Casa Coco

Casa Coco is a large luxury villa, located in a safe community, just steps away from the best beach in the Dominican Republic.

THE LOCATION :
The Los Nómadas luxury gated community offers seclusion, serenity, and security, right on the best stretch of famous Cosón beach, listed at the top of International Living's list of the top 10 beaches in the Caribbean (see excerpt below). Los Nómadas is a 10 minute drive away from Las Terrenas town, where you will find everything from a salsa dancing school to hair salons, shops, cafes, banks, etc. Las Terrenas has lots to offer in the way of restaurants and bars, including a wide array of fine dining like the 'Fisherman's Village' with a row of restaurants directly in front of the beach. Las Terrenas is always lively with the feel of a genuine Dominican town. If you need anything from town, like fresh fish from the daily fisherman's market, our motorcycle messenger can get it for you all for a few dollars. Los Nomadas is so safe (it is guarded at all times), people routinely leave their doors open when going to the beach, which is a rarity you will not find elsewhere in the Dominican Republic. No need to take a wallet or shoes or to lock-up the house, just walk right to the beach along a small pathway.

A newly built airport (El Catey, code: AZS) is only 20 minutes from the house, offering direct flights from New York (JetBlue) on Wed and Sat, as well as WestJet service from Canada. Or fly into Santo Domingo, 2 hours away on the new toll road. We can arrange transportation for you.

THE BEACH :
50 meters from Casa Coco lies idyllic Coson beach, awarded the 'Blue Flag Beach' designation by the Blue Flag nonprofit environmental group. This designation is given to only those beaches with exceptional water quality, environmental management, and safety and services. The beach has sections of perfectly calm water -- perfect for children -- and areas with small waves. Coson is exceptionally peaceful, with very little development apart from Nomadas and the small hotel next door. A long walk down the beach (or short car ride) takes you to a surfing haven with a famous local seafood restaurant and bar ('Luis') right on the sand of a near-deserted section of the beach.

Here's what International Living magazine wrote about Coson beach:
Perhaps the Caribbean’s best-kept secret, the once-sleepy fishing village of Las Terrenas is becoming one of the hottest spots for vacation homes in the Caribbean for those in-the-know. Some are even calling it the San Tropez of the Caribbean. The Dominican Republic boasts some of the best beaches in the world and Las Terrenas and the Samana Peninsula have the best of the best, including Coson Beach, or Playa Coson, a long, luscious stretch of untouched sand dotted with gently leaning palms. Besides beautiful beaches, Las Terrenas entertains with an eclectic mix of international restaurants and shops and outdoor pursuits from fishing and diving to hiking and whale watching.

THE VILLA :
Casa Coco is a large luxury villa, situated on a 17,500 square foot lot of lush tropical vegetation. With 5 spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, plus a separate bungalow with 4 beds on two levels and 1 bathroom, Casa Coco can accommodate a large group (16 people maximum), but feels private and cozy. It is exceptionally well located: 50 meters from the beach, in the safe and secluded Los Nómadas community. Casa Coco is in the 'second row', with just one house between the property and the beach. Casa Coco is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, giving a sense of privacy. The main house, recently renovated, consists of three bedrooms downstairs, each with their own bathroom. Upstairs is a large master bedroom suite with a spa-like bathroom and a private balcony. Next to the master suite is a "kids suite" with four twin beds, a TV, and a full bathroom. All beds, other than the kids suite, are larger than King-sized, measuring 80' x 80'. All linens are high-quality, imported from Europe.

A large living room / dining room is connected to a semi-open large kitchen. A wrap-around cane roof veranda overlooks a lovely swimming pool with a shallow area for kids, a Jacuzzi, a large deck, and the tropical garden.

A separate Bungalow on the other side of the pool has a king bed downstairs as well as a mezzanine sleeping area – perfect for a family. The bungalow has its own bathroom and a mini-fridge and coffee maker.

AMENITIES AND SERVICES :

The main house includes air conditioning in all bedrooms, flatscreen TVs, a full kitchen, outdoor gas bar-b-que grill, a foosball table, a ping pong table, WiFi, Chromecast, DVD player, and hundreds of movies for kids and adults, most with subtitles. We also have toys and games for kids, guide books, etc.

There is a small luxury hotel 70 meters down the beach, where you can have a great meal (or take their free delivery) or a drink at the bar. You can also pay a small fee to use their beach deck chairs, fitness center, and all of their facilities. 

There are many excursions that can be arranged, including snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, deep-sea fishing, horseback riding (on the beach if you like), windsurfing, kite surfing, ecotours to rain forests, waterfalls, bird and whale watching. Tour operators will come to the villa to meet with you. Our full-time manager speaks five languages and is always available to help with anything you need, including arranging services, excursions, or transportation.

A car is recommended, but not required – a man on a moped will fetch anything you need from town for a few dollars.

A babysitter, masseuse, or private chef can be arranged for very little cost. One or two housekeepers (depending on the size of your group) are at the villa every day. In addition to cleaning, they will cook you breakfast (you provide the food). Linens are changed twice a week. Our services can be customized to meet your needs.
