Family Holidays in Croatia: Accommodation Without Unpleasant Surprises
What families should check regarding beds, the kitchen, safety and location.

The number of guests is not enough information. Check the bed arrangement, bedroom privacy, number of bathrooms and whether an extra bed is suitable for the child’s age.
Practical features before decorative ones
A kitchen, washing machine, shade on the terrace and safe access to the property are often more important than decorative amenities. When you need a cot or high chair, ask for confirmation that it will be available for your dates.
The right micro-location for families
Check the route to the beach, shop and doctor on the map. Tell the owner the children’s ages and any special requirements in advance so they can confirm whether the specific unit is suitable for your family.
