Welcome to Gnarnia! Relax in luxury in the quiet gated beachside community of Bahia Arena. Stroll down to private ocean access with a cup of coffee in the morning to check the wind and waves, dip into your own private pool to cool off in the afternoon sun, and walk along the Cabarete Bay beach in the evenings to dozens of restaurants and renowned nightlife.

Beautiful light and breezy 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home with well equipped kitchen, bedroom air conditioning units, ceiling fans throughout, high speed internet, a private pool, and access to the best beach-side community space in Cabarete Bay.

Guests will have full access to the home, kitchen, pool, laundry, and neighborhood community spaces including shaded grassy beachside lounge area and bocce ball court. Adjacent tennis/ pickle ball courts are accessible via reservation with Nanny Estates pro shop.

The house manager is the owner of the property who lives in the neighborhood during part of the year. So not only does he have local knowledge, he can help with any issues you may encounter during your stay. The president of the neighborhood Homeowners Association, Albe, is the Spanish and English speaking local contact for any needs that arise during your stay. Gardener, Carlos, will briefly be on site most weekdays to attend to the pool and garden, and our house keeper, Yakayra is scheduled for a couple hours every M, W, F to clean and change sheets and towels.

The neighborhood of Bahia Arena is one of two developments for single family houses on Cabarete Bay (the other is Olas de Oro). It’s a quiet, gated neighborhood mostly occupied by home owners. Bahia has the best private beach area on the bay, an elevated shaded grassy area overlooking the beach. It’s the perfect spot to lounge in the hammock hung in the trees, or rig kites before a session. The community has a kite shop in front of the gated entrance, as well as a wonderful coffee shop that serves out-of-this-world breakfast burritos. Bahia is located directly mid-bay, so it’s not in the wind shadow of the east bay, but away from the craziness of all the beginners at kite beach to the west. Its a 12-15 min walk along the beach to all the bars, restaurants and night life of Cabarete. That makes it far enough from the pumping music of the beachside parties for a peaceful nights rest, but close enough to get there when you’re ready to experience it.

The home has a dedicated parking spot directly in front of the property. That said, the proximity of the house to downtown Cabarete (12-15 mins walking, 1mile/ 2km) and all it’s beachfront dining, nightlife and amenities really make this a walking friendly location. Motoconchos (almost any Domincan on a motorbike) can be waved down on the street for 100 pesos ($2 USD), and there are several excellent taxi services that we would be happy to help arrange.

The house is equipped with a pack and play crib for children, a well stocked kitchen with a wide selection of cookware and utensils, chefs knives, a blender, a microwave, a toaster oven, and a drip coffee maker. Additionally home has high speed internet, excellent hot water and water pressure (not always a given in DR), and a smart TV for all your streaming needs.
Only one car allowed in the designated parking spot in front of the home. Street parking in Bahia Arena neighborhood is strictly prohibited. Additional parking available by the guard house in front of the development. Inquire with the gate attendant when you arrive if needed.

    First, the good: the house was spacious and in a charming neighborhood close for driving to activities we wanted to do. But unfortunately, it missed the mark when it came to: *Cleanliness: We arrived to find hair all over the bathroom floor, along with black scraps, dirt, & a dead roach that appeared to have been there for some time. The bedsheets had stains, & some dishes in the cabinets still had food stuck on them. *Lack of basic supplies and broken furnishings: The conditioner bottle in the bathroom was empty, the kitchen sponge was heavily used & needed replacing, and there were only 4 bath towels even though we reserved for a family of 6. There were no paper towels anywhere, & the only garbage bag provided was the one already in the trash can. Several outdoor chairs were broken. Indoors, the sofa upholstery felt sticky and sank really low. *Lack of communication: We did not hear from the host after booking or before our trip. We had to reach out ourselves for access info the day before check-in. While we received a prompt response with smart lock instructions, we got no response when we followed up about the cleanliness issues & asked how to obtain additional towels, either during or after our stay. We do not enjoy leaving negative feedback, but we booked based on the sole exceptional review. Our stay was far from that description, & we felt it would be unfair to future guests not to share our honest experience. We hope the host addresses these issues going forward.

    This is a beautiful, well-maintained property—bright, airy, and perfect for a relaxing holiday. The hosts were responsive and attentive, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The kitchen was well-stocked, there were plenty of linens, and even some games for entertainment. The location is convenient and close to all amenities. A truly wonderful place to unwind. Thank you for sharing your villa with us!
