Great cook, location and staff!!
Overall the property is an open air property! Right across the street from the beach, with a huge lawn and plenty of space for everybody.Our cook Blanca and her staffā€¦ was nothing short of absolutely wonderful! The kitchen in which she cooks is visible to all, and definitely needs an update. Blanca does an amazing job with what she has to work with.. The pool was not clean as upon arrival, and we were never advised of the construction next-door before arrival. The maximum amount of people that can sit comfortably at the dining table is 12 to14 people only, the balance of the group had to sit at the high chairs at the bar overlooking the kitchen. The owner was quick to respond to our many issues. Overall, a great stay!

Beautiful Spot
This is a great house for a big group! We were here with 14 family members ages 16-90. The space was large enough to give everyone their own space if they wanted it, but could accommodate everyone at the dinner table or in the living room. The best part of the house was the amazing staff. Blanca, who was the house manager and cook, was both a talented chef and a joy to be around. The rest of the staff was also both friendly and efficient. The location was great with the beach right across the road. All in all a very pleasant stay and highly recommended for a large group.

Spring Break 2024
The GREAT: This was an awesome experience. We had 16 in our party of which 8 were teens. The layout of this place was perfect for our needs. The ability to walk to most places we needed to go was perfect though we did rent a golf cart to make grocery shopping easier and to get to surfing at Playa Bonita. Blanca and staff were outstanding and I HIGHLY recommend you have Blanca prepare meals for you. What a spread of food she puts on and there were always leftovers to snack on. The not so Great: And to be fair this has nothing to do with the host, the place or the local staff!! The time of year we chose meant that we were there in the beginning of the rainy season. It rained most days, but two days in particular were extreme to say the least. Locals said they had not seen that much in 50 years. At least 3 of the bedrooms had water coming in from the windows or from under the doors. The swim up kitchen/bar area was completely under water. Other than those two days the rest of the days were just intermittent showers with sunshine and were PERFECT! Go to Las Terrenas and stay here if you have big party. Go before it becomes the next Punta Cana or La Romana and looses it's charm.

Spectacular
Our family has rented large villas for decades at Christmas in the Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii. This visit was an all time favorite. The villa self is spectacular with large bedrooms, many separate living areas and open architecture. The pool is large and well maintained. The beach just across the road extends with white sand and gentle surf for over a mile with numerous bars, restaurants and beach clubs. We opted to have Blanca prepare breakfast and dinner each night. The food was delicious and she was very responsive to our interests. While the owner was in Europe he was available by phone for advice. Other members of the extensive staff were most responsive.

Spacious home with beautiful view
Relaxing home but not enough to do in the area. We did rent golf carts and rode around but very congested. Walked to Kikiā€™s to watch football. Kids took a waterfall hike but it was very difficult. All of us rode an old boat to a deserted island for lunch which was ok but nothing really to do there. We were very disappointed that there was no snorkeling because of a recent storm The house is definitely not handicapped accessible with no handrails nor is it really geared for Americans who like there creature comforts. The lights are dim and dinner was impossible to see. Blanca cooked nice meals but they were often cold and we couldnā€™t see what we were eating. We had to get our own water out of the kitchen refrigerator to take to our bedroom which C was inconvenient. The A/C needed to be turned off during the day or whenever you werenā€™t in the room. At night we wanted to play games but there was no game table or enough light. The TV was not in a place easily seen so only my grandson tried watching it. The kids enjoyed playing billiards in the game room and I iced the pool but again it was hard to get in because of no handrails. The beds were low to the ground in some sort of platform and were very hard with only one blanket to share for two people. The owner was very kind to bring me an extra mattress to make my be higher. So all in all it was a nice home but quite a few little things that made it not perfect. If you like getting away to a new culture and experiencing rustic

Wonderful stay in paradise!
My family and I rented this home for a week to get away from the MN winters and enjoy some sunshine! The house did not disappoint. It was very unique and clean. We loved the open concept of the house. The outdoor seating and pool/pool area made the house even better. It was a great place to relax and read a book or dive in the pool with a drink and float the day away. The beach was beautiful and the chairs the staff provided was an added bonus. We loved how empty the beach was and how close it was to the front of the property. All the members of the staff were so friendly and happy. I will definitely brush up on my Spanish speaking ability before heading back so I can communicate with the locals/staff more. Everyone was very friendly along the beach and any restaurant/bar we went to as well. The meal Blanca made for us was amazing! Even though we didnā€™t need much help/service from the staff throughout the week, they were all still very attentive and checked in on us, which made us feel welcomed and safe. We hope to be back in the future. Las Terrenas is a beautiful area and we are glad we went there and rented this house. Erik was always more than helpful and is a very nice host! He answered all of our questions and called to check in on the first full day we were there. We all hope to be back some day!

The Perfect Paradise!!!!
Well, how do you explain paradise in only 1500 characters? We had 5 couples on this trip, several who were celebrating their 60th Birthday! It started off with Willy picking us up at the airport, he was awesome! Then we arrive at the Beautiful Villa Lomaninos and are greeted with hugs and smiles from the staff! Blanca then took us on a tour of the Villa to make sure everything was in order. The pictures of the Villa on the VRBO site are spot on, just Beautiful! We ran to the beach to put our toes in the sand and watch the amazing sunset! The staff then called us to our first surprise dinner which was flat out amazing! We highly suggest having Blanca and the staff prepare all your meals! The cost for the cook and the meals are extremely reasonable and the food and presentation are amazing! We enjoyed every meal that was prepared for us! Including the fabulous Pina Coladas that we were treated too before every dinner! The Villa and the property are so comfortable and inviting! Everyone had their own private space and bathroom and the common areas had plenty of room for our whole group! The property was cleaned every day by the amazing staff! Blanca and Yajaira helped us to celebrate the birthdays with a cake, music and dancing! Staff was so accommodating with all our requests.The guards, Quenold and Tony were super attentive and always helpful! The communication with Erik the property owner was always so easy, quick and very informative. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Lovely House , Some comments to improve
Dear Erik, first of all thank you for you flexibility and communication with us. We were happy to stay in the house, the house for us was amazing in terms of spaces, different areas, fresh , rooms. we will like to add some comments to be consider Ammenities: Well equipped but I will add: - New Cooler, (the one there is broken) and cooler with wheels so we can walk in to the beach. - Beach Bucket ice, as you know Ice melt very fast and the bucket ice we had was from metal and didn't have a top to close, there some special options in amazon for beach. - a Nice Cheese table to put some appetitive we were using the one of the kitchen that they use to cut. Staff: Staff people were very kind and smiling always.But we have some comments: - We do not consider Blanca as a CHEF, she is a cooker that help with good taste but for us her and Yajaira were the same role in the kitchen, all the meals we let her do were not proper cook ex: Fish twice over cook Pasta overcook desserts she only knew how to make one version and we couldn't eat it. In the group we got some people that like to cook and for every meal they we were giving directions and cooking with Blancas help, we did not let her do anything else by her own, only local food like: plantain, yuca etc. So my recommendation is not to sell her as a CHEF just as a cooker and also as a housekeeper. - They were not proactive, we need every day in the morning, please put the table , take out table etc they did it but we always have to tell them. - It is important that Blanca communicates better about their meals, resting schedules etc, we needed to guess what was happening because of their faces. Cleaning Staff: they were OK, there was a little bit mess in terms of schedule, Sundays attendance etc blanca solve it a try to cover all as well as yajai. it is important to be clear that they need to cover the house behind. - Both Fridge has a fish smell. (terrible) Beach: It is important to be clear that from Frid-Sun it is a noise street, beach is pack of people and music all day and night. It was not a problem at all but It was surprisingly for us. Chairs were always at the beach but the last 4 days there were there but we need to put them all next to each other since it was a tower of chairs. Pool: was clean but we need to tell every 2 days to blanca to have some one to clean it because got dirty. Hope this will be constructive, anyhow we had a wonderful stayed and fun. Cheers.

Perfect Family Getaway
We stayed for a week to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. We had 5 adults, 2 seniors, 2 teens and 2 under ten. It was perfect. House was gorgeous. The outdoor living area and kitchen were spectacular and the bedrooms were perfect. Pool was cleaned every day and beach is right in front of the house. Great snorkeling, swimming and kayaking. Excellent restaurants in town are a short walk or drive away. We cannot say enough about this house or the Las Terrenas area. It is beautiful and the people are so kind and welcoming. The staff at the home cooked immaculate meals and kept the home clean and in order. So much to do in the area! I would return and stay here in a heartbeat!

Paradise for a week!
We were looking for a getaway for lots of family (12 adults and 4 children, including a toddler), considering lots of spots in the Caribbean. Iā€™m so glad we settled on Las Terrenas and Erikā€™s beautiful house! Everything was as presented on the site (and better), and Erik is amazingly helpful, putting us in touch with Frank Bat and Optima tours for transfers and excursions (excellent), making sure we had cooks for the week and that they were aware of one member of the party with Celiac (fantastic), and checking in with us from time to time. Four other staff members kept up the grounds, kept an eye on things at night, and cleaned. Erik answered many questions along the way and was always very responsive. Las Terrenas itself is beautiful, with plenty to do right around the property (pool, beach, snorkel, shop, bars/restaurants). The only caution Iā€™d offer is that Las Terrenas is a popular spot, and the area around the property is very active. Even though it was technically low season during our stay, Friday/Saturday saw more folks on the beach and late night revelers (until 2-3am). Still, far calmer, less crowded, and a much friendlier environment than our experiences in Punta Cana and La Romana. Highly recommend Las Terrenas if youā€™re coming to the Dominican Republic! Many thanks to Erik for his hospitality!

We had an excellent stay in this villa. We were 4 families and 17 pax and the villa is really wide enough for such a big group. Very nice location with direct access to the beach, a bit aside from the village center so calmer, very helpful and discrete staff with excellent cook !, and very supportive and reactive landlord whom you can easily contact would you need any piece of advice or help to organize your stay.

An absolute gem!
We came here with family for vacation and had an absolutely incredible time. The property is stunning and has such unique architecture. Most of the living area is open air and has gorgeous views of the beach that is right across the house. All the rooms are spacious. The support staff (led by Blanca) were very lovely and helped us with anything we needed. We had them cook meals for us for some of our stay and every meal was delicious and fresh. The location of the house is great. Many beach restaurants/bars within walking distance. Beach that is across from the house is calm with clear water and great snorkeling. We were sad to leave and would love to come here again sometime. We will treasure our memories from here forever and highly recommend this beautiful spot.

Overall everything was great. Some of the bathrooms drains from the shower would get clogged causing small flood. House is beautiful and the staff was amazing. As for the staff I would say being more alert of what we are running low in terms of juice, water, ice. We all enjoy the house very clean and beautiful. I will recommend it to everyone I know.

We visited Las Terrenes with a group of 12 friends. The property and beach were clean an ideal for groups. On the beach you can snorkel and even spear fish were we caught Octopus for dinner. The staff was excellent and always there for anything including making guacamole for an afternoon snack to picking up charcoal for an evening BBQ. We also highly recommend renting ATV's to explore the town and area beaches. We look forward to a return trip!

Villa Lomaninos exceeded all of our expectations! The property, location, and staff were perfect!
We recently enjoyed a one week stay at Villa Lomaninos, and it could not have been more perfect! There were 7 couples, celebrating our 50th birthdays, and this property seemed to be exactly what we were looking for. We were not sure what to expect with an "open-air" style home, but it could not have been any more comfortable. The pool, outdoor dining / entertainment area, and grounds were perfect for celebrating each evening after enjoying the beautiful beach. As wonderful as the property was, the staff may have been the biggest surprise. After a long day of travel, we asked that dinner be prepared, along with our Sunday meals. Blanca and Amada greeted us upon our arrival and were the best chefs and hosts that we could have dreamed of; we fell in love with them almost instantly! After lunch on Sunday, all of us agreed that we would have them prepare all of our meals, with the exception of two evenings out. The food, presentation, and beverages exceeded anything you might find at the finest restaurants! The beach just in front of the house was gorgeous, with crystal clear waters, almost no waves, and shaded palm trees to rest under. Several afternoons, we wandered just a short distance down the beach to a few beachfront bar / restaurants, and enjoyed some mojitos, daiquiris, pina coladas, and El Presidentes! At no time did we ever feel unsafe, and we enjoyed meeting many other travelers and some locals! Each day, the cleaning staff, including Giselle (who sang beautifully while she cleaned) and Juanda (with her infectious smile / dimple), kept the home spotless and were a joy to interact with. 24 hour security provided by Quenold and Tony gave us peace of mind, although nothing we saw gave us the impression that there would be any security issues. Finally, I cannot write a complete review without thanking Erik and Fieke! Certainly, sharing this beautiful home with us is a gift in and of itself, but the level of hospitality and care that they showed us from the initial booking through the end our stay was second to none. Erik arranged for our transportation to and from the airport, and that car service provided great service to us throughout our stay (thank you, Willie!). Erik checked in with us several times during our stay to make sure we were satisfied and to check if we needed anything. Despite being thousands of miles away, in Europe, Erik and Fieke took care of us just as if they were next door. We will DEFINITELY return!!!

A week in paradise
We stayed at Erik and Fieke's property for a week with 6 other couples last November. The house is truly unique there is not a window anywhere, not even a front door. You basically walk up right from the beach, past the pool, up 5 steps and you land in wide open huge ceiling living room. Not even the bedrooms have glass windows, just shutters with fly screens and ceiling fans, but no worries, this system worked really well for our stay. The beach is quiet, the little road that runs between the beach and the house has very light traffic, and the guards and staff are there 24 hours in case you need anything. We were truly spoiled by Margarita and Blanca, they cleaned and cooked every day. There are many great food options in Las Terrenas, but we mostly ate at the house since every meal was just fantastic. The cost for this is hardly anything, and totally worth it. We started every day with breakfast with eggs, baguette, croissants, bacon, and freshly squeezed juices and frappes, omelets, you get the idea. We would then give Blanca cash to buy groceries, which she turned into delicious meals. Erik and Fieke welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a thorough walkthrough of the house. They are very proud of what they built, and they should be, it's a real gem. It's really open air, which is amazing, but you can turn on the AC in the rooms if needed. We hardly used it, I only mention it since you have to pay extra for it (our fee was maybe $15 for the whole week). Tours are easy to organize from there, and the town is a 10-minute walk on the beach away.

About the host

Hosted by Erik en Fieke Hertzberger

Host profile image
We are an internationally oriented, originally Dutch couple, having lived in a number of countries before discovering and falling in love with Las Terrenas at the first visit in 2003.
We like the authentic, yet international environment, its wonderful climate and above all the very kind and hospitable local people. Also our grown up children and their children like to come to Las Terrenas regularly which is why we have built a new beachfront house next to the existing house.
We are quite busy with the two houses but also have our own company, importing various goods from Europe.
