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 the four bedrooms, the two bedrooms features a double-size bed and two singles (1.10 each), and sliding doors leading to a big balcony overlooking Bali Bay. There's also two standard double bedrooms one with balcony sea views, and one with window. Having the kitchen and living area on the top floor means children can enjoy the luxury of their very own space and leave the adults upstairs, whilst the family wet room with shower and WC sits on the this floor. 

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.

Fantastic place
We have stayed at the Sea- esta beach 3 times and it never changes .It is spacious and the veranda is big and well equipped for outside dining. The beds are very comfortable with good quality pillows and bedding. The beach is on your doorstep the restaurants are friendly and typical Cretan but what makes it so special are the people they go above and beyond to make your holiday special. We will definitely be returning .Thank you Valia for the excellent service you gave us. Regards Sue,Lud,Gill and John

Great Beach Holiday Home
This was a 2 storey flat very close to a lovely beach with 3 good tavernas nearby. The accommodation was very comfortable and we had superb views of the beach and harbour. Only two things to be aware of - 1. the spiral staircase would not be suitable for anyone with mobility difficulties. 2. It is over a bar which plays music all day until 3 or 4am. So not ideal for light sleepers. You and reduce noise by keeping windows and shutters closed at night and using the air conditioning

Perfect
Perfect location and resort and the property had absolutely everything we needed and more. Good communication with everyone involved in the rental process. Cannot praise it enough really and Bali is a beautiful place. The only thing I would say is that Bali has steep hills and the spiral staircase in the apartment might be tricky for some.

Idyllic half term
As a family of 5 we found the property perfect. Plenty of space both inside and out (two generous balconies). The property was well equipped. We arrived at about 1am after a late flight and were met and welcomed on arrival. A perfect holiday!

Cosy apartment in a top location
The duplex apartment is very mice and functional. It is perfectly located, 10 meters from the beach with plenty of activities if needed (sailing, fishing trips,...), 50 meters from a traditional little port and close to a few nice tavernas . This is a perfect place for a family with small children who wants to do everything by foot and enjoy the sea while being able to go home for naps and other. Valia has been extremely accommodating and helpful!! Excellent experience!!!!

Beautiful house great location
Impressed with the house which was right on a beautiful beach. We had everything we needed on our door step. We were delighted when the manager said we could stay a bit longer on our final day, but then we were let down at the last minute as a friend of the owner wanted to use the house. This made things difficult as we couldn’t change taxi times so were left homeless for four hours with three children. So warning to others if you do get the offer of an extension be careful not to change plans, as the owner may let the house to a friend again and put you out on the street!!!
