I don't know where you going to find a better deal than this? A whole house to yourself, with dazzling sea views, located in the prime location, thirty steps above the swim-able beach (about 25 to 30 yards), with your own patio and yard for the price of an apartment.
The space
Located on the sea in the town of Jelsa, in a pine covered area where the breeze is blowing just right during the summer months. This quaint cottage with one bedroom (with two twin beds) plus a living room with a brand new mattress and frame queen sized bed and twin size sofa-bed, and one bath (with walk-in shower) is the best place to take you away from it all. Relax to the sound and view of the sea, cicadas, birds and breathe the clean air scented by pine, lavender and rosemary. This private three room cottage offers you one of the best locations on the island with a private gated yard, a view of the sea, one bathroom and shower, a kitchen, living area and a large shaded terrace for outdoor dining. There is also an outdoor fireplace for grilling and an outdoor solar shower. The main room opens to a view of the sea and the bedroom has a large window facing the sea. The cottage is less than 30 meters to the sea and a 15 minute walk to the town of Jelsa and a 20 min walk to Vrboska, another fishing village. Many activities await for the outdoor or seafaring enthusiast. You can rent boats, bikes and scooters in Jelsa and there are many tours for sightseeing available. Nightlife is lively during the summer months with concerts and festivals along the port of Jelsa which includes fine dining or pizzerias and several bars and discotheques to choose from. There is a public bus offering transportation to Hvar town daily. Jelsa has the best and most beautiful beaches on the island with lots of sandy coastline for children. There are so many opportunities to explore the many hidden treasures on this island or beyond. It is just a short trip to the southern side of the island via the tunnel near the town of Pitve. Bike and kayak rental available upon request.
Some of our favorite restaurants in and around Jelsa: Napoleon, Konobo Nono (near the main church), U Smokve for vegetarian options & pizza, Hit for cevapcici (grilled meat), Skojic for pizza/seafood in Vrboska, and a must see family-owned restaurant with an amazing view/outdoor dining is Dvor Dubokovic in Pitve, just outside of Jelsa. The town is very quaint and located right before you reach the tunnel to the south side of the island. Enjoy!!
Guest access
Large open terrace with a grill and outdoor table for dining, public park with wide open space and shade directly in front of the property with the sea steps away from your doorstep. Walk along the trail directly on the sea and you will find easy sea entry access from the ladders built into the rocks. Please check with Stipe about parking near the cottage and please let him know when you will be arriving. It is best to notify him once you have boarded the ferry from Split or Dubrovnik. You can choose to arrive via car ferry to Stari Grad or the passenger only ferry arrives to Jelsa once per day in the afternoon. Please note this house is not suitable for the wheel-chair bound or disabled since there are steps from the street that lead up to the house and there is no alternate way to enter.
Other things to note
Please remind Stipe to show you how to operate the keys to the house, stove and water heater upon arrival. Instructions for the washing machine are taped onto it in English.
