How it works

Someone on the island, from your first message to a signed lease

Most rentals here are found through a friend of a cousin on Facebook. We do the walking, asking and checking first, then help you all the way to the keys. Here's exactly what happens.

Message us on WhatsApp
Six steps

What happens when you message us

  1. 1

    Browse places we've checked

    Real photos, the owner's price, the lease terms and what we checked, on every listing.

  2. 2

    Message us on WhatsApp

    One tap from the listing. No account, no forms, no email chains.

  3. 3

    Ask us anything

    Pets, a longer stay, the internet in the rain. We ask the owner and come back with a straight answer.

  4. 4

    See it in person or on video

    One of our team meets you at the property. Still abroad? We walk you through it live.

  5. 5

    Agree the terms

    We handle the back and forth with the owner, and the lease is drawn up in English through our licensed broker partner.

  6. 6

    Sign and move in

    We stay your contact on the island for the little things that come up in the first weeks.

Before anything is listed

What we check, in full

Every listing shows this list with the date we checked. Anything we haven't done yet shows as an empty circle, not hidden.

  • Met the owner in person and checked their ID

    We meet at the property, not in town, and match the ID to the papers.

  • Saw the title or tax declaration, and the name matches

    Each listing says which document it was.

  • Co-owners and heirs agree to the lease

    For family land, this is the most common problem later, so we ask upfront.

  • Visited and photographed the property ourselves

    In daylight, wide, with the view and the access road included.

  • Tested the internet on site

    We can send you the speed test screenshot.

Who we are

A small team, one island

We're a small team based on Siargao. We started because friends who'd fallen for the island kept asking us the same thing: how do you find a place here, and how do you know it's real?

One of us visits every property, meets every owner and checks the papers before anything goes on this site. When you message us, the same person helps you: answers your questions, shows you around, and handles the back and forth with the owner until the lease is signed.

We don't own the properties listed and aren't brokers or agents ourselves. Our job is to find, check and present places honestly, and to be the people you can reach.

For owners

List your property with us

We photograph your place, list it at your price and bring you serious tenants who are ready to sign. We handle the questions and the viewings.

Message us about your property
  1. 1

    Tell us about the place

    A few photos on WhatsApp is enough to start.

  2. 2

    We visit and check

    We meet you there, look at the papers and take proper photos.

  3. 3

    We list it at your price

    We bring you enquiries that are ready to move, and handle the viewings.

Questions

Good to know

Can't see the right place yet?

Tell us what you're looking for and we'll ask the owners we know. Most places on the island never reach a website.

  • Every owner met in person

    We sit down with them at the property, not over Facebook.

  • Papers checked first

    Title or tax declaration seen, names matched, family on board.

  • The real price, upfront

    Set by the owner and shown on every listing. No haggling.

  • A proper lease

    In English, through our licensed broker partner.
