Why Buy a Vacation Home in South Luzon?

South Luzon offers the best of both worlds: cool highland retreats in Tagaytay and beach escapes in Batangas, all within 1.5-2 hours of Metro Manila. Whether you're seeking a weekend getaway, rental income property, or future retirement home, these locations deliver.

Close enough for spontaneous trips. Leave Friday evening, return Sunday night refreshed.

Rental Income

  • Traffic patterns? (Tagaytay weekends can be brutal)

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to buy a vacation property?
For negotiating power, buy during off-peak seasons (June-October for Tagaytay, rainy months for beaches). Sellers are more motivated and you'll face less competition. However, always visit during both peak and off-peak to understand traffic, weather, and actual experience.
Can I rent my vacation home on Airbnb?
Depends on the property. Many subdivisions and HOAs prohibit or restrict short-term rentals. Condos are typically more lenient. Always verify rental rules BEFORE buying if Airbnb income is part of your plan. Some properties have been fined or banned from platforms for violating HOA rules.
What rental yields can I realistically expect?
Tagaytay: 4-8% gross yield with 40-60% occupancy. Nasugbu: 3-6% gross (more seasonal). Net yields are lower after management fees (25-30%), utilities, maintenance, and taxes. Properties with unique features (views, pools, hot tubs) significantly outperform average listings.
Self-manage or hire a property manager?
Self-managing saves 25-30% in fees but requires: guest communication, cleaning coordination, maintenance handling, and being available for emergencies. If you're in Manila and the property is 2+ hours away, professional management usually makes sense. Some condos have in-house management programs.
What are the hidden costs of vacation home ownership?
Beyond purchase price: HOA dues (PHP 1,500-8,000/month), property tax, insurance, maintenance (higher in humid/coastal areas), furnishing, utilities even when vacant, property management if renting, and platform fees (Airbnb takes 3-15%). Budget 15-20% of gross rental for maintenance reserves.
