Casita de Familia Private Pool in Polangui: Where We Celebrated a Simple Farewell

Last Sunday was a little bittersweet for us. After months of helping with our Kingdom Hall renovation, three of our volunteer crew members were heading home.
‎
‎To show our appreciation and to spend a little more time together, we gathered at the Casita de Familia Private Pool for a simple farewell celebration.
‎
‎It is a private villa-style property in Balinad, Polangui, Albay, Philippines that's known for its charm and relaxing atmosphere.
‎
‎As you enter the residential area, you can already see their wide landscape garden.
‎

‎The lawn was neatly trimmed and beautifully green.
‎
‎There you can also see their two-story family residence, painted in blue and white exterior.
‎

‎But that's not the focus... the celebration area is located at the back of the property.
‎
‎To go there, you need to use the side entrance that leads you directly to their private mini-resort guesthouse.
‎

‎As soon as you walk in, the first thing that'll catch your attention is the blue swimming pool, perfect for both kids and adults.

You'll enjoy it as it has a sea-inspired design.
‎
It isn't just a flat pool with the same depth throughout.
‎
‎It slopes starting from waist-level water and slowly deepens until it reaches around 6 feet.
‎

But because the pool gradually gets deeper, you will not immediately notice the deeper section.
‎
‎Like what happened to Tin-Tin, our kid friend. She swam around, kept moving forward, unaware that the floor was slowly dropping.
‎
‎Before she realized, she could no longer stand or reach the floor.
‎
‎Thankfully, my cousin Kyle quickly noticed and helped her.
‎
‎So yeah...
‎
‎It's dangerous if you're unaware of the depth.

‎Around the pool area, they arranged rattan beach beds, where you can lounge comfortably.
‎

‎There's also a wooden table with matching benches under a cute umbrella that can provide shade during the day.
‎

‎
‎Also, there are two bahay kubo that add a provincial charm to the whole place and also give that resort vibe.
‎

‎One thing I also appreciate here is that when you rent the place, the entire guesthouse is accessible.
‎

‎There's an air-conditioned room where you can rest, complete with a bed and a television.
‎


‎
‎A kitchen that is available to use...
‎
‎You can cook your own food there and wash dishes.
‎

‎And of course, there's a clean bathroom inside.
‎

‎Everything you need for a small gathering is already there.
‎
‎And as the evening went by, the atmosphere became even more beautiful. 😍
‎
‎Want to see how it looks? 🤍
‎
‎The pool and the sunset...
‎
‎It's so peaceful to look at.
‎

‎Also, if you're into night swimming, no worries as the pool has its own lights, making it enjoyable even after dark.
‎

‎All in all, you can't really go wrong renting this place.
‎
‎It's so accommodating, well-maintained, and perfect for celebrations like ours.
‎
‎We rented it for ₱5,700 (around $102), and honestly, it was worth every peso.
‎
‎For that amount, no other guests, no strangers, just our group, just exclusive.
‎
‎So yeah... It's another memory and hope you enjoy our little tour. ☺️💚
‎
‎Until my next well spent day...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
