Photos and Description of the Playa Cofresi vacation villa rental
5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, sleeps 14

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. Villa Del Caribe is the only private beach-front villa in Playa Cofresi and has wonderful large verandas on two floors which are ideal for parties or simply relaxing with a good book and some rum. You will enjoy our large private swimming pool and thatch-roof cabana 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, our two full-time maids 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 (POP) at 12 Miles
Nearest Beach : Playa Cofresi at 10 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.

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!

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.

Wonderful experience

Review Submitted: November 27, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
I have been vacationing in Puerto Plata for the past 8 years on a regular basis and have always enjoyed the fun and beauty this area has to offer. Usually I would stay at a resort and have my friends who live in Dominican Republic pick me up to frequent the non tourist areas, bars, and restaurants. On this trip, because it was my 50th birthday, I decided to rent a villa so that my friends could stay and help me celebrate. I luckily stumbled upon "Villa Del Caribe" in Playa Cofresi. It is a beautiful majestic house that has been recently totally renovated. The rooms have very comfortable, pleasing furniture that blends beautifully with the Villa's character. It is located across from the beach and very near Ocean World which has a world class casino and restaurant. The staff at Villa Del Caribe were amazing. They cooked anything we asked and if we asked for something they couldn't cook, they went a bought it at a local place. Thank you for making my 50th birthday celebration a very special memory.

villa review

Review Submitted: August 31, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
Dear Mark & Chris,

First, I need to say WE SHALL RETURN!

Our group wanted to pack up your entire staff and take them home! Villa de Caribe Rocks, (comment from the kids)! The older generation had to agree!

Everything and everybody exceeded our expectations! The layout of the villa was extra-ordinary! We found ourselves being pleasantly surprised around every corner! What a vacation villa! We played a game wherein each of us discussed at breakfast everyday what we liked the most and the least!

The balconies with the rocking wicker were mentioned each morning by the adults.The kids loved the gazebo and pool area. We liked least the fact that we were getting closer to leaving. Oh, the kids needed a towel rack in the powder room downstairs. We did not venture down to the beach often because we loved it from the balconies - what a view!!!! The gardens were so beautiful and well maintained, we took sooo many pictures!

The food and housekeeping were outstanding! We were never disappointed with anything. Tks for the visit! I celebrated my birthday at Caribe and I look forward to scheduling many more with your wonderful staff at this fabulous villa. CONGRATS ON YOUR RENOVATION, job expertly done!

Continued Success, Pat

Review Submitted: August 6, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We recently spent a week at this property and had a wonderful time. The house is situated convenient to the beach and has beautifully maintained grounds. The house, grounds, and pool area are in perfect condition and provide great privacy in the middle of this small town. The staff that are employed at the house are helpful, pleasant and first rate.

This is a can't miss rental!

Comfort in Cofresi

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.
