Siargao, Philippines
Your Siargao property, effortlessly managed.
A local, hands-on team taking care of your villa or surf house — bookings, guests, housekeeping, upkeep — while you get on with life abroad.
The honest truth
Owning from afar shouldn't feel like a second job.
Missed messages at 3am. A guest with no water. A cleaner who ghosted. A calendar full of gaps you didn't notice. Managing a rental from another continent is exhausting — and quietly expensive.
We handle every part of it on the ground in Siargao, and send you clean reports and payouts each month. You just collect the income.
What we do
Full-service, end-to-end — the kind of care you'd give it yourself.
One team, one point of contact, one monthly report. No sub-contracted chaos.
Pricing and calendar
Dynamic nightly rates tuned to Siargao's surf seasons, holidays and typhoon windows.
Check-in and guest experience
Warm welcomes, local tips, surf lesson bookings — the small touches that earn 5-star reviews.
Housekeeping and linen
Trained cleaners, hotel-grade linen rotation, restock of amenities between every stay.
Maintenance and repairs
Vetted local handymen for everything from clogged sinks to generator servicing.

Clean monthly statements, real-time expense visibility, and direct bank transfers wherever you are.

Why Salt and Sea
A local team who actually picks up the phone.

Good questions
Everything owners ask us on the first call.
Do I need to be in the Philippines?
Not at all. Most of our owners live abroad — Europe, Australia, the US, or elsewhere in Asia. Everything is handled remotely and reported to you monthly.
How do payouts work?
We collect all guest payments, deduct agreed costs (cleaning, utilities, our management fee), and transfer the balance to your nominated bank account each month. You'll receive a full itemised statement.
What if my property needs repairs?
We have a trusted network of local handymen, plumbers and electricians. Small fixes we handle within an agreed monthly threshold. Bigger jobs get a quote sent to you before we proceed.
Can I still use my property myself sometimes?
Of course — it's your home. Just block the dates in the shared calendar and we'll get it guest-ready before you arrive and back into rotation after you leave.
Which platforms do you list on?
Typically Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda, plus direct bookings via our own channel. We sync calendars to prevent double-bookings.
What does it cost?
A percentage of rental income — no upfront setup fees. We'll share exact numbers after the free property assessment.
