How do I find a place to live in Malapascua?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Malapascua involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a simple room in a guesthouse to a luxury villa. Next, you should research different areas of Malapascua. The island is small, but the atmosphere can vary from one area to another. Some areas are more touristy, while others are quieter and more residential. Once you have an idea of where you'd like to live, you can start looking for specific accommodations. Websites like Airbnb, Booking.com, and Agoda can be useful for this. They allow you to filter results based on your preferences and read reviews from previous guests. If you're planning to stay for a longer period, you might want to consider renting a house or apartment. Websites like Lamudi and Dot Property list long-term rentals in the Philippines. Another option is to contact local real estate agents. They can help you find available properties and negotiate the rental agreement. Visiting Malapascua in person before you move is also a good idea. This allows you to see different areas and properties for yourself. You can also talk to locals and expats about their experiences living on the island. Finally, once you've found a place you like, make sure to thoroughly read the rental agreement before signing. It should clearly state the rent, deposit, length of the lease, and what's included in the rent. If anything is unclear, don't hesitate to ask for clarification," said one expat who made the move to Malapascua.
