About this property
Privacy, Tranquility & The Wonderful Playa Ballenas Beach Scene is Steps Away!
Villa Curuba! This beautiful townhouse is located in the quiet and secure residential complex 300 meters from one of the most beautiful beaches of Las Terrenas . . . Playa Ballenas.
(Of note, we started our Curuba listing on VRBO / Homeaway in July 2025. As such, we do not have many reviews here yet, but rest assured . . . we have many, many AWESOME reviews and repeat clients on the other listing platforms).
There are two (2) bedrooms and 1.5 baths between two (2) levels totaling over 1000 sqft. The primary bedroom has a queen bed & balcony. The 2nd bedroom has two (2) double beds.
The living area flows to the kitchen and patio nicely. The outdoor shower is a slice of heaven. The garden is wonderful for morning coffee and taking in all the greenery. There is also a nice propane grill to prepare and enjoy some fresh foods!
Residencia Curuba is private & peaceful with nice gardens and a common pool 20 meters from the house. There is parking inside the complex.
The Space
Curuba is a comfortable home. There are AC units in both bedrooms and on the patio. Too much aire? There are ceiling fans throughout and above the patio as well. The kitchen is basic but nicely appointed with nice cooking and serving pieces. There is a propane grill on the lawn to enjoy your freshly caught fish or whatever you desire!
Guest access
Charlie & Peter serve as you local hosts. They will help get you settled and provide you with the Curuba parking lot gate remote and a door key.
Enjoy a memorable and refreshing Las Terrenas stay at Villa Curuba!

About the host
Hosted by Michael Bidwell
We love Samana! We are love our little slice of slice of heaven off of Playa Ballenas beach.
Why they chose this property
Casa Curuba stikes a very nice balance of proximity to Playa Ballenas with the tranquility afforded at the small Curuba Residence.
What makes this property unique
It is a perfect and pretty rare combination of tranquility but with very good access to the beach scene and town.
