Sea Me

근처에 Inambakan Falls가있고 남부 쪽으로 조금만 내려가도 여러개의 폭포를 만날수 있다. 마당앞 깨끗한 바닷가에서 바로 수영할수 있고, 밤에는 반딧불을 볼수가 있다. 그리고 사장님의 친절함과 세심한 배려로 푹 쉴수가 있다.

If I could give Sea Me a higher rating then 10 I would. This place is your home away from home. The host Grace is such a lovely soul that made me feel comfortable and was beyond helpful, by the end I was calling her my Filipino mom! Grace went above and beyond to make my stay at her lovely home as pleasant as possible, from cooking amazing home cooked meals, preparing a fish for me I purchased at the near by market, to helping me find a place to rent a scooter, convincing her neighbor Mark to take me fishing with him, recommending the best spots to visit.. the list just goes on and on. My only regret was not booking it for longer! If life permits it, I will definitely be back to Sea Me, a wonderful place to experience Filipino life and the ideal place to bring your family to. Beyond recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful place and an incredibly welcoming host!

Does not apply to me.

Ich war mit meiner Tochter und ihren Kindern (5, 3) bei Grace zu Gast. Sie ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin und ihr Haus direkt am Meer einfach ein herrlicher Platz für einen Urlaub mit Kindern. Wir wurden mit köstlichem Frühstück, ganz viel Herzenswärme und einem wundervollen Gefühl des Willkommen-Seins verwöhnt... Unser Zimmer war sauber und ausreichend groß, das Bad gleich über den Gang, beides im ersten Stock des Hauses... es gibt zwei sehr gutmütige und liebe Hunde, von denen einer am liebsten unter der Stiege schläft und der andere uns gern Gesellschsft geleistet hat... der Garten ist groß und durch einen riesigen Baum wunderbar beschattet... danke Grace für die unvergesslichen Tage bei dir, wir werden diese bosonders einzigartige Zeit nie vergessen!

Beautiful location with a view of the beach with sunset from the dinner table. Grace is a very nice host who offered us some homemade fillipino food for a few pesos. The rooms have no airco but the sea breeze cooled the rooms down more than enough. The town itself was also nice after the busy touristy spot of Moalboal, and close to the waterfalls if you want to visit those. Would have loved to stay longer if only we found it earlier!

Tout était absolument incroyable ! Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été immédiatement séduits par la vue, digne d’un véritable tableau. La maison, traversante, offre une vue permanente sur la mer, ce qui rend le séjour encore plus magique. Grace, notre hôte, est d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle. Elle fait tout pour que l’on se sente bien et que le séjour soit parfait. Nous avons eu la chance de partager deux repas avec elle et sa fille, et on nous a même appris à préparer des lumpias — un vrai moment de convivialité ! Et que dire des couchers de soleil… tout simplement à couper le souffle. L’accès direct à la mer est un énorme plus, tout comme le cadre paisible et relaxant. Le logement est à la fois confortable et plein de charme, avec une ambiance chaleureuse de maison de famille. Le rapport qualité-prix est imbattable pour une telle expérience. L’emplacement est également idéal pour explorer les cascades des environs. Même sans climatisation, la chambre reste fraîche grâce aux ventilateurs. La salle de bain est très agréable, et la petite terrasse privée est un vrai bonus. Je recommande cet endroit à 100 % à tous ceux qui recherchent un lieu paisible, authentique, avec des hôtes adorables

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A peaceful seaside stay with the warmest hosts Our time at Sea Me Homestay was truly special. Grace and her husband Matthias are incredibly welcoming and genuine hosts who make you feel at home from the very first moment. This is not just a place to sleep – it’s a place to connect, share stories, and experience real island hospitality. The accommodation itself is wonderfully quiet and located directly by the sea. Waking up to the sound of the waves and the calm surroundings was pure relaxation. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape away from noise and crowds, this is the perfect spot. One of the highlights was sitting together for coffee before our departure. Grace served us freshly baked, warm banana chocolate cake – absolutely delicious! The bananas even came from their own garden, which made it feel even more special and authentic. You can truly taste the freshness. For breakfast, she prepared a tasty omelette and homemade passion fruit jam – both full of flavor and made with care. It’s these little homemade details that make the experience unforgettable. We also really appreciated the honest and helpful travel tips. Thanks to Grace’s recommendation, we took the local bus for our onward journey – a fun and very affordable experience that we might have missed otherwise. In short: Sea Me Homestay offers peace, authenticity, and heartfelt hospitality right by the ocean. If you value genuine connections, homemade food, and a calm seaside atmosphere, this is the place to stay. We would absolutely come back. 🌊🍌☕ Clemens and Alessa

Grace nous a accueilli comme de vieux amis, nous étions comme à la maison! Son mari nous a guidé dans la jungle pour aller aux chutes à pied, une des plus belles matinées! Ces chutes où nous étions seuls furent incroyables!!

De locatie had een mooie en rustige ligging, uitzicht op zee wanneer je ging ontbijten. De kamers hadden een speelse inrichting en via de grote ramen kon je genieten van het uitzicht op de omgeving. Er werd actief met je meegedacht op het moment dat we geen motor konden huren. Samen met andere logées konden we, via onze host, een auto huren en alsnog verschillende uitstapjes maken

De afstand die je te voet moest afleggen met je bagage tot de woning, We zijn niet meer van de jongsten, dus dat viel ons een beetje tegen.

オーナーご家族に親切にしていただき、心温まるおもてなしで、フィリピン旅行が、より楽しくなりました。町の人々も優しく親切です。ビーチで人懐っこい可愛い子供達に出会いがあったり、バイクで二十分位の場所に温泉も有り日本人には嬉しい熱湯でした。綺麗な景色が見れる場所が沢山あります。

特にありません。

Een ongelooflijk serene omgeving. Het was wat moeilijk te vinden met manoeuvreren over smalle paadjes, waar ij je denkt, waar kom ik toch uit? En dan is daar plots het beach house van Matthias, met een terras aan de oceaan. Zo authentiek. En Matthias is een super gastheer. Het uitgebreide ontbijt met zelfgebakken brood en overdaad aan vers fruit was het beste van mijn wekenlange verblijf op de Filipijnen.

Eigenlijk niets. Hooguit dat het een beetje lastig te vinden is, zeker in het donker als je terugkomt van het restaurant. Maar eigenlijk is dat ook de charme.

The owners were very accommodating and you can tell they are kind people. Good place to unwind to forget the hectic city life. Sea, Seabreeze and green surroundings. Delicious food right from the their kitchen 😋 and local fruits are serve 😋.

We really loved our stay from the beginning to the end. If you use google maps: trust the location it sends you to. Follow the trail past the surrounding houses for 50 meters ,go through the gate and you'll arrive at this cosy b&b have a magnificent ocean view and (if you like) a firefly treat in the garden at night.

Our overall experience was very positive. Grace, our host, welcomed us very warmly into her own home and made us feel like part of the family. The children absolutely loved making bead jewelry and playing in the garden with a beautiful sea view. Grace cooked delicious meals for us, and the early morning dolphin tour was fantastic and truly memorable. The stay had a very homely, heartfelt atmosphere. The rooms themselves are simple but perfectly fine.

The bathroom could have been cleaner, and the food felt a bit overpriced for what was offered.

We loved staying at Sea Me with Grace and Mathias. Staying in their home felt so welcoming and comfortable. This place is perfect for people that enjoy nature and resting in a comfortable home. Their house is full of life- from fireflies to geckos. The kingfishers land on the tree each morning. And you can swing on a hammock and watch the sun set over the ocean. Thank you also for the delicious home-cooked food! In addition, Grace made the stay so fun for our two daughters. It honestly felt like family.

Es gibt diese Orte, an denen man ankommt und augenblicklich weiß: Egal, wie viele Tage man hier gebucht hat - es sind zu wenig. Das "Sea Me" ist so ein Ort. Ruhig gelegen direkt am Meer mit Blick auf das gegenüberliegende Negros, wunderbare Wasserfälle in der Nähe, ein kleines idyllisches Dorf drumherum. Und im Hof steht ein Baum, in dem ich nachts ein paar Glühwürmchen beobachten konnte. Das "Sea Me" ist ein Ort, um zur Ruhe zu kommen und trotzdem etwas zu erleben. Die großartigen Betreiber kümmern sich um alles: Essen, Scooter, Delfintour, Wanderung, Gespräche. Und wer es vierbeinig mag, holt sich zum Kuscheln einfach einen der beiden Hunde dazu. Vielen Dank für diesen Aufenthalt. Vielen Dank für eure Bekanntschaft. Ihr seid eine Bereicherung.

C’est la pépite du voyage, nous avons été divinement bien accueillis par Grâce et sa famille. Elle nous a offert les snacks et le dîner traditionnel. Le lieu est conforme aux images, très confortable et très propre. Idéal pour aller aux chutes d’Inambakam

The hosts were very generous. We had good conversations and we felt that the hosts were really interested in us having a great stay. Tips and experiences for our following travels were included, it just felt like home. Thank you again!

Wonderful Hosts, very helpful with everything we needed.

Die Unterkunft war Mega Mega süß auch die Familie die es führen haben sich ganz herzlich um uns gekümmert, super leckeres Frühstück gezaubert und haben allem in allem unseren Aufenthalt auf den Philippinen total bereichert. Die Aussieht beim frühstücken ist unbezahlbar und man wollte eigentlich gar nicht mehr weg 🤭🥰 also war eine 10/10 ❤️

Thank you for amazing conversations for enriching my sol for sharing music and good advices I had very short visit but it will stay with me for long time. Ahhh... and for the best coffee I had since I left home...

That I didn't stay longer....

Stayed here as part of my waterfall chasing trip that started from Moalboal. This amazing beachfront property is a good base if you want to visit the falls further down south of Cebu. The owner was kind and helpful. He gave us advise on where to eat, how to get to the falls, what fees to pay (and what can be negotiated haha). You can also rent a motorbike from them!

I loved it! Spending time with Grace and Matias, sharing delicious meals, coffee, conversations, tuba, boating, going to the market, hiking, uf! which we didn't do! haha. The house with the ocean as its garden is 💜💫 I went for three days and ended up staying for about 10! Highly recommended, I miss them already! 🥹🤗

We loved the home stay, stayed for 4 nights with Grace, Mathias and Sanna, they took us around to visit the waterfalls and hot springs, we cooked together traditional Philippines dishes, we enjoy the private beach and defiantly want to stay their again!

We were just looking for a casual overnight spot near Dao Falls and stumbled upon Matthias and Grace’s place on Google Maps. It turned out to be perfectly positioned between these stunning falls. When we arrived, Grace greeted us with a warm smile that instantly made us feel at home. The place is right by the ocean, and the nighttime breeze was so peaceful. We also loved spending time with their sweet dog, Hershey. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we slept like a baby. The next morning, we had a great chat with the owners about local attractions and rented a motorcycle from their neighbor. They even treated us to a hearty breakfast for free. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to extend our stay. It was definitely the right call—the place has such a calming vibe that we didn’t want to leave. Overall, our stay exceeded all our expectations, and we’re already looking forward to coming back with our loved ones.

WE really had a wonderful time during our stay.The place is perfect for someone who wants to escape the City Life. .Both Grace & Matthias are very accomodating .I was so thankful that we have few things in common😊Both our Family speak German.It was like a Family reunion , WE cooked together, wash the dishes, exchange jokes , stayed late at night and Drink Beer. WE we're Lucky enough.Matthias guide us to Inambakan falls, Sanna bake us her delicious Cinnamon rolls and Grace makes her fresh Salads for us. The Place has much to offer...its just a few hours ride to Oslob ( whale- shark watching) & KAWASAN-Falls in Badian...or just enjoying the Sunset & listening to the sounds of the waves.It was really amazing....People in the neighborhood offers us Tuba ( coconut wine), fresh catched Fish & fresh coconut juice.. Thank You Matthias,Grace,Sanna & Hershey for making our vacation a very memorable one. We even had a Grill Dinner Party.Thank you so much...For embracing my Family and letting us experience those Heartwarming Hospitality & Teamwork for both Family . WE missed you Guys..

A real experience in a magnificent house. A first impression of being out of time when you arrive on the first day. Then a feeling of belonging to the everyday life of the family. We had a great time together. So if you want to relax for several days, I recommend Sea Me at 200%! ++ the magnificent waterfalls 10min from the house by scooter.

The hosts were the kindest and best hosts one could hope for. They had also been very intelligent about setting up the courtyard as a fun and sociable place with cushions around a big homely tree, a slackline, a tire, and the beach right in front. They were very welcoming and inclusive of their guests and everyone felt like family. The lack of aircon wasn't much of a problem as the design was very smart (rooms get morning sun not evening sun, so nights weren't hot) and ventilation was great. Grace, Sana and Matthias were all very passionate, kind and friendly.

Didn't sleep much either night due to loud music because first night neighbours were playing music through speakers with budots and second night there was a loud disco in the barangay until 5am. This was outside of the hosts control though and probably just unfortunate timing for us - may have exacerbated by santa semana or just common in south cebu.

Absolutely lovely house, just perfect.

Grace, Matias, Saana and Hershey are simply amazing hosts in an amazing house. The house is located on the water, the walk from the terrace to the sea takes 10 seconds. And it is west-facing, offering incredible sunsets every evening. The hosts are extremely kind and helpful, they will show you around (market, waterfall, walks) or let you chill if you prefer. They make you feel at home instantly, and there is always fresh food from the market cooking. If you’re lucky you might even try Saana’s delicious cinnamon rolls and sourdough bread. The house offers two rooms for rental upstairs that share a bathroom, we were the only guests during our stay, hence we had the whole floor to ourselves. The room was clean and the beds were good, and you fall asleep to the sound of the waves ! It’s the perfect place to relax and explore the many surrounding waterfalls and villages. Can only recommend.

Nothing

The sea view is magnificent. The hosts are very friendly. Very comfortable place to stay! 最好的海景房之一！主人非常友好。很舒服的房间！

Beautiful place, incredibly kind and welcoming host family. They shared so much about the culture and way of life, made tea for my sister when she wasn’t feeling well, offered great recommendations of places to visit and how to get there. Ginatilan seems a little far but it’s so worth it to come here. Everyone in the town is super friendly and there is very tasty and affordable food, especially at the public market. It’s easy to arrive and go around by bus, we also chose to rent scooters in Moalboal and this was an especially fun way to explore south Cebu and the waterfalls. There are two rooms available, both in the upstairs of the house, and they share a bathroom and large balcony overlooking the sea. If you have a larger group and book both rooms, it would feel like you have the upstairs to yourself, or it could be a nice way to meet a few fellow travelers without feeling like you are in a busy/touristy place. Our only piece of advice is to bring your own coffee if you don’t like instant. Ginatilan doesn’t have coffee shops that open early, just a few iced coffee drink places that open around 10am. Also you can swim in the sea right outside the house, but the beach is a little rocky so it would be good to bring water shoes. All in all we loved it here and hope to go back someday!

There is not a hot shower, just the traditional way of showering with a bucket of water. We did not mind at all since even in winter it’s so warm here, but just something some guests may want to be aware of.

This little haven by the beach stole my heart. Sun-kissed days were spent mere steps from turquoise waters, and cozy evenings unfolded by the fireplace, lulled by the whisper of the waves. Everything felt handcrafted for comfort - from the plush throws to the book-nook bathed in sunlight. The hosts were as warm as the sand, with thoughtful touches that made me feel truly cared for. Although our visit was untimely, the hosts were very kind to us. They make sure everything was ready for us.

Nothing. Everything was great.

EVERYTHING was amazing ! Actually this family is kind, generous, sweet and they make you feel like you’re a part of family. The room was comfortable, clean et good looking. It’s the perfect occasion to know more of Philippine’s culture and also to experience it. I recommand 200% and I would be glad to return if I have the chance. A big crush for this place and people!

Nothing bad to say. Just sad we had to leave !

A truly inspiring, relaxing and revitalising stay at Grace's and Matthias' household. The host family was super nice, they were very inclusive and kind-hearted. The stay was the highlight of our trip to the Philippines, the nearby waterfall was amazing. Ginatilan is an authentic place that is nice to visit. We had great conversations with the family, about the Filipino and local culture but not only! It is one of those places you won't forget

We are so grateful that we could share our trip with our hosts Matthias and Grace for an intense moment ! They were so welcoming and kind. We adored our time at SeaMe, peaceful and magnificent place in front of the sea. We would have loved to stay longer ! Your french friends

We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at this place! It was a very short stay but the hosts were very accommodating and make our stay comfortable. The room was clean, cozy with a lot of books🥰 i also loved that they have dogs and were very sweet- a delightful bonus to our stay! would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic and accommodating place to stay.

Hosts. Place is run by great, warm and welcoming family. We feel much more like visiting old friends, than rent a room randomly choose on booking.com. We spent fantastic time together. Owners are exceptional guides through Philippine culture and local area. Huge bonus: friendly daughter and dog with big heart. We highly recommend this place for everyone, who wants to meet someone special not just looking for bed for a night or two.

Nothing. Even neighbours singing karaoke during the weekend were fine.
