About the host
Hosted by James Watkins

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Bahia Arena for its access to the most dynamic kitesurfing bay and community of water sports enthusiasts in the Caribbean.
The gentle shore break is great for playing in the waves with the kids, the short tack out to a reef with remarkably consistent waves for kiting, and the east side of the bay has an en excellent flat water slick for freestyle riding. The mid-beach location is out of the east side wind shadow to make launching and landing a breeze, which helps set up our location as the ideal spot to start a down-winder to Encuentro beach, the DR's most famous surfing beach.
Couple all of that with a grassy rigging area, neighborhood security, great neighbors, walkability to the wonderful dining scene, and enough distance from town to keep the late night music from disrupting a restful night all make Bahia Arena a very special place.

What makes this property unique
There are very few single family homes in Cabarete Bay. Condos and apartments are everywhere, but a stand along villa in Cabarete Bay with direct beach access, a private pool and the accompanying added privacy for families is much harder to find. We rented several times in Cabarete including in the other neighborhood of houses before purchasing our property, so we set it up to answer all of the things our traveling family of kiteboarders looked for in a rental. That included properly equipping the kitchen for cooking and entertaining adding a big dining room table to gathering around for family meals and games, upgrading the utilities for good hot water and water pressure, high speed internet, a smart TV, a gas stove, and a guest accessible washing machine. It also included replacing the bedroom AC units for reliable night time functionality and adding ceiling fans throughout the home so we could open the house up but still be cool while still enjoying the sound, smell and feel of the fresh sea breezes. The three bedroom setup includes two very comfortable rooms for the adults with a third room we setup specifically for the combined 4 kids to share including a great set of bunk beds. The kid's room doubles as a great dormitory style setup for when we host larger groups of our kiting friends. In addition to the amenities, our support staff are friendly & professional available when needed, but distant enough to provide you with privacy for what adds up to a truly memorable visit.
