Wonderful Experience for the entire family

Our family stayed here and it was perfect for our family of 4; two adults and two teenagers. It was in a convenient location to the beach, town, shopping and restaurants. It was comfortable and had all the conveniences of home. The owners were great and prepared us for our trip by giving us a lot of information before our arrival with recommendations of things to do, places to eat, sites to see and guided us when we had questions.

A stay in paradise!

Words cannot describe how wonderful Casa Orquidea is, you have to experience it! The accommodations easily feel like a second home. The view and community are wonderful, secure, and very friendly. The support staff including Carlos the property manager went above and beyond to ensure our stay went smoothly, and even helped us find new places to explore and eat. It was very tough to leave such a heaven on earth. Would highly recommend for long and short stays.

LT homestay-Outstanding Experience

It's been almost two months since we returned & the kids are still talking about this experience. Great food, precious people, incredible views and sights-simply a beautiful country. We could have certainly stayed several more days-there was just so much to see & do we simply ran out of time. I’ve been on several international trips but first time to plan for family of five. Kristy answered numerous emails during the planning process, up until the trip & even a few during our stay. She patiently answered all of my questions without any hesitation, was very timely with her replies & gave honest feedback without a hint of frustration. We kept to her suggestions/advice most of the time. The Vant home is located in a great spot, with a fabulous view. Being located at the end of the road & not located on a through street/road was outstanding. It is obvious they took detailed care in choosing their house. The condition of the home-beautiful wood floors, comfortable beds, large patio & hot tub & the spacious bedrooms were top-notch. 2.5 baths were also a life-saver. We spent most of our time eating out and on a few occasions cooked a meal or two in the house. LT had flying ants after the rain but they went away quickly. Food choices were outstanding-you name it they had it-all excellent choices. Sailing club at the bottom of the hill-coldest beer in all of LT! Rent the Rav4 from the housekeeper. Avoid the rental co at the airport or in town. This made things so easy & we felt completely comfortable driving around LT-although driving is a bit of an experience in and of itself! Only other suggestion we would be to check out the other smaller airports closer to LT. We flew into SD & it required some planning & time to make arrangements for the 2.5-3 hours drive. We are convinced that our decision to come to the DR, Las Terrenas & the Vant home simply could not have been better.

Beautiful home in a Gorgeous Setting

We spent a week at this property and had a wonderful time. It is a beautiful place to stay when visiting Las Terranes. The house has gorgeous views and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Once we learned how to navigate the area, it is pretty crazy driving through Las Terranes (we were there at a busy time) you can head to the surrounding beaches, Playa Bonita and Playa Colon, which are breathtaking. The home is walking distance to Las Ballenas Beach, which is so pretty. We paddle boarded and snorkeled there. Unfortunately, we missed seeing the humpback whales as the whale watching is January 15th - March 15th, we were so close, but no. The best meal we had was at a French restaurant in one of the shopping centers, sorry I do not remember the name but also had a good meal at La Terrasse. If you plan on snorkeling, I would bring equipment with you on your trip, as you can pull over at many pretty spots to snorkel. We surfed at Playa Bonita where we rented boards and our teenage daughters took some surf lessons.There is a service called Komida which is basically an Uber Eats. The agency who helps with the check in and anything you need when you are visiting is excellent. They took care of any problems immediately, we only had a few, hot water heater needed to be lit and an issue working the tv. I definitely recommend this home when visiting this beautiful place.

I would definitely go back! A gorgeous house!

We spent 2 weeks in the DR with 5 nights in this gorgeous home in the hills overlooking the beach. I LOVED the house so much and can definitely see myself going back there even though I prefer to explore more of the world than return to vacation destinations already visited. But, the house was so beautifully appointed and comfortable that I find myself thinking about it often now that I'm home. If you are looking for indoor/outdoor living, this is the spot. And the Master bedroom views are to die for. Beds are comfy. BUT - please note that the owner does not allow guests to use the laundry facilities. Housekeeping comes and will wash your clothing off premises, so there is back-up. Super minor issue but you should be aware of it if you plan on doing all your laundry on your own. 2 words...Stay here...you'll love it!

Amazing, better even than the pictures

We were a group of four - two couples - and this property was incredible. The view was even better than captured in the photos - truly idyllic. The large outside table was incredible for breakfasts each morning. The kitchen was fun to work in and the house in immaculate condition. We didn't use the air conditioning but were comfortable with fans/bug nets (would recommend using them). The property managers were professional and helpful. The walk down the hill to Las Bellenas beach was 5 minutes (a little more going up), and the beach was beautiful. We rented kayaks from the Sailing Club right there and ate at two wonderful beach side restaurants within walking distance of the property. It's 1.75 miles to walk into the "downtown" area with bars/music, which we did one night and taxied home. The road/driveway is definitely extremely steep/narrow, but we were able to navigate it with our rental car (suzuki vitara). Would love to come back one day!

Beautiful View!

We enjoyed a wonderful four days at your lovely beach villa! Loved the outstanding ocean view (especially at sunset), the outdoor dining, the garden, walking along the beach to town, and the feel of your Mediterranean-style home. The huge master bedroom had a perfect cross breeze, which made for a comfortable night's sleep (and afternoon reading). Your property manager was very helpful and I would recommend hiring your housekeeper for at least one dinner in. We had an exceptional traditional dinner with Mahi Mahi caught that day, and although I don't speak Spanish, we had a fun conversation using Google Translate! Also, the highways are much nicer than the tour books lead you to believe.

Incredible escape!!

We stayed for one week at the Villa Orquidea and fell in love with the home, the village, and the people of Las Terrenas. It was incredible to have a beautiful kitchen to cook at home, and to dine overlooking the ocean. It is spacious enough have a large group of people. But we enjoyed having the entire house to ourselves. The location of the house allows for seclusion and privacy while being a short walk from the amazing beach, and the restaurants in town. We also chose to have massages in the house each morning by Amada. What a perfect way to start the day! We will definitely be returning soon to Las Terrenas and this unique home away from home. Many thanks to Kristy for sharing this wonderful place with us. Anna and Eli

Paradise found

This house was the perfect location for our two week stay in LT in July 2014. The breeze from the ocean made the house feel pleasant even on the hottest days, the views from the large terrace onto lush vegetation with the ocean in the background were breath taking and the house itself well designed, fully equipped and tastefully decorated. Everything looked just like the pictures (or even better). The trip into town for food and entertainment was quick in the vehicle we rented from the housekeeper - definitely recommended. We have stayed at other vacation rentals in LT before but (finally) have found the best possible vacation home for our family.

SUPERB VACATION

What an incredible vacation this one week was at Las Terrenas at Kristy and John's house. I had a blast with my 5 year old son alongside a close friend. We've loved every minute spent in this positive energy injecting house. Lovely views, tasteful simple interior design, large kitchen, incredible balcony, duplex comfort, lovely house keeper and safe feeling provided by guards. Gorgeous beaches are all near by. This place has a harmonious marriage between a nature and civilization. We can not stop talking about it and we can not wait to go back again and again and again. Do not miss out going to Playa Bonita and Playa Coson for the best beach walk in this universe. Our new favorite easy to get to from New York destination is Casa Orquidea-Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic. Viva Casa Orquidea, promise to wait for us.

Great value, beautiful house, quiet location!

Great house in quiet location on top of a hill overlooking the Atlantic. House has beautiful hardwood floors and newly renovated bathrooms. Everything is very cozy and comfortable. The patio overlooking a tropical forest and the ocean is amazing. It's a 10-minute walk to the beach, however, car is a must to go to restaurants and grocery stores in las Terrenas.

Beautiful Hillside Location

Set well above the beach, the beautiful home commands an striking view of the north shore. When morning showers sweep across the ocean, you'll have an excellent opportunity for an iconic view of rainbows over the tropical ocean. Kristy, and all the Las Terrenas folks were friendly and responsive. Dinner on the patio, and plenty of massages in the exquisite master bedroom were highlights. We had a lovely stay.

GORGEOUS

overall our stay was lovely . House was fully equipped to most part. The house is very centrally located to wonderful beaches near by and restaurants. The house is on cliff so be mindful to have a walk down on rocky road for all nearby beaches . We were total of six adults and two kids so two guest room were little too small with kids otherwise they were ok. Host is been extremely helpful in arranging cook, babysitter and basic details prior to our trip. Thanks for your help Kristy. You have beautiful house.

Family reunion in paradise

Wonderful week in a lovely home in a beautiful setting and quaint city. The house was beautifully furnished with many amenities and the yard was professionally landscaped. One of our favorite features was the spacious balcony patio where we congregated each morning and evening to enjoy the ocean views. The beach was a short 5-6 minute walk from the house and from there you could walk into the town of Las Terranas. The snorkeling around the point was great and we saw a variety of fish including cuddle fish, octopus and lion fish. We would definitely return to this property but probably not during the heat of the summer as there was no air conditioning.

Beautiful and amazing

Our stay was was fabulous, the house is absolutely breathtaking, the view is unimaginable. Even if we had a little mishap with the stolen well pump we didn't feel any discomfort or inconvenience , Thelma responded quickly. You have great people working for you. We did bbqs at the house, went to the fisherman's market and made langostina , we went deep sea fishing and made the catch of the day on the bbq with a wild mushroom risotto. We always felt safe.We went out a few times, and our greatest discovery was the the Collonial the best quality and price, the Troika great home made pelmeni and Nikolai the owner is one heck of a guy. The Thalassa (a bit overpriced), Mi Corason (expensive) but great food and service, best cheese burger One love surf shack, typicial and a bit scary at the same time Luis. Overall, the sunsets at the house, the view while sipping a pina colada in the dipping pool made our holidays fabulous. thank you for letting us share your house.

Perfect!!!!

We would highly recommend this house, as well as this lovely area to enjoy a very special holiday. We found it to be very beautiful, clean, comfortable, safe, with the most fantastic view!! The pool on the deck was a favorite spot, as well as the large deck and eating area. The bedrooms, especially the master bedroom blew us away!!! The walk to the beach was just down the hill, and the beach was beautiful and we enjoyed the swimming, sun bathing, and walking. In addition, we enjoyed being able to walk to various areas on the beach to enjoy several very yummy lunches, as well as a few cold brews!!! The local fishermen are close by as well, and that was a highlight, being able to choose your fresh fish to bring home and cook on the BBQ on the deck!! In addition, we felt well looked after by the staff and the security personnel. Everyone was friendly and helpful and that was appreciated very much. Ah but all good things must come to an end---we had to leave but it was a holiday of a lifetime, and this house created just the right atmosphere!!!

The perfect place to enjoy the samana peninsula!

Having traveled all over the Dominican Republic I can honestly say this place beats them all hands down. The proximity to Las Terrenas, the most beautiful and uncrowded(almost desserted) beach of playa las ballenas, the comfort and elegance and most fantastic view as well as the helpful and friendly staff and owner make this place special. The villa is nicely designed and furnished and has all of the amenities to make your vacation, from the large collection of dvd's, games gallore(watch out for the maid's daughter in dominoes she is a pro!), internet connection and safety of a gated community, views and ocean breeze truely are amazing. These spacious quarters are perfect for families or couples travelling together and do not miss the chance of a home cooked meal by Thelma, you will not be disappointed. Thanks again to Kristy and "crew" for a wonderful experience, Ben and Felicia Johnson

What a marvelous experience!

My wife and I are Dominicans, with 2 small kids (11, and 9). When we decided to spend this last Christmas and New Year Eve in las Terrenas, our main concern was to find a good place where we could accommodate not only ourselves, but also my in-laws. I may say that by having the chance to rent this place, it made the whole trip quite an experience; it’s a superb staying. The house has a marvelous Ocean view with a lot of trees completing the setting. It simply makes you want to stay there forever. While getting into the house might strike you the first time (the road is not in good condition, so thanks God we traveled in our SUV), after you set your foot in the property and put all your bags in place, you cant resist to fall in love with it. The beach is so close that the location is near to be perfect. With several movies and good books all around (I enjoyed “Reading Lolita in Tehran”), you will feel at home in the most beautiful place of our country.

Don't hesitate. Just go!

I may have returned to Brooklyn, but in my mind I'm still at Casa Orquedea... sitting on the terrace watching my friends dance, doing early morning yoga against the backdrop of an endless vista, or grilling freshly caught Dorado under the stars. You truly feel like you are all alone atop this hill, with your own private ocean lined with palms... but not too alone because rest assured the guards were always looking out for us upon our return home from drinks at Mosquito Bar or dancing at La Bodega. Adventurous treks in the rain to Playa Bonita were well worth the trip... a beach I will never ever forget. Oh Las Terrenas, with your kind people and kinder lifestyle, there wasn't a day in your presence that I didn't want to fall in love and stay forever! I look forward to my return (via motoconcho of course) to this idyllic place. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Perfect vacation off the mainstream tourism

Are you looking for an oasis where vacation can start on the first day? Then this home is the perfect place to stay in!! Immediately when you open the door you can relax. Built in a natural looking shape with a DR-beach-type-interior design the house is very authentic and cosy. With its two levels you have the upper- level to hang out indoor in the spacious living room and open kitchen that is full equipped. On the lower level there are nicely designed bedrooms. On the upper –level outdoors on the big terrace you can enjoy a gorgeous (almost 180 degree) view over palmtrees right onto the open sea. There is also a Jacuzzi and a big built-in-bench on the terrace where you can relax under the stars. On the big grill you can have a BBQ with local specialities bought in local grocery markets in Las Terrenas where you get a feeling for the friendly local people and the nice atmosphere of the town that still seems untouched from the big mainstream tourism industry. Not to mention the nightlife in Las Terrenas with salsa-music in the air and the best cocktails with fresh pineapple juice! The location of the house is perfect. On a little hill it is quiet and safe with some houses of expatriots around. In the attached garden you can look for exotic DR plants. Las Terrenas and various beaches are in walking distance and you can choose between the lonely beaches or busier ones with cafes and the best surf-waves. Taking the quad you quickly can find yourself riding through a jungle or along coffeeplantages and beaches. By the way: the owners are very nice people and I’m sure they will assist you with any help and provide you with insider-tipps like how to get to the wild waterfall of Limón!

Mi casa de Las Terrenas, mi amor.

O, my strapping Dominican rental property, our affair was too brief by tenfold. You arrested my heart, swallowed the key, and left me perplexed and paralyzed, my emotions teetering on a tropical bluff like an agentless palm tree craning high above the pale sands of Playa Bonita. Your vistas seduced; your dancing terrace ravished; your DVD collection had me striving towards dawn. Now back in the arms of my hardened spouse, Brooklyn, I wonder how I summoned the strength to depart you. But fear not: I will someday return to Las Terrenas and its swanky Mosquito Bar, its raucous La Bodega, its mouth-watering Mambo Club sirloins, and its chivalrous motoconchos and their late-night moped services. Until then, my reveries for your irrepressible cleaning woman, with whom I shared a magical Jacuzzi-side pina colada, and your intrepid nightwatchman, whose friendly ojos served us better than any motion-sensor alarm system, will have to suffice. My inevitable return (this time in a four-wheel-drive vehicle) will make our next tryst even sweller. You supply the balcony, I'll bring the rum, and the DR's starlit nights will do the rest.

Exquisite vacation house

My husband and I stayed at this house in the Dominican Republic last February and fell in love with it, it’s surroundings and location. The view from the porch where we had breakfast each morning is delightful – overlooking mango trees with the texture of palm trees in the distance against the blue of the ocean. We had privacy and comfort in the cool white interior that was a perfect respite after all of our activities at the beaches and the dancing at the clubs nearby. We loved being able to walk to the beach and the town because we like the exercise, the air and the gorgeous setting. This is a perfect vacation rental – well maintained with charming attention to details in the interior design. Just lovely.

Quiet and/ or bustle- your choice

We had the pleasure of staying in the charming home just west of las Terrenas in this private hill community in 2009. A beautiful multi- level home with many out door decks and porches, we found that from the airy and open house we had views in many directions. Just a short walk to developed beaches with amenities or to beaches where we could walk in solitude with the natural environment undeveloped.Restaurants were varied and offered both elegant and simple fare. Day time activities were abundant from walks to waterfalls, touring on quad vehicles, and dancing in many different places. People were friendly and helpful, and we found the stay there easy, relaxing and an antidote to the cold stressful winter at home. We highly recommend it.
