Building a Beach House in the Philippines - The Finished Product & Tour!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ต.ค. 2024
- Since we started building our beach house, we had a lot of requests to upload the house tour. As you all know, we first built the second floor of the house where our bedroom is, then later, the first floor where the kitchen, rest room (or what the Filipinos call CR which stands for Comfort Room), and living room. We did upload the video for that part, and if you haven't seen it yet, please do watch it.
We did not plan on building the first floor (we rented a house in the city), not until our flights back to US were cancelled last year due to the pandemic surge. We loved living here by the beach rather than in the city where we rented a house, and so we decided to just make it a whole house. It is actually no-brainer to just have a place to call our own than just rent and spend half of the week between here at the beach and in the city. We are very glad to finally get over renting and just settling in one place. On January this year, our lease with the rental was up, and so we moved here while construction was still in process. It was stressful at times, more often than not, but it was all worth it. Now, we fell in love with the place where we are currently living. Although there are sacrifices like the scarcity of water (it comes late at night, and is gone early in the morning), far from the city where we have to deliver our laundry, do our grocery shopping, and even the storms that are terrifying at times, but the joy of being by the ocean and to hear the calming sounds of the waves crashing on the beach, feel the coolness breeze, and be around the family, outweighs the cons.
We know it has been awhile since we have uploaded a video to our channel, and we have had a lot of requests to show the finished product and the complete tour even before it was finished. It took us awhile to upload as we were so caught up with the ongoing construction, and just needed a break and to concentrate on finishing our beach house and to make it our home.
I know that the number one question that we are going to be asked is, "how much did this cost you?". The current estimated cost (labor and materials, etc.), so far, is ₱800,000./$16545.60. If you compare that to our monthly rent in the city at ₱18,000/$372.28 and times that by 12 months, ₱216,000/$4,467.31. That doesn't include the utility bills that was way more than we are paying here. We are now living rent-free and stress-free.
We are looking forward to uploading more videos soon, but be patient as the internet here on the beach is somewhat unpredictable.
Thanks everyone! We hope to see you on the next one.

Beautiful home. I love the upstairs' Balcony .
what a house. nice work youve done thete
Beautiful house. Love every element of your house. So inspiring to see you build a second home in the mother land. I wanted to do the same in my birth country Angola. The cost of land is so expensive to acquire. So happy for you and your family 💕💕🇦🇴🇬🇧
I like your Bali style house. Its very warm and cozy. Love your plants!
Honda Click F1 125i great bike I had a black and white one and a red and black one while in the Philippines 2015/2019 but it's a shame they don't make them no more as I will be back soon and wanted to go buy another.
It's a nice house and location.
And that's a smokin' price.
I love the bamboo fence.
You guys did a great job on your beach house.
i like the plants everywhere..so refreshing to look with all those greens around. nice cool beach house Sir
Thank you!
Wow beautiful beach how
My favorite part is the sitting area on the second level what a view. I have seen so many foreigners building big houses. so glad to see a sensible home build.
Thank you! Livin the simple life.
I love your small house
I can't believe at what a big difference it has gotten from the last time you uploaded the dirty kitchen video. I think its a very smart move to build the first floor, just hope you built it high and far enough from the beach? Very happy for you guys, Congratulations!
Nice home👏👏👏
I love the view its so fresh your house its so fresh nice and beautiful I love to see the view😁😁💕💕💕
Love the tropical beach house aesthetic. Things I really like are the kawayan walkways outside with the step up and fence around the house with the plants really give it that tropical feel. The amakan wall and ceiling treatments are beautiful. The kawayan furniture inside is awsome, your giving me some great ideas for my house build. Thank you.
Awesome! Thanks for the compliments! It was fun being creative. Everyday I would walk the lot and a lot of times I would come up with ideas and ask if it would be possible to do, and my brothers would give me a material list and a new project would emerge. My wife was in charge of the landscaping. Best of luck on your build!
It's so tidy and organize.
Wow! You have a beautiful house tnx for touring us. Very nice 👍🙂
Ganda Ng balay, the amakan really cool, ganda Ng kayawan, ganda Ng mga halaman ni Maria…. Looks very relaxing native house. Saan kayu s pinas?
Salamat! Dito kami sa Butuan City. Kayo?

Oh my I super love your native beach house. From the outside to the inside up to the 2nd floor it's all gorgeous. I love the plants I'm super plant and flowers lover. I love the sitting outdoor furnitures,the hammock where you can relax. love how you guys put indoor BBQ griller. I love your living room with that big opening access to lanai its amazing. On the 2nd floor my favorite is the balcony where I can see the beach view and the bamboo furnitures are gorgeous.Seeing your beach house made me so excited to go back in the Philippines to build our dream home but I have to wait till my hubby retire. Thank you so much for the tour would love to see more of your videos. I actually shared this video to my family group chat to give them ideas how to build there native style house in Davao. I just hit your doorbell by the way. See you soon.
Salamat!! We can't wait to get back 🇵🇭 to continue our adventures and to our Balay (we have tickets for June)! My asawa spent 10 years with me in the USA and I was lucky enough to retire early. Keep saving, and hopefully soon you guys will be living the dream too soon! Amping always!! Follow us on IG too @lumpialife🤙

Nice home and style...I hope it all survived the lastest Typhoon.
Thank you! And yes, sure survived!
Love it!
I was wondering what happened to you both. I can see you've been busy. What a nice home you have made for yourselves. Look forward to more vlogs
15:29 That's so clever so spray paint a cheap plastic ceiling fan. Much better than buying expensive metal/wood ones. Plus those things last a long time!
Hello lumpialife, just found your channel. Absolutely love your beautiful tropical native beach house. It is so relaxing ocean front view. Great video and thank you for sharing us the house tour. New subscriber,,,,,have a blessed day and kept the great Vlog coming.👍😊
Wow! So incredibly beautiful.

It's a Beautiful Half Native House Model.Good Job Sir ! Welldone .....:)
Salamat kaayo! Salamat for watching! 🤙
Love the house! Great layout and all natural materials used . Just Worried about the BBQ Grill in the house 😮
Aren’t you worried about carbon monoxide poisoning? Hope all the window / doors are open when you use it. Will keep watching 👍
Beautiful beach house
Thanks 🙏
I like your house. such a simple and so nice very very nice.
🙏 Thank you! Nice to live simple.
Wow i love your house. Thats the floor I want! ❤️
I like your plants garden.
We used to have water problem in our place, we only had water 2 times a week 6 hrs each time. We installed elevated stainless water tank and water pump to fill it up during those times. Even after we had regular water, we kept the same set up and we are not bothered by water shortage during summer season. Nice place you got there.
Took your advice! Built a water tower! 👍
Very nice. Love the look of it.
Beautiful home!
Simple & functional. Love it!😍
Great life. Creative
Wow....beautiful house there
Very nice beach house sir!
It is beautiful, except for the shower and toilet tank. Definitely got some ideas for our beach house.
We are planning on installing a water storage tank that should help us with the shower situation.
My dream home
You have a beautiful native/concrete house... wowww... nice design. I'm your new subscriber here in middle east
Thanks! We appreciate your comment and sub! It was a fun project!🤙
Love this. Congrats 💪🏽
Nice and cozy..
Amazing home.
Wow! Love your beach house! Soon in the future I wanna build a beach house back home in ph. May I know the total cost of your beach house? Its very inspiring 😍😍😍
Your beach house is beautiful ! We really enjoyed your house tour and like the tropical look of the bamboo and wood. I hope the U.S. can donate the vaccine to the Philippines so life can return to normal there. Stay safe and blessed.
Lee and Ana living in Phoenix, AZ
Yes! A proven vaccine for the Philippines would definitely help!!
@@lumpialife We are both fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine with no problems, they are saying we will probably need a booster shot once a year.
What a beautiful beach house. What part of the Philippines is this? Everything is green. Are you living in the Philippines for good? All your tropical plants are so beautiful. it adds to the attractiveness of your home. Cozy and peaceful and seems very private and safe. Love it.
Totally agree with you. It's like paradise on earth here.
Your beach house looks great 👍🏽
Thank you!
Reminds me of our old house but better looking 😊
Nice beach house!
It’s perfect for you two.
Thanks!
LOVE your beach house! Everything about it looks awesome. Maybe we will meet someday soon.
Sounds good and thanks! Hopefully we can get back to the PH soon! We had 3 cancelled flights trying to get home, so the beach house was kind of a COVID project...lol My brothers were awesome builders, and if I could think it, they'd find a way to build it.
Very nice house!
55 gallon plastic drum up on a stand or two that will fill with a float to call for water when your water is on to fill them and you will have water all the time
Gutters, rain water catch system and city water storage are our next project. Already in the works. Thanks for watching 🤙
Really Nice.
Thank you!
Beautiful and relaxing place
Yes! Thanks for watching!
Very beautiful beach native house. I love all the bamboos! Great idea but scary to own a nipa hut house. Thank you for sharing. Where are located?
Under the nipa is concrete. 😉👍
wow.what nice house.elegant. i want that same design on my house.new subscriber here.watching from dammam k.s.a
Very nice, a place like that in Laguna Beach, California, would cost you $750,000, great job❤️
A tip for a shower that came from my cousin in Lithuania who rigged up a shower in the backyard using a 55 gallon drum that collects rainwater and gets heated by the days sun which is on an Elevated stand and uses gravity to create water pressure , he attached a faucet to hook up under the 55 gallon drum with a shower hose . You did a beautiful job on the house , it really looks artsy . I have a fiancé Merlie Olahay in Arkansas who is from barancay mansayo on Lake Mainit , she has friends in Hot Springs who are from Butuan city.
Love Lake Mainet! Beautiful place! The 55 gal drum sounds genius idea. The only thing we'd have a problem with is lamok ( mosquitoes). Maybe some screen or something might prevent them. We do want to ad a water tank to store water though. Thanks for watching! 🤙
BEAUTIFUL house !❤️❤️❤️
Salamat ❤️
First off VERY NICE! You have a very beautiful beach home. I stumbled on to your video at random and I was like ok let me check this out. I was amazed at what I was seeing. I even see your dirty kitchen build and the water tank build. I'm very impressed at all you have done and I love the touch of the bamboo furniture it's all awesome. I guess for this part I'm very western, I'm not too fond of the CR but don't get me wrong it's very nice. What I mean by very western is the bucket system yes I know the rule that you make do with what you have. I would just tweak it a bit especially after you put in the shower, I would put in hot water because for me I can't take cold or lukewarm showers no matter how hot it is outside. I love the Philippines I've been there once and I'm planning on coming back in about six months to see my fiance again. I know it's just a vacation place for you and your wife but man it's so awesome, I would love to live there that's how beautiful your place is. Thank you for giving us a walk through your wonderful home. I'm curious because I know we really can't work in the Philippines and you don't look old enough to retire how are you able to afford to do all this if you don't mind me asking. Again thank you and yes I subscribed.
Thank you for watching! Our water tower works on gravity, so the pressure is not strong enough for an on-demand water heater. I have gotten used to the cool showers. The tank kind of "warms" the water during the day. We sold everything back in the states, early retirement, savings, strict budget, and disabled vet. We live here pretty much full-time now. Appreciate the sub!
Unbelievable great job enjoy paradise
Thank you! We'll be back in June.
You have a really beautiful home! My girlfriend and I really like it.
