Holiday rentals with beach access in Eastern Province

We really liked the place and recommend it for those looking for a quiet, clean place, close to the sea, and with several restaurant options around. The beach is good, but it is public and in a fishing area, so it is not always very clean. But the sea is always calm and the water is warm. The hotel itself exceeded my expectations, the rooms are spacious, clean, tidy and the bed is extremely comfortable. The pool is not large but it is good and clean, and the water is also warm. In our opinion, breakfast could be better and more varied. But you can always tell the staff what you want to eat for breakfast and they will do it at no cost. We didn't like what they had initially available and asked for pancakes and eggs at the reception and they did it without charging us another euro. All the staff are very friendly and attentive. We only have good things to say and hope to return one day. Thank you

Great stay at Villawonne! Very easy communication with the host and nice and helpful welcome by the housekeepers. The apartment is well-equiped and comfortable. The rooms are indeed quite cool at night even just with fans and without AC. The open setup has a cool vibe, and even when there are mosquitoes, the net over the beds are well-constructed and effective. We would come back!

First, the essential comments: the place was Clean, Comfortable and Convenient: The Three Big C's for a good homestay experience ). It looked and functioned as advertised in the listing and photos, and I truly feel as if I got much more than I paid for, due to a crucial factor: I arrived in a limited mobility state, several days before a caretaker friend joined me. I was compromised to a degree both physically and mentally. Wthout the caring, kind and generous attention of the host family to my welfare and well being, they who lived in the same domicile on the floor below, my experience at Chandrakanthan's place would have been very different indeed. Batticoloa is an exceptionally beautiful town with lots to offer visitors of all ilks and inclinations; so, without reservation, I offer Chandrakanath and his wife, Priya, my absolute highest recommendation for a pleasant and rewarding homestay experience in a delightful environment. Mark my words: you will be glad you did.

It was a nice place with a beautiful view and a very friendly host.

Exceeded our expectations. We had a slightly larger party and good hotel options were sold out or crazy expensive by the time we looked, hence we booked this. We are glad we ended up here than in a hotel. Apartment was clean and well maintained. Pool and outside the same. There are front desk staff, porters, ground/pool keepers, onsite restaurant, etc. Beach next to the place is very nice. Highly recommend.

First things first, the photos don’t do the place justice! The apartment really is beautiful, there is so much space, it is very well equipped and felt really homely. The pool area is excellent and you are right on the beach. It’s perfect for early morning walks and evening swims, of which we did both. The bed was really comfortable too. Handy having a restaurant on site. Highly recommend this property.

We had a great stay at Sasi's place. We had parking inside, it was right next to an amazing beach and Sasi went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs for our small children. We would highly recommend. Thank you!

Was a great stay ! New building and close to a 5 star resort with a beautiful beach - day tickets available

All will be good and comfortable. Thanks!

We can only recommend staying in this Villa. It is very quiet, but still close to the main street with all the restaurants and surf shops and has three private rooms, a basic kitchen and living area. The communication with the host was easy and his father was close by to help with any issues. The only negative aspect was that our room wasn't cleaned propperly. Probably that was because we were there at the beginning of the season and it had been empty for a longer time. The rest of the villa was clean.

Nice place for staying with friends and family

This place was lovely, the decor and cleanliness was 5 star. The location to the beach and having a pool right outside was ideal for our family. Rooms are spacious, with the master bedroom having an ensuite too. The caretaker was helpful and polite checking in and out. The area is a good mix between being secluded and a short walk from a few restaurants and activities.

Very nice clean apartment in a great location to the beach. Through the management of a reception, you always had a point of contact, Kay was quick to respond to our messages. The only criticism is the little available loungers by the pool. The apartment had a great view of the sea.

Had a lovely stay in Trincomalee in this beautiful condo right on the beach within walkable distance to some restaurants via the beach. If you turn right and walk approximately 10 minutes you can reach salty dogs lovely little restaurant and if you turn left along beach your near pigeon island, highly recommended. Didn’t use the kitchen so can’t comment on that. Host is very responsive would definitely return

We stayed here for 6 nights at the end of a three week trip around Sri Lanka. It was a great way to end the trip, in a clean, air-conditioned and spacious apartment overlooking the sea. The setting is perfect - sunrise over the sea and picture postcard beach and palms in between. The apartment is part of a larger complex, but it never felt crowded and the pool and surrounding greenery were lovely. It’s clean, comfortable and spacious, perfect for a family. There are a few restaurants and amenities within walking distance but most stuff is either a hot walk or a tuk tuk ride away. It’s worth pointing out that if you’re planning to self-cater, there aren’t many grocery stores in the area and those that are there are sometimes sparsely provisioned. We tended to have breakfast in the apartment and then lunch and dinner locally. All in all, a fantastic base for a relaxing few days - we’d happily return and can equally happily recommend it.

Beautiful place. Very clean. The pools and beach are amazing. The restaurant on site is good and cheap. The wifi only seemed to work in the morning.

Where do I start? We arrived and were struck by the beautiful pool and gardens. The apartment is stunning - palacial in size! The photos don’t do it justice and the huge balcony offers stunning views of the garden, pool and beach. It was honestly the best apartment we’ve ever stayed in. The condo manager was also friendly and helpful with any queries we had. We had planned to visit Trinco but decided to make the most of the apartment and beach to relax. The balcony offers the perfect location to capture the awesome sunrise over the ocean. We used a local company (Pigeon Island Tours) to visit Pigeon Island for a snorkel safari - amazing sea life! We could have stayed longer but regretfully had to continue our adventure of this beautiful country. The apartment was a 10/10! Thank you Nalinda.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Nilaveli condos and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. Host Tisura was very supportive. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Direct access to the beautiful Nilaveli Beach. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the view of the ocean , I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay and enjoy the Nilaveli beach .I’ll definitely be returning on my next visit!

Lovely apartment in the very quiet area of Nilaveli. Beautiful beach right on your doorstep and a lovely well maintained pool.
