Vacation rentals with a kayak in Mindanao

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.

Karen est une hôte formidable, elle a été proactive et a rendu l’entrée des lieux facile. Elle répond hyper rapidement aux messages. Toutes ses recommandations valaient vraiment la peine. Le lieu est magnifique, très privé avec des vues splendides et des couchers de soleil incroyables! Proche des activités comme la visite des cascades ou la baignade dans des lagons magnifiques! Wilson vraiment aimable a su répondre à nos demandes. Je reviendrai sans aucun doute!

My family and I had a great stay at this airbnb for a whole month. Totally worth it!! The surrounding places were very convenient as there were many department stores where we could quickly access any of our essentials, as well as the friendly people surrounding the area which gave us the impression of the area being safe. Troy was very responsive with any of our concerns regarding the place and had quick solutions for any of them. Troy was also very accomodating and kind towards his guests which made our stay well spent knowing his friendly character. Troy lives nearby and occassionally checks up on airbnb. No regrets!! Thank you Troy.

My family recently had the pleasure of staying at the French Villa Santander, and it was a lovely experience. From the moment we booked, arrived and checked-out, the host and the caretakers ensured our comfort and satisfaction. The luxurious accommodation made our stay truly relaxing and feeling home away from home. My family want to stay in this villa again. More so, the villa’s location is just a few minutes drive to Oslob Whale Shark Watching location. We highly recommend this place.

Wir fanden ein kleines Paradies vor uns. Unser Aufenthalt war 6 Wochen und wir haben die Unterkunft jeden Tag genossen. Da wir in der Zeit Selbstversorger waren, ist die Küche sehr gut ausgestattet, auch die Einrichtung verfügt über eine hohe Qualität. Nimpha unser Juwel war sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend, wir werden sie vermissen. Auch Mike war immer telefonisch erreichbar. Eine kleine Kritik müssen wir doch noch am Rande hinzufügen, das WIFI in der Lounge war eindeutig zu schwach oder gar nicht, da wir unsere Zeit ausschließlich nur draußen verbracht haben. Auf jeden Fall ist diese Unterkunft ein Muss.

Our stay was lovely. With your own private gate to a coral reef at the bottom of the garden and a stunning view to match, you could not be in better surroundings. Chin Chin and Litho, our caretakers, took care of any requests we had when we asked them. There are a few local eateries within a few minutes' walk from the property and you can get a bus into Dumaguete right outside the house - it takes about 45 minutes. The only things to note are the numerous cockerals that crow at all hours and the fact that the water pressure in the shower is quite low. Apart from this, if you love being off the beaten track and you want a slice of local culture, then this is the place for you!

This Airbnb was amazing. It was right on the water with incredible surroundings. We rented a car which made this location pretty central for everything we wanted to do the south point of the island. The caretaker of the house was extremely responsive, full of excellent recommendations and overall incredibly helpful and kind. Our trip would not have been what it was without her. What a gem!!! This beach is excellent for shell combing and when the tide is low, it is full of aquatic life waiting to be discovered right in the backyard! I can’t believe we were able to stay at a place like this and had the experience we had!

Die Unterkunft ist ein absoluter Traum! Die Lage direkt am Meer, die offene Küche, die Zimmer und der Pool haben uns total geflashed. In der Umgebung gibt es ein paar süße Restaurants und wenig andere Touristen. Eine absolute Empfehlung für jeden, der ein tolles Strandhaus mit viel Ruhe möchte.

the place was very unique and homey. it was lovely waking up to the sound of the waves and catching the sunrise. our favorite is having our breakfast at the balcony overlooking the beautiful ocean and small islets. we also love the pizza and mango rum served at the restaurant. the location is very ideal, near to most restaurants, pubs and local shops. it is at the center of the tourist area but the place is quiet and isolated. we can't wait to be back again.
