Apartment Vice

Apartment Vice Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Apartment Vice in Šibenik, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from a three-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in understated packages. This little gem sits quietly in the Grubišići neighborhood, and there’s something immediately welcoming about it. The fact that there’s free parking right on site was already a win in my book — anyone who’s tried to park in Croatian coastal towns knows what a relief that is.

The Location Sweet Spot

Here’s the thing about Šibenik that most people don’t realize until they get there — it’s perfectly positioned between the madness of Split and the tourist crowds of Zadar, but it has this authentic Croatian charm that hasn’t been completely polished for Instagram yet. Apartment Vice sits in a residential area that feels genuinely local, but you’re still close enough to walk into the old town whenever you want. I mean, the recent guest rating of 9.0 for location doesn’t lie — couples especially seem to get it, probably because there’s something romantic about having your own little hideaway while still being able to explore one of Croatia’s most underrated cities.

The Space Itself

The apartment I stayed in was honestly better than I expected. It’s not trying to be fancy, but everything works and feels clean and comfortable. The kitchen setup is actually practical — not just some tiny corner with a hot plate, but a real space where you can make breakfast or prepare a simple dinner with ingredients from the local market. The room has that Croatian coastal simplicity that I’ve come to appreciate, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable for a good night’s sleep after long days of exploring.

What Makes It Work

You know what really impressed me? The attention to small details that matter when you’re actually living somewhere for a few days. Good water pressure in the shower, reliable Wi-Fi, and windows that actually keep the morning light out when you want to sleep in. The owners clearly understand what travelers need versus what looks good in photos. Plus, having that secure parking means you can actually use Apartment Vice as a base for day trips to Krka National Park or the Kornati Islands without worrying about your car.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.7 rating starts to make sense when you realize this place delivers exactly what it promises — no more, no less. It’s the kind of spot where couples can have their own space to decompress, cook a meal together, and feel like they’re getting a genuine taste of how locals live. The neighborhood is quiet enough for proper rest, but you’re not isolated from the action when you want it. Honestly, for the price point and the freedom that comes with having your own apartment, it’s hard to argue with the value here.

Locals suggest to book apartments in Sibenik around Dolac Market for fresh oysters, morning espresso, and lazy swims.

• Christoph from Germany – 16 August 2023 (10/10)

  Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in den letzten 10 Tagen. Die Unterkunft ist einfach nur klasse. Es gibt alles was man braucht. Man hat eine tolle Aussicht vom Balkon. Den Parkplatz direkt vor der Tür. Im Kühlschrank wartete direkt eine Flasche Wein, Mandeln und Kekse auf uns. Die Gastgeberin Sonja ist wirklich klasse. Sie sendete uns Tipps zum einkaufen, Gaststätten usw.
  Die Betten sind in Ordnung. Wir haben alle sehr gut geschlafen. Es gibt eine Waschmaschine und alle Räume sind klimatisiert. Wirklich großartig und absolut empfehlenswert! Die Lage ist zwar etwas abseits aber man erreicht alles innerhalb kurzer Zeit… dafür ist es absolut ruhig.
  Am vorletzten Abend brachte uns Sonja noch selbstgemachte Crêpes. Diese waren köstlich. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Zeit!

  Die Gastgeber ist sehr sehr nett. Im Kühlschrank war eine Teller mit kroatische Köstlichkeiten für uns vorbereiter worden. Empfehlungen fürs Einkaufen oder essen gehen gab's direkt per WhatsApp. Das mit den Klima bei dem Wetter in jeden Zimmern ist perfekt. Kinder bekamen sogar Palasinke mit Nutella. Wir bekamen manchmal einen süßen besucher auf den Balkon 🐱. Danke

  – Very friendly host
  – terrace with shadow & beautiful view

• Daniel from Austria – 16 August 2022 (9/10)

  We were welcomed and greeted very friendly. As we said we would arrive to early for check-in we were recommended a coffee shop at the beach via WhatsApp to shorten the waiting time.
  At check-in there was a plate and vine prepared for us, we got shown around the Apartment and were told how all the devices work and also got recommendations for eating, ordering and shopping.
  there were separat AC-units for both bedrooms and for the living room/kitchen area so that everyone could feel comfortable.

• Anja from Slovenia – 5 August 2022 (10/10)

  Upon arrival the hosts showed us the apartment and surprised us with cold cuts. Apartment is very beautiful and big and have a nice view on the seacoast, especially when is the sunset. Kudos to hosts and hope we come back soon.
