Photos and Description of the Playa Cofresi vacation villa rental 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 1 crib, sleeps up to 10

This lovely beach house, surrounded by over 1/2 acre of private tropical gardens, overlooks the gentle surf of Playa Cofresi on the North Shore of the Dominican Republic. The house, which is the only private beach-front villa in Playa Cofresi, boasts a wonderful, large wrap-around porch which is ideal for parties or simply relaxing with a good book and some rum. You will enjoy our large private swimming pool and veranda in the back yard as well as our smaller sitting pool for non-swimmers or those who prefer to lounge in the water (often with a drink!). Of course, the full-time maid will cook, clean and do laundry, so you have to worry about . . . anything! Playa Cofresi plays host to many international visitors. This area offers a wonderful place to relax among a mix of friendly Dominican citizens as well as North American and European tourists and ex-patriots. There are also great restaurants within walking distance.

Location: Dominican Republic

Nearest Airport: Puerto Plata at 12 Miles
Nearest Beach: beach at 10.0 Metres
Car: not necessary
Cofresi Beach, named after a famous pirate, is about 4.5 km west of Puerto Plata. The coral sand at the beach is cool on the feet and soft to the touch. On one end of the mile long beach are rocks and coral that invite snorkelers. There are usually breakers for body surfing in some areas but the rest is just right for wading. There are no rip tides, no dangerous under tows and no jelly fish at Cofresi. Quaint Dominican souvenir kiosks and nice restaurants are set along the beach area but you will not be hassled by hawkers on the beach itself. After the sun goes down, the nightlife picks up, with musical shows, discos and a casino all just a short walk away.

Further details for this vacation villa rental in Playa Cofresi, Dominican Republic

Our Private Tropical Gardens: Villa Del Caribe is surrounded by over 1/2 acre of private tropical gardens. Take a peaceful stroll around the pool and enjoy the colorful bougainvillea, orchids and other colorful flowers and ferns. In the front of the house, you can relax in the shade of coconut palm, almond and mango trees, or walk over to enjoy the sun-drenched 'Island Garden' in the front of the property. To see more, please go to www.playacofresi.info

More About Playa Cofresi: Playa Cofresi is a wonderful place for those who want a relaxing Dominican experience, but aren't interested in (or are tired of) the all-inclusive scene. Just walk along the beach, and you'll see and meet a wide range of people, all of whom are enjoying simply being at Cofresi. Tourists from the US and Europe mingle easily with Dominicans. On the beach, language is not a barrier -- a simple 'Hola!' and a smile are all that is needed. There is also a thriving (and often quirky) community of expats who have washed up on the shores of Cofresi. Most of them have come from the US, Canada, Germany and the UK. Just pull up a seat at Chris & Mady's bar, or the bar at the Beach House restaurant and strike up a conversation. Everyone has a story that they are happy to share over a Margarita or a Rum & Coke. In no time at all, it will be easy to think that you're in the middle of a Jimmy Buffet song! To see more, please go to www.playacofresi.info

Beach Reading 'Library': We've stocked our home with a large number of books that are great for reading on the beach or by the pool. And we've also included a lot of books for the kids, too -- from bedtime stories for the little ones to books that the teens will enjoy. Take a good look around when you are there -- we've tucked them into various corners, shelves and niches. You should be able to find something interesting. And speaking of interesting: Don't worry about being half-way through a great story when it is time to leave. If the book is too good to put down, please feel free to take it with you and read on way home. And if you've brought a book with you that you've finished, you can leave it at the house for another guest to enjoy.

Comfort in Cofresi

JAllen Maryland, USA
Review Submitted: July 25, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had a wonderful time in Cofresi. We have been to Cofresi many times but this was our first time staying at this property. The property is beautiful and the location is prime. Just across from the beach and a few minutes walk to Ocean World and the Casino. The swimming pool was the perfect temperature to float in for hours at a time. There is a mini market and restaurants within a minutes walk. The staff was attentive and resolved any issue immediately. Bena prepared authentic meals that were wonderful. Everyone in our group had a marvelous time and we are already planning to return next year.

Second time better then the first.

Yves and Diane Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Review Submitted: May 2, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This was our second time at this villa. My husband and I went by ourselves last year and decided to try something different than the all inclusive vacations we had done in the past. We fell in love with not just the villa but the area and the staff. This year we brought the kids. We were 5 in total and there was still room for more. All though you have to shop once a week for your food with the housekeeper/cook/angel which I found not to be an incovenience at all the service in the house can not even be remotely compared to an All Inclusive. As a matter of fact after a vacation like this you will most likely never do an All Inclusive again. I know we wont. Just to give you an example, my 2 oldest kids went ATVing and when they returned they were filthy but very happy. I let my daughter borrow my runners and I thought oh my there ruined, along with my sons runners as well. I don't know when or how it happened, but the next time we saw the shoes they looked brand new. Not to mention all of there clothes they were wearing that faithful day. This was my pivitol WOW moment in regards to service. The DR is huge for baseball, so if you are looking for gifts to give there anything baseball will be highly appretiated. We took down a couple bats, gloves and balls. Our kids used them while we were there and then we left them for the boys. For all the mom's out there who are looking for a truly carefree vacation this is the place for you.

Best villa in Cofresi beach

Anthony/Matt New York
Review Submitted: April 8, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
This Villa is amazing; the pool is beautiful as is the whole house. The villa's location is perfect; you are about 100 yards from the beach. There are a few stores in walking distance as is Chris & Mady's restaurant/bar which has great food and is conveniently located right next to the house. Don't forget Ocean World (right down the block) has a casino, night club, atm machine; you can swim with dolphins or sharks plus many other activities for family. Bena is an outstanding host; her cooking is some of the best food we ever had. There are also security guards on duty all night to watch over the Villa's. I would definitely recommend going on Quads or horseback riding, they take you through town and to the beach where there is beautiful scenery. Definitely would recommend this villa to all, and looking forward to stay again next year. Thank you Chris & Mark for a great vacation.

vacation in paradise

APod New Orleans
Review Submitted: December 8, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
We were recently at Villa Caribe for 6 nights, 7 days. The weather was warm, with scattered Caribbean rains. We were welcomed warmly by the driver, Gabino, and then the Spanish-speaking house and kitchen helpers, Bena and Anna. Despite the fact that that Playa Cofresi is spackled with ex-pats and fluent English speakers, our moderate spanish speaking skills helped us tremendously.
The area is not typically Dominican, nor is it all inclusive cookie cutter, like other places offered in the DR. It is rather secluded, so we felt like it was safe and private. We loved the uniqueness of the experience.
We spent most of our luxurious relaxation time pool side, but the beach was inviting and cozy as well. We only ventured beyond the area on a handful of occasions. We enjoyed dining at the very hands-off (service wise) Chris and maddy's. We had many cocktails at Ahora, on the beach. We went fishing one day and caught a lovely Mahi Mahi. And we took a Jeep tour to the waterfalls. The Jeep tour was incredible, be prepared for some waterfall climbs and pretty serious adventure! Also beware the sales pitch for DR stuff along the way.
We would all be thrilled to repeat this same vacation, or recommend it to a friend.

Time Past Ohhh To Quickly

Wileyjean Pittsburgh PA, USA
Review Submitted: November 29, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
Wonderful home and fantastic workers. Had a fabulous experience during our recent vacation. Everyone was so helpful. Comfortable home with lots of room, clean, and just great for my family of 3 teenagers. Walk across the street to the beach and right next door to Ocean World. Food was fun to try with a friendly cook/housekeeper. Experience the food market and downtown - both truly an eye-opener. Would never, ever drive in DR, let taxi do the riding. Only wish the water pressure was a bit more in the house, but that is the only drawback - just take turns taking a shower. Try the Ahora on the beach for mouth smacking wings and Chris and Maddy's for an excellent meal. The Pizza cafe plaza offers computers with internet for only $1 an hour. Some of the information in the house description needs to be updated and rates changed regarding taxi cost, etc. When touring, keep in mind that tips are appreciated. Went on the catamaran but found lots to see right in front of house with our own goggles - would not do that again. Definately would dune buggy/quad ride, jeep safari tour, and town tour. Ocean World was fun - not very big but enjoyed the visit. Casino is smaller than we expected - may have ventured out to Playa Dorado that had 3 casino's had we thought about it more. We will return to DR in the future ---
