Beach Bay Vacation Rentals began with a simple idea: that finding a great place to stay by the sea shouldn't take a dozen browser tabs and a leap of faith. We write honest, practical guides to beach villas, island rentals and coastal escapes across Asia, from the pool villas of Bali to the quiet hideaways of Thailand's Andaman coast. If we wouldn't book it ourselves, we don't recommend it.
The site is written and run by Cole, who has spent years renting villas and beach houses up and down the region and has made most of the mistakes so you don't have to. What started as notes shared with friends turned into something more useful, a place to point people who kept asking the same good questions: where should I stay, what should I pay, and what nobody tells you until you arrive.
Behind the byline is a small team of travellers, editors and photographers who care about getting the details right. We cross-check the practical stuff, the tides, the ferry times, the deposits, and we update our guides as coastlines and rental scenes change. We're not a booking platform and we don't chase every trend; we'd rather cover fewer places properly than list everything superficially.
Above all, we write for readers who love the coast the way we do, whether that's a first villa in Seminyak or a return trip to the Gili Islands. If you have a question, a correction, or a stretch of beach you think we should cover, we'd genuinely love to hear from you at [email protected].
