The problem with water in Gelendzhik
The problem with water is the main problem of the resort. Just be prepared for this, because many tourists are not aware of the situation and are unpleasantly surprised on vacation. In summer, there is always an acute shortage of water in Gelendzhik, so it is given on schedule (check with the owners). For those who want to avoid these problems, I advise you to rent a house with your own well or storage tank. During our vacation in Gelendzhik we specially chose such a hotel - it was the "Syndicate" 3 *, which I can safely recommend as a stylish, comfortable, modern and inexpensive hotel.
About prices
July and August are the most expensive vacation times. I warned you, so don't be intimidated by the prices.
June and September are about one and a half times cheaper, and the weather and water temperature in September are very pleasant.
The rest of the time, prices are 2-3 times lower than in the middle of summer.
Important Tips
I will tell you a few important things about rental housing in the private sector of Gelendzhik.
For searching and booking accommodation, I recommend these reliable siteswhich I use myself when traveling:
Airbnb.ru and Sutochno.ru - search for housing in the private sector. They have convenient websites, real reviews of tourists and photos. I must say right away that the first site takes a small commission, which is honestly reported when calculating the price. There is no need to be afraid of this, because the service will become the guarantor of your booking and will always protect your interests if the owner starts to invent something. Unfortunately, in the south of Russia there are many scammers and simply dishonest homeowners and hoteliers, so it is better to book an apartment on reliable sites, and not directly or through incomprehensible intermediaries. Check out my tips for booking on Airbnb.
Hotelluk - search for hotels, guest houses and a little private sector. The service compares prices on Booking, Ostrovka and other sites to find the best deal.
Travelata - search for profitable tours.
I also recommend finding out about 10 ways to book hotels cheaper.
well and look for housing the old fashioned way, that is, on the spot, according to advertisements or with the help of barkers at train stations and streets - this is a path leading to nowhere ... You will lose time and nerves, and as a result you will be deceived anyway. This is Kuban, there honest people do not run after tourists in the streets.
When choosing accommodation by the sea, keep in mind that next to the beaches and the most tourist streets in the evening and at night can be noisy.
By the way, renting an apartment or studio in Gelendzhik is a great idea, because having your own kitchen will allow you not only to save on food, but also to avoid poisoning in dubious eateries, cafes and restaurants, which, alas, are enough in this city.
I advise autotourists to choose housing with parking, drive a car there and forget about it for the entire vacation: you definitely don't need it at the resort, it is useful only for trips to wild beaches and attractions. This is exactly what we did.
And one last tip: always read reviews carefully when booking accommodation on any website. The experience of other tourists is the most useful information when choosing accommodation. They will tell you the whole truth about dirt, noise, and the owners.
That's it, enough theory! Let's have a look at the best housing in the private sector of Gelendzhik.
Perfect apartment with sea views
Why perfect? Is it too loud a statement? Friends, this opinion is not mine, this is the opinion of the people, the same vacationers as you and me, who have already stayed in this apartment and appreciated it in their reviews. The apartment has an unrealistically high rating - exactly 5 points based on 50 reviews. To be honest, this is very rare: usually at least a few tourists will find something to complain about and the rating of even the coolest apartments is most often kept at the level of 4.7-4.9 points. And here is a solid five! Very worthy, especially for our south.
Well, now about the apartment itself. There are 2 bedrooms and 4 beds, so it can accommodate up to 6 people (4 adults and 2 children). There are two balconies at once with good views: the sea and the mountains - you don't even need to choose. The hostess has a superhost medal, and guests in the reviews confirm that the title is absolutely deserved. There is everything for a comfortable stay, especially for tourists with small children. The house is located in a pleasant and quiet area of Gelendzhik, we ourselves stayed nearby during our holidays.
Due to its well and storage tank, there is constantly water in the apartment!
One bad thing: the apartment is in great demand, so book in advance.
Price: in the off-season - from 3500 rubles, in summer - from 5500 rubles per day.
Apartment with panoramic windows and views of the bay
Another pleasant find in the private sector of Gelendzhik! Guests will be especially pleased with the large floor-to-ceiling windows, which offer a gorgeous view of the city and the bay. It will be very pleasant to rest with such a view - I know this from personal experience and I always try to choose such housing (for example, in Tuapse we rented a similar apartment). The location of the house is good: guests write that it is 10 minutes to walk to the sea, and 20 minutes to the central beach. The owner has a “superhost” medal, and the guests speak very well of him. Extended cleaning with disinfection of surfaces is carried out in the apartment. The apartment has a storage tank for 400 liters, so you won't be left without water. Some of the guests were only dissatisfied with the lack of a wardrobe.
You can rent this apartment very inexpensively: in the low season - from 1500 rubles, in summer - from 3300 rubles per day.
Bright apartments "Luna Apart"
The apartment is located in the new complex "Chernomorskiy" not far from the luxurious Kempinsky hotel - this is Tolstoy Cape, a very pleasant area.

Host Dmitry also liked all the guests for his responsiveness and responsibility.

Apartment on the 12th floor
And again, we did not pass by another apartment with a great view! What can you do if the private sector of Gelendzhik pleases with such options. In this apartment, you can admire the view from a warm balcony, where there are two armchairs - the guests appreciated such a pleasant option. The apartment is located in an elite residential complex in the Central district of the city, it takes 7-10 minutes to walk to the sea. Guests like the fact that the noise from the busiest streets does not reach the house. There is a dolphinarium across the road, there are shops and transport stops nearby. Tourists also appreciated the excellent cleanliness of the apartment.
