A nice place to stay!

A lovely housein a nice location. It is safe, secure, and very clean. It is a good place to come back to and relax for an evening swim before going out at night. It is located in a tranquil setting but close enough to walk to the beach and the nightlife. Go service by all and a few laughs along the way. The villa is well equipped to cook a nice meal with all moden conveniences. I had a wonderful stay and would recommend this villa toeveryone!

This is my second visit to this house. I call my visit there a "brain massage." Everytime I visit I end up staying another week. It is perfect. The foilage is greener, the sky is more blue and the gentle breeze is delicious. The owners make you feel like it is your place during your visit. The maid service is excellent and the little town of Sosua has many restaurants very reasonably priced. I intend on buying a home in the same neighborhood in a couple of years. The gated community has the best homes in the DR. Enjoy!

Dee,
I just want to thank you for opening up your Sosua home to us this past week. We had a wonderful time. To be honest with you, I don't know if there is a better place to stay down there. The maid was very accommodating and friendly. Joanna was very helpful, and Jesus was just great. We met a lot of good people, and made great friends. I really hope we can stay there again when we come back, because we are DEFINITELY going back. We're shooting for mid October. I'm still thinking about all the good times we had. I miss it already!
Thanks again!

My new wife and I stayed in this Villa in September of 2008. It was really the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Dominican Republic.
We really liked that we were able to walk to where we needed to go. The town and grocery store were 10 minutes away and the beach was 15 minutes. We enjoyed cooking our own food in the house and trying out the fun little restaurants in town. There was one time when we hired a guy to drive us on his motor bike to the far side of the town.
We have been in several Latin American and Caribean countries and felt the safest in the DR. We felt safe walking at all times of the day. We feel that the government has done a good job building the infastructure and the economy is in good shape.
The staff of the community were great. We got to know our maid and she was really sweet. The guards at the gate were friendly and were willing to help us out when we asked them questions in spanish.
We enjoyed our tour of the 'Seven Waterfalls' because we could learn about the DR from the tourguide and got to see more of the country. We also had a great time when we had a local boat owner take us on an hour long snorkeling excursion.
We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return with friends some time in the future.

Thank you for the great review. We also think our property management and staff are doing a great job. We just returned to our villa after being away for 7 months and was amazed at what great shape our villa was still in. We have had my rentals this year.
Hope to hear from you again. Maybe we will get to meet in Ocean City, MD. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

Our Week in Sosua
Review Submitted: August 4, 2008

My husband and I and our two teen-age children spent a week at the villa. The villa and the pool were immaculate. We really enjoyed having our own private pool and spent many relaxing hours there in between our sightseeing tours and our time in Sosua. Having our own kitchen allowed us to cook some of our own meals, which reduced the cost of our vacation and allowed us to spend time together as a family. We really enjoyed our Mels Tours - we took the Jeep Safari and Puerto Plata tours. My son and daughter participated in Ocean Worlds Sea Lion and Dolphin encounters.

I stayed at the villa for my 10th wedding anniversary. My wife and I had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful. We enjoyed the private pool in the back. It was in a safe location; with close proximity to the beach, shops, restaurants, clubs, casino, etc.
It was also cool having maid and pool services as well, wireless internet. We're trying to plan our next visit to this splendid destination. Dee, the owner was also helpful with providing pertinent information, maps and suggestions to tours.

My three girlfriends and myself vacationed at Dee and Steve's villa in the DR in March 2008. What a fantastic week. Their place is lovely. It's everything the description says and more. The pool was a treat. The house was very comfortable, clean and safe. It is conveniently located, just a 10-15 minute walk to town. Dee went out of her way to provide us with information so that we felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. We experienced 2 tours while there....Mel Tours Jeep Safari and Paradise Island snorkeling....both great!! Linda at Mel Tour is the one to see. The restaurants were all good. The Waterfront restaurant was an extra nice treat. We'd go back there in a heartbeat. 85 degrees and sunshine everyday....why wouldn't we?

Owner's Response: Hi Patty,
Glad you and the girls had a fantastic trip. Everyone seems to love the Jeep Safari trip. Steve and I also did it with some friends. We did not do the falls.... but we enjoyed the senic ride and buffet meal. Our friends thought the falls was the most fun they have ever experienced. Thank you for the nice review. Let me know when you are ready to return to paradise........We sure are ready,but can't right now.

My mother and I visited Sosua from 28 January 08- 01 February 08 and stayed at this villa in Residencial Hispaniola. Everything that is listed or said about the villa is absolutely true. The villa is very new, very clean, and very well mantained. The views from the villa are beautiful. The town of Sosua is very charming and the people are kind and accomodating. The town and ocean are a short walk from the villa. There are many things to do and see in the town...we also went on a 'jeep safari' with Mel Tours which was a truly amazing especially the waterfall leg of the trip. I would certainly go back to the Dominican Republic and would certainly stay in this beautiful villa again.

Relaxation at its Best
Review Submitted: April 23, 2008
Date of Stay: February 2008
My wife and I spent 10 wonderful days here. All the information provided about the property and town was right on the mark. Beautiful villa, with a wonderful view. Service was great. Having been many other places, this is going to be our first choice from now on. The owners were just wonderful and the information they provided us (the inside tips) was so greatly appreciated. Rather than do tours, etc, we just relaxed, went to happy hour at the Brittania and then to dinner. The little town is very friendly and safe with a multitude of places to eat and drink. The beach there is something to behold. At the end of the street from the villa is a grocery store. Local items are really inexpensive but imported items can be a little steep. If you want meat, eggs and veggies it will not cost you much but if you want chips and that kind of items it is a bit steep.
I wish we were there now!!!!! There are plenty of tour operators there for those wishing to do that. Mels is the one most of the people there spoke of. I was thinking of going on a fishing trip (they were really cheap), but I had taken my telescopic with me and just went down to the beach a couple of times in the early am. Didn't do very well, was so relaxing I don't think I put any bait on the hook.

Relaxing and Convenient
Review Submitted: April 1, 2008
Date of Stay: March 2008
We arrived at the house after spending one week living on a boat out at Silver Bank while swimming with the humpback whales. This was a great alternative to the all inclusive atmosphere. The house was in a great location and convenient to shopping and the beach. You could walk to everywhere you needed to go. The people in the community were very helpful. Dee (the owner) made everything perfect including sending information about Sosua before we arrived. She gave us great suggestions for shopping and restaurants.
We took a enjoyable tour with Puerta Plata Runners and got to visit a school, a family home, the beach etc. We took a tour to Santa Domingo with Mel's tours. It was a really gruelling long day. Unless you are really a fan of Christopher Columbus and want to visit the historic sights I wouldn't advise the tour. We left at 5:30 am and didn't return until 9:00pm. We also took a snorkelling tour to Rio San Juan. The snorkelling was better right off the beach in Sosua if you are willing to swim out to the coral. The trip to Rio San Juan was not worth the money.
Dee and Steve have provided a great escape. The house is very comfortable and having a private pool is a wonderful bonus. Also the maid is a real sweetheart.
I would recommend this rental to anyone who is not into the all inclusive type of atmosphere. This type of rental gives you the opportunity to interact with the local people which was a great experience.
