Welcome to Mares House Apartments with Pool – Mediterranean Tranquility in the Heart of Velebit In the small historic town of Karlobag, where the mountains meet the sea in the peaceful embrace of nature, you’ll find Mares House Apartments with Pool – a place many guests have called their temporary home, and some, their true summer oasis. Completely renovated in 2025, this charming property lies within the boundary of Velebit Nature Park, just steps away from the Adriatic coastline. Only a few minutes’ walk separates you from the sea, and just as little from the town center – a place that still preserves its authentic coastal, Dalmatian, and Lika character. The house has been thoughtfully designed, blending elegance and charm with natural materials and tones inspired by the local landscape. Stone, wood, herbs, and soft colors merge with the surroundings, creating a space that soothes and inspires at the same time. Inside the property, there are two carefully designed apartments, each offering a balance of comfort, function, and privacy. Each unit features two air-conditioned bedrooms with large double beds, a living room with a pull-out sofa and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with a large refrigerator and coffee maker, a bathroom with shower and hairdryer, plus a separate toilet. Guests staying longer especially appreciate the in-unit washing machine and the spacious terraces each apartment provides. But what truly sets Mares House apart is its outdoor space: beside the house lies a turquoise swimming pool, surrounded by natural stone, greenery, and a comfortable lounge area. The covered terrace by the pool is perfect for long morning coffees, quiet afternoon reading, or evening barbecues under the stars accompanied by the sound of crickets. In addition to the main terrace, there are several more intimate terraces in front of the house and next to the kitchen – ideal for a peaceful breakfast or dinner beneath the night sky.

Karlobag and its surroundings offer a wealth of options for all types of travelers: the beach, just 200 meters away, includes a children’s playground, sandpit, and sea aqua park. Nature lovers can explore coastal cycling routes to Ribarica or embark on a hiking adventure through Velebit, enjoying breathtaking panoramic views. For those seeking adrenaline, Rizvan City adventure park is nearby, with ziplining, quad biking, and paintball. The sea invites you to take a boat trip to Pag Island, or you can rent a boat and discover hidden coves on your own. Culture and history are within easy reach – from the Capuchin Monastery and the Church of St. Charles in Karlobag’s old town, to the Nikola Tesla Memorial Center in Smiljan, just 25 km away. A special mention goes to Zavratnica Bay, only 10 km away – one of the most stunning coves in Croatia, with untouched nature and crystal-clear water. Mares House Apartments with Pool is not just a place to stay – it’s a space where life slows down, where you reconnect with nature, and where memories are made. Whether you're visiting as a couple seeking romance, a family looking for seaside adventure, or a group of friends ready to explore and unwind – here, you'll find everything you need. And more.
