Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Mararikulam

Alex's mum and dad, Babu and Jansi will look after you with every consideration. The breakfast Jansi makes is magnificent! Healthy, home-cooked Keralan food, different every day. The apartment is immaculately maintained, clean and quiet. It even has a small porch over-looking the waterways. Your kitchen and open area upstairs is substantial, with cooking facilities, fridge, washing machine and large terrace. You can be entirely self-sufficient or walk about 10 minutes to local restaurants. Babu is a wealth of knowledge and even helped me look for an apartment, which was the main point of my stay. I cannot recommend this stay more highly. Everything is done so well. Thank you.

I was there for a month. Idyllic place in a quiet, rural area, a 45 second walk to the beach, with a porch from which you can hear the sound of waves crashing. Hot shower and cool A/C. The best service I’ve ever had at an Airbnb by Jeffin, who happily made me meals and brought me tea throughout the day. Challenges as a digital nomad: the wifi is usually fast, but it goes down several times a day, and the cellular data is usually only 1 or 2 bars from the room. Power outages are at least once a day. There is a power backup, but it requires turning the generator on (which was done). The room only has a narrow window. I wished that there was a screen on the window so that I could turn the A/C off at night and open the window without bugs coming in. I hope that this place gets more reliable internet by upgrading to fiber and getting a power inverter, and a mobile signal booster. Finally, it states that there is a beach view. This is not true. But overall, I was happy and productive.

Our one night stay @ Marari beach villa hosted by EV Raju became a memory to cherish simply because of the host , his family and the service staff. Raju, the wonderful host, along with his wife, left no stone unturned to make us feel at home. He went out of the way, arranged a birthday party for us. His eagerness to serve and go that extra mile is what makes this place worth every nickle. However, it would help more if they had a formal tie-up with nearby restaurants for food.

This is an amazing property in one of the best loction. To top it all, Mrs. Leni prepared amazing meals for us. I'm definetly visiting this place again.

Wow! I love this place! Roy is an absolute mega-host, the room was big enough for yoga and exercise, the WiFi was fast and stable enough for me to work, and Roy, Raji, and the whole host family welcomed us with open hearts. I also appreciated the outdoor shower (great for washing sand off my feet) and the great times we spent with Roy, his family, and neighbors, playing music, dancing, and eating delicious home-cooked food. It’s felt like the perfect home away from home, right near the beach!!!! 🏝️

Sajid helped us a lot regarding stay and our irregular check out timings. He arranged bikes and car despite being it being a Sunday. It was a good stay overall. Would recommend.

Had a wonderful stay at Riverdale Homestay! it's truly home away from home. There are only good things to say about my experience here. The location and home are really nice and well maintained, and the host is very cooperative and helpful. I really loved the local Cuisines, especially the breakfast prepared by the host and his family. The rooms are very comfortable, neat and clean. I would love to stay here again, and recommend the place for other guests.

At the ILLIKKALAM Lakeside Cottages, staff is very helpful, service quick, and food fresh and tasty and served with smile. A great place for family get together. View from the lake side rooms is stunning. Great experience if you looking at unwinding amidst nature. The management team is also accommodative of genuine requests where possible. We had a family emergency and hence had to reschedule the trip by one day. Mrs. Susan Salim accommodated our requests. We thank the management for their understanding. Overall, we had a very nice family time at ILLIKKALAM Lakeside Cottages. Would love to come back. Best wishes/ Vatsa
