Vacation rentals with a kayak in Occidental Mindoro

place was quiet and peaceful, away from the busy white beach and crowd. The house was very spacious and well kept. would highly recommend the place for a relaxing and peaceful getaway

Big house with a big, well equipped kitchen/living room that is nice to hang out with your friends or family. The balcony is also great, with a nice partial view of the sea and green surroundings. It has permanent water and electricity. It has a washing machine, which is a plus. This place was very good value for the money, and Sir Jean Yves is a nice folk who is always willing to help and make you feel comfortable at his place.

We booked this place at short notice. We were a large party and Jefril was very accommodating from the moment we made contact. From the moment we arrived the staff were welcoming and responsive to our requests. The bar was a great addition and the menu offered good food at very reasonable prices if cooking was not on your agenda. Boats were on hand to take you across water, plus a jet ski, diving and kayaking (needed maintenance) all available - again at reasonable prices - if you wanted to be more adventurous. The house overall was good although the photos were a little dated, but as long as you weren’t planning on spending most of your time in the house, it shouldn’t really bother you.

The driftwood cottage was a great stay, it was very clean and comfortable and fit the desciption very well. The crew is what makes this place exceptional, they arranged everything for us from motorbike rentals to a ride on their cousin’s boat to get us to Abra de Ilog. I don’t know how else we would have gotten there! Food and cocktails in the tiki bar next door are great and they stand ready morning, afternoon and evening to serve you. The location is very quiet and away from anything exciting to do, but for us this was a plus. Diving or eating out is 10-30 minutes away by motorbike or tricycle. 5 stars and I advise you stay here when you want to stay in or around Puerto Galera.

We recently enjoyed a delightful getaway trip with friends, and it was an experience to remember! The ambiance of our accommodation was truly enchanting, starting with the refreshing coolness of the air-conditioned room that provided a perfect retreat from the heat. The veranda was a serene haven, allowing us to unwind and soak in the tranquil surroundings, surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle sounds of nature. We were particularly impressed with the dining area, which was beautifully set up for meals together. The kitchen was well-equipped and inviting, making it a joy to cook and share meals as a group. Each moment spent there was filled with laughter and good food, creating unforgettable memories. We are already looking forward to booking this lovely place again in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Maria and her husband were very gracious hosts. They greeted us and met us and gave us a tour around when we arrived. Cozy and warm place. Reminds me of my home in the province. Pool is not too big but great for night swimming with temperate water. The Beach is a very short walk away and great for small children because it’s not deep at all even at high tide. There were algae though, maybe just the season. White sand but have pebbles. The beach has some trash probably from the ocean. There is a land bridge which is great for picture taking and going to the deeper part. Probably the only thing we didn’t like is the tap water is salty, which is not uncommon for coastal towns. The place provides privacy for medium and large groups. Amenities are complete with pugon if you are into baking dishes and artisanal pizza. Menu of authentic tasting Italian cuisine also available but pricey probably because it is prepared fresh and ingredients have to be bought in the city. Overall 5/5 stars

I quickly felt right at home. The staff were helpful and the Manager was close at hand to sort out any needs. My room, a studio, had everything I needed including a functional kitchenl that I used everyvday. My view from the balcony was across the strailt to Luzon. l went to sleep every night to the sound of the waves breaking on the beach below my balcony.

The best stay ever! Kuya Arnel is extremely kind and accommodating, especially when it comes to the place and check-in/check-out flexibility. The caretakers are also very good and helpful - kudos to them! Hopefully, we can come back again."

We love the place! It was a memorable trip for our family, got to experience just hanging out by the balcony enjoying the sea breeze and the sound of the waves. We love lounging at the pool, even saw a rainbow and there's that eagle that comes out every morning and afternoon. Property is just on the beach, bring aqua shoes it's a bit rocky but not the sharp kind. From the comfy beds, to the big bathroom, to the well-equipped kitchen, they provide all you need for a good vacation. You can cook your own food, they even have a grill area, or you can order food from their resto/tiki bar. We ordered all our meals from their resto and it was so worth it. Gotta try the Driftwood Pizza. I'm missing their mango shake and pork sisig already. Kudos to Owen and team. Felt like we're on a 5-star hotel with their service. They even helped us get a tuktuk for exploring the area. Thank you for taking care of us.
