Villa By The Sea/ villa Oleandra w/ breathtaking view between Split & Trogir!

The house is absolutely perfect, with a lovely beach, excellent privacy, and convenient parking. Everything went seamlessly.

I spent three weeks at this fantastic villa overlooking the sea near Split. The house has an impressive architecture with soaring ceilings and large windows to take advantage of the sea views. Everything is modern and clean with a fully equipped kitchen. The beach is just steps away so you can go for a swim anytime you desire. And then you can relax on one of the lounge chairs looking out at the sea, islands and Split in the distance. There is plenty to do in the area including visits to Split, the Roman ruins in Solin, charming Trogir and the seven towns of Kaštela. The owner, Nada, and the local manager were very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this villa!

Perfect place to unwind and relax. Great location with easy access to the sea and a house that has everything you need. We spent two great weeks there and was sad to leave for home:-)

Having just returned from a three week European vacation, my travelling companions and I unanimously agreed this Villa by the Sea was by far our favorite and hated having to leave. Being located between Split and Trogir, it was easy access to almost everything. Being from the US, it had all the modern conveniences we enjoy normally, including screens on the windows which most homes in Europe may not have. Mosquitos can be a problem and in order to enjoy the sounds of the sea and the fresh air without being targeted by those pesky critters, the screens were especially appreciated. The outdoor areas were very comfortable and enjoying a glass of wine and hors d'oeuvres under the overhang of the beautifully tiled porch became a daily coveted activity. The fully equipped kitchen was certainly an unexpected delight with almost every utensil and appliance needed to cook a gourmet meal, and most appreciated was the espresso machine which was put to good use every morning. Sometimes it was a bit challenging to figure out the appliances since buttons and settings were in Croatian but eventually we became adept at learning the basics, accept for the clothes dryer (which is an anomaly in Europe) as we couldn't get it to really dry the clothes. Perhaps it was our not understanding the workings of the dryer so we gave up and hung them outside to dry in the sea breezes. The beds and linens were high quality and comfortable and much appreciated after having spent some prior days in Italy with extremely hard mattresses. We were also grateful for the wonderful showers and ample hot water. This is an amazing home and we would love to come back if we get back to the area again. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed when staying here!! The only issue we had was finding the house from the directions given even with GPS and Google maps. Perhaps a more detailed map would help. Thank you, Nada, for sharing your beautiful home!!

We loved this villa very much, first of all right next to the sea, less people on the beach than anywhere, all the amenities are provided, we didn't need to buy anything extra just food. The villa is in a very good condition, clean and spacious, each room has air conditioner which was very important for us.

I'm posting this review a year late. As the anniversary of my vacation here approaches, I can easily say this was the best vacation I ever took, and I'm not a person who uses superlatives lightly. Our 3 year old daughter (was 2 at the time of our visit) constantly asks to go back to the house by the sea. The pictures of the view do not do it justice. The color of the Adriatic is bright blue matching the blue skies, and the green of the garden and the mountains in the background provide such a stunning contrast. Thanks to the easy access to a secluded beach, I had relaxing, quiet mornings (before my family joined me) wading in the water and taking in the view of Split just after sunrise. I do recommend any visitors bring water shoes/sandals if you have more sensitive feet, even though there are sandy areas depending on the tide. I should note that our daughter had no issue with the pebble beach and in fact absolutely loved it. There are no strong tides or big waves either which made the whole experience feel safe, calm, and very family friendly including for small children. The owner and manager were fantastic to deal with. As other reviewers have noted, the home was extremely well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The airport and hydroplane proximity offered convenience while not sacrificing quietude and calm. Split and Trogir were beautiful places to explore the rare times we decided to leave the home. We hope to be back very soon!

Our stay here was unbelievable! The house was immaculate and provided a level of accommodation that felt both sophisticated and comfortable. The garden was pristine and well manicured. Our children enjoyed playing on the beach that is accessible by stairs from the garden - they spent hours exploring the sea urchins, crabs, and sea snails in the clear water. Lazy afternoons spent in the shade of the veranda put the whole family into a relaxed mood where we were able to reconnect. This was heaven and we hope to return here soon! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We stayed here for just under a week in the beginning of August 2015. We were very happy with the overall experience. Although we were a little concerned about the proximity to the airport, in the end this was not an issue and really did not bother us. The view is stunning with the sea underneath the house and a private entrance onto the beach. It was such a real pleasure to swim every morning before our breakfast - with no one to disturb us. The house itself is very well thought out - extremely comfortable and airy. There is one very large and bright living space. There are only three bedrooms, but all to a high standard with modern equipment. There are plenty of areas to sun bathe around the house, and if it gets too hot, the AC in the house works very well. The kitchen is also well equipped and a pleasure to use. Ideally you would need a car or a scooter - its 4km to Trogir, similar to Kastel, and 18km to Split which is extraordinary and worth a few visits. We liked Kastel as its quite authentic with fewer foreign tourists. Trogir has a good food market and beautiful cathedral and town center. There is a great mix of great sea and historical sites to visit. We would hope to come back again some time.

The first time we stayed at this property in 2012, we thoroughly loved it and resolved to return again someday. This year, we finally got around to it and enjoyed another great week in this truly singular house. It is spacious, well-kept and well-equipped, provides stunning views and is perfect for a family looking for a base to enjoy and explore the beautiful Croatian coast. Since the house is right on the water, you can access the beach any time while enjoying the privacy and comfort of your own property. It was very warm during our stay, and we appreciated the well-functioning air-conditioning very much. It should also be noted that the owner was very helpful and accommodating and took great care to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. Also, the local property manager is very pleasant and provided great help. As long as this property can be rented, it is definitely on our list for a return visit.

We stayed for 14 nights recently and can highly recommend the welcome. Beautiful garden, comfortable terrace, lovely, spotlessly clean, spacious rooms which are nicely decorated with modern furniture. House has everything for our stay with a little girl and our different everyday needs. There are excellent views of Kastela Riviera which is full of interest. Just a 15 min from Trogir (30 min from Split) for an endless choice of historical things, shops, restaurants and bars. Owner’s hospitality and warmth are top class and we would like to thank Nada for a lovely stay in this beautiful part of the world. Owner and house manager are a wonderful source of information for helping us to enjoy our holiday and nothing is too much trouble for them. We are really thankful.
