At the conclusion of our holiday, I want to express my great gratitude to the people who helped to organize it, namely Katerina and Gregory.
The guys quickly found what we liked, met us on the unfamiliar island of Samui, and settled in a paradise.

Feedback - on them depends the decision: buy or not this thing, go or not to this hotel, have dinner or not in this cafe / restaurant and so on. Feedback is a source of information, so I'll try to be objective.

My first winter in Tae (Samui) with 2 children (1.5 and 3.5).

Car and lodging rental: you have 3 options
1. online booking sites (such as bookings, etc.)
2. independent search
3. Agents (agencies) of the island are Russian / English speaking, etc.

1. Online booking sites are more expensive than direct, photos do not always correspond to what is currently, as a rule, made and exhibited at the first placement of the object, reviews are often subjective: a lot of emotions, few facts, prepayment. However, there are guarantees that the Malmalians can not refund money.

2. Self-search - with 2 children, tired of the road and a small age is still a pleasure, there is a place to be if you have quiet children and iron nerves. Pros: a guarantee that you will get what you want for a smaller amount than the 1st and 3rd option, just look and check everything yourself. We tried, not our option, with 2 children spent a lot of time searching, then drink, that is, then fell into the pool, then I want to go to the sea ... .time ... .. now. It will take more than one day to search.

3.Agent (agency) - lack of any guarantees, work on parole, prepayment. If you are lucky and the Agent (agency) is honest, works for a long time, there is a response and none from real people with the opportunity to contact them, the site, then you are lucky, but there is always a risk and it is higher than under 1 and 2, 100% guarantees no one will give (((

Having considered, after trying all the options, I stopped at point 3. Next comes the logical question of why "Second Home", and not someone else?

Rent a car: quick answers on arrival to all questions (availability of cars, what, the price, the time when they bring, the contract of conclusion and extension, child seats, crash car, car breakdown, car replacement) by phone, VC, Vatsap, VibER, Skype. Cheaper than direct to the local, not much, except if you are only a bargaining guru and the local will give you a car for a penny. Cheaper than other agents (agencies) with whom I corresponded (3-4 pieces).

Renting a house: I was in correspondence with the Russian Federation with 3-4 agents (agencies) of the island. After considering all the options for everyone and weighing everything, decided to rent not in advance, but on the spot. Katie's quick answers to free housing, the display of housing at a convenient time, the commission is lower than that of other agents (agencies) on the island. Departure for a contract, even if it's almost 10pm. The ability to provide you with photos / videos in real time. Well, if you do not have language knowledge, this option is also more appropriate.

Cons for me personally when working with "Second Home": the lack of a good, high-quality database that you would open, looked at the photo / video and the price of the object and location. But this is the trouble of all the island agents (agencies) with whom I communicated. (We did not have a website at that time)

In general, a very good impression of working with Katya and Grisha, from the guys themselves. All quickly, clearly, in essence, with a low commission, tell where to go, what to see, where to eat.

To trust or not-this is certainly the decision of each of you, which is up to me, then we are going to wintering again, the children are growing up, I know the island well, I can rent a car / house myself, but I will still use the services of "Second Home" again. Why?

Because it is convenient, comfortable without unnecessary time costs, the most valuable currency is time))))

Well, if you have any questions, please. My viber is +79126922547.

Want to sip a cocktail in your own jacuzzi on the balcony with such a stunning view or football in your own apartment (only with an inflatable ball)))). And a swimming pool with a stunned view. Address to children from Second Home. Thank you, Katya and Grisha, for the magnificent apartments, for the help in renting the car and for being always in touch. We will definitely return!
