Mara and Martin are two easygoing travelers, filmmakers, and surfers, we are often in Baia Nest with our dogs and cats. We keep to ourselves, but if you see us around, you are welcome to stay for a chat. We love to design unique spaces where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Under our company, The Nest by the Sea, we host several pet friendly homes in Subic Bay, Zambales; and Gubat, Sorsogon.

Umi Nest is a tranquil haven for outdoor enthusiasts and creative souls alike. With cozy nooks perfect for reading, writing, or working, this space is designed for relaxation and inspiration. Enjoy a peaceful patio, an outdoor bathtub, a barbecue grill, and a dining area that invites you to savor the fresh air. Umi Nest's continental breakfast is self-serve, which includes our very own home-baked sourdough bread, champorado, peanut butter, fresh eggs, fresh fruit, and premium coffee from the slopes of Mt. Apo and Bukidnon. Conveniently located just 45 minutes from Clark Airport, 15 minutes from the beaches, and 5 minutes from Royal Duty Free, Umi Nest offers an ideal base for your adventures. Notable features include ultra-comfy beds for two, a hot shower, a pet-friendly backyard, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchenette, outdoor dining space, a hammock for lounging, and the security of a gated village with 24-hour protection. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and nature for those who love the great outdoors.

Perched on the scenic hills of Subic Bay, Kalayaan exudes charm with its retro homes, a nod to its 70s heritage as housing for American Navymen. A haven for wildlife lovers, it’s perfect for spotting birds, monkeys, and more. Convenience is key, with a nearby store for basics and Subic Bay CBD just 5 minutes away for groceries and markets. Beaches abound, with Camayan’s pet-friendly shores and restaurant only 20 minutes away, and Acea Resort’s day packages just 15 minutes from the airport. Subic Bay is an adventurer’s playground—scuba dive, snorkel, hike, sail, or island hop. Savor international cuisines at local restaurants, or take a speedboat from the dock just 10 minutes away for a thrilling cove-hopping day.
