Karon is a beach area on the Andaman side of Phuket, known for its long sandy beach and a relaxed mix of restaurants and shops along the beach road. It is quieter than Patong, the island's best-known resort town, so it suits anyone who wants the sea close at hand without the busiest nightlife streets. Street-food stalls and massage shops line the beach road. The condo is on Patak Soi 24, a side street in Karon.

Karon Beach is 400 m away, and Karon View Point, a lookout over the beach, is close by. Big Buddha Phuket, a large statue on a hilltop, is 3.5 km away, and Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the island's most revered Buddhist temples, is 4.6 km away. Phuket International Airport is 28.7 km away, and the island is linked to the mainland by bridge, so the journey from the airport is by road. The Karon Night Market is also close by.

A simple day could start with a swim at Karon Beach, then a visit to Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha, before dinner at the Karon Night Market. The full kitchen in the condo makes it easy to cook in some evenings, and Karon View Point is a good stop for a look over the beach before the day ends.
