Much needed income for family in Port Barton
Hi my name is Jelma and I live in Port Barton with my two children and grandson. We have a very basic house but welcome you with open arms, and warm Filipino smiles. The house is within 2 minutes walk of the stunning Port Barton beach. The island hopping in the area is some of the best of the Philippines. You will take a stunning jungle road to get to Port Barton and immediately slip into village life on arrival. The atmosphere is friendly, quiet but fun. This house may put some out of your comfort zone but this will mean an awesome experience. The family really needs the income, and every bit helps.
