Samui house rent from the arrival to Thailand to a comfortable rest

Samui Rest is a real estate agency on Koh Samui since 2017. You can get to know our team on the About Us page or read reviews on Google Maps. You can also ask about us in various local communities and groups.

In addition to accommodation search and booking, we also provide assistance in: renting baby equipment, renting cars and bikes, organizing transfers, currency exchange, insuring families and selecting tours through reliable partners.

The main signs of honesty and reliability of the company are registration of activity in Thailand, payment for services only after signing the contract, and providing a receipt from a legal entity. Additional signs include having a website, a physical office with an address on maps, and reviews from other customers. A Samui Rest manager can provide all the documents upon your first request.

Aggregators such as airbnb.com and booking.com are a standard way of promoting rental properties, alongside real estate agencies. The differences are:
- Samui Rest has a partnership with property owners, who pay the aggregators around 15% to 20% of the cost. This often means that Samui Rest's prices are lower, and we can negotiate discounts;
- Samui Rest offers multiple payment options;
- Samui Rest provides comprehensive information about the surroundings of the villa, makes video reviews, and conducts online tours;
- With aggregators, each property has its own owner or manager, while Samui Rest offers a single point of contact;
- There is no language barrier, and there are no restrictions on communication methods;
- Due to the specific nature of the Asian market, the availability calendar is not always up-to-date, and cancellations by the aggregators can occur;
- Listing on aggregators sometimes involves remote property management, but physical presence is sometimes crucial. We are located on the island.

Yes, you can do that. If for some reason, we couldn't find a suitable accommodation for you or if you have difficulties with payment methods, we can easily book the preferred option.

No, these services require specialized expertise, but we have trusted partners whose contacts we can share with you.

It depends on the season, length of the rental, accommodation requirements, and cost. The best options are often booked 3-4 months in advance, with short periods of availability. For the New Year holidays, we recommend booking 5-6 months in advance to choose from a larger selection of options and to save by locking in the price.

After your inquiry, the manager clarifies the details of the booking, makes a selection of options, and answers questions about the chosen options. Then the manager draws up a contract, a deposit payment is made (usually 10% of the full rental cost), and the accommodation is reserved. You receive a payment receipt and all booking information, including the exact location on the map. The remaining amount is paid to the landlord on site at check-in or through us at your request.

Yes, just ask the manager for a link to the full catalog. And to save your time, describe the criteria to the manager and he will do it for you.

In most cases, you won't be able to. The rental market is highly unstable, and the price listed is valid at the time of publication. In addition, individual conditions may apply to your period.

Thailand is an extremely popular destination, so:
- the properties you like may already be booked;
- you may not be able to visit the property before booking, as bookings are very tight;
- on the island, you want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of relaxation and vacation from the very first day.

Yes, of course. Online showings or videos of the surrounding area and the road to the beach are always available, and inside the villas if there is a window between bookings.

Technically yes, but there is a high chance that other bookings will already be made during that time.

We try to negotiate flexible cancellation terms with the property owners. The exact terms are always documented in the contract.

We accept dollars, Thai baht, Russian rubles, and other currencies including electronic, cash, and non-cash payments. The manager will definitely find a suitable payment option for you.

Partially. The accommodation will be blocked from other bookings after the deposit is paid. The remaining amount can be paid upon check-in.

If airport transfer is not included in the rental price according to the booking conditions, we can arrange this service. Our drivers independently monitor the arrival time and know the exact address, as well as help with luggage. Usually, a representative of Samui Rest company meets guests at the property and assists with check-in.

Upon arrival at the villa, our representative will greet you, give you a tour, answer any questions you may have, record meter readings, provide original copies of the contract and receipts, and if necessary, collect the remaining payment. During check-out, meter readings are recorded, and the saved deposit is returned. If you require a return transfer, please inform the manager.

The choice of insurance depends on the duration of stay and the range of services. We have reliable partners specializing in international insurance. Yes, there is Bangkok Hospital, brand new Wattanapat Hospital, as well as government clinics and private practices on the island. All specialists speak English.

First of all, everything related to the sea - beaches, jet skis, snorkelling, diving, trips to neighboring islands. Natural complexes such as waterfalls, trekking routes, and observation decks are also worth special attention. The nightlife and culinary scene are very active, and for relaxation, there are spas with stunning views.

Of course, tastes may vary, and new establishments are constantly opening. However, we have tried to collect our favorite places in one article.
