Spacious apartment in a quiet location
Overall we enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spacious with views of the sea. There is not much to do in the local area, nearest shop is about 25 minutes walk so a car is essential to get around. It is quiet though. Beds were comfortable. The WiFi signal was variable depending on time of day and location. Staff were very friendly. I had to ask for A dustpan and brush and the free toiletries. Our washing machine didn't work and we told them twice but still no one came to look at it, however they did offer to wash our clothes for us. We didn't use the pool which is too small for swimming but ok for cooling off in. Apartment was reasonably clean . The accommodation would suit a family or anyone who wants to to avoid city centre noise, nearest supermarket is about 10 minutes drive away and there is a Greek restaurant 5 mins walk away.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: spacious appeared to have good facilities clean enough Close to beach and nice restaurant/bar Cons: A few of the lights didn't work Fridge/freezer didn't work kettle was dodgy Ants Dead bugs on the walls Free WiFi didn't work Extremely noisy Only 1/2 toilet roll - took nearly 24hr for them to bring another one Shower doors don't close properly making floor wet and slippery Pool area was okay, but appeared unfinished as there were pipes lying around. Whole area is under construction. The walls were paper thin: could hear talking and the TVs in other rooms, the room below me was especially loud and I could hear it as if it was in my own room.. The images when booking are deceptive. It looks a lot better in the pictures as the are able to hide all the construction work taking place. On arrival, there was half a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom - I assumed there would be more in the cupboard but I checked everywhere and there was none. I messaged the owners asking for some more at 6pm and they finally left me some more around 4pm the next day. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this property; it is definitely not "luxury accomodation" nor 4*. It was extremely noisy which I don't mind during the day, but being able to hear other guests until 1/2am and construction noise at 6/7am definitely impacted on this rating. I previously stayed in a 2* apartment in another part of Croatia which was perfect compared to this. Avoid and save your money.

If you plan to spend time around a construction site, this is place to book. Noisy, apartment dusty due to all construction work around, parking part of the construction arra. Area is beautiful indeed, but would not book apartments there till perhaps next year until it all clears up and construction work is done. Nowhere on their postings do they mention there’s work being done around the property.

Poor check in despite full information about arrival time. The accommodation is in the middle of a building site. From 7am to 6pm non stop notices coming from the buildings site next door. Zero house keeping. Zero soap or shampoo etc. No change of towels or sheets during 4 nights stay. Overall poor poor experience. The fact that accommodation is in the middle of a building site was not disclosed at the time of booking. This amounts to deception and cheating both by the owners and Expedia.

Beautiful sea view ...
Apartment was on the top of building, has a very nice view on the sea, kitchen is very good equipped with gadgets, but some additional bowls, glassware etc. would be useful. Room is nice and space, extra blankets are missing and are must have. Nevertheless, would recommend this place, nice stony and rocky beaches as well as walking trails are nearby.

Great mini break
This trip was a mini break to see the beautiful sites of Croatia. We arrived and were given clear instructions to enter the property. Our room was of good quality and very clean.. Situated just outside of Zadar but only a short drive, we had a hire car so had no problems, unsure of public transport but Ubers were available and reasonably priced. We would definitely return. Looks as if the area the apartments are in is being developed and all looks of a high quality. A city tax is due on departure but only a small amount for a lovely apartment. We wish we could of stayed longer.

Success apartments are spacious and well equipped. As we were out of season we didn't make use of the pool. Quiet surroundings. Car advised. Walkable to the sea. Only has a shower cubicle which is a bit small although the shower itself is good with plenty of hot water.

Nice location, nice sea view from the terrace. Beach a couple of minutes away and can use umbrellas and chairs of the restaurant for free when you order a drink or anything else. A bonus. Old town is 20 minutes away by car and restaurants on the main road or the next two town 2-4 km away and sea front. Apartment was ok except the bathroom: poorly designed making it uncomfortable to use the toilet even for a normal size person. The shower head was defective spraying water all over the place. Being a weekend the manager was off and the substitutes did not speak English so the problem was only resolved when she was made aware of it on Monday. This should not have happened as the problem was obvious for any person doing the apartment maintenance. The fix was as simple as replacing the shower head in a manner of minutes. It is unfortunate that the bathroom situation spoiled the experience as everything else was great including the manager offer to have us use the building washing machine when we asked about laundry options. Overall we enjoyed our stay but may be a different apartment in the building would have been better.

Spectacular private view
Despite some very minor imperfections that may have been resolved if I inquired the property manager,the completely private view from the top floor, room 16, was to die for. It was 100% private and sowe could leave the curtains open the entire stay, waking up to a gorgeous scenic mix of forest and ocean and even more incredible evening view of a private spectacular sunset.

Success luxury apartments are not in zadar. They are about 5 miles outside of the city. However they are very well furnished and very comfortable. We had a 2 bed appt which was pretty large. Kitchen was well equipped. From making the reservation the manager franko was in touch. He arranged to pick us up from the airport and due to the time of day we arrived and no shops open took a shopping list from us. We arrived in April. The season in croatia doesn't really start till May, as such not a lot was open. The one and only bar opened but was not serving food. However the staff at Santorini were very pleasant. Kozino is a new development with lots of apartment blocks set at the side of the sea. It is very picturesque and the local people are very welcoming. However being self catering there is not a substantial shop/market for your needs. You will need a car if you are staying here. The buses are not frequent and no apparent timetable. Zadar itself was a taxi ride away and costs approx 13 pounds each way. Petcarne is the next village along the coast line and is a 30 minute walk. It's a lot busier and has a number of restaurants and a sandy beach.
