Property information

Truly unique setting not to be forgotten, one of the best properties Camotes has to offer. There are only three units available in a private setting. The stand alone Beach house (2 bedroom) offers a great family atmosphere with a wraparound porch overlooking both a sea view and beach view. The Treehouse is a stand alone very unique elevated round villa with a very romantic atmosphere for that anniversary, honeymoon or anytime special getaway and the Bayview deluxe queen with panoramic window views of the bay. These villas are sitting on an amazing private waterfront property. The grounds sit alongside a private white sand beach used only by local fishermen and children and is just steps away. Camotes Cay Hideaway is off the beaten path yet walking distance to restaurants and the well know Santiago White Beach. We offer a true Philipine vibe surrounded by nature. Cristina and I truly enjoy hosting and doing our very best to make your getaway special. We offer the following to make you stay easy and enjoyable at additional local charges. *Scooters rentals delivered and picked up. * Island tour vans * Fantastic snorkeling and diving with a house reef out front * massage/ manicure/ pedicure on premise Secure parking on the premises and port pick up /drop off. If you are in need of being picked up at the ferry port, we can accommodate for a 350 peso rate. Other options if you don't have your own vehicle would be a tricycle (sidecar motorcycle) 350 pesos. Single passengers can Habil Habil (Scooter back ride) 100 pesos. We also offer a breakfast to your liking at a reasonable 175 pesos and both villas include their own fully equipped kitchens for your own cooking convenience.

Neighbourhood information
