Family-friendly holiday rentals in Jelsa

Our family of 6 had a wonderful stay at the penthouse that offered great space and amenities and it was a short walk to town. Would definitely stay here with our family again! Thank you!

This was one of our favourite stays in Croatia. The accommodation far exceeded our expectations. Spacious apartment, perfectly equipped, tastefully furnished and sparkling clean. Quietly located, with fantastic views of the sea. This accommodation is outstanding. Natali is a warm, helpful and reliable hostess. We hope that we can come back one day.

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich etwas besonderes. Eine tolle ruhige Lage, aber dennoch nah am Hafen/Ortsmitte/Strand um alles zu Fuß zu erreichen. Der Pool auf der Terrasse ist herrlich, und der Ausblick vom Balkon zum Festland jeden Morgen aufs Neue wunderschön. Frano ist ein herzlicher und wunderbarer Gastgeber, der sich ganz toll um seine Gäste kümmert.

Odusevljeni smo smestajem! U potpunosti opremljen smestaj do najsitnijeg detalja cak i tableta za sudo masinu. Sacekao nas je poklon kuce (pice, voce,…).

Sve je bilo cisto i domacin nas je upucivao i davao savete o lokalnim atrakcijama. Dolazimo ponovo!

By far the best Airbnb stay I've ever had! Josipa and her father were kind enough to transfer us to and from the Hvar town to the apartment (apartment is on a steep hill with steps). Josipa was really friendly and shared us some of her favourite restaurants and things to do on the island. The apartment was beyond incredible, the rooms were perfectly air conditioned and she provided lots of useful amenities including beach towels, slippers and a washing machine. The view was beautiful, you can see the Pakleni islands very clearly and Vis in the background. The hot tub was easy to use and fantastic in the evening. There were also plenty of furniture including sunbeds. The location was brilliant, it was only a 15 minute walk to a nearby public beach and was fairly easy to walk up and down to town in the evening, although be cautious during midday as there isn't much shade. There is also a supermarket about 15 mins away a few streets down. Great for couples or up to four people!

Maya, her son, and father are amazing!!! Very friendly and accommodating. We spent the most time here during our 2 week Euro trip. Fantastic views from the balcony and a great place to relax with lounge chairs and a table to eat at. Right on the water with a great walk down to the shore where you can jump right into the sea! Space was modern, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was SO nice. By far the nicest bathroom of anywhere we stayed. Maya's father took us out on his boat with his beagle. It was amazing. He knew the best spots, shared cool information/stories. It was a very authentic/non touristy experience. Maya let us borrow snorkel gear and that was beyond awesome because we snorkeled in the sea by the house but also on our boat trip which was truly special. She also provided homemade olive oil which was divine. WONDERFUL experience and stay.

Es war ein toller Aufenthalt. Wir waren zu zweit und hatten ausreichend Platz. Das Apartment wäre auch gut für vier Personen geeignet. Die Sofabezüge wirken etwas altmodisch, doch die sensationelle Aussicht auf das Meer und die grosse Terrasse mit Whirlpool, lässt einen das sofort vergessen. Die Vermieterin war sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Der Transport vom Airport zur Unterkunft war perfekt organisiert. Vielen Dank für alles

We had such a wonderful stay at Zvonimir’s place in Podstrana! The home was beautiful, clean, and had an absolutely stunning view, the kind you don’t forget. Zvonimir and his family were exceptional hosts: kind, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful. One of the highlights was receiving some delicious homemade treats that made us feel right at home. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations, and we’d absolutely come back again. Highly recommend!

This place is beautiful. The view from the terrace is absolutely stunning. We saw the stars and heard owls at night. Has everything you need to make breakfast and do some basic cooking if you can be bothered, but there's lots of places to eat in the likes of Bol, with quite a few still open in the shoulder season. It is next to another kind of boutique hotel/airbnb thing but you're still afforded relative privacy from the terrace. Marijan gave us solid instructions on how to get there, but we still drove past the turn off so better to get there in daylight if you can. You will need a car. All in all such an amazing stay, the island of Brač has so much to offer, and this is a particularly idyllic spot. Thank you!

Marija was the best host ever. She welcomed us at the door and helped us feel right at home. The apartment and view were spectacular and sooo close to everything in town. Spotless and modern with all the perfect little touches. Marija even helped us book a taxi across the island and saved us money. We loved our visit and will happily stay here again next time we come to Hvar!!

A fabulous apartment which was perfect for us. Having your own beach shared with the other apartments was perfect. About 25 minute walk into Hvar. We had a lovely time - we are at the nearby pizzaria where the food and views were amazing. We visited mlini beach by water taxi which was great. The hotel next door does lovely coffee. Our favourite bar Falkos was about a 10 minute walk. So many restaurants in Hvar it’s hard to choose. Shop nearby with all basics. Nira is a great host and very responsive. Would recommend this place if you want a relaxing beach stay just outside of the busy town.

This secluded cabin is a true gem! We feel lucky to have been able to spend a week here and absolutely loved every minute. Kole helped us get situated and provided a box of fresh and tasty farm veggies. We like to cook and grilling in the well-stocked and beautifully made outdoor wood oven was a treat. Spending lazy days swimming off the dock and reading on the outdoor terraces was incredibly relaxing. The cove has a number of boats coming in during the day but is tranquil and quiet at night.

The apartment is in a great position. Angelika and her family are great hosts. Very clean apartment with everything you need.

We had a lovely stay at Andelkas villa. The view down to the coast from the pool was beautiful. As a group we really liked the outdoor kitchen and pool area. The villa was only a short drive from lots of beaches and the lovely towns of Jelsa and Starigrad. The parking was situated away from the villa and was a bit tricky at times, but we always managed to find a space.

Vincas place is authentic, we enjoyed specially de outdoor space, shady and also sunny spots during the day, surrounded by trees and flowers equipped with comfortable outdoor furniture. The apartment was spotless clean, well equipped kitchen and a lot of space. Vinca and her husband gave us a warm welcome. We walked to different beaches and liked the exercise. We highly recommend this place! Thank you Vinca

Vi hade en fantastisk vistelse hos Antonela. Vi var så nöjda med lägenheten och framförallt den mysiga balkongen med den fina utsikten! Lägenheten var ren och hade allt man kan tänka behöva :) Antonela svarade oss alltid väldigt snabbt vid frågor och var mycket hjälpsam när vi skulle boka färja tillbaka till Split. Allt som allt är vi supernöjda och reser gärna tillbaka och bor här igen :)

In a nutshell: if Antonio's place is available, just book it. This place is all about the views, which were amazing from each level. I've never been to such a well equipped Airbnb. The kitchen had all sorts of cutlery, pots and tupperware which made cooking and serving communal meals easy. Oil etc was provided and the welcome platter was perfect for our first night. The outdoor wood fired BBQ was great too, we used that twice during our stay. Simple things like having an ice machine made everything easy, with the outside fridge we barely had to go inside. All en suite bedrooms was also a great feature, with plenty of towels and amenities. Lots of super markets nearby, we found Kaufland the best for a big shop. Hire cars were a must for is, though we were able to get ubers to and from the villa. The road up is quite steep, and realistically not easily walkable, but that comes with the private view you get at the top which really is panoramic with sunshine from sun rise to sunset

We stayed at Lana's place for 5 days and it was the best decision. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed, there was also a huge balcony which gets the sun for most of the day and overlooks the pool. The pool was incredible. The location couldn't be better - you are a 5 minute walk away from the port of Hvar. Lana gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants and beaches while we were there. We are so grateful for their hospital, her and her husband were lovely! Would definitely stay here again!

Wir waren eine Gruppe von 9 Personen. die Lage ist traumhaf. sehr ruhig und man kann direkt von der Villa ins Meer. Das Haus war sehr sauber und hat so wie auf den Fotos ausgesehen. die Küche im Haus und auch die Aussenküche waren top ausgerüstet und hatten alles, was man braucht. der Grill und der Pizzaofen fanden wir super. das Haus ist etwas abseits gelegen. Restaurants hat es keine in der Nähe. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind aber genügend vorhanden und mit dem Auto gut erreichbar. das Haus ist perfekt für erholsame Ferien.

We didnt want to leave!!! We are already recommending this lovely little find to friends and family and we will definitely be back. We booked last minute and Maja could not have been anymore accommodating and helpful. The villa was everything we could have wished for . Everything was clean and comfortable. The location was amazing only 5 minute walk to the harbour and restaurants and 15 minutes to the beach. We rented a boat for the day to explore the islands and rented bikes for a day and cycled over to Jesla which was a delight. Hvar town is only 30mins taxi ride away . Thank you so much Maja and team ! Xxxx

Eine phänomenale Unterkunft mit einer top Ausstattung! Einfach die Seele baumeln lassen und diesen tollen Ausblick genießen. Jedes Detail wurde sorgsam durchdacht und der Pool ist super sauber. Der Zugang zum Strand ist gigantisch, jede Ecke auf dem Weg zum Strand ist ein Schmuckstück für sich. Alles extrem gepflegt. In Laufnähe (ca 5 Minuten) ein gut sortierter Mini-Supermarkt und 2 Restaurants. Die Gastgeberin Ana bekommt eine 10/10, extrem kompetent, zuvorkommen, unkompliziert und einfach besonders.

Wow! I really think this could be one of the most breathtaking views we have ever had on holiday, it’s just amazing. The house is beautiful. Plenty of space for a family of four and it is equipped with everything we needed. We didn’t spend much time inside though because the outside area is just so lovely. The heated pool was fantastic for the children and the summer kitchen is just brilliant. We have never stayed in such a perfect place. The local area is beautiful. We went hiking and Petar also recommended a rafting company that we went out with and had a brilliant time. Both trips were great ways to explore. We also went to some beaches that Petar recommended and spent a day around Mostar which was also incredible. A fantastic holiday all round. Thank you

If you enjoy peaceful surroundings out of the city this is the place for you! It was clean, simple and beautiful for a restful few days after exploring the area. And I was very helpful and answered our questions quickly. I highly recommend this home!

Linda and Ivo’ place is beautiful and was perfect for our family of four. Linda and Ivo really fit the bill when it comes to being super hosts - nothing was too much trouble and we really appreciated their warm welcome. They went above and beyond to help us settle in and make sure we had what we needed. We came without a car and found getting around no problem - the bikes were very useful and the boats regular. Ivo’s help getting to and from the port with luggage was much appreciated. The kids loved Brac - snorkelling and windsurfing was a hit. Very sad to leave…!
