Ocean View House An Bang Village, Hoi An, Vietnam

Good for aspiring boat captains
Sleeps 6
Cost from £973 a week including breakfast

A few miles from the souvenir shop-lined streets of Unesco-listed Hoi An is An Bang, where the sandy shore is dotted with thung chai, traditional bamboo basket boats. Rise before dawn and you'll see An Bang's fishermen amid a mountain of nets as they paddle out to sea.

In the village, sandy paths lead between nine whitewashed houses run by a local couple (who can arrange for you try your hand at sailing a basket boat). Ocean View House (comprising adjoining buildings called Ocean Dream and Ocean Breeze, which can be rented separately or together) is the closest one to the sea. Only a lawn scattered with sun loungers and umbrellas separates the shaded patios from the sand.

Light-filled, air-conditioned rooms are whitewashed with turquoise accents, and sparsely furnished (there's a fridge, but no kitchen). Breakfast is included and a local chef can cook other meals, or you can use the communal outdoor kitchen 50m away down a sandy track.

There's a fish market nearby, or you can ride the free bikes or hire a taxi to go into Hoi An for superb restaurants and street food stalls. Closer are a handful of simple beachside eateries, sublime spots for sundowners.

The Ocean Dream Room is a two storey building attached to the Ocean Breeze Room, featuring stunning panoramic views over the beach and ocean.

The Ocean Dream Room is located on the beach with unrestricted views of the beach and ocean. This room has two floors. On the ground floor there is one double bedroom, one living room and a full open air bathroom.
