WOW BEACH AND POOL, Finding A Rental Home Philippines

[@MelbaGalardi]

My advice is you want to rent a house on your own our privacy is very important.

[@RoseElleNico30]

Very nice view and quiet place...

[@jeffbradburn3800]

You know these places may not be ideal but I gotta say you're being very open minded and have a pretty good positive outlook. The glass is half full type a person. Good luck on your search!

[@michaelwilson9716]

That yellow house is awesome

[@ChuckCampbell-v6e]

Homey, homely means plain looking, homey means comfortable and warm and welcoming

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Homely for me feels like home, very comfortable and relaxing

[@wintersojourn9356]

Learned something from TPL once again…improved my vocabulary. I am a bookworm & lover of language, so I thought I would agree with OP & warn Michael to refrain from using homely to describe a friend’s home, as I knew its definition as “ugly/unattractive”. But, I decided to check the dictionary, & lo & behold! we are all correct! North Americans (I think that means mostly USA) tend to use homely to refer to people , meaning ugly. But the British form is more often used for environments, & means “simple, cozy, welcoming…”. & Michael is Canadian so…makes sense. But M just be aware we your American viewers may hear “ugly”. 🙂 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸🗽🇨🇦🍁

[@jsully4064]

The search goes on! Hopefully you will a place that is acceptable. Thanks for this video, Michael...Jim

I was living just outside of Dumaguete And thought I wanted to live on the beach. A House came up on Facebook for 28000 a month I went there and grabbed it. It was too small, even though it was a very nice place, much nicer than the places you are looking at. I went snorkeling almost every day, but it was hot there. UV levels in the Philippines right now are at 11 which is extremely dangerous from 10 o’clock in the morning till 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Living on the beach is not all that it’s cracked up to be. I moved to the mountains of Valencia where the temperature is much cooler and you don’t need air conditioning life There is much better than it was on the beach, you can contact real estate agents and have them call you first when A place comes available.

[@charlesc.6767]

This is true, If you plan on living at the beach your aircon will almost always be on. day and night. but its worth it.

@@wintersojourn9356 Totally human (as far as you know). 😜 It's easier to trim pointy ears, than to add points to ears. 🌽👂 ... That requires a Chinese rice picker

[@KickIRLRecap]

Also beautiful place, if you stay there you will be living like a king.

[@yusra12]

keep looking

[@TKsolotravel]

Hey Mike, my thoughts: don’t compromise the dream of being in the beach. Your 1 step closer as u cross these ones off. Chin up and persevere in your dreams, your no quitter 😁.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

That's the best advice

[@frankkie3849]

Pool is a plus always but to share something with others not good unless you go rent free that month..plus you can travel anywhere for the time..but me no thanks..😊nicely done,,thanks for sharing,,😊

[@amaliahightower]

You will find your place, keep looking.

[@MrJrweir]

I'd pass on the privacy issues, but a nice house.

[@smartbiz888]

Tape the lenses for the inside cameras the solution for that first house? Not bad, needs some TLC but if the price is right... Good luck! 👍😎👍

[@clayboyd4675]

Good luck in your search

[@lornapecaoco6468]

No Skipping long adds 🎉❤🎉

[@JayLuke206]

Keep looking Brother… You will find the right one and when you do it will be worth the wait! Thanks again for all of your amazing vlogs. I truly appreciate the hard work you put into them!

[@dennisgonya4500]

Keep the faith in all you do.

[@mrq8402]

Flipino homes generally lack maintenance. Many fall into disrepair and its a shame considering that some of these spacious houses are located in a wonderful location.

[@tryscience]

The second home, while magnificent, I can understand why it wouldn't work for you. You work hard and need a quiet space to edit and unwind. I'm intrigued by the possibility of meeting lots of people, but that city isn't in my top 3. If it was a great price for a monthly rental, it would be tempting.

[@jamesnichols2511]

I liked the house with the pool. you have your privacy, but those cameras, makes me a little nervous. keep looking, what you're looking for will come across when you least expect it. 👍

[@claylifto2356]

Condo on the beach as Plan B. Then look again over time for that beach house.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Not that I'm a big fan of living in can-do personally but there are no condos here in Roxas near the beach

[@marccolomayt82094]

Looks so definitely amazing! ❤

[@lifewithkrisb]

Michael what happened to your sunglasses? lol Good video!

[@nicklanger9600]

Nice

[@tomhunter2623]

Hi Michael I would keep looking. The house on the beach the smell of dried fish is not good. I have been down that part of the beach. The other house the cameras would freak me out and no privacy. Wish you good luck

[@randellt]

House with pool and cameras would be great if no cctv and whole house was yours

[@roddielopp]

Hey Pool house looks great! Does the female in the shower come with the place?

[@clayboyd4675]

Yeah, Spanish place us too junked up

[@MISTERPAKEYTONGKeytongs]

I think its better for now to look for an apartment along Arnaldo Blvd. within a year id u really can't find one along the beach...that island is Barangay Olotayan(Olotayan island)...nice white sand beach with a small community.

[@clayboyd4675]

The cameras would be a deal breaker for me

[@88Kent33]

What youlll find with a lot this provinces the houses on the beach are the prominate families that have money or work in manila and go home so finding a lot on the beach is so hard in most areas that are improving.

[@MartinScreeton]

Well... the pool would prevent you from being stung by a very large jellyfish. :)

[@dougparson4407]

There are new condos on the beach in a gated community close to Cebu Airport. No Roosters and very private yet close to the airport !!

[@stymtvtd]

good morning sir! nice house btw!

[@AZ_Bill]

A pool is not a substitute for the sound of waves and an ocean breeze. Might be best to keep looking if you can.

[@robber8869]

I wouldn't like to share with others ..rather search more for what you want

[@Ryan-wi3ry]

Check out solina beach and nature resort in estancia. And looks like the best option caza lyang in Concepcion that one looks like it would be nice to check out regardless.

[@Scamander1417]

Solina is in Carles not Estancia. Unless they have a new branch there.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

I stayed there I have a video about 2 months ago on here

[@malloywest8766]

maybe look into the smallest property cut and build a nice comfy tiny home or small home buddy! we have some good home builders there that can help you. Then if you move you can AirBB it

[@adampaulwillis1976]

Both of those places are rough. Don't kid yourself brother

[@frankkie3849]

Once you said what they wanted the place is a no go..keep looking,,some of these people are just trying to be to ambitious for money and really don’t care about your needs,,hotel room…😮take care..

[@MichaelPeters-s7u]

I hope you find the home of your dreams.

[@thesim19]

I guess you started off at Barracuda bar before you saw these places. Naughty boy!

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Lmao nope in this exact order

[@robertp.7090]

LOL, I hope seeing those fridge magnets reminded you of someone...as many have said, privacy is why you want your own place.

[@rickysickles1429]

Mike if you can afford it just buy a 2 bed room condo bro . If you look around you can find really nice ones for a low price

[@bobnewhart4318]

Respectfully a condo is the worst investment you can make in the Philippines. you cannot resell them for anything in this current market

[@gotruckyourself2976]

You gotta get a home first brother before you can bring the puppy home. LOL 😆

[@ianwalsh-b6p]

weird to have cameras inside when she wants to rent it out so if you have a ''guest'' staying over i wouldnt be comfortable

[@dennisgonya4500]

First time that i have heard the word convalutrd on KZbin. Convaluted pertabations

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

It seemed appropriate but funny I was thinking the same thing lol

[@lornapecaoco6468]

Take your time one day you can find the Right apartment ,,,

[@hygieagaloos6934]

Looks like I know the owner she painted me two pictures and she stays most of the time in Manila

[@harrybretschneider6343]

The yellow house would be nice; but it is very big. It would have cost you a fortune to rent the whole house.

[@KickIRLRecap]

First

[@bobnewhart4318]

Nah both are a hard pass. Too much baggage and stipulations come attached to the pool house. The yellow house looks like a hoarders house.

[@artvandelay409]

Am I the only one here that thinks these subdivisions are substandard? When you compare them to the subdivisions in Thailand they are absolute dumps.

[@bobnewhart4318]

Same price ranges or less in Thailand?

[@Ryan-wi3ry]

Seems like it’s tough to find a place people aren’t living in. Which doesn’t really work well for you. You are like me you like your privacy. You don’t want to live in a boarding house. Another option would be to rent a room at a nice hotel with space they do affordable monthly rental options in most of them. Some hotels have those large rooms with a kitchenette and a sala and a few bedrooms. Honestly I barely use my stove I use an air fryer a griddle and a rice cooker for most my cooking, all counter top utilities.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

There are plenty of houses not on the beach but I'm trying to be patient and get a beach house, considered the other one because of the pool

[@donniemorris9959]

When your lens fell out of your glasses, that meant run away as fast as you can

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Haha.. i still can't believe i didn't even notice at the time

[@salvatorebarnaba7024]

We’re are you now my friend what town we’ll done

[@Dan-xx5jq]

The yellow house has too much clutter....it would drive me crazy every time I would walk into it. Now, if the rich owner is single and cute....you could kill two birds with one stone!!!😅..And never have to pay rent again😅😅

[@gringogg1780]

Why continue to punish yourself?? Look for a condo near the beach Sir.. You have all the luxury of a view, pool, gym ,and security right on or near the beach. No need for a big house for a single guy.. Get a 2 bedroom and make 1 bedroom your studio if you have enough money.. Plus your electric bill will be cheaper in a condo.. NOT LIKE THE TERMITE HOUSE ELECTRIC BILL.. Hope you don't have to relive that. It wiould be expensive trying to air condition those big places.

[@PanamaChele7373]

True but Michael wants space and if he settles he will need space for his Mom, brother and his New Sister to visit! And why not get what you want after hard work and re starting your roots. @ThatPhilipinesLife. PS- his new sister is me. lol. ❤

[@philmcleod111]

@@PanamaChele7373 family can stay in a hotel, for the short time they visit,

I agree , When you travel just close the door on your way out, safe and sound for when you return,

Trouble with condos..many rules, no place for outdoor hobbies etc. No yard or garden area. I've been in a condo 8 months truly regret

[@playa2u547]

That’s the problem…he’s broke AF and can’t afford anything unless he low balls an owner with an offer and then seems amazed that they wouldn’t accept…

[@NiechZyjePolska48]

You mean most incredible

[@masterkingkoy796]

Just noticed, why they even tied that puppy under the heat. So cruel! And it looks like no privacy there. With all cctvs, The owner will just keep watching all your moves.The yellow house is ok but i dont think there’s a privacy if the owner comes back and with guests.

[@Nighthawk2211]

All I can think is that puppy needs more freedom. What is the point of a puppy if it's going to spend his life tied to a tree? Nice place, but like others have said, the privacy issue.. The second house is great, but there are always buts.. ;-) You'll find the right one!

[@maximusX_]

The cams in the house is kinda creepy lol i would pass on that one

[@rayleo529]

I would run from that place, the one withe pool. Too many red flags. But that's just me.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Complicated never seems to work out in the end

[@busyend]

why would you even consider renting a home with others living in it?

[@reign6988]

Sir Mike! I know someone who is selling his house in bay2 across the street. 3storey house 500sq M. where can I message you? I can go there with you and check it out sir mike.

[@reign6988]

I am from Roxas city also. just in San Antonio Village Roxas City.

[@playa2u547]

Selling…he can’t even afford to pay proper rent let alone purchase a place

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

@@playa2u547 curious what in your mind is a proper rent for the Philippines? Since I'm looking 20k to 35k I'm very interested to hear your expectations

[@i.r.wayright1457]

You're going to end up in a 10x10 grass hut.

[@JABM-AU]

Nah, I wouldn't recommend renting a place where your landlord can just come and go.

[@Ryan-wi3ry]

I wouldn’t do it. I think you need to explore other areas there are 7000 islands and 5 to 10 or more cities on each island.

[@clayboyd4675]

Maybe I'm picky but renting a room is not for me. And no CR... deal breaker

[@buckdunn]

Maybe you can get a chapeau and become a painter.

The only reason I watched the entire video is to see just how bad the living conditions are. Dude, I like your videos, but you really need to find a place by yourself. You're a little old to have strangers for roommates living in dilapidated conditions.

[@tommoskal9365]

Go rent a new condo in Mega World Iloilo is a much better location for you then that run down house it will be a night mare in the long run for you concentrate on your you tube channel stop dreaming about mansions on the beach
