A private word of the owners: "...We have only started renting out this property recently, having owned it since 2002. We have used it ourselves with many friends and family several times over that period. Everyone who has stayed has enjoyed their time there immensely, "paradise", "tranquility" and "hate to leave" being frequently used descriptors. The name of the property translates as "House of our Dreams" and it has proved to be so...".

A beautiful piece of paradise. I've stayed at numerous villas in the Nai Harn area and can confirm categorically that this villa is the most beautiful, well appointed and well situated. From the arrival letter, to the thoughtful fridge of goodies............from the well stocked bookshelves, to the telescope in the study............this villa has it all. Alongside a superb outlook across the infinity pool to the lagoon and a folder full of suggestions for places to visit and enjoy this villa is big, beautiful and a slice of luxury too. if you are looking for somewhere to while away your time..........a true home from home.........look no further.

Luxury villa, quiet, private and fantastic owners. This luxury villa is a must for anyone who values privacy and a quiet stay. From the off the owners were very easy to deal with, always willing to answer questions and sending all the right info for paying the deposit etc.  3 fantastic double bedrooms, a huge lounge area with entertainment centre, full kitchen,bikes, table tennis, a lovely private study with internet access, books everywhere in case you forget yours, an honest home from home. The lovely thing is Shari and Phil invite you to share their home and enjoy their piece of paradise.  The pool is fantastic too. After chasing around Phuket site seeing we would walk into the pool at 4pm and stay in until dark, lovely. There are plenty of restaurants to enjoy just 5 mins away, our fav being the Ruen Thai. Stay here and you won't want to leave. A big thanks to Shari and Phil for letting us stay. 10/10  [Mike C, UK, April 2012]

What a truly lovely villa. Perfectly fitted out and maintained but so homely as well. We thought that the bottle of wine in the welcome pack was a really hospitable touch and truly welcoming. Made us feel as if we were staying in the home of friends. Likewise the nice touch of toiletries in the bathroom. The situation is perfect, but would recommend car hire to enjoy it to the full. Also felt very safe and comfortable, private but not isolated. Watching the wild life around the lake is a full time job in itself!!! All in all, a perfect place for a perfect holiday - a little bit of paradise!!!!! [Doreen P, UK, March 2012]

"If there is a heaven on earth, then this must be the place. Truly a home away from home. Beautifully furnished villa with inviting swimming pool, wonderful garden, ponds full of fish. Everything you could ever want in a holiday. Total tranquility and privacy. A must for everyone to experience once in a lifetime. I highly recommend this incredible rental.  [Irene Chamay, Switzerland, March 2012]"

Are there enough superlatives to describe this place? I wonder. It’s the most beautiful three bedroom/three and a half bathroom villa, tastefully furnished with a glossy infinity pool overlooking perfectly manicured gardens and lake. Normally the whole idea of staying in a gated community would fill me with dread but I must say that this place felt very different. It was more like a plush and high-end residential suburb close to all amenities. Tropical tree lined avenues laced with exotic birds and colourful butterflies.
We were a party of 5 adults and there was heaps of space for us all. Going at peak time meant that we avoided the busy hotel scene for a more discerning and boutique experience at the rental house.We were VERY happy that we may this decision.The bedrooms are very generous and light-filled, beds big and comfy with excellent linen and the bathrooms are spotless and top quality. The pool was regularly maintained by a team of discrete and friendly pool cleaners, as was the garden along with the villa itself.
The villa has EVERYTHING, so pack light. Moreover, the finishings are top notch and reflect very stylish taste. Aside from an open plan kitchen/dining/living area that spills out onto the pool area, there is also a separate study with good internet access and most days were spent happily lazing poolside after breakfast in the cabana. When we chose to head out it couldn’t have been easier. Cabs are free to call and quick to arrive. We cycled to the shops (the German bakery is wonderful and there is a great fruit stall for breakfast platters along the main stretch of road) and down to the beach with ease. There are two bikes for your use at the house. We chose to eat out pretty much every night. The restaurants overlooking the beach at Nai Harn offered cool beers and zingy curry with the sand between your toes, the Royal Phuket Yacht Club (minutes away) is great for posh nosh and a splendid view, and the Italian restaurant Da Vinci is very close and serves excellent food. Currently #3 on Tripadvisor for Phuket.
Shari and Phil (the villa’s owners) were lovely to deal with, gave us heaps of helpful advice, ensured that a driver met us at the airport and even had a delicious welcome supper ready for us when we arrived.
As a group we all agreed that the only real criticism we have is that the online photos don’t really do the place justice. It looks good in the pictures but it’s even better in the flesh.
This was a perfect alternative to a busy hotel. It would be great for a family (though if you’ve young ones the pool doesn’t have a fence) or for a group of friends holidaying together. Though we didn’t rent a car it seems easily done but cabs were very convenient and often good fun (the open backed jeepneys are a hoot!). The place offers the best of both worlds: you are close enough to facilities for you to do things (the cooking course at Patong was a favourite of ours) but if you want to get away from it all and simply slump by the pool then that’s doable too. We even enjoyed a poolside massage one afternoon with a cocktail!!
This is a well-designed and beautifully maintained home that seems to lack nothing. It felt very safe and friendly, was in a great part of Phuket and helped to make our Christmas getaway so very special. Easy 5 stars! [Andrew McHugh, Sydney, Australia, December 2011]
 

"The house is beautiful in all aspects and the grounds are exquisite. After entering the property across the lotus pond, opening the front door is a revelation. This Villa isn’t a holiday villa; it’s a home, and a fabulous one. From the fully equipped kitchen to satellite TV, Music systems, DVDs, Bikes, Games, internet access; everything is provided. Even luggage scales to ensure your return flight check-in goes smoothly! There is only one drawback! The villa is almost too comfortable.
The gardens, the pool and the views over the fresh water lagoon are so beautiful and so relaxing that it’s difficult to go out and explore Phuket. Sitting in the morning sun watching the lagoon area come to life is enchanting. It teems with wildlife. The flock of yellow spectacled Mynah birds trill beautifully as they sip water at the infinity edge of the pool and the fleeting glimpses of the iridescent blue back of the Kingfisher are a delight.
The pool area is a perfect suntrap. The sun rises over the lagoon in time for an early breakfast in the sala and passes over the rooftop just as you’re beginning to think whether to go out and eat the fabulous food in the local restaurants or stay in and cook something to eat outside as the stars come out.
If you can tear yourself away, this corner of Phuket has plenty to explore and enjoy. Driving in the area is easy too. The swarm of motor scooters isn’t a problem. With up to four Thais on each bike, they weave in and out around you quite carefully, almost gracefully in fact. Even in the busy areas like Patong and Chalong we never encountered an aggressive driver on two wheels or four.
Even with a whole world to explore it will be difficult to resist going back to this Villa. Phil and Shari are the perfect hosts too. Their almost instant responses to our emails with help and advice ensured we enjoyed our holiday to the full. [Stuart & Ann Morris, Colchester, UK, October 2011]"
 

"If you are looking for a relaxed and peaceful stay in Phuket then this Villa is for you. The villa is in the most beautiful setting, with its own infinity pool and views over the lagoon. The accommodation is very comfortable with good sized bedrooms and bathrooms and a wonderful living/dining area, with all the mod cons. My only regret is not having booked a 2 week stay! The owners, Shari and Phil are wonderful to deal with. Their prompt reply to emails and additional advice on the area made all the difference. [Natalie & Friends, London, UK, October 2011]"
 

"We rented this villa for one month and it was absolute paradise! The villa is like a home from home with every need catered for. We travelled with our 3 and 9 year old children and they also loved it! We can highly recommend this villa to anyone and we will definately be returning. The owners are also an absolute pleasure to deal with. [Dario Acri & family, London, UK, August 2011]"
 

"Realy a beautiful villa in a secluded part of the south island. We had such a lovely time and feel very lucky to have been able to share this amazing place with the owners, Phil and Shari. Phil and Shari went out of their way to ensure that our holiday was perfect, they gave great advice on our holiday and the arrangements they made for us were outstanding. We would highly recommend this holiday place to everyone, what a wonderful place to relax but still feel like we were at home. [Deborah & Don Hewes, Singapore, August 2011]"
 

"On arrival at the villa you immediately feel relaxed, it is spacious, the bedrooms are large and it is beautifully furnished throughout with all the amenities you require, books, music and even internet access if you wish. The villa is situated in a beautiful lush garden and a lagoon and it is great to lounge in the pool and watch the wild life go about their every day living. The local village is within walking distance or only a few minutes away by bike with many cafes for breakfast and restaurants for evening dinner. There are also local shops, if the desire takes you, to buy the basics to to eat in and dine al fresco at the sala by the pool for breakfast or that evening meal. Nai Harn Beach is really great and only a few minutes away by car or bike with very good fresh sea food and of course massages. There is also Rawai which has very good restaurants and again great seafood. The villa is a beautiful place to relax, enjoy and have just a great time and we do highly recommend this as a place to stay. [Ruth Ansell, Hong Kong, June 2011]"
 

"The villa is an idyllic holiday retreat that has a real home from home feel about it. It is spacious, extremely comfortable and furnished to a very high standard in traditional Thai style while catering for all mod cons including satellite TV, internet access and music system. We spent a large part of our holiday just relaxing around the villa because we found that it was such a perfect location. The infinity pool is clean, very warm and easily large enough to cater for a family; it overlooks a natural lagoon which attracts a range of birds, on our visit among others we saw Water Hens, Drongos and Kingfishers. We found that there was absolutely no problem from insects or mosquitoes despite the close proximity to water due to the sympathetic planting of insect repellent shrubs around the entire area. The villa offers the perfect location to relax in a secure and safe environment and is only a 15 minute walk to the lovely beach at Nai Harn, It is in close proximity to a large range of excellent restaurants to cater for local and western dishes. We would thoroughly recommend this villa to anyone wishing to stay in Phuket as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in such a beautiful place. [Steve & Jackie, UK, June 2011]"

"All we can say is that you will not be disappointed if you choose this villa. In fact you will be pleasantly surprised how it surpasses your expectations. It is not just somewhere to put down your luggage for a few weeks but it is a home from home. The surrounding lagoon offers a lovely view from the pool and the pleasure of feeding the fish and watching the many birds that frequent it. Everything you could possibly require is provided at the villa. In that respect it is certainly the best we have ever stayed at. The area is very peaceful but a more active nightlife is just a short car/taxi journey along the coast. My teenage daughter loved the hustle and bustle of Patong, only to be endured for an evening out mind you! and Kata and Karon resorts which are closer are lively if a little less so." [Pete, Pauline & Leanne Dickens, UK, April 2011]

"We spent a perfect holiday in this wonderful villa and appreciated very much the comfort there, the pool, the music and the hospitability of the owners. Everything was perfect, very well organised and we had all the conditions to be happy. Hope to come back next year. [Rali, Jean-Marc & Family, France, March 2010] "

My second visit to the villa, and I suspect that it has become a constant, against which the sped of outside life may be measured. The trappings of everyday life change but here at the villa the noise stills and we have a moment to consider true happiness, the power of friendship, and the natural beauty that too often gets blurred as we catapult through our days. An amazing week with dear friends and in a place about which I feel smilingly sentimental. [Heidi, Hong Kong, March 2010]
 

Looking at the visitors book it seems that we are in competition to see who can make this their 'home away from home'. So far we are poised at four visits - and who could blame us. It is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, to relax and find yourself again. [Jon-Paul & Hide, March 2010]

 

We had an unforgettable stay in Phuket, to a very great extent because of the house. Even arriving at night after an 18 hour journey, it was stunning. We just had to explore, even though we were really tired. The next morning we realised that we had arrived in Paradise - and that was before we left the property! It is clearly a lovingly created home, beautifully furnished and equipped to the highest standards. The sense of space is striking, but not overwhelming, and in the stunning pool, overlooking a tranquil lagoon watching a heron fish one wonders whether it is really worth going to see the rest of Phuket! All this in a peaceful and secluded private estate, but only minutes from the best beach on the island and in easy walking distance of basic shops and a wide variety of excellent bars and restaurant if one really feels the need to go out. We will be back!! [Penny & David, Feb 2010]
 

"We wanted to say how much we enjoyed this villa.  Sitting outside in the warm with a glass of wine is our idea of heaven, and sitting on the verandah overlooking the lagoon was better still.  We have booked villas before and although the pictures seen in advance are always accurate, it is the view you don't see that is the crucial one. - this villa was the exception; if anything we don't think the pictures do it justice!  We weren't prepared for that wonderful view, and for that view, we would have happily forgiven a few shortcomings within the villa itself, but there weren't any.  Everything we could conceivably need was there. We hope we will be able to come back again one day.  Thank you both so much for the effort you put into making sure that everything was thought of, both in terms of everything available at the villa and the arrangements for our arrival.  We had a wonderful 2 weeks. [Barbara and Brian, Dec 2009]"
 

This is my third visit and I am still as in thrall to this place as the first time I saw it - if not more so. Not only is it beautiful but so comfortable - a real home. Thank you so much for allowing me to share a little bit of heaven on earth. I'll be back ! [Dee Palmer, Nov 2009]
 

I have stayed at this beautiful villa and thoroughly enjoyed the villa and its surroundings....it's in a tranquil setting by a lagoon and surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, yet within easy reach of a lovely sandy beach. The locals were very friendly too. [Angie, 2009]
 

I've stayed 3 times in paradise! This property is a delightful Thai bungalow with very comfortable beds and furnishings in beautiful surroundings. To get up and have an early morning dip in the pool before breakfast, then deciding where to visit during the day is my idea of heaven! After a good day out enjoying the sites, it’s time for another dip and G&T’s before making yet another decision, where to eat in the evening. There are plenty of very good restaurants in the area and the Nai Harn beach is only about a mile away. I have no hesitation is recommending this delightful place for a wonderful, relaxing and enjoyable holiday [Ann, 2009]
