    Steps from the sea

    The nearest is about 15 metres from the door, and the whole coast is lined with beaches, so you simply take your pick.

    A hidden gem on the Riviera

    Even in high summer, Brist never feels crowded. There's always room on the beach for you.

    Calm, and safe for children

    At the far end of Brist, past the turn where the passing traffic stops.

    Private parking of our own

    Our own reserved space, right around the corner, not a rented one far from the house.

    Booking.com Traveller Review Awards 2026, 10 out of 10, awarded to Beach House Buinac
    After a last-minute itinerary change, we were lucky to find this amazing apartment for a stopover on our way from Hvar to Dubrovnik. The apartment was immaculately clean, the bed and air conditioning great, and the sea views beautiful. Ena was the perfect host. Before we'd even met, she booked a nail salon appointment for me. During our stay we were treated like good friends, rather than strangers. Brist, on the Makarska Riviera, was a surprise discovery for us: beautiful beaches and crystal clear water (like much of Croatia), but very reasonably priced, with a quiet, relaxed community vibe. I hope one day we can return, and stay much longer!

    If you're looking for a secluded slice of paradise on the Adriatic coast, this place Brist is the place to stay. The apartment is clean and a stone's throw from the ocean. There's a beach, restaurants, bakery, bar, gelato, fruit and veg market and beach shops all just a few steps away. Driving 10 mins north you can visit Drevnik and take a boat to Hvar and have fun on their inflatable water park. Plenty of beaches and villages dotted along this stretch of coastline. Highly recommend! Hosts were lovely and always contactable, we even received a bottle of chilled wine on arrival! 100% recommend to everyone! Thanks for a relaxing and peaceful stay in beautiful Brist!

    Picturesque location, an Italian atmosphere, clean and tasteful. Easy to reach, and there's a parking space. Incredibly nice, helpful hosts: kind, open and easy to reach. They care about every detail. I'm used to sleeping in hotels, but this was better than a hotel! The apartment is fully equipped, spotless, modern, with a comfortable bed and a big bathroom, nothing was missing. A balcony and terrace with a sea view. Shops and bars nearby. Several beaches right by the apartment. A great place for a summer break. No, no one paid me for this review, it was simply wonderful :-)

    Right in the Middle of It All

    Brist sits at the heart of the coast. The islands are a short ferry away, and Split and Dubrovnik are each within a couple of hours.

    Built as Our Family's Summer Home

    Anita was born and raised in Brist, and Mirko came here when he was young. After moving to Sweden, they built the original Beach House in 2005 as a place for the family to spend their summers. In 2017 they extended it with two more apartments, Paula and Ena, named after their daughters.
