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 we're around, you are welcome to pop in 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.
