I am a construction professional living in the Philippines and this house is by far the best build I have seen in this country. The design is excellent and the quality of the work is outstanding. The contractors who executed the work were top class which is rare in the Philippines, was the work done by sub-contractors or a turnkey building company? Camera work was very professional and the drone footage was tip top.

As someone else said, this is one of the best buildings I have seen in the Philippines. Most contractors are not going to be able to match this level of quality. It's beautifully laid out as well. The covered terrace is a must as well. Great job.

That house looks absolutely amazing. Imagine growing up in a property like that!

That's 1 lucky lady ...beautiful home❤

I am a retired American Systems Integration Engineer and have worked on many Smart Homes in the USA and this house. Is an excellent house from the Philippines. Not Smart but beautiful and well built. I now live in the Philippines.

What I love about this house is the tiles used in the bathrooms. They look simple (just by watching the video though it might be different in actual because you can feel the texture by touching it) yet the combination of colors and texture makes it look appealing to me.

I like the house of David especially those materials they installed. David must be an architect, the design of the house is excellent! That kind of house might be available in Hampton, Long Island.

Thank you for sharing your house, Great camera thank you also. l love the house. l got to show this to my wife xoxoxoxo

Wow nice place! Thanks for sharing.

James, great and good clarity of video. Thanks both you and David for showcasing his house on your vlog. I admire his straight forward, straight line design. Color and interior design is great too.

Thank you and David and Rhea for sharing! I hope the house finds a buyer who really enjoys this house as a home! For me "the home" is where your heart belongs and the greatest thing you showed was the talks before going to David`s and Rheas absolute gorgeous house about Tess and Michelle and the whole neighborhood! There in the Master bedroom hallway, I think you said it the most important of your PI Dream "A shower and make a cup of coffee to have in the balcony.." Yess! Getting closer day by day! ...and as said, congratulations for a limit first 2031 subscribers! 2031!! :)

Beautiful home... makes me wish I was there!

I took a little peep of your video and I ended up looking at it all through and through just because I like how you speak and present. You look and sound congenial but not boring. Thanks man for the work.

Very beautiful house, thank you for all this hard work. This is a very rich fam. God bless.

I can't believe all the nay sayers. Wait a minute. Yes I can. Seems no matter what you do or what you achieve people come out of the woodwork to rain on your parade and project their values on your achievement. Well here's what I think. I'm absolutely proud of James and of the owners of this magnificent home and as a retired USAF vet married to a Filipina and owner of a hand full of rental houses and a grand home myself that we get the privilege to pay over 10k a year for in RE taxes - just to live in, I'm absolutely fed up with all of this struggle to maintain a decent life here in the states. Over the next two years we're downsizing and selling off everything and we will be relocating to the PI. Once there we will find the locale we want and will undertake to build the great home we want, similar to those James has been showing. Planning to use similar techniques as James did in Villa Feliz and will no doubt be bending his generous ear for too many pieces of advice to name. I say to this magnificent home, bravo X 10 - he, and James too, owe no apologies to anyone and frankly it really irritates me to have to sit and read comments from bleeding hearts who apparently think that we should all be ashamed of any success we have struggled to achieve. We should, apparently all go sit in a hovel somewhere and give away everything to poor people - poor people the government is responsible to help but are not helping, and who often could take themselves by their own bootstraps and make something happen for themselves. No offense to anyone here but thats how I see it. Bravo to you James. I'm everso proud of your efforts and your hard won successes. And to the owner/builder of this magnificent estate, please let me know where I can obtain a copy of the house plans and who the architect/builder was. And thank you James, from both me and my wife, Heidi, for helping all of us to learn what we need to know.

Envy is painful for some and frankly, not anyone's problem but theirs. Wishing you and everyone else success and bliss if chosing the Philippines as part of your vision.

What a beautiful house love it. Especially the space

This a interesting vlog. Lots of ideas and thoughts. One aspect is the time and effort used to design the internal and external parts. The garden looks like the gardener has put in some nice screening plants. I heard the house size was 550sq/feet, but wasn't clear about the plot size. I'm not a big fan of flat roof houses or extensions. Just because they have issues with leaks years later if it's not expensively maintained IMO. It did kinda remind me of a fire station from the front, with the garage doors. Thanks for allowing us to look around and the nifty drone work. Salamat

I know the P'pines far too well, and I know I just wouldn't feel right amongst all that luxury and space .. 6 bathrooms! .. knowing that there's poor familes of 10 living in such squalor in just one room all around me. The contrast between the poorest and the wealthiest in the Philippines really hit me hard ...

Hi James David and Reah's home has an excellent taste and value, with all the updates and specialty their choice of the tiles and modern fixtures thru out the whole house. The idea of accommodating the down spots inside the corners of the walls is very smart and it's good in keeping the integrity of the structure and strength of the Columns. Did notice that they have some solar panels on the rooftop, as another backup in case of brownout or just for the water heater system? Also the location next to a golf course can be a nuisance sometimes with the expectation of some errant balls... It all depends upon the individuals (Different strokes for a different folks). One cannot help but like the design of your villa feliz, it's unique, simple but elegant at the same time, hope you will enjoy it with your family for years to come. Good luck to you and to David and Reah, and by the way you deserve a Junior Pilot Wings Pin! Regards to the lovely Ness. I and the majority of your loyal viewers demand the release of your karaoke recording.
