The Grand Beach House

The location is great. My husband has family in Karystos and we were there for a wedding. We have been many times but have stayed with relatives. The house was close enough to town, yet far enough so we had our own home base. The pool was very nice. The living space were comfortable. The views were gorgeous. The AC in the bedrooms worked well. Linens were all clean and tidy. Plenty of storage and space for your clothes. Bathrooms were nicely done. There was plenty of couches and chairs. The WiFI worked well. The owners met us to give us the keys, even coming to meet us in town when we could not find the house. They also showed up on time when we turned the keys in at the end.

They only provided one bath towel and one beach towel per person. They provided only 1 wash cloth and 1 hand towel for every 2 people. They did not have a washer on site. That's not enough clean towels for a week's stay, especially without a washer to be able to wash your one bath towel. They provided a few small bottles of shower gel, no lotion, no conditioner, etc. We bought all of that after the first day. The kitchen wasn't very well equipped. They could use some better kitchen ware (knives, serving utensils, pans, baking dishes). We purposely stay in houses when we travel so we can make some meals and enjoy the local produce, meats, fish, etc. There is no AC in the main spaces which get very hot, including the living room and kitchen which averaged 85F/29C daily, getting even hotter later in the day. The pool was great, but they had only a few bean bag chairs to sit in, no loungers to dry off or sunbathe. I know it's a US thing because we like softer beds, but the mattresses were so hard. Both my husband and I tossed and turned because we're side sleepers and our legs would go numb from the mattress pressure points. The listing noted bicycles but there were none offered to us.

Duży przestronny dom z kilkoma sypialniami, piękny basen z pięknym widokiem. Bardzo czysto, blisko do plaży i miasteczka. Niedaleko bardzo dużo tawern i restauracji. Gospodarz bardzo miły i pomocny.

Nie było takiej rzeczy.

Fantastic pool, spectacular view, convenient location, spacious rooms, we would definitely stay there again !!
