Location is great, villa and pool were wonderful. Really quiet and relaxing but only a 5 minute walk into the little town with lots of bars/ shops etc. and a 2 minute walk to the beach.

Beautiful Villa!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Oyster! The villa was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Maria and Georgios were most welcoming! The villa is right on the beach and the pool is just lovely. The location is great it is close to many restaurants and supermarkets. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and if at all possible will come and stay again. Just lovely!
Maybe newer and more bath towels. However, when asked Maria did provide us with more towels.

Blue Oyster Beach Villa - Home from Home
Beautiful villa, within stones throw of the beach.
The staff we're extremely polite and friendly, always ready to assist in anyway they could.
The villa itself was perfect, with being a family of 4, we were able to have a floor each.
Cleaning service was available everyday if required.
Pool perfect size for cooling off during the heat of the day.
A few minor repairs required but nothing of any importance.
Option of a later checkout would have been a nice touch as having a late flight home meant no where to freshen up before heading to the airport.

Excellent accommodation in a brilliant location
Great location, everyone involved with the accommodation make sure you have everything you need and are so friendly. Accommodation is superb
Access to the villa's is very tight if you are driving. The TV reception is fairly poor, in that there are no English channels available
Renting the property via the website was straight forward. Any query was answered promptly. The accommodation was lovely and cleaned daily, with a great location for both beach and restaurants. A problem with a lock was fixed quickly and all staff were friendly and courteous. We booked this holiday to celebrate our daughters 18th birthday and we certainly weren't disappointed, cant believe it's over, we will hopefully return soon.
This was an Amazing accommodation. There were Lovely views, Very friendly and welcoming staff, Excellent service, Perfectly working facilities. Nice town and beach and a Great pool. My family and I are very happy to have stayed here on our holiday.

Top Abdresse für einen erholsamen Urlaib.
Objekt absolut empfehlenswert. Lage und Ausstattung lassen keine Wünsche offen. Relativ zentral und doch ruhig, das immer präsente Meeresrauschen ließ keinen Verkehrslärm durchkommen.
Wir haben die großzügige Raumaufteilung und die Ruhe im genossen.
Auf Grund der mitgelieferten GPS-Koordinaten war es für das Navi auch kein Problem die doch recht enge und unscheinbare Zufahrt zu finden.
Das Personal war stes freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Fantastic- A real Cretian gem!
My three friends and I had a fantastic week away here! Such a beautiful and picturesque place. Everything nearby that you could possibly need. Fantastic views and a stones throw from the clean and peaceful beach. We cooked at home most days and made the most of the bbq but did dine out on a few occasions-a huge choice of places and menus. Can highly reccomend the local greek cuisine. Daily maid service was a pleasant surprise and were so friendly and polite, as was Georgia who made sure our stay was as stress free as possible. We will certainly be back again!
