Description
- There is no business activity here
At the moment - april and may i need a help in spring cleaning the houses. So if you have experience in cleaning and organizing, let me know.
I moved to the island 9 years ago and I am arranging 2 tiny houses by the sea in a beautiful bay called Stoncica and also a house in town of Vis.
I learned quite some construction and wood work in the last few years so my projects are mostly DIY and i am looking for handy or even better skilled people. Preferably older than 30. Please do not apply here only because you like how the place looks like.
I need a help from handy, skilled and strong people that are also used to solitude and nature. So if you ever worked similar tasks like working on the surroundings, chopping the bushes, building dry walls, renovating the paths, making pergola, bringing stuff to the bay in the wheelbarrow, then this might be a place for you ...
My guests have their own separate very comfortable house next to my place. We would go to the bay on daily basis and do some tasks there. Working usually from 11-12 am to 3-4 pm, 2 days in a week are free and i provide 1 vegetarian meal per day.
I might be also looking for a petsitter later in the autumn - only one person that is tidy and organized and can stay for at least 2 weeks. I might be leaving the island for a few days and i would like to host someone to take care of my 3 animals. I have 2 cats and a dog. They get the very special treatment and attention like many people dont. :) I would like you to come few days sooner so you can all get used to each other and see if we get along.

Help is mostly outdoor so you can enjoy a really beautiful nature. The island itself is just beautiful to see, hang around in the wild, meet some other local people.
Help
The tiny houses are distanced about 7km from town and then another 10 minutes walk from the parking. So drinking water and all the other things (food, material..) needs to be brought along. I always ask my volunteers to be conscious of water consumption and other resources, to keep the place tidy and carefully use things like tools, house equipment... During the winter I live in town of Vis but I still drive to the bay and do the work there.
We might have to carry some stones and other load, chop the bushes, mix cement, plant trees and do some other construction and DIY work. Therefore I wish to host people that are in a good body condition and perhaps already know how to do stuff. Teaching basic things takes a lot of effort and people with some skills are more then welcome. You also have to be used to live with nature and meet all kinds of animals, mice, spiders, wasps, bees and other insects. There are no poisoned animals on the island though.
When asking for animal care I prefer someone who already has experience with all kinds of animals and understands their nature. My dog accept people who has a certain calm, confident and stable energy, otherwise she is seeking for attention and taking a charge of everything.
Some of the tasks:
- pergola construction
- planting trees and gardening
- chopping bushes
- repairing a stony path and bringing stones
- building dry walls
- mixing cement and making concrete stairs and shower
- carpentry
- puting tiles
- constructing a storage, painting wood
- petsitting

Accommodation
You will be sleeping in the bay in one of the secluded tiny houses or in town of Vis at my parents comfortable holiday house. I ask people to take a good care of the place they live in and keep it tidy.
What else ...
Before we come together I usually talk with my volunteers by whats app about some other details. For example about the food and routines we have. I provide one vegetarian or vegan meal per day on the day of work. The rest of the food we can individually bring to the house and share. There are some basics already in the house (like oil , vinager, spices...).
On the day off you can do whatever you like (hike, visit some beach or another town Komiža, bike,...). Sometimes, if i have time i can join you and show you around too.

Sara not only welcomed me to this paradise but also made a point of introducing me to the whole island!
Thank you so much for everything you've done for me and I wish you all the best!
we are here and waiting for you to visit again :) The first time was beautiful but the second is gonna be fantastic :) as we already know how it all works out for both of us. One is a morning - and one an evening person, eating good food and just listening to the music is good enough for us ;) Thank you for your help and the dry wall… read more
