A high roof covers the large outdoor deck to protect it from the sun whilst allowing cool breezes to pass through. We also have kayaks on the property, which are available for guests to make use of free of charge, along with SUPs (free), bikes (for rent, $5 for 24hrs) to use, and snorkel gear (free). Come and enjoy all the toys we have right from the deck. And if you want to learn to surf, we have surfboards to rent too. As houses in our neighborhood are very close to each other, we kindly request that no outside guests are invited onto the property, unless priorly approved and that our guests be considerate of neighbors and other guests when returning home after a night out. There are a total of 6 houses on the property, each with its own private and some communal areas. Have the privacy of your own home along with communal deck areas, so with the added benefit of meeting like-minded travelers should you wish to or not :-) Because of the uniqueness and beautiful environment of the property being built over the water. As you will live directly over the water with limited barriers, this home can be unsafe for children under 12 years old. House Rules:- 1. We are very much involved in recycling here on the island and kindly request our quests to be mindful of this. This would mean taking further steps in separating and preparing to recycle. 2. Please have no outside guests on the property without our permission to ensure that all our guests are comfortable during their stay. 3. And no entertaining and loud noise after 10 pm. Our property is not for parties or gatherings because the houses are close to each other in the neighborhood. We would love for you to come and relax and enjoy the bay's tranquility with us. 4. Here on the island, drinking the main water supply is not recommended, so as a step to reducing our plastic bottle usage, we have 5-gallon purified water containers available. 5. As another step to preserving our beautiful environment, it is requested that electrical supplies such as ac units, fans, and wall plugs be turned off when leaving the property. Guests can access the property through one of two gates, and with five houses on the property, each is linked with wooden walkways built over the water. We have two kayaks on the property that are available free of charge, and there is direct water access for boat pickups if you take a private boat tour for bird watching, surfing, or just to get to see the islands. Our house is located right next door, so you are just easy shout out away, but each house has it's own deck for private relaxation. If you need help, we'll be available, but if you are looking to get away from it all, you'll hardly notice us at all. Saigon Bay is located just 15 minutes walk from town or a quick $1 taxi ride. This is a local third world neighbourhood, so is colorful, rustic, authentic, and a lot less touristy and as a result, not as well kept as resort locations around the islands. If you want to experience the island as the locals do, then this is the location for you. Due to the garbage issue on the islands, we ask all our guests to recycle in order to reduce our own personal footprint. There is a local supermarket a few minutes walk from the house where basics can be purchased. We can supply drinking water in 6 gallon bottles on the property so you don't have to worry about carrying heavy water containers home. Local taxi's can be arranged and cost $1 to town and $2 to the airport. Cycling is the most popular mode of transport and bikes are available for our guests to use Arriving early or need to leave later than check-in and check-out time? No problem, we can store your luggage securely, and you can access our front over the water deck to relax on. Saigon Bay is a rustic, authentic third-world neighborhood with a colorful collection of wonderful people. If you are looking for a resort atmosphere, this is not for you, but if you want to see how locals enjoy and experience their island, then by all means, come to enjoy the island with us. As houses in our neighborhood are very close to each other, we kindly request that no outside guests are invited onto the property and that our guests be considerate of neighbors and other guests after 10 pm and when returning home after a night out. It should also be noted that our property could be unsafe for children under the age of 12. Our property is over the water with no barrier or gate between the docks and the water. Therefore, we ask for no children under the age of 12.
