My Villa stay
The property was marvelous, very clean, roomy and a private location. It is not to far from the hustle and bustle in Hua Hin. The owners were only a phone call away if you needed anything, they were very pleasant hosts and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I highly recommend it.

Well equipped villa in well maintained, quiet, secure complex.
The villa is well equipped and comfortable. It is located in a quiet area around 20 minutes north of downtown Hua Hin, within a well maintained, secure complex, with a beautiful big community pool. The gym is small, but functional. The community cafe is more of an admin base and sells only water and coke, but there are plenty of small shops nearby. It is easy to walk to the shops and to the nearest restaurants (if you are active). The nearest restaurant is Nr Nice (20 min walk) - he sells the best mango smoothie in Hua Hin! A 5 minute drive will take you down into the local community area, with a 7/11 shop and a host of local thai stalls and shops. A further 5 minutes will take you to a big Makro store for all grocery shopping. If you like yoga, there is a yoga studio close to Makro which offers a great variety of classes (Triyoga). The location of the villa means that you really need a car or scooters to get around. We hired a car on arrival, but would recommend you do this in advance to get the best deal and ensure availability. The roads are easy to navigate, and parking was simple as there are few restrictions in Thailand! The hosts (John & Martin) were excellent in their communication, and were present to greet us on arrival and at departure. During our stay, a fan broke and was replaced immediately by the hosts. We enjoyed the feline company of Jitters and Tigger.......such lovely cats! However both cats spend a lot of time outside, so don't be concerned if you are not a cat lover! All in all, the villa offers a lovely, quiet space to rest, while exploring the local area. It is good value for money and John & Martin are great hosts!

Very nice place and extremely nice landlords
Nice and clean house, 3 bedrooms each with its own bathroom and a great pool. Very quiet area, but still in a good distance to downtown. You need transportation though. Hiring a car, motorcycle or use a taxi to get to town. We stayed there with our Teenage daughters, and even they enjoyed the time :-). Not to forget the two cats are very sweet. They stayed outside unless you wanted them to come in.

Great 8 night stay
Lovely 3 bedroom villa, friendly owners made check in easy. Well stocked kitchen had everything needed to eat at home. Original plan had been to use the villa as a base and go to eat in Hua Him most nights. In fact stayed in every one of the 8 nights and cooked or BBQd. Fresh and very cheap fish and meat available from nearby Macro and all the Thai herbs, spices, veggies and fresh eggs from the ladies under the plastic awnings opposite the nearby 7/11. Didn't have a car but would get a bike next time. Used Willie the recommended taxi guy for trips to the beach. He was reliable and helpful. Pool is large and kept spotless by a pool and yard cleaner who comes every couple of days. Pool has a jacuzzi. Used the gym at the development, it has everything needed. Wifi good speed too. Enjoyed the stay very much Thanks John and Martin

Very relaxing week
We had a very pleasant stay at this beautiful Villa. John and Martin were perfect hosts, and we fehlt home right from the start . Our children loved the pool- and our skin too, because it is salty, no chlorine. John and Martin recommended Wille as a driver - a very good choice, since he was very reliable and helpful. He even drove us on his birthday evening to the bus station. All together we had a wonderful and quiet week, eagerly needed to calm down after a few days in Bangkok and to start relaxing.

Great Family Stay
We had a wonderful stay at the villa. The three large bedrooms with nice attached bathrooms were plenty for our group of 6. The kitchen was sufficiently equipped for cooking meals for my daughter. The pool is beautiful. As mentioned in the other reviews, transportation is needed to get to places in Hua Hin. John and Martin are lovely people and hosts. They helped us secure a great driver (Willy) with a van perfect for our group.

A wonderful place
I stayed there for three weeks. The house was wonderful. The kitchen had everything. The private house pool was a good size, and the community pool was huge. The gym was adequate. I enjoyed the quietness. If you do stay here, you are going to need transportation - taxi, rental car, or rental scooter. The vacation was very relaxing. I had no issues with the stay. When I had a question, I would email John and he would respond promptly. He knew the locations of where to go for anything. He gave me a GREAT location to walk/exercise which was the viewpoint . I ate the local food, but there are plenty of places to eat European food. You are about a 10-15 minute drive from downtown Hua Hin depending on traffic. The two cats (Tigger and Jitters) at the house are wonderful pets. They are extremely friendly and they are not needy. I would recommend this place to a friend.

Beautiful Hua Hin Villa
The Villa is very well appointed and I doubt if you would need something that has not already been provided by the owners. My children enjoyed the stay so much that they asked if we can return on their next school break which I hope to do. They obviously really enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. It is a short commute to the main road into Hua Hin town centre with access to all the attractions but there are also local restaurants if that is your preference. I would highly recommend this holiday villa.

A spacious comfortable house with wow factor outside areas.
The property is in a gated community outside of Hua Hin, and for us it was a little too far. We hadn't realised beforehand that this is John and Martin's main home, so they move out when visitors come. I'm not sure we would have chosen it had we known this in advance. On the plus side, the outside areas of the villa are really lovely - there are several different sitting areas, and it is beautifully kept, with the pool being cleaned every other day. The house itself we would describe as comfortable, rather than luxurious. John and Martin were very helpful and popped round often, and the cats were very cute!

Thanks for your review Steve & pleased you were 'wowed' by the outside spaces at the villa, very important in a tropical climate. Because we live here when we don't have guests staying, many have told us & most appreciate that the house is furnished & cared for better than many holiday lets, therefore we are left a little perplexed that you would probably not have booked had you known we stayed here, why we wonder. Most of the quality Villas in Hua Hin are situated 6/12 kilometers from the centre, ours is 6 kilometers about a 15 minute drive, and we of course put all this information in our advert so customers know exactly what to expect. The upside is we are in a very tranqil enviroment, but only a short distance into town. Hope you enjoyed your time in Bangkok.

Very nice!
Hua Hin is a nice place to be and the villa even more. We got what we expected, a villa with pool, three bedrooms, air condition… But additionally a very friendly and professional service from the owners (by renting motor cycles, finding restaurants and so on. Always available for questions and support!). The villa itself is clean and furnished like a home, that made as fell like at home from the first moment on. We will be back!

This villa was absolutely perfect in every way, a comfortable and stylish home from home.
This is a beautiful villa, stylish, well thought out and comfortable.. it was very obvious that this is first and foremost John and Martin's home rather than an impersonal holiday let and that care shines through. It is in a really peaceful position at the edge of the compound, but close by car or bike to plenty of local life. We had a fantastic time, the cats were a delight, proper outdoor characters that adopted us for cuddles and strokes. The whole place was perfectly equipped, especially the provision of a mobile phone.. do order take away from the nearby restaurants.. great food and fantastic value. We also used Willie (via John and Martin) to drive us to many places, he was great fun and quite reasonably priced but above all reliable.. it made the holiday so much more relaxing. He even organised our Bangkok transfer at either end of the holiday. This really is a top quality villa, and is exactly as the pictures and details portray, it is very peaceful and comes with the added bonus of some fantastic people who are there if you need them but leave you well alone to enjoy the splendour of this property.. We have stayed in many luxury properties around the world but this outstanding.

Loved it, modern, warm, inviting, detail put in to make it a tropical paradise to escape to!
Both hosts john/Martin looked after everything we needed, some wonderful touches like a preprogrammed phone to help you with transfers and taxis really allow you worry free holidaying,four bikes on site allowed our family to make the most of the local area! As I have said the property is a holiday oasis which should not be missed, under priced in my opinion ! Hosts are great and a local link to their friend Willie is such a great idea to enable you to experience the tropical countryside , enabling you by day to really switch off if you want, but just a call away you can get to all of the local spots at a great price with the local knowledge thrown in! In my opinion if you are after the best of both worlds, luxury high end accommodation coupled with rural peace and tranquility, but still want to get a taste of all the local culture by day or night you should look no further as you have found what you are looking for with this property as you get all that and the support of the hosts!

Lovely Villa
We really enjoyed our time at the villa. The pool was a godsend, and beautifully maintained. The weather is very humid and hot in July (we knew that), but the pool made it bearable. We swam every day! The house was clean and all the details of our stay were taken care of by John and Martin. They even provided a place to call for delivery Thai food. Very thoughtful! We loved having the cats around to greet us when we came back everyday from exploring Thailand.

Lovely villa with all the mod cons you could hope for to set you up for a very relaxing holiday
We were highly influenced in booking this villa by all the previous positive reviews - rest assured they are accurate. The listing description was totally as we found the villa. John and Martin could not have possibly been more wonderful hosts. They offered to arrange transfers for us from our previous hotel in Pattaya. They were there to meet us when we arrived (and the villa was very generously stocked with a welcome pack to get through the first night until we could shop the next day), and explained how things worked (eg Satellite "expat TV" with a plethora of English language options, internet, jacuzzi operation etc). They also recommended the driver service of a friend of theirs, Wille, who was extremely professional and organised all our travel arrangements for us at prices equal to what you could find on the streets, and he spoke excellent English. The villa comes with a mobile phone so you can call John/Martin/Wille, or order take away (which can be delivered). Very handy for any overseas visitors who don't want to incur roaming charges. John & Martin were close enough that if we needed them, they'd pop over in no time, but otherwise they left us to ourselves. Once we called for advice on how to get our daughter's ear infection best attended to. How's this for going the extra mile - Martin took my husband down on his moped to a chemist to pick up some antibiotics! We'd had 9 days in the eyebrow raising town of Pattaya, so the purpose of this villa location for us was a quiet wind-down before we flew home. It was the perfect choice. Most days we hung around the villa for the day, swimming in the pool, reading books or watching a movie, then called Wille and headed into town about 5ish to check out one of the night markets and have dinner. The villa has 2 cats who I'm pleased to say survived my 9 year old son stalking, picking up & playing with at every opportunity. Cicada market was great option of cheap food stalls that you felt safe eating (we're pretty cautious about eating street food when travelling, but this was clearly clean & hygenic). Also the night market. We ate at Bird Chilli - located within the night market itself. Great seafood. Vana Nava Water Park Hua Hin was a hit with the whole family - we spent nearly a whole day there. go on a week day. Thank you John & Martin for such a lovely visit. We felt very welcome. See you next time we're in Hua Hin!

Just a 3* Villa, not a Luxury Villa
We had our stay at this Villa in March 2016. Our expectations to come in a 5* Villa have not been satisfied. The Villa is 8-10 years old and all equipment around and in the Villa looks very "used". There is an urgent need to renew dishwasher, washing machine, bed and sun-bed mattresses and also sanitary fittings. Cleaning and pool service was quite poor. The area around the pool has been never cleaned in our time and therefore results dirty feet when walking barefoot. One of the showers/toilets smelled incredible when you have showered so that you have to escape the room. After 7 days owners cleaned the drain and odur stopped. All these impressions should normally justfied a refund of a part of our rent-payment, but what we have got is a reduction of our damage deposit due to the fact, that we have damage two glases of the anyway very poor equipped outfitting of glases in the Villa. The cats at the villa are a matter of taste, if you like to sit at the same place where the cats are sleeping and sometimes you will find bloody parts of their killed preys at your dinner patio. We have been several times in Phuket at really 5* Villas before we have rent this Villa, so we can compare what we have seen. John and Martin are very nice and helpful guys, but we just can recommend the Villa as a 3* and not a Luxury Villa. All in all we have played nice Golf courses around Hua Hin and had wonderful days at the Beaches and we are now very relaxed back in cold Germany.

Sorry our villa did not quite live up to your expectations & we will try to address your comments. Equipment in and around the villa does get used of course and we always ensure its in good working order, but regrettably it can't be new for every guest. We checked the dishwasher twice when you reported it was not working, and on both occasions it worked for us, however after your departure we did find it was malfunctioning and had a new one installed in time for our next guests. The washing machine is only 2 years old & is working just fine, as are the bed & outside sun bed mattresses, no broken springs, tears etc. so not quite sure what your problem was here, however no mentioned was made during your stay. All the bathrooms were re tiled with new sanitary ware 3 years ago, and our past guests have only had positive things to say about them, however if they are not done to your taste, that we can understand, but there condition is good. Maid, pool cleaning & gardening services were provided for you 3 times each week, and again no mention was made at the time of any dirt problem around the pool area or dissatisfaction with the cleaning both inside the villa & on the terraces, and had there been we would have taken action straightaway to rectify it. When you reported a strong unpleasant odour coming from one of the bathrooms we came to investigate, but could not smell anything ourselves. It was only on the 7th.day when we visited again & you happened to be in that you said the smell only happened when the shower had been on for a few minutes, so we tested it & yes there was a strong smell. We immediately had the pipes flushed through, which solved the problem. Again had you told us that the smell only occurred after the shower had been on a while, we could have rectified matters earlier. You either enjoy animal company or not, but the vast majority of our guests love having Tigger & Jitters around & they are a very effective rodent control. The other side of that is of course they will sometimes bring there catch back to one of the terraces, but its impossible to control their natural instinct. You were to leave money for the broken glasses in the villa, you didn't so we had to deduct a very small amount from your breakage deposit. The many glasses in the villa are normal standard quality, & I doubt you will find cut crystal in any rental villas, however had there been you would have been looking at considerably more deduction.
