The pool and ocean and right out your door a few steps away! We utilized the pool everyday and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets in the evenings.
The food Chef Ariel and his wife Elida created was amazing, they made us feel like family. In addition to breakfast, we had Ribs, Italian, and Seafood they are the highlight of the house.
Daily housekeeping is a nice amenity. They made the beds, kept the rooms clean, and provided fresh towels by the pool daily. The Wi-Fi was solid.
Communication with Jason was excellent. We booked a fishing excursion and Airport transfers and would certainly utilize those services again! Jason walked us throughout the house and explained the electricity fees. We were given examples AC continuously ($110/day) vice judiciously ($25), we only ran them at night and the cost seemed to fall above the range given at $70/day. We did have an AC that was broken, Jason’s team fixed it in one day!
The car service is expensive ~$50 to the store/shops that are less than 5 miles away. We ended up utilizing Uber/Taxi’s and that cost ~$5 USD each way.
The location is not suited for walking to attractions. We walked to Sosua Ocean Village ~20 minutes, and we took a taxi back.
We booked the fishing trip with Jason, and excursions directly with tour providers. They picked us up and we were happy with both our arrangements.
We do wish there were beach chairs.
Overall, Mara Serena was a nice family vacation and one we won’t soon forget.

Luis was on point about what to expect. He let us know what to do about utility usage. Luis answered and responded to whenever we had a question

We had a fantastic time at the villa! Everything was wonderful, the staff feel like family and the food Chef Ariel made was INCREDIBLE! I wish we hired him for all the meals with maybe one outing, he was that good. Jason was so hospitable and readily available for all my questions. He also took time to set up reservations for us to keep things easy. We would absolutely do this trip again!!!

We had a fantastic vacation at this property. You may think you are just renting a house, but you are actually renting your own private resort. We opted to hire Ariel, the private chef, and we are so glad we did. Ariel prepared breakfast and dinner for us each day and the meals were unbelievable. We chose the theme, like Italian or Seafood, and he did the rest. It is very clear that Jason, the owner, has a background in hospitality, because he took care of every detail, including transportation to and from the airport, transportation to town, and he had the house stocked with the food and drinks we requested when we arrived. The check-in process was simple and very professional. The view from this property is amazing. Sitting by the pool you have the perfect vantage point to watch the waves and cruise ships pass by. Most of the bedrooms have incredible views of the ocean as well. The pool was perfectly clear, and just the right temperature. The beds were comfortable, as was all the furniture around the pool and on the patio. We were very pleasantly surprised to have daily housekeeping. They made the beds, kept the rooms clean, and made sure that we had fresh linens, including the towels by the pool. The staff was very friendly, but we never felt that the intruded on our vacation. This is a great place for a vacation and we are anxious to return.

The house is exactly as advertised, paradise! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a piece of paradise. Chef Ariel and his wife are an absolute must, the food is beyond amazing and their attention to detail is unparalleled.

Jason the host cares about his guests and it shows from the moment we arrived. He greeted us and gave us a tour, and introduced us to his amazing staff. Ariel the chef prepared the best food I have ever had. I cannot say enough great things about Ariel, not only amazing food but so friendly and a great human being. The entire staff made the entire stay pleasurable. I highly recommend adding meals to your stay. We also went to Wilsons which was also an experience worth checking out. We would love to go back. Thank you Jason and staff for making our family vacation a wonderful trip of a lifetime!

Had a wonderful week with our family of 10.
The property was perfect for all of us and although the local restaurants were great, having Ariel and his cooking staff was the highlight of the visit. The food was superb, Jason was a very responsive host no matter how often we contacted him with questions and the taxi service was very welcome- don't try to drive- they are crazy!
They even have Pickleball courts at the tennis center around the corner.
Cannot really think of a downside except that time passed too quickly!! Would recommend without reservation!

Gorgeous home right on beach with huge private pool and plenty of space. Perfect for a family vacation.

We had a great time - the house is as described and everyone (ages 13-75) loved the vacation. As all other reviews state, the staff is incredible and will do anything to accommodate all requests. Ariel and his wife are the sweetest- they went out of their way to celebrate my moms birthday while we were there. She felt very special!!
The beach right outside the gate was enjoyed by all- I do wish there were some beach chairs we could have taken out there but it was still enjoyable!
Would definitely stay here again!!

We thought this place would be too good to be true. When in fact it met and exceeded our expectations! We had 11 adults in our group and each of us had a fantastic room with an en suite. Most rooms have a view of the ocean. The beds were super comfortable. The property cannot be beat. Steps away from the beach with the most incredible surf - The pool was sublime and maintained daily by staff. We enjoyed sitting in all the various lounge areas - and there was always a comfortable place to find shade. The property was so lovely we really never left it! Truly. We had everything we could need and want right there. And as the other reviews have stated, what stood out was the staff and the food! Definitely worth the investment for chef services. The food was sublime. We had breakfast and dinner service and it was perfect! Always enough left overs for lunch the next day. The staff were so loving and kind, we were all hugging by the end of our stay! Our driver Rafael was the kindest and most helpful man and always prompt. You may find it less expensive to hire out your own cab, but the service, ease, response and safety of Rafael and his team is well worth the fee! Driving around in the DR is not for the faint of heart, so have someone that knows what they are doing.
We wish we could have stayed another week. If I could give this experience 10,000 stars I would! Thank you Jason and your amazing staff. We are so grateful!!

We stayed here for 5 days. The owner was extremely helpful. From giving us a comprehensive tour of the property, to helping with shopping and making arrangements for a birthday party, musicians, etc.
If you stay here, definitely opt in for the additional food and drinks staff. Chef Ariel is amazing and makes high quality food to your liking.

Pictures don't do the Villa justice. Location on the water is amazing as well as the rooms, very well appointed, again with amazing views. THE BEST FEATURE? Chef Ariel and his team! Each meal was extraordinary. He is a master of any cuisine you can imagine. Owner/manager was most accommodating and attentive to all our needs and requests. The area has a great variety of sights and activities. You don't really need a vehicle as they have their own taxi service which is most helpful.
Local restaurants? Good but nowhere close to Chef Ariel.

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The location was beautiful, scenic, and very secure. The house is beautiful and the staff was very attentive. The chef was AMAZING!! Some of the best food on the island… I wish I could bring him back to the states! The property owner was great, very accommodating and helpful with last minute restaurant suggestions, directions etc. He definitely knows his way around and has connections with everyone.

Good for group vacations
Good space for groups with onsuite bathrooms, large comfortable beds and awesome onsite staff. Cleaned thoroughly every day.
Some wear and tear but nothing that hindered our ability to use the space.

We loved the house, but the staff is what really made our trip extra special! They went above and beyond to make our family of 13 feel safe, comfortable and well fed! They were friendly, helpful and thoughtful. The chef prepared the meals we requested with fresh foods every day.

Great property and property owner.
The Villa is everything as advertised, beautiful place and location. What separates this VRBO location from others is the owner. He basically became our guide to the island and even spent several hours with us on a wonderful lunch excursion AND he even picked up pizza and delivered to us! Great home, great home owner!!
