Renta de alojamientos vacacionales frente a la playa en Dehiwala

I booked the home for 6 adults and 2 kids, and we had a wonderful 5 day stay. We spent our days swimming in the pool (long enough for laps!); lounging by the pool drinking tea or reading or playing board games; indulging in the most delicious meals cooked by Manjula; listening to the waves crash on the beach that’s a small coconut grove away; or taking naps in the comfortable beds in our airy bedrooms, which were beautifully decorated. Evocative of the Geoffrey Bawa style (a Murad Ismail masterpiece), this style of home may be the best way to enjoy all that Sri Lanka offers. The garden is beautiful. We rarely saw any mosquitos (I still sprayed my kids), despite us spending most of our time in the open veranda/lounge by the pool. Manjula is an excellent chef and cooked a bday lunch for 20. All of my Sri Lankan relatives - the toughest food critics of all - loved his food. Crab curry, hoppers, kotthu roti, chicken curry done 3 ways, butter cake, we had it all! We hope to be back!

Peter was an amazingly proactive and helpful host, more than happy to give help and advice and answer any questions. The apartment was just as described. Very comfortable with good facilities and a perfect mix of being on a relatively quiet street with sea views but so close to amenities and transport options.

Great location, quite peaceful and as described 50 m from local beach. Had a lovely village feel to the area, would highly recommend for a long stay and great value for money.

This is a beautiful spacious property in a fabulous location with a sea view to die for. We were a little concerned as not many reviews, but this is often let as 2 homes together. Alexander was swift to respond and communicate this to us. Sam was always responsive and Dinesh was always on hand to look after us. The dogs are very friendly and absolutely no trouble at all. We already love this area in Sri Lanka, and loved it even more staying here.

Excellent stay, staff are amazing, thank you.

appartement très propre et bien équipé... à l'étage d'une famille vivant en dessous très gentils et discrets et présents si besoin... une climatisation unique dans la chambre qui est payante et n'est pas signalée comme telle. très proche du grand traffic de la ville et de la mer, mais suffisamment en retrait pour dormir correctement !!

Отличное расположение, просторная квартира, бассейн на крыше с видом на море и тренажёрный зал. В квартире есть всё необходимое. Перебоев со светом не бывает — есть генератор. Отличный быстрый Wi-Fi.

Afran is very nice and also answered fast and also called us upfront to say hi and to know eachother upfront. The appartment is very nice with all you need for a good stay. Aircon in all rooms, VERY good beds! Nice view, full kitchen with all you need. This is the best appartment we had in Sri Lanka and we have been there many times. I can highly recommend this apartment and Afran as host. Internet is also perfect speed. It was great 14 days in Mount Lavinia. Few meter from the beach with good restaurants. Everything was just perfect and we will for sure be back and rent from Afran!

The Palm Beach Villa was absolutely amazing! Piyal, the house manager, was waiting for us at the airport, and drove us to the Villa, even tho we arrived early in the morning. There was a wonderful breakfast waiting for us upon our arrival. Piyal and Sujami took such great care of us during the day, and Sumith was there all night, which made us feel very safe. We weren't expecting the high level of pampering we received from the 3 of them. It really made our stay truly relaxing. The Villa and grounds are beautiful! The dogs were an added surprise, and were definitely part of the experience :) The pool was heavenly! The beach was right there!!! and was so beautiful and virtually empty! Watching and helping with the morning fishermen was an experience we will never forget! The location is so private, but close enough to many of the island's attractions. Piyal was a gracious host, driver, and AMAZING cook!!! Sujami was so sweet and helpful. Sumith was great! Will def be back!

For the dehiwala apartment review : The apartment was clean and well presented. We enjoyed watching the sunset each evening from the balconies which all have an ocean view. The location was great, the bedrooms and aircon comfortable and the bathrooms were clean & fresh. The hosts were responsive and flexible giving us a late check-out as there was no booking after us. The assistant organised for check-in and check-in was easy to liaise with.

It is an amazing place to stay. The apartment is located 2 mins of walking distance from the beach. Has a nice view of the beach from the balconies. There were each balcony for bedrooms and for the living room. The roof top infinity pool is my favorite. Can see the sun set and sun rise from the pool. Since our stay was bit long 5 nights, the host provided extra drinking water and toilet paper. The host is very responsive. Had a good time with my family.

very well furnished apartment and awesome rooms. good for families and also anyone looking for place near sea side.

Johnny was an excellent host and a great partner during my stay. I first reached out to him via phone, and he was incredibly kind and responsive. Thanks to the building’s security guard, the check-in process was seamless. Compared to other Sri Lankan apartments, this one was thoughtfully designed and not cluttered with furniture, which we really appreciated. When the internet went down, Johnny responded within 30–40 minutes with a fix and a clear explanation—I loved that level of service. It was just my girlfriend and me traveling, and while we didn’t need a three-bedroom place, we absolutely loved the extra space. Next time I’m in town, I’ll definitely be booking this place again. Loved the stay—thank you, Johnny!

We stayed at Jen's place for 5 nights and we enjoyed every bit of it. Waking up to the smell and the sound of the waves of the Indian Ocean was amazing. The apartment was well kept, with fresh towels and clean sheets provided. Location of the apartment was convenient too, with nearby bistros and restaurants that are within a walking distance. We had excess to the pool,which was a plus point for our kids. Responsive host and highly recommend Jen's place.

Jayantha kept in touch with me for any need from check in to check out. I stayed with my family for 1 month. The house is great for staying with family. I wanted to stay for 1 more month, but I couldn't due to some personal problems. Jayantha is a very good person. He gave me many concessions. I apologize and feel sorry for you Jayantha. From this place, everything is very close to super market, local market. You can go anywhere in Colombo quickly. It is an amazing feeling to stand on the balcony of the house and see the sea. Finally, I will say, my family and I had a wonderful time. Thank you Jayantha for your cooperation.

Our stay was fantastic! The beach was just a short walk away, and there were plenty of great restaurants nearby. The hospitality was exceptional. Definitely want to visit again

Tusith was very friendly, responsive, and always willing to help. The property is within council type flats which we were a bit scared when we first came but the property was perfectly fine and safe. some things I would improve. - the WiFi doesn't work properly and extremely weak. I had to do a lot of work so this became an issue, but I bought a local sim card and used hotspot. -the shower drain needs a mesh type gauze inserted. We had some lively insects regularly come through there. Other than above nice stay.

Our family group of 5 adults stayed at ‘Home within a City’ from the 6th Jan to 11th 2018. Our hosts Mihiri and Kapila were on hand to greet us when we arrived, and took us through all the formalities. The apartment was exactly as described, well laid out, and equipped with everything one could require on holiday. The excellent location gave us plenty of choice to eat and drink outside. The building had 24hr security and was well maintained. Boswell Residences was a short walk from Wellawatte train station (10 minutes into the Fort), and 5 minutes up to Galle Road from where you could catch a local bus into most places in town. Best was the pickme app with which you could summon a small car that was as cheap as the ubiquitous tuk-tuk, and airconditioned. The Majestic Mall, less than 3km/10min ride away cost me Rupees150. (Always take a metered tuk-tuk). Everyone in our group were unanimous – this is an apartment that we would gladly return to. Thank You Mihiri & Kapila for being attentive and gracious hosts. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would hope to return again.

Very convientent location for takeaway foods, which I enjoyed during my short stay. Also, being next Marine Drive, I enjoyed morning walk.

Very nice stay, Gnanapragasam was very responsive and a good host. the flat is big with AC in master bedroom and 2 rooms with single beds. We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was pristine.
