Great Location
This is a lovely vacation house. Very roomy, incredible backyard. Our contact with the owner before arrival was good. After a day of exploring Hua Hin the backyard and pool felt like paradise.
The location of this villa lends itself very nice for venturing into Hua Hin and the markets. The songtheows are close by and so cheap and easy to use. The local beach is just a short stroll down the road, little restaurants are all close by.
We had trouble with our flight and luggage on arrival so phoned the manager very early in the morning, as we were 7 hours late and she had arranged transport. May have put us on the wrong foot with her for the rest of our trip! The house wasn't very clean, I did buy cleaner and had the manager bring a mop for me to wash the floors. Fridge wasn't cleaned. When we paid for maid service half way during our vacation the lady cleaned very well so I am not sure why it wasn't clean when we arrived, just an oversite I guess. Unfortunately when we arrived the pool pump was not working so the pool was very dirty and unusable for the first 5 days. We weren't informed of this by the owner or manager but by the people who came to work on the pump. Once fixed and cleaned a few times the pool was fantastic although the pump ran over 8 hours a day. The jacuzzi never worked but there was no need for it, the shower was delightful.
I would certainly recommend this villa as I am sure the dirty floors and fridge were just an odd occurrence. It's spacious, lovely garden and flowers, great pool and the perfect location. Oh it's also very quiet.
