Coast Homestay Travel Guide: Phu Yen’s Hidden Seaside Gem

Introduction

Tucked away in the laid-back coastal city of Tuy Hòa, Phú Yên, Coast Homestay delivers the kind of authentic, low-key Vietnamese beach escape that draws travelers tired of overcrowded resort hubs. Blending homey comfort with direct access to Phú Yên’s signature unspoiled shorelines, this family-run stay turns a quick beach stop into a memorable, immersive retreat. Whether you’re a solo backpacker, a traveling couple, or a family bringing kids (and pets) along, Coast Homestay fits every travel style perfectly.

Hotel Overview

Coast Homestay is located at 27/236 Bà Triệu, right on the waterfront in central Tuy Hòa, putting steps from the beach and a short walk from local markets and street food stalls. The entire ground-floor property is fully wheelchair-accessible, making it welcoming for travelers with mobility needs. Expect all the essentials for a comfortable stay: complimentary free WiFi in all common areas, free on-site street parking, and air conditioning in every room. In-room amenities include soft bed linens, a wardrobe, bedside charging outlets, and a clothes rack, while en-suite bathrooms come stocked with toilet paper, towels, slippers, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. For travelers who prefer to self-cater, the shared full kitchen includes a stovetop, electric kettle, refrigerator, washing machine, dining table, and cleaning supplies, plus shared living and dining spaces to relax and meet other guests. Outdoor space includes a private waterfront terrace perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks, and pets are allowed by prior request for a small extra fee. The friendly hosts speak both Vietnamese and English, so navigating your stay is seamless for international visitors.

Local Attractions

No stay at Coast Homestay is complete without visiting Phú Yên’s most iconic natural spots, all within a 30-minute drive:

• Ganh Da Dia: Just 25 kilometers north of Tuy Hòa, this otherworldly basalt rock formation features thousands of interlocking hexagonal columns stretching out into the South China Sea. It’s one of Vietnam’s most photographed coastal landscapes, especially at sunrise when golden light hits the rocky shore.
• Xuan Dai Bay: A quiet, crescent-shaped beach 15 kilometers from the homestay, Xuan Dai boasts soft white sand, crystal-clear shallow water, and fresh seafood shacks serving grilled squid and steamed crab right off the boats. It’s far less crowded than popular tourist beaches further south, ideal for a lazy day of swimming and sunbathing.
• Vung Ro Bay: A sheltered deep-water bay famous for its emerald water and lush surrounding hills, Vung Ro is perfect for kayaking, hiking to hidden coves, or visiting the local fishing village to learn about traditional boat building. It’s 28 kilometers from the homestay and makes for a perfect half-day or full-day trip.

Travel Tips

If you’re bringing a pet, be sure to notify the host at least 48 hours in advance to confirm availability and any extra fees. Rent a motorbike in Tuy Hòa to easily reach all area attractions — most rental shops deliver directly to the homestay for a small fee. Phú Yên’s dry season, from December to April, brings calm seas and sunny days perfect for beach activities, while the wet season from May to November offers lower rates and lush, green landscapes. Don’t leave without trying bánh canh hẹ (Phú Yên’s signature chive thick noodle soup) from the street stalls just a 5-minute walk from the homestay, where you’ll get an authentic meal for less than $1 USD.
