Apartment for Rent - Cavite

I will try to find links to the furnished property my wife and I rented for one month in Talamban, Cebu when we got married in March - just 13,000 Pesos! They offer daily and weekly rates too.

It was fairly suitable for my disability too, except for the shower - so my wife had to help me with that, but I did not mind!

That was a nice place you had - 60 metres from the beach, if I recall correctly Cebu is a boom town with a load of investment into jobs - I'm told four new call centres have opened in the last two years. This is placing a strain on housing so I'd not be at all surprised to learn that you'd have to pay at least double what you paid four years' ago, should you want to rent it now.

It sounds as though you too have a decent landlord - no rent increase over seven years?! Almost unheard of!!

Our house is about the same square meterage but that does include quite a large terrace that's roofed but otherwise open to the elements - we have two (oldish) sofas and BBQ grill out there (as well as a growing collection of kids' toys!). Both bedrooms have their own CR with heated showers - and let me tell you, you do need the heaters! Davao's water is artesian and our subdivision is right next to one of the city's wells: the water is often icy cold, especially first thing in the morning.

Our rent - 25k - is low by Davao's standards. You can find properties for less but they will all be old, possibly all-wood construction with uninsulated (and leaky) tin roofs. We were paying the same rent for a similarly-sized property - but with a much smaller garden area - in Cebu back in 2010. Mind you, we were offered a fully-furnished and equipped 4 bed, two floor penthouse condo in Nivel Hills, above Cebu City, for the eye-wateringly high rent of 100k a month!

The owner is in the US, the chap that manages the homes for him is a police officer, nice bloke, it is a good deal but we do have to fix all fundamental issues like burst pipes and electrical issues, that was written into the contract and I always found that a bit unfair, but can't complain given the rent has stayed the same for 7.5 years, price has only gone up due to movement in the exchange rate, I think it was about 82 ish when we moved there.

The 27sqm condo in Malate that we left was costing me 11,000 a month by comparison plus 1500 monthly association fees, so it was a good deal.

We had to move at the time due to expanding family but I do miss the condo, the facilities were great, roof pool and gym, security was great and the view was fantastic out over the bay, plus it was even quite cool at night because we were so high up (22nd floor).

If I had the money I would be quite happy to have a condo again but would want a bigger one,
