This category covers whole-unit stays across Kedah: beach houses in Langkawi, kampung-style homestays near Alor Setar, and standalone holiday villas that sleep a family or group without sharing space with a live-in host. It sits apart from room-only homestays because you typically get the entire property, a private kitchen, and your own gate or parking, which matters if you're traveling with extended family, celebrating a school holiday, or hosting a small event. We currently track 180 such listings across the state.
Not every listing that calls itself a "vacation home" delivers the same thing, so check a few basics before you commit:
We weigh review consistency, response speed from the host, accuracy of photos and amenity claims, and how the property holds up across repeat stays rather than a single good week. That's what drives the ranking in our best vacation rentals in Kedah guide, which is the fastest way to shortlist a property instead of scrolling all 180. For the full detail on how we calculate scores, see our methodology page.

D'LaMar is a quiet rural house where guests find clean rooms, a welcoming host, and thoughtful touches like spontaneous breakfast. The remoteness and water pressure issues are minor trade-offs for those seeking calm away from town.
A spacious terrace house with a private pool and full kitchen draws repeat visitors for family gatherings, though parking is tight and reviewers frequently report water smells, a warm fridge, and stale food left behind by previous guests. Upkeep varies: the pool and BBQ area impress, but toilet odours and strict house rules temper the experience for some.
