Location: Playa Cofresi, Dominican Republic, Caribbean (30 minutes from Puerto Plata (POP) International Airport)

Accommodations:  Private Villa, 5 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 5 Baths (Sleeps 12)

Imagine yourself relaxing by your private pool, sipping a frozen drink, as you soak up the sun and panoramic views of the ocean and mountains. Nestled on a hill just 100 yards from the tropical Cofresi Beach, Villa de las Sirenas ("House of the Mermaids") is a vacationer’s paradise.

Teresa, your full-time housekeeper/cook, will cater to your desires as you relax in this newly constructed 4,300 square foot Mediterranean-style Villa designed by a prominent Dominican architect. Spacious rooms, cathedral and domed ceilings, marble floors, private freshwater pool, and Jacuzzi tub await your arrival in our five-bedroom villa. Enjoy the tropical ocean breezes as you relax or dine on one of our four verandas.

Take a casual two-minute stroll down to Cofresi Beach. The mile-long coral sand beach is situated on a protective pristine cove. Gentle waves lap the shore with turquoise blue water. Palm trees sway in the refreshing breeze providing shade for the weary traveler. Thatched-roofed Tikki Hut bars dot the beachfront, offering cold drinks for the sun-drenched bather. Swimming and snorkeling in the clear blue water are favorite pastimes for beachcombers. Topless sunbathing is permissible.

After a perfect day at the beach, meander back to your villa’s private freshwater pool located on the villa’s oceanside terrace with a dramatic view of the ocean and mountains and is surrounded by a privacy wall. Whether you sun-bathe topless or skinny dip under the moonlit nights, the large kidney-shaped pool with a seated spa will provide a romantic setting for your get-away vacation.

Just relax and let Teresa happily prepare and serve delicious native Dominican meals of your choosing. You will discover three grocery stores nearby to purchase your food or let Teresa shop for you. Teresa’s infectious smile and personality is a wonderful example of the friendly Dominican people. Restaurants are within walking distance or a short ride away and add to your Dominican dining experience.

As night approaches, retire to the exquisite master bedroom on the second floor. Watch the moon rise from the turret balcony. Take a soothing bath in the two-person Jacuzzi tub in the spacious Dominican-tiled master bathroom. Share the large tile shower and the double-sink vanity. Listen to the ocean waves as you drift into a restful sleep on your king-size bed.

Awake the next morning at your leisure. Some people have been known to roll over in bed in time to watch the sun rise over the ocean horizon before drifting back to sleep. Teresa will be arriving shortly downstairs to begin preparing a breakfast to die for. Dominicans love their breakfast and so will you. Meats, eggs, bread, all types of fresh fruit, fresh-squeezed juice and much more await your start of this new wonderful day. After breakfast Teresa will clean your villa and attend to your laundry.

What will you do today? Swim with the dolphins? Go fishing, diving, sailing, golfing, windsurfing, horseback riding, take a safari tour, visit one of the beaches, go to town, take the cable car to the top of Mt. Isabela, or see the countryside?

Whatever you choose, your visit will be nothing shy of fabulous at Villa de las Sirenas!

(Smoking outside only, please.)

  • We had a great time at the Villa. Teresa and Narcisso are so nice and accomodating. I even practiced my spanish with Narcisso & the dictionary of course..hahaha....Eating breakfast on the patio every morning overlooking the ocean along with the cool breeze was priceless and more than relaxing. Gabino was wonderful in telling us about the area and its people and culture during our rides to and from the airport. There are so many things to do, but we choose the Catamarran trip (totally suggest this to anyone) which included lunch and snorkeling - so worth the money 100x over... Thank you Brian and Patsi for sharing your Villa with us, we had the best time ever.

  • Absolute Paradise! Don't waste your money on Resorts where you can't tell if you are in Cancun, the Dominican or San Diego - experience paradise AND the culture in a Villa. As far as Villas go, this is 2nd to none. Stunning scenery, an outstanding staff and owners, and a setting that will make you confident you chose the right destination. After the first drink poolside, soaking in the sun and views, you will be planning your next visit. One word sums it up...perfection.

  • Patsi and Brian - I just want to thank you so much for making our stay at your villa one a most memorable experience. Pictures cannot do justice to the expansive and luxurious accommodations. The staff was so professional and warm. And Teresa - what a dear woman! And her cooking is to die for! All of us are looking forward to renting the villa again with our families in the future, and have mentioned your property to our friends. We hope to visit with you soon.

  • We just returned from a great vacation at the Villa. The Villa was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The views were breathtaking. The staff was excellent and made you feel right at home. Teresa keeps the Villa sparkling clean and is a terrific cook. The info packet given to us before our vacation answered just about all the questions you can think of to ask about the villa and the area. The owners are quick to respond to any other questions you may have. Booking the Villa was effortless and pleasant. Excursions were set up right at the house all you had to do was get in the cab and go. We never go to the same place twice but I cant wait to go back. This time I will be bringing my nieces. I highly recommend this Villa to anyone that wants to experience a little piece of heaven and a relaxing vacation.

  • Our family (7 adults)recently stayed at the Villa de las Sirenas property and had a wonderful time. Everything was as noted on the website. The food was great, the house spotless and the pool kept sparkling clean every day. It was a few minutes' walk to the lovely Cofresi Beach which is not over-run with tourists. There are also several nice restaurants within walking distance. Brian and Patsi, the owners, provide a document with all the info you need to enjoy your stay with a minimum of fuss. We booked a couple of excursions (white water river rafting was the best!) through Gus, who comes right to the house to arrange tours, massages, manicures, taxis, etc. We really had a terrific time and do hope to return one day. The weather was great and with the wind that blows every day, not nearly as humid as we thought it might be. This is one vacation that we can't stop raving about to friends -- and even strangers.

  • There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said below. The house was wonderful, and with the addition of Air Conditioning in the rooms the sleeping was "no sweat"! This was the most relaxing vacation I have ever taken. My only regret was that we were only there for one week.

  • The house was really nice. It was very clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed swimming in the pool every evening and sitting out on the big veranda and looking at the ocean. I would recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a place to stay. The Dominican people are very friendly but very crazy drivers.

  • I just wanted to say that your beach house was everything you said it would be AND MORE. I'm ready to go back ANYTIME. I've told several people about it and showed them the pictures we took, so I'm sure they will be giving you a call to book thier own trips soon.

  • We recently stayed at your wonderful villa with our best friends and had one of the best trips of our lives. The house, pool, and beach were beautiful. Teresa and Cecil were two of the nicest people we could have hoped for. They were there for our every need or wish. We had fun doing the excursions and doing nothing at all at the villa but relaxing. Thanks for letting us experience this wonderful place.
