I have already been to Gelendzhik many times, both in the city itself and in its environs. At first, we often went to stand with a tent on the seashore by savages or in a camping, then we began to stop periodically in an apartment / hotel. Still, with a child you want comfort. The city itself is quite pleasant, it is especially good there not during the peak season in August, but in the neighboring months, when it is already / is still warm, but there are not so many people. When I was preparing for the last trip, I made a special list of accommodation for myself, which somehow I liked in some way. Now I share with you.
If you prefer to stay in a hotel, you can see My selection of hotels in Gelendzhik. The post might also be helpful - What to see in Gelendzhik and where to go.

How to rent an apartment or house in Gelendzhik
Where to look
Now apartments can be rented through many different sites, there are many offers. I singled out 3 major ones for myself: the Booking.com hotel booking service, the well-known Avito and Airbnb. You can also look for an apartment on the spot. Upon arrival, there are people with signs at the station. «apartment by the sea». The latter option does not suit me at all, so I choose Booking as a convenient and proven service. Previously, there were very few offers of apartments (apart-hotels) and apartments on Booking, but the situation is changing and there is more and more choice. And Avito is more suitable for long-term rental, as it seems to me.
I have already written about Airbnb many times. Its convenience from the user's point of view is that you can see reviews of the housing of people who have already visited it and view photos of the apartment (or house). The payment method is also very convenient - you can pay for the reservation by credit card. At the same time, the owner will not receive your money until you come to the chosen accommodation. So the risk of running into scammers is minimized. In addition, if the living conditions do not correspond to the declared ones, you can get your money back through the service. Recently, more and more housing offers have been appearing in Russia on Airbnb and more and more people are learning about it. Although not so long ago this service was practically irrelevant for Russia due to the meager number of offers. But times are changing, more and more housing is rented through Airbnb and, importantly, its quality is also improving..
If you do not have registration there yet, then it's time to register and get a $ 20 bonus using this link. The bonus can be used during the year for the first booking. And be sure to read my detailed post about this service, where I tell you how to register, how to get a bonus, how to look for housing, etc..
Rent nuances
The nuances of renting apartments in Gelendzhik in one way or another relate to the entire Krasnodar Territory. I wrote about them before, in other posts, but I will write again.
- The landlord (or the person who introduces himself to them) does not always strictly follow the rules for working with the service. For example, that you cannot write card numbers, phone numbers, website addresses in a personal message. Not everyone understands, according to what scheme payment for housing should be made. It is better not to pay for housing by transferring to the owner's bank card, so as not to fall for fraud. It is better to pay through the service, so as not to tempt fate. If the living conditions do not correspond or they will not settle you at all, then by paying for the reservation through the service, you will return your money back, but if you transfer them to a private person (owner) in advance, in case of problems, no one guarantees anything..
- Often, the owners put more sofas in their apartments so that they can accommodate as many people as possible. In small apartments, all these beds can get in the way, cluttering the room. True, if you are traveling in a large company, then a large number of sleeping places in the apartment is rather a plus..
- In some apartments, living conditions are such that for each subsequent guest, starting with a certain amount (starting with the second guest or, for example, from the sixth), you need to pay extra. Some people charge for the child as an adult, etc. All this must be clarified in advance and immediately write the number of people who will live in the apartment. The final price depends on this. Usually renting an apartment with a large company is cheaper..
- If any specific details are important to you, it is better to clarify them in advance in the correspondence. Whether there are hot water or electricity outages, whether the Internet is stable, how far is it to the nearest convenience store. It happens that the owners forget to indicate something in the description or there is no declared in reality or this option is paid.
- From the previous paragraph, it turns out that using filters in the search on the site can be pointless (washing machine, wi-fi, having a kitchen, etc.). If the landlord has forgotten to indicate this, the results of this housing will not appear. Therefore, it is better to check everything with your own hands, looking at the photos and carefully reading the description..
- There is often no internet in the apartments. You can buy a local SIM card and connect 3G.
- In different months, the cost of housing is not the same. The cheapest is in winter, and starting from May the price rises, reaching a peak in August. Then it goes down again. But the price on the site is not updated by all the owners, so it should also be clarified by correspondence with the owner of the property..
- The apartment may be located in a small private house, so there may not be an elevator, parking, communications will not be central. Some people call such apartments apartments or a room with a kitchen in an apart-hotel. This is not to say that such apartments are always worse than ordinary ones, you just need to take into account their features..
