The view really is stunning from this very new apartment. The place was spotless and the owner super-nice and helpful. The apartment is on the top floor of the building which is in the uppermost part of Stikovica. The location within 20 minutes of Dubrovnik is convenient...quiet but with a small pebble beach and a couple of restaurants, but no supermarket or other amenities. Sea kayaks are available for rent from the pizza place. Dubrovnik itself is rather expensive, so being outside of it was both pleasant and handy for driving to other places. There are bus services along the coast every hour or so. By car, we did day trips to Mljet, Peljesak Peninsula, Bosnia, Dubrovnik, Cavtat and further south. The reasons for not giving the apartment a higher rating were minor...it had little charm...modern but with no color or individuality. Also, the balcony turned out not to be very useful, as it was very windy in that location each night/morning (may be a seasonal thing?) and in the afternoon it lacked shade so was not useful then either. Also we couldn't even watch a World Cup football game on the TV as it didn't have local channels (would be nice to have a satellite channel guide available). The kitchen was well stocked except for sharp knives for chopping vegetables. The owner provided one immediately. Stikovica itself lacked some charm as it is all new construction; Zaton proper was probably a little better overall.
