Excellent, 4 weeks ago

This was my family’s second time staying here - the beach is magical! We had the house for our family of 6 and my parents stayed in the guest house…it was great!

Host Response

Michelle and family came down to enjoy our beach front home and guest cottage. They spent their time doing everything available in our area and we're out the door early every day. We love families like this who come and really check out the little known adventures available near by. We are still talking about the fun things you experienced.

Amazing, wonderful and definitely all that we had hoped for. The pool is beautiful, perfectly clean and not overly chlorinated. Partially shaded, amazing temperature 10/10 loved it. We stayed for 8 days and the pool was maintained a couple times during our stay. Comfy lounge chairs, umbrella, great BBQ area. Even found some weights so I could get some workouts in! The beach access can’t be beat. Not only is it just steps away, but that stretch of beach is just amazingly beautiful. The trees, the rocks, the vibe, so good. Nice walk down the beach to Dominicalito for ceviche and smoothies. Lots of lizards, iguanas, butterflies and birds in the yard. Beds were very comfy. Pillows were comfy. My biggest complaint is that I didn’t get to a couple activities I hoped to do while I was in the area because the Airbnb was so nice we didn’t want to go anywhere. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks Greg!

I wanted an Airbnb right of the beach and this place did not disappoint, the beach area was awesome but I will warn anybody who comes here if you want to go swimming use Gregory's beautiful pool and not the ocean. The currents in the ocean are no joke, its incredible watching the waves crash against the rocks and plenty shady areas to kick back and watch but you have to be careful about how far you wade out. Gregory has a very nice set up for grilling by the pool and a cozy charming place to stay and most importantly to us the A.C. cooled down quite nicely! Gregory was very responsive and willing to help out anyway he could and gave great references on where to go out and eat.

Small house that is part of a residential complex with the owner on site. Let’s say it was less private than we expected. Mattress needs refreshing, and the property smells. The location is amazing, with the pool and the sea just around the corner. I recommend it for a family or group of friends. It's more of a resort where you do your grocery shopping, and you need a car. Thank you so much, Gregory 😀

Its the jungle and the small sugar ants were gone the 1st day. Your stuffed luggage with jungle worn clothes could have been the smell. Please find an appropriate place such as a large resort. We arena beach front home with 1 guest cottage. Go to a different spot, but not here. Reading the description would have cleared up your many misconceptions.

Gregory was an amazing host, very helpful and responsive to our many questions. The guest house was exactly as he described, completely stocked kitchen, beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs all included for use. Having access to laundry was great. The pullout sofa was adequate for our 15 year old son. The guest house is just steps from the beautiful beach and approximately 1/2 mile walk down the beach to the main part of Dominicalito beach for great swimming and surfing. The only downside is the noise from the road just above. The tractor trailer trucks use their brakes at all hours and are quite loud.

It's always great to have guests as yourselves/. It makes our time fun and not a job! Thanks for enjoying our place! Maybe see you again sometime.

The home itself is beautiful and loved the pool and beach access. Greg was initially warm and welcoming, but as the stay progressed we began to feel monitored and judged. Frequent, accusatory communication made it difficult to relax and enjoy our family’s stay. There was virtually no posted house rules in the listing, with expectations instead discussed in person at arrival. Which was fine except certain details were left out. We were not informed that the laundry facilities were shared and locked overnight, which created confusion. Would prefer written house rules we can refer to. Some concerns raised about our activities did not align with our experience and lead to misunderstanding and accusations of inappropriate behavior where none existed. We ultimately chose to leave early as we were no longer able to enjoy the stay as intended. This may suit guests comfortable with a very hands-on host, but those seeking a private, relaxing stay may want to consider other options.

Sorry for the misunderstandings. I made it clear that our W/D is for all to use and at day time only since I lock our bodega at dark.

Wow!!! What an absolutely beautiful piece of paradise! Greg and Lisa were fabulous hosts and always there to help if needed. We cannot say enough about how the place was kept up. The pool was wonderful, the access to the beach for phenomenal! Steps away from the beach with breathtaking views! 100% we will be booking again with our little family of three! They were so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and thoughtful! Truly such beautiful souls. Thanks for an amazing vacation! See you soon!!

Host Response

Thank you for the great review from the Novack family! When you live in paradise it is easy to take it for granted after awhile. But guests like the Novaks brought an appreciation & excitement for our little resort & the area in general it became infectious. We enjoyed their company very much & shared some interesting & fun experiences together. We are so happy that they plan on returning & consider them less clients than new friends .
