Dorothy’s Seaview Apartment

Dorothy’s Seaview Apartment Overview

First Impressions

You know what struck me first about Dorothy’s Seaview Apartment? It’s not actually a hotel at all — it’s this charming apartment rental right on Charaki Beach that feels more like staying at a friend’s place than some sterile accommodation. The moment I walked in, I could see why couples rate this place so highly. There’s something intimate and personal about the whole setup that you just don’t get with big chain properties.

The Perfect Haraki Location

Honestly, the location is pretty much unbeatable — recent guests have been giving it perfect 10s, and I totally get why. You’re literally steps from Charaki Beach, which is this lovely, quieter stretch of coastline that locals seem to prefer over some of the busier Rhodes beaches. The village of Haraki itself is small and authentic, with a few traditional tavernas where you can actually have a conversation without shouting over crowds. Plus, there’s free parking right there, which — trust me — is a huge deal when you’re exploring this part of Rhodes by car.

The Apartment Experience

Dorothy’s Seaview Apartment lives up to its name with those sea views that make you want to linger over morning coffee. The space feels lived-in rather than hotel-sterile, with thoughtful touches that suggest Dorothy actually cares about her guests’ experience. I mean, you’ve got a proper kitchen if you want to grab some local ingredients from the village, but you’re also close enough to those waterfront tavernas when you don’t feel like cooking. The setup works especially well for couples — there’s enough space to spread out but it still feels cozy and romantic.

Beach Life and Beyond

What I love about staying here is how easy it makes exploring this quieter side of Rhodes. Charaki Beach is right there for your morning swim, but you’re also perfectly positioned for day trips to places like Lindos (about 20 minutes south) or the more rugged eastern coastline. The beach itself has this relaxed, local vibe — you’ll see Greek families setting up for the day alongside visitors, and there’s something really authentic about that mix. The water’s crystal clear, and honestly, some days you might have whole stretches of sand pretty much to yourself.

Why Guests Love It

That 8.5 rating really reflects what this place does well — it’s not trying to be something it’s not. Dorothy’s Seaview Apartment gives you that genuine Greek island experience without the tourist trap feeling. Couples especially seem to appreciate the privacy and the romantic setting, plus the fact that you can actually live like a local for a few days. The combination of that perfect beachfront location, the personal touch, and the authentic Haraki village atmosphere creates something special. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even left.

Reviews of Dorothy’s Seaview Apartment

• Renate from Italy – 12 June 2025 (8/10)

  Sehr gute Lage
  
  What could be improved: Das kleine Bad

• Michael from Germany – 1 June 2025 (8/10)

  Die Lage war super. Die Wohnung war sehr ordentlich, sehr sauber und fast perfekt ausgestattet. Die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Getränke (sogar Wein) und Obst waren im Kühlschrank.
  
  What could be improved: Nicht gefallen ist übertrieben, eher hätte ich Verbesserungsvorschläge. Das Bad könnte man etwas aufhübschen, die Duschstange festschrauben. Ein Zimmer war recht stickig, aber es kommt wohl demnächst eine Klimaanlage rein.

• Øivind from Norway – 19 May 2025 (7/10)

  Beliggenhet og utsikt var topp. Sengene var gode
  
  What could be improved: Det var noen feil og mangler men eier prøvde å løse det straks vi nevnte. Det var kraftig byggestøy 4 dager fra riving av vegger og fjerning av fliser fra nabohuset

• Evren from Netherlands – 15 October 2024 (9/10)

  We had a great stay at this apartment! It was exactly as shown in the pictures – nice, clean, and perfectly located right above the beach. The view was amazing, and parking was easy. The host was incredibly nice, even providing extra sunbeds and an umbrella for us. The only small downside was that the bathroom was a bit small and could use some updates, but it didn’t affect our overall experience. Highly recommended!
  
  What could be improved: the middle room has windows that open to another room, but since we only used it for sleeping and the airflow inside the apartment was great, it wasn't a problem for us.

• Esko from Finland – 11 October 2024 (9/10)

  Loistava sijainti, upea merinäköala! 
  
  Mukava pikkukiviranta, jolla omat aurikopedit. Huoneisto kivan kokoinen, kylpyhuone kalusteet kaipaisivat uusimista. Lähellä monta hyvää ruokaravintolaa.
  
  Mukava / joustava vuokraemäntä, suosittelemme!

• Fabrizio from Italy – 8 October 2024 (9/10)

  Posizione molto bella con terrazzo vista spiaggia.
  I proprietari sono sempre stati cordiali e disponibili,persone veramente amabili.
  Ci siamo sentiti come a casa nostra e,se potremo,torneremo sicuramente.

• Vicky from United Kingdom – 28 July 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent view over the bay. Great having the 2 separate bedrooms plus excellent kitchen facilities. Host Maria very welcoming and helpful. Location right in the middle of Haraki with everything you need on the doorstep.

• Sean from Ireland – 10 October 2023 (9/10)

  Location, cleanliness, friendly host

• Yanlong from Germany – 29 August 2023 (7/10)

  The sea view is really good. Even than I still Can't give a higher score
  
  What could be improved: The toilet is not working well, the bathroom has a new shower curtain rod(because the dust from the hole was still on the toilet paper box and the floor, and almost got accused of asking us what it was ）and there is no shower curtain when we check in
