Our New "Home Away from Home!"
Our New "Home Away from Home!"

My husband and two daughters recently spent an enjoyable and incredibly relaxing week at Tortuga Villa B5. We decided to do something a little different for Thanksgiving this year and after shopping around for the perfect vacation rental, we decided on this property and I am so glad we did.
The owner was very prompt and courteous in responding to our questions and special requests. He arranged for someone to pick us up from the airport so our arrival was very smooth and hassle free.
According to the owner, the home has been newly remodeled and it shows. It is located in a very established neighborhood with beautiful grounds and looks out on to one of the golf courses within the Punta Cana resort. It features a great pool area, which was where we usually ended our day. My daughters were able to take the golf cart, which was included in our rental rate, to a gorgeous beach that is within walking distance, but of course, they thought going by golf cart was much more fun!
The rental rate also included a housekeeper who made a delicious breakfast every morning and was available to make meals for us if we chose so. While she stayed there our entire stay, it was not intrusive or uncomfortable one bit since she has her own sleeping quarters and would clean and tidy up while we were out. We decided to rent a car just to be able to get around outside the resort however, it is not necessary if you plan to stay within Punta Cana village.
The home itself is gorgeous. The kitchen is fully functional and updated and features all the amenities we are accustomed to at home. My daughters wanted to share the downstairs bedroom, which has two queen beds and a private bath. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom upstairs, which was a very generous size and incredibly comfortable.
We did not want to leave when our vacation was over. But we are happy to have found a new home away from home. We will definitely be back and may even make this a new family tradition for Thanksgiving!
Owner's Response: Thank you for writing such a nice review. We strive to make all our guests stay an enjoyable one and we are thrilled that your stay was no exception. It was a pleasure having you and your family as guests at our Villa and we look forward to welcoming you in the near future!
