Hotel Overview

Hộ ông Phan Bãi Sau Vũng Tàu is located at 72 Võ Thị Sáu, Thang Tam (Sa Đang Đàm), putting it just steps from the golden sands of Back Beach. This fully detached guesthouse is entirely on the ground floor, making it accessible for travelers with mobility needs and perfect for families with young children who don’t want to navigate stairs. Accommodations include spacious family rooms with connecting door options, fitted with air conditioning, in-room fans, mosquito nets, and ample closet space including a dedicated changing room. Most units feature a simple full kitchen outfitted with a fridge, microwave, electric kettle, stovetop, cookware, and a washing machine, ideal for longer stays or preparing home-cooked meals with fresh local seafood. All units come with private entrances, outdoor terraces or seating areas, and either private or shared bathrooms stocked with towels, toilet paper, a hairdryer, and slippers. On-site facilities include a beachfront bar and snack bar, free public parking with EV charging stations, bicycle rental for exploring the area, and a shared public bath for a relaxing post-beach soak. Note that the guesthouse does not offer on-site Wi-Fi, so plan to use your mobile data for connectivity. Only Vietnamese is spoken by staff, so a translation app is useful for international guests.

Local Attractions

First, Back Beach (Bãi Sau) itself is the star attraction, just a two-minute walk from the guesthouse. This 8-kilometer stretch of soft golden sand has gentle waves perfect for swimming, casual beach volleyball, and sunset strolls, with dozens of local seafood shacks lining the shore serving fresh grilled squid and cold beer. Second, Vung Tau Lighthouse, perched on Núi Lớn mountain 4 kilometers from the guesthouse, is the city’s most iconic landmark. Dating back to the French colonial era, the lighthouse offers panoramic sweeping views of the South China Sea and the entire Vung Tau coastline, especially stunning at sunrise. Third, Jesus Christ’s Statue, another Vung Tau icon on Núi Nhỏ mountain, sits 3 kilometers from the guesthouse. This 32-meter tall statue standing over the sea has an observation deck inside the shoulders that offers one of the best panoramic views in the province.

Travel Tips

If you’re driving from Ho Chi Minh City, the guesthouse offers free reserved parking, so book your spot early when you confirm your reservation. The on-site kitchen makes it easy to stop at the nearby Thang Tam Fresh Seafood Market, 1 kilometer away, to buy catch-of-the-day seafood at local prices to cook at your leisure. Bicycle rental is available on-site, which is the best way to explore Vung Tau’s flat coastal roads and avoid busy tourist parking near top attractions. Since no Wi-Fi is available, download offline maps and any entertainment before you arrive, but embrace the digital detox that comes with this lack of connectivity — it’s part of the guesthouse’s relaxed, slow-paced charm.
