This trip was what our family needed. The host was amazing with response, and very accommodating especially for us with all the travel issues we had to get to the Dominican. She was more than understanding and allowed us to stay an extra day, because our flight brought us in a day later than expected. As for the housekeeper/chef- Tita- she is FANTASTIC. I only hope that every place people stay has a Tita somewhere along the way for them. Do yourself a favor- and pay extra for her services. She’s a wonderful chef, a joyful person, and an all around tremendous help. I would stay here again. Only thing I would recommend- (not even a host issue just for guests) make sure you keep the doors closed at night and if you have sensitive skin, change the linens daily. Your feet bring in all kinds of things so to ward off bug bites, just change the linens. Thank you so much for such great memories here.

The good: Location is good. House has a lot of potential. Spacious, many rooms etc. Owner responds promptly. The bad: needs significant upgrades all over. Kitchen, bathrooms, doors and windows are having by a thread. You get dinged for anything that breaks during your stay, and something will given the condition. Beds had bugs. TVs don't really work etc... I question listing accuracy since many things didn't work.

The house is in a great neighborhood. Tita, the housekeeper and cook, was fantastic! If I had a complaint, it would be the rooster was in a pen outside and would crow very, very early in the morning. The rooster definitely woke me up earlier than I wanted to,😂. Also, there was no cable in the house, only a firestick. I was not able to watch the basketball game. I had to go to a sports bar for that. Finally, please turn on the pool filter more as the wind blew debris into the pool constantly. However, I would definitely stay again!

We loved the house and the location, 3 minute walk to a 9 hole golf course and 7 minute walk to lovely beach and restaurants. Kitchen needs a few things ; only had 3 X large pots, no small or medium, no kettle and coffee pot was an expresso style one; no roasting pans or pizza or bar pan; only 1 small pot holder; no measuring cup or measuring spoons or any food storage containers and no dish soap; knife drawer needs to be cleaned out and replaced (rusted knives & can opener). TV did not work. no cable. The bedrooms were beautiful however the closets were locked so there was no place to hang any clothes. The one closet that was open had no clothes hangers. Would recommend home being supplied with a full 5 gallon of drinking water upon arrival. All simple fixes for sure. Swimming pool needed a good cleaning around the edges to remove what looked like algae. We always book with VRBO so that we can prepare a good portion of our meals, and love the privacy of our own space. So this property has great potential and with these minor fixes would be a 5 star, so we rated it 5 star, and wish the owner success in hosting future guests. Deb & Wade
