Affordable Luxury at 6 BR Fully Staffed Caribbean Vacation Villa

Are you looking for an affordable Caribbean vacation? A relaxing family friendly holiday in your own comfortable private home with a private pool, attentive maid, housekeeping, chef and houseman services? Perhaps a place that offers the ability to totally relax and unwind well as having opportunities for adventure and excitement? This dream vacation does exist and can be found Villa Vista del Mar. This will become your family home to enjoy during your visit.

This spacious family-style, child-friendly vacation villa has 6 bedrooms and 7.5 baths. Interior rooms are large, inviting and comfortably furnished for guests of all ages. Elderly guests can relax in a first floor master bedroom and still be close to the action. Young parents will find all the needed baby equipment and will be thrilled to find full time babysitters/ mothers’ helpers available for very reasonable prices.

Numerous covered and semi-covered terraces and balconies allow guests to be indoors or outdoors regardless of the weather. A massive 3400 square-foot side-walled terrace provides privacy from neighboring homes. There are abundant seating options including chaises, rockers, conversation tables, hammocks and an ever-popular cushioned sun bed. A special metal security gate separates the pool and allows a measure of assurance for the parents of young ones. And if this is not enough, an expansive lawn around the home has plenty of open space for Croquet, Ladder-ball, Bocce, Horseshoes, Tetherball, Frisbee tournaments and more. Even the largest groups will find the room to spread out.

A short 5-minute walk takes you to Cofresi beach, a sandy cove that stretches just under a mile. A reef protecting the beach provides a surf that is gentle, ideal for swimming or body surfing. There are no worries about rip tides, undertow, strong currents or large fish. Palm and Sea Grape trees line the beach providing plenty of shade from the strong tropical sun.

You may find it difficult to pull yourself away from floating in the pool while sipping a pina-colada--one that is refreshed all too frequently by the maid. And you’ll enjoy alone time taking a nap or reading a book in one of several hammocks. Or you can chill out, de-stress on the upper terrace listening to the ocean as the masseuse takes over. There are so many ways to unwind.

But, if you prefer a more active vacation there are plenty of tours and adventures including golf, casinos and a go-kart park. Visit Ocean World where you can swim with dolphins, sharks and sea lions; or try your luck at Ocean World Casino where you can dine in a 5 star restaurant and watch Las Vegas style shows... all just a 10 minute walk from our beach home. Explore historic Puerto Plata, 4 miles away. Or venture off on Jeep Safaris, Catamaran Trips, White Water Rafting, Scuba Diving, Snorkeling and much more. A local Cofresi tour operator comes directly to the villa to describe all options and provide booking services.

Sample the menus at dozens of local restaurants…. You will fine everything from Dominican specialties such as langostino, conch and chivo or the usual favorites such as Filet Mignon, Chicken and Pork dishes and kid friendly hamburgers, tacos and pizza. There are countless adventures, activities and places for you to discover.

While at the villa you will be pampered by dedicated long-term staff. Mercy is our cheerful, attentive full time maid who will cook and serve all meals, snacks and drinks. Don’t even try to get your own coffee! She keeps up a steady supply of beverages and whisks away all dirty dishes. She keeps the villa tidy and tends to your laundry. All you do is RELAX. Additional maids are brought in when there are larger groups to ensure all guests- moms included- enjoy a truly carefree vacation. In fact many females cry upon leaving because they cannot take Mercy home.

Julio is our personable, friendly full-time personal houseman who keeps the gardens, pool, and home in pristine condition. He owns a large van to provide personal airport meeting service for our guests. Plus, he can be engaged to stock the kitchen with food and beverages so that icy cold beverages and tasty appetizers are ready to be served the momen you enter your vacation home. Julio is your go-to man for anything and everything. His ready smile and cheerful disposition will make you feel completely at ease. He has been known to entertain young children by catching small frogs, or picking mangoes and limes from trees in the yard, demonstrating how to open and drink directly from a coconut. Toddlers have enjoyed “helping” uncle Julio with his daily duties.

And 'just in case' we have a full time manager available 24 hours a day to address your needs. If you need anything, the staff is there to help.

The Dominicans have a well-deserved reputation for friendliness and hospitality; they go out of their way to make you feel welcome in their country. It doesn't matter if you don't speak Spanish. Many Dominicans now speak and understand a good deal of English, especially in the tourist areas. But you will also find that a smile or kind gesture will open many doors. For over 35 years, our guests have enjoyed the opportunity of interacting with locals and to experience the colorful culture of this country.

If you have an adventurous heart and want a vacation that is slightly off the beaten path come to Villa Vista del Mar. Break away from the crowded confines of an all-inclusive resort… feel the freedom. Be prepared to relax while the staff takes over with the mundane chores. Wake up to freshly brewed coffee served to you on the terrace, and at night lay your head to rest on the pillow with a calm mind and a happy heart. Listen to the sounds of the ocean. Enjoy the moment. Life cannot get any better.

This villa and staff are 10/10 !!!

Our group of 12 (ages 3-60) stayed in this villa for a family vacation and it had everything we needed and more!! The villa is beautiful, clean, comfortable, the pool is amazing, there’s a beautiful grass yard, and it is a very short walk to the local beach. It is also a very short drive to Puerto Plata. While the property itself was amazing it was the staff that made our vacation extra special. They really treated everyone in our group like family and went above and beyond, taking care of every little thing so that we could spend more time together making memories. From start to finish the communication and responsiveness was 10/10, which made us all feel so safe and welcome. Truly I could not dream up a better group of people to trust with your family’s vacation. We highly recommend planning any excursions through Gus - he was so accomodating and the tours he suggested were enjoyed by all. If you’re considering booking - do it now!! We hope to return someday!

Wonderful house, pool, and staff

We had a group of nine ranging from 9 years to being in our 50s. Everyone absolutely had a marvelous time. The house, pool, and services provided were top notch. Julio, Mercy, and Ingrid made us really feel at home. The cooking and pina coladas served in the pool really spoiled us. Such an amazing vacation!

Family Vacation

Our family of 10 ranging from 14-76 stayed at the Villa in June. The house, pool and staff were amazing. The meals made for us were always delicious. My only complaint, which is not any fault of the Villa, is the beach access. It is a public beach and was not very clean the few days we went down there. Since we had our own private pool, we still had a lot of water fun. The whole vacation was a relaxing and nice getaway from real life.

Family Vacation

Julio Maci and Ingrid were the BEST!!! Our family of 10 spent the week in August. Unfortunately we caught a virus on our way over. However, Julio made extra trips for medicine and Maci and Ingrid altered the menu to accommodate all of our needs. The only reason we gave it a 4 star - the was the location - the beach was not usable and we were not able to go out at night. They did provide a security guard for safety.

Wonderful getaway!

3 couples wanted to celebrate our 25th & 26th anniversaries somewhere special so we picked vista del mar because there was a maid, chef and groundskeeper in a beautiful large home. The staff was wonderful and accommodating. The pool is inviting and beautiful. While not right on the beach it’s a short 5 minutes walk to one. Our 10 day vacation will always be full of special memories!

This place & stay exceeded all of our expectations! We came with our extended family, from grandparents to siblings to kids & infant, and it was perfect for us all. The staff were incredible & kind - they made the stay! The beach was beautiful and provided ample fun for the kids. The days were filled with swimming in the beach & pool, reading in hammocks and pool side, great meals al fresco, with pina coladas (virgins for the kids!) served just right. We booked massages right at the house for ultimate relaxation. From booking to ensuring easy airport pick up and drop off and meal planning, the hosts were incredible at communicating & responsiveness. Definitely will look to book again.

Just a perfect place to relax

This is such a wonderful place to stay. The pictures really don't do it justice. Julio and Mercy took great care of us, Cindy the owner was super accessible, and everything was just perfect. The bed was comfortable, all of the outdoor furniture was great. The indoor furniture looked great, but we really only went inside to sleep for the whole week. If you want a relaxing vacation, do yourself a favor and book this gem.

The house was even better than we imagined. Everything worked out perfectly from Julio picking us up at the airport. Mercy and Ingrid keep the house immaculate and looked after us to the tiniest detail. The beds were very comfortable and the food was delicious, as were the Pina Coladas served by Ingrid around the pool. Communication with the owners proved to be very easy. Our 2 year old granddaughter had a wonderful time. Five minute walk to the beach. Definitely recommend this villa and we will hopefully return.

Wonderful experience

The property pictures are slightly outdated for the surrounding area. They have some new builds next door. The property was very clean and the views were absolutely PERFECT. The house is gorgeous with a lot of room for big groups. The best part of this home is the staff. They make you feel like family. Very friendly and helpful we think about them often. Mercy and her daughter made some delicious meals and kept my kids with frozen special drinks by the pool. The house always smelled so clean and fresh. Julio had pool toys ready and kept the pool cleaned. He also took us on a tour of the city and it was very enducational and made it very fun for us and our children. We took the golf cart to the local beach and ocean world. The community is very friendly overall such a great experience

Amazing home and food....

First off, what made the entire2 weeks were Mercy, Ingrid, and Julio. They took care of us as if we were their own family. We already miss them terribly. My only complaint is the air conditioning. There is only air conditioning in the bedrooms and it was very hot. Due to this, we missed a place to all gather, play games and watch a movie. The common areas were very hot. Besides this, we loved every second.

Spectacular DR vacation

Our recent stay at Del Vista Mar in the Dominican Republic/Puerto Plata was an unforgettable experience, all thanks to the exceptional hospitality and generosity of Mercy, Julio, Ingrid, and Pio. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel like part of their family. Mercy and Ingrid’s attention to detail and genuine care for us as guests were evident throughout our stay. Mercy’s cooking is outstanding, and Ingrid made sure we were well attended to. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to go above and beyond ensured that our vacation was both relaxing and enjoyable. Julio was equally amazing, providing us with invaluable guidance and making sure we had everything we needed to make the most of our time in this beautiful destination. We went to bed every night knowing we were safe on Pio’s watch. Everyone at Del Vista Mar truly went out of their way to make our stay special. Whether it was recommending local attractions, organizing activities, or simply sharing stories and laughter, they made every moment memorable. Their warmth and generosity created a welcoming atmosphere that we will always cherish. The villa with spectacular views, was great with more than enough room for 8 adults and 1 child & close to everything that you're looking for in a DR vacation. This is a vacation we'll never forget!

Wonderful stay!

My family of 17 stayed here for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. The villa is spotless! The pictures don't do the inside of the home justice. The outside area is amazing for a large family. Besides the pool and outside area, the next best feature was the staff. They prepared amazing meals for us and were very flexible with our schedule of activities. Plus it wasn't even very expensive for them to feed all of us for the whole week! Having others do all of the cooking, cleaning and laundry took away any stress out of our vacation! Would definitely recommend this place. The only downside is the beach is a 5-10 downhill/uphill walk away, which was difficult for my parents to handle and the beach was good, but not great. Also, the taxis charge so much to get around, that I would recommend renting a car if you think you can handle the crazy Dominican traffic!

pre-spring break getaway

We were hoping to travel before spring break somewhere quiet and safe. Cindy was extremely responsive and helpful in making this a perfect vacation. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating and eager to please and the most friendly group to spend a quiet week together. We hardly knew they were there but were so quick to make smoothies and treats and accommodate every request. The house is simply gorgeous and spotless. The AC works very well and the pool and deck are just the most relaxing place to get away. The little town is simple and safe. The beach is small (which is why I gave 4 stars) however the upside of this is you really have a quiet and remote vacation without resort crowds. We went into nearby towns for meals and excursions which our teenagers really enjoyed. Could not ask for a more perfect vacation and the kids are already clamoring to go back. Thank you so much to the staff for making such an enjoyable vacation and to Cindy and John for hosting us in their gorgeous estate.

The Perfect Escape

Casa Del Mar was fabulous from the moment we booked with Cindy and John to the moment that Julio dropped us off at the airport at the end of our stay. We could not have asked for anything more. As a family of 13 with multiple generations, the house and the hospitality made everyone happy, and comfortable and not one single complaint was made from anyone all week!!! The villa itself is perfection - clean with a wonderful layout. Julio, Mercy and their wonderful family went above and beyond to accommodate all our wants and needs and even got me a birthday cake!! The walk to the beach is short but there is a hill and bumpy so it is not very stroller or elderly-conducive. We were able to borrow the golf cart however to take the oldest generation down and back up. I will also note that on Easter Sunday the beach is full of locals so if you are looking for quiet, just keep that in mind. Every other day, it was like a private beach. We booked a few excursions, all of which were good, but I'll be honest, next time, we will spend more time at the villa. This was a true gem that offers a serene haven away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our family will definitely be back!

Relaxing, Pampered stay at beautiful property!

This property was lovely...even better than the pictures. The pool area is gorgeous with sun and shade opportunities for all during the day and the pool is a perfect temperature! Mercy, Ingrid and Julio took care of all of our needs (and those Pina Colada's were next level good!). The view and location a little ways up the hill from the beach was perfect to feel a little separated from the main road but still close. Cofresi beach is a nice little area and the two restaurants we dined at were good...it was just a bit quiet at this time of year...we were one of 2 occupied tables both times. The beach is good for walking along...we are not beach people so didn't venture in the water...especially not with our perfect pool available. We had massage service come to the villa on 2 days (only $30 per massage and excellent!) and ventured out to the waterfall tour one day which was really affordable for all that you get...I would highly recommend. These activities were all seamlessly arranged by Gus on day one. My sister and I also played 3 rounds at the little nine hole golf course nearby which was a perfectly chill time. I am the one in charge of making the arrangements for this family vacation so I have to give a shout out to the villa owners who jumped through hoops to accommodate some last minute changes to our group size and even managed to get a refund for the fewer people. They were so responsive. Thanks for everything!

Amazing property and staff

Our family of 17 stayed at Vista Del Mar to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The home is as beautiful as the photos with plenty of room for us to be around the pool, on the porch and in the house. The bedrooms and bathrooms were plenty for our family and the upstairs master bedrooms had beautiful balconies. The staff of Mercy, Julio and their daughters were wonderful. They made us feel pampered with delicious meals served, keeping the house perfect and helping in whatever way we asked. Julio ran errands, and helped us arrange transportation. Gus came and helped us plan outings and Gabino made sure we were oriented to the home and they all made us feel so welcome. We planned a few outings, snorkeling, the waterfall trip and the city tour, all of which were so fun. Julio helped 4 of our guys arrange a golf outing and provided the transportation. When we thought it would be fun to have some meringue dance lessons, Gabino arranged that for us, too. Some of our group requested massages and that also was easily arranged right at the house. The beach is a 5 minute walk - a good place for swimming and jumping in the waves, but nor so much for lying on the sand - quite commercial. But that didn't matter as we had such a beautiful place to enjoy water and the sunshine. We highly recommend Vista del Mar. Cindy and John were so available for questions prior to our trip and we are grateful to them for sharing their beautiful home with others. Outstanding, all around.

Second Time- Just as Good

Dear Cindy, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my stay in your beautiful home—again, my second visit. I don’t know where to start. Everything about both trips (August, 2008 with 8 friends and October 2009 with just my boyfriend) was perfect. I loved relaxing poolside with the gorgeous views. The staff is always so friendly and helpful-- It was nice to be greeted at the airport by Julio, and then have him do all the food shopping. He even got us langostinos one night from the fresh fish market. And every meal that Nelsida prepared for us was absolutely delicious... Her signature pina coladas continue to be great! Your house is so clean and comfortable and I felt right at home. By the way, the new additions on the terrace; (the new sun lounger/bed, expanded terrace and bathroom) are great. I can’t wait to see the new master bath and outdoor kitchen on my next trip. Your villa makes me feel like it’s my own home away from home. Although I would have been content to just stay at the villa all the time, I also enjoyed the beautiful beaches in Cofresi and Costamber, going to the casino at Ocean World and eating at many fantastic restaurants. Your location has so much to offer! We had an exciting time on our day trip to go white water rafting and really loved exploring the reefs on our snorkel trip. I have never come home from a vacation feeling so relaxed, and I really look forward to visiting again. Thank you so much for sharing your vacation home with me. Sincerely, Lindsey

Although we constantly debate over which is the better place in the States (NJ shore or Cape Cod), one thing we both agree on is that Playa Cofresi, Dominican Republic is always the most relaxing and most unique place to vacation. Whether we are looking for quiet time floating in the pool or dozing in the hammock; or getting involved in a competitive lawn games, looking to snorkel at local beaches, or want to venture off on exciting adventures in the countryside there are always plenty of options. Of course having an attentive maid serving non-stop drinks and food is a big plus!

Our 3 adult children ( plus grandchildren) have grown up at Cofresi and think of it as their 2nd home. They certainly benefited from the fun aspects-- the enjoyment of staff catering to their every need...but they also had the opportunity to live a different culture. They have learned to understand that there are many different ways to enjoy life despite economic status, and this education has been priceless.

In 2006, Donald Smith (Cindy's father) passed away and the property & rental management transferred to Cindy. In memory of Don's passion for his beloved Cofresi home, for his devotion to his Dominican family, and for his love of this colorful country we will continue to cultivate his dream. We hope you will stay at our beautiful family home so that you can share our enthusiasm for this wonderful vacation destination.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

Villa Vista del Mar at Playa Cofresi has been our family's second home since 1982. We first traveled to this secluded unspoiled area back in the days when there were few tourists, supermarkets did not exist in town, horse-drawn carts were a common sight, and cows wandered about on our dirt roads.

This all began when Lenore and Donald Smith, Cindy's parents, went on a business trip to the Dominican Republic in 1981 and visited the North Coast where they were told they would find some of the Caribbean's prettiest beaches. They became enchanted with Playa Cofresi and on the 'spur of the moment' decided to buy property.

The original house was built in 1982 when there were just a handful of homes in this pastoral ocean-side community. When they retired in 1995, they spent more time in Cofesi made major additions and improvements to the villa to provide more spacious accommodations for their extended family.

The property continues to grow and change with the needs of our family and guests.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

If you are looking for a relaxing, comfortable and affordable vacation... maybe something slightly off the beaten path you have come to right place. Villa Vista del Mar was built for comfort, fun and safety; and with expansive yards on all sides you will not feel the intrusion of neighboring homes.

We have been in the hospitality business for over 30 years and have tried to think of everything to make your vacation run as smoothly and as carefree as possible. Our experienced extensive full time staff will pamper you to no end, but will also retreat to their quarters to allow you to have privacy. The maids will attend to all cooking, serving, cleaning and laundry starting in the morning with made-to-order breakfast and freshly squeezed orange juice. Throughout the day they will 'twist your arm' asking you if you'd like another pina colada while you are floating in the pool. Your most difficult decisions will be to decide what to eat and when to eat... The pampering does not end until they leave for the day... Or until your vacation ends

Our full time houseman is available for airport transfer service, to run errands, to go food shopping and more. We have a manager available 24/ 7 for those “just in case” scenarios, and a local tour operator who will come to the house to help you with the multitude of activities, tours and adventures. You will be well taken care of by the many people who have become our 2nd family. There is a detailed Villa Orientation Book, Suggested Meal Planning Guide, Local Restaurant recommendations, Descriptions of Tours & Activities and more.

When you arrive at the villa all you have to do is unpack and relax. Slow down. Go with the flow. Listen to the waves and songbirds. Admire the panoramic ocean and mountain views. Life is different, more relaxed. You will become quickly acclimated to the phrase 'no problema'. Hopefully you will enjoy every moment at your own private Caribbean home away from home.
