Exclusive Beach House

We spent a very good vacation and felt very special because the house is very private, you have no neighbours and even your own little beach. Still the house is easily accessible with the car (15 minutes drive from Gavrio). Great views from the terrace and even from the kitchen table inside! The host was very helpful and friendly.

The house was warm and inviting inside with the most spectacular views from the patio. The private beach was amazing. The entire island was a beautiful place to explore with friendly people.

We booked the beach house back in 2019 for my wife and I and our 3 children, but Mr Covid decided to put hold on it for 2years. We finally in August 2022 got there with only 3 of us cause in the 2 years that passed our other 2 children where on their own holidays ?. As regards to the beach absolutely loved it especially snorkeling in sea and using the kayak which our 13yr old boy loved both of which Yannis had left for guest to use, the beach is equipped with sunloungers and a fixed parasol. The house is very spacious and is full of all kinds of usefull items and plenty of cooking / eating utensils.The beds are comfy with plenty of spare sheets and towels provided and all with quiet air conditioning. As for the island we went on a few trips out batsi, Andros and our nearby gavrio all really good places with plenty of eating/ drinking establishments, we always went every couple days to gavrio for supplies and definitely recommend the fresh fish and vegetables store the fish was amazing on the barbecue, slightly got addicted to them ?. Yannis for the passed 2 years was an absolute gent of a guy really helpful ( thanks Yannis) and thanks to Ayet he was the guy who met us at the car hire place and took us to the supermarket and showed us to the house. Overall we'd highly recommend and defo 5 stars ?????

The house is very cosy. It has a wonderful terrace with the best view thinkable. 30 steeps down you reach the 100 meter wide private beach equipped with sun chair’s, a parasol and a 2 person’s kayak. Yannis, the owner of the house is a super host who will do anything possible to make your stay the best. We had a absolute great time in this jewel.

We have fallen in love with Andros and with this house. We’ve rented maybe 35 holiday homes around the Med over the years including around a dozen in Greece, and this is one of the very best. Stunning location, clean, comfortable, well equipped, main bed very comfortable indeed and a great shower which is not always the case in holiday homes. Was it worth the two year wait as originally booked for June 2020? Yes 100%. Is it worth the much commented on steep and bumpy ride to and from the house? Yes 100%, I am actually going to miss it! Yannis is a delight to deal with, communicative, helpful and responsive. Do we intend to return in the future? Yes 100%.

Lovely well equipped home with larger living space than we expected from the photos. Very private & peaceful with stunning views and a great little private beach in a sheltered bay. Yannis was really helpful throughout the stay and the caretaker Ayet met us from the boat and guided us to the property (which was needed as it is very out of the way) Be warned that access is via a very steep bumpy dirt road which really does need a 4x4 and confident driver. It's worth it though for real privacy and a wonderful getaway. The bay was good for swimming with children and spotting fish snorkeling. The kayak and life vests provided we're also great. It was very windy on the island for the last few days - the beach remained sheltered but the balcony was less so. We had an illness in our group whilst there (nothing to do with the property or Greece even) - the local pharmacy and doctor in Gavrio were really helpful and thorough, Yannis also offered us help if we needed it which was appreciated. If you want a quiet place to relax and unwind in the sun you can't do much better.

Just a repeater to this amazing house and location!! Never mind the rough road to the house. The experience every time just gets better! Thank you Yannis!

Yannis is probably the nicest host I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with while renting – really great feeling from beginning to end. The house and especially the location are just incredible. Lots of personal touches that make it feel welcoming, but not too much that it's smoothering. You have everything you need to be comfortable, and cook, etc. The drive in is rough and requires at least a small SUV, but it's nothing that can't be handled – and the good thing is that there's essentially no reason to leave the house accept for occasional supplies at the grocery in Gavros. We'll be back soon I hope :)

Really lovely traditional house with lots of outside space. Great views including wonderful sunsets. Quite remote. Which we loved. Although the port of Gavrio is not far away the drive on the dirt tracks is a bit daunting at first, but we got used to it very quickly. Yannis, the owner, is super helpful. The best thing about it is the private beach. Just absolutely glorious. Such a privilege to have that all to ourselves.

The Ioannis holiday home is one of a kind. It is not a sterile accommodation designed for tourists, but a house used by the owner himself, which is furnished with a lot of taste and love and where you immediately feel at home. Already before our arrival, Ioannis provided us with detailed and helpful information about the house, the island and the means of transport, which we could make good use of for our travel planning. A friend of Yannis picked us up from the ferry, guided us to the house via supermarket and bakery in Gavrio and gave us a briefing about the house. The communication with our host was excellent. Even information, which could deter guests possibly (2 km dirt road on the way to the house), was openly communicated, so we could rely on finding everything as described. Ioannis even considered some extra wishes on our part. We rented the house in the second half of October for 18 days as a location for exploring the island of Andros on foot and by car. At the end of an eventful day, we were always happy to come home, take a short swim in the sea (really comfortable thanks to the private beach) and enjoy the view to the sea with a sundowner on the terrace, paradisiacal peace guaranteed! Entertainment was also secured thanks to WLAN and Bluetooth speaker. Since some taverns already close in October, we cooked a lot, which was a pleasure thanks to the very well equipped kitchen. Overall, we were completely satisfied.
