This is our 2nd time in this villa and we love it. The location is wonderful right on the beach. It has a nice garden and an excellent porch. The Villa is very comfortable and well equipped. We love the quiet and the beautiful view. There are a few good restaurants nearby and you can order food from many other restaurants in grab. The service is also very good.

“I would recommend this property and if in return to Koh Samui, I would stay here again.”
We loved our stay at The Natives Samui. We’re a family of 4 and we found the accommodation very spacious. Large living area, kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathroom. We loved the outside balcony area with sea views - A gorgeous spot to relax. This is not a fancy resort, it’s a beautiful traditional Thai beach villa and we loved it. It’s basic but that adds to its charm. Staff were lovely and friendly. Easy check in and check out. The area is quiet but perfect for some down time - We spent 4 nights here and then 4 nights in Koh Samui in a busier area, it was a lovely mix. Property is beach front, the beach is narrow in-front of the property but we sat there watching the sunset a few times. Walk to either left or right on the beach and the beach widens to allow for sunbathing etc. The property has a couple of kayaks which are free to use, which was nice. A handful of restaurants in walking distance, very traditional Thai restaurants (delicious food and cheap) which only added to our experience in this lovely area.

“Beautiful place to stay, but expect a few very minor quirks”
Beautiful location, villa and gardens. Right on the beach. Very comfortable beds allowed some of the best nights sleep I've had in ages, well, with the help of the night sounds that could be heard all around. Fully air conditioned. Mosquito nets, and other little things that just made our stay comfortable. Very good size accommodation. Great views from the bedroom. Very safe location and family friendly. Close enough to the busy areas like 'Fisherman's village', only a short drive (8km) (with hiring a car or motorbike) but far enough away to not have the late loud nights

“A great home from home.”
That’s are very spacious properties with high quality furnishings. Perfect for a home from home type stay. Completely private and in close proximity to shops and restaurants. It’s right on the sea front but not necessarily a beach. Housekeeping is good and there a a bakery on site providing great cakes, breads and coffee. A car or scooter is a must with this property if you want to explore the island. There is a local company, BM Travel, just around the corner who are helpful, friendly and trustworthy who can see to all logistical needs.

“Simply amazing!”
Amazing place! We have booked it by accident, just after arriving to Koh Samui, but we never regretted it. When we got there, we were immediately enchanted with the place. Charming, stylish houses hidden between the trees, right at the beach. We had house in the second row, but it only added to the sense of privacy. Great terrace with vintage fans allowing for relaxing evening, well equipped house with comfortable furniture. Great bakery on the spot offering hot bread, rolls, cakes and whatever you may like for breakfast, friendly and helpful hosts and staff. What else you might want? We will miss this place... If you seek sterile, state-of-the-art hotel with all modern amenities - go somewhere else. If you want privacy, nature, relax, quiet neighbourhood and friendly atmosphere, and you don't care if some of the appliances do not work exactly like they should - that's place for you. Thank You! P.S. Shops, restaurants etc. are within 15-20 min walking distance, so you should consider renting a car or scooter, for your comfort. Hosts without problem will help you finding reliable provider.

Wonderful terrace and garden, beach access, accommodation right on the beaxh with beautiful sea view. Great location walking distance from the beach restaurants and other beach with better access to the sea. The villa is older but it has an atmosphere of coziness and Thai paradise. Very helpful and nice staff. Definitely recommended.

“Paradise”
I thought it was a little slice of paradise. I loved the gardens, they were beautiful and made each property seem more private. We all liked the pool especially as the water was cold, we needed that after a very hot day. The beach looked stunning and we enjoyed using the kayaks. There are some very good and affordable restaurants very near to the property. I liked being so close to the beach, which meant we could walk along the beach to get lunch or dinner. The sunsets were amazing. The breakfasts were great.

“Just wonderful. We can't wait to go back.”
Wonderful property in a less touristy and more authentic part of the island with most of the necessary amenities near by for a quiet and leisurely holiday: a few restaurants within walking distance, 7/11 convenience store, etc. Exceptional Internet connection, marvelous landscaping, cleanliness, ocean views. We rented scooters for much of our stay with only further expanded our autonomy and enjoyment. Staff are sweet, prompt, competent and very discreet. Breakfast is just splendid. The bungalow was spacious with one closed bedroom and one open/loft bedroom upstairs with spectacular views of the ocean.
