Amazing place in Las Terrenas

We just spent 7 amazing days at #casaphil. The house is truly beautiful, situated on a hill offering breathtaking views from every room and amazing amenities including an infinity pool, jacuzzi, comfortable bedrooms and, above all, an amazing staff - Jacky and Esmeralda were attentive, helpful and friendly in every way, from early morning coffees to delicious lunches and even helping with our kids!). The house is super well maintained and safe, and it’s just a short walk to gorgeous Playa Ballenas, with restaurants and activities in abundance. Phil and Carlos were were fantastic hosts - they were available throughout to provide guidance and support. We have travelled throughout the Caribbean a bit and Casa Phil and Las Terrenas will be hard to beat. We will be back for sure!

Great stay! House and staff deliver!!

Stayed for 7 days Feb 15-22. Carlos and crew were easy to work with and communication were awesome. They were flexible and rolled with our requests. They went above and beyond and made our DR experience. Jackie and Esmeralda took care of our needs and their cooking was 2nd to none! We spend almost all our time at the house. However when we did go out Carlos helped out with rides and suggestions. Overall I would highly recommend Casa Phil!

Beautiful Views and Great Staff

We really enjoyed our stay. Carlos is VERY quick to respond and answer questions! The girls cooked some delicious food and were such a joy to be around! Our only complaint was that the hot tub was not working and the pool water was too cold to enjoy which is why the hot tub would have been nice. Definitely consider renting an ATV to navigate town! It’s so much easier for parking and driving!

Perfect for extended family trip

6 adults and 3 children enjoyed this gorgeous open concept Villa. All of our questions were responded to quickly on WhatsApp. I appreciated the baby gates on all the stairs. It took us about 10 minutes to walk to the beach with the kids. Amazing beach. We used a van when we wanted to get to the town area. We spent most of our time in the infinity pool. We are so glad to hired a photographer to take some poolside family photos. Will be recommending to other large groups!

Open air relaxation

From the start, Carlos communicated everything necessary, and we arrived to a wonderful greeting from him, Jandice, and Jackie. The house was well-stacked with everything we had requested. The staff is so kind and accommodating, and in an unfamiliar location, having any and all meals we could want provided in the luxurious confines of the home was most welcome. The pool and built in views were home base for us throughout the week. We spent a few hours here and there at the beach, which we walked to in a few minutes. Even though we struck out on our self-guided spearfishing (if we went back, we might schedule an actual excursion for this), the beach was uncrowded, the water was wonderful, and the shade from all of the palm trees was wonderful. The home and the setting provides everything you could want in a vacation. Your only limiting factor will be if you are willing to ask for what you want. Ask Carlos and the ladies, and you will receive. I am highly likely to recommend this place to others and try to return soon myself. Thank you Phil, Carlos, Jackie, and Jandice for an amazing vacation!

faily getaway (from the New England cold!)

The property is absolutely beautiful: its open air plan and modern design is Architectural Digest worthy. The villa is perched on a hill with stunning ocean views, and is within walking distance of the local beach, just about 1/4 mile away, which means no driving necessary. The beach has nice waves for body surfing, and is dotted with charming open air beach bars and restaurants, on-the-beach masseuses, friendly beach dogs, locals and vacationers. It was not crowed at all. We spent our week relaxing and stayed close by, between the 2 adjacent beaches. Jaki and Yandis were lovely! They prepared breakfast and lunch for us most days (included in the villa rental), and we enjoyed 3 Dominican dinners as well. The Red Snapper was delicious! How fun it was to get to know them. Carlos checked us in and out seamlessly, and showed us the villa. He was available the entire time to answer questions and he helped us arrange surf lessons. Our experience at Casa Phil was top notch and we highly recommend it for families or groups! This was our first trip to the DR and we were very happy with Las Terranas.

Annual family vacation

We take a yearly vacation with our adult children and their significant others. My daughter found Casa Phil and from the moment we booked to the second we left, we were extremely well communicated with and cared for. Carlos arranged airport transportation and exciting island excursions to everyday things like making sure the bar was stocked and we had all our favorite snacks. Jackie made us feel like we were staying with family, and we were genuinely sad to leave. The home and grounds are exquisite, well maintained and spacious enough so everyone had their own place to escape to. We rented a 6 person buggy for the week, which was perfect for getting to the beach and around town. We all plan to visit again! 10/10!

A week of relaxation!

We LOVED our stay at Casa Phil! Carlos (the host) and Jackie and Jandice (the chefs) did everything to make us feel welcome and relaxed. We were spoiled with the meals and tropical drinks they prepared for us and took advantage of the in-house massages, pedicures, and manicures. The refrigerator was always stocked with whatever food and drink we asked for, the AC worked great for sleeping, and we didn't want or need for anything! We also enjoyed a day at the beach a short walk from the villa, a few meals at local restaurants and a beaches tour at a different spot on the island. Carlos arranged everything for us from taxis to costs. We always felt safe and everyone couldn't have been nicer. Casa Phil was the perfect spot for the six of us to enjoy a girls trip- we didn't want to leave!

60th Birthday Bash

We could not have been more pleased with our stay!!!! The home is absolutely stunning and the open air concept is exactly what we were hoping for. The beach is beautiful and just a short walk from the home and offers many Tiki bar type locations so an island cocktail is never far away. I have to say the the star this wonderful property is Jackie….our personal chef. Jackie is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Showing up each morning with a smile on her face and ready to prepare breakfast. Jackie is a FABULOUS cook and made anything we asked. Best advice is to give her a general idea(seafood, steak, chicken) and let her prepare her island creation. She was available throughout the day and happily made us refreshing cocktail creations. You must try her passion fruit juice…..absolutely the best. All in all a great stay and we will definitely return. Thanks again, Jackie.

Wonderful!

What a wonderful home away from home! 10 of us enjoyed a full week of fun in the sun (4 parents and 6 college boys) - it could not have been more perfect! Carlos was very patient with our many questions and grocery runs and Yaki, well, there are not words for how wonderful she was! She was kind, personable, and tended to our every need - she is now a part of our family:) We ate every meal at Casa Phil and Yaki even prepared picnic lunches for the beach - she is a gem! Staying at Casa Phil was a true vacation, and many memories were created.

Like your own private resort

Casa Phil is amazing! Andrea and Victor took such good care of us, it felt like staying with family. This house and view are stunning and the beach is very close and beautiful! Lots of small beach-side restaurants--but as others have said, none of them can compete with the meals you'll have right in your open-air dining room.

We ended up spending a lot of time as playa bonita, one of the more beautiful beaches we have ever seen (compared to hawaii, costa rica, puerto rico, florida). Would absolutely visit again!

Destination Relaxation

Where to begin? Casa Phil was the most amazing vacation we have ever experienced! Every detail was thought of and when we wanted (massages by the pool) or needed something (groceries/alcohol) it was taken care of. Andrea & Victor absolutely completed our stay! We did not eat out one night, there was no reason to as Andrea's cooking was beyond what we could have gotten by eating out. We did tour Las Terrenas via scooters and four wheelers quite a bit and that was one of our favorite things. We loved being in the culture and experiencing it fully. The private beach was unbelievable, there are no words. I could go on and on in this review....book Casa Phil I promise you will not be disappointed!!!

Casa Phil was an incredible experience for our entire group. We have been to DR before but usually go the tourist route in other areas. This time we decided to spend a bit more and get a true and rich Dominican Republic experience. Casa phil provided that for us!!! The view is amazing and the villa is magnificent!

This has been one of the most amazing vacations we have taken. The house is awesome. Andrea cooks like a dream and her banana pancakes are at the top of the list! The beaches were great. We rented 4 wheelers and managed to get a guide with Carlos’ help and had the best day seeing so much of the area. We felt safe and truly had a blast! We highly recommend!!!

About the host

Hosted by Carlos

Host profile image
I'm born and grew up in Italy. I lived in many countries, from Varese in Italy to New York, Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona and finally now in Las Terrenas. I'm an environmental engineer graduated from NYU Polytechnic University in NYC and the University of Pavia in Italy. My passions: my son, dune buggies and surfing.

Why they chose this property

If you've never been to Las Terrenas before it might be difficult to explain this but this town is a unique place on earth, where sometimes time seems to stop and all the issues that make your daily life dissipate and to start living in harmony with nature and the elements surrounding you. I discovered Las Terrenas thanks to my mom in 2003 and then during a vacation here I had the opportunity to purchase a plot of land and this is how the story began...

What makes this property unique

Casa Phil is a dream house. It was built with care, love and sacrifice. We built it for our family and hence looked and though of all details during the planning and building process.
