I’m a repeat guest happy to report another great experience at Michaels property. Looking forward to coming back.

This was my third (short) stay and I'll for sure be back, hopefully for longer next time. Michael is a great host and answers any questions very quickly. The property is clean and well maintained. There is a quick access to the beach and there are many amenities close by.

Just returned from spending 18 days at Los Balcones! Trip of a lifetime for sure. Michael made this trip perfect from the time of booking. He arranged for the property manager Raphael to pick us up at the airport. $20 US for the ride. The pictures do not do this location justice. The sound of the ocean was so relaxing. Michael was always available for any of our questions. Condo was spotless and had all amenities you could ever need. Manny the gardener and all security guards made us feel like family. Downtown and grocery store were a 5 min walk. A quick walk down the beach was The Waterfront Restaurant and The Alicia Grill, both awesome eating spots. For our fellow Canadians you need to check out Jolly Rogers as its a bar/pub owned by a Canadian with great food. Also the Checkpoint is owned by a Canadian. Sosua Beach also a 5 min walk is an awesome location for snorkeling and immersing yourself in local culture. Also ask someone about visiting Wilsons on the Ocean lol. We highly recommend this rental from Michael if you are looking for an A1 vacation from start to finish. We will 100% be visiting this location again, but will def be a much longer stay next time. Thank you Michael for a truly amazing vacation. Lisa & Mike From New Brunswick, Canada

We had a great stay! Very clean and welcoming and the view was superb. The beach is only down a staircase from the property. There is a pool on the grounds as well as greenspace. The condo is very lovely and had everything we could need. Checking in was a breeze and Michael was a great host, he answered any questions we had very quickly. The property is in a great location, close to the beach and any amenities. There were lots of restaurant options near by and the grocery store was only a short walk. We only stayed a night but we'd love to stay longer next time. I'd definitely recommend this spot for vacationing, it was quiet and private but everything you want is close by. Thanks!

Thanks for another great stay.

Condo was exactly as described. Michael was easy to deal with and answered in a timely manner. Would highly recommend. Perfect for what we needed, in a perfect location, close to everything.

The view was incredible. Is a very quiet and relaxing place. If that's what you're looking for that's exactly what you're getting. Beach is a 2 minute walk and all restaurants and supermarket can also be reached on foot. To bad we were there raining season and did not get to go to the beach.

Just returned from another amazing week at Los Balcones. This was our 3rd time staying at Michael’s condo. I call it “a little piece of paradise “!!! The condo is super clean and has everything you need. The pool is magnificent! The staff is very friendly and do a fantastic job. The view is spectacular!! You can walk everywhere. Michael is awesome to deal with. We look forward to returning to Los Balcones!

Perfect location with easy walking access to everything. Excellent AC. Excellent Internet. Excellent security.

Great location, stunning views and all the comfort of home. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended

We thoroughly enjoyed our 11 days at Michaels Los Balcones condo. (C1). It was really hot when we visited so we used air conditioning on and off but most of the time we just opened up the balcony doors and windows throughout the condo and found it just fine. That's what we went down there for....the heat! There is everything you need there...you may want to stop at the Playero (grocery store) to pick up toilet paper, laundry soap and a few staples like milk and bread, butter, coffee and wine! Michael can arrange for Jesus (lovely man) to pick you up at the airport and stop at the Playero on the way to the condo. Don’t get sugar! Lots there. There is a two cup coffee maker there (6 shaken tablespoons - strong but good) and the coffee Santo Domingo Is delish. The wifi password is on the back of the router which is beside the t.v. Very, very small print so be prepared with the glasses ! The bed was very comfortable and linens and towels were all freshly laundered and ready for use. The pool is the best. We spent a lot of time on the deck in the shade and often took our wine (in plastic glasses) down there to watch the sun set. This is a very quiet location. No parties or loud guests. The beach is ....no kidding...perfect. We are beach people and this had almost everything. We rented 2 lounges and an umbrella from Toro on the beach who started at $10.00 but we settled on $7.00 for the day. We heard other people paid less and some more so whatever works for you. Remember you’re there for that beautiful crystal clear water and soft sand....not to get yourself in a knot over a chair. The sand is UNBELIEVABLY HOT so you might want to wear runners instead of sandals. No kidding. The waves were pretty high and rough a few days of our stay but then on other days there was hardly a wave. The Waterfront Restaurant that over looks Playa Alicia had the best chateaubriand for two we've ever eaten! Alicia Grill had the least expensive breakfast $7.00 total for pancakes, bacon, eggs, coffee and water. Ask them to put mango in your pancakes! Michael kindly provided a small cooler you can take to the beach with you and we left two ice packs. The town of sosua is quite busy with cars, vans, scooters, motorcycles and ....yep...”Ladies of the Night”. The restaurants and grocery store are all within walking distance but it was suggested to us not to stay out too late after the sun had gone down. We felt safe but always had our eyes open. Hope you love it!

Property is well maintained, right on the beach with a beutiful view. Spacious and comfortably furnished. Only gripe is its only cleaned before you get there and after you leave.

We've stayed here before and loved it again this time as much as last time.

We hade a nice stay for 10 days. You have all you need in the apartment. The pool area was nice with the fantastic view over the playa and the sunset. Very peaceful and safe area. The shower could be better.

Everything in walking distance- had all you need-great freezer-staff the best- incredible views-would come back for sure

I can't review the specific condo as the unit was double booked. But, the owner, Michael, took it upon himself to make sure we were looked after and got us booked into a larger unit within the same complex. Greatly appreciated, awesome service. The complex is nothing short of fantastic. Completely safe with a 24 hour guard just in case something comes up. The guard was very friendly and helpful. The grounds were spotless. The pool was cleaned every day. But, if we have to provide any 'bad' comments it would be that all pools and hottubs in DR are cold, regardless of the hot weather all the time?! But the cold pool was very refreshing from the hot weather. Every condo in the complex has a view of the ocean. From the pool, you are overlooking the ocean and the beach which is a very short walk away. Spectacular views of the waves crashing the cliffs and beach. It is a very short walk of about 5 minutes to all the local restaurants and or grocery store. Also about a 5 minute walk to Sosua Beach. Downtown Sosua is crazy. Many many locals trying to please the tourist; selling fruit, moto conche rides (jump on the back of a motorcycle to go wherever you need), restaurant deals etc etc etc. And then of course there is the 'pick up' scene in downtown Sosua where it appears that you can get whatever else you might need. Lol. When we were out walking, we compared this property to others. I would suggest that there are none, in this price range, that compare. Specifically, stay away from Casa Maria all inclusive resort. There are thousands of guests here with limited resources to serve them and management there just don't understand how to treat the customer. Staff try but management cut out their legs every time. Overall, this property is awesome. When we come back to Sosua, we will book here again.

It was fantastic

Everything was great.

Very nice views of the Atlantic and Playa Alicia. Convenient beach access via private gate and path. The clean pools are just back from a cliff's edge where the ocean splashes the rock walls below. Loved stargazing poolside and listening to the waves. Restaurants and Playa Sosúa are just a short walk.

I did not need much of anything.. 3-4 minutes walk to Main Strip and Restaurants.. Definitely a Good Value at $60 a Night... Gated and Security Present.. What a Ocean View.. Breathtaking... Wi-Fi is Good.. Next time I'm in town, will definitely Book this Apartment...

Our 4th summer visit to Michael's clean comfortable safe reasonable Los balconies unit in Sosua DR. AND we will return in 2 weeks to close our 25day stay on the island.The cliff views are spectacular the water is crystal clear, the beach is uncrowded, the location is convenient to stores restaurants shops and kind honest people. The on site staff, from owner's agent, to security guards, to gardeners, to pool man, and yes, even other homeowners .... all seem to be there to help assure you have a pampered stay that is unforgettable. We will return next year for an even longer stay.

My visit to Los Balcones was for one week. The property is very secluded and secure but everything you need is within walking distance. Alicia Beach is 20 -30 feet from your balcony. This is the most breathtaking view of pool, beach, and ocean. The condo is very large and spacious I will stay at this property when I return.

Great and safe property. Clean and close to everything.

You have to see it for yourself! Nothing has changed since my previous written review. The beach is very close, you can hear the waves hit the coastline. The beach almost seems private, it wasn't overcrowded. This location is off the grid but close to everything. The customer service provided by Nenad was exceptional. I will definitely make this my first choice when looking for a rental property.
