Vacation rental in Dubrovnik Croatia

[Ryan Billingsley]

We just got back from a 3 week trip to Europe and one of the cities we visited was Dubrovnik Croatia.  Beautiful city full of history, great food, and wonderful people.  We rented an apartment on the hillside overlooking the old town.  The owner was one of the highlights of staying at this particular apartment.  He is a retired engineer who now lives off his vaca rental plus retirement savings.  He owns his unit outright and rents it for 80 Euros per night.  It is almost completely booked through winter so it is a steady income for him.

He treated us like family during our stay and also with a dental emergency by getting us an appointment with the best dentist in Dubrovnik on their day off!  

In his apartment he provided his home made family brandy which was delicious!  

His life consist of catering to his guest, walking to the old town daily to visit friends and family, and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.  This man lives in a magical place and loves what he does.
