Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Samal Island

Janice’s place was clean, well equipped and as described. We had some difficulty finding the house as we arrived at night time and there wasnt any visible street name / sign available but Janice was very responsive to all our questions.

It's a new and clean dormitel not a house. although outside downtown area, but convenient if you plan to go out of the city. Communication was a breeze and Ms. Evelyn was easy to talk to. Good for big family. Highly recommended.

Very homie vibe love the sound systems great for friends or family hang out.

Noemi is so friendly and proactive. She made sure our stay was comfortable and relaxing. The place was super big and awesome, too!

From booking to checkout, Geraline and Dennis were incredibly responsive, polite, and friendly. The property was secure, and we felt right at home throughout our stay. It was a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Since the property is located away from the main city center, it can occasionally take some time for Grab or other taxi services to arrive. However, this was a minor inconvenience. A special thanks to Geraline's brother for kindly taking us to the terminal during checkout — we truly appreciated the help. We highly recommend Geraline's place, especially for families with kids seeking a peaceful and relaxing stay.

If you’re looking for a private pool on Samal island, this is the perfect place! Clean and spacious, it can nicely fit 10 people and matched greatly the Airbnb description. Federico was also very responsive and great host. Nearest restaurant is probably 800 meters away and closes at 8pm so best to bring your own food if you don’t have your own transportation on the island. Overall it was a relaxing stay!

We had such a great time at Mansud Shores Beach Resort! The whole place was exclusive to us, which made the experience super relaxing and fun. It felt like our own little private escape. The view of the beach was beautiful, and while you do have to go down quite a few steps (around a hundred!) to get to the shore, it’s totally worth it—especially for snorkeling. The pool was also a nice spot to chill, and since it was just us at the resort, we were able to do our own thing comfortably. We had some group games and activities, and the privacy made it feel extra special. Shoutout to the caretakers too—they were very kind and always ready to help if we needed anything. Overall, if you're looking for a peaceful, private place to unwind and have fun with your group, this is definitely a great pick!

I had an awsome stay with 15 guests. The place was awsome for our needs. Katherine was always responsive and Roy was a star and came within minutes when needed. It is a little out the way but perfect if your looking for a getaway. There is a little sari sari store just 2 minutes walk for essentials. The place was clean and tidy and very comfortable for all our guests. The pool table and pool and kareokee are was a big hit. Highly recommend the place and will be back next year.

The place is spacious, located in a safe neighborhood, and the host was very accommodating to our requests. Highly recommended!

It was a short stay, but we enjoyed every minute! Would love to come back as soon as we can, highly recommended

super relaxing place to stay, possible to book again by the month of August ☺️ to relax and chill. if meron kayo pets, good recco. ito , nag enjoy din sa AC yung baby Percy namin 🐈‍⬛😂 buong araw tulog niya. Thank you so much for being responsive hosts sir Ruben and Miss Harlene.

So accommodating. Made it easy to check-in and check-out. Had basic necessities. Good host.

My family arrived late and they’re so amazed how beautiful and clean the place is. Too bad they had to leave early. The host’s is very nice and so quick to response!!!! Highly recommended since its very close to the airport.

We loved our stay at Laydz’s place! She was very friendly and accommodating from the start. The unit is beautifully designed with a Nordic-minimalist feel: clean, cozy, and thoughtfully equipped. It had everything we needed: complete utensils, condiments, toiletries, and even a ready-to-use medicine kit. Perfect for a hassle-free and comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

Had a great stay! The unit was clean and aesthetically designed. Check-in and communication was smooth. It was a bit expensive compared to other units I've stayed in Arezzo, but it was all worth it.

secure, peaceful, clean, accessable from downtown area, pet friendly, affordable rate. very nice accomadating host. thank you

Responsive host. Easy to communicate. KTV in unit was a huge hit!

This is the 2nd time Ive stayed here and now its better than better. They added some mirror, table, and toaster now. They also have diffuser now and the place smelled so good the whole time. I think they also changed AC which is great. I appreciate that they give you fresh fruits as always. They also added some protection against insects. The lights are also brighter compared last time. The place is really great, less than 5 mins to the main gate of subd, watsons is just around the corner. So many places to eat, public market, convenience store, all just 5-10 mins walk. Although the mall is 20-25 mins ride but i dont mind it. I would always go back here every time im in davao. I really love the place, cozy and homey. The owner is also so kind and so is the staff.

Everytime we go vacation, we couldnt think of other place to stay but just janice’s house!everything u need is all in the house and it is really clean and cozy.we love the whole stay and the host was very responsive and helpful, they reply instantly and even late at night they can reply to u and cater to ur needs. Perfect home for families! Safe neighbourhood and easy access to the highway. The value for money is really good for this place. Highly reccommended!

It was our second time staying there in just a matter of three months but it always felt the same - Very homey and peaceful. The expansive lawn gave the kids a lot of space to play. It is also near the port and the market so it was easy for us to buy stuff we need. Fish vendors can drop by and we can buy freshly caught fish. The owner is also very thoughtful. We will definitely book again!

the view is stunning, the place is private and one with nature. Host and Care taker is friendly, easy to communicate with. Highly recommendded to people looking for relaxing area for vacation.

Very nice place, spacious for our whole family. Everything was clean and had everything we required! Most kind hosts and responded quick! Great place overall

Amazing place & loved the place. We had a wonderful time. The chef, Rose is a good cook as well Gigi are both responsive to our needs. Jimmy and Loloy were both helping carrying our stuff. We love the aromatic coconut water. The internet was gone, we had it for a day only, that’s the inconvience we encountered. The water is pristine, clear crystal water. We see the giant clams below. You can see a lot of fishes, private beach. It’s highly recommended. If given a chance, to stay longer .

We had a pleasant holiday in Joan's house. The apartment is very nice, the kitchenette equipped with pots and appliances. The larger bedroom is very spacious, bright and quiet. The view from the balcony is very beautiful, you can see the sea which is not very far away and beautiful tropical vegetation. The swimming pool is not very large but is perfect for spending pleasant and refreshing moments. Joan, our host, is very nice and above all very helpful and attentive to the needs of her guests. We will definitely return to Samal to Joan's house.
