Location: Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic, Caribbean (Las Terrenas is Main Tourist Town on the Samana Peninsula)

Accommodations:  Tropical Villa, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1 Bath (Sleeps 5)

It's ALL about location! Enjoy your own private swimming pool, just 300 steps from the best beach and only 5 minute walk to the shops and international restaurants in Las Terrenas. No car is needed!

Casa Pura Vida is a romantic 'honeymoon cottage' in a walled and gated quarter-acre property. The perfect alternative to an impersonal 'all-inclusive' resort or small hotel room! Lushly landscaped quarter-acre property with coconut palms and tropical flowers, outdoor shower and grill.

Two bedrooms with queen beds plus a twin daybed to sleep five, equipped kitchen and tiled bathroom with shower. Shady back terrace with cushioned patio furniture. Beautifully and simply decorated in beach glass colors of turquoise and lime green. High-speed Internet access for your laptop. Cable TV with CNN, ESPN and TNT. Pets okay with additional daily fee.

About Las Terrenas: Las Terrenas is both a small fishing village on one of the most beautiful and natural beaches in the Dominican Republican AND it is also a vibrant cosmopolitan beach town with over 60 restaurants, many of which are owned and operated by French and Italian permanent residents. The town has high quality shops, supermarkets, dance clubs, two banks, Internet cafes, and all the amenities you need for a perfect Caribbean vacation.

Staying at Casa Pura Vida is all about enjoying the "pure life": Buy fresh fish, crab or shrimp right on the beach for supper and freshly-baked baguettes and pastries at the French bakery, just a 5 minute walk into town. Prepare dinner on the backyard grill while you relax in the pool or enjoy a tropical drink while watching a vivid sunset over the hills behind the villa.

Walk the never-ending beach just 300 steps from the front door, take kite-boarding lessons or just enjoy watching the colorful kite-boarders, snorkel over the off-shore reef, hike the surrounding hills or just do absolutely nothing! Day trips can be arranged in town to waterfalls, hidden beaches and whale-watching excursions.

Attention House Hunters fans! This property will be featured on March 24, 2009 on the American television show, House Hunters International on HGTV (check HGTV website for rerun schedule).
