Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Agia Pelagia

My wife loved this place. Everything from the new modern unit to the garden grounds. The bed was comfortable and the private parking area was also very convenient. The beach is walking distance, only half a mile away(downhill). But we didn’t feel like walking uphill back to the unit, se we just drove. An adorably friendly cat visits daily, which my wife also enjoyed.

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

She was the best host that anyone could ever ask for. She went out of her way to give us dinner when we had just arrived (at 11pm) cake and gelatin that she had made from scratch and even gave us amazing places to check out all over Crete. Bless your soul Mandy. I will ALWAYS come back should the opportunity arises. Upon arrival the place was clean and ready on arrival. It was supplied with trash bags, a TV, kitchen supplies, even with some food in the fridge (which we greatly appreciated) great WIFI, and even bathroom and shower toiletries.

I had the pleasure of staying at Villa Majo with my family for two weeks in August. The villa itself is beautiful and ideally located in Agia Palagia, just 20 minutes from Heraklion and about the same distance from the airport. The property is brand new and impeccably maintained, featuring five comfortable bedrooms. The upstairs rooms offer stunning sea views, making mornings truly special. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional hospitality. Maria, the owner, is incredibly attentive and goes above and beyond to cater to your every need, acting almost like a personal concierge. Whether it's arranging beach trips, restaurant reservations, or even a manicure, Maria has it covered. And the massage—simply the best I've ever had! Rena, who looks after the villa, prepares and serves delicious breakfasts daily and cooks amazing dinners in their charming wine room, separate from the main house. Her culinary skills are outstanding. I highly recommend villa Majo. Perfect stay !

Definitely the best choice I have made. Location and decor and surrounding gardens. All wonderful.

Michael was an excellent host , and we enjoyed our staying, a very private and peaceful zone , we would return definitely!

This property is on the top of our list of all of the Super-host level properties we’ve been at whether Air B&B or any other platform. Premium quality and high marks for design aesthetics promoting maximum relaxation inside or in the yard with breathtaking views all day long and spectacular sunsets. All meals at the property must be had out doors! It was a perfect retreat after long days of sightseeing. We would rent it again in a heartbeat and will recommend it to family. John & Autumn

This house is an extremely special place. The view from the balcony into the valley was absolutely stunning, the furnishings are lovely and tasteful, and the recommendations that Apo provided were spot on. The tavern in the village fed us fit to burst, and we couldn’t stop talking about how we hope to return again someday. Thank you for sharing this beautiful space with us ❤️

My friend and I spent 5 days at Dimitris' accommodation and were very satisfied with our stay. The highlight of the apartment is definitely the view. Several beaches can be reached on foot. There are many taverns in Agia Pelagia. However, the location is also well suited for exploring the island. For example, we were in Matala, Heraklion and Rethymno. The apartment was very well equipped, there was nothing missing. Dimitris was always available and responded quickly to our questions. A booklet with information and recommendations was available on site. Dimitris was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, we would recommend the apartment!

The apartment was spotless, well-equipped, and very comfortable. The location is peaceful and just a short walk to the beach and local spots. We especially enjoyed the pool—clean, quiet, and perfect for relaxing. The host was welcoming and helpful throughout. Would happily return!

Amazing accommodation w/ beautiful views of the beach, parking, a full kitchen, comfortable bed. My only wish would be to have had more time to spend at this apartment

Pinelopis airbnb is extremely spacious and well decorated. There is a dishwasher and laundry machine and 3 large bedrooms. The location is super convenient, being only a 2 minute walk from the beach, grocery stores, and restaurants. We loved hanging out in the courtyard and eating breakfast on the porch. Our hosts were very communicative and easy to get in touch with as well. We really enjoyed our stay here! Thanks again!

Thank you so much Antonis for this wonderful stay. The apartment is perfect with great A/C and good WiFi as well. It is so well located with only a few minutes walk to the beach and supermarket. Antonis was very responsive and so helpful. We had a great 3.5 weeks and couldn’t recommend this apartment enough!

We stayed at Nikolaos’s apartment for 5 days - 2 adults and 1 teenager. The apartment was very comfortable for the three of us - there is a balcony and roof top area which we used every day. The beach is 100m away and Nikolaos has a range of water sports gear you can use (fins, snorkels etc). There are many restaurants, shops and mini markets all within walking distance. Nikolaos and his wife are the perfect hosts. He booked a taxi for our late arrival from Heraklion airport and his wife drove us back for a small fee. They are super friendly and outgoing. The small village of Agia Pelagia is perfect for a beach getaway. We 100% recommend staying at Nikolaos’s!

amazing stay and we enjoyed the welcome gifts. thank you again for a great stay!

We had the best time ever at My Sea Sight. I have no words to describe. Amazing, beautiful, peaceful place with a great infinity pool. Sunsets by the pool are unforgettable. It's super close to the city centre with loads of stores and supermarkets. You'll have plenty of options for great restaurants and bars. It's super close to the main bus stops and for the main tours pick-up points too. Stefani is absolutely amazing, super friendly and always doing the most to ensure we had the best holiday. It's such a lovely place, wish we had stayed longer! Stefani, you're the best host we could have asked for and I thank you for it! ❤️

Very central home but quiet at night . Very clean ,comfortable and in a safe neighbourhood Nothing was missing. Everything was perfect

The apartment is very pleasant : clean, modern, spacious and perfectly equipped. The small balcony and roof terrace are a real plus and add to the apartment's charm. Erietta and Manolis provide numerous recommendations for discovering Heraklion and its best addresses, which is particularly appreciated. Very responsive and attentive, they ensure that everything runs smoothly. An excellent experience, which I recommend without hesitation!

Excellent apartment well located near the port and also near the pedestrian city center where the good bars-cafes and restaurants were. I loved my stay in Heraklion. Thank you Christina.

Marianna’s place was great - we had a very pleasant time there. The view over the Mediterranean Sea is stunning, and the location is easy to access. Her mum, Sonia, kindly made us a local pie upon arrival, and she was so friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. There are several excellent restaurants nearby, and it’s only about 20 minutes to the Heraklion city centre. Highly recommended!

Great and very nice place with a lovely view. Close to the Lion square.

We stayed one night. This bnb has a nice big balcony with views of the hills and mountains. You’re close by to restaurants and night life of the city which we loved to walk through. Host provided recommendations for dinner and cafes across different budgets. If we had to stay two nights, we certainly would not have minded staying here again. Also, this bnb is on a very quiet street in an elevator building.

Everything about our stay was perfect. Kostis was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The location was absolutely amazing and close to everything we wanted to see. The place itself was clean, comfortable and had the best view. I would definitely book it again in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay

We thank Kallia very much and we asked her husband for something and we had it in five minutes. He also helped us with something we were looking for in the area. In general, both are very friendly. Very clean and beautiful space. I highly recommend it. Thank you again Rania-Akis
