Idyllically positioned luxury self-catering house right on the water's edge in Bali with the call of the gulls overhead, this is truly as close as you get to the water without getting wet!

Impeccable interiors, sea-salted air and panoramic views over Bali Bay make Sea-esta Beach House an idyllic retreat for families and group of friends looking for a contemporary self-catering accommodation by the sea in Crete. Look forward to lazy mornings under the covers gazing out to sea, long days on the beach and al fresco suppers by the chiminea beneath a blanket of twinkling stars.

Sea-esta Beach House ensures an unforgettable beach retreat!

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
This bountiful seaside home spans over two floors. The four beautifully bedecked bedrooms offer a vision of wispy summer whites with splashes of aqua and fine linens to ensure the aura of contemporary seaside chic flows throughout.

On the first floor, you will find all four bedrooms, each designed for comfort and relaxation. Two of the bedrooms feature twin beds (1.10m x 2.00m) that can be joined upon request to form a king-size bed, with sliding doors opening onto a spacious balcony overlooking the stunning Bali Bay. One of these rooms also includes an en-suite bathroom for added convenience. Additionally, there are two standard double bedrooms—one with a private balcony offering beautiful sea views and another with a window allowing natural light to fill the space. A shared bathroom is also available on this floor. With the kitchen and living area located on the upper floor, children can enjoy their own private retreat while adults relax upstairs. A family wet room with a shower and WC is also conveniently situated on this level.

For relaxation
The open plan sitting, dining and kitchen area ensures that you don’t miss out on a moment of ‘us time’. Sit a while and take in the sights and sounds of the beach or demonstrate your culinary skills in the kitchen making good use of locally-sourced produce delis. Make the most of the setting and enjoy a long lazy meal in the dining area, spend the afternoon undisturbed curled up with a good book on the sumptuous L-shaped sofa, while memorable evenings can be enjoyed along with a Marshall soundtrack with friends.

Outside
Step outside your front door and take a mosey around the characterful beach of Bali then hire canoes to swan down - there's no better way to admire the coastline than from the water.

Pad up the steps to reach your private roof terrace, where the sound of the waves provide the most blissful space for a morning stretch and freshly brewed coffee. Let the sea air and warm sun tickle your skin as Bali casts its magical spell of calm over you. After a day's adventuring on the beach, look forward to a sunset dine al fresco on the veranda with succulent barbecued seafood and savour the vista of seabirds and fishing boats passing by in the distance. Retire to the balcony to finish the day to the tune of chinking glasses and family merriment.

With the town centre just a short walk away, go on an on-foot to find some of the greek best restaurants and shops or take your pick from any one of the stunning beaches of Bali and enjoy a good old fashioned day at the seaside.

Location Overview.
Bali village was a small fishing village, but over the years has become a charming touring village, overlooking the little fishing harbour and the sea. It is a very attractive and romantic place, combining sea and mountains. Life is easy going enjoying the sun and the clear calm sea at a number of sandy and shingly beaches. Bali is a modern seaside resort, which offers a large choice of taverns ,restaurants, a bakery, an ATM machine, super markets, a butchery and cheese shop, as well as a wide variety of little shops, diving school, bars and discos. 

Bali is ideal for family and romantic holidays. Bali has four beaches, which are formed in sandy coves with nice greenish waters. The beaches are almost always calm, since the direction of Bali is western. They all are suitable for children and well organised. Moreover, buses from Heraklion and Rethymnon run to Bali.  Furthermore, from the local harbour, excursion boats run daily to Rethymnon. The passengers have the chance to admire a unique coastline with beautiful caves and rock formations.
