Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Ashtamudi Lake

What can we say, me and my wife had such a lovely time staying at Ragesh place, his mum (miss you already) fed us so well and the jackfruits were an special addition. The room, place, private garden, the nature in the place, Ragesh recommended us a lot of things and places to see and visit - very helpful! Ragesh shared some of his magical talent one morning - so meditative. Overall we want to come back already!! Miss the vibes and the house already, very private and beautiful atmosphere

A great place to stay in Varkala given that he is walking distance away from some very good cafes on South Cliff( Trip is life and Sarwaa). A place nestled on the quiet side of Varkala so if you are someone looking for a great stay away from the now commercial north cliff, this is a great choice. Thanks Nikhil!

Safar was a wonderful host and genuinely went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. He was incredibly helpful and did everything he could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The room itself was as described, clean and the kitchen is very good as we did lots of cooking. The outside area is great to relax and there is a roof for Yoga. Would definitely recommend and stay again. The area itself is peaceful and away from the hustle and business of the cliff. There is a really great shop nearby that has everything you’d likely need.

I had an amazing stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The house was spotless, stylish, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect close to everything but still quiet and peaceful. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in super easy. . Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Biji's place was one of the best experiences I have had in my life, and I think the others in our group of 7 would agree. You must stay here: the place is literally on the Kallada river, a boat can come pick you up from the house and take you on a mangrove tour, and you can even swim just by getting down a few steps. The setting is unbeatable. The house itself seemed all brand new, modern, very comfortable. Even the roof was beautiful, but my favourite feature was the ample 2 porch areas with fans, we basically sat outside the entire time to enjoy the views. Clean, gorgeous, and serene, this place is a must-stay. A lovely lady cooked delicious meals for us for a small extra charge, making the stay even better. Biji's hospitality went beyond all this, he even managed to find a gluten-free cake for our friend's birthday, in addition to helping us arrange cabs and boat ride. Many thanks for this unforgettable stay, Biji. We truly felt we were in God's Own Country.

My sister and I plus my nephew had a very special stay at Shaun’s home stay. Everything worked like clock work The support we got from Shaun throughout our visit was exceptional. Thank you. Although Nelli Tree is not right on the beach, the beach was just a 30 min walk or just an auto taxi trip away. We all had a fabulous time having some wonderful meals at restaurants suggested by Shaun, some relaxing massages and even some surfing lessons. The AC worked well in the room which was a real blessing as it was very hot. The complimentary breakfasts were simple but freshly cooked and tasty. Thank you Shaun and his wonderful team for an unforgettable vacation

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Achuth's place! The location is perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet just a short walk to North Cliff. It was so convenient to have plenty of places to eat nearby, offering a variety of options. The Airbnb itself is spotless and compact, making it ideal for a cozy stay. It’s fully equipped with all the modern amenities we could possibly need, making it feel like a home away from home. The host was clear with all the instructions and provided all the necessary details well in advance. They were also incredibly responsive whenever we had any questions. Highly recommend this place!

What a stunning stay! Deepak's place is absolutely gorgeous and exceeded all of our expectations. The pool is bliss and helps create an oasis in the middle of the heat of Varkala. South Cliff is the area to stay if you want peace, views, beaches and good food. Deepak even connected us with his neighbour and Tuk Tuk driver Sam who was there whenever we needed him and made everything so seamless. Deepak's hospitality is excellent, even helping us get a take out one night! if you're thinking of booking this place don't hesitate it's worth every penny and we loved it. If in Varkala again, we would definitely stay here.

My stay at this Airbnb was absolutely wonderful! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay.
