The everyday grind can wear anyone down. Running around between honking horns, the crowded commutes, and the endless to-do lists, I always find myself craving a quick escape.
Enter Sierra Marilao Staycation in Bulacan. Just north of Manila, Marilao is gaining popularity for offering that sweet spot between accessibility and calm. I spotted the listing on Airbnb - clean photos, warm vibes, and a friendly host. A few taps later, I booked a schedule; the host provided the details and I was excited for a quick reset.
Sierra Marilao is located inside a gated community, Urban Deca Homes, which made it feel safer and more relaxed than city life. Check-in was smooth - I just needed a passcode for the door's smartlock and I was in. The condo unit feels cozy, clean and has a practical vibe. It is not huge, but just the right space to unwind.
The small kitchen had the essentials - utensils, fridge, microwave, induction cooker - and enough space to prepare coffee or heat up meals. A mineral water dispenser was also a nice bonus. No need for full-on cooking, it was more about convenience than gourmet eating.
The one-bedroom unit comfortably fits four, with a twin deck bed composed of a queen and a single mattress on top - it is ideal for families or small groups. Air-conditioning worked well, and the bedroom felt tidy and uncluttered. The bathroom was clean, with essentials like towels and soap provided, and everything worked as it should.
One of the cool perks is the pool access. While the community pool located in the townhouse is shared (this isn’t a private villa), it was refreshing and perfect for quick dips. Inside the unit, there's a smart TV with Netflix and a reliable Wi-Fi connection—must-haves for any modern staycation.
Standard quiet hours were also in place. The place is more suited for downtime than for big parties, so expect a calm, laid-back atmosphere.
If you're a couple, a small family or a group of friends looking for a convenient and budget-friendly weekend spot near Manila, Sierra Marilao Staycation is an excellent choice. Especially if you’re attending something at the Philippine Arena or planning a quick mall run to SM Marilao.
Sierra Marilao Staycation delivered what I needed — a breather from the daily hustle. It’s not luxurious, but it’s clean, comfortable and thoughtfully designed. For anyone craving a lowkey weekend escape close to the city, it’s definitely a solid choice.
