About this place
In Quatis Ibaba, Gasan, Casa de Aplaya is the kind of beachfront stay that earns its reputation quietly — stunning sea views, fresh air, and a cozy atmosphere that leans more homestay than hotel. For travelers who want the Marinduque coastal experience without the resort-scale pricing, this Airbnb-style property in Quatis delivers on the essentials.
What the Property Includes
Casa de Aplaya keeps things functional and comfortable:
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms - Free parking on the property - 24-hour front desk (a useful touch for late check-ins) - A shared kitchen for self-catered meals - Pets allowed — a rare policy in island accommodations, and a welcome one for guests who travel with their dogs - Free breakfast included
That mix — especially the pet-friendly and 24-hour-desk combination — widens who this property works for. Families with dogs, night-arrival travelers off a delayed ferry, and cooks who want kitchen access all fit the brief.
The Location
Quatis sits on the Gasan coast, with the property oriented toward the sea. The stretch of coastline here is quieter than the popular Pangi area closer to Tres Reyes, which makes it a good pick for travelers who want a more relaxed corner of Gasan away from the main tourist cluster. The address — Quatis Rd, Gasan, Quatis Ibaba, Casa-de Aplaya, Gasan, Marinduque 4905 — narrows it down once you're in the area.

Why It Works
Marinduque's accommodation landscape runs the gamut from basic transient inns to beachfront resorts. Casa de Aplaya sits in the mid-range sweet spot — comfortable enough to feel like a real vacation, small enough to feel personal, and flexible enough (with pets allowed, kitchen access, and included breakfast) to fit a wide range of travelers. If a straightforward beachfront stay is what you're looking for in Gasan, this one earns its place on the shortlist.
Best Time to Visit
Dry season (November–May) for swimming. Weekday stays are quieter; weekends bring more bookings since it's a short drive from Gasan Centro. Sunsets over the western coast are the local draw — the apt faces that direction.
What to Bring
How to Get Here
Casa de Aplaya is in Brgy. Masiga, in the Quatis area of Gasan. From Gasan Centro, hire a tricycle and tell the driver "Casa de Aplaya" or mention Quatis — they should know. From Balanacan Port, jeepney to Boac, then jeepney to Gasan, then tricycle to Quatis. The Gasan Public Market is a useful reference point if the driver needs orienting.
Local routes, fares, and ferry schedules can shift without notice — and travel times depend on weather, traffic, and tide. Confirm fares and timing with the driver or locals before you set out.
