Beautiful property. Srdana made it all easy. Two great balconies, beautiful views, room to spread out. Sedans also hooked us up with a great car service that we used for the entire trip.
Toronto a wonderful small town and we could be the therE in ten minutes (but not on Saturday morning). You could walk it of young and fit, but a bit too much for us, hence the car service.had a great time, and would highly recommend.

Dear Robert,
I am glad you enjoyed spending time in our house! You were wonderful guests and I hope you will visit us again! Srdana
Alles war perfekt sauber!
Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und immer erreichbar! Das Haus ist für 8 Personen super ausgestattet, inkl. Liegen auf der Terasse!
Die Lage am Meer könnte besser nicht sein!
Für uns war es ein nahezu perfekter Urlaub!
Vårt intryck av bostaden är klart positiv. Mycket fin altan, mysig trädgård. Rent och snyggt. Bra med både handdukar och sänglinne. Övrig utrustning helt OK. Saknade möjligen Luftkonditionering i bottenvåningen, mest i sovrummet.
Härlig grillplats. Kan rekommendera boendet och platsen.

Superb location right by the sea with plenty of shade to sit and relax and eat outside or inside.
We had a week here and spent it swimming, reading,eating & drinking.Everyone we met was friendly. You have to walk uphill to the shops and restaurants which are about 10 mins away (we treated it as our daily exercise) but it is down hill on the way back. Getting the car in and out was exciting as the roads are VERY narrow but we managed 2 day trips out ( rafting and a national park).
Lovely scenery to walk around and look at and you are right at the edge of the sea we had a great week.

Tolle Lage
Lage ist wirklich sehr gut direkt am Meer
Einziger Abzug war die Baustelle nebenan (Neubau eines Hauses) und ein unangenehmer Geruch aus den baderäumen(Toiletten und Abfluss)
Ansonsten ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Geschäft 10 min Gehweg für Frühstücksbrötchen und einkauf.
Restaurant in 100m.
Eine Herausforderung ist die Zufahrt zum Haus. Sehr eng für größere Fahrzeuge.

Wonderful family vacation by the sea!
We stayed at this wonderful property with our family. The house is exactly as described in text and photos. The thing we liked the most is the feeling of spending the days practically on the beach, but still secluded and hidden under the shade of pines and in the privacy of large garden. The entire property is perfect for families with small children, our children were spending the most of the days on the beach while we could watch them from the garden. The shops, bakery and pubs are on the easy walking distance to the centre of village Okrug where there are some nice restaurants also. The owner Srdana is a perfect host, gave us exact instructions on everything we needed and helped in arranging transportation as well.
We would love to come back again and share this experience with our friends!

Nice home but disappointing access to restaurants and shops.
The house and it's location near a beautiful beach were lovely, and the host was sweet. We were very disappointed to find major construction going on next door (cement mixer, drills, dust) and our host did not warn us before arrival. The noise and lack of privacy impacted our enjoyment of the property, so be sure to ask about construction before you book this home.
The walk to stores and restaurants is up a steep hill on a very narrow street with traffic and no sidewalk or shoulder, and we didn't feel safe. We expected to be able to walk to meals and shopping and didn't have a car so we felt stranded.

Dear Linda,
unfortunatly we cannot influence on neighbor situations such as construction since they are allowed in low season periods. Otherwise, location of the house is on completely silent surrounding which provides the guests full tranquility. As for the narrow streets you mentioned, it is like that on all the islands around Croatia due to the low traffic. Anyhow, I hope you had nice vacation in Croatia and I'm you were our guests!

Dream vacation by the beach
What we loved the most was the fact that the beach and the sea is practically beyond the stone wall at the end of the garden. We were spending the entire days in bathing suits, relaxing in the hammocks under the pine trees and enjoying the various parts of the garden. The house is just as described, perfectly clean and comfortable. Srdana couldn't have been more welcoming as a host, she waited our arrival and then she left us to enjoy the house just for ourselves. Overall, perfect vacation!

wonderful house directly situated at the sea
the property was clean and well maintained and absolutely met our expectations also in light of the description and photos.The ownerin provided excellent customer service, we really felt very comfortable. The beach nearby is a beautiful stone beach, we liked it very much, also shops and good restaurants could be found in walking distance. We also enjoyed that the location was individual and quiet. We would recommend the property also to friends.

Relaxation
I have just returned from Villa Adriatic and can't stop daydreaming about lazy days looking out to sea from the sundrenched terrace, afternoons drifting in and out of sleep in the perfectly positioned shade of the hammock, or evenings watching the sunset across the boat strewn horizon...
The villa itself met all our needs, it was clean, comfortable perfectly tucked away down a winding road, but it is the outside space that made it quite so special for me. If you are looking for a place to relax and escape the world then this really is the perfect place. I visited for a week in July - following an earlier excursion up the coast for a festival - with 6 friends, all in our early 30s. I think initially Srdana (the lovely owner) was concerned that we might get bored in this quiet coastal spot but I don't think she could have been more wrong. We filled our days lazily, moving between garden and the crystal blue sea, and back again. Evenings were spent on the terrace, under the twisting grape filled , enjoying the local wine and cooking on the villa's outside bbq/oven. We only left the villa a handful of times for trips by boat to the narrow streets and laid-back squares of near-by Trogir (well worth a visit) and one blisteringly hot day in Split (a beautiful city but perhaps best saved for cooler climes).
In short I could have easily stayed here for days on end and am already looking back with nostalgia on the week.
If I had to give any tips/advice for future guests then...
1) Forget spending time in Okrug Gornji – and don't let the drive-in through this touristy line of coast disappoint you - once you get to the villa you barely need to leave.
2) You don't need a car. The walk up the hill to the supermarket is a bit of a hike - and I wouldn't recommend it with small children - but with a bit of meal coordination you can limit your trips.
3) Do buy the local wine. 5 litre cartoons of lovely light red wine (perfect for the heat), for £6 you can't really go wrong.
4) Buy a lilo. If you don't you'll spend the week coveting your friends - and their sea salt-induced tan.
5) Look out for Boris the Slovenian pilot, sporting a fetching a pair of red speedos and the owner of a small yellow speed boat. My friend propositioned him for a ride on his inflatable doughnut and swiftly made a new friend who made it his personal mission to make this the fastest doughnut ride ever.

Dear Gemma!
Thank you for your lovely and in-depth review.
Your comments encourage me even more to continue my work with joy and enthusiasm.
My goal is to make our house cozy and relaxing for my guests as much as possible, so I'm glad that a group of young people enjoyed it so much!
Kind regards!

A Beautiful Place!!!
We stayed at the Zelic house with family - eight people in total. We found the house and the surrounding area truly relaxing and beautiful, close to the sea, Trogir, local restaurants, markets and other sights. Although we had originally intended on using the house as our base and traveling to see sights from here, we found that once we saw the house and the proximity to the sea we did not move far from here. We loved going into Ogrug to shop daily and enjoyed the bakery, restaurants/pubs easily within walking distance. The promenade directly in front of the house provided us with opportunity to walk along the beautiful seashore nightly. The owner made us feel right at home and provided us with excellent instructions and information to make our stay fabulous!
We would love to come again!

Eine sehr schöne Woche in tadelloser Umgebung
Wir waren für eine Woche zu acht Gast in diesen sehr schönen Haus.
Die unmittelbare Lage direkt am Strand und dennoch sehr ruhig, macht dieses Angebot zu einem absoluten Höhepunkt.
Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist einwandfrei.
Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind zu Fuß gut zu erreichen.
Sollten wir wieder einmal in dieser Region eine Übernachtung benötigen, dann werden wir mit Sicherheit wieder hier her kommen.

A lovely house and a wonderful owner
Everything Srdana has put in the description is correct, but does not do it justice! The house and the location are fantastic. The beach is right at the bottom of the garden and so tempting that we went swimming at 11:30 at night. The house itself is kept to a high standard and is very clean. Trogir is a great place to visit and easy to get to using the water taxi. Facilities in the nearby town are very good and are easily accessed a short walk away.. We had to see a doctor and she came out to the house within a couple of hours and was most helpful. 3 teenage children loved it too!
Srdana is a great host, and is very helpful.

Private, quiet - but near town.
Yes, everything was clean, well-maintained, and the info is accurate. The house is in a lovely location, easy to walk to a small town - with grocery store, pizzeria, cafes. It's easy to get to the mainland, so it has the advantages of being on an island without the disadvantages. There's a ferry to Split, or it's an easy drive. Trogir is beautiful - Split, too. Unfortunately, we had lots of rain and wind during our stay, but the house is right in front of the beach, (pebble) and you can walk easily along the coast. The roads in the settlement are tiny - beware!
We loved having the house and garden to ourselves. It's quiet, and private, and sunsets and sunrises on the patio are beautiful. Very peaceful - nicer (I think) than any place else we saw along the coast! The stone building is a little more historical than much of the new construction, but with all conveniences. And Srdjana is very nice - we would have enjoyed spending more time with her!
