Crete Vacation

We traveled to Crete with 4 adults and 4 children aged 5 to 8. The home was brand new and extremely clean. The property managers were extremely nice and met us at the home when we arrived. The pool was wonderful and the views of the ocean, mountains, and sunsets were spectacular. I have no real complaints but just a few notes for future renters. 1. The upstairs and downstairs do not connect to each other and have their own separate entrances. We initially had planed to have all the kids sleep on on the lower level but it was not possible with this setup. 2. The beach across the street is not very nice once you get up close. Although you technically can swim there you will almost certainly want to drive to a better beach. Thankfully there are many others to choose from. 3. The pool deck can get extremely slippery and the kids had several falls. Water shoes on the deck are a good idea for better traction.
