You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sunny side Beach house

Nestled in the serene Picena Bay, just a stone's throw from Vela Luka town on Korcula Island, lies an idyllic beach house that promises the ultimate holiday escape for you, your family and friends. You'll be charmed by the picturesque stairs leading from the house down to the private sunbeds on the beach, where you can bask in the sun's warmth and order a coffee, beer or dinner from the small beach bar in the afternoon. The beach house also boasts its own boat mooring, giving you the freedom to explore the azure waters of the bay at your leisure.

Inside, the house is a blend of modern-day style and romantic Mediterranean details, evoking a sense of the wonderful surrounding and its breathtaking sunsets. With the capacity to sleep up to six people, the beach house comprises three separate bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. All bedrooms feature cozy double beds for two. The spacious living room comes complete with Sat TV and a dining area, perfect for leisurely meals with your loved ones. From the living room, you can step out onto the terrace with chairs and revel in the stunning sea view. It's a place where you'll undoubtedly spend your mornings watching the sun rise over the sea and basking in the tranquil surroundings. The beach house is also equipped with air conditioning to keep you cool on hot summer days.

Descend the stairs from the beach with a concrete plateau and plunge into the turquoise-colored sea directly from the footsteps of your house! And if you're feeling adventurous, why not go kayaking? Kayak rental is available at the property, free of charge for our guests. With privacy, peacefulness and serenity guaranteed, this beach house is the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the simple pleasures of sun, sea and sand.


BEACH
An exclusive private sunbathing experience awaits you on the first beach located directly under the vacation house. Here you will have your own dedicated deck chairs and umbrellas, offering the ultimate relaxation and comfort under the warm Mediterranean sun. Enjoy the sound of the waves, soak up the sun and immerse yourself in the stunning natural surroundings.

Just steps away from your vacation house lies the first of many pebble beaches, which while public, is often less crowded than other beaches in the area. For those looking to explore the crystal-clear waters, kayaks and small boats are available to rent (be sure to ask your host about it).

But that's not all. The surrounding area boasts multiple bays with unique beaches, offering an array of different experiences for beachgoers. From the pebble beaches near the house to the stony shores and even sandy beaches on the other side of the island, there's something for everyone.

If you're a pebble beach enthusiast, you won't want to miss out on visiting the Proizd island, located in close proximity to your vacation house. A local boat will take you there four times a day from Vela Luka, with the 20-minute ride being well worth it. The island was named the most popular beach in the Adriatic Sea in 2008, and for good reason. With four stunning pebble beaches, including one nudist beach, Proizd island is a must-visit destination for any beach lover

SURROUNDINGS
Nestled in the picturesque Picena bay, just 5 km away from Vela Luka, lies your vacation house - a tranquil heaven away from the hustle and bustle of mass tourism. Unlike other bays in the area, Picena bay boasts a serene and peaceful atmosphere with few tourists, shops or restaurants, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the endless sea and experience the pure bliss of a secluded holiday.

In Vela Luka (10 min drive away) you will find all the amenities you need, from shops to ice cream, post office, local market, bakeries, restaurants, and bars.

And on-site, you'll discover a small, intimate restaurant run by your host and his father. With only 4-5 tables, the restaurant offers a cozy and exclusive dining experience, serving up delectable dishes made exclusively from locally sourced ingredients. While the restaurant is only open for dinner, the wait is well worth it. Be prepared to indulge in perfectly grilled sea bass, lightly grilled local vegetables with herbs, buttered potatoes with just a hint of parsley, and a delightful dessert to end the meal.

As the evening draws to a close, the tranquil ambience of the restaurant, with its discreet lights and the gentle hum of other guests, combined with the stunning view of the sea, makes for the perfect ending to an enjoyable day. Be sure to book your table in advance to secure your spot in this hidden gem.

It is a small quiet restaurant, no music, very quiet, just 5-6 tables, mostly for the guests of two houses.

HOW TO REACH YOUR HOLIDAY HOME
Both Dubrovnik and Split airports are available options for your travel needs.

If you choose Split airport, you can take advantage of the ferry or catamaran services that operate from Split port, which will transport you to Vela Luka on Korcula Island. Once you arrive in Vela Luka, it will only take 10 minutes by car to reach your holiday home. Alternatively, there is a catamaran service that departs from Split port and travels directly to Korcula town. However, please note that if you opt for this option, you will need to allocate an additional 50 minutes of travel time to reach your holiday home.

If you decide to take the catamaran from Dubrovnik, you will arrive in Korcula town, where you will need to arrange a 50-minute taxi ride to reach your accommodation. We would be delighted to assist you with organizing your transportation, should you require it.

  • 28.2 miles (45.5 km) from Korcula Old Town and 25.6 miles (41.1 km) from Palmizana Marina

Relaxing, fun and gorgeous
The location of the accommodation is amazing. The bay is like a big pool and the sunbeds work out perfectly. The town is very close for evening meals, or you can eat at the restaurant on site, or self cater in the accommodations kitchen.

Amazing memories created
The property was clean and hosts amazing, more clear instructions on how to find the property would be good, a bbq and more cooking utensil would be a benifit. We would definitely recommend for others to stay. The meal at the restaurant was amazing and staff great.

A slice of heaven
The beauty of this property exceeded my expectations in every way. When we arrived, it was incredibly peaceful in the afternoon, the water colors and clarity were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced and the scent of pine in the air was intoxicating. I immediately felt that I would have very little desire to leave this place for the next few days. The property was spacious and I especially enjoyed the large covered outdoor space when we weren’t by the water. We had wonderful privacy there and also enjoyed the luxury of reserved area to lounge by the water as part of the rental. Mario and his father Rad greeted us warmly. The quality and simple elegance of the restaurant far exceeded my expectations as well and we enjoyed 3 delicious seafood meals right here at “home” while the sun was setting. It was a little unclear about where to find the home initially and required a slightly unnerving one-car width road to navigate but well worth the effort for this magical location.

Beautiful spot
Nice house overlooking the bay. There is a small restaurant there as well, but it was not yet open for the season. Nice waterside area with palapas and lounge chairs, which we had to ourselves, as well as small private beach, but might’ve shared with one other house at a busier time. We swam and snorkeled and kayaked there (kayaks were provided). Our host Mario was friendly and welcoming; he met us in town when we arrived on the ferry in Vela Luka and we met his friendly father, who told us much about the area and it’s history. Despite some bad weather, we were comfortable, and we could reach Vela Luka in about 5 minutes by car. Altogether a very nice experience.

This was an outstanding find with HomeAway. We fell in love with the property.
I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have a wonderful stay in Vela Luka. Mario is an excellent host and took care of us like we were family. Everything we wanted in a vacation rental.

Beautiful location on a quiet, secluded bay but close enough to pop into town for anything you need.
The onsite restaurant run by Mario and his father is outstanding - easily some of the best food we had in all of our Croatia visit. We would definitely return and Mario was very accommodating to whatever we needed. We even managed to have him get a local masseuse to come to the house to give us massages down by the waterfront one evening before dinner. Great villa / highly recommend!

Noch besser als beim ersten Urlaub
Wir waren das zweite Jahr in Folge bei Mario und haben es wieder nicht bereut - im Gegenteil: Es war noch schöner als im vergangenen Jahr. Der von Mario und seinem Vater erweiterte private Bereich direkt am Wasser für die Gäste des Hauses ist außerordentlich gut gelungen: Großzügig, komfortabel und ruhig (Fotos noch nicht auf Fewo). Vom eigenen großen Steg aus Holz geht es direkt ins klare Wasser. Schwimmen/Schnorcheln bei Sonnenaufgang vor dem Frühstück ist super einfach. Neben den großen Sonnenschirmen geben die großen Schwarzkiefern natürlichen Schatten. Der frische Fisch aus den lokalen Gewässern in Marios Restaurant war wieder ganz ausgezeichnet, ebenso wie der Wein von der Insel und die ruhige Lage direkt am Wasser. Neben Marios tollem Restaurant, ist Selbstversorgung kein Problem. Der Supermarkt (Tommy) und der kleine versteckte Fischmarkt in Vela Luka bieten alles dafür Notwendige. Restaurants im Hafen von Vela Luka bieten ebenfalls gute Alternativen. Ausflüge in die Stadt Korcula (40km Fahrt mit Auto) sind sehr lohnenswert. Fazit: Entspannung und Ruhe pur, bei Bedarf mit hervorrragendem gegrillten lokalen Fisch in schöner Atmosphäre, das Ganze direkt am Meer

Der perfekte Erholungsurlaub
Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen und uns prächtig erholt, das lag zum einen an der wunderschönen Umgebung ( glasklares Wasser ( ab der Nachsaison auch mit vielen Fischen), sehr schöner Ausblick auf die Bucht), als auch an dem schönen Haus. Es ist sehr sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet ( sehr gute Betten und Klimaanlage für einen erholsamen Schlaf, etwas mehr Ausstattung in der Küche wäre noch besser!), von der Terrasse hat man einen phantastischen Blick auf das Meer, nur wenige Meter zum ruhigen `Privatstrand`( die Liegen sind sehr bequem und rückenfreundlich). Unsere erwachsenen Jungs haben die hauseigenen Kanus/Kajaks gerne genutzt. Nach Bela Luka (Fähre, Supermarkt, kleine Restaurants am Hafen) sind es nur ca 10 Fahrminuten, nach Korcula Stadt ( sehr sehr schön, wie Klein- Dubrovnik ca 40 km). Mario, der Vermieter war immer persönlich oder per whats app für uns da, immer bemüht uns den Urlaub so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Sein Vater (Herz und Seele von allem) kocht wunderbar im kleinen, aber feinen Restaurant, sehr sehr idyllisch gelegen und sehr lecker! Wir haben vor wiederzukommen!

Wie im Paradies
Das Haus bietet alles was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub braucht. Das allerbeste ist aber der Privatstrand direkt am Meer. Einfach ein Traum! Zwischen Haus und Meer befindet sich das Restaurant des Vermieters, das nur abends offen hat. Es wird täglich fangfrischer Fisch angeboten in einer sehr relaxten und romantischen Athmosphäre. Die Sonnenuntergänge sind fantastisch. Vielen Dank an Mario und seinen Vater, wir werden noch lange davon zehren....

This was an amazing holiday in a splendid location,with an exceptionally friendly and helpful proprietor,Mario. He did his best to address our needs.There were just two drawbacks,both outside his influence. The first was the cold sea-water, especially after the bora, and the second was the high price of accommodation. The beach and the food in the restaurant were exceptional,though. And the three tortoises living in the garden next to the house were a lovely surprise!

Ferien im Paradies
Die Lage des Objekts ist perfekt für einen super entspannten Urlaub. Wir haben insbesondere das Standup-Paddeln (SUP) an der wunderschönen Küste und rund um die gegenüberliegende Insel Osjak enorm genossen. Die Klarheit und smaragdgrüne Farbe des Wassers und die wunderschönen Uferabschnitte sind ein absoluter Traum. Mario, der Vermieter der beiden Häuschen, ist ein absoluter Schatz und man kann mit jedwedem Problemchen auf ihn zugehen. Die Dinnerabende in seinem Restaurant bleiben in ewiger Erinnerung: ‚Schlemmen mit Top-Aussicht und in netter Gesellschaft‘ war das Motto. Zwei kleine Punkte hätten wir zur Verbesserung anzubringen (das ist jedoch Klagen auf hohem Niveau): etwas mehr Küchenausstattung (z.B. scharfe Rüstmesser, mehr Küchentücher und Putzmaterial, Schere) und grössere Frotteetücher im Bad. Zudem gab es den Grill, welcher in der Ausschreibung erwähnt ist, nicht. Aber wie gesagt: es war ein perfekter Urlaub im Paradies mit einem tollen Gastgeber! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
