About
Our background
Our family comprises a human, 2 dogs and our property managers. In 2017, I moved from the beautiful mountains of North Carolina and started to build this unique vacation experience based on my skills and hobbies. Born and raised in Croatia, I returned home after living in the US for 2 decades. My passions lie in creating a sustainable lifestyle and unique guest stays by growing our own food, making our own body care products from locally collected medicinal plants, decorating our apartments with upcycled art, sharing meals over a bonefire and hiking with our guests.
I chose to settle down on the Dalmatian coast for the richness of its islands and inlets, its healthy cuisine based on fish and vegetables, and numerous pristine beach coves, walking, and biking routes. Tisno attracted me with its slow lifestyle and small-town feeling; its amenities being within walking distance from our house; and plenty of nature trails near us.
​
I love to take nature walks and explore our neighborhood with my two dogs, Amali and Rudi, or hike the forest and mountains of our beautiful planet Earth.
"Lilly's Cozy Cove is a place where you can recharge your batteries and rejuvenate your spirit"
I believe in creating a care-free and comfortable home away from home for my guests; a place where anyone can recharge their batteries and rejuvenate their spirit away from the hectic life and bustling cities. My guests who choose to come here enjoy long walks through olive groves to the hidden coves; appreciate my eclectically furnished apartments with intentionally placed details to make them feel more like home; and love to share their life stories over bonfire and some food. We look forward to hosting you.
Our place
At Lilly’s Cozy Cove apartment rental, we open our door and welcome all walks of life into our comfortable and eclectically decorated apartments. Step into our garden, for all senses' enjoyment.
In the morning, wake up to the lively chirping of the birds. Start your day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, sipped slowly while sitting outside, looking out to the sea or to our garden filled with birds' song.
After the easy-going morning coffee and breakfast, take a short walk to a pebble beach for a refreshing swim in crystal clear water. Let your spirit be calmed by the smell of salty water mixed with pine tree sap and the sound of the cicadas. During off-season months, explore and enjoy numerous nature walks right outside of our door, or a short driving distance away.

If you prefer a more active vacation, during any time of the year join us for a hike or rent a bike to explore the nearby magic coves and other hidden treasures of Nature.
At night, take a stroll downtown and get lost around the narrow, cobblestone streets of Tisno, walk up to one of the churches on the hill and enjoy the full panoramic view of the village at night. Close your day by crawling under the soft bed covers and let the lullaby of the cicadas sing you to sleep.
