Why Stay Longer In Your Weekend Home
Manila Bulletin
|September 9, 2020
The new normal life boosted the many points of investing in property, especially in a weekend home. After the strict lockdowns, the second home for many people became the family’s main address for a few months. Suddenly families who have stayed only in those properties for a weekend or a week at the most overstayed and became almost like local residents.
Those who had invested in a second home mainly because they truly thought of living there someday immediately appreciated the many benefits for making their choice in a sustainable community backed by the integrity of SM Prime Holdings, the developer of the property, and the expertise of the Pico de Loro Cove Condominiums property management team.
Those who own second homes in Pico de Loro Cove at Hamilo Coast found the investment priceless. At a time when the lockdown put Metro Manila and Luzon on “pause-mode,” inventors turned residents of Hamilo Coast had the luxury of walking along the 1.5-kilometer white sand beach or the view of the forest-covered mountains.
During the long days, residents had the freedom to walk around the property’s well-maintained pocket gardens, swim in the pool, or read a book—with the melody of the sea lapping on the shore and the soothing breeze.
