Apartment Pilatus Ošljak

The location itself was excellent, a little island off thecoast of Preko. It has few houses and a pirate bar. All the residents seemed nice and we felt safe. The beach access was great and beautful to lay about, swim and enjoy.

The only criticism is the access to the island. We had no issue with it being by boat/ferry, that added a little interest and coordination. I would just say that it may benefit future guest if the host shared ways to get off and on the island itself. The Ferry is available a few times a day but you are bound to the Ferry schedule without private support. Our host sorted us on arrival and his son helped with our grocery shop the first day. But outside of that we were a little stranded and held by the Ferry. It was only a few days later that we were told of a taxi service from the marina. I would suggest some information from the host on how to get on and off, contact details and maybe even a friend/neighbour who can support guests, with advance notice. Not a negative comment, more constructive.

A calm and magical little pearl on the island! Silent with only the sound of crickets and seagulls! Vesna and Duŝko were the loveliest host, really made us feel like we were visiting family! So helpful with bags, reccomendations and everything, they really go the extra mile!

Only that we did not stay another week!

Locals in Zadar kept telling us that vacation starts on the islands and now we agree! Island Osljak is a pearl...the beautiful nature, 5 minutes by boat to a port town for shopping, no cars, private beaches, amazing nature, plants, flowers, fruits everywhere, and the water is fantastic colors and great snorkeling. The hosts are wonderful and the apartment very good, well located, dreamy views, and great croatian style bbq. This exceeded our hopes on all levels and can wholeheartedly recommend coming for a great stay. Cheers, Robbie i Sandy

We didnt want to leave, it was such a paradise

Loved this apartment which is well equipped, clean and very comfortable. It has a lovely view from the balcony. We also loved the island it's situated on, Ošljak. Beautiful, car-free place with one restaurant and no shops (Duško, the owner, does do food and barbecues, but we only found it on our last day!) Lovely swimming in the sea and a great place to relax. Duško and his wife were extremely kind and welcoming and gave us some supplies when we realised we hadn't brought enough with us.

Nothing. The only thing is make sure you bring food and drinks with you as there is nowhere to buy it on the island. Otherwise you have to get a ferry to Preko or back to Zadar.
