Apartments in Croatia for family holidays

If you are going for holidays in Croatia with the whole family and plan to stay more than two weeks, then it is better to rent private apartments or a house.

However, you must carefully choose the suitable apartments in Croatia for your family. You need to start the search in January or February, because the best apartments can be booked long before the season starts. If you would contact the owners, for example, in May or June, the vacant rooms for July and August will be gone.

When choosing the apartments in Croatia for family holidays you should consider the following:

• the number of rooms and beds for adults and children,
• distance from the beach,
• distance from the nearest store,
• remoteness from health center,
• presence of restaurants in vicinity,
• presence of playgrounds and other amusements for your children.

You need to decide which region of Croatia is more suitable for your family holidays. The Adriatic coast is very extended, there are more crowded resorts with large hotels and entertainment facilities, but also, there are quiet and secluded villages with a good selection of private apartments for rent and nice beaches, but poor entertainment. The choice is yours!
