Great Experience All Around
This was a trip of a lifetime for my wife's family coming from China. 3 of them had never left the mainland, never seen the ocean and certainly had never lived in a home this grand. For us, the coordination was key and we had very simple communication on car service x3 (1 small from BKK, 1 large next day from BKK and 1 small from DMK). This was easily coordinated and cost was not too high. The home is a little hard to find from the maps as it drops you on the side street and not on the main street with the gate but once we figured that out, we were golden! The home is spotless. Not so much as a scuff on the wall or floor. Our favorites were the 'serve thru' window to the outdoor table. We cooked most breakfasts in the home and ate outside. The pool is perfectly clean and we used it multiple times a day.
The home is an easy walk to some restaurants, inexpensive but quality massage and TOPS grocery. GRAB cars are very available to pick up in this area at any time of day.
Through the awesome villa manager, we booked a 'van for the day' to accommodate our group that took us wherever we wanted. We hit all of the 1-3 hour tourist areas. We also booked a new boat tour which was not private but on the amazing Serenity Yachts. It included 3 stops with white sand beaches, snorkeling, fishing and Monkey Island which was so very unique. The food buffet on board was top tier.
The only caution I would add is that visiting this home will make you want to move there!
