Holiday rentals with a kayak in Philippines

We had a wonderful family stay at La Residencia Nanale! From booking to payment, check-in to check-out — everything was seamless and stress-free. A big thank you to Ms. Patricia for a smooth and spotless transaction, and to Manang Liza for her warm assistance and for making us feel right at home. The welcome drinks and food were a thoughtful touch — just what we needed after a long, hot drive. La Residencia Nanale truly is a hidden gem and a one-stop shop for comfort, hospitality, and convenience. I highly recommend it and would definitely love to come back again!

This Airbnb was exactly as described—no surprises, just a fantastic stay! The place was spotless and well-maintained, with complete appliances that made everything super convenient. Water pressure was excellent, and the air conditioning was ice cold in all the rooms, which was perfect for the weather. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. It truly felt like a home away from home and was worth every penny. There are also plenty of things to do in the area, making it ideal for families and groups of friends. Honestly, the only downside was that one day just wasn’t enough to enjoy everything this place has to offer. Highly recommend!

Place is very private, perfect for those wanting peaceful but fun weekend getaway. Only 2hrs from Manila via SLEX/Star Tollway. Speedboat already waiting for us upon arrival. There’s so much do to — water activities, karaoke, netflix or just chill all day by the pool with the best view of Taal Lake. House is clean, well maintained and almost complete. Caretakers live next door so it’s very convenient if you need anything. We enjoyed our stay and looking forward to our next visit!

Host was super accommodating and helpful. The caretaker Ryan assisted us a lot in making our trip convenient. Had enough beds and room for a big family of 6 adults and 1 child. It was very clean and pleasant. Super near to the sardine run and turtle watching, we were also introduced to a local tour guide by the host and caretaker for the activities. We were also able to stick around in the property while waiting for transpo. It was a great and comfortable experience!

Looooved the bnb 😍 went there last holy weekend and there were only a few guests- everything’s quiet, secluded, and felt exclusively just for you. Sunset is beautiful. Joey/ host is also super nice and kind, very responsive when it comes to our concerns. Staff were so nice! And very welcoming, made sure everything’s convenient for us even though the location’s isolated- gave us cooking oil, changed our bidet SUPER FAST! Shout out to Kuya Nino!!! Such an excellent experience for us from the get go- the beautiful boat ride on the way to the island, the cool natural spring water of their pool would make sure you beat the heat, everything’s just super nice! Thanks Joey and rest of the team! Hello also to Ayesha- the beautiful baby girl!

Great place! The exclusivity of the place gave my family our much needed vacay break. Awesome amenities as well!

Melissa's place exceeded all of our expectations. Worth every penny. The best and most beautiful airbnb I've ever been to. Will definitely recommend this place.👌🏻

We enjoyed our stay so much. That’s an absolutely incredibly Place you love quite private Beaches. The oOwner is such a lovely person, always helpful and friendly. The island is such a Gem, close to Port Barton, but not crowded . lovely local people living in a small village close. About 15 min by Food away. There’s a small store as well. I highly recommend staying here at least 4 Days. I definetly come back

Good place to relax and unwind away from the city. Although CR is not so good. I think their water pipe is very dirty already since the water coming out of the faucet is a little bit brownish. Bed room is okay, there is a noticeable smell on the linen. Overall, place is okay. Very peaceful.

Our family had a great time at Tirta Shores. Easy check in and check out. Ate Lolit was friendly and just one call away. The amenities were endorsed properly. In daytime, we loved using the kayak and paddle boards available at the resort. Even the kids had fun since life vests were provided. The view during sunset is stunning. The only downside thing is that the aircon unit of the Master's Bedroom of the Pool Villa is quite weak, the kids were somwehat sweaty even at night. Overall, it was fun and such a cozy place to stay with love ones. :)

We really enjoyed our stay overall. The only small issues were the occasional power outages and the lack of blinds on the big windows, which made it a bit hard to sleep in or nap during the day.

We came here for our honeymoon and some tranquility after the wedding craze and many hours of travel from London. The place was paradise with beautiful white sands and crystal clear sea, fresh coconut juice and yummy home cooked meals. We felt like we were staying with family as everyone was so welcoming and warm. It was always quiet and private. Watching the stars at night while going for a swim was a treat. Going on the kayak during sunset and watching the sun go down behind the coconut trees on the island was absolutely breathtaking. Island hopping tours and snorkelling was available once we felt more energised and they were phenomenal. We loved taking naps in the afternoon and waking up just to get back into the sea! We enjoyed being surrounded by the animals, the cheeky goats, the pigs (especially Bacon!! Haha he’s funny!) the dogs, all playing together. We were really sad to leave and will definitely be back when we can. Thank you again to Rochelle, Vanessa and everybody!

Our Stay at Frontispieace was really nice. The caretakers were very polite and accomodating. The place itself was clean and had everything already. I surely would recommend this place

This was one of the best stays I have had on Airbnb so far. Maria and Joseph are really great hosts; from the moment we arrived, they made us feel incredibly welcome and were always available to help with anything we needed. They even organized multiple day trips for us where we went hiking, drove to snorkeling spots with a boat, and also a boat trip to another island. The place is quiet and beautiful, and you have your own private access to the beach directly in front of the property. We were also able to borrow kayaks and explore the waters. The beach is great for snorkeling if you go further into the water; there are beautiful fish and marine life to see. The location is ideal for anyone looking to unwind, with plenty of opportunities for adventure right on your doorstep.

our 2nd stay. See you again definitely.

wow, just wow, what a lovely place to stay. the house although small is extremely. comfortable and the surrounds a delight to stay in. the caretaker was up to anything we asked of him and was extremey helpful in locating local suppliers of just about anything we wanted. on the downside. the owners have installed cctv cameras and are ever watchful, however they fail to tell you this when you book in or in their house notes. listening to conversations, acting on those conversations put a real feeling of being overwatched on our trip. especially after the wife felt exposed exiting the bedroom to the balcony without a top on on the first night. We understand security is a top priority, however there is a line and we feel they crossed it, as every where else we have stayed has been upfront about location and limitations of their cameras. other than that the local kids, villagers and everyone else we came in contact with were fantastic. we will revisit if they will have us. well done.

The place is highly recommendable and the view is awesome. The food, the host and even the staff are amazing. We’ll definitely be back.

It was worth the travel. The place was peaceful as expected. It’s one of the best place to stay if you need time away from stress of the city. The caretakers are very helpful. Since there was no restaurant around the area, luckily Ate Liezel was kind enough to prepare all the meals we need during our stay. They can arrange a private boar ride for you, just get ready to pay extra.

The place was great and the host and the caretaker was so responsive. Thank you po

We had an amazing time at Comoriver Retreat! The place is peaceful, surrounded by nature, and the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Karren was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. We especially loved the outdoor space by the river—it was so calming. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quiet and beautiful getaway in Laguna! We will definitely come back here! Thanks again, Karren!

We had a great stay with my family and cousins at Casa Maria. It was peaceful and private. Kristine also was very responsive Casa Maria itself was beautiful; although it might be a bit rusty with the doors, that’s normal since it’s very close to the beach. The sunset during our stay was stunning. Although the beach had a lot of seaweed at that time, the locals said it was due to high tide. However, this didn’t hinder our enjoyment, as the sunset was truly beautiful—kind of pinkish and almost unreal. We cleaned up the seaweed since we had kids who loved to swim, and everything went well; they enjoyed the water, and we didn’t encounter any problems.

Had a great time. The worked was very helpful and gave us everything we needed. The host checked all the boxes on how to treat guest. I can’t wait to come back!!

A truly memorable stay! The host was incredibly kind, accommodating, and approachable—always ready to help. The place was exactly as advertised, peaceful, clean, and beautifully designed inside and out. Surrounded by nature, it offered the perfect escape to relax and recharge. The amenities were complete, the bed super comfy, and everything was spotless. We loved the thoughtful local tips and easy check-in. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely return!

I had such a great stay at Thomas’s place! The photos really don’t do it justice it looks so much better in real life. The space is beautifully put together, super clean, and has a really good energy. You can tell Thomas puts care into every detail. Communication was smooth, check-in was easy, and I felt right at home. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a spot that exceeds expectations!
