Where to Find Them

Private apartments are common in towns like Split, Zadar, Šibenik, and Dubrovnik, as well as on islands such as Hvar, Brač, and Korčula. Listings can be found on local booking sites, or directly on FlightHub, where you can book both your flight and hotel together as a package deal at a discounted price.

What to Expect

Most apartments have one or two rooms, a small kitchen, and a private bathroom. Air conditioning is common but not guaranteed. Hosts often live in the same building and can help with local tips or transportation. If you’re lucky, some stays include balconies or terraces with sea views, but many are set a few streets back from the water.

Price Range

Prices vary by season and location. Expect to pay around $60 – $100 CAD per night for a basic apartment in smaller towns, and $120 – $170 in larger or more touristy areas during the summer. Rates usually drop by 30 to 40 percent outside of peak season (May to June or September to October).

Booking Tips

It’s best to book early if you’re traveling in July or August, since many family-run apartments fill up months in advance. Don’t forget to bring cash, as some hosts don’t accept credit or debit cards. Before you arrive, confirm whether towels and cleaning services are included, since these details aren’t always listed clearly. If you plan to drive, ask the host about parking options because spaces near the coast can be limited and often need to be reserved ahead of time.

Why Stay Here

These apartments offer privacy, kitchen access, and a direct view of daily coastal life. You can experience the destination more like a local by shopping at nearby markets, cooking your own meals, and getting to know the people who live there year-round. It’s a simple and comfortable way to feel part of the place rather than just staying at a resort.
