“My children and I fell in love with Casa Bonita! The house had a great layout and the courtyard with the pool was really nice. The location was perfect!” (From a recent guest)
“There is nothing like having your own private house and pool for your tropical island vacation. There are few private houses on Cabarete Bay and Villa Bonita is one of the nicest! It is a wonderful house with a great vibe -- it is very special! It is open and spacious and beautifully bright. The birds, flowers and trees are plentiful. Perhaps you will be here when the banana trees are ripe and you can get the organic bananas right off the tree! You will feel an incredible sense of peace and freedom here”

Villa Bonita is a beautiful 3 bedroom house for rent situated in the best development right on Cabarete Bay! It is a short term or medium term rental-Available weekly or monthly. It has its own private pool and 3 person indoor jacuzzi. Casa Bonita is in Bahia De Arena, the most desirable gated beachfront community on Cabarete Bay with 24-hour security. The house is perfectly situated in the center of the development, 60 seconds from the beach. It isn't on the perimeter, so it is away from any street noise and has a lot of privacy. There aren't many houses steps away from the real Cabarete Beach on the north shore of the Dominican Republic but Villa Bonita is one of them!
We have a private Roof-Top Deck with an Ocean and Mountain View! It is the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday or an active one. Our beach and trade winds make the perfect launch spot for kite surfing or windsurfing. You can sunbathe on the beach or sit up above under the palm trees overlooking the ocean on our neighborhood's private green space. We are in between Kite Beach and the town of Cabarete! We are also a short ten-minute drive from the surf spot of Encuentro beach. Cabarete is only 20 minutes away from the Puerto Plata International Airport. Our home is in a lovely beachfront community, which has 16 Caribbean-style houses in an extremely picturesque setting. It is a gated community with 24-hour security and a tennis court next door! You can hear the ocean waves from the house, which is only steps from the beautiful, golden-sand beach of Cabarete Bay with palm trees for shade if you wish, if not there is plenty of sun!
The village of Cabarete is spread out across the center of a gorgeous, semi-circular beach. We are a 15-minute walk along the beach or a 3 minute drive from the heart of the international town of Cabarete with its quaint restaurants, casual and fine dining, and its infamous nightlife. The distance to Cabarete is close enough for convenience but just the right distance away for enjoying the tranquility that Bahia de Arena offers. You may have heard a lot about the Dominican Republic lately in the New York Times, CNN and many other nationally syndicated publications, it is being touted as the next undiscovered hotspot. Well, I can tell you that it is being discovered but it is still very affordable and not crowded.
The Dominican people are some of the friendliest and happiest people in the world, unlike some destinations, they welcome tourists and go out of their way to ensure a great vacation. Cabarete is also world-famous for being one of the top windsurfing, kitesurfing, surfing, SUPing and now sailing destinations. Any activity that you want to do in the Dominican Republic is possible either right in Cabarete, or a short distance away. Besides the watersports, there is horseback riding right on the beach, canyoning, kayaking, waterfalls and yoga, and a gym!
