Villa Il Mare in Rincon Bay

We loved everything about the house and had a wonderful time .The location is very dramatic with a panoramic view of the bay,The house is large and comfortable with lots of privacy for the whole family.Margarita and Gerardo were terrific…cooking ,cleaning and maintaining the house in every way,It was a memorable vacation.

The views from this house are spectacular! We loved the time we had and memories we made at this house. The road coming in is very rough and steep, so bring a 4x4

The house and stay was awesome. Would recommend a 4 wheel drive.

Our experience was great! The house and location are amazing! The pictures don’t do it justice. Very beautiful, clean and peaceful place. There was plenty of communication from the host Yocasty. Although my signal/connection was spotty, she always replied to my messages quickly. Margarita was very nice and helpful. Gerardo was very friendly and kept the pool and grounds always clean. Noe was also very friendly and we always felt safe having him guard at night. If any recommendation it would only be to have softer mattresses and maybe have the house/furniture updated. Other than that I appreciated that they had plenty of towels, toilet paper and water to drink. They also had coffee, oil, gas for the grill and basic condiments and seasonings. The refrigerator also made ice. All of that is always a plus for us. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone and I would definitely go back again.

We love staying here for the beautiful surroundings and peace and quiet.

The house and location were gorgeous. All the employees were so welcoming and helpful. The beach was nothing but breathtaking. Definitely recommend :)

This was a much needed escape from the hustle and bustle. If you're looking for wifi, the latest TV shows, then stay home. This is a wonderful villa, with a nice clean pool, a beach within walking distance, and various natural attractions nearby. Just what the doctor ordered.

Our group of 6 had a great time at this property. We were three adults and three kids (ages 13, 11, and 9). Plenty of room for everyone and a wonderful shaded patio with a tremendous view for enjoying the days and nights. Yocasty was a very helpful and communicative host. Margarita was a great cook and provider of local knowledge. And the rest of the staff were friendly and attentive as well. We enjoyed the beach a lot, great sand and clear water waves for the kids to play in. We also took some hikes up and down the shoreline to Playa Rincon and Las Galeras. A bit of an adventure but well worth it, especially a jump in the pool and a cold drink after the hike. It's been mentioned several times but the road IS rough, so bring a durable vehicle, but you will get there and relaxation awaits. We were there in March and had no bugs, great weather, and just the sounds of waves hitting the beach. There is a supermarket in Las Galeras and other places for supplies, I would try to stock up on the way there so you don't have to leave this wonderful location during your stay (unless you choose too for some sightseeing, hiking, boating, etc).

The home is located in a beautiful location. But make sure have everything you need on the way there. The road going in was rough and would be difficult for an inexperienced driver to “back roads”. Although it was worth the drive in. I would recommend having the maid do your cooking… she will also get the groceries you need (All at a cost). The beach close by was beautiful. The house and pool where great along with the help from yocasity and team!

I can't say enough about how beautiful this property is!! The house is amazing. We traveled with our two children 16 and 8 and they had an amazing time without a TV!!! For anyone booking, Margarita is the best cook on the island!! Daily she brought us fresh fruit and juice. The beach is absolutely lovely and peaceful. It is a short walk down the hill from the house but the hill is steep, we drove down. Yocasty, Noel and Geraldo are great and so helpful. Yocasty was so helpful with everything from arranging meals, recommendations for our covid test for our return to the states, restaurants, excursions, and more. We honestly felt like we were bothering her but she remained pleasant and polite (best customer service). While the description says any car with 4x4 will work, I would absolutely recommend a car that take a rugged terrain and a high clearance as the road to the house and the driveway is a challenge. The sound of the ocean at night is the perfect lullaby. We took a couple of trips to Las Galeras and Samana. We did an guide tour to the El Limon waterfall. There weren't any bugs day or night. The home does not have AC but you don't need it because the windows do not have glass and the breeze throughout the house is wonderful coupled with the ceiling fans. Lastly, patronize and get to know the people in the local communities. Most of the restaurants only accept pesos.
