Ocean Villa Koh Phangan

"Simply to say, we had a most fantastic stay at your beautiful Koh Phangan coastal villas. Once we were settled in on arrival it couldn't have been any more comfortable - soundly to sleep on firm mattresses & goose down pillows; refreshed by power shower in spacious bathroom; cooled down and funned up with time in and around the pool; and only a short walk to clamber round the rugged coastline in search of tropical fish hugging the rocks.

From the moment we arrived at Sofie and Ocean villa it was fantastic, a very warm welcome by both Jamesy and Bew.
The villa's were a delight to see the design and facilities were absolutley top notch. we would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone (although will probably keep it a closely gaurded secret).

Mr. James Morgan und seine Frau Bew bereiteten uns einen herzlichen Empfang und führten uns durch die geräumige Villa und über das wunderbar am Hügel gelegene Grunstück mit dem großzügigen Schwimmbad. Obwohl es bereits dunkel war, konnten wir durch die überall angebrachten Leuchten die herrliche Lage am Meer bereits erahnen

Ocean villa is furbished with love and the bedrooms are comparable with a 5 star deluxe hotel incl air condition and lovely romantic ocean view. We are 100% relaxed and enjoyed our holidays at the villa. We can recommend to stay at the villa it is quiet and really relaxing. We looking forward coming back next year or the year after.

Our family (2 adults three children) spent two weeks in march at Ocean villa. The villa is wonderful spacious and well equipped. With wonderful views of Koh Ma and Koh Tao.The villas are situated in a secluded little cove which guarantees privacy and enables excellent snorkeling. In short, it was to weeks of relaxed wonderful holiday in a beautiful surrounding and peaceful and laid back atmosphere.

The villa's were a delight to see the design and facilities were absolutley top notch. we would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone (although will probably keep it a closely gaurded secret). A perfect location with everything we had hoped for and more. The tranquility of the location the superb view and an absolutely perfect snorkelling site a hop skip and jump away made this holiday a memorable experience for us both. We found the village a very welcoming place and the food served at the restuarant both next to the villas and in the village was delicious.
I would hope to visit again time permitting and found the location very central with easy access to the numerous activities around the island,we would reccomend visits to the various waterfalls and the temples for a truly sensational time.
thank you once again jamesy and Bew for a memorable holiday.

De retour de 2 semaines (août 2009) à Dee Dee Retreat Paradise ! Accueil exemplaire de Jamesy et Bew qui viennent vous chercher à l'heure prévue au Pier. Un joli panier de bienvenue vous attend à la villa avec fruits, fromage et vin ! So frenchy ! Les deux hôtes sont plein d'attention et de prévenance. Ils souhaitent que vous passiez le séjour le plus agréable possible : désormais vous êtes chez vous le temps des vacances ! Vous pouvez les joindre quand vous le souhaitez, ils sont prêts à vous rendre service et vous donner les meilleurs spots de l'île. Et effectivement, on se sent chez soi. Les villas sont conformes aux photos : élégantes, spacieuses, pratiques, très confortables... Idéales pour une famille avec 4 enfants (les parents dans une ville, les enfants dans l'autre !). Ou pour une honey moon (une villa suffit !). La vue sur la mer et la jungle est superbe. Impression d'être en connexion avec la nature. La plage quasi privée est très facilement accessible (attention aux cailloux et aux coraux coupants, prévoir des chaussures en plastique pour la baignade). Mention spéciale au coin hamac ! Le village de pêcheurs de Chaloklum est à 10 minutes en 4x4 et la "capitale" à une vingtaine de minutes. Restaurant exceptionnel à 100 m : palme d'or à l'époustouflant curry vert et au formidable Masman ! Un régal pour quelques euros. Avec le sourire éblouissant de la cuisinière qui peut aussi vous livrer ses pancakes home made pour le petit déjeuner. Bref, c'est un vrai coin de paradis !!! See you soon Jamesy and Bew !

We have recently returned from a family hoilday in Thailand which included a week at Dee Dee Retreat. We LOVED it, LOVED it, LOVED it!!!!
We are regular visitors to the Far East and have stayed in many lovely hotels, Sofie and Ocean villas are up there with the best!
There were six adults in our party and we had both villas. The location, views and villas themselves are really stunning. There was nothing that we needed during our stay that hadn't been thought of and provided.
There is a small restaurant at the back of the villas in which we ate on a number of occasions. It was great to have somewhere to eat withtin a very short walking distance. The food takes a while to arrive but it is well worth the wait! The owner is a man of few words but a lovely genuine character. After our first lunch we asked if he could provide a taxi into Chaloklum that evening, he took us himself in his open back truck but refused any payment.
Jamesy and Bew went out of their way to ensure that we had a brilliant stay and were able to provide lots of useful information about the local area.
We have never returned to the same location in Thailand but we think Dee Dee Retreat will be the exception.
Ko Phangnan is a beautiful island with lots to see and do but we defy you to spend more than a few hours away from these gorgeous villas!

We spent one week in June 2009 at villa 1 and we like to thank Jamesy and Bew for the very good service and how they cared about us during our stay. We also work in Hotel business so we know how essential and important service and satisfied clients are. They picked us up they arranged a welcome package with fruits and starter breakfast. Ocean villa is furbished with love and the bedrooms are comparable with a 5 star deluxe hotel incl air condition and lovely romantic ocean view. We are 100% relaxed and enjoyed our holidays at the villa. We can recommend to stay at the villa it is quiet and really relaxing. We looking forward coming back next year or the year after.

Our family (2 adults three children) spent two weeks in march at Ocean villa. The villa is wonderful spacious and well equipped (please see the other comments insofar; there is nothing to add). The villas are situated in a secluded little cove which guarantees privacy and enables excellent snorkeling. We were looked after by Jamesy and his wonderful wife Bew who came in regularily and ensured that everything is to our well being. In short, it was to weeks of relaxed wonderful holiday in a beautiful surrounding and peaceful and laid back atmosphere.

Having just spent the months of January and February at Deedee Retreat, yes retirement does have its compensations, we would like to say how much we enjoyed the villas. We were very fortunate to sample both Villa 1 and Villa 2, Jamesy and Bew were very welcoming and wanted us to trial run them both between other clients so that we could give an independant view of each.
Villa 1 is very spacious and comfortable with magnificient views from all rooms and patio, the attention to detail is first class with comfort in mind. The beds were superbly comfortable and the sofa and chairs in the lounge area likewise, the hot showers in both ensuite bathrooms were a joy, in fact no complaints anywhere. The kitchen superbly equiped made cooking at home a treat (yes really).
Villa 2 is just as comfortableand equally well equiped but just that little bit different, offering a most truly majestic main bedroom, and a very private and comfortable 2nd bedroom (which we spent most of our time in). It also offers a rooftop spirit house, which is just great for star gazing (haven't seen so many stars for years and shooting stars as well).
There is a lot of privacy between the villas which makes them very comfortable when sharing with other guests but equally for a larger party plenty of dining and leisure space to combine.
All in all this is truly a magnificent spot on the island of Ko Phangan, offering privacy and seclution (a rare thing is this busy world we live in) and equally near enough to the local fishing port of Chaloklum for bars and great eating, with the emphasis on low key.

As an expat and resident of Koh Samui,you might think it strange to want to have a break at a neighbouring island.
However this is something that we paradise residents like to do from time to time.
The Lomprayha ferry takes twenty minutes to get to Koh Phangam and is very civilised.
We were met in our hire car by our genial host and transported to a different world.The villas are at the end of a dirt road just off the main coast road.Because of the headland to left and right of the properties you feel that you have your own private beach.
The next few days did nothing to dispel this impression as very few people seem to venture on this beach and the feeling of peace and seclusion,largely due to the lack of traffic and almost total quiet, we found to be most relaxing.
The outside areas are nicely planned and the excellent pool is of the chlorine free type which was a nice surprise.
As the properties are elevated from the beach with access by steps it makes things very private.We have found in the past that some beach front villas are not very private.
The two bedrooms are nicely planned and we liked the bathrooms particularly.Very good value for money.
All in all a very nice experience and we intend to visit again in the near future.

"Simply to say, we had a most fantastic stay at your beautiful Koh Phangan coastal villas. Once we were settled in on arrival it couldn't have been any more comfortable - soundly to sleep on firm mattresses & goose down pillows; refreshed by power shower in spacious bathroom; cooled down and funned up with time in and around the pool; and only a short walk to clamber round the rugged coastline in search of tropical fish hugging the rocks.
What's more Jamesy and Bew's attention to details meant that we were never lost for advice and genuine help and guidance to ensure we had the time of our lives, whether it meant finding the right Water Ski instructor, the PADI-registered Scuba Diving Instructors, the best local restaurants (including the excellent home-cooked food from the retsaurant behind the villas) or even making the more mundane experience of stocking up with goods for the week from the main Island town interesting.
Watching the sun go down and eating out on the villa balcony most evenings, be that using the BBQ provided or taking advantage of the delicious Thai food delivered by the restuarant next door (after 2 hours of placing order that is, so do make sure you act local), was always a very relaxing way to end to a very relaxing day. All in all, a wonderful time, and wonderful memories for all concerned, parents and kids!"
Als wir am 10. April in der Ocean villa in Chaloklum ankamen, waren wir sofort begeistert von dem wunderschönen und großzügigen Anwesen direkt am Meer.
Mr. James Morgan und seine Frau Bew bereiteten uns einen herzlichen Empfang und führten uns durch die geräumige Villa und über das wunderbar am Hügel gelegene Grunstück mit dem großzügigen Schwimmbad. Obwohl es bereits dunkel war, konnten wir durch die überall angebrachten Leuchten die herrliche Lage am Meer bereits erahnen.
Am nächsten Morgen bei Tageslicht waren wir dennoch überrascht und hingerissen von dem einzigartigen Ausblick auf die wunderbare Strandbucht und das offene Meer. Die Lage des sehr schön bepflanzten Grundstücks und die Aussicht sind überwältigend. Ebenso die Großzügigkeit der Villa mit 2 Schlafräumen und den beiden angeschlossenen Bädern sowie einer riesigen wunderbaren Terrasse mit Blick übers Meer. Das geräumige Wohnzimmer hat eine schöne und perfekt ausgestattete integrierte Küche.
Zum Schwimmbad und weiter zum Strand führen der Landschaft angepasste schöne Natursteinstufen mit einer hübschen Pagode, deren bequeme Hängematten zur Siesta im Schatten einladen.
Das großzügige Schwimmbad mit Massagedüsen haben wir täglich mehrmals genutzt, es ist auch bei Dunkelheit beleuchtet und hat uns oft noch spät am Abend erfreut.
Der Strand kann als "Privatstrand" bezeichnet werden, er wird im allgemeinen nur von den beiden Dee Dee Villen genutzt: hier kann man jederzeit ein ruhiges erfrischendes Bad im Meer nehmen mit Blick auf die benachbarte Halbinsel Koh Ma, die – wie auch die Bucht selbst – lohnende Schnorchel- und Tauchmöglichkeit bietet.
Das gesamte Anwesen zeichnet sich aus durch außerordentliche Großzügigkeit , Gepflegtheit und erstklassigen Geschmack. Wir haben uns hier auch wegen der außergewöhnlichen Schönheit und Ruhe der Landschaft sehr wohl gefühlt und haben unseren Urlaub sogar noch von 3 Wochen auf 4 Wochen verlängert!
Außerdem möchten wir die fürsorgliche, freundliche und in jeder Hinsicht perfekte Betreuung durch Jamesy und Bew erwähnen: wir werden bestimmt im nächsten Jahr wiederkommen und feuen uns auf diesen wunderbaren Fleck Erde!
