The staff was very friendly and the room was nice and clean. Really worth your money. Quiet place to take some rest. It is better to come with a 2-wheeler, to reach easily Mahabalipuram if this is your goal. I liked it a lot.

I loved everything. First of all, the staff is super nice and helped with everything i asked. Second, the place was clean, had hot water, and ac. Third, it was in a great area, a quite street, but walking distance from everything and the main street where all the local and tourist food is. For me, this was the best guest house i stayed in india so far.

"Overall, a great stay with excellent service and location.. + I recently stayed at white house beach stay for a weekend and overall, it was a great experience. The hotel’s location is perfect – just a short walk to the beach and local shops. The lobby is beautifully decorated. The check-in process was smooth, and the front desk staff were friendly and accommodating. My room was spacious, with a large comfortable bed, modern amenities, and a stunning view of the ocean. However, the bathroom could have been clean & neat.. Overall, I’d highly recommend White house beach stay for its excellent service, beautiful facilities, and fantastic location. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit.

Mahizh Home is a two storey villa with two bedrooms and a shared living area on each of the floors. The ground floor was all ours for the 24 hours we stayed over. The place is airy and comfortable, with marble floors suited to the environment. But what made our short stay special is the 5 stars service delivered by Mani, the caretaker of the property. This is a cream of a person who has been really helpful in all aspects of our stay (providing accurate advance information (easy to join on WhatsApp), sending a taxi in the wee hours of the morning at the Railway station to pick us up, ordering food (dinner and breakfast and delivering it), allowing for early check-in and late check-out. Not very often in almost 50 years of travels, we have met such a kind and dedicated person. Whenever you travel to Mahabilipuram consider Mahizh Home first. Note that this villa would be ideal for friends / family groups of up to four couples.

    Great host who speaks English and arranged a well priced tour to the amazing archaeological sites for us. The room was clean and everything worked. The location is well away from the noisy streets and only steps from the beach. Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance, including local ones on the main road. Good value for money
