Dreaming of living the lifestyle of the rich and famous? Here are some celebrity vacation rentals worth checking out for your next family trip. We've also included their rates and online pages, so keep reading!

1. Marjorie Baretto - "River Garden" rest house

Hidden in Calumpit Bulacan, just a few hours' drive from Metro Manila, you'll find Marjorie Baretto's four-bedroom rest house. Aptly called the "River Garden," this property is located alongside Angat River. 

The "River Garden" also has its own pool area. If your family is big on sharing meals, you can choose from not just two but three outdoor dining areas on the property. 

It also boasts of the spacious courtyard where the whole family can gather and spend a nice, tranquil afternoon. Just imagine how relaxing it would be to watch the nearby river glisten during sunsets and sunrise! (Get a virtual tour of Marjorie's River Garden here.)

In a previous vlog, Marjorie says she is opening the guest house, so other families can also create lovely memories in the rest house just like her own family.

Since November 2021, Marjorie has opened the River Garden for private rental and as an events place. According to their social media account, rates start at Php25,000 per night.

For inquiries and reservations, visit their Instagram account at www.instagram.com/rivergardenresthouse/ or their Airbnb listing.

Neri and Chito Miranda have a lot of businesses under their belt, and one of them is a rest house near the tourist-favorite Tagaytay.

The Miranda Rest House has two "master rooms" good for two to four people and another two barkada rooms, accommodating four to six persons.

 

In his Facebook post last Jan. 2021, Chito says rates start at Php5,000 a night per room, or you can opt to rent all four rooms for Php20,000 per night. It also has a pavilion that can be rented for events or parties.

4. Heart Evangelista - Harlan Beach Villa

If your family prefers the beach, the prime destination would be the ever-famous island of Boracay. Speaking of famous trendsetter, Heart Evangelista is a co-owner of a beach resort in Boracay: Harlan Beach Villa.

Since a superstar partly owns it, the resort is nothing short of amazing. The villas' nipa hut-inspired design is perfect for a summer to remember escapade. Not to mention the cozy and luxurious feel of the interiors! Every spot of the resort is picturesque and worthy of making it to your Instagram grid.

According to ANCX's article last June 2021, the luxurious resort is offering "pandemic rate," which is a discount rate of up to 50% to book the whole resort for Php50,000 a night.

5. L'sirene Boutique Resort

 

Here's another celebrity property located at a known beach spot in the country: Baler. Known as a beach buddy, it didn't come as a surprise when Sam Pinto opened her own beach resort.

L'Sirene (The Siren) Boutique Resort is a charming seafront escape. Surrounded by tall palm trees, it gives off summer vibes immediately!

A listing on Agoda shows that rates start at around Php4,900 per night.
