About this property

We are ON the ocean, just 5 minutes from Las Galeras, Samana

We can include a personal tour guide and concierge who can show you the area beaches of Fronton, Madama, Rincon, La Playita, Cayo Levantado, the El Limon waterfalls and other area attractions. He can also make sure you find the supermarkets, banks and restaurants. Since he has worked at the Cove for nearly 20 years, he knows the area well. All my apartments are at the Cove, a small group of beach front, ocean view apartments, just 200 feet from the ocean.
This modern apartment serves as your home base from which you can explore the peninsula. Arrange deep sea diving and sport fishing excursions with The Dive Academy. You can snorkel at some of the most beautiful beaches, including Playa Rincon, Playa Las Galeras, El Valle, and Playa Fronton. Seasoned scuba divers can explore shipwrecks from throughout the centuries.

Come see the humpback whales breach out of the water, from January to March, each year, when they come to mate and have their offspring!!!

In between you and the ocean is the pool, with a swim up bar. Grill local fish on the charcoal barbeque, or stay inside and cook in the full kitchen. It features a view of Samana bay, and a private beach, only a few steps away.

Since I own two other apartments, I can accommodate groups of up to 12 people.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick Reilley

Host profile image
As I financial planner residing in Pennsylvania, I get tired of the long dreary winters. When touring the Dominican Republic, I fell in love with the Samana peninsula. We try to visit a few times per year, and we enjoy sharing the beauty of the island with other vacationers when we are not there.

Why they chose this property

I loved the area so much, I bought three apartments. They are 316323, 816267 and 816268.

What makes this property unique

Here you have the privacy and tranquility of a small beach, but if you drive a few miles, you can enjoy some of the larger beaches like Rincon or El Valle. All of the beaches here at the tip of the Samana peninsula are mostly undeveloped. You can enjoy a true Dominican meal at one of the rustic outdoor restaurants or bring your own cooler with some food and cold Dominican rum and Coke!
