Has anyone ever rented a villa on Skiathos?
I don't mean apartments called XXXXX Villas, I mean a big (usually) detached house, (usually) with its own pool.

Often travel solo so a bit out of my league :-)

I've always thought they'd be massively expensive, but looking at some of the prices they're not so bad.
Particularly some of the large ones if you go with a big group of you.

I'm thinking about this for me, my wife, baby & parents. Have you got any good links? I looked at Airbnb but everything is well overpriced on there.

A lady called Jill Dusher (on FB Boomerang site) manages the rental of two villas - Starlight Villas. They have pools and car rental included and look great.

I was looking at this again the other day.
Sunset Villas, just north west of the airport.
Here's the thing, you can see why people go out of term time.
There's an 8 day gap where they have a vacancy in August, and for 2 adults + 2 kids it's £3,100.
But if you were to go for a fortnight at the end of September it'd be just £1,700.
Now at £350 each for a return flight, that's just £775 each for a luxury villa.
I know a mate, single mum with a daughter. If the 6 of us went it'd be just £630 each!
skiathos-sunsetvillas.com/
You know, at those prices these 'exclusive, luxury' villas don't look particularly expensive at all.

I may be wrong, but I think Starlight & Sunset Villas are right next to each other. They look fairly similar, too.

I think you may be right about that, however you would need a car. I know someone who has rented Starlight & I am pretty sure they included a car in the rental. Good luck in your search!

On their website it says Starlight and Sunset were formed from splitting the four Sunset (or Starlight) villas into two, renaming one pair. I’m pretty sure it says it includes rental of a basic car. I’ve never looked into villas, they seem to me to be “How the other half lives”.
If you look on my Utube video “Xanemos to Platanos” at about 10:39 I stop outside two gates, the first being an impressive taverna and I think the second might be Sunset and Starlight, with a black sign on the gatepost. If not, then it’s certainly in that area.

From Hull, she and her husband have retired there.
If I'd known she managed these villas I'd have asked her a little more about them.
Seemed like a very nice lady.
