My family has just returned from 18 days at Cottage Maika in Vinisce, Croatia and I am already dreaming of when I can return. Karin and Dominik have created a beautiful place by renovating three cottages in an old shepherds village. There are ruins of other cottages all around. Cottage Maika is just as it was advertised. The interiors are clean and well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen and very comfortable beds. We spent most of our time while at the cottage outside on the terrace by the pool, which has amazing views of the Adriatic Sea. From the house we walked down to the sea for swims or just took long walks through the olive orchards while taking in the amazing views of the sea and mountains. For much of the time we used Cottage Maika as home base while we toured around the area. We visited Split, Sibenik, Trogir, Primosten, and Krka. All are within one hour or less and well worth visiting. We also rented a boat in Vinisce and had a wonderful day touring the islands. I was always happy to come home each afternoon to Cottage Miaka to cook a seafood dinner. Ingredients were purchased in the markets in Trogir and were as fresh as can be. We occasionally ate in Vinisce where the restaurants were as good as ones we tried in Split and Dubrovnik. Vinisce itself was a lovely throwback to an old American seaside town where families walk along the waterfront in the evenings with ice cream cones after a day swimming or boating. It was a lovely town. All of the people were so nice. I felt that all over Croatia. Thank you to Karin and Dominik for a fabulous vacation. Also thank you to Marino, the wonderful manager, who was ready at any time to help with anything….even how to use the washing machine!! When I go back to Croatia I will definitely be staying in Cottage Maika! I must add that this was my first time renting a cottage through an online site and it was fabulous!
