Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Rekawa Lagoon

Eva is very friendly, helpful and replied to our messages quickly. The property manager Tharushan was very friendly and helpful when there were powercuts, he would let us know or turn on the generator if we needed it. He showed us all the facilities when we arrived. The apartment is beautiful, spacious and such a luxury to stay in. The shower was hot and powerful! It was very handy having the AC and fan as it was really hot during our stay. The neighbourhood is very peaceful and the neighbours are very friendly. There is a restaurant nearby (30 second walk) and their Sri Lankan curry buffet is a must-try! We were sad to leave this luxury apartment.

Can’t recommend this place enough whilst visiting the beach!! Suraj was so lovely with showing me around, it’s the perfect place to stay!!

I had an amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! The space was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. The bed was super comfortable, and I appreciated all the little touches like fresh towels & plenty of replacements for the filtered water dispenser. The location was lovely, peaceful and close to everything I needed. Suresh was so friendly, responsive, and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. We loved it & extended our stay!! I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! Thank you 🙏

Accommodation right by turtle beach, the host informed us by message when the first turtle called in at night, very friendly, breakfast was delicious ! Quiet location ! Beautiful beach within walking distance ! Absolute special feature: you can see both the sunrise and the sunset! Wonderful big long. Beach , not many people, still the possibility to rent loungers and have shade! Great!

We had a great stay at Bandula’s villa! Bandula was so helpful and friendly. The place was clean and perfectly located. We would 100% stay here again if we came back to Sri Lanka

We had an amazing stay! The house is surrounded by lush greenery, palm trees, and wildlife, making it feel like a jungle retreat. Secret Beach is just a 3-minute walk away—a stunning, secluded cove with soft sand, swaying palms, and crystal-clear water. Our host was fantastic, always helpful and ensuring we had everything we needed. The spacious kitchen and well-maintained house made our stay extra comfortable. Located just minutes from Mirissa, yet peaceful and immersed in nature. Renting a scooter made exploring even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

We were four friends travelling together and spent 9 nights at Anjana's. The rooms were immaculate, the beds so comfortable and the location great - quiet and peaceful garden with monkeys and birds yet close to the beach. Indika cooked for us whenever we requested and the food was absolutely delicious. Anjana was quick to respond and always helpful with whatever information we needed . Harshan was our driver for the whole of our stay and made our overall experience such a pleasure, taking us to Bundela Reserve at 5.00 and most mornings pick up by tuktuk at 6.30 to the beach before the day grew too hot, back in the evenings to Happy House and out again, always so willing and helpful but never intrusive - a true gentleman. He even took my broken glasses home to repair. Overall our experience at Happy House was a pure delight and it was lovely to meet Anjana and Indika's beautiful family. We were sad to leave but will always remember the open hearted kindness and generosity of everone

Super host! Super attentive people who think along with everything, even took us with the tuktuk to our next stay! Recommended!!

We rented the place for 6 days. The place is very clean and spacious. The apartment has 2 air-conditioned bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a small kitchen. It is located close to the center of Mirissa. The center is also within walking distance (about 10 minutes). The family renting the apartment live directly below in their own apartment. The hosts are super friendly. Dilukshi is quick to answer any questions. She also organized tuk-tuk drivers for us when we needed one. Everything was as described and we had a great time in Mirissa.

We loved our stay! The garden and pool were terrific, the staff was very nice and the Place was super clean!

The location of the house was absolutely stunning. Right on the beach which was empty and felt like our own was dreamy, peaceful and idyllic. Lakmal, Dulan and Nihal were so helpful and attentive to all our needs. The breakfasts and dinners Lakmal made every day were absolutely stunning! We had so much variety and a real taste of Sri Lankan cuisine. They looked after us so well and arranged tuk tuks for us when we wanted them. It’s worth taking toiletries as these weren’t provided but honestly i would absolutely recommend this house as a great base to do a morning safari and enjoy the peaceful surrounds. Great value for money!

Our room at Chandi's was amazing. We loved our stay at her place. Chandi is so kind. You'll feel right at home thanks to its discreet presence but always available if needed. Chandi cooks delicious breakfasts that I warmly recommend. Plus, the home overlooks a beautiful garden. If we return to the area, we will return to Chandi's place.

Harshana and family are excellent hosts. I was looking for a quiet vacation spot and that's what I found. Access to multiple markets for purchasing fresh fruit and vegetables, beach life including surfing lessons, rentals and cabana life, are all within walking distance. Suggestions for local specialties and eateris are encouraged. Treat bags gifts with Hoppers, and fresh baked goods made me experiment more with local delicacies. This stay will be tough to beat. Finally, Matara's people are friendly and helpful. As good as the world could ask for.

Excellent property and amazing host 😃

I had an amazing stay at ISI Villa Dikwella! The villa is exceptionally clean and well maintained, with comfortable rooms and beautiful beachfront views. Its location is perfect right on the beach and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and everything you need. The host was outstanding, providing excellent communication and support throughout my stay, making everything smooth and stress free. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, convenient, and well cared for getaway. I’ll definitely be back!

A great stay by the ocean. I loved going to sleep to the sound of the waves and watching the turtles right out the front. Lots of food and bar options within walking distance. Definitely recommend!

We stayed at Sanjayas place for four nights. The family was super kind and helped us with local advice such as restaurants and must-sees close by. They arranged transport to the house and again when we left. Their hospitality was warm and made us feel welcome. We would definitly recommend this place to others.

I highly recommend Sanjayas place, it is in a quiet and beautiful area with its own private entrance, walking distance to the local restaurants and beaches. The room was perfect with a great terrace, Sanjaya and his family are wonderful. I hope to be back again.

Great apartment, had all the basic necessities! The host and family were so incredibly helpful! Gave us a number for a great tuck tuck driver, warned us about the rambunctious monkeys that like to stop by, tried to keep us up to date on the power outages and more. It’s a lovely little jungle villa, with that being said, jungle = lots of bugs, there’s no way around it. Just don’t leave any open food out and that will help lessen the bug situation. Also, mirissa beach (great spot for restaurants and beach days) is a bit too far to walk, so I’d recommend getting a scooter or a bike and the host has a person for that too!! All around, would stay again if we come back to Sri Lanka! Host and family were so so so helpful and friendly!

We had a good stay at Praneeth’s place. The accommodation was clean, new, and well-maintained. Praneeth was more than helpful throughout our stay, and his mother was very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for the great hospitality!

We had a wonderful stay at Sahan’s place - the location was perfect being a few minutes walk from Blue Beach on one side and Hiriketiya on the other with amazing restaurant/ seafood choices. Avisa was always on hand with great suggestions of what to do and he booked us lots of TukTuks and taxis, he was very helpful. He also served a great breakfast in the garden every morning. The only downside is that the living room part of the apartment became very hot, but the views to the sea from there were great.

We were a family with two children and a medium-sized dog. There is a place to park the car under the roof, the street on which the house stands is wide and clear. This is essentially the second floor of the house with its own entrance and staircase. The second floor has a place to sit outside and enjoy the view. There is also a balcony and air conditioning in one of the two rooms. The second room has a floor fan and the living room has a ceiling fan. There is a ~43' TV in the living room with a comfortable sofa. The inside is spacious and cozy. The kitchen can be said to be on the balcony area, one burner, a small refrigerator and a good washing machine. The host kindly provided an extra table in one room, a drying rack for clothes. The host was always willing to help. We are happy with our 16 day stay in this nice place
