Luxury 5BR Villa. Steps to Top Beach. 5 min walk to 20+Restaurants. Chef Option

✦ WELCOME TO BAVARO ✦

If you've heard of "Punta Cana," what you've actually heard of is BAVARO — the beach town home to Secrets, Now Larimar, Paradisus, Barceló, and Melia, and to a beach TripAdvisor ranks #7 in the world.

Punta Cana is the airport. Bavaro is where you actually want to be.

Our villa sits in Los Corales, the heart of Bavaro. A short walk to the beach. Walking distance to 20+ restaurants, two grocery stores, a bakery, two pharmacies, ATMs, a spa, and two gyms. NO CAR NEEDED.

✦ THE VILLA — 3,000 SQ FT, SLEEPS 10 ✦

Originally a 3-bedroom home, expanded in 2021 to 5 bedrooms, 5 ensuite marble bathrooms, and a powder room under the staircase. We also added the Sky Deck — a rooftop platform perched above the palm trees with views of the Caribbean Sea on one side and the tropical mountains on the other.

✦ 5 ENSUITE BEDROOMS ACROSS TWO FLOORS ✦

★ 3 bedrooms on the main level, each with a private marble ensuite bath
★ 2 suites upstairs — one with a Juliet balcony
★ Each bedroom: smart TV, ceiling fan, A/C, and large closets with original Caribbean Mahogany built-ins
★ Three of the king beds split into singles on request

✦ BATHROOMS: 5 MARBLE ENSUITE + 1 POWDER ROOM ✦

All 5 ensuite bathrooms were renovated with full floor-to-ceiling marble and oversized walk-in showers. No two are alike. The half-bath under the stairs is practical and convenient — not fancy, but useful.

✦ WHAT SETS THIS VILLA APART IN BAVARO ✦

★ FULL WINDOW SCREENS throughout. Most rentals here don't have them. Open the windows, let the Caribbean breeze in, and skip the A/C bill if you choose.
★ DEDICATED 100 MBPS WIFI on a private Orbi system — yours alone, never shared with the building. Ideal for remote work.
★ FULL AIR CONDITIONING in every room
★ DISHWASHER — uncommon in Punta Cana rentals
★ FULL-SIZE WASHER AND DRYER on the second floor
★ ORIGINAL CARIBBEAN MAHOGANY throughout — wardrobes, doors, trim. This wood is now protected and cannot be replicated in modern construction. Heirloom craftsmanship.

✦ THREE OUTDOOR DECKS ✦

★ MAIN DECK (14 × 28 ft): U-shaped sofa, dining table for 8, ceiling fans, ocean breeze. Coffee in the morning, drinks at dusk.
★ ROOFTOP DECK: Custom mahogany bar under a Cana thatched roof, lounge chairs, card table, gas grill, and the laundry center in a glass closet.
★ SKY DECK: Perched above everything. Four rocking chairs that captivate guests for hours, lounge chairs, an outdoor living-room set with waterproof cushions. Watch parasailers in the Caribbean by day, fireworks across Bavaro at night.

✦ THE KITCHEN ✦

Renovated with white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, breakfast bar, full appliance suite, and the rare-in-Bavaro dishwasher.

✦ THE LIVING AREA ✦

Open-concept — custom U-shaped sofa, 70" smart TV, granite dining table, and Caribbean wood windows.

✦ OPTIONAL SERVICES (À LA CARTE) ✦

★ CHEF RAFAEL — daily meals or one special dinner. He's a local favorite.
★ DRIVER SERVICE — airport transfers (one trip or multiple, however your group arrives), private excursions, anywhere you need to go.
★ DAILY MAID SERVICE — available on request.

GREGORY, our villa manager, speaks English, Spanish, and a few other languages. He's been with the villa for years and gives every guest a tour at check-in.

✦ THE NEIGHBORHOOD ✦

★ BEACH: Bavaro Beach, ranked #7 in the world by TripAdvisor. Private community access with lounge chairs and palapas.
★ RESTAURANTS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE: Soles, Pelican, Huracán, Tocs, Onno's, Captain Cook, Beach Party, Jellyfish, Langosta Roja, and 10+ more
★ PLAZA EL DORADO AND PLAZA TURQUESA (5 min walk): grocery stores, bakery, gym, pharmacy, ATM
★ WEDDING RESORTS within 15 min walk: Now Larimar, Secrets, Paradisus Bavaro, Melia Tropical, Barceló Bavaro
★ PUNTA CANA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: 20–25 minutes by car

✦ WATER SPORTS & EXCURSIONS FROM THE BEACH ✦

Catamaran tours, pirate cruises, sunset cruises, parasailing, jet skis, speed boats, water skiing, windsurfing, ultra-light plane rides, spa cruises. The main pier is at the edge of our beach.

✦ A 50-PAGE HOSPITALITY BOOK ✦

Once you book, you'll receive our 50-page hospitality book — organized with a table of contents and photos. We've done the research so you don't have to. It covers the villa, the pool, the beach, excursions, local customs, tipping, currency, and safety. A separate restaurant guide includes 20+ favorite local spots with unpublished specials.

✦ THINGS TO KNOW ✦

★ Electricity is metered separately and not included in the rental — meter is read at check-in and check-out, billed at departure or deducted from deposit. Approximately $30–50/day with moderate A/C use. Open the windows, use the screens, save the bill.
★ Three of the five king beds split into singles on request.
★ The community is fully walkable. No car required.

✦ ABOUT THE OWNERS ✦

We're an Owner-Broker family — Pat (Real Estate Broker, Pat Fahy and Associates, Philadelphia — one of the first women to graduate from Villanova business school and one of the first female Broker-Owners in the state of Pennsylvania) and Lori (PA Broker of Record, Bally Gwynedd Realty).

Villa Poseidon was perfect for our large family of grown children. There was plenty of space in the 5 large bedrooms/bathrooms to retreat and have our own space as well as large living space to gather for meals and family time. The large deck with a grill was used for several evening meals and the rooftop deck was nice for sunning as well as relaxing after a day at the beach. The beach is about a block away with very easy access. There is a pool just outside the house which was refreshing, partially in the shade most of the day so it didn’t get too hot, you could always find a spot out of the sun if you wanted. There are several restaurants and small grocery stores close by to get groceries which was very handy. Pat does have a welcome booklet that lays out all these details which is very useful. Greg, the manager, is also very helpful. We did not rent a car and they arranged transportation from the airport to the house and back again for us. Pat is an excellent hostess. She truly wants everyone to have the best time and experience possible!! She answered all of my questions prior to traveling to the Dominican. On our final day our flight was cancelled and I thought we might end up sleeping on the beach as many flights were cancelled and hotels were full… but Pat let us stay in the house an additional night until our airline got our flight arrangements sorted out. Absolutely the hostess with the most.

Nice time at Punta Cana villa

We just returned from 6 days at Villa Poseidon in Punta Cana. The house is just as in the pictures- roomy & nicely furnished. The house is in the Los Corales community & it's really pretty. The split a/c units make the temps ( & electric bill) easy to manage. The beds are SUPER comfy- we wanted to take them home..lol. Kitchen well equipped. The pool was really nice & while it is a community pool, had no more than 2 other people using it- sometimes just us. Wifi as good as home. The beach is a 2 min walk & with beach chairs & shade pulpas provided but my only disappointment- while not crowded- it's very active, party boats & off-shore excursions loading in afternoon- for many this may be a plus. I preferred the quiet mornings. But this seemed to be the norm all along the Punta Cana beaches- I walked for an hour in each direction. The response, pre-trip tips & on-site communications with host, Pat & property manager Gregory were OUTSTANDING! I recommend reaching out to them with any question you have while there- don't hesitate-they're super responsive & helpful. Other tips: Go to Jumbo on way in for big order- but there's also a small supermarket Ciccolella a few blocks away- not as big or stocked as Jumbo & a it's a bit more expensive- but has everything you may find you need & nearby. Captain Cook seaside restaurant langostinos & fish tacos at Villa Blanca Beach club ( at beach access from house) were my favs. This is a great house & location for a big family get together,

Beautiful, Convenient, Delicious!

We stayed here for several days with two teenagers, two grandparents and two parents. The rooms and bathrooms are so convenient and the layout of the entire place is lovely. The check-in process was very easy and everyone is so nice! Everything is within a very short, walking distance, including the pool, restaurants, and of course, the gorgeous beach! We had a little trouble finding the place, (we were driving ourselves in a rental), and we called Ms. Pat and she stayed on the phone with us to point us in the right direction and arrive with no problems. Talk about customer service! She is the best hostess we’ve ever had in our vacation experiences. She provides more than enough information, and she is extremely helpful with all questions. We always felt safe throughout our visit. And the staff at the nearby restaurants could not be nicer! The food and drinks are delicious at Enjoy. We also had two meals at Soles restaurant on the beach. Unbelievably delicious and the customer service is out of site.The beds were very comfy, the showers worked well with plenty of hot water, the kitchen is well appointed, including a coffee maker and a microwave and a blender. The sunroom-type sitting room at the entrance is a fantastic place to hang out in the evenings and just enjoy a cocktail with family. We also used the gas grill on the terrace. My son wanted to see a soccer game, and the big TV in the living room works perfectly and is a very nice picture. Great place!

Great vacation!

We had a great experience on our vacation! Communication with both Pat and Greg was excellent. We didn't have a lot of questions once we arrived because Pat had provided a lot of helpful information prior to our trip. And, once we arrived we had immediate answers to the couple of questions we had. Transport to and from the airport was great. We all arrived together but departed in two separate groups. Having these arrangements made for us was super helpful and removed a lot of stress from the equation - all we had to do was get in the van! We had the chef come in two of the nights of our stay. I would highly recommend Rafael!! The food was amazing, the cost was very affordable, and he really catered to our likes. I also have to say the beach was AMAZING. We had originally planned go on some excursions during our trip. However, we ended up just going to the beach every day - it was beautiful and bobbing around in the water was totally relaxing!! We came home relaxed and rejuvenated!!!

Great property in a safe neighborhood

I took hosted a graduation trip for my 18 yr old son and his four best friends. We found the house very much to our liking. Very comfortable beds and very convenient location just a few minutes walk to restaurants and grocery stores. The pool was just outside our door which was really nice to cook off in before and after the beach. We had a couple issues the first day and they were both addressed immediately by Gregory the property manager. We were also recommended a chef for a night by Pat and Gregory and it was truly one of the best meals we have ever had! Will definitely be renting again the next time we travel to PC!

Girls Trip 2024

Not as advertised. Many issues from day 1. Water coming into the house due to poor drainage on the balcony. The property manager was there when we arrived cleaning up the water that was coming into the home. After he left which was a hour later, we (7 of us) all had to clean up. Day 2 more rain more cleaning. Advertised as luxury far from it. Toaster oven looks like it was picked up from the trash. The grill was dirty and the grease trap had not seen a cleaning in a very long while. I wish I could upload pictures as they do not lie. The grill did not work, the first thing you see as you drive up to the home is trash that smells awful. I could go on about all the issues with the home. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Nice property; late check-in and long water outage

1. House is as described and on a prime location. 2. Electricity is not included in the rental charge – buried in fine print instead of up front. 3. Late check-in. We were let in after 5pm instead of 3pm. Reason: prior guests checked out late. No apology was offered. 4. Long water outage. Water went out after 9pm, we went to bed after 10pm, I rose at 4am to find the taps dry, and they remained dry until we left at 8:30. No chance to shower before retiring, dishes left dirty overnight and barely enough to use for breakfast, dirty toilets, we headed out the next morning still unwashed. Pat was very attentive before our stay. After we got in, she quickly had a broken shower and hinges fixed. But her handling of #3 and 4 left us dissatisfied. The water outage was beyond her control, but her response was a plain "Sorry for the inconvenience". A true 5-star host would have offered something in return, before the guest even asks, and not necessarily a monetary rebate. Simple gestures go a long way: like sending a bottle of wine or fruit basket or sending someone to do the dishes and clean the toilets after the water returned. Instead, when we asked for compensation, what ensued was a long string of messages bragging about how good a host Pat is, how much money she’s spent to upgrade the property, what a great deal we got for renting this home, and basically making us sound whiny and unreasonable for seeking compensation for a service we’d paid for that was not delivered.

Ac breaker broke but was fixed in about 2 hours. They have some construction going on and the water was on off the first couple days but it t was resolved quickly.

Great cozy home!

This is a valued home for big groups! It is not perfect but spacious and with everything needed to make a trip memorable! Walking distance to beach. Owner is on top of things. She will guide you all the way and make sure you are treated well. Even at the beach they already had my name and were waiting for me. This is a great budget home that offers a lot of home comforts. Specially for those who don't enjoy the craziness of hotels and having to park with a valet or far from the room as well as to adhere to eating within a certain window. By the way if you come you need to go to Coco Bongos! The place is amazing. But make sure to get the VIP table to really get the complete experience!

Relaxing

This was a great vacation. Pat was very good at keeping us updated as to the check in process and telling us great places to go and explore. Check in was super easy. We had Rafael prepare dinner each night and it was so nice to eat dinner together “at home.” We sat around the table and enjoyed great food and company. Rafael and his beautiful wife even did the dishes. We highly recommend them. This vacation home was in a safe community. You could walk downtown safely. For anyone who questions an all inclusive wrests a VRBO…give this a try. Cesar is the driver and he takes you places that you wouldn’t know otherwise. House was fabulous and spacious. We loved it!!!

Beautiful home that exceeded expectations

Pat is an amazing host. Of all the rental properties I’ve ever stayed in, I’ve never had someone so quick and thorough with their responses. We did have one issue though, the dishwasher was not working, BUT, Pat came through like a champ sent someone out (on her dime) twice to clean our dishes. We felt safe the entire time and the gated community was beautiful. I could not recommend this house enough. Thank you Pat :)

First trip to Punta Cana

This was our first trip to Punta Cana and it was amazing. Pat was very easy to work with and was very responsive to any questions. Her hospitality guide was a fantastic guide to use before and during the trip. I wish I would have realized there were not many beach towels because I would have brought more, but I likely missed that detail in her guide. Citrus and Wacomole were our favorite restaurants. Mackenzie (beach attendant) was awesome. He was very welcoming when we went to the beach and made sure we had everything we needed (Pat’s advice on tipping probably helped as well!) We even booked an excursion to Saona Island through Mackenzie and it was amazing. We were pleasantly surprised when he contacted us the next day and told us he had change to give us. Another must see is Montana Redonda!

Disappointed & Needs a lot of work.

So I’m use to staying in 4&5 star rentals and unfortunately this place was a 1.The Bathrooms were dirty , the mirror in my bathroom(the Master bedroom)was dirty. All the bathroom faucets and shower fixtures were old&green & dirty. The owner stated that she only provides 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom for her guests and that this was not a hotel and I had to buy toilet paper when we ran out. Actually there was no paper towels at the house we got there so we had to buy that ourselves. The 5days that we stayed there included a weekend that rained 2days during the weekend in April and I had to request blankets from the owner because all the beds only have a sheet on them. Pat the owner stated it’s not a custom for her to supply her guests with blankets in the spring , summer and fall months. I told her that I’ve stayed in plenty rentals and her home is the 1st one that didn’t have blankets on the bed or in the closets for your house guests. We used the deck a lot to gather together and when it was raining while we on the deck we wanted blankets to put over us because it was damp & chilly while it was raining. In addition there was a large puddle of water that accumulated on the kitchen floor that we had to mop up because the concrete around the window is broken up and crumbling to pieces. The window is in need of major repair. Also in the master bedroom there is a balcony you can go out to and because it was raining so hard there was water coming into the bedroom from the balcony. The drain on the balcony is not pushing the water off the house, the drain is bringing the water into the house and caused a puddle of water in the bedroom on the floor. The 3rd deck on top of the villa is nice but the plastic covers on the deck furniture is all ripped up and I feel something like that is an easy fix, but I guess the owner nor her property manager think so. I guess I expected too much. I expressed to Pat that her villa needs a lot of work done to it. Pat said that she hasn’t had anyone be so critical of her home in years, like myself but then she said that every few years she gets a group like mine whom is unhappy from the minute they arrive until they leave. That says to me that she is not interested in trying to fix the things her guests have complained about, nor is she interested in doing any upgrades to her villa. FYI…Rafael the Chef was outstanding and Cesar the driver was great.

The property was very outdated and not clean at all. The refrigerator was clean but kitchen wear old

The property was very outdated and not clean at all. The refrigerator was clean but kitchen wear old and dirty. Two small beds join together to make one bed. Very uncomfortable time at the house.

Wonderful retreat, old world charm

This large upper house was wonderful for our 12 day stay. 630 steps from Los Corales Beach, this little enclave is sheltered from noise and activity of bustling plaza and night life just blocks away. It's convenient to grocery stores and dining. The house was clean and well kept. Five bedrooms each with it's own bath was wonderful. Dishwasher and washer and dryer a plus. Pat Faye, the owner, was steps away and very responsive to any questions or needs. She has researched and documented all needs in a hospitality guide. She went above and beyond! This is our third trip to Los Corrales. We would definitely rent here again.
