Island of Cebu

Hi Ken,

While I can't help you with Cebu as I've never visited. Your accomodation budget should get you a decent abode.

We looked here for years (La Union) before we purchased or rented in your case but the main thing was yes health and management as well as reasonable shopping/services, proximity to the better half's family but like your wishes, quiet and water front, ocean for us as 25 years on a farm needed the sea change, not looked back but it did take some finding and boots on the ground will win the day. Good luck and I'm sure other members that live in Cebu will offer advice.

Cheers, Steve.

        Quiet place not in the city?   Good luck with that.  Every place we have lived in Ilocos Sur and Baguio have had barking dogs available at any time day or night.  I am told it was for our protection.

Not seen you about for awhile mugtech. Not sure how the roosters would protect anyone and the barking dogs is debatable. The noise though can be very real. Pick where you live.

Sorry to hear you get lots of noise, very quiet here aside from the waves breaking.

Cheers, Steve.

Check out Minglanilla to the south. It's seaside with some nice new developments. Far enough from the centre not to have the same traffic issues but close enough to be connected via jeepneys
