Dreamville Beach - Home and the Kids

The house of "healing"

After a long period affected by the pandemic, in early 2022, Le Tung and his wife (from Hanoi) decided to "leave the city for the sea," seeking the best natural "healing" living space for their whole family. Quite by chance, during one of their travels, they discovered an ancient fishing village in Lo 3 Hoa Hiep Trung (Phu Tho 3), Dong Hoa, Phu Yen.

Lấy cảm hứng từ những ngôi làng cổ trong giấc mơ bình yên, Dreamville Beach là cách vị chủ nhân hiện thức hoá niềm ao ước — Inspired by idyllic, dreamlike villages, Dreamville Beach is the owner's way of realizing their dream of "leaving the city for the beach."

The area is tranquil, the living space is simple and rustic, following the traditional village style, the weather is quite mild with few storms, and the budget suits the family's economic capabilities, so the couple decided to buy and renovate an old house in the Dreamers style.

Thus, a homestay with a seaside village setting, suitable for families with young children, was created to experience and live in a traditional fishing village environment, alongside the children of the village, playing and having fun by the sea.

The old house of the Le Tung couple is located on a tourist route in Phu Yen province, 7 km from Tuy Hoa airport and about 15 km from the city center. Dreamville Beach can't claim to be a "street-front house" or the most convenient resort, but that's precisely what makes it so appealing. Dreamville is right by the beach, near the village, near the market, and not too far from Phu Yen's tourist attractions.

Dreamville Beach was built brick by brick, stone by stone, by Le Tung and his wife, creating their own happy haven. A place with a village, the sea, family, and a heart "healed" after a long period of tossing and turning against the waves of urban life and the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic.

How has the old coastal village been "modernized"? What makes Dreamville Beach's style unique compared to other accommodations?

Mentioning Le Tung - the founder of Dreamers - is about building a chain of homestays in many destinations. Each Dreamers location has a design style that is friendly to the local architecture and culture, and harmonizes with the landscape.

The old house was "modernized" by the Le Tung family with the desire to create a unique beauty compared to other accommodations, while preserving the old-fashioned, rustic charm characteristic of the old houses in the coastal fishing villages of Phu Yen.

Xuất phát là một ngôi nhà của làng cổ ven biển, Dreamville được sáng tạo ra nét riêng biệt nhưng vẫn giữ được nét xưa cũ, mộc mạc của lối sống nơi đây — Originally a house in an ancient coastal village, Dreamville has been creatively designed to be unique while still preserving the old-world charm and rustic lifestyle of the area.

Dreamville is a renovated house based on an old Phu Yen house. At first glance, it resembles houses in Northern Vietnam and the coastal areas of South Central Vietnam, but it has a special "protruding room" located right at the entrance for gatherings, receiving guests, and doing daily family chores. Furthermore, it reflects the hospitality and generous spirit of the people of the coastal region.

This room also serves as a communal living space for the family, a place to welcome strangers who can come in to ask for water and rest, or a place where mothers and sisters can mend nets while waiting for their husbands to return from sea... Therefore, Le Tung and his wife decided to maintain the original state, transform the function of the house, and add details that reflect their personal touch.

Dreamville Beach được — Dreamville Beach is crafted from traditional Vietnamese materials and recycled products, reflecting the environmentally friendly and simple lifestyle of the local residents.

The house is 780 square meters.², of which the construction occupies approximately 300m².²The house is spacious and divided into four bedrooms with rather unusual names: the sea room, the fish room, the sand room, and the boat room. Notably, this garden villa model features a freshwater swimming pool with extremely relaxing seating right in front of the sun-drenched porch and the distinctive wooden fish gate of Dreamers.

Furthermore, the common living area, with its interconnected swimming pool, dining room, kitchen, and bar, is entirely newly constructed. The interior furnishings were repurposed by Le Tung from old boat planks from a nearby shipyard. The house also features a painting made from recycled beach waste, prominently displayed in one of the most striking corners.

"This painting is displayed in the house as a reminder to myself, my family members, and visitors not to litter in the sea," Le Tung recounted.

Although his house is near the sea, Le Tung still designed a small swimming pool, renovating the former shrimp pond of the previous owner. This is where his children and young guests come to swim and enjoy the cool water while gazing out at the fishing boats near the shore as the lights come on.

The most unique feature of the house is the terracotta and antique tiles. Terracotta is used to make the washbasin, clothes rack, and trash can. The 100-year-old antique tiles have been "transformed" into a luxurious bathtub.

In addition, the well of the people in the coastal region is always placed in the center of the courtyard, in front of the central room of the house. This is where the men of the family frequently use for bathing.

The old fish sauce storage room was also "transformed" into a large, doorless kitchen and living room, ensuring both ventilation and coolness while retaining a spacious feel, much like the "outdoor room" that has now been renovated into the master bedroom.

The entire renovation was completed in 100 days at a cost of 900 million VND. From the moment they entered the new space, Le Tung and his wife and children felt more relaxed and enjoyed the fresh air of the Phu Yen coastal area.

Dreamville Beach and the message it wants to convey.

The house is considered a gift from Le Tung and his wife to their children, so that the children can live with nature, feel the breath of the countryside, and learn about things that they only see on screen or in books when living in the bustling capital.

When asked by Travellive what message he wanted to convey through Dreamville Beach homestay, Le Tung shared: “There are three things I want to convey through Dreamville. First, where there is family, there is always home. Second, traditional values are always wonderful materials that create a unique character and identity for each person, each painting, each project. And finally, 'golden forests and silver seas.' Vietnam's marine resources are very precious. The way Dreamville is decorated, based on recycled and reused materials (old wooden furniture, old tiles, recycled waste paintings), is a way to remind people to love and work together more for the marine environment.”

Dreamville Beach was created to offer a unique beauty while preserving the old-world charm of the century-old house. With Le Tung, children will be able to listen to the roar of the waves or the lapping against the boat's hull; these sounds will resonate and linger in their hearts.
