A Small Villa Made for Exclusivity & Relaxation. 5' Walk To The Beach + WiFi

Situated in a small private olive grove offering total exclusivity, near the resort town of Agios Nikolaos in Crete.

It is essentially a small Villa made with total relaxation in mind. It combines the serenity of a remote place and enjoys close proximity to all amenities.

The property has been renovated in 2016 and has been fully repainted using eco-friendly non toxic paints. Brand new beds, matreses, towels and linen, etc. Also a brand new spacious wardrobe has been installed. A new stove/cooking oven has also been placed.

Comfortably sleeps 4 (1double & 2single) in two rooms and has an additional/optional en-suite room upstairs which has 2 bunkbeds for an additional 2 guests (access through a semi-steep ladder so NOT suitable for limited mobility guests).

It is 5 minutes walk to the beach and 15 minutes walk to the city center.

It has a totally private terrace on which you can enjoy your cocktails in the afternoon and you can even enjoy the sun fully naked :-)

We are Pet friendly, with AirCon (Green Policy applies) and offer exclusive use of the unlimited 24Mb/s WiFi.

Moreover, we are fully licensed owners and our license number as issued by the Greek authorities is 00002602846.

Beautiful Frog Villa
A lovely, small Cretan House with big personality. The patio area is where we all lived for two glorious weeks. The house is on a dirt track which makes the privacy fairly complete. The air conditioning makes sleeping a lot easier. Some of the the local feral cats make their prescence felt and, if you feed a cat once it will demand feeding again. Agios Nikolaos is close enough to walk to but not if the party staying are as ancient as we were. We used the car and ate out most nights. The kitchen, although compact, is perfectly adequate to cook in and breakfasts, lunches and dinners were prepared. The inside and outside toilets and showers, with hot water, are extremely useful and the cold outside shower is fantastic on a hot day. Ore, the owner, is extremely helpful and supplies guests with all the information needed. We had a fabulous time and if we ever go back to Crete, this where we would stay.

Utterly charming
A lovely little house that was prefect for myself and children for our 2 week holiday on Crete. Positioned nicely in between the town with all of the restaurants and shops and the beach just down the hill. We didn't rent a car for the stay except for one day to visit the North East of the island, but did feel as though we really needed it. We took books, lots of books although I spent most of the time admiring the view. It is very quiet, with only occasional music sounds drifting up from the resort down the hill. The Fish restaurant on the first beach was fabulous. We loved the beach further along where the service by the beach staff was also really good. The house itself is described perfectly, 5 star luxury it isn't, but we didn't want that. We had what we needed, everything we needed for cooking (but who wants to cook when there are such good restaurants nearby anyway), the fridge was plenty big enough to keep the beer and wine cold. My kids (13 & 18) loved the roof terrace, and called the outside WC 'a poo with a view'. We were looked after very well by the Aunt and Uncle of Orestis, especially when we managed to lock the key in the upstairs room. (Thank you!) We had daily visits from the lovely dog next door - we named Tarmac, he had a little game of pinching flip flops if they were left out at night, but they were returned. The lovely little cat eventually became our other best friend - who we named Patio. I really appreciated the space around the house itself, the patio and the shade. Space and air with beautiful trees and flowers - gorgeous. A lovely, lovely stay and we we defiantly be coming back. Sorry for the late posting of this review, I have become very laid back since we got back.

Magic
Well if you are looking for a 5⭐️ Hotel this isn't the place for you ! But if you are looking to stay in typical small Greek Villa you have found one of the best!!! The views are to die for. There is a manageable kitchen , now complete with sandwich maker ( which we used to toast bread for breakfast ) used the oven to cook chicken for an evening meal. The outside area is just the best. There is a large table and we used the captains chairs which I found very comfortable. There is a laundry room and an outdoor toilet with a hand shower . So nice to use after the walk home from the beach. There is also the outdoor shower which is a godsend when temperatures hit 46 degrees which it did for us ! Views of the sea and the mountains will stay with me . You can hear dogs barking and cockrills at different times of the day . The walk to the beach took a few minutes over some rough ground then a short walk through a hotel complex. The first beach has lovely restaurants but no sun beds but the sea is amazing. We loved Almiros beach . It was only another 5 minutes round the bay. You could have 2 sun beds and an umbrella for 7 euros and the lady even gave you a bottle of ice cold water each ! The location of Villa Frog has to be the best. So close to supermarkets, bakery and just a little further (no more than 10 min walk) to Agios Nikolaos. There is so much to see and do and over 100 restaurants (most of which overlook the beautiful sea. I think you can gather we had the most wonderful time. Orestis and his family are so kind and helpful, it was so good to know I could contact him if there were any problems which there were none ! Orestis sent very detailed instructions for everything. He even talked to our very Greek taxi driver to give him the final directions. There is a bit of a dirt track road before the drive which taxis refuse to drive on but it is only a 100 yards or so. We would always walk to AN and get a taxi back , I always found it easier to ask to be dropped at the Police station. On our departure Uncle came to take our cases to the police station where we met our taxi. I know this is a long review but I hope it gives a very clear picture of a wonderful place to stay. Thank you Orestis ☀️

Perfect Hideaway
This little villa is small and comfortable. Just perfect for a quiet stay. With a view of the nearby bay, and waking up to the sounds of local chickens, you have the feeling you are in a remote and private sanctuary. Yet it is a mere 5 minute walk from the center of the busy and active Agios Nikolaos, nearby beach, and minutes away from the main highway leading you to all points on the island. The host and his family are gracious and welcoming.

Great and relaxing stay at Frog's House
We really enjoyed our stay at Frog's house! The house is exactly as described, small and simple but relaxing and close to many activities and places to visit. The terrace, with beautiful trees and flowers is perfect, and what a pleasure to have a shower outside :-)! Orestis and Nikolas are great hosts. They warmly welcomed us and their recommendations enabled us to discover beautiful places and great restaurants (Paradosiako ++). The French hotel-club located between the house and the beach may be a bit noisy, depending on the wind, but that will not prevent us from staying there again if we were to visit the region again!

Excellente location
La maison est petite, mais bien équipée, avec climatisation et très bon Wifi. Les extérieurs sont très agréables, et la douche extérieure parfaite, à l'abri des regards. La maison est sur une colline "comme à la campagne" au calme, mais avec une très belle plage de sable fin à 10 minutes à pieds et également à 10 minutes à pieds du centre ville très animé. On entend juste parfois les animations (Françaises...) de l'hotel-club à 200m, mais ça ne dure pas longtemps, heureusement! La location est très bien située pour des excursions proches (belles gorges à Krista à moins de 10 km par exemple). Le propriétaire est très disponible et d'une réactivité exemplaire. Nous y retournerons très probablement!
