The Philippines is the land of perpetual summer, giving us the perfect excuse to frolic in the sand and swim in the sea. But not everyone can easily drive out of town to spend holidays by the beach. Thankfully, there are plenty of Airbnb options for that much-needed R&R. City dwellers need not leave the metro — especially when you can book an Airbnb in Manila with a pool to let you kick back, relax, and beat the scorching heat.
