It was love at first sight. My wife saw the house at homeaway and couple of hours later we had rented it and booked the flights. We rented the house first in June and came back in September. My whole family, 6 of us, spent 11 amazing days in Las Terrenas. The owners are great people who spent a lot of time on the phone and in emails making sure we knew all the local tips and activities. They were very conscientious about making sure that everything worked perfectly. First of all, the house and grounds were exactly as it was described to be in the way of comfort, beauty, location, walking distance to all places, privacy and security. Maribel and Nanny, the housekeepers were lovely and very accommodating. Maribel is a wonderful cook, a real chef! - you will love her meals. The house is spectacular. We wanted to go for some excursions but at the end we stayed the entire time at the villa, its chill out areas, the pool on top of this little hill overlooking the ocean. We never before had such a wonderful experience of freedom and peace. Everything is in walking distance. Even though, once you reach the villa on top of this beautiful hill you feel far away from everything, a real hideaway with pure privacy and in walking distance back to life. Normally the other villas in this peer group we checked out are too far away from town and its wonderful restaurants and night life. This vila is more a estate since the plot has more than 300,000 sq ft. We will come back, hopefully very soon. Please keep it the way it is…..wonderful..!!

We (4 adults and 4 children) just had an amazing week at the villa. Everything is just as described. It was very easy to communicate with Carlos, the owner, and yes, Maribel, and Nani are great cooks!!! I could only repeat what is described in the other reviews already.

A wonderful and very special getaway. The house is a work of art. And filled with works of art! How beautiful. And Lugo, Maribel and Nanny were lovely. Amazing food. Great way to experience the culture of the DR and Las Terranas in total luxury.

I highly recommend this beautiful four bedroom vacation house. It's beautifully furnished with artwork and updated facilities. The house is perched up on the hill, the large surrounding grounds in the gated area felt very safe with amazing views of the surrounding hills and ocean. We enjoyed our meals overlooking the ocean. Each night we sat and drink wine overlooking the beautifully lit pool and peacefully lit landscape. The master bedroom upstairs felt very secluded from the rest of the house and even had its own balcony and Hammock. The staff was excellent. They went to the market to help us pick out local foods and cooked almost all of our meals. Their cooking was excellent. Lugo was very helpful and would drive us around the area to different excursions. The beaches seemed a little far to walk to so we would use his services to get to the many beautiful local beaches. We highly recommend the horseback ride to the waterfall. We also did zip lining and scuba diving which we loved. The owner was very responsive and available and helpful. Although the surrounding area is poor this house felt very safe and modern and we enjoyed our vacation very much and will be back.

A group of 6 of my close friends friends stayed here over the span of 4 days and had one of the best trips of our lives. The staff and owner did a tremendous job and we would definitely come back. My only recommendation would be if you are renting by a car to map out where the house is so that you have a good understanding of where to go as there are no addresses. It is best to arrange someone from the house to drive you to and from the airport.

This was our best holiday since years. Never been in such a well decorated and classy home in Caribbean. Perfect service and absolute privacy on a very large property. We want to come back asap

We stayed for 10 days but could have stayed much longer! The villa, the setting, Marybelle and Lugo, all lovely. Just a short walk into town where there plenty of really good restaurants. The beaches are excellent and suitable for surfing. We could say a lot more but really, if you are looking for a break in the Caribbean region, then you will be hard pressed to find somewhere as agreeable as this wonderful villa.

A beautiful villa with swimming pool and panoramic views. Set on a hill it is secluded so gives complete privacy but also very close to the local town, with plenty of shops, cafes, restaurants and beautiful beaches. We had an amazing stay, the place and local area was very safe and Carlos was an excellent host. I would love to return here and I very highly recommend this place.

Our 7 days were wonderful. The house is beautiful; the furnishings and artwork so tasteful and the view from the deck chairs spectacular! Maribel was especially lovely, making us dinner one evening. And for our five year old a calf was born one night—-how perfect is that. Thanks Carlos!

Carlos and Arlettes home on a hill top in Terrenas is a gorgeous, comfortable, well-designed home that we would recommend for any type of group. We spent a week there with two families with young kids and enjoyed immensely all aspects of the house: the pool, the spectacular view and the beautiful home. The house is taken care of and cleaned every day by a wonderful group of care takers. One of the most special aspects of our stay was hiring Maribel as our chef for 3 nights of the week to cook incredible, fresh Dominican food. Carlos and Arlette were incredibly responsive and helpful to us showing us the way to the aptly named "playa bonita" which is a stunning beach with small waves that were perfect for the kids, chairs to sit on under the shade of palm trees and an incredible view. We had 5 young children so we spent most of our time between the house, Playa Bonita and a kid friendly restaurant on the beach called the Mosquito which was perfect for us but it also seemed that there would have been much more to explore on Peninsula Samana! We would highly recommend to anyone and hope to return some day!
