Today there are many websites for renting apartments, I won’t write about everything, but below I will list the most popular ones:

airbnb is the first and by far the largest online resource for renting housing from local residents in 190 countries of the world. There are no hotels here, only apartments, and this is where you can find unusual options daily rental, for example, a house on a tree or in a rock above a cliff.

It is impossible to choose the best apartments in a country or city. There are a lot of options, including many unique offers. Next, I will try to show some excellent options for renting apartments in different parts and cities of Croatia.

Apartments in Croatia (specific examples):

Lighthouse (Pula, Istria). Unique place And unique experience. There is a lighthouse on a peninsula 10 km from Pula; there are no other buildings within a kilometer radius, and there are no people. You can remove the entire lighthouse. Accommodates up to 8 people and the price is reasonable, 130 euros per day.

More photos and detailed description this housing at the link. Your own peninsula, your own beach and your own sea - the first line :)

Yacht (Trogir, South Dalmatia). Croatia is a maritime country, and where else can you rent a yacht not only for a day trip? boat trip, but also for a week’s accommodation and a full-fledged trip to the Adriatic islands. There are a huge number of such options; if you are interested in such a vacation, read a separate article about.

Renting such a yacht is affordable and easy in Croatia. You can rent a cabin or the entire yacht.

Details about these “apartments” and big photo You will find it at the link. If you are looking for accommodation with sea views and on the first line, then this accommodation option fully meets these requirements. 360 degree sea view, but whether there is any other housing closer to the sea than this is a big question.

Tree house (near Dubrovnik). Amazing place in the forest with mountain views. You can spend several days in a real tree house. Well, who didn’t dream of this as a child? And dreams must come true.

Tree house in Croatia

More photos and descriptions of these apartments are available at the link. I’ll say right away that, unlike yachts and catamarans, renting a tree house in Croatia is very difficult, since this is not a typical accommodation option for this country and there are only a few of them in all of Croatia.

Uninhabited island (National Park Kornati, island Croatia). Just imagine, the whole island is yours. There will be no one there except you. They bring you, check you in and the boat sails away. Such accommodation options come across Caribbean but at the price of heroin.

Private island for rent. Only you and the sea.

This accommodation option is ten times cheaper. You won't find such another offer in Croatia. This is Robinson Crusoe's island.

Listed above are just a few unique apartments in Croatia, both on the seashore and inland. In fact, if you carefully study the sites listed above, you can still find housing in the rock, in medieval castle, houseboat, apartments in windmill and many other interesting options.

If you are going on vacation with the whole family and plan to relax for more than two weeks, then you are better off staying in private apartments, of which there are a huge number in Croatia.

However, you need to approach the choice of apartments thoroughly. And you should start your search in January or February, since the most best deals dealt with long before the start of the season. If you contact homeowners, say, in May-June, then free seats there will be no more for July-August.

To find apartments in Croatia suitable for families with children, you need to find out in advance everything about the living conditions:

number of rooms and beds for adults and children,
distance from the beach,
distance to the nearest grocery store,
distance to a first aid station or hospital,
availability of restaurants nearby,
availability of playgrounds and other entertainment for your children.

You also need to decide on the region in which you would like to vacation. The coast of Croatia is very long: there are more crowded resort places With large hotels And entertainment complexes, there are calm and secluded villages with a large selection of apartments and good beaches, but meager entertainment. The choice is yours!

Apartments in Istria

If you have chosen Istria for your holiday, then keep in mind that there is not such a large selection of private apartments, there are more hotels. The beaches are mostly concrete, rocky and pebble, but there are also sandy ones, for example in Medulin. To find housing as close to the sea as possible, you need to contact the owners in advance and make an advance payment of 10-30%, otherwise there will be no vacancies during the season.

Apartments in Central Dalmatia

Apartments in Central Dalmatia are not much more expensive than in Istria, but also require pre-booking and partial prepayment.

For lovers relaxing holiday it is better to choose a region called Makarska Riviera. This is a whole string of small towns, almost entirely consisting of apartments, stretching along the best beaches on the Adriatic coast. The most popular resorts of the Makarska Riviera: Brela, Makarska, Baska Voda, Tucepi, Podgora. It is especially famous for its amazingly beautiful small pebble beaches. resort town Brela. There are no noisy entertainments and major cities, but if you rent a car, you can go on an excursion to Omis, Split, Trogir, Dubrovnik, see Plitvice Lakes and waterfalls on the Krka River.

Trogir and the island of Brac are located closer to Split, which means closer to entertainment, discos, shopping centers, but here you can also relax in the peace of untouched nature. The largest selection of apartments in Trogir, on the island of Ciovo, it simply consists of private apartments and houses for rent, while here best beaches, among which there are sandy ones.

Apartments in Dubrovnik

Those who, in addition to relaxation, would like to see the most famous landmark of Croatia - the city of Dubrovnik, can be advised to choose apartments in the immediate vicinity, as well as in Cavtat or Mlini. From here you can easily reach Dubrovnik in just 15-20 minutes. The cost of living here is higher than in other regions of Croatia, but the proximity of Dubrovnik and the opportunity to visit neighboring islands(Korčula, Mljet, Lopud) are worth it. And excellent small-pebble and sandy beaches, for example, the beaches on the island of Lopud, will delight both children and adults.

Features of booking apartments in Croatia

If you have not booked an apartment on your own before,... For experienced tourists We’ll tell you how Croatian resorts differ from other beach and holiday destinations.
So, if you are renting an apartment in Croatia by the sea, consider the following 2 points.
Firstly, many Croatian towns they go steeply uphill from the sea. Those living on the 1st or 2nd line do not have to walk uphill or climb stairs. That's a plus. There are, of course, resorts where even from the 1st line to the beach you need to go down the stairs. But there are also flat places where you can rent an apartment away from the sea and not bother yourself with steep climbs.
Secondly, we will talk about pine trees. After all, many tourists choose Croatia precisely because of these coniferous trees. So here it is pine trees usually grow on beaches and along the embankments or already higher on the mountains, where the city ends. There are no pine trees in the city itself. Thus, tourists living by the sea enjoy the shade, aroma and picturesque view of centuries-old coniferous giants to the fullest.

How much do the apartments cost?

Why is Croatia so popular among Europeans? Before talking about the price of apartments, I will answer this question.
Really, residents European countries form the basis of the tourist flow in Croatia. The Germans are in first place, then the Slovenians. The third place is occupied by the Italians, who, by the way, have their own Adriatic coast. Next come the Austrians, Poles, Czechs, British and other Eastern and Western Europeans. Russian tourists are not among the top ten in terms of tourist flow. Although Croatia is very popular among our compatriots, especially when it comes to holidays with children. It is more difficult to meet a Russian in Croatia than a German or an Englishman. True, at some resorts there are quite a lot of ours... :)
What are the reasons for the popularity of holidays in Croatia? We identify 3 main reasons:

Special climate. In Croatia, the mountains come close to the sea. Mountain air, mixing with sea air, forms a unique combination. The climate of the Croatian coast is extremely useful for strengthening the immune system and preventing bronchopulmonary diseases.
Untouched nature. On most of the coast there are no industrial enterprises, not even railways. That’s why Croatia has the cleanest air, the cleanest sea—every pebble is visible. Well, the hospitable Croatians themselves monitor the cleanliness of the beaches.
Government policy in the field of tourism. In Croatia, the level of hotel development is lower than in other countries. Focus on development independent tourism, apartment living is encouraged and promoted. A relatively small number of hotels saves Croatian resorts from crowds of vacationers. On the beaches you will find a place at any time.

These advantages make Croatia a popular destination for beach holidays. As a result, prices for beachfront apartments are often higher than in Montenegro, Bulgaria, Greece and even Italy. In June and September, studio apartments for 2-3 people can be rented for 30-40 euros per day. In July and August the price rises to 60-80 euros. If you have a large family or are traveling with friends, then housing costs increase. Two-bedroom apartments will cost around 60-80 euros per night in June and September. In July and August the price will rise to 100-140 euros.
Let me remind you that we are talking about apartments near the sea - 1 or 2 lines. If you rent a house further from the beach, the cost in the high season drops by 1.5 times. Well, as everywhere else, there are pleasant exceptions: when good apartments are rented at a price below the market price. We diligently collect such exceptions. 🙂
