Thanks Jay

We had a fantastic stay at Inspiration Villa! My family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) from the USA met up with my brother's family of 4 (also 2 adults and 2 children) from Australia for a week in Koh Chang. The house is kept immaculately. I was extremely impressed by the cleanliness and upkeep of the property. The 4 bedrooms provided plenty of room for the eight of us. The open area common area was perfect for socializing and lounging. We spent many nights and mornings sitting around together while the kids played in the pool. The property manager, Jay, was exceptional. He was literally on call to help us with everything from masseuses coming over to the house, to arranging a snorkel trip and putting on an incredible BBQ. There is a 7-Eleven right next door to the property. This was very handy as we were there nearly every day. The local rum, Sangsom, makes for some great cocktails! I would suggest bringing water shoes as the entrance to the ocean is rocky. The waterfalls are definitely underrated. You MUST visit them and be prepared to go for a swim once you get there. We can't wait to return!

The perfect vaccation! A lovely island with the most friendly people. The villa is as beautiful as the pictures show and the location couldn't be better. 5-10 min with taxi to White Sands and 2 min walk to a large supermarket. And yet the villa is totally private in a lovely and well keept garden. The manager Jay and his wife takes amasingly good care of you. So serviceminded and helps arrange anything you like to do; transportation to Bangkok or Trat, fishingtrips, massages or barbecue in the garden... They make your stay very special. And as all the rewiews say, they deliver dinner or any other meal to the villa. We ended up ordering food every day. So good! Thank you for the most terrific two weeks! Hope to see you again.

This place is just amazing. Everything you can wish for a perfect holliday and even more on a paradise island like Koh Chang. We stayed there for two weeks together with good friends and our two boys who is two and one year. The house is a great place to stay if you have kids..just by the ocean, a big garden and great pool. A lot of space for kids to run around and play and relaxing area for grown ups;) The house was actually even better than it looked like on the photos, even though we didnt though that was possible:). Its a great locaition on the island, its just a few meters walk out to the road where taxi is passing all the time. And a big Tesco next by where we bough all our groceries from. Nothing is far away, and its really cheap going around The island with taxi or renting scooters. We had two for the whole periode and paid nearly nothing. The manager for the house, Jay, is the most warm hearted and awesome person I have ever met on holliday. What a service, hospitallity and helpful guy:) And his great wife who make the best food on the island. We ordered food from them alot more than we have planned. Strait delivered to the house, just perfect. Jay also helped us with everything we needed. He fixed everything strait away. He also helped us organizing our dream wedding at Flora italay at coconut beach. You made our dream come true Jay and we are so thankful for that:) The house was also always clean and good taking care of. A friendly cleaning lady cleaned the house twice a day..and a great gardener took care of everything outside. Our kids really loved to walk around with them. I have traveled alot around the world, and I have never experienced sutch a perfect place and locaition with, most importen of all, beautiful people:) We are definitely going back to this amazing house with perfect locaition and awesome people on paradise island Koh Chang:)

Family with three kids aged 4,5 and 9 were looking for a place to unwind and chill in beautiful and relaxed settings after travelling around in Thailand. This place met our expectations AND more! It is SO aesthetic, well kept, spacious, clean, modern, and still authentic. Then add a genuine and perfect service from Jay and his wife. This villa is perfect for a honeymoon, families travelling together, or a bunch of friends who want to have there own pool party. We will definately come back!

We spent a wonderful 8 days at Inspiration Villa in October 2014. A family (plus aunt) with 3 boys, 18, 15 and 13. The house is lovely. Stylish, well maintained, polished concrete, wooden decks, infinity pool, great bathrooms - perfect. Housekeeper, gardener, etc. always present but never conspicuous. The quality of maintenance is first class. The gardens run down to the sea from the infinity pool to the volleyball court then the lawn (including a pagoda in the corner, a great venue for massages). The beach is pebbly/rocky (not sharp) so takes some care - but it's not a bad launching pad for the 2 sea kayaks on the rack. We had great fun. The kitchen in the garden was more than adequate - particularly as there was a great restaurant across the road that delivered within minutes (more later). The location is great; at the South end of White Sands beach and well positioned for all of the activities on the island. Transport is simple, there's a steady stream of taxis operating in both directions, we never waited more than 2 minutes. We spent all of our time on the West coast of Koh Chang. There are a few seedy bars, but not excessive. The town is laid back and good fun. Beach restaurants are great. Plenty of families with kids, through to backpackers. The open top VW camper cocktail bar is a must. We went Scuba diving, Elephant trekking and Fishing. We also had massages in the garden a few times. All were great and efficiently arranged with the help of Jay, the villa manager. He was simply terrific; very nice, very genuine. He was able to give us an insight to everything we wanted to do, and came up with great suggestions. We worked out a plan for the week, Jay made a few calls and, without a single hitch, everything fell into place. Jay's restaurant is across the road at the end of the drive, a short walk from the villa. It's basic, and by the side of the road, but the food is fantastic. Jay's wife Jow runs the joint and does it very well. The breakfasts were out of this world - a selection ranging from muesli, fresh fruit and yoghurt through to a full English breakfast with Jay's homemade sausages and plenty of Thai options. And if we didn't fancy the walk Jay would pop dinner round on his scooter stacked up in lovely stainless steel pots. Quite simply, we had a great week. The Vila was perfect, the island enchanting and nothing was too much trouble for Jay and his team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay.

I stayed at the villa for about two weeks when I was there for my friends’ wedding. From the moment I walked up the few steps I knew it was going to be the perfect holiday! From the infinity pool to the private beach and volleyball court ... A perfect combination of indoor/outdoor living with the right amount of privacy (even when staying there with a group of friends). Jay, the property manager is extremely helpful and has a great knowledge of the local area. I would highly recommended this place to anyone and have already done so numerous times to my friends.

Beautiful villa with amazing views. Great locations in a quiet, relaxing place but not to far from the party towns! Excellent facilities with a infinity pool, volley ball pitch & more! Would recommend anyone to stay here as it suites all! Fantastic holiday and I didn't want to leave this villa!

The villa is gorgeous set in a nice quiet location but not far from the party towns. Excellent facilities - pool, volley ball pitch& more! Very comfy bedrooms and great movies for the TVs! Would recommend this villa to anyone, it's beautiful!

We had our partyband group of eight guys ages between 29 and 40 spending two week holiday at the villa. The villa is just perfect being nicely build and equipped. Clean and modern rooms. Bathrooms works perfectly with the sense of western standards. Good pressure on showers and steady tempereture on water. Pool area is perfect and works pretty much as a livingroom with the nice patio giving the option to stay in shade. Place is very well looked after. Pool maintained perfectly, gardener taking care of the property everyday and house cleaning working perfectly. Only little downside is the beach whitch is pretty much covered with rocks under water. But on high tide you can easily go to swim. I think the kitchen is fully capable to cover breakfast cooking by guests and that was what we originally planned to do. But Jays restaurant being so great and delivery service fast and easy to order we ended up ordering breakfast in everyday. And what could be better than to have the breakfast exactly the time you want. The villa it self being nice, relaxing and functional leaves the fact that the final touch and factor for ensuring top rating is the host Jay and his stuff. The way how we were taken care of and looked after was amazing. I still can't figure out math how it was possible to take care of all our needs and still leave us the perfect feeling of privacy and relaxation without any feeling of disturbance. I haven't experienced any five star hotel concierge service but I have hard time on trying to imagine that it would raise on this level of care taking. We needed to know where to rent motorbikes. Instead Jay organised five bikes that were brought for us to the villa. When we left we just left the bikes there. Pretty much everything we needed was organised by Jay without us having to spend valuable holiday time on organizing things. Just call Jay and things work out. Villa being private the staff adapted to our rhythm not disturbing us at all. Location is good when you have motorbike. Few minutes to Whitesand Beach where the most action is. Those who don't ride a bike may find it a little inconvenient not to be able to go to more busy areas by walking. But with taxi you can manage aswell. And let's face it you couldn't have this kind of private property in the middle of a tourist beach. So all in all you are located peacefully but pretty near from all the buzz. Looking forward to get back there some day.

Habe so etwas noch nie vorher erlebt! Es War einfach nur traumhaft!! Dort hat wirklich alles gestimmt! Sowohl die Villa, wie auch das ganze drum herum. Es hat einfach alles gestimmt! Ich kann es einfach nur weiterempfehlen und würde keine Sekunde zögern dort wieder meinen Urlaub zu verbringen! Es gibt von meiner Seite absolut nix negatives zu berichten. Obwohl von morgens bis abends das Personal am Anwesen Pflege betrieb, hat man es so gut wie nie gesehen und fühlte sich somit total ungestört. Jeden Abend konnte man an seinem Privatstrand den Sonnenuntergang genießen. Auch für die Verpflegung war gesorgt: Der super Bestell- und Bringservice von thailändischer und europäischer Küche gehörte auch mit dazu. Ein eigenes Häuschen, welches als Küche diente und immer einen vollen riesigen Kühlschrank, der täglich kontrolliert wurde, gehörte auch mit dazu. Und wenn man mal Lust hatte was eigenes zu kochen... kein Problem! Die Küche war voll ausgestatten und das dreckige Geschirr war auch am nächsten Tag immer wie von Geisterhand gespült. Also für alle die mal mehr als nur Luxus und dazu eine traumhafte Ambiente erleben wollen, ist dies genau der richtige Ort. Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle auch nochmal für die herrliche Zeit und dass es uns an nix gefehlt hatte! Thank you so much!

I cannot believe my vacation of 9 days at the villa had magically flown so quickly. I arrived in the afternoon. The house was fully prepared nice and clean. My room faced to the pool and the beach. What a view to wake up for! I love every single detail of the house decoration, although, my favourite spot was the infinity pool. I could live in there. It gave me the feeling of swimming in the ocean besides, there were no fish swimming next to me ;) I also loved the food from Sanae's restaurant which belongs to Jay, house manager. Actually we could just walk there, but it also can be delivered to the house! Stir-fried chicken with basil leaves and well-done fried egg over rice was my usual. :) Thanks to Jay for his graciousness, Jow for a home-made yummy food, a housekeeper for cleaning up my mess, gardeners for keeping the garden so gorgeous and thanks to the house owner for sharing this amazing spot with us. I cannot wait to come back!

This is a beautiful, well appointed house with spectacular views and ambience. It is surrounded by a well kept grounds. and one of the few villas for rent in Koh Chang. It is a top quality, tastefully designed and decorated house that caters for outside living, and in this location you can see why. The bathrooms are exquisite. We enjoyed our stay here very much, the wonderful pool and garden, volleyball and canoeing, but swimming from the rocky beach is challenging. The main get-together area is very Thai with no chairs as such so be prepared to get ethnic. Everyone involved are very helpful. It is centrally located on Chang so you get get around easily. Enjoy your stay it will not disappoint.

voila quelques semaines maintenant que nous sommes rentrés de koh chang et a vrai dire cela nous manques déjà.Voilà plusieurs années que je viens en thailand et koh-chang à su pour le moment préserver cette île du tourisme de masse(c est koh samui il y a 20ans). La villa est superbe et très bien située,toutes les choses nécessaires se trouve a moins de 5 minutes avec motobike.Le cadre est somptueux (malgré la saison humide)la maison est très bien équipé ,vraiment rien à redire.La plage est jonché de cailloux (sandale obligatoire)se qui évite tout passage de touristes,donc la tranquillité est préservée.Pour les plages de sable il ne vous faudra que quelques minutes avec un taxi pour vous y rendre et les routes de koh-chang sont à elles seules une attraction.Le personnels de maison sont a votre service pendant toute la durée du séjour et aucun reproche à leurs faire tout à été impécable. merci à JAY et son épouse pour l’accueil.Jay possède un petit resto pas loin de la villa (thai et européen food)et vous fera même le plaisir de vous livrer la nourriture a domicile. J'espère très prochainement retourner dans cette maison pour d'autres vacances.

I would like to thank all the staff at this wonderful house and 'Jay and Jow', the house manager and his wife the chef who made our stay so beautiful. My husband and our 3 children, 8,12 and 14 stayed here for 1 week and did not want to leave. The house itself is a perfect retreat for families, young and old, who are looking for some privacy and also giving easy access to the resorts of White sands beach and Klong Prao. Koh Chang is a large island that still possesses the charm of the idyllic tropical islands that my husband and i once travelled many years ago. The beaches are still in beautiful and the waters around the island are clean and have an abundance of tropical reef life present. I myself am a great diver and i enjoyed a dive with my eldest son, courtesy of the recommended dive school, the day was amazing. The house is clean and tastefully decorated, the cleaners are discreet and very helpful and the gardeners keep an amazing array of tropical plants for my husband, a keen amateur photographer, to photograph. All in all our stay here was wonderful, charming and peaceful. We wish that we could have stayed longer as we all came to love the food , the people and the surroundings... A real home from home!!!

We stayed at the villa for two weeks, as a group of eight girls meeting (roughly) half way between the UK and Australia. Given that this seemed to be the only private villa on the island we were nervous that it all may look too good to be true and maybe all those photos were just taken on a good day! However, the moment we arrived at the house all of these concerns vanished. The property looks exactly as it does in the pictures and is even more beautiful when you can soak up the atmosphere and the spectacular view. The villa was immaculately clean and this was maintained throughout our stay by the lovely lady who cleaned each day and changed the linen. The surrounding gardens are also maintained daily by the gardener who lives next door, so they were always impeccable. The lounge/dining area is all outside and leads straight to the poolside so the layout is very sociable for day and night. There is also a really good speaker system set up which means the whole outside area has surround sound, so don't forget your iPod! The villa is managed by Jay (who is English) who could not have been more helpful, accommodating and welcoming. He has a restaurant just a few minutes away, where his wife cooks some of the most delicious food on the island `(try the pork omlette!) and if you can't quite make the journey to the end of the drive way, Jay will deliver to the villa. They also came and cooked us a poolside BBQ which I would definitely recommend trying as the food was outstanding. The villa is located about 10 minutes from White Sands beach, which has a lot of shops, restaurants, bars & hotels or if you're looking for more relaxed nightlife, Lonely Beach is about 25 minutes in a taxi and has a great selection of beach front bars and slightly more of a back-packer feel. The villa and it's surroundings are so nice, that it was a struggle to leave the poolside during the day, although we did on one day venture on a snorkelling boat trip around the islands which was enjoyable and a couple of the girls made the most of the scuba diving. The villa is a hidden gem and there is nothing else like it on the island, I would definitely recommend anyone looking for some luxury in the sun to stay here. Perfect for a group of friends, couples and families alike. Take me back!!

As a group of 8 girls undergoing a third of life crisis we holidayed in this villa For two weeks. It was wonderful. Beautiful rooms, social area and pool, hammocks down by the sea were perfect for sleeping off the hangover. The sunsets were spectacular. Jay the manager could not have been more welcoming and helpful, the food from his restaurant is tasty and bbqs at the villa are delicious. Massage ladies can be arranged to come to the villa and jay will book and trips/diving. I would reccomend without reservation to similar groups but also families and couples. Thank you!

This villa was simply fantastic and I would recommend it to ANYONE! We were looking for a destination between Australia and the UK for a group of friends to meet in the middle. We searched the internet and found this place, it seemed too good to be true! Worried that the photo's couldn't possibly live up to reality we checked the reviews and they all sounded so great we went for it. I'm so glad that we did. Its all true! It is an amazingly private and gorgeous villa, its located at the quieter end of the island near White Sands which suited us every other night, and its only 100 Baht each maz (you can get a better deal if you have a larger group and want to haggle) down to Lonely beach if you want to party. Jay the manager of the villa and his amazingly talented chef wife run a restaurant just near the top of the driveway (about 500m away) they will bring you food, BBQ you food at the villa, get anything and organise every thing you could possibly want! They are truly welcoming and gracious hosts. The villa does have a small kitchen, not really designed for doing much cooking in, but then when the food is so cheap and tasty everywhere there's no need to cook at home. There is tea and coffe making facilities and a fridge for your own personal use, so you can make breakfast or a sandwich if you want. There is also the wonderfully well stocked bar fridge, that is the same price as drinks anywhere on the island the magically refills itself over night! The only problem with the villa is that you don't want to leave it! If your disciplined you might be able to get out and enjoy some days away from the pool, you've been warned! The room I stayed in had some difficulties with the air-con which was frustrating, however Jay was able to get it fixed almost immediately. I'm only putting that in so that you don't think I'm only putting down the good things. One final thing to note, if your expecting to be able to lie on the beach at the villa, forget it! Its a rocky beach, that is quite hard to actually get out into to swim, although they do have sea kayaks which are fun to paddle down to White Sands (about 1/2 an hour for not very competant paddlers!) However with the poolside decking and sun loungers, who needs sand anyway. I hope you do decide to use the villa, I can't reccomend it highly enough, and say hi to Jay for me!
