Holiday rentals with a kayak in Balkans

We loved staying at Slaven’s place near Vela Luka. It was an amazing, tranquil location with no one else around. The best part was swimming in the crystal clear water right next to the house. Like other reviewers have said - we’d love to keep this special place secret. Korcula is a beautiful island and the old town is absolutely stunning. We loved that due to the islands remote location the island remains fairly quiet even in the height of summer. Slaven was an absolutely fantastic host and really made us feel welcome. We can’t recommend this location enough!

We enjoyed the stay and the view. The villa is amazing and clean.

Words can’t describe the amazing House Nika… it simply needs to be experienced! Amazing location, I was looking for a place to rest and recharge, this is exactly what House Nika offered. We didn’t have a car, but walked into the village for dinner on a few nights, the local people friendly and welcoming. We didn’t venture much further, we really didn’t need to! Appreciated the contact from Ana mid way through, though we had everything we needed. An absolute treasure of a find… thank you 🤗

A wonderful host in a stunning place...

Everything about Cottage by the Sea is special, from Kia (the owner) to the location, the surroundings, the house, neighbours - EVERYTHING! The house is perfect. Beautifully decorated, lacking nothing. The aircons were a saving grace! The beach is on your doorstep. And Atheras beach is simply stunning, hugged between two hills and the landmark rocky island in the middle of the entrance to the bay. We had 4 blissful weeks in Kia's house as a family of 5. The sea, sun and peace did wonders for our wellbeing. Really enjoyed the lemons and grapes from the garden. Oh, and the goats! Ethos, Pathos and Logos visited almost everyday (destroying Kia's beautiful Delicious Monsters, no less) but they were a special feature and lingers in our memories. A special mention to Makis, who took us out on his fishing boat for a day to other beaches close by. Kia is a warm, efficient host, non-intrusive and yet anticipating every need of her guests. Highly recommend!! We'll come again.

Nice place, everything very nice, good location!

Very well located accommodation with a magnificent view. We enjoyed the beautiful terrace. The accommodation is well equipped.

We had an incredible time at this place! It was beautiful, quiet, and just a few steps from an always-empty beach. We loved using the paddle boards and kayaks, and were even lucky enough to see dolphins while having breakfast in the garden. Vasilichis, the host, was always available and truly passionate about hosting. When my little sister couldn't find flippers that fit her, he went out of his way to find the right size while we were out on a trip. When we returned, the flippers were waiting for us in the garden. The place was spotless and even better than the pictures. Our dog also had an amazing time enjoying the large, well-maintained garden. I highly recommend booking this place — you won't regret it!

Beautiful place to stay. Owners were very attentive.

Love the place!! It was just so peaceful

We had a lovely stay at Brankas cute little Beach House! Super beautiful surrounding, nice view and dreamy sunsets. Branka was super nice and helpful. She and her parents were always available in case of questions or problems. Thank you Mama Branka, Papa Branka and of course thanks to you Branka for your hospitality!!!

it's a great stay we had at Jerko's! We were able to connect with him and his wife over a great dinner. it's a real Jerko personality and just the evening to chat with him is worth the rental of his cottage! the pool is private and the place is amazing for relaxing. 1 hour of split and from the airport we highly recommend opur those who love authenticity, countryside and meeting the locals. we'll be back again!

If you’re considering staying on this little island, don’t hesitate—just book it! Our experience was absolutely wonderful and far exceeded our expectations. Waking up each morning to the sound of cicadas, walking through the olive trees, and stepping straight into the sea was pure magic—utter tranquility. From check-in to check-out, Visnja and Magdalena were incredibly helpful and responsive, making everything seamless. The little house itself is beautifully designed, with every detail thoughtfully considered with very cute interior. We spent our days snorkeling in the clear water and our evenings grilling and dining. The outdoor sofa seating area was perfect for watching sunsets, and the outdoor shower was an absolute dream. Thank you for a truly unforgettable experience.

We spent two or at times three and 2 dogs wonderful days and were able to take the opportunity to take excursions to the Plitvice Lakes and the Adriatic coast. The river in front of the door also invites you to take small paddle tours to the cozy waterfall upstream. We certainly weren't there the last time and would be happy to come back !

We spent 10 days in February at Konstantinos place, and it was paradise on earth. The appartment on the 1st floor is charming, beds are comfortable and we felt cosy on rainy days. Sunny days turned the place into full fledged heaven, orange and lemon trees in the garden providing snacks, sea adventures with the kayaks at our disposal, walks on the beach to the nearby cafés, trails in the mountains. The place is fabulous.

A heavenly experience. We were so sad to leave

We had a truly lovely stay at this peaceful little riverside cabin. Even though the weather wasn’t on our side, we didn’t mind at all — the house is so cozy, surrounded by nature, with the most calming view of the river. It felt like the perfect place to slow down and recharge. Goran was a fantastic host — super responsive, welcoming, and kind. He even surprised us with a beautiful gift that made our stay feel extra special. The essential oils and spa like details in the home were such a thoughtful touch and added to the relaxing atmosphere inside. All in all, a perfect getaway spot. We’d love to come back, hopefully when the weather is a bit better so we can enjoy the outdoors even more.

A dream. We can only recommend the house and make a clear recommendation. Edin was totally hospitable and communication was perfect. If you want beautiful Bosnian nature and relaxation, this is perfect. We will definitely be back!

Giovannipaolo and Francesca were amazing. They proactively reached out to schedule and help us organize our arrival, complete with map pins and walking directions since addresses in Positano can be confusing! The space was peaceful, private and exactly as described. We loved using the soaking tub and relaxing on the private beach complete with paddle boards and kayaks for exploring the local coves. The 300 (312?) stairs were… a lot at the end of the day but it helped us plan our day a bit more so we could minimize the number of times we hiked up and down them. The privacy and view afforded by the location more than made up for them! We will definitely stay again next time we are in the area!

Dijana has been amazing since before we arrived, as I informed you that we were celebrating Nath's birthday and she offered to make an amazing, homemade, delicious pie! It was a wonderful surprise for Nath! The hut is not even mentioned: very beautiful, well equipped, environment of extreme tranquility and calm! Some dogs visited us and for us it was super fun (we like animals a lot). The hut is extremely easy to access and close to the city, which is great to go to the market to buy whatever you need. We highly recommend to everyone who wants incredible moments!

The place is located in an isolated border town near a fast-flowing river, a great hike into the forest and water activities. The house itself is lovely, a bit old but does the job for a short stay. Joe was very helpful with recommendation and efforts to keep us at ease.

We were very happy to visit here and meet wonderful people who create a friendly atmosphere, and of course the house itself is in excellent condition and has a beautiful view!

What a spot. We loved it. It’s more beautiful than one can see from photos. You can hear the sea lap the shore night. The yoga mats and full kitchen were also favorites. We LOVED sunset at our beach each night or on a walk to the other nearby beaches. It was wonderful. Aliki was a very responsive host with recommendations for hikes and beaches.

It was a perfect house, the house was better than the photos, I had a hard time finding the house at first and I was scared, but Avni helped us right away. The amenities of the house were perfect, we went to the lake, took a walk, took a kayak in the house, sunbathing and had a barbecue. Avni is a very helpful and caring hostess Thanks for everything, Avni, we appreciate you opening your home to us. You thought of everything down to the last detail, the house was more than what it looked like
