Stunning villa
The villa was stunning and luxurious. The views were beautiful. All the rooms were very big, clean, and modern. We enjoyed the recommended private chefs and had an amazing traditional Thai dinner. We had a few issues with the air conditioning, but the staff were incredible and quick to help solve our issues. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at the villa. We would definitely recommend it for a quiet and relaxing getaway in Koh Samui!

Amazing views and beautiful property
Stunning property with amazing views. Very clean. All the amenities that you need. Villa manager was very helpful and the check in process easy. The beach is only a 5 min walk and very quiet. Definitely hire a car as it is too far to walk to the main areas. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful Views from Elevated, Comfortable Villa
Overall, our stay in this villa was very nice. The view is certainly spectacular, and the walk to the beach was short (though a bit strenuous).
But I have to agree with a previous review... we were not told in advance that we would have an additional charge at the conclusion of our stay for electricity usage. This came as a huge shock to us and resulted in an unexpected extra expense just to keep the place at a reasonably cool and comfortable level. Pretty much a low-class move on ownership's part.
We were also lead to believe that we could walk to shops and restaurants. Completely false... unless you're OK with a 30+ minute walk up and down hills in the heat. And trust me, you'll find yourself miserable if you were faced with walking back to the villa in the dark. So do yourself a favor... rent a car (thankfully we did!).
The on-site property management is quite nice and very helpful. The villa was clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen could certainly use a newer coffee machine and a few other items, but it pretty much met our needs.
I can recommend staying in this villa, but only do so if you have a rental car.

Luxury apartment but slightly misleading in descriptions .
Stayed here with friends for our first week. lovely apartment but not quiet as we expected in a few areas of online descriptions .
Firstly , itâs Quiet a distance from main areas a taxi ride each night at a cost of 400 baht each way if you are wanting to venture out to visit /see local areas with restaurants/ bar/ massage etc . there are two restaurants down the âsteepâ hill from apartment, We tried one, was ok. you can order food in , which we did on arrival which was lovely and manager Jum was excellent at organising for us . However we hadnât planned on staying in each night.
Secondly, not quiet as the online pictures show the apartments outside area , whilst having lovely views of the small beach below leads you to believe that you have privacy , this is not so as you are actually over looked by at least 3 other apartments to the side and above you . Apartment being mainly glass you felt like you were being observed most of the time whilst eating inside or relaxing on the patio area. A big disappointment for us all was apparently at this time of the year the patio area only gets the sun for around 2/3 hours a day, the rest of the time itâs in the shade.
The pool is really only a cooling off pool,, so we headed down to the beach This is smaller than depicted in the photos and mostly set out for the villas and hotel behind it. There are no sun beds for the public to hire and only a small stretch of beach for you to use as when we required if we could hire sunbeds we were told only for hotel guests . This area of the beach was kept lovely and clean but the other end was quiet dirty with rubbish.
Finally , although the information regarding the apartment informs you that electricity is an âextraâ fee, we strongly felt that it should have been included in rental price initially, as after being informed by manager on arrival that we should keep use to a minimum otherwise we could expect a large fee at the end of our stay , we were slightly paranoid about our usage , not putting air con on when really we could have done with it etc.
Maybe this is a âcleverâ way of the ownerâs highlighting peopleâs usage , but I think that if they were to have included their â concerns â in the welcome folder most people whom rent the apartment would be mindful in their use of the electricity. It certainly left us all âdaily â worrying that weâd Possibly over used It . ( not at all relaxing )
Final Mutual agreement was nice but not for us.

Paradise in Koh Samui
We had amazing time in Koh Samui. The property is stunning, and the concierge service offered with the condo is out of this world. They booked restaurants for us, ordered a car service any time we needed it, and also arranged for a masseuse to the condo everyday. We hope to return to this stunning condo. The view is out of this world, and the bedding is very comfortable. Great outdoor living space!

Lovely Villa With Stunning Views
The villa was everything we hoped for. The views are stunning and we spent many happy hours on the terrace overlooking the bay. The property is well managed and kept spotlessly clean by the management company. The managers are friendly and respond quickly to requests. The only reason we gave 4 stars instead of five was because of building work nearby which was a slight nuisance at times. Would recommend without hesitation.
Alles in Allem ein sehr schönes Haus. Wir hatten als Langzeitmieter von einem Monat eine gute Zeit.Das Haus hat eine top Lage, wenn man seine Ruhe haben möchte und ist grosszĂŒgig ausgestattet.Die Terrasse, der Infinitypool und die dortigen SonnenuntergĂ€nge sind traumhaft.Wir wĂŒrden gern 5 Sterne geben, hatten aber einigen Themen vor Ort. Das wichtigste ist aber, dass alle Themen umgehend gelöst wurden.Das Team vor Ort rund um Jum ist sehr gut und man bekommt innerhalb weniger Minuten eine RĂŒckmeldung.Es bleibt ein wenig die Erinnerung, dass wir Dinge zu klĂ€ren hatten. Aus unserer Sicht sollte zumindest ein gewisser Grundverbrauch des Stromes fĂŒr das Haus inkludiert sein.Alles in Allem eine Empfehlung!
Das sehr gepflegte und luxuriös ausgestattete Objekt liegt am Samrong Beach mit Blick auf die Bucht, das Six Senses Hotel und auf Koh Phangan.
Die Einrichtung lĂ€sst nichts zu wĂŒnschen ĂŒbrig, auch den Pool finden wir sehr schön. Die Reinigung und der Service vor Ort ist ausgezeichnet, das Personal sehr nett.
Wir waren schon zum zweiten Mal da und wĂŒrden auch erneut wieder hinfahren.
Villassa on neljÀ makuuhuonetta, joista kahdesta upea merinÀköala. Siivous oli joka toinen pÀivÀ. Sateisille pÀiville löytyi viihdykkeeksi pingispöytÀ, iso tv ja videopelejÀ. LÀhellÀ pari perusravintolaa, joissa toisessa biljardi. VieressÀ ranta ja hierontapaikka. Taksin sain helposti tilattua ja sen tarvitsi moneen paikkaan, sillÀ villa on sen verran syrjÀssÀ. Rauhallinen, turvallinen alue. Yhteydenpito toimi loistavasti. Oma uima-alas oli mahtava ja terassialue viihtyisÀ.

Sehr schöne und gepflegte Villa
Wir haben schon in mehreren Villen gewohnt, diese war aber deutlich die schönste.
Die Lage ĂŒber der Samrong Bay ist hervorragend. Gestört hat uns der BaulĂ€rm, da direkt hinter der Villa ein Neubau entsteht. Der ist aber in absehbarer Zeit abgeschlossen. Trotzdem wĂ€re es schön gewesen, das vorher zu wissen. Daher nur 4-Sterne bei Lage/Umgebung, sonst auch hier klare 5-Sterne.
Die Villa ist stilvoll eingerichtet, alles so, wie man es auf den Fotos sieht. Die Einrichtung ist hochwertig, die Betten sind sehr bequem. Auch die KĂŒche ist sehr umfangreich eingerichtet. Alles bestens.
Sehr gut ist, dass man auf der Terrasse immer sonnige oder schattige PlÀtze hat. Der Pool ist ebenfalls super. Wer zur Samrong Bay möchte: nur ein kurzer Fussweg, lohnt sich ebenfalls.
Keine Probleme beim check-in und check-out. Zur Reinigung kommen mehrere ServicekrÀfte, das geht sehr schnell und ist wirklich gut.
Wir wĂŒrden die Villa jederzeit wieder buchen.
We just returned from our 8 night stay in Samui @ Villa Vanilla with our kids ages 15,12 & 6. It was just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! We did not know what to expect in the reality, as usually photos are edited for the best content. But this time it was quite the opposite. The pictures are just not good enough to describe and show off the place. The moment you walk up the stairs to the first floor for the first time and look around with a wide grin on your face. The villa, the view, the pool with the outdoor sound system, everything is perfect. Waking up in the bedroom with the bay view...just WOW! Also great privacy. We stayed in some fancy hotels before and believe me, this place is not lacking anything vs the $$$$$ hotels worldwide. It's furnished and equipped just how we would have do it ourselves. Location is a bit off from the town, but scooters will get you anywhere and they are fun to drive there. The beach and the bay are very nice as well. Sandy, cleaned and maintained daily with very few people around, if you like it quiet. Two minutes walk from the villa or a 25 second scooter drive. Best villa in the area - will definitely come back. And big thanks to Jeff who just couldn't do enough to keep our stay even better. Double check if there is construction going around before you go, or it will be noisy.
