About this property
Luxury 5BR Villa. Steps to Top Beach. 5 min walk to 20+Restaurants. Chef Option
✦ WELCOME TO BAVARO ✦
If you've heard of "Punta Cana," what you've actually heard of is BAVARO — the beach town home to Secrets, Now Larimar, Paradisus, Barceló, and Melia, and to a beach TripAdvisor ranks #7 in the world.
Punta Cana is the airport. Bavaro is where you actually want to be.
Our villa sits in Los Corales, the heart of Bavaro. A short walk to the beach. Walking distance to 20+ restaurants, two grocery stores, a bakery, two pharmacies, ATMs, a spa, and two gyms. NO CAR NEEDED.
✦ THE VILLA — 3,000 SQ FT, SLEEPS 10 ✦
Originally a 3-bedroom home, expanded in 2021 to 5 bedrooms, 5 ensuite marble bathrooms, and a powder room under the staircase. We also added the Sky Deck — a rooftop platform perched above the palm trees with views of the Caribbean Sea on one side and the tropical mountains on the other.
✦ 5 ENSUITE BEDROOMS ACROSS TWO FLOORS ✦
★ 3 bedrooms on the main level, each with a private marble ensuite bath ★ 2 suites upstairs — one with a Juliet balcony ★ Each bedroom: smart TV, ceiling fan, A/C, and large closets with original Caribbean Mahogany built-ins ★ Three of the king beds split into singles on request
✦ BATHROOMS: 5 MARBLE ENSUITE + 1 POWDER ROOM ✦
All 5 ensuite bathrooms were renovated with full floor-to-ceiling marble and oversized walk-in showers. No two are alike. The half-bath under the stairs is practical and convenient — not fancy, but useful.
✦ WHAT SETS THIS VILLA APART IN BAVARO ✦
★ FULL WINDOW SCREENS throughout. Most rentals here don't have them. Open the windows, let the Caribbean breeze in, and skip the A/C bill if you choose. ★ DEDICATED 100 MBPS WIFI on a private Orbi system — yours alone, never shared with the building. Ideal for remote work. ★ FULL AIR CONDITIONING in every room ★ DISHWASHER — uncommon in Punta Cana rentals ★ FULL-SIZE WASHER AND DRYER on the second floor ★ ORIGINAL CARIBBEAN MAHOGANY throughout — wardrobes, doors, trim. This wood is now protected and cannot be replicated in modern construction. Heirloom craftsmanship.
✦ THREE OUTDOOR DECKS ✦
★ MAIN DECK (14 × 28 ft): U-shaped sofa, dining table for 8, ceiling fans, ocean breeze. Coffee in the morning, drinks at dusk. ★ ROOFTOP DECK: Custom mahogany bar under a Cana thatched roof, lounge chairs, card table, gas grill, and the laundry center in a glass closet. ★ SKY DECK: Perched above everything. Four rocking chairs that captivate guests for hours, lounge chairs, an outdoor living-room set with waterproof cushions. Watch parasailers in the Caribbean by day, fireworks across Bavaro at night.
✦ THE KITCHEN ✦
Renovated with white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, breakfast bar, full appliance suite, and the rare-in-Bavaro dishwasher.
★ CHEF RAFAEL — daily meals or one special dinner. He's a local favorite. ★ DRIVER SERVICE — airport transfers (one trip or multiple, however your group arrives), private excursions, anywhere you need to go. ★ DAILY MAID SERVICE — available on request.
GREGORY, our villa manager, speaks English, Spanish, and a few other languages. He's been with the villa for years and gives every guest a tour at check-in.
✦ THE NEIGHBORHOOD ✦
★ BEACH: Bavaro Beach, ranked #7 in the world by TripAdvisor. Private community access with lounge chairs and palapas. ★ RESTAURANTS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE: Soles, Pelican, Huracán, Tocs, Onno's, Captain Cook, Beach Party, Jellyfish, Langosta Roja, and 10+ more ★ PLAZA EL DORADO AND PLAZA TURQUESA (5 min walk): grocery stores, bakery, gym, pharmacy, ATM ★ WEDDING RESORTS within 15 min walk: Now Larimar, Secrets, Paradisus Bavaro, Melia Tropical, Barceló Bavaro ★ PUNTA CANA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: 20–25 minutes by car

About the host
Hosted by Pat Fahy
I split my time between two coasts.
From spring through fall, I live on a golf course community near Indian River Bay on the Delaware coast. From late fall through winter, I migrate back to our villa in Bavaro Beach, where I spend about 35% of the year.
I'm a Real Estate Broker by trade — owner of Pat Fahy and Associates in Philadelphia, and one of the first female Broker-Owners in the state of Pennsylvania. My daughter Lori, also a licensed Broker (PA Broker of Record, Bally Gwynedd Realty), co-hosts the villa with me.
We've owned this villa for over a decade and have been hosting guests here for 11 years.
✦ HOW WE RUN THE VILLA ✦
I manage the property personally with the help of an experienced local team:
★ GREGORY — our Villa Manager for several years. Speaks English, Spanish, and a few other languages. Greets every guest at check-in. ★ LOCAL TECHNICAL AND REPAIR STAFF — quick response for anything that comes up ★ DRIVING TEAM — airport transfers, excursions, anywhere you need to go ★ CHEF RAFAEL — available daily or for one special dinner ★ DEDICATED CLEANING TEAM
Lori and I are both reachable 24/7 throughout your stay — by message, WhatsApp, or through Gregory on-site.
✦ WHY THIS VILLA STANDS OUT ✦
I've stayed in many other apartments and rentals around Bavaro over the years. The difference between those places and our private beach community villa is real — and it's why I keep coming back to this one. Full window screens. Dedicated WiFi. Original Caribbean Mahogany throughout. Five marble bathrooms. Three outdoor decks. A 24-hour gated community three minutes on foot from one of the world's best beaches.
I come to the villa every fall to inspect the property thoroughly and plan the next round of improvements. We're always upgrading.
My goal is simple: make sure your vacation meets — and exceeds — what you imagined.
Welcome to Bavaro. — Pat
Why they chose this property
For 20 years, I searched over 30 islands in the Caribbean looking for the perfect vacation home.
I found it in 2012, in Los Corales. Within 10 days of first seeing the house, I owned it. I fell in love with the weather — warm and unwavering, year after year. Miles of white sand beaches. A luxury community with a private beach, easygoing beach bars, and a BYOB welcome culture. This is where the expats gather in the winter, and a real village has grown up around us.
Inside the gates: incredibly quiet and safe. Outside the gates: more restaurants than I can visit in two months, plus pharmacies, bakeries, gelato to die for, the best popsicles I've ever eaten, and live entertainment on and off the beach. It didn't hurt that there were over 30 nearby golf courses to choose from.
✦ MY IDEAL DAY HERE ✦
A round of golf in the morning. A snack and a cocktail at the Villa Blanca Beach Bar, followed by an afternoon under a Cana palapa on the private beach. In the evening, dinner at one of the great inexpensive restaurants nearby, usually with friends — and after dinner, live music. Dancing under the stars never gets old.
Of course, none of it would be the same without my partner Bill.
✦ A ONE-OF-A-KIND PLACE ✦
You honestly can't beat the combination — this location, this beach, this community, this house. That's why I bought it.
I hope you love it as much as I do. And if you read the guest reviews, I think it'll be clear that you will.

What makes this property unique
✦ WHAT MAKES THIS VILLA UNIQUE ✦
Five ensuite bedrooms — every bedroom with its own private marble bath. The ideal way to travel for couples who value privacy and space. Three large furnished balconies, plus a TV-room / 5th bedroom with two double beds for an extra couple or a few kids.
✦ THE BEACH ✦
Los Corales is one of the very few gated, safe, quiet luxury communities directly on Bavaro Beach. Our private section of the beach is attended by McKensie, our wonderful beach attendant — he'll have your lounge chair ready under a palapa for shade.
BYOB is welcome. So are the beach bars, which will bring whatever you want to your lounger. Villa Blanca Beach Club is my favorite. Cabanas are free with a drink purchase, and Sunday afternoon entertainment is excellent.
✦ THE NEIGHBORHOOD ✦
Within the Los Corales gates, there are 2 restaurants. Four more sit on the beach right in front of the community, and 20+ more are a short walk just outside the gates.
The food is delicious and surprisingly inexpensive — most platters under $12. Nightly entertainment runs the gamut: live musicians, different vibes, beach parties, and dancing. Even people who never dance often dance under the stars of Los Corales. This is a very fun place.
✦ THE HOSPITALITY BOOK ✦
I summarize everything in my 50-page hospitality book so you can plan your vacation and relax upon arrival. Inside:
★ Restaurants — including menus ★ Excursions worth doing ★ The community and the house ★ Tipping customs and currency exchange ★ Transportation, if you want to wander beyond Los Corales
It unlocks automatically the moment you book.
✦ HOW I HOST ✦
I'm proud to be a PREMIER PARTNER of VRBO. As your host, I prioritize your group's fantastic vacation over everything. It's not just a spacious 5-suite villa in a prime luxury community — I focus on your questions, details, and extras: maid service, chef, driver, and masseuse.
Just ask. I'd love to help you have the vacation of a lifetime.
