Vacation rentals with a kayak in Botolan

We had a wonderful family stay at La Residencia Nanale! From booking to payment, check-in to check-out — everything was seamless and stress-free. A big thank you to Ms. Patricia for a smooth and spotless transaction, and to Manang Liza for her warm assistance and for making us feel right at home. The welcome drinks and food were a thoughtful touch — just what we needed after a long, hot drive. La Residencia Nanale truly is a hidden gem and a one-stop shop for comfort, hospitality, and convenience. I highly recommend it and would definitely love to come back again!

Great place to stay. Host was very responsive prior our stay and caretaker was very accomodating and helpful. Highly recommended!

We stayed at this accommodation for three days and two nights, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Nestled just steps away from the beach in a serene and quiet community, the setting offered a peaceful and private retreat that felt like a hidden gem. The house itself boasts a stunning view of the river and majestic mountains at the back, while the front opens up to an uninterrupted panorama of the sea. The home is thoughtfully equipped with all the dining and cooking wares you could need, making it incredibly convenient. All you need to bring are your ingredients, condiments to get cooking. This place is perfect for anyone seeking a serene escape close to nature without sacrificing comfort or convenience. However, do be cautious of the sea—the waves can get strong and might pull you away from the shore. It's something to keep in mind while enjoying the beauty of the ocean.

As a large family, we stayed at Melisa's place for a week. Our thoughts: Pros: -- Great beach-side location. It was very easy to get to the ocean. -- Good layout. We liked the kubo setup of the property. -- Helpful staff. The caretakers were friendly and cooked delicious food for us. -- Mostly peaceful. We had the property to ourselves, which was very nice. Cons: -- Bathroom. There's only 1 toilet, which isn't ideal for large groups. Also, although the indoor shower and toilet have a wall between them, the wall doesn't quite extend to the ceiling. So it's a bit awkward if somebody's using the toilet while somebody else is using the shower. -- A bit of noise. The neighbors were mostly very quiet all week, which was nice. But on our last night, the property next door hosted a wedding ceremony, and the music blasted all afternoon until about 10pm. We don't blame Melisa for this, but there's a small noise risk. Overall: Very good, we would go back anytime.

it was such a fascinating stay, we really enjoyed the house and all the amenities. feels like home. Also thank you so much to Kuya Al and Gandara for such an accomodating vibes, they even let and help us pick mangoes in their tree. the beach is also walkable and very clean, lots of foods nearby. Overall we enjoyed it so much.

My family and I enjoyed our stay in Balay Angkan. The staff are nice and approachable. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and colleagues. Hoping to come back soon once their pool is ready.
