Unbeleivable views
House is very well located with views of the ocean on one side and mountain and downtown Puerto Plata on the other side. Very nice pool and outdoor space even when it rains under the large palapas. Owners and caretaker very nice and helpful all the time. Beach, taxis, mini market store, pharmacy and resto all within 5-15 walking minutes distance. And all inside Costambar secured neighborhood. Must take a cab to go down to Puerto Plata though. 5 kms and about $15US one way. We have moved into the main house upon owners departure and love it.

Great Getaway to Travel or Stay In
My husband and I stayed here for about 4 days in May. The property owner was responsive and very helpful while we were preparing for our trip, and we were able to communicate with Carlos the caretaker via WhatsApp when we had WiFi. We spent most of our time traveling to different places (day trips to Monkey Jungle, beach and caves in Cabarete, Teleferico in Puerto Plata, and 27 Waterfalls). It was a decent walk (if you don't mind the hills and heat!) from a local grocery store and a couple restaurants, and we really enjoyed the mountain view from the backyard table and pool. Unfortunately, the house next door was in construction during our stay, but at least there was a mesh fabric between the houses to provide us with a little more privacy. Our favorite place was the outdoor area for meals and the pool. We took advantage of the kitchen to prepare our own meals for breakfast and lunches. Even though we chose to travel every day, we could see staying in for the week. We also stopped by the beach one evening - which was a very short drive from the house - and there were chairs there and vendors selling food, so that would be a good idea for a day activity close by.
