Blue Sea Homestay: Your Coastal Getaway in Phu Yen, Vietnam

Introduction

Phu Yen, a quiet stretch of sun-drenched coastline on Vietnam’s south-central coast, has long flown under the radar compared to the crowded beaches of Nha Trang or Da Nang. For travelers craving unhurried coastal charm, authentic local life, and affordable comfort, Blue Sea Homestay delivers everything you need for a memorable escape. Tucked in the laid-back neighborhood of Hòa Hiệp Trung, this family-run property balances warm hospitality with modern convenience, making it ideal for solo backpackers, couples, and families alike.

Hotel Overview

Blue Sea Homestay is located at Thửa số 26, Tờ bản đồ số 8, Phú Thọ 1, Khu phố Phú Thọ 1, Thị trấn Hòa Hiệp Trung, thị xã Đông Hòa, tỉnh Phú Yên, putting you just a short motorbike ride from Phu Yen’s most iconic white-sand beaches. The homestay’s welcoming multilingual staff speak both Vietnamese and English, so international travelers will never face communication barriers during their stay.

Free, private on-site parking is available without reservation, perfect for guests renting motorbikes or cars to explore the region. Complimentary WiFi works across all public areas, and the shared simple kitchen lets you prepare light meals or store fresh local seafood picked up from nearby markets. Unlike many properties in Vietnam, Blue Sea Homestay allows pets to stay for no extra fee, so you don’t have to leave your four-legged travel companion behind. Outdoor spaces include a lush garden with shaded outdoor furniture, where you can sip morning coffee or watch sunsets over distant hills. All rooms come with air conditioning, and spacious family rooms are available for groups traveling together, while 24/7 exterior security cameras provide added peace of mind during your stay.

Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within a 30-minute drive of the homestay. First, Ganh Da Dia, just 25 minutes north, is a one-of-a-kind seascape made up of thousands of interlocking black basalt columns that slope into the turquoise South China Sea. The unusual rock formation formed millions of years ago by a volcanic eruption, and it’s one of the most photographed spots in Phu Yen, ideal for sunset walks and coastal hikes.

Second, Bai Xep Beach, 15 minutes from the homestay, is a quiet crescent of powdery white sand and clear shallow water, far less crowded than the more developed beaches further north. You can spend the day swimming, eating fresh grilled seafood at waterfront stalls, or just lounging under a palm tree with a book.

Third, the Vung Ro Bay, 20 minutes away, is a sheltered emerald bay surrounded by green rolling hills, dotted with small fishing villages. Take a local boat tour to explore hidden coves, snorkel among colorful coral, and visit a traditional fishing cooperative to see how local fishermen catch squid and crab at night.

Travel Tips

Rent a motorbike in nearby Dong Hoa town for around 120,000 VND ($5 USD) per day to get around easily—Phu Yen’s best scenery is best explored on two wheels. Visit between February and August, when the skies are clear and seas are calm for swimming and boating. Stop at the local morning market in Hòa Hiệp Trung to pick up fresh tropical fruit and baguettes for a picnic on the beach. If you’re traveling during the wet season (September to January), bring waterproof clothing and check local weather forecasts before heading out on day trips. Don’t forget to try the local specialty, Phu Yen raw fish salad, at a family-run restaurant within walking distance of the homestay for an authentic taste
