This vacation home (former name "The Beach House") is on a sereen and very private beach and overlooks the bay of Samana. With 3000 sq. meters of lush garden and fruit trees, it offers you a sereen tropical ambience, yet with all the comforts of a modern home. This property has its own fresh water spring, thus always ample hot and cold water, also back up battery inverter and 5 kilo generator, thus always electricity. The property is in a rural area, surrounded with coconut plantations, with a hilly landscape. There are numerous hiking trails into the surrounding hills, and a sizable waterfall nearby.From the tiki hut, there are 61 staires down to the beach, thus may not be feasable for the elderly. The beach is small and very private (as you rarely see another person) and consists of pebbles and sand, (This is not a world class pure white sand dream beach, but then, neither is it congested with tourists and haglers). The water entry is comfortable and shallow a long ways out, thus the generally calm bay waters offer very safe swimming conditions. Included FREE with this property rental is an 18 ft. open fishing boat with o/b motor & fishing gear ( just put the gas ), and two kayaks ( a 3 man & a 1 man ). There are many coves with lovely secluded beaches, just 20 min. away by kayak,or the fishing boat, and many more interesting and beautiful spots (like the island "Cayo Levantado" and the national park "Los Haitises" known for its numerous large cathederal ceiling caves with ancient Taina indian paintings ) just halve an houre away with a private excursion boat, that will pick you up, right at our pier, for a very reasonable group fare. Also, fast boat transport(20min.) to and from Cayo Levantado avail. from the house for 50 US for your entire group(not per person) round trip, full day. Also, whale watching (sighting very probable ) from mid january to end march.The combination of the generaly calm waters of the bay, and the predominant trade winds, provides excelent and comfortable boating conditions.The friendly town of Samana (with its long waterfront promenade) has various international restaurants, night clubs, discos, a small casino, and supermarkets, and is just three miles from the house. The prop. manager/boat captain stays in a small house on the same property, although seldom seen as we respect the privacy of our guests, he is always avail. to help with any detail or answer any questions. Please, no guests under the age of five, infants excepted (unless willing to leave a damage deposite of $300, returnable on departure).From the St.Domingo arpt.(Las Americas), it is a 2hr. 10 min. drive, on a new and scenic toll road that disects the island from the south coast to the north coast, arriving Samana.

The Unique Benefits at this House

A multitude of coves with white sand beaches schrowded by shear rock cliffs, also rivers and imensive mangrove swamps. Famous for its easily acessible large caves, with Taina indian paintings. (The pa
Miles of lovely beach, very touristic, lots and lots of hotels, restaurants, and shops.
