My family has owned a home and still own a condo in Costambar . We have rented all over Costambar. The only issue is that you have to make sure that where you are renting has: Electricity, Hot Water and is clean, bug free and has security and not located next to a bar or club. Sea Horse condos has it all and then some. From the day we arrived we were aware of the security and the wall and when we came home from dinner, the security guard stopped and made sure we could find our condo. We had forgotten to leave the light on the front porch, and walked us up there and had his flashlight ready for us. We had it all, a safe in the room, internet, English speaking television, a full kitchen and wonderful breezes. There is even a laundry facility, will be hauling less clothes this year due to that. The pool was wonderful, able to totally cool off and had shade to sit under and read a book. And clean, clean, clean. Tend to walk around barefoot in the condo and usually have to wash feet before getting into bed, not here, the floors were spotless. Bedding was clean and new. Always bring my own pillows due to allergies, but could have left them home here. Had a wonderful relaxing stay with lots of privacy. You can walk anywhere from here or if it's a windy day at the ocean, stay at the pool. And as always the markets and restaurants are right down the hill. Seahorse is convenient to everything. Will be booking again for this year shortly. And have now been recommending Seahorse to all our friends who would love to visit the Dominican Republic.
