    It is a nice house with a sea view. The beach is just a couple of minutes away. The apartment was clean and had everything you need, even a washing machine. There are no restaurants within walking distance, but you can get there by car in 7 minutes

    The location was offbeat with a beautiful calm beach. The house was very neat and comfy, It had everything we needed. The host was very sweet and for any help she was just a text away. She responds very quickly. Loved her hospitality and everything about our stay. Highly recommend this stay even though it's away from the main cities, taking a vehicle and going around the island was very convenient and comfortable with amazing views throughout the drive.

    What DIDNT I like? Gosh where to begin?? So first of all, I’d love to give a big thank you to Anna for being so polite and considerate with her communication with our stay here. She was absolutely sweet and so were her staff. About the property, it’s absolutely gorgeous. It has a very modern yet rustic aesthetic and everything was perfect. The pictures aren’t always clear as when I booked the apartment I thought the kitchen and living area was shared with other people, but turns out everything is private for your stay only which was great! within your apartment you get a whole kitchen, a kitchenette, a bathroom, two bedrooms (for the bottom left bigger room) and a big living room with a view of the sea, as well as a personal hot tub. It was fantastic, everything worked, and everything you could possibly need was there. Having the view of the sea right outside the apartment was wonderful, very peaceful, and it really made up for the misfortune I had with the rain during my stay! The pictures are exactly like what the property looks like, but it looks far better in person in my opinion. I also had a nice treat of cake when I returned to the apartment after it was cleaned. There was enough storage, a washing machine, the weather is warm enough this time of the year to be able to dry your clothes for you in the clothing rack outside which was useful after using the hot tub! There hot tub is cleaned every morning, so I’d recommend using it in the morning as by the afternoon and night there can be some bugs that get in (my only suggestion for this is to actually give a hot tub cover after cleaning the tub so bugs don’t get in before using it), they do provide a scoop to remove any debris though, and otherwise it’s alright. Theres also a swing seat outside too which was lovely to sit in and take in the fresh air of the sea. As you can see my review is all positive and extremely long, but it’s only so long because I love it!

    Honestly, we enjoyed every moment, and everything was just perfect. As a side note, for a holiday in this type of location, I can't imagine having a good rest without hiring a car. We were prepared for this and booked one in advance, which I highly recommend to anyone considering staying in apartments that are not close to the city. Also, keep in mind that the weather on the island can be extremely windy at times - this has nothing to do with the property, but it's something to take into consideration.

    I had to contact Booking.com customer support to unblock my ability to leave a review, that's how much I wanted to share my experience with this stay! It was absolutely wonderful - amazing and super-duper in every way. The location is great, and the villa is just lovely, but what stood out the most was the exceptional hospitality. The owners are incredibly thoughtful, and we could truly feel how much they cared about making sure we had a fantastic holiday. They responded to all our requests promptly and made us feel so welcome. We are incredibly grateful for this. Honestly, it was the best stay I’ve had in all my travels so far.

    Everything was perfect. We had the smallest of the 3 units which is ideal for a couple. The apartment is light, spacious,very clean (cleaned every 2 days), the bed is comfortable, kitchen fully equipped and AC works perfectly. The terrace is great, too, you can see an amazing sunrise, hear the waves and watch the sea. The location was exactly what we were looking for - completely off the masses and very calm but easily accessible by car. What I especial want to point out is the dedication and warmth of the host, Anna. From the moment we booked, she provided us with useful information to make our stay in Santorini perfect. She has always been very responsive, helpful and is really dedicated to making us feel comfortable. Upon arrival, snacks and breakfast, a bottle of wine and water were waiting for us in the apartment and throughout our stay she even surprised us with some homemade sweets. Thanks, Anna, for making our vacation in Santorini simply perfect!

    This beach house is like a home away from home. The house is very close to the beach, away from crowds, it’s just amazing. There’s everything needed to fully equipped including, oven, stove, dish washer and food containers, washer for clothes, hair dyer, iron, ironing board, Landry clips and food sealers/ clips. Our host Anna is so hospitable, she made sure we were not only comfortable but would love to have an excellent stay and memories, and she did. She welcomed us with a tray of goodies, biscuits, jams, drinking water and a bottle of Santorini wine. She will come with home baked cakes , so delicious, yum yum. Also there’s a jacuzzi working properly in the property we booked. The property looks exactly as photos seen in booking.com, but the experience is going to be unforgettable.

    Nothing. We really loved everything it had to offer.

    The location was stunning, amazing views of the sea, peaceful yet just a short drive to Fira, Oia etc. Facilities were great, everything you need- a home from home. Our teenagers loved it - which is saying something! Great Wifi and access to Netflix with plenty of space for everyone. The terrace was fabulous and our son enjoyed the hot tub. Beds were really comfortable and Anna was great at communicating and support us before and during the stay. Dishwasher was a major plus too! Beach a stones throw with a small taverna. No one wanted to leave. The housekeeper was lovely and often brought us cake and pastries in the morning which were delicious! Highly recommend

    Amazing week spent at Sonus Beach Apartments! Anna took such great care of us, even surprising us with breakfast on a couple of mornings. Although we didn't get to meet Yota, she was always prompt to reply to any queries via WhatsApp and to provide recommendations. Apartments are beautifully located in a quieter area of the island. Very high level of cleanliness, with apartments being cleaned every two days.

    Didn't like the fact we were only there for a week, could have happily stayed a lot longer!

    We really enjoyed our stay at Sonus Mare, especially the sea views from our patio. We were very well looked after during our stay, the apartment was cleaned regularly including being given fresh towels every couple of days. Picking up the keys was easy, and found a welcome basket including other treats in the fridge. Not to mention Keti spoiling us with a delicious cake on the day of my birthday. As others have pointed out, this is a great and secluded place and you definitely need your own transport to be able to freely move around the island.

    Nothing! It was perfect, just what our small family required.

    The property was lovely; well located but you will need a car to travel to and from. Very local to the airport so after collecting our rental arrived at the property within 10 mins max. 10 mins to Fira and 15 mins to Oia (by car) and easy to get to following Google maps. One of the best views of any property I have ever stayed in (we were in the ground floor left door property which does not have access to the jacuzzi so book the next door property if you want a jacuzzi). The sunrise is sublime in the morning! The facilities were excellent: great cooker, living space, bedroom and bathroom. They think of every little detail for you, brilliant! They were so generous and left little start up food package: tea, coffee, eggs, bread, ham & cheese etc which was so handy arriving with a toddler. The view from the living room and outside on the patio both are wonderful with an undisturbed view of the sea. The bathroom was 5 star! Beautiful rain shower, very spacious and they provide toiletries such as shower gels, mini tooth paste and brush, soaps etc which was a nice touch. Provided extra towels and sensitive skin baby shower gel when they realised we had a young child. Very covid friendly clean apartment. Honestly the host and cleaner were so friendly they could not do enough for you! They were fabulous. Induction hob cooker and great oven. Adequate fridge/freezer for all of your shopping supplies. Netflix TV in the living room for movies in the evening when baby was asleep. Or perhaps star watching on the patio! Bedroom wardrobe was nice, lots of space. Bed was quite firm as it seems new, much like the whole property. The cleaner was so friendly, kind and would do anything for you. Always smiling and making you feel welcome. Great response time if you have any questions through WhatsApp they are quick to reply. Thank you for an amazing stay and unforgettable views of the sea and sunrise. We will definitely return and next time for the jacuzzi apartment!
