ES 02 Partial Seaview @The Shore

AndrewRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
A very good location, easy to travel around, lots of attractions nearby. Convenience store just downstairs, no worries on stocking up necessities. Condition of the house is good, furnitures are all in good shape and comfy. Plus point is a good washer dryer which save lots of hassle. Aircond is cold, fridge works perfect, bed is comfortable as well. The only downside is the speed of the lift. There are 4 lifts available, however only 3 is working during our stay. Wait time can go up to 10-15 min during peak hour. Good job from the management to manually control the lift to loosen up the traffic. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for convenience, comfort, and value for money.

OscarRating, 5 stars2 months ago
My stay at Catherine's place was absolutely wonderful! The apartment was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Catherine was an incredibly welcoming and responsive host, offering thoughtful touches that made me feel right at home. The location was fantastic, conveniently close to shops and a mall, yet peaceful and quiet during the evenings. I highly recommend Catherine's Airbnb to anyone visiting the area—I would definitely stay here again!

Boutique Stay on Mabul - Entire Over-Water House

DawnRating, 5 stars1 month ago
WOW - an amazing 5D/4N. 5 glorious days of relaxing: 2+h snorkeling trips every morning & even longer trips in the afternoons, fishing from the "flying banana", swimming with green turtles, evenings chilling on a private deck in the hammocks or ocean swing & just time to breathe & discover island life (outside of the westernised veneer of the resorts). It takes less than 30min to circumnavigate Mabul at a leisurely pace. We met Reed & Nor as hosts & guests but became friends. With no running hot water (that said the cold showers were refreshing & very welcome), no air con (in 39+ C but fans in our bedroom with a full opening wall to the deck provided more than adequate ventilation) & sporadic electricity it is not for everyone but adds to the authenticity of living on the island (& with power banks was no issue at all). Al (boat driver & turtle spotter 🐢 extrodinaire) & Ry (house helper) couldn't have been kinder when stepping up to run lodge unexpectedly. Amazing meals & perfect stay
A modern living area features a large television displaying a scenic sunset over the ocean. A round, white table holds two elegant glasses beside two white bowls. The walls are painted in contrasting colors, enhancing the overall contemporary design.

Tranquil Riverside Retreat: Your Serene Getaway

DeepaknathRating, 5 stars13 months ago
We loved staying at Grace Guesthouse. We loved the stream and spent an entire day just playing there. There are spectacular views just outside the house. It's away from any modern amenities, but one goes here to get away from the city life. Would be lovely if we could return here sometime. Thank you for all your help and kindness!

Heaven in the City 2 beachfront condo

DouglasRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We spent 10 days at Clidern's condo. The location was very nice, just a bit out of town but still very convenient, with a view of the water from both the living room and master bedroom. It is spacious and feels solid- many condos have thin walls and floors but this one was very quiet. We enjoyed having a large kitchen with island, even though we did not cook very much! There are so many good places to eat, even a small food centre in the parking lot beside the building. If we come back to KK, we will definitely book again.
A modern living area features large windows offering a view of the sea. A dark sectional sofa faces a wall-mounted television, while natural light streams in through the curtains. Decorative woven wall hangings add texture, complemented by a coffee table and indoor plants.

赟彬Rating, 5 stars2 months ago
Right in the city center, everything’s nearby. The place is clean and cozy. Host was super helpful, answered all my questions fast. Only problem: the bathroom smells bad. Seems that all the rooms in the building have the same issue. But for the price, especially with friends, it’s worth. Had a good experience!
