Beetlejuice Apartments

Beetlejuice Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Beetlejuice Apartments on Ulica Ante Starčevića, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the quirky name — but this four-star property completely won me over. The building sits right in the heart of Šibenik’s old town, and you can immediately tell why couples give the location such high marks. There’s something magical about being steps away from the cathedral and those narrow medieval streets, yet tucked into a quiet residential area where locals actually live.

The Location Sweet Spot

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? It’s far enough from the main tourist drag that you won’t hear groups wandering around at midnight, but close enough that you can walk to Šibenik’s famous Cathedral of St. James in about three minutes. I mean, the location score of 9.5 isn’t just marketing fluff — it’s genuinely earned. The morning walk to grab coffee and pastries from the local bakery became my favorite ritual, and there’s a small grocery store around the corner that saved me multiple times when I needed snacks or forgot to pack something.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment itself feels like staying in a friend’s well-designed place rather than a typical hotel room. Everything’s been thoughtfully updated while keeping that Croatian coastal charm intact — you’ll find modern fixtures alongside traditional stone details that remind you exactly where you are. The kitchen is actually functional (not just decorative like some places), which came in handy when I picked up fresh seafood from the morning market. Honestly, having that extra space to spread out made such a difference, especially after long days exploring the Kornati Islands.

Neighborhood Life

What I loved most was how the area comes alive in the evenings — locals gathering in the small squares, kids playing football in the streets, and that authentic Croatian rhythm you just can’t find in touristy areas. There’s a family-run restaurant two blocks away that doesn’t even have an English menu, but the owner’s daughter helped me order the most incredible black risotto I’ve ever had. The whole neighborhood feels lived-in and real, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to experience a place rather than just visit it.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.6 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s that rare combination of excellent location, comfortable accommodations, and genuine local character that’s getting harder to find. Couples especially seem to appreciate the romantic setting (those evening walks through the old town are pretty special), but honestly, anyone who wants to experience Šibenik like a temporary local rather than a tourist will get it. The fact that you can walk to everything important while still having a peaceful base to return to — that’s the real magic here.

Reviews of Beetlejuice Apartments

• Exceptional – Paula from Croatia (10/10)

  Great location, only few minutes walking distance from the centre. The owners are amazing! Thank you and will definitely bee back!

• Surprisingly modern apartment with great views. Would definitely recommend! – Kfechner from United States (10/10)

  The location was ideal-very close to the old town, but not in it. Easy to walk to attractions. Host Toni was incredibly friendly and helpful. The fountain nearby was one of our favorite spots.

• Schönes Apartment – Torsten from Germany (9/10)

  Schönes Apartment in Altstadtnähe mit Blick auf Markt und Meer.

• Exceptional – Petra from Czech Republic (10/10)

  Majitelé úžasní, moc milý přístup. Flexibilnost, rychlost, profesionalita. Potřebovala jsem dřívější check in a hodně pozdější check out a nebyl to problém. Je to jenom o přístupu. Moc ráda dorazím znovu.

• Exceptional – Katalin from Hungary (10/10)

  A lakás nagyon szép, felújított, a házigazda nagyon kedves, segítőkész. Nagyon szerettem itt lenni. A kilátás gyönyörű, ahogy a város és a környék is. Nehéz szívvel hagytam itt, nagyon ajánlott.

• Izvrsna vrijednost za novac – Petar from Croatia (10/10)

  Izvrsna lokacija u blizini luke, autobusnog kolodvora, tržnice i dućana te svega par minuta hoda od stare gradske jezgre. Apartman je izvrsno opremljen svime što možete zatrebati tijekom boravka, a posebno ukoliko ostajete dulje. Najbolja vrijednost za novac koju smo do sada dobili na brojnim putovanjima po jadranskoj obali.

• Aanrader! – Wieteke from Netherlands (9/10)

  Mooi, erg ruim en modern ingericht appartement van alle gemakken voorzien op een toplocatie! Met 5 minuten lopen sta je in het (oude) centrum. Extra handdoeken en extra beddengoed aanwezig. Complete keuken. Niet heel grote maar wel luxe en complete badkamer met regendouche. Ontzettend leuke en vriendelijke ontvangst door de gastheer.

• Exceptional – Ágnes from Hungary (10/10)

  Nagyon tiszta volt az apartman. Kedves és rugalmas a szállásadò. Gyönyörű kilátás.

• Sve je bilo super a posebno domacini – Sanja from Germany (10/10)

  Apartman je na super lokaciji, par metara do grada. Domacini su bili najbolji, sva su pitanja odmah odgovorili i pomogli. Apartman je moderan i jako cist i njegovan.

• Schöne Zeit verbracht, gerne wieder! – Viktoria from Germany (9/10)

  Die Wohnung modern ausgerichtet und sehr sauber. Es hat uns nichts gefehlt.
  Der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
  Die Lage ist traumhaft, in wenigen Minuten ist man im Stadtzentrum mit vielen Restaurant/Cafés.
  Stadtstrand ist in ca. 15-20 Gehminuten erreichbar, man läuft durch die schöne Promenade mit traumhaften Ausblick.
  In der Nähe von der Wohnung gibt es einen Markt mit viele frische Obst/Gemüse, auch Bäckerei und kleiner Lebensmittelgeschäft.
