A home by the water,
on your terms.
Beachside and hillside rentals, long-stay advisory, and property caretaking on Koh Samui's Lamai coast. Quietly professional, deeply personal.
Three ways we can help
Each service is shaped around how people actually live on the island — not how property companies usually work.
Lamai Coast Rentals
Furnished beachside and hillside properties on Koh Samui's Lamai coast, available from one to twelve weeks. From compact studios to multi-room villas with pool access — each reviewed for comfort and natural light.
- Fully furnished, move-in ready
- Studios through multi-room villas
- Proximity to beach and local services
Island Home Advisory
A personal advisory service for six-month or longer rentals. Starts with a conversation about what you need. A focused set of options is assembled, viewings are accompanied, and lease negotiation support completes the process.
- Open, consultative approach
- Accompanied viewings with honest notes
- Lease negotiation and settling-in support
Caretaker Retainer
Regular check-ins and coordination for your rented property. Covers ventilation walks, cleaning scheduling, pest management liaison, and utility monitoring — especially useful during off-island periods.
- Regular visits with photo documentation
- Cleaning and utility coordination
- Straightforward, timely communication
A quieter way to find your place
We take our time, pay attention, and say what we actually think. That's the core of how we work.
Curated Properties Only
Every listing is personally reviewed. If it doesn't meet our standard for comfort, light, and location, it doesn't appear on our list.
Candid Advice
We share observations that help you decide — including the things that might make a property less suitable for your situation.
Deep Local Knowledge
Years spent on the Lamai coast means we understand the rhythms of each neighbourhood, which matters more than it might first seem.
Property Care While You Travel
Our caretaker service keeps your property in good order when you're away — with straightforward reporting and no surprises.
One Point of Contact
You work with the same person throughout — no handoffs, no confusion, no starting over each time you have a question.
No Pressure, No Rush
We work at the pace that suits you. Good decisions about where to live benefit from a bit of space to think clearly.
Thinking about a longer stay on Koh Samui?
Whether you're planning a few weeks or several months, we're happy to talk through your options. No commitment, just a conversation.
Things people often ask
What areas does Coastward cover?
We focus on Koh Samui's Lamai coast. This includes beachside properties along Lamai Beach Road and hillside options with views across the southern bay. If you're considering other parts of the island, we're happy to discuss what's realistic in those areas.
What's included in the weekly rental price?
All properties are fully furnished and equipped for everyday living. Utilities are typically included or handled directly with the landlord depending on the property. We confirm this clearly before any booking is confirmed.
How does the Island Home Advisory work in practice?
We start with a conversation — usually an hour — to understand your situation, timeline, and what you're looking for in a home. From there we assemble a focused shortlist, arrange viewings, and accompany you. After each viewing we share our honest observations. The fee covers this process through to lease signing and initial settling-in support.
Can the Caretaker Retainer be added to a short-term rental?
Yes, it can. The retainer is most often used by people who are renting long-term but travel frequently. It's also available as a standalone service if you've arranged your property through another channel.
How far in advance should I get in touch?
For short-term rentals, a few weeks ahead is usually enough. For the advisory service — particularly if you have a specific area or type of property in mind — a month or two gives us more room to work carefully. That said, we're always willing to discuss your situation regardless of your timeline.
Do you work with foreign nationals and expats?
Yes, the majority of our clients are international visitors and long-stay residents. We're familiar with the questions that come up for people navigating the rental process from abroad and are happy to work through them with you.
