With the MECQ
almost wrapping up and the cases slowly going down, you can finally start making
your itineraries and travel wish lists before summer officially ends. In fact,
staying in secluded Airbnb properties are a good way to enjoy nature and unwind,
while staying socially distant from other tourists and locals.
The Philippines
as an archipelago is home to many beaches and beachfronts. This is why if you’re
looking for an Airbnb property close to the sea, you’ll find so many options to
fit your vacation requirements and needs.
For starters,
check our gallery below for a virtual tour of 9 breathtaking Airbnb properties by
the sea that you may want to check out, from up north in La Union all the way
to Mactan, Cebu.
Let’s start
planning!
