Quiet seaside home
We chose the area for the proximity to the ocean and convenience to attractions. It was perfect for short drives to multiple attractions. Home offers every convenience and the neighborhood in the off season was pin drop quiet -
The beachside restaurants were closed for season so couldn’t walk to restaurants in off season but they are just a short 5-20 min drive away . Host was excellent 5stars . away

Great place for a week of summer
Very well placed, well equipped and cozy house with all you need. Friendly owners. Close to many beaches and a short drive away from towns with cafes and restaurants. Small issue is that it is on the corridor for planes landing in Heraklion so you can hear them.

Crete stay
Pros: nice space; room darkening shutters that also kept the noise out; each room had its own air conditioning; nice deck and patio; close to the sea; owner provided a bottle of wine, some fruit, a cake roll, a couple bottles of water, and raki.
Cons: each bathroom had only a half a roll of toilet paper and we were there 4 nights. A spare roll for each bathroom was requested, but owner stated that it was not in the house rules to provide that. He did say he would bring one over that evening, but he did not. (I know he wasn’t feeling well while we were there) We requested a trash bag so we could empty our kitchen garbage. Request was denied.
Could be better: there was no plastic wrap, foil, or baggies. If you plan to cook and store leftovers bringing some ziplocks would be useful. Coffee, sugar, and salt were provided, but no additional spices or cooking oil. I know some VRBO’s don’t stock many of these items and others do. I tend to be more satisfied for the places that do have the extras. I think it’s good to know ahead of time.
There were some beach chairs in the back of the house that we didn’t see until the last day as it wasn’t pointed out on check-in.
Shower heads were hand held, which was inconvenient, but doable.

What an amazing property and overall experience!
What an amazing property and overall experience. Located just outside Heraklion, close enough to ancient and modern cites but outside of the city, near the sea is ideal. Someone wrote that the airplanes bothered them, I don’t know what they were talking about, the planes stopped at @11pm and were not a problem for us. Three couples stayed there and there was plenty of room and amenities for all. A great garden for our breakfast, a nice balcony to relax in the evening. The house is modern with some nice traditional-looking furniture. But the property’s great advantage is the owner, George. He treated us with local drinks (raki and rakomelo) fruits sweets etc. he also gave us three superb recommendations for dinners. One taverna specializing in seafood and one in grilled meats. Both were more than what we expected. Fresh delicious food and reasonably priced (both owners were great as well). He also suggested a pricier seaside seafood restaurant to celebrate my birthday. This was also a great choice. If you are a party of six looking for accommodations in the area this is your place!

Lovely property very close to a good beach
The property was exactly as described and the photographs truly reflected the property and garden.
The owners were exceptional. Eva and Georgio went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable and trouble free. On arrival we were met and a lovely lunch was waiting for us along with many other food and drink treats. Georgio then offered to take us in his car to show us the local area, where the supermarkets and restaurants were and which roads to take. It saved us a lot of hassle in trying to find your own way around the small narrow roads.
The beach is only a short walk - less than 5 minutes and there are lovely sun beds to hire for not a lot of money. The beach is a lovely clean sandy beach and really good for swimming.
We ate out a lot at the next village along the coast - Kota Gouves which is a lot larger than Gournes - it has lots of really good restaurants and has a good atmosphere and buzz about it.
Would thoroughly recommend a holiday here.

Wonderful Villa...
Our family of four just returned from a wonderful five-day vacation at Casa Eva. The Villa is exactly as pictured -- spacious, tastefully, lovingly furnished, and very clean and comfortable. It features a lovely, well-tended garden with a variety of flowers. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Eva and George with a home-cooked breakfast, fruit and bottles of wine and Cretan raki. All the basics were supplied. George was so kind that he even took us for a drive around the area to familiarize us while offering tips on restaurants, grocery stores and attractions. He was available to answer all our questions.
Casa Eva is located in a quiet area next to a family beach. The quiet was interrupted only by birds and cicadas and an occasional airplane (mostly heard while at the beach, but hardly noticeable while inside). Crete is a beautiful place -- we drove around quite a bit to Knossos, Heraklion and Rethymnon. We look forward to coming back to Crete and Villa Eva.

Best location for exploring the archeological sites.
Cool, spacious, well equipped and amazing views.
Yes, under the flight path for Heraklion approach, but it’s fun & definitely no problem with double-glazed doors closed at night & a/c on; I slept like a baby!!
Appreciated the fly screens too.
Wi-Fi brilliant. All cooking appliances & gadgets there, condiments etc., it felt like staying with close friends. As for the gifts on arrival! What can I say! Eva, Georgos & Natasha were so generous with food for our arrival, wine (& more!), daily gifts of home cooked treats, & also Georgos showed us the vicinity on arrival, where to shop, where to eat, pharmacy, routes, car parks, everything imaginable to make our stay fantastic. We can’t thank them enough!
Must also add, photos are true to the reality! No staged scenes, no airbrushing; really honest. Also, there is a hair dryer, good drying area for beach clothes or general washing, cold tap outside to wash sand off feet. And then the garden . . . The perfumes were heady, frangipani, jasmine, scented geranium, basil, mint & twinkling lights in the trees! Loved it!
Oh & lashings of hot water; plumbing really good!!
Thank you all for a lovely stay.

The hosts were absolutely amazing - they greeted us with home cooked meals, drinks and a big bowl of fruits. Very friendly and welcoming. Also, since we didn't rent a car and taxis were surprisingly expensive in Greece, Eva's husband gave us a ride to a local supermarket to get some groceries. We are very grateful for Eva's hospitality.

False advertisement - intensive passage of planes over the house
On the presentation card, it is indicated VERY CALM. It was the impression we had when we arrived around 1:30 am. But what awakening around 7am during the resumption of activity of the airport of Heraklion: thrill of jet engines in phase of landing every 5 minutes ...
I understand why the owner was very eager to receive the balance of our payment immediately upon our arrival ... It was very quiet then.
The villa, presented as very quiet, is actually in the air corridor of Heraklion, with aircraft passes at very low altitude (150 to 250 m) just above the house. The notion of calm flies up in smoke instantly ... Goodbye good naps and relaxing nights ☹
The owner did not respond to our request to cancel our second week on the VRBO website. His answer was: "you will see that you will get used to the sound of planes ...".
So we had to stay and lock ourselves in this house with shutters and windows permanently closed for 15 days and nights. Not top during the month of July ...
During a shower & beard shaving & drying, I counted up to 5 plane passes: record to beat ... The shadow of the planes passes squarely on the house. We had to rent a car urgently to escape the day to avoid this ceaseless noise.
In short for calm and serenity, you must forget. This explains my very negative note ...
The surroundings are not interesting or beautiful: next to the former US military base disused, with remains of shabby barracks and squatted by homeless .
A shallow sandy beach is accessible to children, right next to a small port without charm: watch the boats pass by the swimmers.
Other than that, nice house, with 3 air-conditioned bedrooms with double beds, and a sofa in the living room / kitchen, that is 8 people.
The layout is clean but average, not very practical. No luxury or the hot tub announced in the beginning despite the announcement that has been changed since my remark to the owner!
The shower room on the first floor is badly lacking storage space to put its things.
BBQ without accessories like tongs. Pity!
Small garden on the front of the house and parking space provided but without table to eat.
kitchen: dishwasher and huge fridge
private terrace upstairs with sea views but it's complicated to eat there because far from the kitchen.
Many problems of connection to the unstable wifi at startup / exit of standby.
In summary I do not recommend unless you like planes ... you can find better and much quieter elsewhere.

The hosts, Eva, George and Natasha were more than helpful, providing us with gorgeous home made food and drink! (which we weren't expecting) taking us to the supermarket and even to the airport for our journey home, could not have asked for nicer hosts 🙂. Everything about our stay was wonderful and we would not hesitate to recommend to others, in fact some of my work colleagues are actually looking at booking next year!

The hosts welcomed us with local delicacies (food and drink). They were extremely reactive and helpful when we encountered a small problem during our stay.The house is located in a quiet area only 15’ from the airport and close to all comodities. Although it is at the vertical of the trajectory of planes landing in Heraklion, this was not disturbing. The home is well equipped with a lovely front garden and a very nice terrace upstairs.

My big fat greek vacation on Crete
We were on vacation in three generations. Villa Eva is a beautiful place for holiday in big family. The terrace and the balcony offers enough opportunies for relaxing, dinner, playing games and much more. It was great to make breakfast outside every morning. Position of the ville is very good for tapsing along the coast, swimming on the beach or near to Taverna and the Cretaquarium. Other attractions as Knossos, Spinalonga and the Lasithi plateau can be reach easily from the villa by car. Vacations were most beautiful and we will remember long ago. Efharisto para Poli!

Ist okay.
Das Haus an sich ist sehr schön und geräumig mit einer Terrasse an einem kleinen Garten. Es wirkt wie eine kleine Oase. Mit den 3 Schlafzimmern ist Platz für 6 Personen. Mehr Personen fände ich nicht angebracht.
Der Vermieter hat uns sehr nett empfangen.
Die Lage des Hauses ist gut für Erkundungen im östlichen Teil der Insel. Ein Auto wird benötigt, um beweglich zu sein.
Die Umgebung des Hauses, naja. Man hat vom oberen Balkon aus teilweise Meerblick. Den "Strand" kann man nicht als Strand bezeichnen, um mal ins Wasser zu springen, ist es vielleicht okay. Nicht, um am Strand zu liegen. Das Gebiet an sich sieht aus wie in der Erschließung, wahrscheinlich ist das seit Jahren der Stand.
Die Möblierung des Hauses ist alles ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, aber akzeptabel.
Leider fehlt ausgerechnet im Haupt- Schlafzimmer ein Insektenschutz. Auch im rückwärtigen Schlafraum.
Der Fluglärm ist vorhanden, aber durchaus ertragbar.
Es tut mir leid, dass ich die bisher tollen Bewertungen so nicht bestätigen kann.
