Host and assistants were extremely helpful and responsive. Upon arrival, someone was available to help with out bags, give us a tour, showed us tips and tricks, and even provided coconuts from the trees on the property. Overall, the house is exactly as described - beautiful pool, terrace, etc. There are so many ammenities included - full kitchen with appliances, utensils, and accutraments, pool towels, grill, etc etc. The only issue is the location. On VRBO, the positing makes it seem like the house is on or near Playa Encuentro. It is not. The actual address was not provided until after checkin at 3pm. Its actually located between Playa Encuentro and Cabarete, no where near the beach. Lost a because of deceptive location marketing. The house is, otherwise, amazing.
