  It's a nice sized villa, has a private in-ground pool in the back yard, also offers off-street parking, several balconies with panoramic views of neighboring Puerto Plata area, Mount Isabella is in the distance, and you can even see the statue of Monte Cristo on a clear day, This villa also has free daily maid service, which was great for all of us, because we are just so L-A-Z-Y when we are on vacation. The property's manager, Ben, American born, a fellow world traveler, fluent in both English and Spanish, he was great, showed us all around the village of Costamber, Ben knows the best places in the area for money exchange, (Don't get ripped off by money exchanges at your International airport.) knows the best places in the Costambar village/Puerto Plata area for shopping and eating out, even the best places for buying fresh fish. He always addressed all of our concerns about the property, was a great host and made for great conversation.

  We rented the Villa in this Gated Community for 7 days. When we first arrived at the Villa. We were shown through inside and out and were impressed. The Villa is very well built and very private. The Villa Swimming Pool is the biggest, best and cleanest Pool we’ve seen in the 6 years we’ve rented other Villas here in the Dominican Republic. This Country has electric and water problems. But this Villa is completely covered. In that they have their own Kohler 50 KiloWatt Diesel Electric Power Plant in case of any Electrical Outage. They also have their own Fresh Water Well. With a large water tank on the roof of the Villa to cover any Water outage. The Kitchen has a relatively new Gas Stove with a beautiful GE Double Door Refrigerator. The Villa has large high power Ceiling Fans in all rooms. The Villa also has relatively new GE and Frigidaire Split Aire Conditioners. The Villa comes with a daily maintenance man named JORGE. Of whom cleans the Swimming Pool and exterior of the Villa. Along with daily Maid Service, who’s name is MORENA. She cleans the Villa interior daily and launders the Sheets and Towels in the Villa’s new GE Washer and Dryer. Most all of the Villa Cabinets and Villa Furniture are made of Hand Made Solid Mahogany from trees grown here in the Dominican Republic. The Villa is very quiet so as to view and listen to the Villa’s large Wide Screen TV with about 80 Cable TV Channels. The Plants and Trees around the Villa are very beautiful. With many of the Trees covered with beautiful Flowers of all imaginable colorful Flowers. The Villa has one of the best Views in the area. With the view of the 3000 foot mountain with the Statue of Christ at the top. Along with views of the beach and water front with ships coming and going. It’s especially beautiful at night with all of the surrounding City Lights. Since we didn’t rent a car. We were able to walk to the local Store and several Restaurants in about 5 or 10 minutes. If we wanted to go around any further there is a local Taxi Service. You are safe to walk or Jog around this Gated community at all hours of the night and day. As there are Armed Police patrolling the streets 24 hours a day.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  This is our 3rd stay in this lovely Villa, my husband, me and our 2 kids, ages 11 and 13 and our French Poodle. I guess I’m like most women. Where I’m most concerned when I rent with the Kitchen and Bathrooms of a facility. The Kitchen has relatively new appliances with plenty of Pots and Pans. Along with Dishes and Silverware. There is an adjacent Breakfast Nook seating 6. With a Dining Room seating 10. We felt very safe walking around this Gated Community with our Dog and Kids. The Police were very nice and courteous as they patrolled the streets. Our favorite eating spot was an Italian Restaurant about a 10 minute walk from the Villa. Which serve the best Pizza this side of Italy. The Villa has large bedrooms with King Size Beds. Along with adjacent private King Size bathrooms beautifully tiled floor to ceiling. Our Kids had their own Bedroom with Bunk Beds which they thoroughly enjoy sleeping in. Our Kids also especially enjoy swimming in the beautiful big Swimming Pool, where they spend half of their time when we stay in this Villa. We all enjoy the way the living room is set up with a large Wide Screen Television that gets about 80 Cable Channels. The Villa is supplied with it’s own Computer with 24 hour Internet. We are also able to get WI FI to get on the Internet with our Lap Top Computer. The Villa is very well maintained by JORGE, the Maintenance Man. Of whom cleans the swimming pool and surrounding exterior area daily. Along with MORENA the Maid, who cleans the interior of the Villa daily along with laundering the sheets and towels with the Villa’s new GE Washer and Dryer. As they say: A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. The 16 pictures on the VRBO Web Site, pretty well show the Villa as how beautiful it is.

  The Villa is located in a Gated Community called Costambar. With armed guards patrolling the streets 24 hours a day. We didn't have a car. So we walked to local restaurants and market in about 5 to 10 minutes from the Villa. The Villa has nearly all new appliances such as Stove and GE Double Door frig. The relatively new GE Aire Conditions worked great. We had electric full time. The Villa has a Kohler 50 Kilowatt diesel electric plant in case of any electrical outage. Plenty of water with hot water as well. All rooms in the Villa have high powered ceiling fans. The Maintenance Man: JORGE cleans the Swimming pool and exterior of the Villa daily. With the Maid: MORENA, cleans the Villa, makes beds and launders the sheets and towels on their new GE Washer and Dryer. We were impressed by the beautiful dining room solid mahogany table seating 10 persons. The Villa Bedrooms are large with King Size Beds. The attached large tiled Bathrooms are something to behold. The Villa is private in a quiet area about a city block from other residences. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda having drinks. And viewing the 3000 foot mountain jutting up out of the water front at the front of the Villa. As we've been here in the Dominican Republic before and stayed in other Villas. But this Villa is one of the nicest we've stayed in. in the past. The Villa is well maintained along with the Villa Swimming Pool is one of the largest prettiest pools we've seen in the area.
