Lovely villa in a beautiful location
The Spot is a gorgeous house in a little town with a beautiful beach. We were a group of 10 (three generations) and the house was spacious, spotless and lovely.
The house: nice modern kitchen, good size bedrooms (A/C only in those upstairs, fans downstairs), big living/dining room, big balcony with comfy furniture and unbelievable sea views, shady terraces with comfy seats and pretty views.
Location: very cute small town with restaurants, a bakery a few feet away (kids walked on their own), pizza place very close by, a great walking path in town, and hiking paths right from the house, minimal traffic, lots of restaurants, grocery stores, fruit stands, etc. A bit of a drive to all the famous locations (1.5 hrs to Split, 2.5 hrs to Dubrovnik, 2 hrs to Krka). Town of Makarska is 40 min away and has lovely restaurants, cute streets and is just a nice place to go for the evening.
Beach: right across a quiet road from the house and absolutely perfect. We just went in our swim suits without even taking towels. Calm, warm and perfectly clean water. Water sports rental right there - paddle boats are great fun and not expensive at all. There are pebbles, so bring water shoes.
Owner: Luka is very easy to work with and very responsive, any small issues or questions that we had were addressed immediately.
Restaurants: We went to two restaurants recommended by Luka and both were incredible. One was Galeb - we had a balcony with perfect views to ourselves and the food/service was amazing. Call at least a day ahead for a reservation. We also went to Konoba Kalalarga in Makarska for a special anniversary dinner with the whole group and had an amazing experience, with family style great food, and a beautiful private room. Highly recommend both places, as well as the pizza place next to the house.
Overall, a great experience - all ten of us, from the six year old to the sixty year olds, enjoyed the house and our vacation very much!
