We stayed in one of the villas during our autumn trip in Thailand and Singapore. It was the last part of our journey and we wanted to have lazy days in beautiful place.
What we like:
-Well equipped house with everything we need and even more (e.g. waterproof bags save our staff from flooding in boat taxi and ice cubes ready-to-use were excellent)
- Variety of services provided (free tuk-tuk till 6:00 p.m. to the center and beach, ordering food, mobile phone to connect with your own manager, good cleaning)
- Private pool, small, but very nice
- Adequate price

Pay attention to:
- Beach is 7-10 min drive from villa
- Shops are 5 min drive
- Residential area, you are not allowed to make noise after 10:00 p.mm
- Close to another villas so you can hear your neighbors

We enjoyed our stay at the Santhiya villa. The villas are more suited to large groups. Although the Tuk Tuk service is very good and very useful as we found the villa to be a little way out of town. The staff are very good and the villas are cleaned everyday.

We felt the villas needed a little maintenance, the kitchen was tired and not a great place to cook family meals. The bathrooms could do with a little bit of TLC also. This is not too much of a problem as the restaurants in the local area are excellent and takeaways are a good option.

Had another great holiday in Krabi staying in Baan Santhiya Villas, it was over Easter and there were 5 of us, was a perfect place for us to unwind by the pool. Having the use of the Villa's taxi to get around until 1800 is another bonus. Ao nang has even got a Tesco as to get reasonable groceries, next door to Ao Nang whiskey shop which has beer and cider as well. Few nice eating places in town, especially worth mentioning is Hilltop restaurant which is ideal for sunset dining. We will return again, Bang, cheers Rob!

While planning our Krabi trip airport shuttle for my extended family, I accidentally found Baan Santhiya website at Krabishuttle.com website.(same owner). I thought it was a good deal to pass and after verifying with the other families, we booked this place for our group of 7 adults and 5 children which consist of retirees and little children

Booking was easy with Rob confirming your booking almost immediately and securing by Paypal.
On the day of pickup, the ever smiling Bang was there to pick us up and sent us quickly using the comfortable KrabiShuttle van to the bungalow. Rob came over to also welcome us.
Bang was ever so helpful to arrange the tour packages and getting us dicounts. She has great experience and knowledge on what package to suit you.
House was kept clean everyday and there is always an ample supply of towels. They even provide beach towels for the island tours, waterproof bags and beach mats.
There is a nice small swimming pool within the bungalow.
The bungalows are equipped with a safe with double locking system using the key(you will be given one) and you add in your number.
There is a washing machine and hanging rack at the back of the house. Just bring your own detergent.
Utensils are all available if you want to cook for yourself at the house.
There is a Tesco nearby and the ever mentioned bakery for your bread needs. Just be aware of the stray or guard dogs that might come near and bark at you outside at the roads, the best option is to rent the scooter or bike to ride around for minor chores. Otherwise the ever present Ron(tuktuk driver) is always there to bring us everywhere in Aonang in the tuktuk.
The HP given is a great idea so that we can use to contact either Bang or Ron.
Pick up for return transfer was quick and because the office and headquarters for Krabishuttle are there, we were whisk off to the airport efficiently fast.
We were sad to leave but then hopefully will return next time.
Definitely a recommended place to stay in Aonang.
In summary, its not near the beach but not that very far either, the house is clean and well kept, just off the main road and very quiet and privacy is not a problem. There is a security guard on duty after 6pm so dont worry about it.
Hope who book this place in future will have the same happy time as us and all the best to the guys at Krabishuttle and Baan Santhiya.

From the moment we booked, we felt that there was a sense of good professionalism within the villa organization...the pick-up at the airport, the transfer, the explanation from the office staff in regards to the villa, excursions, usage of the tul-tuk, the cleanliness, the daily change of linen, etc...Absolutely fantastic...I would put a six stars on the review if it was possible...my familly and I had the best holiday in years, thanks to the perfectly well appointed villa and great service from the service team. I hilghly recommend and will for sure return again next year if i can.

I was looking for a relaxing week in Krabi with my husband and parents and booked Baan Santhiya for six nights based on the positive reviews I've read online. It was a truly enjoyable experience.

There are 3 villas for rent along a quiet cul de sac off the main road towards Aonang Beach and our villa (no. 2) was all that was advertised and more. We were provided with a local mobile phone which was amazingly reassuring as we knew help was just a phonecall away. The villa was cleaned daily with plenty of beach and bathroom towels provided. The area around the villas was very serene and it was a real pleasure waking up to birdsong in the morning. The pool in the villa was fantastic for dips through the day.

We did most of our exploring in the Tuk Tuk - about 5-7 mins to Aonang Beach, 10-15 mins to Nopparat Thara Beach, 20 mins to Long Beach (300 baht one way) and 20 mins to Krabi Town (chargeable at 800 baht round trip). It is worth checking the tidal timings as we got that wrong on our first day and went to Long Beach at low tide. We had most of our breakfasts at the bakery recommended by the staff, U&P Bakery which was about a 10-12mins walk from the villa. The walk to the Bakery wasn't the most enjoyable as it is along the main road and there was quite a bit of traffic but the breakfasts made up for that :)

We had a thoroughly enjoyable time at Baan Santhiya and would not hesitate to return for another holiday soon. Many thanks to Rob and his staff (especially Bang, A and Ron) and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet stay away from the hubbub of the tourist areas.
