Soak up the view during your stay.
Welcome to our little sanctuary of tranquility.
Staying in the Bamboo House, you will be not too near and not too far from everything.
Located at the seaside of Santa Fe, in the middle of a lush & quiet tropical garden; The Bamboo House is 50 steps from an empty white sand beach offering breathtaking sunsets, 8 minutes from Cloud 9 and away from the crowds.
This gateway is the perfect place to let the energies flow, dedicate yourself to contemplation and revel in the moment.

The space
All little details put together are aiming to make your stay unique.
Using all the incredible properties of Bamboo, this Eco house has been crafted to make your senses feel all the surrounding elements.
Each face of the house has opening pannels to make the air flow and let you feel the wind as a natural fan. The tiny pool, directly connected to our spring, is here to refresh you along the day and keep your energy balanced. Our indoor and outdoor gardens, made with passion, are here to keep you connected with nature, bringing in birds, butterflies and enticing smells from our selected flowers.
This house was designed as an Eco House. The tiny pool is chemical / soap free. We installed air conditioning for travelers not used to tropical breeze, it helps cooling down the room but you can't expect a fully refrigerated one due to the materials that are not fully isolating and the height of the ceiling. Please be aware of that point before booking. However with natural airflow and our fans, there is enough means to let it off for the whole stay, even in the hottest season. We will leave it up to you, just try it and you will likely be seduced by simplicity :)
We had some leftovers of bamboo while buiding, so we're offering a pair of Bamboo Toothbrush to each of our visitors.
We also offer WiFi (the signal is satisfying but we still are in a remote island..), hot water for the shower, fresh local grounded coffee and drinking water.

Guest access
Travelers will have full and exclusive access to the whole property, with a direct pathway to the beach and a gate connecting to our sister Bamboo House. The gate lockable on both ways, therefore you can only go through if the guests of the other villa also allows it. The pool, outdoor kitchen & bathrooms are all private.
It is recommended for our guests to have a motorbike or scooter to reach the house, since it is a little far from the mainroad. Please be aware that there will be a few hundred meters of dirt road, that may be a bit muddy after heavy rain (usually from December to February). Please make sure that you are comfortable to drive aside of paved road and all will go well.
From the airport, there are always vans that can drop you in front of the house, for 400 php / pax.
If you need scooter rentals, please let us know in advance so we can arrange it :)

Other things to note
If the house is not available at your requested dates, I have other listing with different price range in whom I have put as much passion building. Don't hesitate to have a look in my profile to discover them !
The house is a one bedroom house. We availed the option of having an extra double mattresse if you want to share the experience with extra friends, however the house has been designed to accomodate couples and the living space might be a little narrow at 3 or 4.
There is also the option to book the neighboring Bamboo Moon if you come with your barkada !
There are a few (but very good !) restaurants in Santa Fe, the rest is in General Luna Area. Santa Fe is known for its unique empty beaches, its uncrowded surf spots (& sometimes Kitesurf) and the kindness of its people. Our local friends are excellent surf instructors, and will be available for you if you're craving for surf lessons, at the beach right in front of the property.
The house gets bright early in the morning. If you are not a sunrise lover or early bird, a sleeping mask is advised.
Being in the middle of wildlife, you may encounter jungle sounds at night, and experience the visit of some friendly bugs and insects or the neighbors friendly dogs who wander through from time to time as you may find everywhere else in the island.

My Airbnb journey started traveling on a 9 months road trip through the USA working as a toy seller & only staying in Airbnbs. It teached me a lot about hospitality, lifestyle & sharing. I now want to give back as much memories that I have received from all the hosts that I have met along the way. I have a passion for nice things and aim to transmit it while desigining my listings. Easy going guy, enjoying life from a little surfing paradise
