Vacation rentals with a kayak in Mabini

Anilao is one of the few places in the country where we keep returning because of its natural wonders, and Marian's Place is an excellent choice for a quiet and relaxing weekend getaway. All rooms and living areas have fantastic views of Balayan Bay. While the rooms don't offer air conditioning, this did not stop us from having a very good night's sleep. The night breeze, especially in March, was just right for us to relax at night. The staff is also amazing. Ate Cecilia was accommodating with the cooking, and Nelson was a valuable activity guide for snorkeling, watersports, and island exploration. He also helped us explore the surrounding coral reefs along the beach. We were even lucky to see sharks (small, friendly ones) in a nearby resort! Next time, we hope to see the sea turtles. Our family of six had a fantastic weekend! Thank you for having us.

The best stay ever! Kuya Arnel is extremely kind and accommodating, especially when it comes to the place and check-in/check-out flexibility. The caretakers are also very good and helpful - kudos to them! Hopefully, we can come back again."

The place was worth the price! It was peaceful and the staff was accommodating. Since it was our first time in Batangas we had a lot of questions on how to get around and they gave very helpful instructions. We had issues with the internet while we were there, it wasn't down, but we kept getting disconnected which was a bit inconvenient since we work remotely, nonetheless, we're definitely looking forward to staying here again!

We booked this place at short notice. We were a large party and Jefril was very accommodating from the moment we made contact. From the moment we arrived the staff were welcoming and responsive to our requests. The bar was a great addition and the menu offered good food at very reasonable prices if cooking was not on your agenda. Boats were on hand to take you across water, plus a jet ski, diving and kayaking (needed maintenance) all available - again at reasonable prices - if you wanted to be more adventurous. The house overall was good although the photos were a little dated, but as long as you weren’t planning on spending most of your time in the house, it shouldn’t really bother you.

Definitely worth it! The place felt like home, it is quiet and relaxing. We were able to get a good rest. Thank you so much Sir Elmer, we’ll comeback for sure. 😊

Lago Verde is nothing short of AMAZING. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer. The photos do not do justice to the beauty of the place. Joey ensured that no expense is spared to make Lago Verde beautiful, pristine, and serene. Joey's staff, Ate Santa and colleagues will make sure that you are comfortable and safe during your stay. Thank you so kindly Joey and Lago Verde staff!

We chose this property because of the wonderful reviews and its proximity to the snorkeling and diving spots. We were taking our kids, (7 & 4) for their first snorkeling experience and we wanted the closest to the islands famous for beautiful marine life. And for that alone it was worth it. The WOW experience ⭐️ communication and recommendations from Orion was great ⭐️ the property had wonderful staff who were attentive, respectful & helpful ⭐️ they helped us organize the bangka folks who transported us in snorkeling sites. ⭐️ the morning and evening views were amazing ⭐️ I left my very important laptop charger and they immediately informed me and found a way to get it back to me! Thank you! We will definitely be back

Maria and her husband were very gracious hosts. They greeted us and met us and gave us a tour around when we arrived. Cozy and warm place. Reminds me of my home in the province. Pool is not too big but great for night swimming with temperate water. The Beach is a very short walk away and great for small children because it’s not deep at all even at high tide. There were algae though, maybe just the season. White sand but have pebbles. The beach has some trash probably from the ocean. There is a land bridge which is great for picture taking and going to the deeper part. Probably the only thing we didn’t like is the tap water is salty, which is not uncommon for coastal towns. The place provides privacy for medium and large groups. Amenities are complete with pugon if you are into baking dishes and artisanal pizza. Menu of authentic tasting Italian cuisine also available but pricey probably because it is prepared fresh and ingredients have to be bought in the city. Overall 5/5 stars

The place was easy to find and is the same as what is listed - not your high end airbnb type but made us feel at home and going back to simplicity of life. Maurine, the caretaker is a gem. She waited for us even we checked in very late, and attended us. Each morning, we have hot water available for coffee, unlimited ice already available in the fridge, kayak free of use and kitchen is complete too. Loved the duyans in this place, very relaxing. Can reco this place👌🏼
