Host was great helpful and easy to deal with. House was comfortable

For only two people this house is definitely too big. We knew it from the beginning, but its surroundings made us to decide to go there anyway for nearly 2 weeks. And we did not regret our decision.From the very beginning – the one way transfer from Phuket airport is included and very easy – we felt at home in this nice house: A big and clean pool, with a well maintained garden to observe squirrels and chipmunks as well as many exotic birds. Additional due to sufficient ameneties in the kitchen there is everything to make your stay very comfortable. Since my wife has some problems with shiftet disks the state of the mattresses are important for her. And they where indeed extremly comfortable causing a good quality sleep. From the house you need to walk only less than 10 minutes to reach everything. Small supermarkets, the night market (for us a little too much on the touristtrap side), lots of nice restaurants, a small but interesting tsunami museum and the pleasant beach. So the time we had there went by very fast. To a most likely self induced problem with a door lock from our side we got very fast help from the housekeeper and the entire communication with the owner was friendly and helpful. So although this house is „oversizing“ us by far we definitely would choose it again when deciding to return to Khao Lak. So Jackie, thank you very much having us there. We had a wonderful time,Wiebke and Bernd

Nice house with big rooms so it’s easy to share with big families or friends. Great pool area and near both the beach and restaurants and shops.

Houses/Villas are hard to find in Khoa Lak as most accommodation is based within a resort. The house is situated in a private location just behind the main Market which is held 3/ 4 times a week. It's an easy walk to the bars and restaurants as well as the beach. Lucky, the dog who has decided to live at the house (outside), is delightful and no bother at all. The best view is from the back of the house. It's great to watch the birds and other wildlife. The front of the house looks on to the back of a large hotel which is not so inviting. There is a Burmese camp just down the road towards the beach which looks a little disconcerting at first. It's for the construction workers. We had no problem at all, the people were friendly. It was just sad to see the conditions they have to live in. The house itself is a little tired. The kitchen is OK but needs new cupboard doors, worktops etc. When it was first built it looks like they used good quality fixtures and fitting throughout but it is now ready for an update/ refurb . I was a little disappointed as the photos must have been taken a long time ago. The lovely Jacuzzi bath is very interesting as it's impossible to get in. It's so high up and doesn't have any steps. A word of warning, the electricity bill, at the end of your stay can be a shock. I'm used to air conditioning etc as I have a house of my own in a hot climate and even using it very frugally, just two people, over 18 days our bill was approx £100. The pool filter is the problem as it needs to run 18 hours a day to keep the water in good condition. The pool is great but it's a challenge to keep the water right to swim and we had a couple of days when it wasn't good. If you are a large group please note there is limited room around the pool and only 3 main sun loungers. I had high hopes for this house as the communication from the owner was first class, although somewhat instructional. We have rented many times, via this site and in many countries and in a couple of instances returned to the same Villa. This is our first time in Thailand. We loved it and will return next year but not to this house which probably summarises this review.
