Located in the historical beachfront residential complex of Bahia de Arena!

“Villa Bonita – Luxury, Privacy, and the Ultimate Kitesurfing Location.” This beautiful villa is less than a one minute walk to the beach through our private development entrance. Only a few houses back from the beach! The vibrant town of Cabarete is a 5 minute walk along the beach.

“My children and I fell in love with Casa Bonita! The house had a great layout and the courtyard with the pool was really nice. The location was perfect!” (From a recent guest)

“There is nothing like having your own private house and pool for your tropical island vacation. There are few private houses on Cabarete Bay and Villa Bonita is one of the nicest! It is a wonderful house with a great vibe -- it is very special! It is open and spacious and beautifully bright. The birds, flowers and trees are plentiful. Perhaps you will be here when the banana trees are ripe and you can get the organic bananas right off the tree! You will feel an incredible sense of peace and freedom here”
(From a recent guest)

Villa Bonita is a beautiful 3 bedroom house situated in the best residential development, right on Cabarete Bay! It is available by the week or monthly. It has its own private pool and an indoor luxurious three person indoor (heated) jacuzzi. Casa Bonita is in Bahia De Arena, the most desirable gated beachfront community on Cabarete Bay with 24-hour security. There aren't many houses steps away from the real Cabarete Beach on the north shore of the Dominican Republic but Villa Bonita is one of them! This is the ultimate location in all of Cabarete. We have our own private green area for relaxing and blowing up your kites which overlooks the beach and ocean!
We have a private Roof-Top Deck with an Ocean and Mountain View! It is the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday or an active one. Our beach and trade winds make the perfect launch spot for kite surfing, winging, sup, or windsurfing. You can sunbathe on the beach or sit up above under the palm trees overlooking the ocean on our neighborhood's private green space. We are in between Kite Beach and the town of Cabarete! We are also a short ten-minute drive from the surf spot of Encuentro beach. Cabarete is only 20 minutes away from the Puerto Plata International Airport. Our home is in a lovely beachfront community, which has 16 Caribbean-style houses in an extremely picturesque setting. It is a gated community with 24-hour security. You can hear the ocean waves from the house, which is only steps from the beautiful, golden-sand beach of Cabarete Bay with palm trees for shade if you wish, if not there is plenty of sun!
The village of Cabarete is spread out across the center of a gorgeous, semi-circular beach. We a very short walk away from beautiful restaurants and bars which are scattered along the beach of Cabarete Bay .The distance to Cabarete's main section is close enough for convenience but just the right distance away for enjoying the tranquility that Bahia de Arena offers. You may have heard a lot about the Dominican Republic lately in the New York Times, CNN and many other nationally syndicated publications, it is being touted as the next undiscovered hotspot. Well, I can tell you that it is being discovered but it is still very affordable and not crowded.

Casa Bonita is a beautifully designed 1,800 sq. ft. private villa offering the perfect blend of comfort and style. Tastefully furnished with premium décor, it features spacious indoor and outdoor dining areas, a large open-concept living room and kitchen with 25-ft vaulted ceilings, and sweeping views of a lush tropical garden and private swimming pool.

    We were welcomed warmly and found our host to be very responsive and accommodating. The house had everything we could ever need. It’s a short walk to the best restaurants or to the grocery store (who also deliver). The pool was perfect, the beach amazing and just a 1 minute walk away. I highly recommend staying in this gorgeous home! We would definitely book with Joe again!

    This house was perfect for my husband and me and a couple of our friends. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious, there were a couple of desks and work spaces, and the pool and sitting area in the back yard and upper deck were delightful. The shower was a bit dicey because the hot water was not always reliable, but other than that, it was a great place -- quiet, peaceful, tranquil, lots of lush greenery. The location near the beach (a two-minute walk) was fantastic and very safe. And the owners were easy to reach and extremely accommodating. Highly recommend.

    The home had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay and was kept very clean with frequent housekeeping visits. Joe was a very kind and attentive host. This is an excellent option for those looking for an alternative to a condo or resort.

    This home was amazing and just 2 doors down from the beach! The house looked even better than the pictures. The host was super responsive and Maria the cleaner took great care of us. We would not hesitate to return. One tip if your staying is to bring your own beach chairs if you can. Otherwise this place had everything you need.

    Our host was very accommodating, responded quickly and checked in with us. The Villa was exactly as described and very close to the beach and a short walk to grocery store and restaurants. We had a lovely housekeeper who was very discreet and kept the Villa immaculate! Our host left detailed instructions and lots of information on community and town. We enjoyed our stay very much and loved the beach and community. We also felt very safe in this gated community with 24 hour security.

    Thank you for giving me such a wonderful experience during my visit Joe. I wouldn't have this most exciting experience had it not been for your consideration and generosity. The whole purpose of my trip was to get away from my busy life and completely relax and thats exactly what I got. The villa is big and very clean, and theres a swimming pool which I used every day, plus a very short walk to the lovely beach. Joe was very helpful and quick on responding to my messages. I was a solo traveler and felt completely safe on this property because of the 24/7 security the gated community has. Once again, thank you for being such an amazing host! My experience at your place was fantastic and I am looking forward to coming back. Regards, Susan

    We had a fantastic vacation at Joe’s villa, only few steps from the beach. The location is PERFECT (no other word to describe it). Our son (a surf bum) is begging to come back. Maria, the maid, is very discrete and efficient. (A plus in our opinion). Numerous very good restaurants are just a short walk on the beach. No need to take the car! Moreover, the owners are very nice people who answer within minutes any question you may have. We are very greatful that we had the chance to rent this villa. Lucie and François PS: the one star rating is nonsense.

    We have been coming to Cabarete for over 12 years. We always rent a house in one of the small gated communities. It is a safe and well maintained area, the house we usually stay in wasn't available this time so we tried this listing through VRBO. The house was completely unacceptable it only had one shower that barely had hot water the second bath that was listed had a ridiculous hot tub although there was no way to use it due to extreme low water pressure. Also the house did not have a decent light to read by at night, the outside pool area had no place to lounge, the outside back lighting stayed on for only five minutes before it automatically shut off. There was no place to hang a wet bathing suit or towel, essential for a beach listing. Also the house includes a housekeeper who comes daily ,she is very nice but it is very unnerving to have her around everyday mopping and wiping furniture when your trying to relax. Part of renting a house is to have a sense of privacy . The owner is very responsible, good at communication, he answer your response timely, but he is completely inflexible about extended check out . We asked for a 30 minute extension understanding he had new guests arriving and were told that that would not be possible. In conclusion, I would say ,great location, but the house needs TLC and a better understanding of what guest needs are on a beach vacation.
