About this property
Rare Oceanfront Penthouse for Comfortable Coastal Living
What you will love about this home: Spacious 2-bedroom oceanfront penthouse with soaring ceilings, warm natural light, and a welcoming atmosphere, ideal for active retired couples seeking both comfort and adventure. Enjoy direct sea views from both bedrooms, the kitchen, and the living room, plus sunrise coffee on the expansive wrap-around balcony. Spend your days walking the beach, swimming, or enjoying water sports, then unwind at Martinis, the on-site thatched-roof restaurant and bar, before returning to your peaceful home in Cabarete.
What you will love about this neighborhood: Located about 1.5 km from the hustle and bustle of downtown Cabarete, our home offers a peaceful, breezy setting while still keeping you close to everything you need. It’s an easy 20‑minute walk along the beach and main road to town and the main grocery store, or just a 5‑minute ride on a local guagua (shared minibus) if you prefer to hop on with the locals. Cabarete itself is a world‑class kiteboarding destination and is often called the adventure sports capital of the Caribbean, with plenty of options for both gentle and more adventurous activities.
Additional information: Safety: Cabarete East Beachfront Condos are located within a secure, gated community with attentive and friendly staff, offering both safety and peace of mind.
Cleanliness: The unit is professionally cleaned before every swap, so you can expect fresh linens and spotless bathrooms upon arrival.
Communication: I’m responsive on the app and happy to arrange a video call prior to confirming any swap, so you can feel completely comfortable.
Luggage Assistance: The unit is on the third floor (no elevator), which is great for a bit of built-in exercise—but if you prefer help, the onsite staff are responsive and always available to assist with carrying luggage.
Ease of Coastal Living: Enjoy the convenience of complimentary weekly basic cleaning (Wednesday mornings). Spend your mornings walking miles of sandy beaches or unwinding with a swim in the pool. And when cooking is not on the agenda, the onsite beach-style restaurant offers flavorful American and Dominican food at prices that make dining out easy.
Drinking Water: Because tap water in the Dominican Republic is not recommended for drinking, the kitchen includes a convenient reverse osmosis drinking tap for your peace of mind. No need to order bottled water.
House Rules & Fees: Just a couple of simple house rules to keep things pleasant for everyone: We’re a non‑smoking, pet‑free home, so there’s no smoking inside the apartment and we aren’t able to host pets. There is a one‑time move‑out cleaning fee of 60 USD, which covers a thorough clean and washing of all linens after your stay, so you don’t have to worry about doing a deep clean before you leave.
Electricity Use: Electricity is charged based on actual meter readings at move-in and move-out. Please pay directly to the administrator when checking out. Because electricity is quite expensive in the Dominican Republic and air conditioning uses a lot of power in the tropics, we kindly ask guests to use the AC mindfully—keeping doors and windows closed while it’s on, and turning it off when you go out—so you stay comfortable without wasting energy.

The pictures online could not be more accurate. You walk on that porch and see nothing but ocean. Place was very clean. Stocked with all accessories you need to be comfortable. Security and staff made you feel welcome, safe and helped where needed. Restaurant on site is a great added bonus. Would highly recommend this rental!
The apartment was excellent. Just as described and very well maintained. In fact the entire complex was well maintained. Also the apartment is WELL equipped with QUALITY items throughout. It didn’t lack anything that we needed.
The onsite restaurant had good food at reasonable prices, daily specials and happy hour.
I have only one negative issue. The screen was missing from the patio sliding door so we couldn’t enjoy the cool ocean breezes while in the living room or dining room.
Overall I give this property a definite 5 stars.
Having a comfortable, clean, modern, quality apartment certainly made our vacation more enjoyable.

Fantastic Holiday
This is our 5th year coming to the DR, but our 1st time staying at Cabarete East. This condo was amazing. I love the quiet location just outside of Cabarete - yet still close enough to go to town - by beach, by cab.... Being on the top floor gave us the most spectacular view of the ocean and the pool. The ocean lulls you to sleep at night. The pool is clean and very inviting, and grounds are very well maintained. The restaurant has great food at very reasonable prices. The staff are very helpful. The condo itself has every amenity you could ever want/need. The furnishings are top class, especially the beds - very comfortable. We ate most of our meals on the balcony. Such a treat. The beach is beautiful. We did a lot of walking and also loved watching the kids play baseball there in the late afternoons. The owners have been very helpful and generous to accommodate us at every turn. I would absolutely recommend this condo to anyone who wants to be pampered. Thank you so much for making 2018 a blessed holiday.

Hello Carole,
It was a pleasure to host you and it gives us great pride when visitors enjoy themselves in our little piece of tropical paradise. Hope you have a good spring/summer and we look forward to having you stay with us again in the future.
This condo was amazing! Everything shown in the list is accurate and beyond. Each room is wonderfully decorated with all the amenities you’ll ever need. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cookware and dishwater you’ll need. Martini’s is a great place to catch happy hour, Tuesday Tacos or just a snack. Town is an easy walk down the beach or along the roadway. The entire staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed and safe.
The condo is definitely one of the best we’ve rented and plan to return soon.
Sehr schöne Wohnung, entspricht genau der Beschreibung. Traumhafter Meerblick. Restaurant
Sehr gute Kommunikation mit Jens Eigentümer der Wohnung. Die Anlage liegt ca 3 Minuten außerhalb von Cabarete ruhig direkt am Strand. Wohnung Sehr gepflegt. Jeden Mittwoch wird die Wohnung gereinigt. Wir waren 4 Wochen dort und haben den wöchentlichen Bettwäschwechsel genutzt, der nur in Absprache gemacht wurde, kosten 5 Dollar. Reinigung dagegen war im Mietpreis inbegriffen. Wir haben das Restaurant am Pool oft besucht und können es weiterempfehlen. Der Komplex ist rund um die Uhr bewacht und wir haben uns sehr sicher gefühlt. Sehr schöne Pool Anlage.

Danke Heidi. Es freut mich sehr, dass ihr euren Aufenthalt bei uns genossen haben und hoffe, euch in der Zukunft wiederzusehen.
Property was exactly what we were hoping to find. The setting is exactly as pictured. Beautiful ocean views through the palm trees with the sound of the ocean all day and all night. Bedding was comfortable, linens were plentiful and of reasonable quality. Kitchen is equipped well enough to prepare meals if you choose to do so. Plenty of space throughout the condo and on the balcony. Air conditioning works well, if needed. Some nice touches that make daily life a bit more enjoyable, like bluetooth speaker, relatively modern smart televisions, and the like.
All of the on site staff that we interacted with are super nice. Cleaning staff, security staff, bar/restaurant staff . . . all really nice.
Jens (the owner) was quick to answer any questions we had via email, and also very accommodating with a couple of requests we made. The process of renting was, from start to finish, as easy as could be.
If we ever have occasion to return to this region of the Dominican, we will definitely stay here again. A big thanks to everyone involved.

Hello Randy,
Thank you for sharing your experience. It always gives me great pleasure to be able to have a positive influence on someone's vacation. Hope to see you again in the near future.
Regards, Jens
We had a wonderful vacation! A tranquil setting with an incredible view of the ocean from the balcony. The homeowners were very responsive. The condo was (frankly) better than the photos! Martini's Restaurant was a favorite gathering place for all the local homeowners, and we had most of our meals there. The daily happy hour was a must! We are planning on returning again next year!
We have had great luck with the HomeAway web site, and properties rented through them.

Stunning Views!
We have rented many homes over the years and this was the best home for many reasons. The home is not only beautiful with panoramic windows overlooking the sea, but contained absolutely every amenity one could want. There were three a/c units and the condo was always pleasantly cool. In addition, the owner provided bedside fans for white noise. The decor was superb! The furniture including couches and bedding was very comfortable. The condition of the condo was spotlessly clean! Cable tv enabled us to watch baseball which was very much appreciated! We enjoyed Martini's bar/grill on a daily basis and the employees were so friendly and accommodating. Finally, the owners were so responsive and accessible. Highly recommend this home!

Fantastic place, will come again next year!
We had a wonderful stay in this quiet and clean apartment. The apartment is well furnished and has a well-equipped kitchen which made cooking fun. We prefered to make our own healthy meals from fresh ingredients over going out. The patio was a perfect place for morning coffee and for enjoying the fantastic ocean views. We enjoyed walking on the beach every day and doing yoga nearby under some palm trees. We made lots of friends as many expats live here and there is a positive vibe. We highly recommend staying here and will be back next year.

About the host
Hosted by Jens Knof
I love meeting people from around the world who share a passion for the ocean, beaches, and photography. In the '80s and '90s, I traveled the world racing windsurfers, and later coached the Ontario and Canadian teams in the lead-up to the '96 Olympics. I graduated from the University of Waterloo in 1991 with a B.Sc. in Kinesiology, then went on to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. I married my university sweetheart more than 35 years ago, and we now have three grown children who, like their parents, love to travel. On a dare to my wife, we moved to the Dominican Republic in 2006, where our kids attended the International School in Sosúa. Today we split our time between Canada and the DR, enjoying the best of both worlds. It would be our pleasure to host you and share some of our experiences along the way.
Why they chose this property
After traveling the world, my wife and I decided that Cabarete, in the Dominican Republic, was the ideal place for us to own a property. The weather here is perfect, and we love the lush vegetation and beautiful beaches. Except for a few holiday weekends, the area stays refreshingly uncrowded — a huge plus compared to Thailand and parts of Europe we've visited more recently. The locals are warm and welcoming, and it remains one of the most affordable places in the Caribbean.
What makes this property unique
The Cabarete East Oceanfront Community is unique in that it sits just outside the town center — far enough to escape the noise that builds up there at night, but close enough to enjoy everything Cabarete has to offer. The setting is stunningly beautiful, with miles of beach to explore. Whether you're collecting amber, watching for humpback whales in February, or relaxing poolside with a tropical drink, this is a wonderful place to unwind and recharge. For more adrenaline-packed activities, kiteboarding, surfing, and mountain biking trails are all just steps from our door.
