Ferienunterkünfte direkt am Strand in Colombo

Mimis kleines Paradies (eigentlich eher riesig) hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen! Die Bilder auf Airbnb sind schon toll, aber in der Realität, ist das Anwesen noch viel schöner! Die Architektur ist beeindruckend. Haus, Garten und Pool bilden eine perfekte Einheit. Überall gibt es schöne Plätze die zum verweilen einladen. Wir waren zu siebt auf Sri Lanka Tour und der krönende Abschluss, waren die 4 Nächte in Mimis Haus. Dank Kapila, Manjula und Raja konnten wir unseren Aufenthalt in vollen Zügen genießen und einfach nur entspannen! Die drei Herren sind super freundlich, liebenswert und hilfsbereit. Manjula hat uns landestypisch bekocht, köstlich, authentisch und nur ein kleines bisschen scharf. Zum Glück. Vielen vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!

This is right up there overlooking the beach. It’s a good bungalow with several rooms. I occupied the entire place and had it to myself. The modern conveniences are all there and the view from the bungalow is superb. Priyath is a very nice person and was at hand to help. It’s also a great location in a different sense, just five minutes from the main Road and maybe a 45 minute drive to Colombo, even though the beach is pristine and calm and is an ideal holiday location with no hustle and bustle. There are supermarkets and restaurants close by and in all, with the a/c and the great rooftop view at the Oasis — which is the name of this listing — its great value for money. At the beginning of my stay there was an issue with a caretaker which I’d rather not mention in detail here. But very soon Priyath who owns the place and is the host, apologized sincerely for the inconvenience caused, and so the entire episode was forgotten. Priyath is a nice caring guy, the beach is superb , being situated in a very rustic sort of laid back location, and Priyath’s place, the Oasis has some great views of the beach and the ocean. If you are a beach sort of person this is a fantastic place because you are right by the beach, and the sea, with the splendid sound of crashing waves . All in all, good value for money. I wish them well — it’s an Oasis!

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.

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.

It was one of the most wonderful vacation trips. We had a vacation with my husband and two children aged 11 and 16. The owner of the Dharshana house is a magnificent man. He was always in touch and answered all questions. The house is located almost on the shore of the Indian Ocean in 1 min walk. All the amenities were available. All necessary household appliances are present in the house. Especially the washing machine helped us out, as children often dirty things and they could be quickly refreshed. Dharshana and his wife were very kind and welcoming. In addition, they organized a trip for my family to the elephant nursery and the nine-arch bridge, we visited the highest waterfall and got acquainted with monkeys. The children were delighted. Our family has become friends with Dharshana and his wife and we continue to communicate. We are glad that we have friends in Sri Lanka and we will definitely come back to them again.

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!

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.

We stayed at this place for over two weeks. Host Sudaththa and the manager Lakshanee were responsive and ready to help. Our flight arrived after midnight and the drive from airport was slow due to heavy rain. Lakshanee waited for us to let us in and introduce the facilities. They were also happy to accommodate our request to get some groceries for our immediate needs. The pool on the roof is small but very clean and is set in nice surroundings (can see the ocean from the rooftop). A/c units and fans kept us cool and the generator on standby meant there was no power interruption for more than a few seconds. The security guards were alert even after 19 pm and opened the gate for us when we were a little late to get back. Overall the experience was better than anticipated. The kitchen utensil range is limited but if we had asked I believe what we needed would have been provided. We did not because we only needed to make breakfast and tea there.

Very nice place and maintained. Felt like home Definitely will recommend my friends. Thank you for early check in was very helpful. Wish you all the best.

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.

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.
