About the Home
All little details put together are aiming to make your stay unique. Inspired by modern architecture and assembled with native materials, this house has been crafted to make your senses feel all the surrounding elements. Enjoy the sunsets from the rooftop with a stuning 360° view to the jungle, hills & river. The tiny pool, directly connected to our natural 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. Included with the villa, there with a little covered house right by the river and a wooden pontoon to jump straight to the river. It is possible to swim in the river during mid to high tide and enjoy its fresh water coming right out of the spring. This house was designed as an Eco House. The tiny pool is chemical / soap free as it is filled by each case when they arrive. Despite having a fan, we also installed air conditioning for travelers not used to tropical breeze. NEW ADD ON Starting May 1st 2024 : We now offer STARLINK WiFi with over 200Mbps most of the time ! :) We also provide Hot / cold water for the shower, fresh local grounded coffee and drinking water. The house is a one bedroom house. We availed the option of having an extra pull out double mattress from under the bed 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. The house gets bright early in the morning. If you are not a sunrise lover or early bird, a sleeping mask is advised. We are blessed to not have more moskitos in this area compared to the rest of the island, however, from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, they show up with the sunset like every where else. We recommend to have a fan nearby to keep them away, the moskito coils (that are provided), or the use of a lotion. Being in the middle of wildlife, you may encounter jungle sounds at night, and get the visit of some friendly bugs and small insects if the doors are left opened. Our water source is near the river, and therefore can get slightly salty, depending on the tides and rainfalls (it is difficult to predict!). It is usually just barely noticeable, but we provide a big bucket of fresh water in the shower to rinse yourself just in case. Santa Cruz is a fisherman village known for the kindness of its people. There are a few (but very good !) restaurants in Santa Fe, the nearby village, and the rest are in General Luna Area. Santa Fe is famous for its unique empty beaches and its uncrowded surf spots (& sometimes Kitesurf) . Our local friends are excellent surf instructors, and will be available for you if you're craving for surf lessons, at the beach a few minutes away from the property. Travelers will have full and exclusive access to their private house, with small surrounding garden, a private Rooftop, and a direct private pathway to the river. The pool, outdoor kitchen & bathrooms are all private. The little bridge and small river house down are shared with our twin house that is also offered on airbnb in case you travel in bigger groups. It is recommended for our guests to have a motorbike or scooter to reach the house, since it is a little far from the restaurants and stores. If you don't feel comfortable in riding motorbikes, it is also possible to hire the services of a tricycle driver. 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 :)
