The service offered by Nelson, Genesis and Santa was outstanding. The house is much nicer than the pictures and the location is great. The only downside are the mosquitoes.

The house, location, beach and pool allowed our multi-generational family of 13, ages 2-67 to have a fabulous Christmas and New Years vacation together. Nelson, the "butler" was the BEST and responded to every request (with a smile) including the multiple meal times for the young and the old. He went above and beyond; providing a decorated Christmas tree; bringing us dinner on the beach; grilling fish and lobster from the local market on the open fire; lighting bonfires on the beach; guiding us on market purchases; and freely offering local information and advice. We always felt safe and looked after by Nelson. He was a very appreciated and happy part of our stay. The initially immaculate house did suffer over time with insufficient cleaning and unchanged linens - finally we asked. There was a lack of hot water and dry, clean beach towels. The free run of the geese in the yard and the house pets (dogs and cats) plus rain likely lead to excessive mosquitoes and flees which did torment us all and affected where we chose to sit or eat. The online listing could be updated. It indicated there was a SUP (damaged and did not appear), ping pong table (no net), and trampoline (in questionable state). The basket of sand toys for the kids was appreciated and we did add to it including 2 small boogie boards for the surf, which incidentally was fabulous for all ages. The tree house needed repair and was located in swarms of mosquitoes. The 6th bedroom in a separate structure on the non beach side of the house was not appropriate for our young children, and the adults preferred the luxury of the bedrooms and bathrooms in the house. The requested crib did not appear. We did rent a car as suggested and it was well used to get to Las Terrenas. The restaurant El Porto and Mosquito Bar - about 1 km. down the beach were fun to walk to. The beach was truly out of a tropical isle photo book, lined with coconut palms, with almost no development and very swim-able surf. It was spectacular for long walks (to town) and swimming. Local kite surfing provided lots of entertainment. Our meals were prepared for us by Santa and Nelson and there was always an abundance of good food including the local specialty of pork for Christmas. Overall our stay at Casa Paraiso was a fabulous experience. The positive certainly outweighed the negative and our memories are wonderful. Anabella has a beautiful home and we thank her for sharing it with us.

The kitchen is fully furnished and the staff is well trained to attend the most demanding of needs. Our big family of 15 had the most amazing weekend in this beautiful beachfront villa. We had a 5 star hotel experience!!!! I would definetely come back!!!

This is by far the best house and the best location which you can have at Las Terrenas. We have gone to las Terrenas many times and stayed at several properties and at different locations in the area, but Anabella's house is by far the best of all we have seen. There is no better area of beach in all Las Terrenas and Portillo. When you first experience swimming in the ocean and put your feet on the sandy sea bottom behind the house, you know you have arrived in paradise. The property stands close enough to the town and yet apart from other houses, giving you that wonderful feeling of freedom and of being in a paradise all of your own. The house itself is a dream house. Beautifully decorated in a naive, yet very elegantly relaxed way. It is an eclectic decor, tropical and Caribbean, with Polynesian touches which include a portico, carved wood beams and even a stuffed or wooden Komodo dragon by the swimming pool. We went with our whole family, to celebrate my wife's birthday and we had a fabulous time. Our grandchildren enjoyed the swimming pool and the children playground area. It even includes a really superb treehouse! The staff was delightful. The cook, Gladys, made some wonderful dishes. We tried her Dominican breakfast of mangu, fried cheese and fried eggs, it's an experience! Working with Anabella was easy, straightforward and accommodating in a very pleasant way. We will return to this house, hopefully , many times in the future. It is a hidden gem!

I can only brag of my families great fortune to have found this Paradise in a Paradisaical beach ! All my family grandparents, siblings, sons and daughters, son in law, in laws and granddaughter, we ALL had a great and FANTASTIC time. The house is unique , the attention to detail, the decor is beautiful and elegant, yet not to much , the disposition of the rooms is perfect. the combination of the beach and the pool was enjoyed by all , big and small! the activities in the beach , swimming, snorkeling , kite surf (great school near by) , walking is great. The location of the house is ideal, no to close to the neighboring hotels and town of Las Terrenas, but close enough so you can enjoy the activities, stores and restaurants (many close by and great), for the older crowd many restaurants and night life too! The best for last, the owner Anabella is great!! and the staff at the house are INCREDIBLE! (this sole word describes their attention to detail in all the days we where at OUR Paradise in the Dominican Republic). I will be very happy to answer any questions. Thank you to you all from the Polanco´s from Ecuador and the Kline´s from Wisconsin!
