Perfect location. Steps from the beach and walkable to shops, bars, markets, restaurants. No need to rent a car or taxi. Comfortable apartment, cold a/c. The location couldn’t be better. Fantastic communication throughout our stay. Perfect experience!
Nadia has one of the best units for rent in that town. The pictures don’t do justice in my opinion. The view is to die for. Access was easy and the location was secure. Each room was well stocked with comfortable beds, chests and closets for storage and the bathrooms were also well stocked with good fittings. Beds were all comfortable, and so were the seats in the living room. We did suggest adding a couch in the patio.
If you stopped to look at this listing because of the amazing beach front views and thought “those can’t be real”… let me tell you first hand they absolutely are and are somehow even better than the pictures!
After spending a week exploring, we concluded that Vasiliy’s place is literally the best spot to stay on the whole beach and that’s not an exaggeration. You are surrounded by resorts on both sides. There are only like 2-3 private lots right where Vasiliy’s place is. All the resorts have nice beaches but their rooms are far off the beach with ok views but nothing like this place. Even the ones that are on the beach are one story and have a cruise ship sized balcony to sit on. Vasiliy’s place is the only one on the whole beach that is 4-5 stories and you get the top of the top with this listing! Everyone waking by on the beach will be looking up at you jealously and wondering who the heck can afford to stay there.
I will say Vasiliy was an excellent host. His communication was by far the best of any rental I’ve done on this app. Not only was he very fast to respond to every question, he also sent through many suggestions for things to do, places to visit, restaurants to try (more on that later) and transportation options. This was all very helpful and much appreciated.
As I mentioned, the views are somehow even better in person than they look on the photos. The water is perfectly blue, the sand really is that color and is the nice soft and not hot to walk on kind aka perfect. We spent so much time just sitting on the two balcony’s looking out at the view it was crazy.
Out the front view there are several palm covered umbrellas that you can use. Make sure to get out early as many people chair save with towels and not all the chairs are nice (first world problems, I know…). There are places literally on both sides of the apartment that serve frozen drinks right on the beach. Most will even bring them right to you for a small fee (pina coladas run about 8-10 USD but are worth it. If you can walk a block off the beach this will drop to 5-7 USD on average.
Next door there is a pseudo night club that had it going pretty loud on Sunday night with a DJ. I had noise canceling headphones on in the master bedroom and could still hear it clearly. While that was a little annoying, it was just the one night. We were there all week and it never got that loud again. Most nights it was totally quiet.
The wind on this side of the island is pretty constant. At first it’s a bit annoying because it’s literally like being in a car wash when the dryers are on - I would guess 20+ mph wind constant on 6 of our 7 nights. The plus side of this is that it keeps it nice and cool. When we would walk into town for dinner just one block in it was very warm and almost uncomfortable. We were all happy to turn the corner back to the apartment and get our ocean breeze back!
The local area was very safe. At no point did we ever feel unsafe for any reason. There are several gates to get to where the apartment is and we didn’t notice any “riff raff” the whole time. In fact, the local area was really nice for waking. We did not rent a car and I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone. If you want to go for an excursion most have transportation included. A car would’ve been a constant headache.
Just a couple minute walk gets you all the essentials - mini mart, currency exchange, dozens of restaurants, souvenir shops etc. By far the best restaurant we found was La Bruha. It’s about a 5-10 min walk but worth every minute. Best drinks we found (and we tried a lot…), also best food. It wasn’t even close. It was the only place we went to more than once. The fish taco’s are an app, but they were the best meal we had. The last night we all went there and all 6 of us got them for our meal haha.
Food was not that expensive, but alcohol was. We spent more than double what we would here in the US for bottles of vodka, rum etc. other than that, everything was reasonable or cheaper than I expected.
We did the Sanoa island excursion through Vasiliy and it was nice. The excursion itself was a bit of an adventure and if you don’t speak English you have to be a “go with the flow” kind of person to have a good time. The driver picked us up right outside the apartment which was awesome, but he took us to a gas station about 10 min away and stopped. There were a ton of other busses there but it looked like chaos to us. Couple times people came on our bus and asked us for tickets (which we didn’t have or need) and then eventually we were on our way after being transferred to another bus. Then we drove about an hour away and stopped at another “rest stop”, which was just a stop they put there to sell you things. Finally you get to the final stop and again get out with tons of other people. We walked 5 min through town to finally get to the beach where we are told we will be on the fast boat first (we didn’t know there was more than one kind of boat even). Eventually we got on and then started driving for 30/40 min. Eventually we stopped in a shallow spot and swam for 30 min or so and finally got our first drinks.
The location is literally right on the beach and you are close to very good restaurants. A little too much noise perhaps from the bar next door but with windows closed at night and air conditioning on we were fine.
Perfect location right on the beach and next to bars, food, shops. etc. Host was great in assisting with everything I needed. Apartment just had the basics and was not very big. Not really an issue for me as I didn't spend much time in the room- again it is right on the beach! If you are looking for a budget friendly place in a great location, I highly recommend.
Our family rented this AirBNB from Wed. Feb. 16 - Sun. Feb. 27, 2022 so we had a good long time there (12 days). We were traveling with our two daughters ages 24 and 26. If you have an opportunity to rent this place, DO IT! It was AMAZING! The photos are exactly how you will find the AirBNB. It was clean and spacious. The view and location could not be more perfect. The AirBNB is RIGHT on the beach. The water is clear and warm and the sand is sugary white. You just can't beat this place if you are a beach lover. Within a 5-8 minute walk there is every kind of restaurant you could want in the local downtown area. Citrus was our favorite downtown. Right next door to the AirBNB on the beach are two other great places to eat (Soles Beach Bar & another place next to that one - I can't remember the name). Great food and drinks. No need to rent a car. A big thank you to Vasiliy and Sergei for all their hospitality during our visit. They were very responsive (within minutes) for anything we needed or if we had any questions. Can't ask for anything more. This was our first trip to Punta Cana. We will definitely go back. A big shout out to all the locals who go out of their way to make visitors feel comfortable. Plenty of beach activities right at the beach right in front of the AirBNB too - very fun. Something for everyone. There is a local small grocery store nearby that stocks all the staples you will need during your stay so no need to bring alot of stuff with you. Linens, beach towels, beach lounges and palapas all supplied. If you like the beach you have not lived until you stay here. We have visited beaches all over the world and this one is second to none. Thanks Vasiliy and Sergei for a fantastic family vacation! We appreciate you!
The price of the apartment is slightly higher compared with similar. But considering that is the best place in the entire Punto Cana (in my opinion) and probably the best apartment (including that is the most closest to the water on the entire beach), you would probably want exactly this place and this apartment.
Plus to that - the host is exceptionally hospitable.
Stayed here for 17 days over Christmas through New Year. Property is as advertised in that it sits directly on the beach and central to a host of restaurants. We did not need a car and ate out 3 times a day for the entire time by simply walking. There is a gym near by with a trainer if you chose to utilize. Management is exceptional in that they responded to our every need expeditiously. Housekeeping was spot on and the unit is kept very clean. Very happy with our stay and would recommended.
Our family had a fantastic stay at Vasiliy’s place! The floor plan is great and the pictures are very accurate. The patio is definitely an extension of the living area and is immediately over the gorgeous beach. Vasiliy’s team is very responsive- they were great at arranging activities and transportation, and they came through for us even when our transportation needs changed at the last minute. Wonderful vacation- we’ll be back!
