Vung Tau's BEST Kept Secret: K&K Homestay's UNBELIEVABLE Ocean Views!
Vung Tau's BEST Kept Secret: K&K Homestay – Seriously, You NEED to Book This Place! (An Unfiltered Review)
Okay, people, listen up! I just got back from bliss – and I’m here to spill the beans on Vung Tau’s best-kept secret: K&K Homestay. Forget everything you think you know about cookie-cutter hotels. This place is… well, it’s magic. And not the fake, Instagram-filtered kind. We’re talking genuine, sun-drenched, ocean-breeze-in-your-hair magic.
(Pause for dramatic effect. Seriously, the views… woah.)
Accessibility (and a Grumble):
Let's get the practical stuff out of the way first. While K&K is technically accessible, it's not perfectly wheelchair-accessible. There's an elevator, for sure (thank goodness!), but maneuvering around the pathways and some of the rooms might be a little tricky. (Accessibility) I didn't personally need it, But they are really trying, and kudos to them for that.
Internet & Techy Stuff (Because We're All Addicted):
Okay, techies! I know, I know. You're thinking, "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms, are we talking the Jurassic era?" NO! K&K's got you covered. (Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, Wi-Fi in public areas, Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services.) The Wi-Fi? Surprisingly decent. I even managed to stream a movie without buffering (major victory!). You can also, if you're old school, plug in with LAN (Internet [LAN]), which I didn't even know people still did. K&K, you adorable relics!
Cleanliness & Safety (Because, You Know, This Is Still Important):
This is where K&K really shines. Seriously, I’m a bit of a germaphobe (don’t judge!), and I felt completely at ease. (Cleanliness and safety, Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Rooms sanitized between stays, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment) The staff are ON IT. They're using the good stuff, and they actually care. You can opt out of room sanitization (Room sanitization opt-out available) if you are picky. The staff are also pretty quick to help you out if you need anything.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking (Oh, The FOOD!)
Okay, let's talk food. Because, honestly, that's like, 80% of the reason I travel. K&K’s got a killer restaurant. (Restaurants, Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant, A la carte in restaurant, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, Poolside bar, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant). Okay, let's be real: their Asian breakfast? To DIE for. I'm not even a huge breakfast person, but every morning I’d wake up, race down, and devour a plate of, I think it was, pho (noodle soup), or maybe some other amazing Vietnamese dish. The buffet is amazing! The coffee? STRONG. The desserts? Don't even get me started. I would rate the food as excellent. and they serve it poolside too! And at the bar, (Bar) they offer happy hour!
The Breakfast Anecdote…Because It Was That Good:
So, one morning, I went down a little late for breakfast, completely hungover from the night before (another victory for the pool bar!), and the buffet was winding down. I was a little… grumpy. But the amazing staff, saw me struggling, offered me a fresh, custom-made plate of… I can’t even describe it, except it was a symphony of flavors and textures. They knew exactly what I needed, even when I didn’t. That, my friends, is service. That’s the kind of place K&K is.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Because, You Know, That's the Point):
Right, so, the reason you're coming to K&K is for the relaxation. (Things to do, ways to relax, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]) And yes, the pool… the infinity pool… with the view… It's as good as it gets. I spent hours just floating, staring out at the ocean, feeling like I was the only person on Earth. (Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage). They offer massages! And there's a spa. And the fitness center is actually pretty good. I did try one of the body wraps for some reason and the foot bath was something I wanted. I think I went to the Sauna twice. You can also do a body scrub if you like that.
Rooms & Creature Comforts (My Personal Obsession is the Rain Shower!):
Okay, the rooms. Remember when I said magic? The rooms are part of it. (Available in all rooms, Additional toilet, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complementary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.) They're modern, clean, and have everything you need (and everything you didn't know you needed!). My top favorite thing: the rain shower. Pure bliss. They also had a perfectly stocked minibar (important!), a comfy bed, and a balcony with… you guessed it… STUNNING ocean views.
Services & Conveniences (Because Life Without Laundry is Not a Life):
They've got all the usual stuff: (Services and conveniences, Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center.) laundry service, an elevator, a convenience store (for those late-night snack attacks), and a concierge who's genuinely helpful. The contactless check-in/out was super convenient!
For the Kids (And Those Who Love Them):
Okay, parents! K&K is family-friendly. (For the kids, Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal). They have kids' meals, babysitting services, and facilities to keep the little ones entertained. This is one place where the whole family can relax.
Getting Around (Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy):
Getting to K&K is easy, and they offer airport transfer (Airport transfer). They also have free parking (Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]).
Safety & Security (Because Peace of Mind is Priceless):
They've got security measures in place, including CCTV cameras (CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms).
My Verdict: GO!
Listen, I'm not exaggerating. K&K Homestay is a hidden gem. It's not just a place to stay; it's an experience. It's the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and genuine Vietnamese hospitality. And those views… I'm already dreaming of going back.
But, Here’s the MOST Important Thing…
Stop reading reviews and BOOK IT! Seriously. Don’t overthink it. Just book. You won't regret it. The end.

Shah Alam Luxury Villa: 7pax, WiFi, Netflix, Parking! (i-City Near!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your glossy brochure itinerary. This is life, Vung Tau-style, courtesy of K&K Homestay and The Song. Let's see if we can survive this… and maybe, just maybe, have some fun.
K&K & Chaos: A Vung Tau Ramble
Day 1: Arrival & Initial Panic (plus, the view… oh, the view!)
1:00 PM (ish): Arrive at Tan Son Nhat Airport (SGN), sweating like a pig in a sauna. Taxi haggling ensues. I swear, my negotiation skills are inversely proportional to the humidity level. Eventually, cave and pay the extra few dong. The ride to Vung Tau? Let's just say it involved a near-death experience involving a scooter, a rogue motorbike taxi, and a particularly aggressive bus. Good times.
3:00 PM (ish): Arrive at K&K Homestay (address: gotta find that place! ) and immediately feel… relieved. The gate? Secret Garden style! The staff? Sweet and welcoming (bless their hearts, dealing with my jet lag). And then…the view… The Song. It takes my breath away. Seriously. Right at the first glance, I could almost touch the sea.
3:30 PM: Room check-in. I'm pretty sure I booked the "seaview" room, and the view? AMAZING. But the air con? Does it work? Nope. Sigh. The heat is oppressive.
4:00 PM: First mission: find some water and a functioning fan. Success! (sort of).
4:30 PM: Quick, desperate attempt to unpack. Realize I forgot my favourite sunscreen. (Cue dramatic internal screaming).
5:00 PM: Walk around the area with the intention to find a quick bite. It's so warm. I get a little bit dizzy.
6:00 PM: Dinner: some place with a good ocean view. It was a little bit more of a tourist trap than I was expecting after it's all said and done, but the fresh seafood made up for it. (Maybe). Sat at the table, drinking water, and people-watching. I find a couple taking a selfie. And suddenly start wondering about my life's accomplishments.
7:30 PM: Attempt to walk on the beach. The tide is high, and the beach is messy. Try to go back.
8:30 PM: Back at the homestay. The aircon is still struggling. I sit on the balcony, staring at the sea. The waves are crashing. I feel a sense of peace. Then, a mosquito decides to join the party. I swat, I swear, I lose the fight.
9:30 PM: bed time
Day 2: Motorbike Mayhem & Beach Bliss (sort of)
8:00 AM: Wake up! The sun is shining. Get some coffee.
9:00 AM: The plan: rent a motorbike. The reality: fear. Vietnamese traffic is, let's just say, vibrant. After much internal debate, I take the plunge. (and I get the motorbike.)
9:30 AM: The first 10 minutes = Pure panic. The next 30 = Mostly panic. By the end of the hour, I'm feeling semi-confident. (Or at least, not actively trying to crash into everything.) I have a few close calls.
10:30 AM: Head towards the Big Buddha of Vung Tau. The ride up is breathtaking. The Buddha? Spectacular. The views from the top? Worth the effort.
11:30 AM: Head to the Christ of Vung Tau. It's a real workout to get there! But the view is beyond that of the Big Buddha.
12:30 PM: Lunchtime. Find a local spot. The food is amazing. I even try (and almost succeed) in using chopsticks.
2:00 PM: Beach time! Head to the beaches of Vung Tau. I get my swim in. Back to the hotel and take a good shower.
4:00 PM: Rest and relaxation. Watching the sunset.
7:00 PM: Dinner. Some place with the best seafood.
Day 3: Markets, Memories & the Long Goodbye
9:00 AM: Breakfast at the Homestay. Talk with the other guests.
10:00 AM: Visit the Vung Tau Market. (It's as chaotic and wonderful as you'd imagine). Attempt to bargain. Fail spectacularly. Buy random souvenirs.
12:00 PM: Lunch. Grab last some spring rolls. I buy ice-cream.
1:00 PM: Pack my bags. Reflect on the trip.
2:00 PM: Checkout. Say goodbye to the staff at K&K Homestay.
2:30 PM: The ride back to the airport. More near-death experiences are survived.
5:00 PM: Flight to home.
The Verdict:
Vung Tau? A chaotic, beautiful mess. K&K and The Song? A little slice of paradise in the midst of the madness. I'll be back. Eventually. Probably. (After I've recovered from all the motorbike riding.) And next time, I'm bringing extra sunscreen.

Vung Tau's BEST Kept Secret: K&K Homestay - Your Ocean View Obsession! Frequently Asked Questions (and my brain dump)
Okay, okay, spill the beans! Why is *everyone* raving about K&K Homestay's views? And are they *REALLY* that good?
Alright, buckle up, buttercups. The *views* at K&K? They're not "good." They're the kind of views that make you question your life choices – in a *good* way, mostly. Like, you'll be checking your bank balance to see if you can just… move in permanently. I'm talking, floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the ENTIRE freaking ocean. Sunrise? Forget about it. Sunset? Prepare to weep. I swear, I spent a solid hour one afternoon just staring out the window, feeling my worries just… dissolve. It's the kind of view that makes you want to write poetry (even if you're terrible at it, like me).
Honestly? I was skeptical. Instagram is full of beautiful places, right? But K&K's views? Different level. Real. Authentic. You can practically smell the sea salt.
Is K&K Homestay actually *near* the water? Or is it, like, ocean-adjacent, but mostly overlooking a parking lot? (Asking for a friend… and myself. Repeatedly.)
LOL! No parking lot views here, friend! K&K is practically ON the water. Okay, dramatic license, again. But seriously, you're closer to the ocean than you are to sanity, at least initially. You can literally hear the waves crashing, and the salty spray sometimes… *almost* reaches your balcony (depending on the weather, of course, and how enthusiastically the sea is feeling that day). I actually tried to touch the ocean from the balcony once. Do I regret it? Honestly? A little. But mostly, I'd do it again. Don't judge.
You're steps away from a nice little beach. Nothing crazy luxurious, but enough sand to wiggle your toes in and generally feel blissful. It's the perfect starting point. I took a nap on the beach. Best nap *ever*.
Alright, let's talk rooms. What's the vibe? Are we talking cramped shoebox or spacious, airy paradise? (And, seriously, can I get a balcony?)
Okay, the rooms… are not massive, but they are thoughtfully designed. Think: clean lines, calming colours, and the *focus*, of course, is the glorious view. And YES, you most likely will get a balcony. That's the point, people! The balcony is where you'll be spending 90% of your time, sipping coffee, watching the boats, and probably contemplating life's big questions (like, "Should I order another plate of spring rolls?").
I'm not going to lie, I initially booked the cheapest room. I’m cheap. I thought, “Well, the view will be amazing anyway, right?” WRONG. I regretted that immediately. So, for the love of vacation, SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY for a room with the balcony and the best possible view. You’ll thank me later. Seriously, thank me. I'm always right. (Mostly)
What's the deal with the service? Is it friendly and helpful, or are you on your own to fend for yourself? (Because I need help choosing what to eat for breakfast!)
The service at K&K is awesome. The owners are super welcoming and actually seem to care that you're enjoying yourself. They are really friendly and always willing to help, and they offer good tips around the town.
I needed help choosing what to eat, and their breakfast recommendations were heavenly. Always get the pho from that local place, and... OH MY GOD, the coffee. I still dream about it!
Is there anything *I wouldn't* like about K&K? (Be honest. I can handle it. Probably.)
Okay, *fine*. Look, nothing's perfect. And if I'm being *super* picky… the occasional seagull squawk can penetrate even the most serene moments (it's the ocean, what do you expect?). And, alright–the walls aren't soundproof. So if you're a light sleeper and your neighbor has an, umm, *enthusiastic* karaoke session, you *might* hear it. I did. It was… interesting. But hey, it's part of the experience, right? And who doesn’t love a good karaoke?
Also, the walk up to the rooms if you are on one of the higher floor, can be a little tiring (especially after a day involving too many spring rolls), but the view? TOTALLY worth it. I would hike Mt. Everest for this view, honestly.
Okay, you've convinced me. How do I *actually* book a room? Is it a nightmare? (I hate booking things.)
Nope! Booking is actually pretty straightforward. Check booking website or any travel websites. It’s easy, even for a booking-averse person like myself. Just don't leave it to the last minute, because, trust me, this place is POPULAR. I'd book it NOW if I were you. Seriously, go! Don't debate it further. You will not regret this.
And for the love of all that is holy, order the seafood. Just…trust me on that.
Tell me, if you could only pick ONE memory from your K&K experience, what would it be? (Besides, you know, the views.)
Okay, this is a tough one. Seriously, I spent DAYS staring at the ocean, so there's a lot to choose from! But…okay, here's what sticks with me: It was that first morning. I'd booked the room, stressed because of work stuff. I got there late, basically crawled into bed. Woke up to the sunrise. And it wasn’t just the COLORS, it was the… the *feeling*. That feeling of peace. I sat on the balcony, drink some coffee, and just… breathed. The world felt, for the first time in months, *right*. I felt calm. I felt…content. And I thought, "Okay, this is it. This is why I travel."
I spent the whole day just walking around, completely lost and loving it. I didn't check my phone. I didn't think of work or responsibilities. I just soaked it all in. And that feeling? That's why K&K is a secret worth sharing.
