The Captain's House 6 km from a sandy beach with heated pool and sea views

The Captains House was everything and more than we could have wished for. Communication with Nickolina was excellent and a great recommendation for a local restaurant, the location was perfect and so peaceful with everything you would need for a relaxing holiday. We felt completely at home and can’t recommend this villa highly enough.

We were disappointed with our stay at the holiday home and ended up leaving after just two days because we didn’t feel comfortable staying there. The overall condition of the house didn’t meet the advertised standards. It wasn’t very clean, and there was a musty smell in the cramped rooms. What is more, some of the lights only worked with English plug sockets, which was inconvenient. While the photos online weren’t entirely false, they were definitely misleading—everything appeared much larger in the pictures. The rent is also far too high compared to other, better-equipped, and well-maintained properties that cost less. It feels like a bit of a rip-off. On the plus side, the agency representative was very friendly and helpful.

We loved our stay at the Captains House. The host Nikolina was so accomodating and really lovely to deal with. The house is in a stunning location and we hope to visit again soon.

Really amazing location and views, some great activities nearby, highly recommend.

We stayed here at the beginning of May, 4 adults and a 6 year old. Communication with Nikolina was superb from our initial enquiry through to arrival, nothing was too much effort. Even when we couldn’t get the TV to work she came over that evening to assist. We hired a car and visited many places locally, Split, Brela, the local town of Omiš and drove to Dubrovnik, which was stunning. You need a vehicle for this property as you are unable to walk to any local amenities. There is some building work taking place in the road that this property is situated on, (4 or 5 properties being built) which started around 6.30am!!, so something to be aware of…. (But understand that they can’t build during the main summer months, so it’s only if you are there out of season) We would certainly return as the property had everything we required, a fantastic local Restaurant in the neighbouring village and our host was very attentive.

Everything is perfect

The Captain's House is perched high up on the mountain a few kilometres from Omis, at the end of a gravel road. It is peaceful with a fantastic view over the mountains with an old fortress, the sea and across to a couple of the Dalmatian islands. The pool is perfect for getting out of the sun, and there are a couple of terraces to sit and read, eat and play cards. There was even a friendly tortoise in the garden. The house itself has plenty of space, air connection, and wifi (although this doesn't reach all over the house). There is a smallish kitchen, but it is well-equipped. The air con worked wonderfully, for which we were very grateful. Nikolina, the contact person could not have been more helpful and really went the extra mile. As the day we were arriving was a national holiday with the shops shut, she contacted us and offered to get some shopping in for us for when we got there. When the supermarkets had run out of bread, she baked some herself. She was so helpful throughout, warning us about another national holiday. Great location, but you need a car, preferably one with some oomph to get up the mountain roads. We would definitely consider coming back.

Nearly perfect

The property was very nice, everything from the listing and more! The location was a short drive from Omis, sandy beaches, restaurants, and markets. The property manager was extremely helpful and very kind. The views were amazing. Every time we visit Croatia we never want to leave - beautiful country!

Great location with great views. Very comfortable house - very well equipped with everything you need to make a super holiday. Nikolina greeted us and showed us around and was available at any time if we had a problem. Thank you - we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Captain's House.
