Chauhan Stay, Devka: Villa in Daman With a Private Pool
Chauhan Stay is a 4BHK villa in Devka, Daman. Rates, capacity, amenities and the house rules worth reading before you book.
We list around 6 properties in Daman. Chauhan Stay in Devka is one of them — a 4BHK villa — and it is worth a closer look because the capacity and the rate structure are not what most people expect.
What you actually get
The listing itemises it, which is a good sign in itself — owners write this out when guests actually ask. BHK Villa. Living room with sofa and TV. Private swimming pool. beds with4 attached washrooms. Room by room, the detail goes further than most listings: General lists Parking, Private Swimming Pool, Restaurant, Sound System. Everything above is on the page before you pay, which is the part that makes a property like this decidable rather than a gamble.
At a glance
| Property | Chauhan Stay (BMF-V372) |
| Where | Devka, Daman |
| Type | Villa · 4 BHK |
| Guests — overnight | 18 |
| Guests — day | 18 |
| Weekday rate | ₹17,600 |
| Weekend rate | ₹22,000 |

What it costs
- Weekday: ₹17,600
- Weekend: ₹22,000
- Per additional person: ₹800
The weekend uplift is around 25%, which is about normal. Moving to a Thursday or Friday is still the easiest saving available.
The per-person charge is the line most people miss. At a group of twenty-five it frequently exceeds the slot rate itself, so work out your total for your actual headcount before comparing this against anything else.
Reading the capacity
Chauhan Stay lists 18 by day and 18 overnight — figures that are close together, which usually means a property built as a stay rather than as a function venue. With 4 bedrooms across 18 guests, most of a full group has a bed rather than a mattress, which is the practical advantage of a property shaped this way. The trade-off is that the limit is a hard number. A venue property will absorb ten extra people for a daytime function; this one will not, and several properties state that only the headcount confirmed at booking may be on site. So confirm the final number before you book rather than after, and check the per-person charge for anyone above the included figure.
The rules worth reading
Permitted: non-vegetarian food, alcohol, pets, outside food, use of the kitchen, smoking, bachelor groups.
These vary property by property, and two places on the same road frequently take opposite positions. The ones that most often change a decision are alcohol, whether outside food is allowed, and whether you may use the kitchen — the last two being separate permissions rather than one.
From the owner's own house rules: I'd card required.
Who it suits
A group of up to 18 staying over. With the two capacity figures close together, this is a stay property rather than a function venue, and it works best booked as one. Where it is the wrong booking: a large daytime function. The capacity is a hard limit rather than a generous one, and a venue-shaped property will take twice the people for a similar rate.
What you can check before you pay
The thing that removes most of the anxiety from a booking like this is being able to see the detail up front. Every listing carries the slot rates split by weekday and weekend, the per-person charge above the included headcount, the security deposit, the platform fee, the day-time and night-time guest limits, the room-by-room amenity list and the owner's own house rules. None of it is behind an enquiry form.
That matters because the questions that actually decide a booking — can we bring food, can we cook, is alcohol allowed, are pets permitted, what time does the music have to stop — are answered on the page rather than after a phone call.

The area
Where South Gujarat goes when it wants a short beach weekend — villas near Devka, and the only place around with its own rules on alcohol. Devka is reached via the Moti Daman bridge, and the last stretch is worth checking with the property directly if you are driving something low or arriving after dark. That is a question owners answer honestly, because a guest stuck on a bad road is their problem too. If the group wants something beyond the property, the usual additions from here are Jampore beach, Devka beach, the Moti Daman fort. On timing: best November to February; Diwali and New Year are the two hardest dates to book.

Work the total out for your actual headcount before comparing these. Above roughly twenty guests the per-person charge reorders the list more often than not.
Before you book
Five things to confirm in writing, in the same thread as the booking: — What is chargeable on top of the slot rate — the sound system, extra cleaning, utensils, a caretaker's time? Each property answers this differently. — What is the last stretch of road like after rain? Owners answer this honestly because a stranded guest is their problem too. — Is outside food allowed, and separately, can we use the kitchen? Two different permissions, and plenty of properties grant one and not the other. — Can we get in early to set up? This runs into the preparation time between bookings, which on many properties is around two hours. — What usually goes wrong at bookings here? The single most useful question available to you, and almost nobody asks it. Get the answers in the booking thread rather than on a call. The person who replies in September may not be the person handing you the keys in November.
Why an OTA search does not surface this
If you have tried finding a place like this on Airbnb or a hotel aggregator, the gap is structural rather than a matter of taste. Those platforms sell nights. This category is largely sold in slots — a half day, a full day, or an overnight — and the day slot is what most family gatherings and birthdays actually need.
The second difference is capacity. A farmhouse routinely takes fifty, eighty or a hundred people for a daytime function while sleeping fifteen. An OTA listing shows one guest number, so the property either looks far too small for your function or does not appear at all.
When to book it
For this market the season runs as follows: best November to February; Diwali and New Year are the two hardest dates to book. For an ordinary weekend, three to four weeks is comfortable. For anything attached to a festival or a long weekend, six to eight. The next date likely to affect availability here is Christmas on Friday 25 December 2026, so if your plans fall near it, book ahead of the rush rather than into it. And if the dates can move at all, take a weekday. In this category that is worth between a quarter and half the rate, which is more than switching to a cheaper property usually achieves.
Booking it on the app
If you are looking for short-term rental vacation homes in Daman — farmhouses, villas, resorts or weekend homes — the BookMyFarm app and website carry the same inventory and the same detail. Search by city or by area, filter on the amenities that actually matter to you, read the owner's house rules, message the owner, and book the slot you want.
For anyone who has tried and failed to find this kind of property on a nightly-rate site, it is the closest thing to a purpose-built Airbnb alternative for the Indian farmhouse and villa market — because it is built around how these places are actually rented: by the slot, by the whole property, with two separate guest limits.
