My husband, my 13-year-old son, the puppy and I. Location 20' drive from Heraklion Airport. Arriving after midnight we took a €40 taxi (equal figure). Excellent location, on the beach equipped; 1 umbrella 3 beds €12, discounted at 10% x Mike's customers. The discount also applies to x the Captain restaurant and x the market which are in the same structure. Very friendly managers. Essential but well equipped monolocale, daily cleaning with even a change of sheets and napkins in the middle of the week recommended.

Okay, what's up?

I stayed in this facility for (my luck) only 5 days with my partner and my three children aged 5, 3 and 1 years. The apartment is cheap but not worth even that little. The kitchen is old, rather dirty, the pens are to say nothing in a state of decomposition, the plates (2!), dirty. Practically impossible to cook given the hygienic conditions and the lack of a kettle. I had opted for an apartment just to cook with my children but I gave up. The hot water was often lacking and the shower tent was so short that it was impossible not to flush the bathroom every time. On my small balcony there was a table with 3 large chairs (for a shade from 4) on the seats that seemed impossible to cook on a flat that I had not even received the calf. So I moved to the living room without a toilet paper, so it was almost impossible to clean the toilet paper, so it was almost impossible to clean the room without a toilet paper, so I moved to the living room without a toilet paper, so I booked a toilet paper, and then moved to the living room without a toilet paper, so it was

Unfairness

Booked 3 nights in a "Superior Studio with Sea View". Arrived, shown room and both my partner and I agreed it was not as described and asked for another room but told Dirty Mikes was full, so we left. Stayed elsewhere. Dirty Mikes Beach apartments are not on the beach but set back behind a noisy restaurant. The photos of Dirty Mikes are taken by someone in the sea with the sea and beach in foreground. The sea view was NOT a sea view but an obscured side seaview overlooking Dirty Mikes yard. The wasn't "superior" rather "Inferior" would be a better description. The sheets and pillows were stained and torn. There was no mattress or pillow protectors (yuck). The fridge was dirty and hadn't been cleaned or moved in years. The kitchen cupboards were old and hanging off the cabinets and hadnt been cleaned in a long time.The furniture was old and tatty. The light over the sink was dangerous with exposed wiring. The Taps and tiles in the bathroom hadn't been cleaned in ages. The toilet seat was broken with only one hinge. Its really horrible and disgusting. I didn't seem that Dirty Mike was interested - he seems more concerned with grabbing your money and lurking in the gloomy sad shop beneath his scummy apartments. Go elsewhere, this place is a real dump worth about 15 Euro a night no more

Dirty Mike's Road Apartments & Dirty Studios

It's the first time I've stayed here and it's was awesome. Very relaxing and I sleept like a baby for the entire week. Nice clean spacious room with big balcony. At the en end of the building its a supermarket that's runs by the very friendly owner Mike and helds everything you need for good prices. About 60 meters from the apartment it's a nice beach with  taverna in the front with good food. I will definitely come back and I warmly recommend Mike's place.
The only thing that's missing now it's that Sweden beats Switzerland tonight in the world championships in hockey☺️

Mike's place is the place to stay 

Come on...25/30 euros for a complete studio, right on the beach, what more could you ask for?
Much quieter than Hersonissos or Malia centers, but surrounded by enough shops and taverns if you don't feel like moving.
A car rental is a good idea if you wish to visit the area. Mike welcomes you friendly and warmly, and provides kindly what may be missing in the appartements. 

What more do you need?

We opted for an apartment rather than a hotel because for our first stay in Crete we really enjoyed the small terrace with sea view and the proximity to the beach and the nearby restaurants. Mike answered our emails before departure and welcomed us warmly when we arrived, although late (21h45). The discovery of the apartment was not a bad surprise, for the time we were going to spend there it was very convenient. We really enjoyed the small terrace with night view and the proximity to the beach and the nearby restaurants. The place was clean and the advantage was also that there is a small supermarket held by Mike, for the products of 1 yard but you will also find there maps and reminders. The more interesting windows are there are that they are not too expensive to use in the city, and if you want to rent a supermarket, you can also rent a supermarket, which is very convenient. We have a lot of things to do in the city, and if you want to rent a supermarket, Mike and Jonas will be able to rent a supermarket, which is very convenient.

10 days in a couple

We stayed there last summer and since then I've been struggling what to say about the accommodation. It has its good and its bad sides. The owner is so nice and helpful that you feel guilty if you say something bad about this place, but...First, it's close to the beach, so that's good. The rooms are spacious, beds comfortable and big, unlike most in Greece, the cleaning lady comes every couple of days to change the towels. The family who runs this place is so nice and helpful. They own a supermarket on the ground floor and you can ask them for any kind of assistance, they'll do whatever they can to try and meet your needs. 
The problem there is that it's so hot and, unbelievably for Crete, there is no wind around the apartments. The rooms are on the first floor and above them is just a roof slab so when the sun comes up it gets really, but really HOT. The air conditioning couldn't help. It works only if you keep the doors closed and the moment you open them it's hot. Also it's impossible to sleep with the aircon on. And for some reason not even a breeze around the apartments. All over the Crete is so windy, we had problems trying to find the beaches where you can swim without waves in the sea, but here there is no air, and for the most of the day it's difficult to breath. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and going out on the terrace to try and get some fresh air but it was impossible.. So...that's a problem... Well, maybe we stayed there when it was too hot so it all seemed worse then it really is... 
As for the Anissaras, the place is nice, it has a long promenade by the beach, so it's really pleasant to go for a stroll after dinner. The small problem is the lack of restaurants, or some fast food place where you can grab a bite to eat...there is nothing but one restaurant next to Mike's apartments. So if you get hungry during the day you can either go to supermarket and buy something, or go to one and only extra expensive restaurant. The thing is, 4 and 5 star hotels are all around you, and they have everything they need within the hotel premises, so there is no need for additional restaurant or some fast food stand. So, the options are, you can go to Hersonissos or some other nearby place for a meal, or buy something at Mike's or Lidl and prepare it yourself.

Close to beach, but...

so the location is good near the beach front and kind of good views .

that's it the place is so badly run down and expensive what you get 

for the amount Mike is charging you should be able to fix the place up .

if your going to have a run down place and charge a lot for it then at least make sure it's clean but nope can't do that either.

it's a bit of a trap cause you think I can pay less than all inclusive and self cater. you be wrong you end up paying more and getting food and drinks with the pound being rubbish  basically paying London prices at restaurants around the area and if you don't hire a car from airport that's going cost you big as well if your going to go just go all inclusive but I wouldn't return I'm sure 30 years ago would of been a great place 

what a waste of great space !!

We just stayed 2 weeks at Mike Beach, everything was perfect, the beautiful apartment with a splendid view of the sea. We were welcomed with open arms. Thank you for everything. We had already come in June, from our return we booked 2 weeks for October. We wait until spring to book again. We will not look elsewhere for sunny stays. The housekeeping of the apartment was meticulously done every morning by a few people whose efficiency and discretion we appreciated. The place is quiet, pleasant, the manager is always extremely kind and serviceable.

Second stay at Mike Beach

If you want a place that is centrally located and you know how to make it your own, it's not new, but it's very cozy, the owner Mike is very friendly and available.
