LifeBeyondTheSea - Philippines wow that is pricey! wouldn't that be close to a condo rental in Makati, Manila, for example? And the rooster cracks me up every video! Hahaha
It's the old "it's a foreigner so let's triple the rates" routine. It looks too off the beaten path for that price.
LifeBeyondTheSea - Philippines That's to expensive for living outside the city. you can rent a really nice one bedroom resort condo in metro manila for 20k. that's probably why it looks so empty because to expensive. when you move to the province everything is cheap so no need for that
Good point... it was pretty quiet there.
LifeBeyondTheSea - Philippines I lived in metro manila for 18 months and now in the province. it's very comfortable and inexpensive.
Guys I live in Hawaii, and comparatively speaking, the prices in the Philippines are extremely doable!
Wow dude! Awesome balcony! Great place to play a ukuele and have a beer!
The price is on the expensive side for the Philippines but the rooms are very spacious and very nice. If your only staying for a few days the daily rate is really not too bad for that nice of apartment.
Thanks
Those are some very nice units.. so much to choose from down there!!!
Its April 29, 2018. Im in Davao city at the Camella Toscama subdiv. Im renting a 3 bedroom (small rooms), 1 CR (restroom w/ shower), a exterior dirty kitchen, front yard, small back patio, 24 hr guarded gate and rovers, pool and party lounge (50 pesos for pool and lounge 3000 pesos fee for big parties). My rent is 12,000 pesos a month plus 390 pesos a month for homeonwers association fees.
The upside is its not too far from downtown on a motorcycle and not too close to downtown crowds.
Downside is that its a boring city, filthy and even more crowded since the mayor became President. 43,000 new registered vehicles by the LTO (DMV in the States) in 2017 alone.
I am desperate to move. Dumaguete looks good. But that apartment complex is WAY OVERPRICED, especially because it is outside tge city center.
But i appreciate your videos Reekay!
BTW, this a bungalow type house not an apartment with nosey and noisy neighbors. The masterbedroom was expanded from the small bedroom next to it to make a larger masterbedroom. Which i prefer.
Not trying to boast. This is a small house. But good for me and my girlfriend.
Reekay thanks for sharing. I'm planning a long stay in the Philippines come January/February. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again for sharing.
glad to be of help. :)
Nice! And great info! Looking forward to our move later this year. Keep up the great work!
with a person on Social Security, that is quite a bit to spend, almost $730 per month.
Funny how he says at 6:47 the shower has enough room for four or six people... SHOWER PARTY!! ORGY TIME! LOL
Those apartments look pretty comfy. Definitely worth checking out. Prizes are okay too I guess considering they all have pool access and other amenities. I noticed from the sheet of paper that the guy handed out that the apartments may also be rented out alone without amenities; or they can be paid for separately with only some amenities, which is a good thing.
Informative. Thanks for the video.
Wow! What a beautiful place. It's so spacious.
i like the big sliding glass doors. :)
Yes very spacious..i notice even with new builds they make the rooms small in the Philipines
Me too
Thanks, very well done.
It's not a LBTS video without a rooster in the background. :) I've thought about staying in Puerto Princesa next winter, the rental prices seem very appealing (mind you I've only checked Airbnb so I could possibly get something even cheaper). Any chance you could do a video from Palawan?
i plan to later in the year. on my list.
Awesome, thanks.
Yes very interested in Palawan too
My family and I will be staying in Dumaguete area for 3 months starting on Dec. 13. My wife said Marpas would be a good place to rent. I wonder how easy it is to get in touch with the owners of Marpas.
cool....Thanks Reekay!! . At 35,000P they are the top end for sure ! Nice spot though !
i saw the inside of one place.. 4,000P/month and it was a dump. ha! roaches everywhere.. bad security.. little sunlight coming.. odd smell. as they say, "you get what you pay for." :)
ya, that would be the other end of the scale I would think ....the "Four Thousand Peso Hell" . Just a guess here but ...the "odd smell" in all reality was probably a 'dead body room' I would imagine in that heat it does not take long ... Just a hunch ! . hard to get that stench out !
wow what a beautiful place, looks stunning , worth paying a little more for something like that
As always you have awesome video and a nice new haircut!
Henry Do you have an amenities or maintenance and what other upcharges are involved like cable and electricity
Marpas Apartments also rents out scooters at 400P/day.. 2,000P/week or 5,000P/month. each unit has it's own electric meter, so that's based on usage. Cable TV is 410P/month. Internet is 1,200P.

Wonderful!! Thanks for the info.
I had guessed P25K and was pretty much right on it...They're definitely selling some "sizzle" here and a lot less "steak"...Places are spacious and well kept but paint and a maintenance guy isn't expensive so it looks nice and they're soaking you for it imho...Wonder what the occupancy would be at 15 - 18K per month FLAT + electric (cable/internet free)...Would be a line out the door and down the block to get in ~ I might even check in LOL...Place looked 3/4 empty...But don't get me wrong ~ Its nice but there's a lot of nice for far less no doubt about it...The up charges for the cable/internet, electric/washing/maid could run you well north of $45K per month (on the short term stay)...
I was there last year . The owner have dogs and friendly
Thanks for the effort of taking the time to go and share the info Reekay.
I know you mentioned the value with extra is worth it but is it security that brings up the price or short term rental?
Are apartments or houses about that range in Valentia?
Is Dumaguete same prices? Higher or lower.
With prices do they provide size in square Meter of apartments?
One main question. Have you done a Video of various Rental Cost with Square meter in Dumaguete? and other areas you have been at like Bohol?
On your bachelor course you could include a video with all the Rental video you have done from Various areas. Just a suggestion for paying clients.
Great job Reekay.
valencia, in general, is about 10% higher for rents than 'down the hill'. valencia has slightly cooler temps and only local, minor traffic so its an ideal spot that commands slightly higher rents.
i've never been good at guessing square meters. :)
Is your buddy Tony a white guy with a ponytail? I know this area pretty well. The layout and large rooms are nice but that location is a bit too far from the city for me. Granted it's very close to the water park and Casaroro and all of that, I just prefer living closer to downtown. Even around Bagacay is a good area.
nah, not white and def no ponytail. :) it's very private and secure. valencia is kinda like 'mayberry'.. a nice little town where everybody ends up knowing everybody. one park in town where most people hang out at end of the day. is about 15 minutes from downtown Duma.
Nice places, but WAY TOO overpriced, especially for the Valencia/Duma area. Prices must be up substantially since I was last there in 2015.
My mortgage is what this place is a month. 729.00 US I have 2000 SQ ft. 3/2 brick home. I understand the privacy and all, but I would fare better in town for a cheaper rate. I can get almost a matching property in Angeles for 500.00 and all amenities included with a swimming pool. That's a little pricy, even for that area. If you got money to burn, I guess it's alright. I have been away for awhile Henry, catching up on my expat friends, haven't seen Lyn with you, hope all is ok. Plan on making a trip there next year, the Good Lord willing. Maybe we can hookup for lunch or dinner. Keep feeding us the good info my friend.
drop me a PM at my FB when you're in town, we can meet up for a chat.. facebook.com/reekay.inph
Richard Cole, yes but drive down the street and see how much a dinner for two costs or tickets to a game or concert cost. $50 for a dinner out now....500 for 2 good seats at a oldies concert....insane in the States.
120/hr shop rate for car repair etc etc etc.....$1600/mo total there, 4 5 or 6 thousand per month in the states equivilent.
Looks good 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice place and the price is upthere but doable.
Yeah, nice place but way over priced for that neck of the woods ;-(
it's likely the priciest place in valencia. later i'll be showing a less expensive place, also in valencia. of the 3 vacant units, one was already booked for a tenant later in the afternoon. all the rest of the units in 3 buildings were occupied.
For Dumaguete , it's too expensive for a retiree but perfect for a long holiday .
hello from Redondo Beach
ay ba fongool.
Thank you for that apt video. I am coming to Dumaguete in July of this year with my gf and we are seeking a place for at least 4 months. Any problem with no bars of the windows? Thank you.
i've only visited, but there is a security wall around the entire complex. looks very secure with only one entry/exit at the gate.
35,000P is about 700 US? I might be wrong on that
That was really nice...wish i can grab it now...please do more videos for nice apartments...also can a person simply hire you for consultation on finding a place there...Thanks P.S. you did not mention Internet availability...need very good internet for what i do
internet is 1,200P/month. from what i gather, is about 1-3mbps. although i would imagine you could pay more for a higher mbps d/load speed. (i pay 1,999P/month and get about 7-9mbps.)
Is such a good standard hard to find in the Valencia/Dumaguete region? thanks a lot for your great work
in valencia, it seems most places are a bit nicer and a little pricier than duma. duma has a wider variety of apartments, studios and homes for rent at a slightly lower rate. bacong and dauin are even cheaper, but you need your own transportation since they are about 20 minutes outside of duma.
HA I stayed in that last room you showed. They rent them out like a hotel room for I think it was $50 per night. We stayed one night.
Looks nice Henry. Is there no aircon in the main room/kitchen area? Just the bedroom?
if i remember correctly, i think my friend (tony) used fans in the living room. each room has a big, sliding-glass door to let fresh air in.
I've seen many places for some reason they just have the air con in the bedroom...im sure you can have one installed
it would seem the bedroom generates more heat than the kitchen. :)
Well said :)
No hot water in the bathroom? Not worth the price, sorry.
Great apartments, Thanks for more great info.
Hi Reekay,
Nice units, did you happen to establish what the price is for 12 months or more?
it should be in the comments here, at the top. (pinned)
Great video Reekay. Very informative. That place is really nice! And a pool! Is it easy to get a taxi or tricycle into town? Keep up the good work.
yes, there is a jeepney going down the hill and also trikes available at the park.
Wow, that place looked amazing, tht would probably times five the price if its in metro manila, do they also sell the apartments there?! It's really beauitful! :)
not for sale, rental only.
How does a person get to Dumegete from here... a taxi? Any idea what that would cost and means of transportation into getting to dumuegete and the hours they operate at? Also would it be hard to get a van, taxi, or jeepney to going to and from this apartments and what would they cost as well? I like to stay here but this is the only thing holding me back...Thank you
you can either take a tricycle from valencia to duma, for about 75-100P (less if riding with others)... or you can take the jeepney for about 20P, which leaves from the park. Marpas Apartments also rents out scooters at 400P/day.. 2,000P/week or 5,000P/month.
@@Lifebeyondthesea I think I rather stay in Vietnam for that kind of money.
why is it so secure there with barbed wire etc?
keep out burglars, prevent any opportunity for theft.
Thanx reekay....nothing like that here downunder
Do those apts have hot water in the shower?
That's a really nice balcony. I have lived in several luxury apartments in the US that didn't have a balcony half that size.
and since the balcony faces the north.. it's in the shade all day long. great for working online outdoors or mealtimes.
Hello Reekay, Is there any gated community in Valencia or Dumaguete? With a house and lot or just vacant lot. So i can build a house. If there is gated community and you have time. Can you video the houses and lots. Thank you for your help. Have a good day.
i'm sure there is, but i've not yet found it. i'll keep an eye out for one.
Look online for "Camella Dumaguete" for subdivisions.
extremly overpriced for the area nice units but 10 k over at least you can get a three bedroom villa close by for 20 k think about it
Nice!
they are nice apts but not 25,000.00-35,000.00 nice. they are missing basic aminities
Hi can you do a video about ballroom or salsa dances in Dumaguete thanks.
if i come across it. i had heard it was offered in Cebu City from an ex/gf of mine.
How much the rent price
it changes over the years, would have to contact them via google.
@@Lifebeyondthesea ok thanks
how much?
rental rates and links are at the top of the comments here.
what do you get for 8000 to 10000?
in dumaguete, for 10,000P/month you can get a 1-bedroom studio. i happened to get lucky and found (in 2015) a 3 bedroom, 2-story apartment for 8,000P. can view it here (is located 1 block from Golden Grill resto, near El Orient. czcams.com/video/6y70cKqChGk/video.html
p.s. when i left the apartment in that video, a viewer/friend of mine took over the lease. there are 3 units so vacancies come up every so often.
Attention with the contracts from Marpas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's kinda vague. a person should pay attention to any contract.
