Searching f modern beach front condos/apartments in Subic/Olongapo???

Zacks,
You would be better looking at Islands in the Philippines for beachfront condo locations. Starting with Boracay working your way to Romplon. personally I dont think Subic beaches are very clean.

Actually, the beaches are fairly clean. Especially in Baloy beach area, but the water is not crystal blue like other locations. Most of the prime beaches are taken over by the hotels. If you go just a little inland, you can find a nice house for pretty cheap. Especially in Olongapo area.  My buddy rents an apt right across from SitnBull. Nice place as he renovated it pretty much himself.

I have been living right on the beach for many years in Thailand and had hope to find something similar in Subic. The other option i have is to locate my company on Mactan island Cebu and get me an apartment there, but i did not like the traffic there. And it is expensive, 2-3 times as here in Thailand for the same standard of living. A 30,000 pesos condo in Thailand cost 80,000 pesos on Mactan, and still it has not the same standard on location, fittings and furniture as here.

I had hope to find a decent 1-bedroom condo in Subic area for 40-50,000p a month but it seams to be impossible. I found an old house on a cliff facing the bay, asking 130,000p a month, crazy, nice location but looks like a poor mans home inside. 2-3 monthly rents spending on the interior could make wounder to it..... Anyhow, it is far more what I'm willing to pay.
