Vila Jelena - Apartment for 4 to 5 persons in Sv Filip i Jakov

It was okay.

The owner is a lovely woman, and she welcomed me, my wife, and our 7-month-old baby warmly. It's a classic seaside apartment with a shower, kitchen, and fridge. We didn't need extras, just a place to relax close to the beach. There's secure parking.

The host was consistently kind, friendly, and helpful, and the property itself is charming and very well kept from the outside. It's a great base for staying in the lovely village of Sveti Filip i Jakov, with the sea nearby and easy access to the lively center. The rooms have the essentials, though they're quite small and that makes some everyday tasks awkward. If you can work around that, it's a minor issue. A very good place to stay.

Villa Jelena is a large three-floor villa, with rooms for two or three, a big apartment for eight, and two spacious suites. There's a barbecue and sitting area outside, plus a small terrace upstairs, and every room has a balcony. Air conditioning and an in-room safe are included, and the prices are reasonable. The owner is attentive and very kind. The beach is around 100 meters away. Parking can be hard to get, since the whole villa has only three or four spaces. I highly recommend it.
