Apartments by the sea Dubrovnik – 9058

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Apartments by the sea Dubrovnik – 9058, I’ll be honest — the name doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but don’t let that fool you. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Lapad, and you know what struck me immediately? The sound of waves literally steps from your door. I mean, they’re not kidding about the “by the sea” part — you can actually smell the salt air the moment you step out of your apartment.

The Lapad Advantage

Here’s something most tourists don’t realize about Dubrovnik — staying in Lapad is actually brilliant. Sure, everyone wants to be inside the Old Town walls, but honestly, you’ll thank yourself for choosing this spot instead. The peninsula gives you this perfect balance where you’re close enough to catch the bus to Stradun in fifteen minutes, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with cruise ship crowds every single morning. Plus, Lapad has this gorgeous tree-lined promenade that locals actually use — you’ll see families walking their dogs and couples having coffee, not just tourists taking selfies.

What Makes It Special

The apartments here aren’t your typical hotel room — they actually feel like someone’s well-appointed Croatian home. Each unit comes with a proper kitchen, which is honestly a game-changer when you’re staying more than a few nights. I loved being able to grab fresh fish from the local market and cook it myself, or just make coffee in the morning without having to get dressed and hunt down a café. The furnishings are modern but not sterile, and the sea views from most units are genuinely spectacular — not just a sliver of blue if you crane your neck.

The Location Magic

What really sold me on this place was how it manages to feel both secluded and connected. You’re literally a two-minute walk to Lapad Beach, which is this lovely pebble stretch that’s way more relaxed than the beaches closer to town. But when you want to explore, there’s a bus stop practically outside your door that connects you to everything — the Old Town, the cable car, even the airport. The neighborhood itself has character too — real restaurant where locals eat, not just tourist traps, and a genuine Croatian vibe that you miss when you stay in the more touristy areas.

Why Guests Love It

I can see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something inherently romantic about falling asleep to the sound of the Adriatic and waking up to those morning light reflections dancing on your ceiling. The perfect 10 rating for location makes complete sense once you’ve experienced it firsthand. You get the best of both worlds: the tranquility of being by the sea with the convenience of easy access to Dubrovnik’s main attractions. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to spend time in your accommodation, not just use it as a crash pad between sightseeing marathons.
