Come over and experience this authentic accommodation surrounded by nature at one of the best islands in the world.
The space
Our beach front property is our private vacation paradise in the tropics. Our native jungle villa is perfect for a family of 5. It is constructed with real hardwood and is furnished with natural, custom made materials with an open floor plan, decorated with a unique, handmade things to make it a special, relaxing place for our guests. It is situated on a hillside, surrounded by lush tropical trees that's been around for years. Our villa overlooks the ocean with some beautiful sunsets. It is large enough to accommodate a small family or a small group while still plenty of room for everyone.
It has two bedrooms available. A queen four poster bed in the first bedroom, a double bed with a twin/single roll away/pull out bed in the other bedroom, complete with comfortable mattress and soft linens. Two bathrooms with flushing toilets and warm showers using solar heater. The living room and the dining room are both located in the front of the house where the view of the ocean and sunsets are seen.
The whole front has sliding door panels which can be kept open (unless it’s raining hard) for a good breeze especially at night. Our kitchen has a fridge, which our guests can use to store their drinks and snacks if they have. It is constructed to modern standards with a tropical and rustic design.
Our property is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and tall trees, where birds and other wildlife live. Enjoy our private white powdery beach just a few steps down along with a small open cabana, a swing bed and a picnic table. No other tourists but you. You will see Mount Capuas from the living room, the first bedroom, the large deck in front and the smaller deck in the back.
Snorkeling, beach hopping, camp fire grilling at the beach are some of the fun activities you can do here. Swim at the beach to your hearts content where sparkling, clean water is so inviting, it is hard to resist. Our place is so exotic yet so peaceful, a nature lovers favorite, a home away from home.
Guest access
We only accept ONE BOOKING AT A TIME, so you can fully enjoy your vacation without other tourists/ guests around during your stay. If you wonder why there is only a few reviews in this listing, it is because we have another little cottage we rent out to couples which is mostly booked during the entire year we are open.
We are truly “The Lost Traveler” and will be hard to find our place if you choose to rent a car to drive to our place. We have very few specific trusted drivers who know our location, and the last 1&1/2 hours travel is over undeveloped, unmarked roads without easily identifiable landmarks which at times due to weather conditions become nearly impassable. If we have to send out our caretaker to rescue you on your self drive, there will be an extra charge which includes last minute hiring of extra help while our caretaker is away and motorcycle maintenance (1500 pesos service fee).
Our property is located on 2+ hectares with a 60 meter beach line. No other residents in the entire cove. You can access both nearby fishing villages by walking or by riding a boat. If you like to hike, go further up the hill and enjoy the mountain and ocean views.
The villages beyond are accessible by motorcycle and along the way have some breathtaking ocean view.

From the host
*The cove where our property is located is between two fishing villages, both can be accessed by foot or by boat. People are friendly and it is safe. Our property is located on 2+ hectares with a 60 meter beach front. Beyond our property to the south end of the undeveloped cove, there is an additional couple hundred meters of beach line with no other residents or structures. On the north end there is only one local neighbor.
* San Vicente is a tourist spot noted for its Long Beach, 2 hour drive south from our property, about 3 hours by boat (but would require larger boat rental from SV to come out and pick you up-gets pricey).
* Port Barton is another tourist spot about 3 hours drive south from here.
* Roxas is 2 & 1/2 hours south and Taytay and its old Spanish Fort is under 2 hours north. These two towns offer similar basic grocery shopping.
* El Nido is about a 3-1/2 hr drive, longer travel time during the way season due to the weather and road condition. It’s where most tourists go when they visit Palawan. It’s a beautiful place but is fast becoming overcrowded with tourists. Best advice is rent a boat there in the morning for guided island hopping all day.
