This is a clean western style 3 bedroom home with a minute walk to the beach. The house and gardens are well maintained by the friendly and helpful onsite family staff. The house is situated on an island off the mainland and is a very tranquil location. There is a market near by, which you can visit and buy fresh local produce, especially fresh fish.. Our family of 3 stayed at this house for a total of 4weeks and had a Philippines experience we will never forget. We were also fortunate to hire a local Philippine lady who we hired to be our full-time cook while we stayed, which enchant our experience and was the ultimate luxury. We highly recommend this house for any family that wishes to have an experience like no other.

Das Haus und der Außenbereich entsprach voll unseren Erwartungen und der Beschreibung. Die Natur rund um das Anwesen war wunderschön. Zum Baden mussten wir nur etwa 30 Meter laufen. Das Wasser war sehr klar und sauber. Wir hatten den Strand die ganzen 4 Wochen für uns alleine. Da das Haus weit Außerhalb steht war es auch sehr ruhig und bestens geeignet zum entspannen. Die auf dem Grundstück lebende Hausmeister-Familie war immer sehr freundlich , hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Zum Einkaufen kann man nach Agta gehen, dort ist das Sortiment aber sehr beschränkt. Um alles zu bekommen muss man zurück zum Hafen, dort ist das Einkaufen in kleinen Läden und auf dem Markt möglich. Die Anreise vom Flughafen Frankfurt bis zur Haustüre in Polillio dauerte ca. 37 Stunden. Der Transfer von Manila nach Polillo lief einwandfrei mit den vom Vermieter empfohlenen Fahrern. Ganz besonders hilfreich und sehr nett war der Fahrer auf Polillio, der uns auch als Guide zur Verfügung stand. Die Einheimischen waren sehr aufgeschlossen und gastfreundlich. Alles in allem war es ein wunderschöner, ruhiger Urlaub und wir würden gerne einmal wiederkommen.

Vielen Dank für die wunderschöne Zeit, die wir über Weihnachten 2015 im Agta Beach Haus verbringen konnten! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und haben den schön angelegten Garten und die Hilfsbereitschaft von Tatay William und die Kochkünste von Nanay Josie genießen dürfen!

Great house with lovely people, we really enjoyed our (too short) time!

The picture is nothing compared to the real experience we had in JM's place. His house is near the beach, you can also swim in front of their house. Though it is too far from the town proper, the view is just breath taking. Ate Rose, the caretaker cooks very delicious viand, we ate foods that we dont know exist - like the expensive fish in town the Dugso, the shell that we dont know what it is called, a special recipe of lechon like food, and other desserts. The house is very relaxing, my favorite place is the hammock. Any place in the house you can find peace. At night also you can stroll in the shore to catch the night sky. It is a place worth of your vacation.

We went to Polillo to explore an island which is still untouched by mass tourism. Jean Marie responded very quickly to our requests and even picked us up at Polillo Port. The house is a 35 min tricycle ride away, which will cost around 400 pesos for three persons. The place was better than expected, very nice tropical garden, a veranda surrounding the whole house. The beach is just across the road and is perfect for swimming during high tide. Make sure to bring enough food and drinks or buy them at the market in Polillo town, because it gets difficult to buy anything at the nearby fishermen's village of Agta. The house helper Rose will provide you with freshly cooked delicious meals for some extra money. I would highly recommend this place for all lovers of nature, peace and relaxation but not for those searching for entertainment or nightlife, as there are no bars or restaurants or any other beach resorts nearby.

Jean-Marie's place is for travelers who are after the laid back part of the island. It's very near the Bato Beach but quite far from the other well-visited places in Polillo. The house is very lovely and super spacious. We really enjoyed staying at the beautiful veranda where you can see and hear the beach by day and watch the stars by night.

We really loved staying at Jean-Marie's Cottage Kubo! We were warmly welcomed by his lovely parents-in-law who made sure we had everything we needed. We also really loved the warm and friendly folks who were on the property who helped make our stay truly amazing! They were very helpful and quite thoughtful. Jean-Marie was very responsive and got back to us when we had questions really quickly, which was great. This Kubo is really wonderful, very clean, and was just a delight to stay at! We truly enjoyed hanging out there and had really great sleeps. The setting is quite amazing, as well, with an incredible garden and surroundings. Oh, and the beach! This is our first time on Polillo Island and we just absolutely LOVED the place! The calm and quiet, the warm and friendly people, the deliciously fresh food. We also had unbelievable weather with tons of sunshine. And we were the only people on that stunning beach! Yes!!! We are regretful only that we were there just for three days but definitely want to come back for a longer period and bring some family and friends to also enjoy the place. We highly recommend Jean-Marie's Kubo to the Airbnb community for a truly WONDERFUL retreat!

Jean-Marie arranged a van for us to pick us up in Manila and would give us a ride to the port in Real. Unfortunately, 5 hours before the pickup time, the driver told us that there wasn't enough space for the two of us so we went by bus. Raymond Transportation busses brought us to the port in 4 hours, but it was a bit stressful for us because we thought that a driver would pick us up but we had to figure out how to reach Real port in 2 o'clock in the night. The location of the house was great! Only one minute walk to the ocean, which was very beautifull. The garden was very pretty and the hosts, Lenny and Jim, were very helpfull. Jim let us even borrow his motorbike! The only thing was the distance between the house and Polillo town, were you could get your groceries. You had to travel for 30 min to get there, near the house were only a couple little shops that would sell things like candy and drinks. The house was very cute, although the toilet couldn't flush and there is no shower. The beds are very good and we slept well, but when we wake up there was a huge spider in the bedroom. We figured out that when the night came, the spiders were awake and that they would get out of the roof and walk through the house, even next to your bed. We saw a lot of them, maybe ten, and they were making webs in the house as well. We were very scared, so the lady that rented the big house next to our little house invited us to stay at here place, because there was no elektricity as well and it was very dark in our house. So we only slept in the house for two nights. Also, there were two cats who would come in the house when we weren't there and they would eat some food of us. Polillo island is very beautifull and the people are very nice. It is a great place to go to if you want to get away from noisy Manila.
