We stayed for a week to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. We had 5 adults, 2 seniors, 2 teens and 2 under ten. It was perfect. House was gorgeous. The outdoor living area and kitchen were spectacular and the bedrooms were perfect. Pool was cleaned every day and beach is right in front of the house. Great snorkeling, swimming and kayaking. Excellent restaurants in town are a short walk or drive away. We cannot say enough about this house or the Las Terrenas area. It is beautiful and the people are so kind and welcoming. The staff at the home cooked immaculate meals and kept the home clean and in order. So much to do in the area! I would return and stay here in a heartbeat!

We were looking for a getaway for lots of family (12 adults and 4 children, including a toddler), considering lots of spots in the Caribbean. I’m so glad we settled on Las Terrenas and Erik’s beautiful house! Everything was as presented on the site (and better), and Erik is amazingly helpful, putting us in touch with Frank Bat and Optima tours for transfers and excursions (excellent), making sure we had cooks for the week and that they were aware of one member of the party with Celiac (fantastic), and checking in with us from time to time. Four other staff members kept up the grounds, kept an eye on things at night, and cleaned. Erik answered many questions along the way and was always very responsive. Las Terrenas itself is beautiful, with plenty to do right around the property (pool, beach, snorkel, shop, bars/restaurants). The only caution I’d offer is that Las Terrenas is a popular spot, and the area around the property is very active. Even though it was technically low season during our stay, Friday/Saturday saw more folks on the beach and late night revelers (until 2-3am). Still, far calmer, less crowded, and a much friendlier environment than our experiences in Punta Cana and La Romana. Highly recommend Las Terrenas if you’re coming to the Dominican Republic! Many thanks to Erik for his hospitality!

Erik made the whole process easy; good info and quick responses on our communication. The property was beautiful and the staff was superb. We chose to eat at the house with wonderful meals prepared by Blanca and Jahaira. Though we were lucky to have a couple of Spanish speakers in our group; without them it would have been difficult for us

We had an excellent stay in this villa. We were 4 families and 17 pax and the villa is really wide enough for such a big group. Very nice location with direct access to the beach, a bit aside from the village center so calmer, very helpful and discrete staff with excellent cook !, and very supportive and reactive landlord whom you can easily contact would you need any piece of advice or help to organize your stay.

We came here with family for vacation and had an absolutely incredible time. The property is stunning and has such unique architecture. Most of the living area is open air and has gorgeous views of the beach that is right across the house. All the rooms are spacious. The support staff (led by Blanca) were very lovely and helped us with anything we needed. We had them cook meals for us for some of our stay and every meal was delicious and fresh. The location of the house is great. Many beach restaurants/bars within walking distance. Beach that is across from the house is calm with clear water and great snorkeling. We were sad to leave and would love to come here again sometime. We will treasure our memories from here forever and highly recommend this beautiful spot.

Overall everything was great. Some of the bathrooms drains from the shower would get clogged causing small flood. House is beautiful and the staff was amazing. As for the staff I would say being more alert of what we are running low in terms of juice, water, ice. We all enjoy the house very clean and beautiful. I will recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you for your services and your great communication.

Erik, Thank you for sharing your incredible home with us! What an amazing property and Service! Blanca was an absolute dream- and her food was incredible! We can't wait to return and continue making memories there!

We visited Las Terrenes with a group of 12 friends. The property and beach were clean an ideal for groups. On the beach you can snorkel and even spear fish were we caught Octopus for dinner. The staff was excellent and always there for anything including making guacamole for an afternoon snack to picking up charcoal for an evening BBQ. We also highly recommend renting ATV's to explore the town and area beaches. We look forward to a return trip!

Can’t wait to go back to Villa Losmaninos. Great location, beautiful property and great host. The check in process was a breeze. Blanca and Giselle, the staff, are amazing. Blanca cooks delicious meals and the attention to details was spectacular. We’ll definitely go back!

We just came back. The place even better in person than in pictures. The beach was beautiful. The owner/manager was very professional and detail oriented. Blanca and Gisell(staff) were the best. They cooked for us and the food was delicious. Also the service was beyond great..they waited on us hand and feet..A+.

We recently enjoyed a one week stay at Villa Lomaninos, and it could not have been more perfect! There were 7 couples, celebrating our 50th birthdays, and this property seemed to be exactly what we were looking for. We were not sure what to expect with an "open-air" style home, but it could not have been any more comfortable. The pool, outdoor dining / entertainment area, and grounds were perfect for celebrating each evening after enjoying the beautiful beach. As wonderful as the property was, the staff may have been the biggest surprise. After a long day of travel, we asked that dinner be prepared, along with our Sunday meals. Blanca and Amada greeted us upon our arrival and were the best chefs and hosts that we could have dreamed of; we fell in love with them almost instantly! After lunch on Sunday, all of us agreed that we would have them prepare all of our meals, with the exception of two evenings out. The food, presentation, and beverages exceeded anything you might find at the finest restaurants! The beach just in front of the house was gorgeous, with crystal clear waters, almost no waves, and shaded palm trees to rest under. Several afternoons, we wandered just a short distance down the beach to a few beachfront bar / restaurants, and enjoyed some mojitos, daiquiris, pina coladas, and El Presidentes! At no time did we ever feel unsafe, and we enjoyed meeting many other travelers and some locals! Each day, the cleaning staff, including Giselle (who sang beautifully while she cleaned) and Juanda (with her infectious smile / dimple), kept the home spotless and were a joy to interact with. 24 hour security provided by Quenold and Tony gave us peace of mind, although nothing we saw gave us the impression that there would be any security issues. Finally, I cannot write a complete review without thanking Erik and Fieke! Certainly, sharing this beautiful home with us is a gift in and of itself, but the level of hospitality and care that they showed us from the initial booking through the end our stay was second to none. Erik arranged for our transportation to and from the airport, and that car service provided great service to us throughout our stay (thank you, Willie!). Erik checked in with us several times during our stay to make sure we were satisfied and to check if we needed anything. Despite being thousands of miles away, in Europe, Erik and Fieke took care of us just as if they were next door. We will DEFINITELY return!!!

We stayed at Erik and Fieke's property for a week with 6 other couples last November. The house is truly unique there is not a window anywhere, not even a front door. You basically walk up right from the beach, past the pool, up 5 steps and you land in wide open huge ceiling living room. Not even the bedrooms have glass windows, just shutters with fly screens and ceiling fans, but no worries, this system worked really well for our stay. The beach is quiet, the little road that runs between the beach and the house has very light traffic, and the guards and staff are there 24 hours in case you need anything. We were truly spoiled by Margarita and Blanca, they cleaned and cooked every day. There are many great food options in Las Terrenas, but we mostly ate at the house since every meal was just fantastic. The cost for this is hardly anything, and totally worth it. We started every day with breakfast with eggs, baguette, croissants, bacon, and freshly squeezed juices and frappes, omelets, you get the idea. We would then give Blanca cash to buy groceries, which she turned into delicious meals. Erik and Fieke welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a thorough walkthrough of the house. They are very proud of what they built, and they should be, it's a real gem. It's really open air, which is amazing, but you can turn on the AC in the rooms if needed. We hardly used it, I only mention it since you have to pay extra for it (our fee was maybe $15 for the whole week). Tours are easy to organize from there, and the town is a 10-minute walk on the beach away.

The villa is perfect for a group or family vacation, with enough room to accommodate 16 guests comfortably. This villa is located on the coast (only need to cross the road) of Playa Las Ballenas, one of the best beaches in Las Terrenas. The house is well equiped with everithing you may need during your stay and a great staff that will help you with anything. I will definitely stay in this villa again.

This villa is everything you can want for a group vacation and more. I rented the villa with 14 of my friends and every single thing we needed was taken care of. The house itself is amazing. The rooms are huge with beautiful bathrooms attached to each. The common areas are great, both inside and out. The beach is right across the street and gorgeous. But as amazing as the house what really made it over the top spectacular is the staff at the house. The guards were very helpful and watchful, and made took care of everything from our luggage to the beach chairs. The cooks were amazing, they tackled everything from italian to mexican to dominican food and frozen drinks made with fresh fruit and meal after meal they impressed 15 annoying as all hell new york food snobs.And finally Erik, the owner, is extremely responsive throughout the planning process, helping make a weekend that could've been a logistical nightmare a breeze. I'm already dreaming about the return and looking for an excuse.

My husband and I took our family of 6 children including a 7 month old baby on vacation this past week. We had the most amazing vacation in Las Terrenas. The house was extremely clean and well appointed for a large family traveling. We had a few guests join us and each bedroom was truly like having their own private master suite. The house also had cribs, high chairs, snorkel gear, and sand toys which were a great surprise and made traveling from the US much easiser as it was one less thing to have to bring along on vacation. The open kitchen/living room, outdoor entertaining areas, and large grassy yard backing up to the beach were also definitely perks of this home. Traveling with a large family, we opted to have Blanca cook for us and was definitely worth it!! The meals were absolutely amazing and it was so nice to not have to run to the grocery store or clean up/wash dishes while on vacation. Everyday we had fresh food, towels, rooms cleaned . . . I can go on and on about the great service! Erik really provided a top-notch property and would love to go back. This vacation was truly a memorable and unbelievable experience for our family. Thanks again!!!

My wife and I went here with a group of friends and family right after getting married and had the most wonderful time. The villa has plenty of room so our party of 15 people could split up and do different activities depending on everyone's mood. Each day we were treated to amazing views from our bedroom of a picturesque beach, a beautifully manicured lawn and a private pool. But there were honestly so many common areas to hang out in that no one spent any time in their rooms. No need to plan beach trips as all you have to do is walk across the small road to find your friends at the beach. Tired of the ocean and hot sun? Retreat back to the pool or take in the scene from the sofa perch overlooking the front yard from under the thatched roof. Plenty of bar and restaurant options within a 5-10 minute walk, and countless more if you go a little further (20 minutes) to the main beachfront of the Las Terrenas town. Friendly staff there to help whenever you need them, we couldn't recommend this place more highly! Book now and enjoy your stay!

We went to Villa Lomaninos for a week to celebrate our son's first birthday and a family getaway for both sides of our family, which included 9 adults and three children. The property was amazing, the beach across the small road was beautiful and perfect for what we were looking for. It was an incredibly relaxing experience and we could not have asked for a more perfect week away from home. The best parts of the home had to be Margarita and Blanca, the housekeepers and chef. The food was amazing, we ate at home most of our meals, and probably could have just had them cook for us the entire stay. The pool was gorgeous. Because they had just had a lot of rain from the storm, we did encounter a lot of mosquitoes since the living area is all open air, which mostly was a problem for only a couple of us adults but unfortunately the baby got a lot of bites. That being said, everything else was quite wonderful. The beds were a little firm for some of us, but again, the rooms were quite comfortable for the most part. The location could not be beat and it really seems to be the most beautiful home in the area. Our fathers went for a long walk every morning, and overall everyone had something to do. The wifi signal was weak in a couple of the bedrooms but again, these are all minor issues. We took a trip to Los Haitieses National Park and visited Cato Levantado, which was a nice day away. We also enjoyed our last beach day at Playa Punta Popy which was incredible. Erik and his wife were very helpful, very accommodating, answered all our questions before we arrived, and were very friendly throughout the stay. Looking back at it, that week was truly a dream, we could not have asked for a better home to stay in.
