Sunset Beach House is a very nice house on the beach situated in a small peaceful

fishermen village in a well-protected bay, which serve as a rich-fishing ground for the

whole village..., a perfect place for being at peace, living a very simple life...a place to

witness the most beautiful and spectacular sunset.

The house has been built with natural materials located in the middle of a long white

beach, full of marine life.

Sunset Beach House is very accessible for only 50-minute flight from Manila or only 2

hours by boat or cruise ship from Boracay.

(Boracay is the No.1 tourist destination in the Philippines, they provide services such

as renewal of visas).

The beach house is divided in two completely independent apartments, each

apartment(80sq.m. per unit) is furnished with hot and cold shower, 2 rooms with

matrimonial bed,complete kitchenwares with stove and refrigerator, dining place, a

veranda with hammock for great ocean view and efficient lighting system and ceiling fans for those who wish to enjoy the cool island breeze.

In the shoreline of the village, everyday we experience the low tide and high tide, the

rise and fall of the sea level. There are times when you wake up in the morning, there

are no water at all. The water can be reached beyond the islet infront of the house which is about 80 meters, during this time you can see fishermen or their wives and children collect edible mollusks, squid,crabs, and algae. There are also a lot of starfishes with different colors and dimentions.

Slowly around 10 in the morning, the water has already reached the shoreline.

Have your breakfast in an open space veranda with hammock where you can enjoy the nice ocean view and see fishermen arriving early morning with freshly catch fish where you can have it for a very humble price.

The easiest way to cook dinner is grilled potatoe and grilled fish, the BBQ is in the

front yard of the house.

If you do not want to cook, shop your food and let our service lady prepare the food and rearrange the table after each meal and washing the dishes:

Lunch and Dinner preparation(the same day): 400Php

  Everything's better in the Philippines...

  Left on 02/26/2013 for a stay in February 2013
  
  

  This is the perfect getaway place. We are a family of 5 (2 girls ages 4 & 2 and a son, 9 months old) and we stayed for 7 nights. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The ocean is just outside the front door, and the water is so relaxing and warm. At low tide, you can walk all the way to the island and see some of the coolest, most colorful sea creatures! Riding in the fishing boat from Looc to the house was great. Even so far from the shore, you can see to the bottom of the sea and see starfish, fish, and other sea creatures.
  
  Vanessa is wonderful at communicating--she is prompt, reliable, truthful, and friendly. She gave us so many helpful tips before arriving that we felt as though she were an old friend of ours.
  
  The village where the house is located is home to some of the friendliest people I've ever met. Ever. We instantly felt accepted and taken care of by everyone we met. Walking through the village was fantastic, where everyone greets you with a smile and a hello. The children are so friendly and happy--my daughters fell in love with them and loved playing with the local kids, hunting for seashells and hermit crabs, and walking to the little shop for ice candy.
  
  The house was the perfect size and very clean and well-cared for. The girls had their own room, & our son had a crib that they were gracious enough to provide so we didn't have to tote our own. We had a bathroom, kitchen/living space, and a lovely porch with a hammock where the views are stunning. We were able to just completely relax.
  
  The food was absolutely some of the best we've ever had. We bought fresh fish a few times while we were there and the preparation was outstanding. Sonia and Dely took such good care of us and we felt like extended family. The girls took to them immediately and enjoyed when they came by the house. It was very difficult to say good bye at the end of our vacation. I hope we can go back again someday.

  Myself, My wife and our Two year old son, had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Beautiful Casa Paradiso in March 2012. We were picked up by the boatman in his Banca from Looc bay. Just 10 Minutes later we arrived at the stunning setting of Casa Paradiso. Right on the sea front, where you can hear the calming lapping of the sea.
  I could not wait to jump into the Crystal clear waters.It was perfect for my Two year old Son. You can walk out so far on the Sand bottom sea. The apartments are very Spacious and clean. With everything you need to keep you going. We will be back asap for a much longer stay. Enjoyed this paradise on earth.

  Casa Paradiso is a real paradise...a unique experience

  Left on 02/20/2012 for a stay in October 2011
  
  

  Casa Paradiso is really beautiful, the colors and the feelings you evoke,a place like this is very special.
  There are few people in this village but gentleness and sweetness unmatched.
  I met ''Iloc'' ( an old folk in the village) always ready to fulfill your every desire, from collecting coconuts to savor the milky juice of this fruit, to cook the freshly caught fish on the grill, to ride his boat to see the corals.
  Dely, the wife of Iloc will cook for you whatever you bought in the market of the Looc (a nearby town in 10 minutes by boat).
  And how not to speak of children playing on the beach, whose ambition is only to know your customs and traditions to enrich their spirit?
  Casa Paradiso then is enchanted: the house is situated on a long white beach surrounded by palm trees with an islet in front,snorkelling can be done easily, you can see puffer fish, porcupine fish and many other bright colors, which can only be seen in aquariums.
  The sunsets are undescribable: certainly the nicest I've ever seen, with the sun rays emanating, at times red, pink and blue, set right in front of Casa Paradiso.
  I would certainly come back to soak in the beauty and peace of Casa Paradiso, among people close to you, but do not consider how the chicken plucking, but with a great deal of discretion will feel the pleasure to be rich with new experiences and give them your experiences and knowledge.
