Irida beachfront Villa for 12 next to all amenities

Villa Irida is a stunning beachfront retreat located along the golden sands of Rethymno, one of Crete’s most beloved coastal towns. This modern and elegantly designed villa offers luxurious accommodation for up to 12 guests, combining sophisticated style with exceptional comfort. Its prime location, just three kilometers from the vibrant center of Rethymno, places guests within easy walking distance of charming tavernas, lively bars, cozy cafés, restaurants, and well-stocked supermarkets, all while enjoying the peace and privacy of a beachfront setting.



Spread across three spacious levels, the villa has been thoughtfully designed to cater to both relaxation and entertainment. On the ground floor, guests are welcomed by a large, open plan living and dining area, tastefully furnished and flooded with natural light. The adjoining kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances, making meal preparation a pleasure. This level also features two bedrooms, one with twin beds and an en-suite shower/WC and another with a double bed and as long as another shower/WC. French doors open onto a charming, covered veranda furnished for outdoor dining and lounging, where guests can savor breathtaking sea views and direct access to the sandy beach and private pool area.



Upstairs, three more beautifully appointed bedrooms await. Two offer plush double beds, while the third features twin beds. This level includes two additional bathrooms, one of which is en suite. Each bedroom is air-conditioned, while two of them open onto a balcony, where guests can enjoy sweeping views of the Cretan Sea, especially enchanting at sunrise or sunset.



The lowest level of the villa reveals the sixth bedroom with twin beds, alongside a shower room with WC. A dedicated playroom with a billiard table provides added entertainment, ensuring guests of all ages are well catered for.



Outdoors, the villa’s 32-square-meter private pool is set amid a small, grassy area that’s perfect for children to play. Sun loungers and umbrellas invite hours of sunbathing or reading in the shade, while the soothing sound of the waves sets the tone for pure relaxation.



Thanks to its convenient location, a car is not required to enjoy everything the area has to offer. A taxi station is just 50 meters away, and the villa is fully equipped for families, with a baby cot and highchair available on request. Please note that the changeover day is on Saturdays.



With its seamless blend of location, luxury, and thoughtful amenities, Villa Irida offers an unforgettable seaside escape on the beautiful island of Crete.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, which features a private pool. There's a private furnished balcony/patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a microwave. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

Fabulous!

Our family with ages ranging from 74 to 2 returned for our second stay at Villa Irida. It is a perfect place for us with plenty of space in the villa, a private pool and across the road from the beach. Bars and restaurants are close by and a cab into the town only costs €5. Supermarkets are an easy walk away. The owner was very helpful before our stay and on hand during our stay if we needed her. I’m sure we’ll return again

Fantastic location and beautiful Villa.

Loved this Villa. At first I was concerned we might be too over looked but the part of the beach where the Villa is opposite is really quiet (we went during the summer holidays). The Owner of the Villa was helpful as were the cleaning staff, really thorough job twice a week. Agency we booked through via VRBO were great, replied within hours whenever I messaged, leading up to the holiday and during. I would return to this Villa for sure. Highly recommended.

Great location

Lovely villa right next to the beach. Great location for restaurants, the beach , local supermarket nearby. Very helpful owners. The pool was not heated but you really don’t need heated pool in Greece in August - it was perfect temperature. Parking off road for a number of cars. But really handy taxi rank a few yards from the villa. €5 into old town. We often got a taxi there and walked back ( about 40 mins). Very relaxing chilled out place.

Excellent location

Couldn’t ask for a better location. Right next to a great beach. Lovely villa with a big pool. Games room. Spotlessly clean. Plenty of room for 12 of us. Taxi rank right outside to get into town in a couple of mins. Owners were excellent in helping out and replying to any questions. Would definitely recommend and even though not a fan of going to the same place twice would happily do so here.

Exceeded expectations

Just had a wonderful week with the whole family. Villa was beautiful and furnished to a high standard. Location couldn’t have been better with many restaurants and supermarkets within a couple of minutes walk. Taxi rank outside, €5 euros to the old town & harbour. The cleaning lady was particularly helpful and came midweek and gave the place a thorough cleaning. Would recommend to anyone who’s after a relaxing time away

Modern Villa with excellent pool - very clean and good location.

Had a great week in this large villa - good location on the edge of Rethymno but still close to local restaurants and supermarkets. The pool is great with shallow child section and a good temperature too. Ample fluffy towels provided too. Villa was very clean and housekeeper lovely - very helpful. Only criticism was a couple of the shower heads were broken which meant bathrooms being shared on occasions and the terrace doors cannot be opened or closed from the outside which was inconvenient too. Other than that it was great and we would return.

Excellent property, location and service.

This was a great property for a week away with 11 people. The owners were available and helpful. The property was as displayed - big enough for our crew, a great pool, and only steps to the beach (you don't even take your shoes!). The local LIME scooters or the Taxi stand across the street made it incredibly easy to visit the old town. We rented vehicles locally and could have parked three in the driveway (this is undersold in the listing). If the dates work for you, you should rent this Villa.

Absolutely fabulous

The villa was exactly as described. Very airy, clean, roomy, comfortable and modern. We like open plan living. The pool was fantastic, very clean and just the right temperature. Less than 5 minutes and you were on the beach. Outside was a taxi rank and for 5euro you could get into the town, very handy if you wanted to pick up buses for sightseeing. Would definately recommend.

Great quality villa

We really enjoyed the position and facilities of the villa. All was first class. Couple of improvements would be to facilities in basement bedroom and ground floor second bedroom, they nee furniture/drawer sets and mirrors. All great though.

"Great family Villa and Location"

Three families stayed at this villa providing us with great facilities, space and views of the beach. The villa has easy access to the beach and a taxi rank which takes you into the old part of Rethymno. The villa is surrounded by mini markets, with a larger supermarket less than a 5-minute walk. Round the corner from the villa is a number of restaurants, (I personally would recommend the 1+1 restaurant). The design of the villa provides plenty of room and space for such a large number of people. The owner very friendly and the cleaning services during our stay was fantastic. I would recommend this villa for large families with either younger children, or teenagers.

Excellent ...

Been here before. Location. Cleanliness. Owners all excellent. The following would make it more enjoyable...... Pool Towels. Only 4 plastic cups and 2 plastic plates in a villa for 12 to take around the pool so had to use glass which if broken could be nasty for children. No oven tray. No microwave bowls. No ovenglooves. Only 1 pan!!!! 4,draws completely empty and very very little to cook with. These could be rectified at a small cost but would make the villa so much better. There were just 5 of us there so we managed but if there were 10/12 it would be hopeless.... The villa itself is superb and we will return as it ticks so many boxes for us ... If the above issues were sorted it would be so much nicer for its guests.

Entspannungsurlaub mit der Familie

Das Haus hat liegt in einer Top Lage direkt am Strand am Ende einer Sackgasse. Das Haus verfügt über neu eingerichtete Schlafzimmer. Die Küche ist etwas spärlich ausgestattet ( Besteck, Teller, Gläser) und hat nur eine kleine Spülmaschine. Die Bäder sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen, sollen aber laut Vermieterin nach der Saison erneuert werden. Die Vermieter selbst sind sehr freundlich und schauen mehr Mals die Woche vorbei und fragen nach dem rechten. Rund um ein entspannter Familienurlaub in einer Villa in der wir bereits 2x gehaust haben und gerne wieder kommen werden

Herrliches Haus

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in diesem wundervollen Haus.Die Ausstattung ist außergewöhnlich gut, die Schlafzimmer sind groß und die Matratzen fest und alles andere als durch gelegen. Aufgrund des noch guten Wetters haben wir die großzügig geschnittenen Innenräume nur zeitweise genutzt, die Küche hat alles was es benötigt, vielleicht mit Ausnahme einer Salatsschüssel. Der Internetempfang ist gut, allerdings nur im Erdgeschoss. Wir haben uns sehr gefreut, dass zum Billardtisch funktionsfähige Queues vorhanden waren – auch in Luxuriösen Objekten keine Selbstverständlichkeit und einfach ein weiterer Beleg dafür, wie fürsorglich und liebevoll die Eigentümer das Haus und ihre Gäste behandeln. Die Lage und der Außenbereich könnten nicht besser sein.Alles in allem uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert!
