Holiday rentals with a kayak in Negros

The property has a peaceful charm with a relaxing atmosphere, a private pool, karaoke, and beautiful surroundings—ideal if you’re looking to completely unplug and stay put. However, our experience was mixed due to several factors that future guests should be aware of. The biggest challenge was the location. The house is remote and not listed in the city’s tourism directory, making it hard for local transport providers to locate. Accessibility is heavily impacted by the tides—depending on the time of day, getting in and out requires a flat boat (at an extra fee), which felt like a charge that should have been included in the price. While island hopping was available, it came at an additional cost, and leaving the property for any activities required extra planning and expense. If you’re not planning to explore and are content staying at the property, this might not be an issue—but it’s something to keep in mind.

This home was absolutely stunning! The decor was perfect and the views were spectacular. We had so much fun creating memories together. The staff was very responsive whenever we needed anything. The property feels very private and it was about 45 minutes away from the whale shark experience in Oslob and just over an hour from the canyoneering experience.

We knew very quickly upon arrival we would want to book a another month, which we did. The place is clean and safe. Priorities for us. The best part though is the on-site staff who really care for the space and for us. We felt at home right away. If something needs tending to they respond immediately and kindly. I work remotely and I've been able to keep things rolling despite being half way around the world from my office. Highly highly recommend staying here if you want a safe, clean and friendly experience.

We had a great stay at Joachim's place. The place was incredibly beautiful, and the location was absolutely stunning. In the evenings we sat outside and looked at the starry sky and listened to the sea, and during the day it was nice to swim in the pool or snorkel in the sea. We also tried diving for the first time. I also have to say that we got a lot of good food here. We were very well received by the host and the staff and we were just sad to have to leave. We can really recommend the place!

Best beach front accommodation. The beach is literally a few steps from the gate. It is also close to the turtle and sardine run (5 min drive). The house is perfect and has all the things you need. Rooms are quite big as well. We enjoyed grilling our food using their griller and they have all things you need. Ate Lisa the caretaker is a gem. The hosts are very responsive to my queries and very helpful. Overall a 10/10.

The place is simple yet amazing! If you need to unwind, or need a quiet but beautiful location… then this is the place for you. Plus, the caretakers are very friendly. They have assisted us so well. A night of stay in Patricia’s place is not enough.

The best Airbnb we ever rented. They exceeded our expectations. Clean, tidy and homey. We had a hard time locating the place tho but it was worth it! Will surely recommend it to friends and family coming over to Bacolod.

Excellent place. A little difficult to find the first day for someone not local. Great pool. Quite would defiantly stay again next time. Driveway was a bit steep for some cars but most will be fine.

Maria, Lisa, Vincent and Lisa's daughter (?) run a lovely place which was exactly what I needed: peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle yet with thoughtfully arranged space and activity opportunities. The hut has an unbeatable view, very comfy bed and good WiFi (although I did not use it for work). Everyone is very accomodating and nice, they really go the extra mile to make sure your stay is memorable and enjoyable. On top of that, there are vegetarian options in the restaurant which I appreciated since it's not a given in many places around the island. Reasonably priced motorbike rental on-site too, which I can recommend (not a fan of having to leave the passport as deposit though but I felt I could trust the people there, so that was ok). Should I ever be around Cebu again, I won't think twice about coming back. Thank you!

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!!

This was our second time staying here. We love the location and the host is always helpful with all of our concerns. We've even made friends with some of the locals down the beach.
