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.

✦ THE LIVING AREA ✦

Open-concept — custom U-shaped sofa, 70" smart TV, granite dining table, and Caribbean wood windows.

✦ OPTIONAL SERVICES (À LA CARTE) ✦

★ 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

✦ WATER SPORTS & EXCURSIONS FROM THE BEACH ✦

Catamaran tours, pirate cruises, sunset cruises, parasailing, jet skis, speed boats, water skiing, windsurfing, ultra-light plane rides, spa cruises. The main pier is at the edge of our beach.

✦ A 50-PAGE HOSPITALITY BOOK ✦

Once you book, you'll receive our 50-page hospitality book — organized with a table of contents and photos. We've done the research so you don't have to. It covers the villa, the pool, the beach, excursions, local customs, tipping, currency, and safety. A separate restaurant guide includes 20+ favorite local spots with unpublished specials.

✦ THINGS TO KNOW ✦

★ Electricity is metered separately and not included in the rental — meter is read at check-in and check-out, billed at departure or deducted from deposit. Approximately $30–50/day with moderate A/C use. Open the windows, use the screens, save the bill.
★ Three of the five king beds split into singles on request.
★ The community is fully walkable. No car required.

✦ ABOUT THE OWNERS ✦

We're an Owner-Broker family — Pat (Real Estate Broker, Pat Fahy and Associates, Philadelphia — one of the first women to graduate from Villanova business school and one of the first female Broker-Owners in the state of Pennsylvania) and Lori (PA Broker of Record, Bally Gwynedd Realty).

Villa Poseidon was perfect for our large family of grown children. There was plenty of space in the 5 large bedrooms/bathrooms to retreat and have our own space as well as large living space to gather for meals and family time. The large deck with a grill was used for several evening meals and the rooftop deck was nice for sunning as well as relaxing after a day at the beach. The beach is about a block away with very easy access. There is a pool just outside the house which was refreshing, partially in the shade most of the day so it didn’t get too hot, you could always find a spot out of the sun if you wanted. There are several restaurants and small grocery stores close by to get groceries which was very handy. Pat does have a welcome booklet that lays out all these details which is very useful. Greg, the manager, is also very helpful. We did not rent a car and they arranged transportation from the airport to the house and back again for us. Pat is an excellent hostess. She truly wants everyone to have the best time and experience possible!! She answered all of my questions prior to traveling to the Dominican. On our final day our flight was cancelled and I thought we might end up sleeping on the beach as many flights were cancelled and hotels were full… but Pat let us stay in the house an additional night until our airline got our flight arrangements sorted out. Absolutely the hostess with the most.

I honestly feel like a good hostess should help their guests have the best vacation possible. Our house has some great ingredients. Great location, very close to the beach, and also tons of wonderful restaurants within easy walking distance. Also, 5 private bedrooms with attached private bathrooms. We have been improving our Villa Poseidon every year since 2012, when we bought it. Completely renovated, the house has plenty of common space and also plenty of private space. I wrote a hospitality booklet to help my guests to better enjoy the vacation by giving them all of the information they need about the beach, the pool, the house, the restaurants, where to find nightly entertainment, and excursions. When this group’s departing flight was cancelled last minute, I felt that it would be a lot easier for their large family to stay an extra night at Villa Poseidon than disrupt their vacation by continuing to search endlessly for hotel rooms for 14 people. My husband and I were supposed to move back into our house that night, but we were able to arrange a hotel room for just the 2 of us. That’s what good hosts do.

Yes. the house is a short walk to the beach. people often come back and forth during the day. The beach has 3 great restaurants with servers who will keep your glasses full or alternatively BYOB is quite OK. There are 2 restaurants within the gates of our community ( los Corales' signature community) plus 20+ restaurants outside the gates. I send a 50 page hospitality document plus a restaurant guide with menues and photos for ambience to reduce your learning curve before your visit and amplify you incredibly fine vacation.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Dec 2021
Oh Julie, I am so sorry that you paid $10 a day. The sun beds are free - although I do recommend giving the beach attendants $1. a day per person becuase especially in the winter months - the beach attendants will make sure they get you a palapa with sun beds - just tell them you are Guests of J2. The hospitality document explains all of thei and even gives you a picture of the beach attendants and myself so they know you are a guest of my house.

This guest did have a couple minor things that were not perfect and if you knew hard this team strives for perfection - you would understand how upset I am that we fell short. I personally text/ email every guest to be sure there isn't anything that needs improvement the morning after arrival, and did not hear about this imperfection until shortly before the group left . The maid had not cleaned the crumbs out from the toaster oven and also did not thoroughly clean the coffee maker. I am 100% sure that problem would have been fixed immediately if I was informed.

I care about my guests vacations. I want everyone to have a really good time. So I am personally involved from the time you book to the time you depart. I work with our Villa manager, cleaning staff , driver team to help every group have the best vacation possible. I needed to help this group because they were arriving from both the Punta Cana airport as well as the Santo Domingo airport which is 3 hours away. Driving in the Dominican Republic can be very dangerous because local drivers especially motor cyclist pass both on the right and on the left even if you are turning. YOU NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN TURNING.

This house was everything we wanted for our family of 6 (3 couples). It was one of several houses in a beautiful community of large spanish style villas.

Thanks for the compliment on our WIFI system. Unlike most places here in Punta Cana - our WIFI is not shared between numerous apartments. It is a Fios system which is dedicated for the exclusive use of the people within our house only. That means you DON'T t have to go outside to use it. . Also it is always available and fast enough for streaming video.

I believe that it is the responsibility of the host/hostess to help the guests to have a wonderful time. Doesn't matter if the guest is my best friend or someone I never met. That's why I wrote the 50 page hospitality booklet.The house, location, beach and amenities certainly help as does the team of property manager, driver, chef, cleaning staff all work together as a team to create this vacation.

Great property in a safe neighborhood

I took hosted a graduation trip for my 18 yr old son and his four best friends. We found the house very much to our liking. Very comfortable beds and very convenient location just a few minutes walk to restaurants and grocery stores. The pool was just outside our door which was really nice to cook off in before and after the beach. We had a couple issues the first day and they were both addressed immediately by Gregory the property manager. We were also recommended a chef for a night by Pat and Gregory and it was truly one of the best meals we have ever had! Will definitely be renting again the next time we travel to PC!

Most relaxing vacation ever!

This was our first trip to Punta Cana. it was wonderful. The beach for this unit was beautiful. D'Angelos pizza as a perfect option for us for many meals. BaliCana was awesome also, I think we ate there 5 times. If you are willing to leave the community, NamNam was a wonderful surprise. The Chicken Boom was the bomb! There is also a very nice bakery close by that had great prices and fast service. Pat was wonderful to work with and the onsite help was great. Arturo, our driver, was very good. We are hoping to return and bring our children.

Beautiful home that exceeded expectations

Pat is an amazing host. Of all the rental properties I’ve ever stayed in, I’ve never had someone so quick and thorough with their responses. We did have one issue though, the dishwasher was not working, BUT, Pat came through like a champ sent someone out (on her dime) twice to clean our dishes. We felt safe the entire time and the gated community was beautiful. I could not recommend this house enough. Thank you Pat :)

I have additional resources that I can connect you with to make this a very special trip: a chef, a villa manager, an excursion office , a private driver - and a hospitality book that ties the whole vacation together and gives you the information about the private beach, the pool, the house itself, restaurants, and excursions – even tipping customs and where to find the ATM. We hired a new cleaning team and are experimenting with additional cleaning packages which will also be available in the soon future. About that dishwasher - We have had to hire a technician that works 3 hours away in Santo Domingo. He arrives Monday – July 22,2022. Dishwashers are extremely rare in the Punta Cana area and none of the big appliance stores here have anyone who can service them. BUT we are looking forward to its repair on Mopnday!

Awesome time condo is in a perfect location with restaurants and shops in walking distance. Beach is beautiful. You'll need to travel outside the neighborhood if your looking for cheaper restaurants and stores. Greg the manager took care of all the small problems that happened when we were there . Ac breaker broke but was fixed in about 2 hours. They have some construction going on and the water was on off the first couple days but it t was resolved quickly. Great place for groups or a couple families.

We maintain a crew that consists of a Villa manager- Greg , a repair staff headed up by Marcos , A cleaning team headed up by Estafany, a driving team headed up by Cesar and an excursion office which is conveniently located 75 yards from the house. We do that so that we can maintain really high standrads for keeping everything well maintained and fixing anything that needs to be fixed asap. I am the owner and I am in touch with every group of guests from the time they make an inquiry to the time they get on their departure airplane. I care deeply about YOUR vacation being wonderful and work with each group to make sure they attain that.

Wonderful retreat, old world charm

This large upper house was wonderful for our 12 day stay. 630 steps from Los Corales Beach, this little enclave is sheltered from noise and activity of bustling plaza and night life just blocks away. It's convenient to grocery stores and dining. The house was clean and well kept. Five bedrooms each with it's own bath was wonderful. Dishwasher and washer and dryer a plus. Pat Faye, the owner, was steps away and very responsive to any questions or needs. She has researched and documented all needs in a hospitality guide. She went above and beyond! This is our third trip to Los Corrales. We would definitely rent here again.

Stay in Los Corales Villa was wonderful!

The property is in a nice gated community, very quiet and beautify kept. Close to a wonderful beach and all the walk to restaurants we ate at were good. The community pool was never packed and a nice alternative to the beach. The house was spacious for the 6 adults in our group. The kitchen could use some updating, but we didn't go there to cook. We followed Pat's recommendation for keeping the house cool and only used the air conditioner a few times keeping our electric bill down. Pat, the owner was very helpful from the time we reserved her house to check out. Yves the driver she recommended was the best. All of the people we interacted with were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again if I come back to the DR.

The Kitchen did need some updating and we already replaced the refrigerator and next we plan on replacing the stove. It is fully functional but not as aethetically pleasing as we would like. Toaster Oven/Convection oven Coffe pot, microwave all work fine. we painted. I am alwys happy to answer questions before during and after your vacation. to me being a host is more than giving you access to a lovely spacious house in a wonderrful location on a great beach. It really is about helping you to plan to have an incredible vacation with your family and friends and create wonderful memories.

About the host

Hosted by Pat Fahy

Host profile image
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.

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 beachfront 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 beachfront 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, who 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 beachfront 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.
