Exclusive beach apartment with Wonderful View

This is a great apartment in a blissful setting, and worked really well or our family of four. The apartment itself is spacious and clean, but it’s the micro location that is the star here! Sitting on the terrace, looking out over the private pool to the shared pool to the beach just beyond was incredibly relaxing, amazing sunsets, and the ability to drink our morning tea and a sundowner on the beach we’re just what we were looking for. Being close to three restaurants for dinner (coco tango (closed Mondays) shanti shanti and dirty fish) all of which we would recommend, and Smoon for breakfasts / brunch was very convenient. We had all we needed but in a really chilled and quiet place. It’s not clear from the listing, but there is a concierge on site most days who was helping in arranging trips and transport. The apartment had chilled water, and big covered terrace section which was shady all day so we could sit out, the shared pool was very quiet so we mostly had it to ourselves. 20 ish minutes walk along the beach (at low tide, still a bit of a scramble) to a 711 for beer and atm. Would really recommend, we were very sorry to leave!

Very easy to go and helpful people to house. So beautiful place, private beach and nice restaurant very near. Recommend that house, you will love it!

Our favourite part of this vrbo was the location, location,, location. The house it’s self was quite nice and the pool was great. There could have been a housekeeper come in at least once during our stay, however the house was very clean when we arrived. The place is close to good dining and other activities. Everything was very minimalistic in terms of furniture, condiments, daily necessities (salt, toilet paper, sugar ) would have made things much nicer. The host Nick was very helpful with booking rides, renting a car, etc. We would rate this place a 4.5.

We had a fabulous time staying here, the villa is in a beautiful location on the beach and shops/restaurants are a short walk away. The villa is extremely clean however there does seem to be an ant issue in Koh Lanta so we soon learned to keep all food in the fridge. The villa was cleaned once a week and towels/bedding were changed. The pool was cleaned every other day. We were there during the low season so it was very quiet and the beach restaurant was closed so on an evening we had to rely on taxis to get to the restaurants as we wouldn’t walk in the dark. Mr Reem from the town was great, he owns one of the tourist shops and we simply whatsapped him and he’d be there to collect us. He also arranged trips etc to keep us entertained. If I had any criticism it would be contacting the owners, when we had the ant issue, no one replied to my message and I just had to deal with it myself ie purchasing ant powder and throwing away all the food. This was frustrating as a simple reply and advice would have been helpful. I also messaged the owner about the return transfer but in the end organised this myself with Mr Reem. This is a stunning villa and I’d love to stay there again but the management should respond to their guests when they message as this is good customer service. We loved Koh Lanta and will definitely return but next time during high season so that the sea is better for swimming.

Beautiful clean villa with everything we needed. Modern Western design, fully kitted out. Very comfortable. The manager, Nick, was very helpful and easy to get hold of. The outdoor area was perfect, plenty of seating and the private pool was great. It wasn't clear where to put rubbish in the complex, so we did have a bit of a pile. I understand that we went while the weather was a bit hit and miss, but for a private luxury complex the beach took ages to be cleaned, and when it was it was all just pushed into a corner. Considering that when you rent a budget bungalow they spend hours from early morning until the beach is spotless each day this was quite disappointing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views are amazing just steps for the beach. It’s not really swimable but a beautiful view regardless. The home was very clean and set up nicely. Very spacious! Keep in mind this is the bottom story of a large villa with a private pool. There is a restaurant pool just 10 steps away that is also really good to swim in. The beds are SUPER comfortable! Like better than my bed at home comfortable. The kids loved the private pool and great views. Owner was very helpful when we need to schedule excursions with less than 24 hours of notice. The trips were booked for us in 20mins and tickets delivered to our door within an hour. We really enjoyed our stay and would do it again here soon. The only downside was that it smelled like mold. I think being in a tropical place like Thailand, all the places we’ve been to smelled like mold. I’m sensitive to smells but the kids said it smelled too. Otherwise, no other complaints.

John was really helpful before and during our stay as was Nick the property manager. Other than a few teething problems with all new properties, which were solved immediately, our stay was great. My only wish list would be someone to clean the property and poolside (the pool was cleaned) for us to make it more relaxing. We would have paid for this extra service to reduce the housework on holiday. But that did not detract from the stay. It was fantastic. Beach is so close, 30m from house and swimming at high tide was fab. Low tide is rocky by nice for paddling and shell hunting. Moonlight bay next door do a good breakfast and you can walk across the rocks at low ride. Klong Nin only a 50bhat ride away. Lots of nice bars, reasturants and wonderful beach with the best sunsets. Shanti Shanti Reasturant is a 5 min walk away and is the best Sea Bass and food. Thanks John & Nick for making it all so easy for us.
