Vacation houses for rent Philippines

Find the perfect homestay for your upcoming trip in the Philippines Vacation Houses category on Locanto! Whether you’re planning a romantic honeymoon or a big family vacation, renting a vacation home is the best way to find exactly what you need. Choosing a short-term home rental instead of a hotel allows you to have more space and create your own vacation. You will likely be further away from tourist spots, allowing you to avoid overpriced traps, and instead, ingratiate yourself in local culture and cuisine. By renting a vacation house you can get a taste of the life there, even shopping and cooking for yourself if you wish. Often you can get a unique living experience as well, such as renting a floating houseboat, a beach shack with private ocean access, or a cabin in the mountains perfect for skiing and snow sports. There are plenty of options for holiday rentals, each offering unique features and experiences.

Finding the right homestay will depend on what kind of vacation you want as well as your personal style and interests. Some popular vacation houses are:

• Beach house: Typically located close to the beach with breathtaking ocean views, beach homes are a luxury to anyone looking for a relaxing, sunny vacation. They usually have decks or patios to sit and enjoy the sunshine or come stocked with beach chairs and towels to take to the nearby sand.
• Cabin: Cabins are often in secluded areas such as deep in the woods or high up on a mountain. They are a great choice for people who enjoy the fun of camping but don’t want to sleep outside or under a flimsy tent. They usually have nearby ski slopes or hiking trails that attract visitors looking for an adventurous vacation. Cabins tend to feature classic wood paneling, cozy fireplaces, rustic decor, and views of nature.
• Villa: If you are looking for a luxurious vacation home, then a villa is the way to go. Villas are often located on tropical islands and come with spacious rooms, private pools, and gardens. They also traditionally have live-in staff that takes care of the guests’ needs.
• Cottage: For a getaway in the countryside, a small, traditional-style stone-faced cottage is a great choice. Cottages usually offer a cozy and rustic feel, with low ceilings, exposed beams, and a thatched roof. They may sit on rural or farmlands and have simple, handmade decor resulting in a charming vintage aesthetic.
• Bungalow: Bungalows are one-story homes characterized by low-pitched roofs, wide front porches, and simple, functional designs. Located in more suburban areas, they often have open floor plans and lots of natural light. You can find different styles of bungalows, but typically their sleek, simple design looks very modern and minimalist.
