The house was actually better than the pictures showed. Very private and a great pool. In a gated community, so it was extremely safe. My wife left lots of notes on places to see and eat. We ate everywhere

A beautiful place to be

The villa is ideal with small children - including the super pool. The villa is very spacious and the whole neighborhood is very quiet - apart from the occasional dog barking. It is very close to a beach and Cabrete is just a few minutes' drive away.

Great Time in Perla Marina

We had a great time. Kids took full advandage of the pool, we've enjoyed horseback riding at the nearby equestrian center, delicious food at Natura Cabana and gorgeous sunsets at the community beach. Jose, the property manager was very nice and responsive whenever we needed him. Overall, a very positive experience.

Great house and property

My husband and I rented Bob's house for 3 months. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very spacious and comfortable and the covered outdoor eating/sitting/BBQ area and pool are lovely. Having use of a cooler and the beach chairs were a nice treat. Bob and his property manager, Jose, were very responsive to any questions and/or concerns. Thank you for a great stay!

Tranquil and relaxing location

The house was a short walk to the beach and we enjoyed the two restaurants that were within walking distance. We didn’t need a car because we hired a taxi and we speak Spanish so it was easy to get help. The pool was very enjoyable.There wasn’t condiments like we have found in other Vrbo. We did have an issue with the safe and the owner said he would replace it.

2022 DR trip

The house is vey nice and accomadating. We had two adults each with our own suite and had plenty of room for more. The house is located within walking distance of Ceiba (a great restaurant) and the beach. The only negative was the construction next door. Jose the property manager was very attentive and checked in on us several times during our visit. We will definitely consider it again on our next trip.

Was there for 7 weeks, nice place could use some updating

Bob's place is in a good location. The villa would be better with some updates but was very livable. Beds were comfortable, having a pool was great for the grandkids and us on warmer days and nights. The backup for power outage was essential as there were outages almost every day, thanks for having that available. The walk to the beach was easy and the amenities around Perla Marina were great. Italian and BBQ restaurants had good food. Jose the property manager was great to deal with. Overall was a good stay

Beautiful Villa !

We had an excellent trip, Jose in charge of maintenance was always helpful and had many great suggestions. We hope to visit again some day, the location was ideal right in between Sosua and Cabarete minutes walk from a beautiful beach. The villa was large and spacious great for a family or a group of friends. The garden was beautiful with large palms and coconut trees. Great pool for cooling down after a hot day on the beach. Definitely will visit again. Thanks Bob for sharing your villa with us. Liz and Steve, from Canada.

Great place near Cabarete

Bob's house in Perla Marina was the perfect location for our family vacation to Cabarete. Perla Marina is a closed neighborhood that is private, quiet, and very pretty. It is also only about a 5 minute drive to Cabarete and 10 minutes to grocery stores in Sosua. There is a small, nice beach in the neighborhood. It's not great for swimming, but other bigger beaches are within a short drive. The house was spacious and comfortable for seven of us. We loved relaxing on the back patio and by the pool. We will definitely try to return!

Overall Beautiful Property

My family and I stayed in Bob's Villa over a week. We visit Dominican Republic on a regular, but this was our first time staying in Puerto Plata. The villa has everything needed for a long or short stay. Bob had great communication from beginning to end and Jose the Property Manager was always readily available when needed. There is a pizza parlor around the corner which we enjoyed and a small grocery store next to the pizza parlor. My family and I felt very safe in the neighborhood. There is security 24-7 which is a relief. We will definitely be visiting again, and Bob thanks you so much for such great hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Bob Marriott

Host profile image
Boston has been my vibrant home for the past 20 years, but my roots stretch from the Midwest. I fell in love with the lively culture and beautiful landscapes of the Dominican Republic, and treasure ties and friendships from traveling there for more than 15 years, sharing the warmth of our blended backgrounds with every guest.
With over 25 years in real estate—serving as both consultant and licensed professional—I now proudly own and manage several properties. My expertise in hospitality and dedication to guest comfort ensure every stay is seamless, personal, and memorable.

Why they chose this property

During a visit to see family and friends in the Dominican Republic, a new adventure began—I became fascinated with the region’s unique charm and real estate possibilities. As I explored Puerto Plata, I was captivated by the lush landscapes, vibrant history, and beautiful, unspoiled beaches. Each day brought new discoveries and inspiration.

After touring several homes, the last property took my breath away—it had everything I’d dreamed of: a spacious, welcoming layout, a private pool, tranquil, safe surroundings, and pristine beaches just moments away. Its prime location places guests close to everything: excellent restaurants, world-class surfing, and scenic mountain adventures. It truly felt like the perfect house, and now, I’m thrilled to share this incredible space so others can create their own unforgettable memories.

What makes this property unique

The house boasts a secluded, fenced yard offering complete privacy, featuring your own sparkling pool, an outdoor stereo system, and a screen projector ideal for watching movies by the pool or on the patio. Fire up the grill for the perfect quiet night at home.

Just a short walk away lies a pristine, private beach—an untouched paradise where it's common to find yourself completely alone, soaking in breathtaking views. This rare gem in Puerto Plata feels like a hidden treasure, and I often hope it remains this peaceful and uncommercialized, preserving its natural charm for years to come.
