Wi fi though the house, warm bread and food delivery, a masseuse on call if desired, and the closeness to the vivid town of Las Terrenas with its European and tropical vibe bars and restaurants will all contribute to an amazing and unforgettable stay.

A slice of paradise.

Our family group of 10 (grandparents, parents and 4 grandkids) thoroughly enjoyed Casa Paraiso. Nelson and Genesis (primarily Spanish speaking) were attentive to our needs and made delicious meals for us. While we did the first day shopping w Nelson and picked up other meal items when we were in town, Nelson is happy to shop once menus have been set. The beach front property was perfect for our kids. We couldn’t keep them Out of the warm waves. They took full advantage of the available activities (volleyball, swimming, playing w dogs..Sola and Laura). We had cars (driving not for the faint of heart which helped us get into Las Terrenas, to the waterfall, zip line, etc. but for fishing and snorkeling the boat came to us. Be aware that there are occasional power outrages in the area which impacts hot water but we were never without for long. We hated to leave.

Beautiful property, great location, exceptional staff

Casa Paraiso will not disappoint. Sometimes a rental property comes with several unpleasant surprises which, even if small, add up to frustration. Other times, a rental property continues to surprise in the best possible way –and that's the case here. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous, without question. The beach is beautiful, the grounds are well-kept, and the rooms are well-appointed. You're close enough to a small market and a couple of restaurants in walking distance, but you're nowhere near the noise and commotion of central Las Terrenas itself. But what really sets this place apart is the staff. From the moment of our arrival, Nelson, Genesis, Maria, and Coco were helpful at every turn. The value of having the housekeeping and cooking included in the cost of the rental cannot be overstated. You don't need to go out. You can instead spend your money on groceries and a generous tip for the amazing staff and eat in a beautiful setting right on the beach, without worrying about driving, parking, taxis, or walking home in the dark. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this place is above and beyond.

Paradise

This house was perfect for our family over Spring break! We had 13 people and it fit everyone perfectly. The staff made our experience even more enjoyable! We had delicious meals prepared for us for breakfast and dinner. Nelson was always available to answer any questions and Genesis was quite helpful as well. The kids lived swimming in the gorgeous beach/pool during the day and loved playing beach volleyball at night! Highly recommend! Oh and Annabella was always quick to answer any questions. She was a great host!

In Paradise - Amazing House and Service

We decided to enjoy our Christmas Holidays in Villa Paraiso, and it was the best decision ever. This was our 3rd time in las Terrenas, and we are always trying new houses, but having the full service on this House was another level. I normally do not repeat but this house we are definitely coming back. Let’s begin with the service: Nelson, Genesis, and Maria made the experience unforgettable. Even though it was holidays there were always there and helping us with everything. With their amazing food, cleanliness, and amazing hospitality. Nelson was incredible, this guy say yes to everything , and he make it possible. The house set up its amazing and so welcoming The service: A+ Private Beach for you Overall: A+ rating Thank You Anabella for always checking on us and to the whole team at Villa Paraiso, you guys made our Holidays very unique and special.

Amazing Family Christmas

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a beach property hosted by VRBO, and I cannot emphasize enough how amazing our experience was. From the moment we arrived, the staff, including Nelson, Maria, and Genesis, went above and beyond to cater to our every need. Their warm hospitality and attentive service truly made our stay unforgettable. The beach property itself was nothing short of spectacular. Spacious and well-designed, it comfortably accommodated our large group of 13 people. The open concept layout seamlessly connected the indoor spaces to the beach and ocean, allowing us to fully appreciate the stunning surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious home-cooked meals prepared by Nelson, Genesis, and Maria. Not only were these meals mouthwatering, but Nelson was able to accommodate our requests for every meal. It was a true luxury to have such talented chefs at our disposal. The grounds of the property were impeccably maintained, and we were delighted to discover a fish and turtle pond on the premises. Despite being in close proximity to neighbors, the property felt remarkably quiet and peaceful, adding to the overall tranquility of our stay. Additionally, the presence of a 24-hour security guard gave us an added sense of safety and peace of mind. Knowing that there was someone constantly monitoring the property added to our overall relaxation and enjoyment of our vacation. We truly felt secure and well taken care of throughout our stay.

Paraiso! Wonderful house and location

We really had an awesome 7 day stay. the house is big, fresh, extremely well located and beautifully maintained. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Overall this was a wonderful vacation and we were able to relax and forget about our hectic life for some days. We had 3 families and 6 kids total (ages 6 to 12), we all had a great time. House is just steps from the beach and in top there is a pool to relax in the afternoons. Whenever we decided to go out, you are just 5 minutes from all the restaurants and nigh life. The town is about 10-15 minute drive and Nelson was able to call a taxi for us which will wait while we were shopping, very easy and convenient whenever we had to go to the supermarket or just explore the town. Communicating with Annabella was extremely easy, always very responsive , even though we didn't have any issue during the stay. We are looking forward to come back one day. It was a great experience and I definitely recommend to explore Las Terrenas and this house. Thanks for a wonderful vacation Anabella, Nelson and Genesys. Alex.

Amazing Beach - True Gem

The beach is stellar. It's all yours, no one else. The staff, Genesis & Nelson met our every wish, cafecito (coffee), fresh fruits and coconuts on demand! Nelson makes a great parillada. They prepared a lovely dinner by the beach under the stars. The house pets are very sweet. Will come back again!

Paradise and More!!!!!

I am happy to share what was one of the most spectacular vacation experiences of my life. As beautiful as the pictures are on the site, they really don't do this property justice. From the second we pulled in, you're taken back by this hidden gem tucked away in the lush native landscape , sitting right on the beach. Better yet, we where greeted with a smile. Nelson, the house caretaker, is the ultimate gentleman and available for you to have everything you need. The house is completely open with wood shutter doors and windows that pull the ocean breeze through the entire house. (DON'T EVER CHANGE THAT). You can feel the love put into every corner of this home. Each room is tastefully decorated with an artistic touch, filled with local art and culture. I slept like a king with all my windows and doors open to the sounds of waves crashing, a salty breeze and birds singing. And don't get me started on the food. Genesis is your in-house culinary QUEEN. She prepared local delights from fresh caught mahi, garlic tostones and coconut rice just to name a few. One night, Nelson stepped in to make us a full "Parrillada" meat on the grill, which he had set up on tables out on the sand next to the ocean. That night he prepared a giant bomb fire that lit up the night for hours. And of course you have what feels like miles of beach all to yourself. The warm clear water extends at a shallow depth where you can sit and enjoy a cold beer, go for a morning swim, or a sunset dip. As you can probably feel, I really LOVE this place and can't wait to go back. I want to thank Anabella for being a stellar host and allowing us to make memories in her beautiful home. Can't wait to come back. Also, send my love to Lara and Sola, the house dogs. They are the ereything:)))

Fantastic house and service

The service offered by Nelson, Genesis and Santa was outstanding. The house is much nicer than the pictures and the location is great. The only downside are the mosquitoes.

Christmas on the beach

The house, location, beach and pool allowed our multi-generational family of 13, ages 2-67 to have a fabulous Christmas and New Years vacation together. Nelson, the "butler" was the BEST and responded to every request (with a smile) including the multiple meal times for the young and the old. He went above and beyond; providing a decorated Christmas tree; bringing us dinner on the beach; grilling fish and lobster from the local market on the open fire; lighting bonfires on the beach; guiding us on market purchases; and freely offering local information and advice. We always felt safe and looked after by Nelson. He was a very appreciated and happy part of our stay. The initially immaculate house did suffer over time with insufficient cleaning and unchanged linens - finally we asked. There was a lack of hot water and dry, clean beach towels. The free run of the geese in the yard and the house pets (dogs and cats) plus rain likely lead to excessive mosquitoes and flees which did torment us all and affected where we chose to sit or eat. The online listing could be updated. It indicated there was a SUP (damaged and did not appear), ping pong table (no net), and trampoline (in questionable state). The basket of sand toys for the kids was appreciated and we did add to it including 2 small boogie boards for the surf, which incidentally was fabulous for all ages. The tree house needed repair and was located in swarms of mosquitoes. The 6th bedroom in a separate structure on the non beach side of the house was not appropriate for our young children, and the adults preferred the luxury of the bedrooms and bathrooms in the house. The requested crib did not appear. We did rent a car as suggested and it was well used to get to Las Terrenas. The restaurant El Porto and Mosquito Bar - about 1 km. down the beach were fun to walk to. The beach was truly out of a tropical isle photo book, lined with coconut palms, with almost no development and very swim-able surf. It was spectacular for long walks (to town) and swimming. Local kite surfing provided lots of entertainment. Our meals were prepared for us by Santa and Nelson and there was always an abundance of good food including the local specialty of pork for Christmas. Overall our stay at Casa Paraiso was a fabulous experience. The positive certainly outweighed the negative and our memories are wonderful. Anabella has a beautiful home and we thank her for sharing it with us.

We had a lovely weekend at Paradise House. It is beautifully decorated and invites you to want to sit and enjoy every corner of the house. The kitchen is fully furnished and the staff is well trained to attend the most demanding of needs. Our big family of 15 had the most amazing weekend in this beautiful beachfront villa. We had a 5 star hotel experience!!!! I would definetely come back!!!

Best house in all Las Terrenas and Portillo area!

This is by far the best house and the best location which you can have at Las Terrenas. We have gone to las Terrenas many times and stayed at several properties and at different locations in the area, but Anabella's house is by far the best of all we have seen. There is no better area of beach in all Las Terrenas and Portillo. When you first experience swimming in the ocean and put your feet on the sandy sea bottom behind the house, you know you have arrived in paradise. The property stands close enough to the town and yet apart from other houses, giving you that wonderful feeling of freedom and of being in a paradise all of your own. The house itself is a dream house. Beautifully decorated in a naive, yet very elegantly relaxed way. It is an eclectic decor, tropical and Caribbean, with Polynesian touches which include a portico, carved wood beams and even a stuffed or wooden Komodo dragon by the swimming pool. We went with our whole family, to celebrate my wife's birthday and we had a fabulous time. Our grandchildren enjoyed the swimming pool and the children playground area. It even includes a really superb treehouse! The staff was delightful. The cook, Gladys, made some wonderful dishes. We tried her Dominican breakfast of mangu, fried cheese and fried eggs, it's an experience! Working with Anabella was easy, straightforward and accommodating in a very pleasant way. We will return to this house, hopefully , many times in the future. It is a hidden gem!

Paradise indeed!!

I can only brag of my families great fortune to have found this Paradise in a Paradisaical beach ! All my family grandparents, siblings, sons and daughters, son in law, in laws and granddaughter, we ALL had a great and FANTASTIC time. The house is unique , the attention to detail, the decor is beautiful and elegant, yet not to much , the disposition of the rooms is perfect. the combination of the beach and the pool was enjoyed by all , big and small! the activities in the beach , swimming, snorkeling , kite surf (great school near by) , walking is great. The location of the house is ideal, no to close to the neighboring hotels and town of Las Terrenas, but close enough so you can enjoy the activities, stores and restaurants (many close by and great), for the older crowd many restaurants and night life too! The best for last, the owner Anabella is great!! and the staff at the house are INCREDIBLE! (this sole word describes their attention to detail in all the days we where at OUR Paradise in the Dominican Republic). I will be very happy to answer any questions. Thank you to you all from the Polanco´s from Ecuador and the Kline´s from Wisconsin!

About the host

Hosted by Anabella de Castro de Santoni

I am a 51 year old Dominican lawyer presently owning/managing a retail meat and restaurant operation in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I am married with 2 kids. I love to cook, and travel or just sit down with friends in front of the sea.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the area many years ago. In 2003, we had the opportunity to find the perfect spot to build a family house that everybody loves so much, we called it "Casa Paraíso" or Paradise House.

What makes this property unique

It is one of the best spots for swimming, snorkeling, walking, lounging or kite surfing. It is near the village of Las Terrenas with all its european influences in good restaurants, and markets, but far enough for it to be quiet and private.
