A Few Steps From The Gorgeous Beach Of Punta Rucia!

Exclusive Villa with private pool a few steps from the beach!

Please checkout our other house, Villa Mango, listing # 3612132.

This graceful Caribbean property combines elegance and simplicity: this is the perfect escape to a tropical paradise just for you. It’s a must visit, with its precious beach, abundant colorful coral reefs minutes away for snorkeling and with Blue Island's 45 foot catamaran only a 20 minute ride away from the famous Cayo Paraiso, ranked by CNN Travel in May 2013 ¨The 34th most beautiful beach in the world¨.

Villa Gabi is a great getaway, with its private gated property, exclusive coral sand & crystal water beach a few steps away, 3 bedrooms each with air-conditioning, 2 full bathrooms with water heater, 50”LED TV in living area and 32” TV in main room, cable TV service, wireless internet, private pool, large brick BBQ (Charcoil NOT PROVIDED) , hammock, open terrace and wooden deck, interactive fully equipped kitchen (NO DISHWASHER), washing machine and dryer.

Nearby, you can enjoy the culinary art of exquisite French Restaurants as well as typical Dominican food. A few feet away, you have “Paradise Island” a tour operator that offers excursions to tourists visiting Cayo Paraiso. Both Blue Island and Paradise Island offers breakfast, lunch and dinner (dinner on demand) that can be served directly at Villa Gabi's table as if we were part of the restaurants: they also serve drinks to the public. Also at only a 5 minute walk, you can enjoy Lino's Pizza, an authentic Italian that makes an incredible pizza.

The perfect Dominican spot with one of the country’s least percentile of precipitation (it almost doesn't rain), a great condition to guaranty a wonderful outdoor vacation.

Personnel included: Our maid is available for daily cleaning and our gardener sleeps on the premises in a hut outside to assure your safety and comfort.

Punta Rucia is located at 60 km from Puerto Plata city.

Our driver is always available for airport pick up and drop-off from Puerto Plata or Santiago’s International Airport for a maximum of 4 guests + luggages in our SUV and in our Chevrolet Express van we offer services for up to 8 plus luggages.

Little Gem
This place was excellent. Nelson, Maria, Kleiby, and his family were the best people we found during our vacation. They treated us like their family. We felt at home. We loved the place, the food, the Blue Island restaurant, and the trip to Cayo Arena, Mangrove, and the attention from all of them made our vacation unforgettable.

We could t find a better location to stay in Punta Rucia
When we arrived our host was already expecting us. He arranged for us to go and drove us to Punta Arena. He was always there when we needed him. Made us feel right at home.

Best.Family.Vacation.Ever.
Across a small dirt road is a beach club on a pristine beach w Adirondack chairs for the house. Private dip pool w/ a hammock beside it at home is pretty clutch w a kid(s). Everyone we met went above and beyond. Ani, the house keeper, cooked amazing Dominican meals, definitely recommend AND the trip to the island and mangroves is worth getting up early. The house was beautiful and clean but really the owners and staff went above and beyond every time and were very very welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to go back!!

This house is everything you can dream of! I highly recommend it. The attention to detail was great. Nelson the person who welcome us was GREAT! The pool the rooms and the bathroom everything was beautiful. Enough space for a family. I went with two little ones and this house was perfect. I do have to say watch out for mosquitos but that’s all over the country. The AC the laundry and fridge everything worked great. More than enough towels which is always a plus and I didn’t have to worry about shampoo or soap another huge plus. Literally steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been on. Super child friendly and we walked from our house to the beach barefoot that’s how close it is. AGAIN, highly recommend this house.
