A 💎 gem!!

I arrived a little late. The owners left the keys for me to get in. Bertha stopped by to see if I needed anything. I had their contact information if I needed anything. The bungalow was nestled among a lot of trees. Their pool was refreshing. The beach was a five minute walk away. Property located inside security gate. It felt very safe. The beach was clean. The water was clear. This was a great spot for two people! I parked outside their gate. This was convenient and very close. Their price was very reasonable. Yes, I would stay in the future with no hesitation.

Close to the beach

The place is good. It is very close to the beach and actually quite quiet. I think the sleeping the "3 people" advertisement is a bit of a stretch; but did not affect me as I was "solo". The only interaction I had with the hosts was Sonya (the daughter). She helped me out (big time) during a "senior" moment. The mosquitos were quite bad on the deck in front of the house...but this of course had nothing to do with the house itself. The house has everything you need and the cost is right. Oh, maybe some coffee cups would be nice... Thanks for the accommodations.

Like a second home

Upon arrival I felt welcome immediately and knew I had made the right choice for my solo 2 week stay. Grounds are so pretty with orchids and hibiscus and song birds to wake up to. The casita had everything I needed and was comfortable with just ceiling fans, any issues were minor and dealt with rapidly.. Pool area is very pretty and calming. Walk to the beach in mere minutes, as well as many restos. Again, it is the hospitality of the property owners, who are lovely, as well as the Dominican people that I love most, so will be back in April. If you want tranquility and a non-resort experience stay here!

Private, and lovely

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely little bungalow. It is just steps away from the beach, and a close walk to the grocery store for supplies. It has a lovely pool and garden, and is very secluded and safe from other properties.The host Michael is very accommodating and helpful .There are several nice restaurants nearby for dinner.The beach is a mix of locals and tourists and small beach cafes and bars, quite quiet.

Perfect home away from home !

Michael and Bertha were wonderful hosts and problem solvers .... always available to help and happy to look at ways they can improve on making your stay great . As a person with a disability I needed a no stair place close to the beach and this was it ! I also had friends who lived close by. Quiet, comfortable, cool ( rarely used the air) ... with water delivery, laundry, pool, a good fridge and freezer, a generator ( barely could tell when the power was out ), and super wifi for those of us who still need to work ! I enjoyed being at home, patting Blacky their super friendly dog, and resting .... grateful for Nancy who cleaned my place and changed sheets and towels too.... loved it ! It was perfect for me! Thank you !

Great Great Great

This bungalow is located in a private secluded property within a lush tropical garden. Great place for a couple who want privacy, peace and quiet. The bungalow is very clean, and has an a/c in the bedroom for those hot nights. There is a kitchenette, and nice size living room with T.V. and wi-fi. Bertha the owner is the nicest person, and met all our requests with a big smile. There also is a swimming pool which is within the property. Overall this was a pleasant two week stay. And I do highly recommend.

The bungalow was great. It was clean and accommodating.

The bungalow was nice. Blackee, the resident German Shepard was always there to make you feel safe. Everything is within walking distance. I wish the price of the bungalow was a little more to offset running the air conditioner. Other than that, it was perfect.

Beautiful!!!!

We stayed 1 week at Michael Hanh's Garden Bungalow & had an amazing vacation ( despite some days of torrential rain, can't control the weather) - the bungalow is really nice, plenty of room and the kitchen is well stocked. The garden is stunning, love Blackie their dog, you can bet you feel safe with him there :) Michael & Berta are amazing hosts - I left my thyroid medication at home and was worried how I could get it, well I didn't need to worry, Berta asked me the drug name & dosage and went to the pharmacy - explained to them my situation and viola she brings me the medication. Saved my trip experience to say the least. The property is so peaceful, beach is gorgeous, and the beach bars & local people are so friendly & helpful, we were offered rides when walking to the store in the rain many times. I can't wait to return for another vist. Thanks very much. Joe & Janet

Quiet Perfection

This bungalow sits perfectly on the property offering privacy and freedom. The beach is so close that I never used the pool! There are plenty of places to eat on the beach and stores to buy groceries. I stayed alone, but it is definitely big enough for a couple. A very relaxing space to spend time in. Thanks!

Cozy

Great NEW, cozy, bungalow. All of the amenities you need for a relaxed vacation. The owner is very attentive, and the property is filled with beautiful vegetation throughout the landscaping. The bungalow is located within a very short walk of the beach, many restaurants, and 2 convenience stores. I've went on holiday in the Costambar area twice a year over the previous 5 years, and this is by far the best place I've stayed. I immediately booked my second stay for later this month with Michael. I never write reviews, but this place was worth the effort.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Hahn

We, a German/Dominican couple and our 2 teenage daughters live on the property and we will personally assist you how to make the best out of your holiday. We live in Costambar since 23 years and we are ready to share our experience with you.

Why they chose this property

We all love the beach and Costambar offers us a international community close to town and all amenities in walking distance.

What makes this property unique

We start designing our tropical garden even before we started to build the house. We love our tropical garden and the pool area with the gazebo. It is a relaxing place and we do our best to maintain it as a very private and quiet home to us and our guests.
