Jay and Sarah, a couple originally from Atlanta, Georgia, relocated to Da Nang, Vietnam over a year ago and live in a beachfront hotel-residence near My Khe Beach. Their fully furnished one-bedroom apartment costs $750 per month, including bi-weekly cleaning, laundry service, breakfast, and amenities such as tea, coffee, and bottled water. The apartment features an open-plan living and kitchen area, a bedroom with sea views, and a spacious bathroom. Limited to only four residential units in the building, the residence offers direct beach access and views of paragliders landing on the sand. Jay and Sarah run a local business producing customized coffee table books for hotels and restaurants, and are launching a printed magazine with QR codes offering discounts at approximately 50 partner businesses across Da Nang, including restaurants, barbershops, and activities. They source local food such as chicken rice and Vietnamese noodle soup, and occasionally eat at McDonald's for its localized menu. The couple found their apartment through a Facebook listing and signed a one-year lease for a reduced rate.
