Beach House

  It’s a bit easy to miss the location of coral cottages if you aren’t familiar with the area, but just keep an eye out for a black iron gate when the road hits a fork. My friends & I were greeted warmly and our concerns were addressed really quickly. 10/10 would recommend!

  Hi there, thank you again for having us. The place is cool and the view, just amaizing.

  Very accommodating host. Love the view and the very cozy and homey feels during the stat.

  Such a fantastic stay. A wonderful view. One of the best sleeps I've had. I am so thankful for all the help I received pre and during this trip. The location is just fantastic! On the ocean! Your own private beach! Given the chance, I will definitely return for a much longer time. Thanks for a great stay!

  I was a little concerned renting this space as there were two listings for the same room with differing information. After a quick message to the host, however, things were quickly sorted out and we booked. I am so happy we did and I couldn't recommend this place enough for somebody who is looking to be close to everything but not right in the middle of it. The view is AMAZING! There is a small beach with great swimming and lots of sea life. Check in/out was easy. Keep in mind, this is not a resort and not fancy (although it appears it will be fancy soon, judging by the work being done), but it was the perfect place for a couple to have a relaxing time with amazing scenery. The pictures are fairly accurate, but might undersell the place a bit.

The kitchen leaves a lot to be desired. There are utensils, plates, etc, but there was nothing to wash the dishes and there is no refrigerator. That being said, there are plenty of restaurants down the road.

If you are near Anda and looking for a quite place to spend a few days, don't hesitate to stay here. You won't regret it.

  we loved to stay with ben and helen and were amazed by their hospitality!! also special thanks to their niece 🙂 in general we belive this is a very nice place, at this price level you need to put more attention on details though. the hot water didn‘t work, there‘s no wifi there, poor bath towels & the garden was a bit messy... we are not complainers as we really loved the private beach and view and especially the people... but for 60€/night some things need to be pointed out. we could rent snorkeling gear, got amenities for cooking, they even gave us a ride to the bus very sweet people!! i think with a little more attention this place can bring way more income

  The house has an incredibly view direct to the sea. It is very comfy. Phem is an extraordinary host: super helpful and extremely friendly. Water is free. Your have to be aware that it is 900 meter to the main road and then about 4 km to the small town of Anda. So a moto is highly recommended to get around. Thanks a lot for four chilly days

  Highly recommended for everyone. A must visit place.

  For once, I hesitate to give a good review only because I would like to keep this place all to myself! The room is big but basic. But with a bit of pictures on the wall and some decorations it will look better I am sure. The mattress is a tad thin. However you cannot beat the location of this place- we got up, walk out of our door to view the sunrise ( sun rises on the left and sets on the right of the place), put on snorkelling gear provided by the host ( really good masks!) and walk right into the sea to enjoy a wonderful reef of turtles, sea snakes, schools of baby sardines, lots and lots of fish . You do need to swim out a little but it’s well worth it. The hosts are incredibly helpful and super sweet. They were in the midst of renovating the place and putting in more amenities. I would come back just to enjoy the ocean wildlife right at this doorstep.

  Very peaceful and lovely  beautiful house equipped with everything you need. especially has own private beautiful beach.A good bed and nice bathroom. Ben and Coral and their niece is the great hosts and there when you need them, Very nice and wants to share all they know about the area. We had a great stay!

  If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing, and outstanding stay, this is the place for you! The hospitality of the hosts will warm your heart and you're only a short 15min tricycle ride (10 pesos) to the nearest town. You can relax by the beach and use their fully equipped kitchen to prepare some food. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Also, not only are the hosts amazing, their employees are also super great (special thank you to Roy!!!) Many diving resorts are nearby if that's what you're after and Coral Cottages gives free access to their snorkeling equipment.
Honestly, just go there, you won't regret it!

  A cozy nice place with a peaceful surroundings...

  This was my 2nd visit to Anda, and I decided to go about 5 days before the trip. I was really worried because I knew there was another typhoon coming. But beach is life and I went! I had the beach all to myself. The current was a bit rough for my tiny frame, so I decided not to swim too far from the beach. I'm guessing the water is calmer in summer. It's a quiet place unlike Quinale Beach (where the locals love to do karaoke). Helen is super nice. So is Roy who had to wake up at 3 am so that he could give me a ride to the van stop back to Tagbilaran. Thanks to Roy, I was able to catch the earliest van and then the boat back to Cebu before all the boat trips were cancelled in the afternoon due to Typhoon Ursula. I was also able to catch my plane to Kalibo, Aklan where I spent Christmas with my parents. I hope everyone in Anda is fine. Ursula was stronger than expected.

  Secluded and quiet location. Basic and clean room. The host was nice and welcoming. The accommodation’s private beach is good for snorkeling. Totally recommended!!

  We had a wonderful time at Coral Cottages! It is really very remote, and not even on New Year's Eve there was the usual karaoke and fireworks, just a beautiful starry sky! Our daughters complained a little bit because there was no WiFi, but that was the point 😉 Instead there is only 3 minutes walk to an underground cave with clean clear water, a great refreshment. The sound of the sea in front of the door, swinging in the hammocks you can enjoy the silence! The owners are very very warm and helpful! Thanks for the wonderful time!

  Excellent host! Recommended plenty of places to go and different activites within the island. The place was clean

  I really loved my stay at Coral Cottages. I needed a break from the city bustle, and it was the perfect place to do just that. Although there was construction during the day and some karaoke from a distant resort, it was mostly the sound of the waves and animals that dominated. It was the best way to wake up—hearing all the birds and seeing the water through the big bay window right from my bed.
Internet is slow but enough to open emails and play music.
The room is spacious and adequate for me. I especially love the glass window and balcony that overlooks the beach. I've have many nights and early mornings there just drinking coffee, and watching and listening to nature. It was perfect.
Their communal kitchen is fully equipped with more than what I needed. They provide free drinking water. I was up in the wee hours of the night, and I didn't have any problems going down to the kitchen and cooking and making coffee by myself. It was safe and well lit.
They also offer free snorkeling gear. But unfortunately I wasn't able to swim to the fish sanctuary. Maybe next time!
The best part of the trip was meeting the hosts, Phem and Pao. They were absolutely nice and welcoming. They made my stay more comfortable and easier. I had no problems at all. And I can't wait to go back soon!

  Very nice place with very nice view.

The host is very accommodating, communication is not a problem with them.

It's under development but still I recommend to try visiting the area and you'll love the place.

  The host was very accommodating. She even let us use her own kitchen to cook our food. The place is great for family and group of friends to bond, quiet and serene place where you can drink and chat endlessly. The spot is a stone throw away from the beach and if you are a good swimmer, you can swim to the fish sanctuary. The host was exceptional, she even let us use her speaker and gave off lotion for the baby

Highly recommended!!!!

  Great location with a beautiful Seaview and beach. The host is so great and welcoming and the place is so clean and cozy. We strongly recommend that place, it's amazing 🙂
