This modern 2 bedroom 3 bathroom single storey villa with private pool is blessed with breath-taking views of the jungle and sea beyond. Recently completed in May 2013, it sits in a quiet cul-de-sac of 7 houses at the top of a beautiful winding private jungle road, it is only 5-10 mins drive from the centre of Chaweng (the main town with all the attractions) and 2 mins (1.6 km) to the main road, from which the nearest beach (Chaweng) can be accessed (via Fair House Hotel) - the longest and most popular beach. I like your stay to be easy, so i provide :- - Free scooter * (subject to rider competency) - Free airport collection - Free mobile phone The house's main advantage is it's wonderful peaceful views and beautiful emerald coloured pool with built-in waterfall.

I like your stay to be easy, so i provide :- - Free scooter * (subject to rider competency) - Free airport collection - Free mobile phone The house's main advantage is it's wonderful peaceful views and beautiful emerald coloured pool with built-in waterfall. The house, pool and patio also have coloured lighting so at night its a fantastic place to party or just relax. Just walking into the house the first thing you see are the panoramic superb views and most people are breath-taken. Just read the reviews... - Shade - there is plenty of outside shade on the terrace for dining, - Lighting - the extra high ceiling in the living room and the blue mood lighting in all the rooms gives a further wow factor, - Kitchen - modern fully functional with granite worktops and large island unit - Floors - trendy polished concrete in the lounge & kitchen floors give a contemporary feel whilst keeping the main room cool, there are comfortable wooden floors in the bedrooms and ample storage with walk-in wardrobes, - Showers - are powerful with modern mixer taps Other features include: - A/C in bedrooms and ceiling fans throughout, including outside - Wi-Fi, Wall mounted flat screen TV with 7 speaker surround sound system - Filtered drinking tap (so no more shopping for water) - Stunning glass handrails on the balcony - Built in safe - Infinity edged pool, + waterfall (waterfall under maintenance at present) - Eco friendly features such as rain water capture & water storage, instant hot water heater units and low energy lighting. Electricity is metered and costs a low price of 5 Baht per unit (averages at approx. 80 baht ( 1.50 GBP per day)). We take a reading at check-in and check-out and calculate the difference. Extra cleaning can be arranged. Extra Laundry (ie. clothes) can be collected, or there is a drop-off laundry close by. Care When Staying :- I live close by so can take care of your needs. We help introduce you to the island's amenities to accelerate the start of your holiday eg. advising restaurants, beaches, taxis, things to do etc including Full Moon Parties, tours around island, boat hire, spa etc. Ready to go :- We try to provide most things for you in the villa so when you step onto the island you are ready to relax. This includes, linen / towels (changed weekly), soaps/shampoos, kitchen utensils, pots and pans, crockery, cleaning materials, pool and house cleaning (weekly), and transport such as airport collections, a free scooter and phone. Car Hire (approx. 900 Baht per day) and others services can be arranged in advance too. Location :- Because the house in in the hills, its best (but not essential) to use your own transport - scooters ideally or a car. The house is 1.6km from the main road, 15 mins drive from the airport and Bangrak, 30 mins from Lipa Noi and 45 mins from Nathon (Seatran mainland ferries). It is barely 5-10 minutes ride from the main bars/nightclubs in Chaweng but peacefully positioned on the outskirts of town a little in the jungle. Transport (car/bike/taxi) is recommended but not essential to get up the not too steep hill to the house from the main ring road. Nearest beach is just at the bottom of the road (approx. 2km). *Terms of the scooter:- Scooter : i will supply a Honda Click Scooter 125cc free of charge. Extra bikes can be arranged 250b per day. Riders must be competent (i may ask you to show me) and hold minimum a car driver's license. Customers are responsible for scooter damage caused and will be billed accordingly. A deposit may be required such as a drivers license or your passport. If you are a novice or have limited experience but still want to try i can give you lessons. Don't be over confident - just ask. Don't feel you have to take a scooter or car. Its just as easy to use public transport, taxis, walk etc because it is all at the bottom of the road. Airport / Port pickup : mostly made by my usual taxi driver Bung, who knows the villa well. He will greet you and take you to the house direct where we will be waiting to greet you and do check-in. If arriving by boat at Nathon (Seatran) or Lipa Noi (Raja) its sometimes easier if you get your own taxi to Fair House Hotel, Chaweng and i can meet you from there. I will pay 500b towards this. Phone : I supply a local mobile so you can contact me - it is a local number. It is also useful to order taxis, food etc. Extra credit can bought from any 7-Eleven / Family Mart convenience store. The 3rd bed (ie. for the 5th person) is a comfortable fold-up single bed and needs to be arranged prior. It goes in the rear bedroom (which already has a queen-sized double). A 6th person staying in the villa is charged at 500b per day. We live nearby so we will look after you during your stay and try to make it your best holiday ever.

2 bedroom villa with a great view
Our family of 5 stayed here for 6 days. After reading previous reviews, we decided to rent a car, which Matt helped us with. I'm so glad we did because even though it wasn't too far from the main road, it did not have a sidewalk and some parts were really steep and pitch black at night, not suitable for walking. The villa's main area had an open layout. The kitchen was fully equipped. We hired Air to cook us dinner one night. Matt suggested not to do this on the last day since we most likely ended up with a lot of left over, this was a great suggestion. We all loved sitting in the patio enjoying the sea view. It was a relaxing vacation. Matt made sure we had a great stay. A small issue with the water heater which was taken care quickly. We'll visit again.

Fantastic villa - challenging location
The villa is awesome. No other words. Pool is stunning. Couldn't want for anymore. Wi FI speed is excellent, TV channels are rubbish. Overall we really enjoyed the villa. The road to the villa is a challenge. Our first trip up the hill we were questioning our decision. Within a day or two we had the road sorted. If you are not going to have a scooter or a car this is not the place for you. The villa is 1.5 - 2km off the ring road and not really walkable. With a scooter its fine, bit more difficult at night with no street lighting but still doable.

The villa is a 5 minute drive to town, the main town and the best town with all the attractions yet it's up a hill away from the noise..the road is steep in parts but not severe. Everybody gets used to it after their first time , even novice drivers and if u don't have transport I have friendly taxi driver. Some Chinese like to walk it too..and those that like that kind of thing. But in truth..nobody walks 100m in Samui..it's too hot and the sun can scorch..So everybody has transport..their own scooter, car or access to one. So I think the location is a perfect compromise. And others would agree because all the land around has suddenly been sold and built on. The tranquillity high up with views of everywhere at night is fantastically romantic. Transport is small price to pay for such an formidable event. Matt

Perfect!
Our stay at the Sawadee Sea View was perfect! The view was breath taking, villa very comfortable and well appointed with every thing you would need for your stay. Matt was really friendly and helpful. We used his bike during our stay and it was a quick ride to restaurants and the beach. Koi Samui is such a beautiful little island and we would definitely re book the villa again. Great value for money paid. Thanks Matt

Lovely villa and beautiful views
Our family stayed at Sawadee Sea View villa and had a great time. It's nicely furnished with a lovely pool. Matt (owner) really looked after us, suggesting places to visit and arranged car hire. We couldn't fault it!

Jolie villa à la fois "havre de paix" et pourtant proche de l'agitation de Chaweng
Cette villa est vraiment pratique et idéale pour 4 personnes. Elle se situe au bout d'une route un peu pentue (2kms environ de la route principale) et permet d'avoir non seulement une vue superbe sur la mer mais aussi un sentiment de paix (loin de l'agitation de Chaweng et ses klaxons). C'est donc un bon point de départ pour la découverte de l'ile (en voiture ou en 2roues). Il y a d'autres villas (louées à des touristes) à côté et nous avons eu la chance d'avoir des voisins calmes (on les entendais mais sans excès). La climatisation ne nous a pas été nécessaire car on peut bien ventiler les pièces. Matthew est un propriétaire vraiment dévoué et de bon conseil pour les bons plans restos. Nous avons apprécié avoir une cuisine "comme à la maison" avec tout l'équipement nécessaire. La literie est excellente, et tout est fourni (serviettes de bain aussi) avec un ménage pendant la semaine. Bref, nous recommandons vivement !!!

No surprises
We were very happy to discover this property was pretty well exactly as described so were completely satisfied. It is located about a mile up a twisty track from the main ring road in a quiet cul de sac of houses but well situated for the bright lights of Cha weng. The scooter is essential and great fun. Thai drivers are very polite and drive around the island was no problem. It cost about 25Bhat per day for fuel. We discussed with Matt the idea of a visitors book in which people could record suggestions/experiences they may have to help enjoy the island more. A written list of household instructions might also be helpful. A good property as described above.

Outstanding Home
My wife and I traveled to Koh Samui in June looking for a place which was close the the more popular beaches and nightlife, but far enough to have some privacy. This home FAR EXCEEDED out expectations. Using the scooter (which came with the residence), we could get to Chaweng beach in 5 minutes and were only 10 minutes or so away from the Tesco, which came in handy for purchasing groceries. The lodging and amenities is as advertised. The home was well equipped and we found it to be very spacious. The outdoor pool was an added bonus at the end of days touring and shopping. Matt was not physically present during our stay, but he made sure people were on hand to make our arrival easy. He was also sure to check in periodically (provided us with a cell phone) to ensure all of our needs were met and provide recommendations for touring/dining/shopping etc. My wife commented that this is the BEST vacation she's ever had and one of the highlights was this home. We'd visit again in a heartbeat! Thanks Matt for being a wonderful host!

FORMIDABLE !!!!
Je viens ajouter à la longue liste de compliments déjà présents le mien... Tout juste de retour en France du 24 mars, nous avons séjourné 9 jours dans cette magnifique villa vue mer. Les photos parlent d'elles mêmes, elle est juste parfaite cette villa, très bien placée, accès rapide à la grande route (nous avons l'habitude de nous déplacer en scoot). Rien ne manque pour notre confort et Matthew est là pour tout...il est très très accueillant, vous avez un souci...une demande pour une sortie en mer...appeler Matthew. Magnifique séjour ( trop court bien sur) à Sawadee Sea View Un grand merci encore une fois à Matthew pour sa gentillesse... Nathalie

About the neighbourhood
The house is situated in a quiet spot in the hills but just a few minutes from the main town Chweng which offers shopping, restaurants , bars and nightlife such as the famous Soi Green Mango. Many young people like to use the Island as a base to go by speedboat to the famous 'Full Moon Parties' at Koh Phanang too. (just 800 bhat return journey) For the adventurous there are mountains, diving, waterfalls, elephant riding, bike riding, crocodile zoos etc. amongst many activities to explore. For those looking for tranquility there are many empty beaches to explore especially the far side of the island (Bang Por). Thai people don't go to the beach because they prefer to stay out of the sun so most beaches are very quiet. For those looking for treatment, remedies, spa's , massage , therapies etc. there is perhaps more choice than anywhere in the world. And for fine dining there is an increasing array of beautiful restaurants to go. The weather is the best thing about Samui...always warm day and night but never too hot. It is always around 28-32C day and 25C at night. It does not rain alot but when it does you know about it! The rainy season is typically mid October to mid December and hottest temperatures around March/April but there isn't too much fluctuation year round. Always t-shirt and shorts weather, even in the rain at night!
Access
Car advised
How to get there
Flights Take a flight to Bangkok and then fly Bangkok Airways to Koh Samui. (nb. This is the preferred route. There is no point using others routes unless you have plenty of time). or a cheaper domestic flight route is Bangkok to Suratthani (approx.1300bhat), Suratthani airport by bus to Donsak port (1 hour), and use the ferry (90 min. crossing) to Nathon port (45 mins from Chweng) in Koh Samui but this takes approx. 4 hours more time. And ferries don't run at night. Other airports not too far : Krabi. There are also direct flights from Pattaya and Phuket (both mainland) or international: Singapore and Kuala Lumpa. And Lomprayah (a local transport company) do a useful sea cat / bus journey to Bangkok via Koh Tao. Bus There are many overnight buses from Bangkok etc. (from 700b) Train Also there is an overnight sleeper train to Suratthani from Bangkok. Scooters Scooter or car hire is recommended being up a hill. 125cc Scooter is the preferred mode of transport in Thailand, they rent for approx 200-300 bhat per day (approx. £5) or less for long-term. This we can organise for you.
