    Mechelle and her family are super nice and friendly, they helped us with transportation to Siquijor port and to rent a motorbike (that is a must given the remote location). In front of the property there is a beach full of marine life perfect for...

    Michelle and her sister were awesome hosts. They really cared about me and were helpful in any way. The room is very spacious and has a roof top terrace with a splendid view on the ocean. The place uses solar energy for everything so there was no...

    I’m not sure I have enough words to describe how much we loved this place and this family ❤️ This place is a little slice of heaven outside the busyness of San Juan, filled with a beautiful garden, views, animals, private villa style room, and most...

    Secluded location, a little difficult to find at first but well worth the find. Set back from the main road, you get your own private little villa-type room, with sun terrace and access to the shared pool. I can’t speak highly enough of the family...

    This place is an absolute gem on the island of Siquijor. The detached room is spacious and private and just steps away from a little rocky beach. Totally solar-powered, which we loved, and truly idyllic. You can sit on the roof and watch the...

    I love this place. The family were super lovely and welcoming. You have your own private bungalow with a huge rooftop with an amazing view of the sea. It's very quiet so I could work. The garden is beautiful and there's about 6 or 7 fluffy rabbits...

    The place is just as shown in the photos. It is really nice that you can go down to the beach (rocky) from the homestay. It is a really quiet place and the familiy is really welcoming. They even invited me to dinner and the party of one of the...

    The room is spacious, with many storages. The bed is huge and very comfortable, perfect for couples (also good for 2 people and a kid). The cleanliness is on the highest level in whole house particularly in the bathroom. The whole family is very...

Our Place: Our home faces the ocean with sunset and sunrise views. We are totally off grid with our own solar power for all of our energy needs. With a swimming pool, direct access to the beach and ocean snorkeling; you are assured of a space where you can connect with nature and have a private retreat. Our 30 square meter guest quarters provide an oversized king bed, an extra single bed, sofa/bed, air conditioning, flat screen tv, desk, and private roof deck with views of the ocean, sunrise, sunset, and the stars. You have direct access to the rock beach. Please note that the path to the beach is rocky and a bit challenging. Since we live on the edge of the sea, you are welcome to walk out of your room and go snorkeling, visit caves along the beach,and observe foraging sea turtles, coral, and other sea life. This is our family home, and we welcome you to visit the place we have set up to share this beautiful island with others.
Your Host: This is a family run enterprise to share the beauty of the place where we live. In addition to myself, my husband and sister, we have two young children. There are a bevy of rabbits wandering the compound, a couple of cats and a golden retriever. Like many Filipinos we love to sing (karaoke), dance (zumba), and eat good food. We are happy to provide a space where you can have a private retreat, or to introduce you to local activities and events. For us, this is a way to meet people from all over the world and share the beauty of our island.
Our Neighborhood: We live on the outskirts of Tag-ibo, a small village (barangay) five kilometers from the municipality of San Juan on Siquijor Island. Our home is in a quiet area of the countryside, so simply relaxing and soaking up the sun or stars and listening to the crickets and waves can be a regular past time. We can also introduce you to our local filipino neighbors and a taste of rural filipino life. On the highway within a half kilometer walking distance are local filipino stores and eateries. The municipality of San Juan offers a wide range of restaurants, bars, accommodations and clubs. Along the highway six kilometers in the other direction is the famous Siquijor Balette tree. And one of the beautiful waterfalls on the island (Lugnason Falls) is a couple of kilometers up the hill from us. You reach our home by walking or riding a motorbike down a path for 150 meters from the highway to our gated compound. There is private parking at our compound for motorbikes, but cars must be parked on the highway,
