Beautiful master suite, with second floor bedroom with its own private patio and full ocean/beach view. Four additional bedrooms, three with King-sized beds, one with two Full-sized beds, are located in a separate guest house that is essentially connected to the main villa just a few steps through a beautiful tropical interior/exterior garden. The large private pool and spa is perfect for a cool-down or a warm-up.
The large "Yoga Room" on the second floor provides a private space for Yoga and meditation, and a complete surround sound theater/media room when you prefer that to stretching.
A security guard at the front gate and on-site security ensures that your visit to Villa Gordon will be as safe as it is beautiful and relaxing. The best surfing and kite-surfing in the Caribbean is just a short walk down the beach. Personal chef services can be arranged, so who has to worry about cooking? There is something for everyone to enjoy.
The Dominican Republic is known for its beautiful weather, Without End
Because of its almost year-round warmth and sunshine, some people refer to the Dominican
Republic's climate as"endless summer." The temperature on the island remains fairly consistent at around 77 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. Generally, the whole
island is sunny with tropical weather. The change in seasons is determined more by the annual rainfall then by the temperature. May to October are considered the summer months on the Dominican Republic. This is usually the hottest time of year. Highs reach
about 87 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, with the nighttime low around 72 degrees Fahrenheit. During the high season, the humidity is low, and there is less rainfall on the island. Evenings are noticeably cooler during November to April in comparison to the summer months.

A thick fern and palm hedge separates the only neighboring villa on the East side of the property. A separate breakfast patio/terraza with lounges, table and chairs provides a shady-side respit in the afternoons with a beautiful view of the blue ocean waters and white-capped waves.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
It took only one invitation from friends to visit the DR, and we were hooked. We built on the beach of the North shore near Cabarete, because this was a safe, tranquil, pristine location. Beautiful ocean, excellent restaurants nearby and at the property. Surfing, kite-surfing. Friendly people, and the most relaxing environment possible. Definitely not a tourist trap, and not like the a typical "I look like every other Caribbean Tourist Resort." It just could not be better. We just had to be there!
Why the Owner Chose Cabarete
Beautiful, Tranquil, Safe, Relaxing, The perfect place to go for vacation.
The Unique Benefits of this Beach Front Villa
From the master suite you can see the ocean. Waking up with that view, and walking the short distance through the back yard to have coffee at the marble table at the top of the grassy dune is the best way for us to start the day. This is a real "low blood pressure zone" location.
Dining Information
On the resort property, itself, there is a grass-roofed cabana bar and restaurant,
Chez Arsenio. Arsenio is an excellent chef, and will make anything you wish.
About 5 kilometers to the East is Cabarete, and there are multiple beach front restaurants and clubs (including an Irish Pub of all things), with table seating on the beach, local musicians, very wide beach, an occasional bonfire, and very interesting people watching. Many of the establishments become “discos” late at night. There are casinos very near by. There is a DVD rental shop between Hideaway Beach and Cabarete. This is a private, peaceful location. The undeveloped land immediately adjacent to Villa Gordon will usually have on display early in the morning, a burro (local celebrity) with his attendant white egrets, an occasional American Kestrel perched high on a branch of an adjacent dead tree, and perhaps the horses that are boarded at the resort for riding on the beach will be grazing there as well.
You can walk to the cabana bar/restaurant to rendezvous with others for a late afternoon tropical beverage, and to eat. This is a small resort area and the beach is also very unpopulated. There are many sails in the sky on windy afternoons as this is a very popular kite surfing area.
The “subdivision” is gated. The guards and maintenance people are the friendliest you will ever meet.
