Wonderful Property!

We just returned from 5 nights in Patong Beach, Phuket, Thailand. It was an amazing time. We stayed at Beachfront Villa Atika G.We were greeted at the airport by our transfer that was arranged through the owners of the property. The housekeeper was notified of our arrival and gave the transfer driver directions. She greeted us with a key and we exchanged the security deposit. She asked when we would prefer her to come daily for housekeeping. She came at 1030am and was there 2 hours minimum. The house was spotless on arrival. The kitchen has amazing views and all the amenities you would need. Coffee maker, blender, toaster oven and utensils. Some of the items provided have been very used, do not expect a gourmet kitchen. We had our transfer driver stop at the Big C on the way in and we purchased some necessities. Upon arrival we found a 7-11 and Family Mart across the street. They had eggs, bread, milk and most of the daily needs. The water in the house is drinkable as they have a filtration system. Very handy! The house did not come with soap in the bathrooms or toiletries, but the stores across the street have inexpensive items, so no need to pack your own unless you are picky. Also, no beach towels but we used the bath towels and made use of the outdoor shower to minimize the sand in the house. The floors are a bit slippery as they are mostly tile and marble, so be careful! The master is on the main floor and the second room with 2 twin beds is in the basement. The steps are a bit steep and one should be careful descending them. The decor is very contemporary and comfortable. In the living room the door walls open to an AMAZING VIEW! I would beware that there are no railings when you open the doors (good reason because it would block the view). I would not advise this be a place for young kids because the drop off is over 6 feet to the sand. The same goes for the front porch as well. There is air conditioning that is controlled separately in each room. The couch has shown wear, but is very comfortable. The property is very private as it is surrounded by a high wall and has its own beach area. The Beach however is accessible from farther down and there were people walking in front of the property. No one came up to the house and we felt very safe. There is a lock on the front gate as well as the house. We always felt secure. Just outside the gate there is an ATM and money exchange as well as hut for booking excursions. Down the...
