About this property
A Few Steps From The Gorgeous Beach Of Punta Rucia!
Exclusive Villa with private pool a few steps from the beach!
Please checkout our other house, Villa Mango, listing # 3612132.
This graceful Caribbean property combines elegance and simplicity: this is the perfect escape to a tropical paradise just for you. It’s a must visit, with its precious beach, abundant colorful coral reefs minutes away for snorkeling and with Blue Island's 45 foot catamaran only a 20 minute ride away from the famous Cayo Paraiso, ranked by CNN Travel in May 2013 ¨The 34th most beautiful beach in the world¨.
Villa Gabi is a great getaway, with its private gated property, exclusive coral sand & crystal water beach a few steps away, 3 bedrooms each with air-conditioning, 2 full bathrooms with water heater, 50”LED TV in living area and 32” TV in main room, cable TV service, wireless internet, private pool, large brick BBQ (Charcoil NOT PROVIDED) , hammock, open terrace and wooden deck, interactive fully equipped kitchen (NO DISHWASHER), washing machine and dryer.
Please checkout on Instagram and Facebook our brand new Beach Club, just next door to Villa Mango @ Blue Island Punta Rucia.
Nearby, you can enjoy the culinary art of exquisite French Restaurants as well as typical Dominican food. A few feet away, you have “Paradise Island” a tour operator that offers excursions to tourists visiting Cayo Paraiso. Both Blue Island and Paradise Island offers breakfast, lunch and dinner (dinner on demand) that can be served directly at Villa Gabi's table as if we were part of the restaurants: they also serve drinks to the public. Also at only a 5 minute walk, you can enjoy Lino's Pizza, an authentic Italian that makes an incredible pizza.
The perfect Dominican spot with one of the country’s least percentile of precipitation (it almost doesn't rain), a great condition to guaranty a wonderful outdoor vacation.
Personnel included: Our maid is available for daily cleaning and our gardener sleeps on the premises in a hut outside to assure your safety and comfort.
Punta Rucia is located at 60 km from Puerto Plata city.
Our driver is always available for airport pick up and drop-off from Puerto Plata or Santiago’s International Airport for a maximum of 4 guests + luggages in our SUV and in our Chevrolet Express van we offer services for up to 8 plus luggages.
The use of Blue Island's catamaran is available at an extra cost, including an experienced captain and all the necessary equipment.

About the host
Hosted by Carl-Philippe Mangones

We've been married for 9 years and have a wonderful baby girl of 8 years of age. We love the water and enjoy our weekends on our boat!
Why they chose this property
This was love at first site! We first bought our boat in 2012 and in 2013 we bought our first house on the beach (Villa Mango).
A year later, we found this great opportunity to buy our second house. We jumped on the occasion and remodeled it by today's standards, this was certainly the second best real estate decision we have taken in our 9 years of marriage.
This is truly a unique paradise far from the big crowd!

What makes this property unique
Beach House right on the bay, with protection from the Atlantic big waves. This is the perfect spot for the family and small kids to enjoy the tranquility of calm waters. Punta Rucia is still a quiet and secret touristic site away from the big crowd. This is a small town where everyone knows each other by name and live in harmony. This is truly the perfect spot to disconnect and have true relaxing vacations.
