Vacation rentals in Mantanani Islands

Thank you Nathasia for a beautiful stay! Cute little cabin with outdoor shower, right on the beach which is private and perfect with comfy beds on the beach too with great views of islands! Good communication and pick up, even helped us with a taxi and the short boat ride to get to the cabins! Great home cooked food, even catered to our vegan diet. Thank you!

I had a wonderful stay here! The room was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by untouched nature and crystal-clear waters. It’s a very private and peaceful area, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The host was also very nice, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. I’ll definitely be coming back! A few things to note for future guests: there’s no cellular signal in the area, so it’s best to plan ahead. Having your own transport is highly recommended to reach nearby restaurants or Kudat town. Also, be sure to bring insect repellent—there are quite a few bugs at night and some sandflies at the beach. Despite that, the experience was amazing and well worth it!

Have a pleasant stay at Ekoos’s place! Will definitely stay here again if I visit Kudat again in the future!

everything is very okay, clean, tidy and the best. happy to find food. just please put a mirror in addition to the floor 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 will repeat again

Wellin put in lot of effort & love in caring her little space. She is very warm & hospitality. Wellin's place is a good choice in KM giving very limited options here. Recommended.

Ekoos was a great host, responded quickly to messages, was really kind and very helpful. Kotak Kotak is mix of lovely accomodations in the most wonderful and calming area possible. The ocean is close, you can see and hear it from the house, and there's beautiful plants all around. And what might be even better (at least for animal lovers): There are a few very sweet cats and dogs living outside at the area, too. We were also really pleased with the housekeeper, who was always INCREDIBLY friendly and helpful. Thank you so much! :)))

A very nice place for family get away..need to stay 2 day at least to enjoy..sadly we come when high tide rise

We had an amazing time here! Before Arrival Our relaxing vacation started when we booked our bungalow at Sea Dragon Adventures - AB sent us a detailed “Almost everything you need to know” packet - an informative packet with everything you need to know about the stay there (over 1500 words on getting to the Airbnb from Kota Kinabalu airport, to items to bring, and things to). In addition, AB’s clear and quick responses to our questions were very helpful while we planned our KK trip. We arrived at the Airbnb with no worries about our stay. During Our Stay It is very difficult to explain the experience we had at the Sea Dragon Adventures because quite literally, words do no justice in conveying how much we enjoyed our 4D3N. But I will try. Location - everyday was a photoshoot day First off, the location is perfect. It is 5-10 min boat ride off a coast(only way to get there) therefore the Airbnb gives off a secluded private beach vibe (which is true - there are currently only two SDA bungalows on the location). EVERY PART OF THE AIRBNB IS PICTURESQUE- the bungalow, beach with clear water, Santai Café, hammock at the beach - we especially loved seeing the exceptional sunsets that showed different colors every day. On our first day, when there was little cloud, we could clearly see the sun setting. On our second day, sky was filled with cloud during sunset hours and the entire sky turned pink reflecting all the sun lights. On our third day, we could see the sun beaming orange lasers through the clouds. I have seen many beautiful sunsets but these have been one of my favorites. Activities - so little time With Sea Dragon Adventures being on a remote island, we initially thought 3 nights there would be enough to enjoy but we couldn’t have been more wrong. Like people have mentioned in their reviews, there is so many things to do as there are beach and jungle. You can spend a day doing a short hike up the jungle located at the back of the bungalow, SUP-ing to the Snake Island (about 1km one way), getting tanned at the beach, chilling/reading at the hammock by the beach, hanging out with the dogs and cats that are very playful. As most areas being off the grid (there are some areas where you can get signal but we recommend putting away your phone during your stay) we thought time would pass by slowly but on the last day of our stay, we regretted not doing more days there (hint, hint). Stay/Hospitability - home away from home Every meal was home cooked and delicious. The meals included local Malaysian and Western dishes ranging from French toast to a big seafood BBQ. We devoured them. But what makes this Airbnb remarkable are the hosts Martini and AB - the warmest hospitality and the wealth of knowledge they have! As mentioned above, we were fully prepared for our stay at Sea Dragon Adventures thanks to the very very detailed packet even though it was our first Airbnb experience. Once we were on location, Martini was there to help us with everything. She was very helpful in planning our spontaneous trip giving us tips and arranging our rides to the Kawa Kawa river cruise. Also, when we had a minor problem with shower (which can happen in any location) it was immediately fixed, which shows how attentive she is to guests’ needs. We enjoyed hearing Martini and AB’s stories as they themselves have been and are travelers. So in a nutshell, Sea Dragon Adventures is an extraordinary Airbnb, hosted by Martini and AB, travelers themselves who know what guests look for in an exceptional vacation. I would 100% recommend to friends and family and to people who are looking for a relaxing, active and private place looking to spend some serene time. I can see the place being suitable for couples, friends, and families. Thank you Martini and AB for an amazing time! We hope to return soon :)
