Detached House, private pool, in village 5km from the sea and sandy beach

It was a wonderful stay. Authentic, familiar, relaxing and always helpful tips. The owners are very friendly and the conversations are pleasant! We would love to come back and thank you for this wonderful time!

We stayed with Peter and Debbie for 9 nights in August and cannot recommend them highly enough as kind, accommodating, helpful and generous hosts. They gave us lots of helpful advice, were very tolerant of our inquisitive kids - even taking them out for walks with their dog regularly and were always willing to lend us things to help make our stay and day trips out more comfortable. The house itself is also lovely. Some may find it a little small inside for five people, but the low ceilings only add to the character and there was still seating for five to eat inside and plenty of sleeping space! There is also tons of space outside with two seating areas and lots of room by the pool so it wasn’t a problem for us. The pool is beautiful too! The house is perfectly located for what we were looking for - a short drive from so many fantastic beaches, far enough from the really built up tourist areas of Sunny Beach and Nessebar but still in an area with plenty to do alongside a good mix of local day to day Bulgarian life. We still found a few nice tavernas inland that seemed to be more frequently used by locals with great Bulgarian food, but the beach bars also served great food and drink and mostly had a fab atmosphere. If you’re looking for a holiday close to the beach but away from the large scale tourism and internationa” tourists, with Debbie and Peter onsite to offer help and advice (but never intrude) then this is the place for you. Do not hesitate, book it!

We enjoyed our stay . Location is good and lots of interest within an hours drive Pool is large and very clean. Lovely view of sunset and Swifts dipping and diving Not as private as we expected but it didn’t prove a problem. Clean , tidy and spacious inside . No double bed sadly but effective shower and all amenities you could require

This sort of holiday was not for us. The hosts was aware of this. We was a little further out than we like. No local bus timetable for Marinka. We like having a walk in the evening but not possible here. Had to get a taxi to and from the property every evening. As to the house, we expected our hosts to live next-door, not sharing the same grounds. This isn't clear in the description. Having stairs on the outside also didn't work. Needed a mini fridge upstairs. There is nothing in Marinka, Went burgas every evening and sometimes we took a bus from there to other places like Sozopol which is a must, beautiful place. We struggled to feel welcome at some places in Bulgara, English isn't spoken well by everyone. We tried to make the most of our holiday but will feel cautious in the future to double check the property privacy and location as these our important to us. The hosts Peter and Debbie are great but we like being alone and sometimes felt like we were sharing our holiday. Thankyou to Peyo( taxi driver) as without him we wouldn't of been able to get anywere. Peter did offer to take us places but again not comfortable with this. It's not his job to take the holiday makers places. If your ok sharing your grounds and being isolated by location then this place is for you. Pool is gorgeous, loved being there every day, just the evenings wasn't as expected. Thankyou for us stay, don’t mean to sound harsh just truthful. bbyb.WeWetmaeveninghouse

The property met our requirements for a really memorable holiday- sunshine and huge additional warmth from our kind and knowledgeable hosts, Peter and Debbie. Two weeks gave us chance to explore this interesting country, the property is well sited to access many of lovely old and picturesque coastal towns but was always good to get back to our comfortable base and the lovely pool.

Great house that the photos don't do justice. The swimming pool was great and the location was perfect if you want to explore the black sea coast. But the best bit is the customer service provided by the hostsv who live next door. Great welcome and knowledgeable about the area. Asking if we needed anything before we arrived and let's you borrow speakers and umbrellas for the beach. They even gave my daughter some nail polish. Perfect stay and 11 out of 10 for customer service.

This is such a lovely property and the owners Peter and Debbie are so kind, friendly and helpful in every way. The property itself is basically split into two levels. Upstairs you have the bedrooms and the w/c shower and downstairs you have the kitchen and living area all of which are more than you could need and very clean, but the real gem of the property is the pool area. The pool is huge and surrounded by chairs, loungers and parasols and everything you could possibly want. Peter and Debbie are so friendly, helpful and full of advice such as place’s to eat and visit. We loved Kraymorie, there are some lovely eating places there but we absolutely loved Marinka itself, the people are so friendly and helpful with the language. If you do visit pop into the cafe with the umbrellas and say hello to Gratzi and Nicky the owners from us. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home Peter And Debbie. Big kiss to monty.

A great house and pool, near to lots of amenities and sights. Everything you need is here, and the hosts are very friendly and accommodating. We had a very good stay here, and would definitely recommend it. We found hiring a car us the best way to get around.

If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday, this is the place for you. We stayed there with our children for 2 weeks and enjoyed every day. Peter and Debbie are amazing hosts. The old town and the Harmanite Beach of Sozopol are worth a visit. All in all it was more than perfect for us. We will definitely see each other again.

exceptionally well equipped.ideal location,in a word perfect.
