Best vacation homes & holiday rentals in Kedah

This list covers Kedah businesses where a holiday chalet, pool villa, or vacation home is the core offering, not a side amenity, ranked by our earned composite methodology that weighs rating, review volume, recency, and sentiment together.

Looking for a homestay specifically? See our best homestay overall list, ranked on its own page. The order here reflects each property's composite score, so a smaller pool villa can rank above a bigger chalet if its guest sentiment and consistency are stronger.

Picks are ranked by score and relevance to vacation home / holiday rental, so a lower overall score can rank higher here.

10. D'LaMar Homestay

4.1 (14 reviews)score 62/100

D'LaMar Homestay

D'LaMar Homestay is a small, quiet rural house where guests single out the host's warmth, including an unprompted breakfast, and clean, comfortable rooms.

  • Friendly, attentive host
  • Clean and tidy rooms
  • Peaceful rural setting away from town
  • Thoughtful touches like surprise breakfast

Watch out: Water pressure can be slow, and the location sits some distance from the main road and airport.

11. Chikolatte pool Cottage Homestay

4.2 (37 reviews)score 56/100

Chikolatte pool Cottage Homestay

Chikolatte offers a spacious terrace house with a private pool and full kitchen that draws repeat family visitors, but sentiment is mixed across its 37 reviews, with recurring complaints about water smell, a warm fridge, and strict house rules.

  • Large terrace house layout for groups
  • Full kitchen and barbecue facilities

12. Hotel O Ferringhi Stay Iinn

3.6 (148 reviews)score 50/100

Hotel O Ferringhi Stay Iinn

Hotel O Ferringhi Stay Iinn draws a large volume of reviews (148) but the sentiment is clearly negative, with recurring reports of rooms not matching photos, broken air conditioning, and inconsistent cleanliness. Its main appeal is proximity to shops and cafes for the most budget-conscious travellers.

  • Low-cost, basic amenities
  • Strategic location near Eden Parade shopping

Watch out: Multiple recent guests report unclean rooms, faulty air conditioning, unresponsive staff, and unrefunded deposits.
