About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"The Lost City" with Sandra Bullock was filmed here. 5 min. from Las Galeras

We are just 5 minutes from Las Galeras and can help arrange tours to the beach of Fronton, Madama, Rincon, La Playita, Cayo Levantado, the El Limon waterfalls and other area attractions. He can also make sure you find the supermarkets, banks and restaurants. Since he has worked at the Cove for nearly 20 years, he knows the area well. All my apartments are at the Cove, a small group of beach front, ocean view apartments, just 200 feet from the ocean.
This modern apartment serves as your home base from which you can explore the peninsula. Arrange deep sea diving and sport fishing excursions with The Dive Academy. You can snorkel at some of the most beautiful beaches, including Playa Rincon, Playa Las Galeras, El Valle, and Playa Fronton. Seasoned scuba divers can explore shipwrecks from throughout the centuries.

Come see the humpback whales breach out of the water, from January to March, each year, when they come to mate and have their offspring!!!

In between you and the ocean is the pool, with a swim up bar. Grill local fish on the charcoal barbeque, or stay inside and cook in the full kitchen. It features a view of Samana bay, and a private beach, only a few steps away.

Since I own two other apartments, I can accommodate groups of up to 12 people.

A week of paradise
The condo is amazing. You are secluded and away from everything. Patrick was awesome to work with and Coco was amazing! They both assured we had everything we wanted…Coco even picked up some bananas for me. We loved hanging out at the pool and visiting with other guests. It was a great week of reconnecting with my husband. Even got one of the puzzles out and did it together.

The only issues which I encountered with this property were a check-in. The property is located behind a gated community. I was told that the color of the door to get into the community was red. We spent about an hour looking for the red door, but it was actually black. The phone number of the contact person which I was given was disconnected. Luckily, we stopped at the black door since it was the only gated community around.

Excellent, quiet, and very clean place
It's an excellent choice for people who wants to be on a quiet place with a (almost) private beach for themselves and a beautiful swiming pool. Is a 5 minute drive from the town of Las Galeras with their beautiful beach (same name) and little but very good restaurants. I think i have almost 10 years coming and is wonderful every time i come.

Excellent place!!
I was there for a short time with my friends but I wish I made arrangements to stay longer. I needed more time to visit some of the beautiful area beaches. At first I was skeptical because where can you find a two bedroom two bath condo right on the ocean, 100 feet to the beach for about $100? Great deal, nice apartment and great location, will be coming back!
