Vacation rentals with breakfast in Edava

We stayed at Vidhu's place as a last minute plan to avoid the drive back home right after a long tiring day in Trivandrum. What started as an unplanned stay turned out to be the best part of our trip. The place was absolutely beautiful and every corner of the house was picture perfect. Vidhu was very responsive and guided us through everything we needed. The care taker Stephen was also a delight to chat with. The only negative bit was not having spent longer there. A must visit, highly recommended.

We zijn op reis met ons gezin van 2 kinderen door India. Zodoende hebben we hier 5 nachten verbleven. Het verblijf was ver boven onze verwachting. De foto's en beschrijving doen de accommodatie eigenlijk tekort. Het huis is prachtig, super schoon, erg grote kamers. Je blijft maar kijken naar de details van het houtwerk. Maar het aller leukste was de gastvrijheid. De enorm vriendelijke staf die aanwezig was. We zijn uitgenodigd voor het avond eten en alles werd geregeld. De kinderen voelde zich enorm thuis. Dit is iets wat je niet vaak meemaakt op reis, het verblijf en de lieve mensen hebben een plek in ons hart. Ook bij de kinderen heeft deze accommodatie diepe indruk gemaakt en ze missen het enorm.

Such a great stay! The room is cosy, clean and everything in working order. Edwin was responsive and helpful which made check in and finding the place easy. Close to the beach and walking distance to nice restaurant. Nice outside area to sit. The home cooked South Indian breakfasts were varied and absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful stay at Griffith's house! The room was peaceful, neat, and impeccably clean, making for a very comfortable experience. The host and his family were incredibly humble, warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. He was kind enough to drop me at my office the next morning, which was a thoughtful gesture. I also enjoyed the delicious breakfast they served. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a homely and comfortable stay!

The property and the views from there are beautiful and for us it was a lovely place to get wedding ready. The pool and beautiful surroundings make it a really wonderful place; the breakfast was amazing, too. But what stood out most was the extremely caring and lovely care taker, Vipin. Vipin answered to each and every request, be it a late night hair dryer or very early morning coffee. We could not be happier with his care and responsiveness he made sure my family and I felt right at home and could relax and enjoy the beautiful views. We couldn’t have asked for more, our biggest thanks to him!

Venugopal and his wife are very welcoming and helpful. The room is simple and clean, in a structure outside their house. His wife provides breakfast in the morning. It takes 10 minutes by tuktuk from Trivandrum airport and Venugopal let me check in at 3am in the morning. As a solo travel I felt safe. I recommend this place

A truly beautiful place to stay—I had a magical experience here. The host and staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The view from the room to the sea was incredible!!! It was peaceful and scenic . They went above and beyond to help us navigate Varkala, from arranging scooty rentals to recommending great spots for buying souvenirs. Highly recommend this place for a memorable and comfortable stay!

Absolutely wonderful facility and very convenient. The host and caretaker are readily available to see to any needs tgat arise.

A clean and spacious place with amazing hospitality, suitable for families or solo travellers. It is suitably located in a residential area. The caretaker Matthew went out of his way to ensure I had a comfortable stay. Highly recommended if planning to stay in and around Trivandrum.

Villa Akasa beautifully reflects the thoughtfulness and hard work put in by Shama Aunty, Sidharth, Nakul, Raju and the entire staff in creating this perfect nook for beach lovers and homebodies like me. Loved the airy, well-lit room; spacious sit-out; elegant ponds lining the periphery of the rooms; the food (5-stars!) AND the fact that the lovely Papanasam beach is a mere 5 min walk away. The doggos have my heart! Sophie especially! Already planning another trip soon :) Wishing many many years of happy hosting to Villa Akasa folks!

This place truly feels like paradise! It carries an incredible sense of serenity and beauty. The staff and the owner are exceptionally kind and always available to help, making you feel completely safe and cared for. The yoga classes are deeply moving, and the surrounding nature allows for a profound connection. If you're looking to experience the authentic, non-touristic side of India, this is the perfect place to stay. Nestled right by the backwaters, you can enjoy a refreshing swim, and just a minute’s walk across the road brings you to the sea. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and unforgettable memory here!

We really enjoyed our stay at Jayan‘s home. We were warmly welcomed and taken care of. We received great recommendations on how to explore the neighborhood/temple, where to eat, how to get a SIM card and how to organize our further travels. There are lot of antique objects to explore in the house (also from our hometown Vienna!) Jayan and his wife provided us a really comfortable and nice stay (and a delicious breakfast as well :)).

We spent three nights at Anita’s and felt right at home from the moment we arrived. We were shown to our room, which was a non-AC accommodation. However, its location ensured that it never became too hot. Anita’s is just a two-minute walk from the coastal area of Varkala and about a 10- to 15-minute walk to the town centre. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, as well as numerous yoga classes suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to those with more experience. Breakfast is available, and laundry services can be arranged for a fee.

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful oasis of peace and tranquility! Sharma had created such a special place here, and the staff, service and home cooked food were all exceptional. We extended our stay here and were so glad we did. The beauty of nature, smiling faces, delicious Indian breakfasts and dinners all combined to soothe and refresh our bodies and souls after weeks on the road. The location is excellent- very close to a beautiful beach and across the road from a good cafe and Ayurveda clinic where we got some great massages. Sid and Pramod were a great help- very chilled, friendly, great communicators and very helpful. Couldn’t recommend this stay highly enough!

My stay here was exactly what I needed to settle me into India as a first timer. I am truly grateful for everyone who works there and are very accommodating. Their kindness is beyond measure and my heart was very happy staying here, I would most definitely return and stay again. Thank you so much, I will miss it ❤️

This place actually exceeded our expectations, it was flanked by a pristine lake and beach on the other side. The room however was the highlight of the place, my friends wanted to know where this place was after looking at my status. Its a wooden clad cottage with a rustic feel to it , ,the bathroom was sectional and was something that i’ve never seen before, amazing. If hot water was provided it would have been great.
