Although it’s fun to be on the beach all day long this summer, sometimes, it’s way more relaxing to stay at home with family and friends, especially now that the heat index level in Manila continues to increase.
But there’s a better way to enjoy the season than being cooped up in your home.
Here’s an idea: go on a staycation at someone else’s house — a place that isn’t too far from home, but is cozier and more serene.
Here are seven Airbnb listings near Metro Manila that are perfect for your next staycation:
Ocean Nest in Subic
Ocean Nest is a 40sqm-apartment unit designed to be a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. It has two beds and one daybed, as well as a hammock and several nooks where you can lie back reading a book or watching Netflix.
With its ocean-inspired design, you and your friends will feel like you’re on the beach but away from the sun as the unit is in front of a rainforest that gives good shade.

From condo units to villas and farmhouses, Airbnb offers listings that will suit your budget and all your needs for a cozy and unique staycation. Plus, the great thing about Airbnb rentals is that you’re not staying in a hotel run by employees, but in a house own by a fellow Filipino, who would probably go the extra mile to be hospitable and make you feel at home.
