A lovely housein a nice location. It is safe, secure, and very clean. It is a good place to come back to and relax for an evening swim before going out at night. It is located in a tranquil setting but close enough to walk to the beach and the nightlife. Go service by all and a few laughs along the way. The villa is well equipped to cook a nice meal with all moden conveniences. I had a wonderful stay and would recommend this villa toeveryone!

Owner response:Bill, Thank you for taking the time to write a nice review. I look forward to your return.

My Vacation in Sosua

I stayed in Dee and Steve's villa for 4 nights and it was wonderful. The maid, Francia, and pool man kept everything sparkling. Dee has the whole house decorated beautifully. It's almost like being at home! It's easy to walk to town to shop, eat or go to the clubs. Thanks for such a great time, Dee and Steve.

Owner response:You are welcome, my friend.

i was very impressed with this site. The home i saw was the exact home i stayed in. Dee, the property owner, was polite, professional, kind and a absolute pleasure to deal with. Any question, Dee was available. The property was well maintained, the maid was great. It was a great vacation! I will stay at this property again and will book through Homeaway again! The house is in a great location. Safe. Close to the town, but far enough away to be quiet at night. I love this place! Thank you Dee for a great, relaxing and fun vacation! You have a beautiful home! Thank you for sharing it with me! I will return! Robert

Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to write a nice review. I'm happy to hear you had a nice stay in my home. I look forward to your return.

My buddy and I needed a break from the concrete jungle of NYC. Upon arriving at the airport we were greeted by Jesus G who was our ride to our villa. Jesus is awesome, he took good care of us and offered to drive us around if we needed to explore towns outside of Sosua. Once in Sosua you really don't need a car since the villa is walking distance to everything. The villa was amazing, immaculately clean, tastefully decorated and a pool that hits the spot on a hot sunny day. The kitchen is fully stocked; all cooking pots, utensils, glasses and everything you need to cook. The bedrooms are nice with one of them having its own private bathroom. This master bedroom also houses the safe. Nice dining area to relax and enjoy some drinks. Dee has the best customer service skills I've ever come across. She even contacted me back when she was out of the country. She made sure that all my questions were answered and went out of her way to give me some tips on how to make the most out of my vacation The villa is in a gated community and everyone there is very friendly and helpful. Can't ask for anything better in Sosua, don't think twice about it just book it and enjoy paradise.

Owner response:Thank you very much for the wonderful review. I look forward to your return.

Great Stay

My stay in Sosua was made pleasant due to the accommodations provided within the Hispaniola Residential. We were first met at a secured gate leading into the community, directed to check-in, and spoke to the property manager. She was friendly and informative and directed us toward our residence. Upon entering the house we were pleased at how well maintenance the property appeared. All the amenities were in great condition and the pool looked awesome! One good asset was that the rooms were spacious and each bathroom was accommodating. The house is located extremely close to the main center of town (walking distance -5 mins), well lighted streets, close to a market, minutes to the beach. My only complaint with the house was that the drainage in the showers were slow which tend to mandate that we take not take as much time showering. We contacted Dee and she immediately had someone from maintenance respond to take care of that problem. Upon my return to Sosua this rental will be high on my list!

Owner response:Thank for for taking the time to write a nice review. I look forword to you return.

A great place to stay

My brother and I had a ten day stay, and enjoyed every minute of it. The house is very well kept. Jesus was there for us whenever we needed him, and new all of the good places to go. And Francia was the best. She was very sweet, and she did a great job making sure everything was clean. And the pool guy was there every morning to clean the pool. We also had more then enough cooking equipment in the kitchen.

Owner response:I am very happy you and your brother had a great vacation. Thank you for the nice review. I look forward to your return visit.

Excellent relaxing vacation

The Villa was much better than I expected, days were spent relaxing by the pool and the views were gorgeous. It was clean and well maintained, the pool was cleaned daily, the maid was friendly and I felt very safe. The food is great and so is the nightlife. Walking distance to grocery store, beach, restaurants, bars. Dee and Steve were very friendly, helpful and accomodating. Their recommended taxi driver, D'Jesus is very knowledgeable, friendly and fair. I plan on returning with my kids this summer and highly recommend this villa for anyone visiting, especially first timers (like me), they do their best to make it a great experience. Thanks for a great vacation.

Owner response:It was a great pleasure meeting you both. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to your return. Thank you for taking the time to write a wonderful review.

A wonderful way to spend our first trip to the DR!

Dee and Steve were staying at their condo during our visit, so in addition to getting us oriented to life in Sosua, we also made some new friends! The house is great – very comfortable, quiet, and accommodating. The housekeeper Francia is very sweet and we enjoyed chatting with her (or trying to) in Spanish. We spent many hours (and Happy Hours) relaxing by the pool, and made good use of the internet access. We really enjoyed walking through their beautiful neighborhood and strolling into town. Many good restaurants, especially La Finca and Orchidee. Brittania is the place for happy hour, with a good Italian restaurant next door. Take the 10 minute drive to Cabarete and enjoy a good beach with restaurants and bars on the beach. Kahuna is great for happy hour, and La Casita Papi has excellent food. Casanova is a must, for great food at lower prices. Drive a little further to Playa Grande and enjoy locally prepared food on the beach. Two weeks in paradise with perfect weather, perfect hosts, and a terrific house – thank you so much Dee and Steve for a perfect vacation! We will be back!

Owner response:It was such a pleasure meeting and spending some time with both of you. We look forward to your return. Hopefully we can be in Sosua at the same time. Try to visit us in Ocean City.
