“Man, what an incredible deal. Is it a standalone house or an apartment of some kind? Is it literally right on the beach?”

Well, it is a bit hard to explain.
Our apartment is one of four separate living units, but far and above the others.
My landlady has two rooms up on the road, one single room behind that for her daughter or other visitor. Behind that is one other larger unit, but it is crude/rough/typical Philippine style.
My unit is western style, all tile floors, painted concrete walls, and all tile bathroom. There is a concrete front porch, and concrete walk to the road/beach.
It is small, but fine for two people.
The beach is about 100 feet up the walk.
It is not a white Florida sand type beach, but one of the best in the area.
People come down from the mountains, and also from as far away as Cebu City, two hours north of us.
The views in all directions are great.

But keep in mind you can’t purchase a home. Am I wrong? Can you work if you wanted?

Sounds very nice. My dad has been kicking around the idea of retiring in Mexico. Maybe he should look at the Philippines too.
