You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

KEA, above the sea, superb views, near beach.

Beautifully situated property right above the water, with breath-taking views to the bay and beach of Kera, Souda Bay, the White Mountains, the open sea, and the Akrotiri. Nestled among native pine and eucalyptus trees, the villa is perfectly positioned on extensive grounds, offering stunning vistas from all rooms and outdoor areas, and amazing sunsets. The location is quiet and peaceful with the soothing lull of the sea, and the plot is completely private.

The space
There are four double ensuite bedrooms, a 5th bathroom, a spacious dining/living room with open kitchen, and a laundry/utility room with extra fridge which is easily accessed from the outdoor kitchen. Each floor has a spacious concrete covered terrace offering a cool and shady area for relaxation whilst enjoying the spectacular sea views.

Kea is located just 500 meters from the lovely, quiet, and shallow beach of Kera, a perfect spot for swimming and snorkeling in pristine waters. The area also has endless countryside roads for walking and hiking.

The upper floor includes an entrance from the parking area, 3 ensuite bedrooms, an extra bathroom with bathtub, and a hallway with staircase leading to the lower floor.

The lower floor includes a bedroom with ensuite bathroom, the dining/living area, kitchen, laundry room, and the spacious outdoor areas. There are two dining areas on this level, one on the west and one on the east side of the villa. The exterior western part of the lower floor has a wonderful outdoor dining area, 2 lounges, and a practical outdoor kitchen equipped with a wood burning oven, a charcoal BBQ, a sink, and a bar.

The swimming pool is located on the lowest level of the property. Here you’ll also find a spacious pergola covered lounge, sunbeds, naturally shaded areas, the property’s olive grove, a boules court, a guest WC, and an outdoor shower. The swimming pool can be heated at a supplement of € 750 per week.

The property is fully enclosed and includes a gated entrance, and a pergola covered parking space for two cars, and lovely landscaped gardens.

The interiors are an elegant combination of white with a splash of color, and comfortable, modern furnishings, and the outdoor furniture is equally stylish and comfy. In an impeccable condition, Kea was recently completely renovated to high standards both indoors and out.

Attention has been given to high quality mattresses and linens, and each bedroom is equipped with a portable Bose Bluetooth speaker.

The property is within a short walk from Kera beach with crystal clear waters, and the seaside resort of Almyrida with restaurants and cafes along the beach, a water-sports center, and a good selection of shops.

Service included:
For 7 a day stay, 2 sets of towels.
For a 7-9 day stay, midweek cleaning without change of linens and towels.
For a 10-15 day stay, midweek cleaning with change of linens and towels on day 5.
For 16 days stay, 2 midweek cleanings with change of linens and towels.
Linen, towels, & pool/beach towels provided. Option of additional cleaning / change of linen & towels.

Pool: The swimming pool can be heated at a supplement of € 750 per week.

Great Home With An Amazing View
We really enjoyed our stay - beautiful home and good location. A 5 minute walk to a small supermarket and 15 minute walk into the town with a beach, restaurants, bars and larger supermarkets. The home was very well appointed for our group of 5 adults. We enjoyed beautiful sunset views. Property manager was great - reached out before our vacation to help with planning our trip - dinner suggestions, car rental, tour reservations. She helped us schedule a chef to come prepare dinner for us one evening. Food was amazing! A nice welcome basket with coffee and snacks was also provided.

Best VRBO rental every
We loved our stay here. We were three generations and everyone thought Villa Kea was perfect. Property manager incredibly responsive and the Villa had all the amenities you could want. The views and outdoor space are incredible. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy the view and the Villa is convenient to many areas on Crete. The highlight was the private chefs we booked through Alexandra our last night. Our best meal in Greece while watching the sunset over the Ocean. I hope to return someday to this perfect and special spot.

Fantastic villa
This is a beautifully designed modern villa with splendid views of the sea, lovely landscaping and outdoor facilities that is a wonderful place to rent for a family or a group of friends. The owner is also excelent - she made an effort to stop by to introduce herself, was very responsive in the prior communications, and is really knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommended!

Wow - just wow !
There are 3 excellent reasons for staying at Villa Kea. Firstly, the villa is fantastic. The pictures don't come close to doing it justice. Everything is perfectly prepared and laid out, there's everything you'd need for a perfect holiday, and nothing at all has been skimped on. Secondly, the location is to die for. The views, the breeze, the sunsets over the sea, the sun on the mountains are all exceptional. Just a few minutes away is Almyrida with enough disparate restaurants to keep any family happy, and a great little bakery for fresh bread every morning. Chania is a short drive, as are plenty of villages, beaches, tavernas etc, but the villa feels totally isolated and private even though it's only two minutes from the coast road. Finally, Alexandra is a dream to work with on the booking and Carina is a total star on the day-to-day management. We had a local power / water issue, totally out of their control, but they grabbed the problem and enhanced our holiday - textbook, perfect customer service, all delivered with humour and a smile. Just book it - you won't be disappointed !

Wonderful home and experience (with some reservations)
Beautiful home and property. Well appointed and suitable for multiple families. Given the price point, however, I would expect more essentials being provided in the home such as laundry/wash pods, paper products, etc. The cost isn't much for the owner and it creates some minor inconvenience to the renter. Owner/manager were very kind and accommodating. One note of caution: I would highly recommend any prospective renter obtain insurance coverage for the home as upon departure, the home is looked over incredibly close and minor issues are raised by the owner and payment expected.

En pragtfuld og yderst veludstyret feriebolig der ligger med den smukkest tænkelige udsigt. Det blev ferien vi aldrig glemmer og en speciel tak skal lyde til Alexandra og Carina for deres uvurderlige hjælp da vi blev ramt af diverse sygdom der krævede kontakt til det græske sundhedssystem.

Wonderful house
We had a wonderful holiday in this house this summer. The view over the bay is incredible and it was a dream come true every morning. The house is well equipped, clean, tastefully furnished. Everything in the house was perfect and the person who greeted us at the house was very kind and available all the time if needed. The service was impeccable. The pool is large and suitable for all ages as there are several depths. There are many good restaurants in the area which made our stay even more enjoyable. A highlight was being able to watch a sea turtle in the bay from our terrace.

Perfect location
The villa is situated at the cliffs with a beautiful view over the bay. The whole area is very lovely decorated . There are a lot of beautiful places around the house, sunchairs, lounge groups, fatboys and two dining tables. You will find everything you need for a perfect vacation, two BBQs and a full equipped kitchen, even a fridge at the pool, air matrasses, sunshades for the beach and sets of boules. Everything is well organized (check in and out, cleaning...). We had a wonderful time here with five persons, but there would be space for eight. Four very nice furnished bedrooms with a wonderful view. We really miss it!!!
