A great family experience! Upon entering the apartment, my family and I were blown away by the beautiful setting. The view from the balcony was absolutely breathtaking. With the large windows overlooking the water, you can experience the beach even when you’re relaxing inside. The apartment is so open, and filled with natural light. It’s well equipped for an extended getaway, complete with comfortable beds.
(Vasiliy) was the main point of contact for all concerns however, his wife, Nadia, was beyond a “gracious hostess” who worked hard to provide a five star AIRBNB experience. She puts forth genuine concern and effort in everything that she does. Even with the language barrier, I felt she communicated through her thoughtfulness. They both had lots of great suggestions for things to do, and even offered a cheaper transportation service than the local taxis. It was truly the whole package!
Vasiliy, his wife and team were second to none. This was our first time in the DR and we will be back!
We had arranged transportation from the airport with Vasiliy. They were waiting for us (Vasiliy's wife, Nadia) and we had a short drive to the apartment.
Upon arriving at the apartment the balcony will be the first thing you notice. It is very spacious with a large table perfect for dining outdoors! It has a breathtaking view of the ocean. The apartment was spotless and even decorated for the holidays! They provided us with plenty of towels, drinking water, and even cleaned the apartment half way through our stay for free. The bedrooms were all spacious, had air conditioning, comfortable beds and private bathrooms. The kitchen was fully equipped if you would like to cook any of your own meals.
Vasiliy was able to arrange golf and transportation for us everyday, as that was the purpose of our trip. We didn't take advantage of any excursions but he can take care of that, as well. The beach area is great! Many chairs are available for guests/tenants of this building! The apartment was perfect! Exactly what we had hoped for!
All in all, this was one of the best vacation experiences that my family and I have been blessed to enjoy! Vasiliy, his family and team were a BIG part of that. I can't thank them enough!
If you are going to DR, use Vasiliy to book your stay. You will be very happy you did!
Nous avons décidé d'aller en république dominicaine passe 8 jours avec mon épouse et notre fille, pour la première fois, étant habités aux hôtels de luxe pour ce type de vacances, nous avions un peu hésité à louer un appartement. Mais suite à ces 8 jours passés dans l'appartement de Vasiliy, nous revenons enchantés par notre séjour, car tout était au rendez vous. La gentillesse de son accueil, l'accompagnement au long de notre séjour quelque soit la question, avec réponse assurée et immédiate de sa part. Un service au petits soins.
En ce qui concerne le logement, il est tout simplement incroyable, vous avez une vue depuis la terrasse solarium à couper le souffle, vous avez quasiment les pieds dans l'eau, tellement le logement est sur la plage.
L'appartement est très bien décoré avec beaucoup de goût, et possède plus de matériel de qualité que nécessaire.
L'appartement est complètement équipé de climatisation, et de gros ventilateurs plafonniers, mais il est tellement bien ventilé étant en bord de mer, que nous n'avons pas eu besoin de faire fonctionner la climatisation pendant notre séjour où nous avons eu plus de 90 % du temps super ensoleillé.
A préciser que la plage au pied du logement (50 m) est magnifique, propre et entretenue quotidiennement par un plagiste. on peut aussi y pratiquer de nombreuses activités nautiques. Super plage de sable blanc, avec un niveau de sécurité très appréciable.
Nous sommes ravis de ce séjour en République Dominicaine chez Vasiliy, et nous sommes certains que la prochaine fois nous relouerons chez Vasiliy, car nous trouvons que c'était mieux avec beaucoup plus de liberté que si nous avions été à l’hôtel comme d'habitude.
Je vous conseille de louer chez Vasiliy, et vivre la même expérience.
Merci pour tout et à très bientôt.
Marie, Maeva et Alfonso qui reviendront sans hésiter une minute.
My husband and I booked this location for a 3 night stay in December 2016. While Vasiliy and Alex we're very nice and quick to respond, we decided not to stay here once we arrived and booked a hotel instead.
Overall, the house is as pictured but when seen in person, you can clearly see the wear and tear of large groups staying here. The bathrooms and showers were not ideal and had a unpleasant odor. The "queen" beds are two twin mattress pushed together. The pool did not look enticing with just a few old chairs lined outside. You could also see and hear construction workers from the bedroom windows - again, not ideal. When we arrived, loud music was playing from the property across the street. Perhaps this is not common but it did turn us off. We also noticed cans of RAID outside the locked storage closet, leading us to believe we may need to use it.
After we toured the property, we decided to walk down to the beach to see if this could be our "saving grace" to just stay here but we also found the beach to be an eye sore with huge sand bag pillars set in the ocean which hindered the view.
All of these things combined, led us to make the decision to book a hotel elsewhere. As a couple, we were looking for VIP amenities, relaxation, clean, comfortable accommodations. This property is much more suited to large groups looking to party and just have a good time. Not ideal for a couple at all.
Vasiliy and Alex were very understanding. Many of these things were out of their control. This was just not what we had envisioned.
We really enjoyed our stay at this place. What you see on the pictures is exactly what you get. Vasiliy is a great guy also. He was very quick to respond and available every time we needed help. Highly recommend this place.
EXCELLENT SERVICE! If i could give 6 stars, I would. From start to finish Vasiliy was 110% helpful with transportation (cheap!), communication, and recommendations for the area. Property was very clean and spacious. Hospitality is Vasiliy's #1 concern. I hope all my Airbnb interactions are as smooth as this one. Thank you!
Wow! What a great experience! Vasilily communicated with us every step of our trip from arrival till the time we left the Dominican Republic. After chatting with him I can tell he takes a lot of pride in delivering a 5 star experience to his guests. From transportation to excursions he will take care of everything. Just relax and have a good time!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Vasiliy's. He was very prompt to answer any of our questions and arrange every part of our Dominican Vacation that we needed help with. Una experiencia magnífiica!
This AirBnB really checked all the boxes! Not only was it comfortable and clean, but also in walking distance to shops, a super market, a private pool as well as a really nice country club pool, and of course the golf course. But even if these things weren't a short walk away, we were so happy to find that Vasiliy (our host) also provided transportation service! His service even picked us up from our previous AirBnB and took our friends to the air port even though they weren't even staying at the location! We also got a ride to the air port after our stay. SO convenient!!
Overall, it was a relaxing, enjoyable, hassle-free, stay!
Upon arriving in Vasiliy's apartment, I was blown away by the breathtaking view of the beach! The inside of the apartment was very clean, very modern, and very well decorated. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were very nice and had great shower heads. The porch was fantastic, hanging out with friends while the sea breeze keeps you cool was a great way to spend our last night in Bavaro. I will 100% book his apartment again when I return to Punta Cana!
The best thing about this place is its proximity to the beach, bars, restaurants and grocery shops. If you stay in this area you have free access to the lounge beds on the beach. The negatives are the following: apartment was not very clean, sandy, somewhat greasy kitchen. The shower had barely any hot water and difficult to use. Bedroom got flooded during the rainy night. Otherwise, Vasiliy and his crew were helpful and ready to take care of our needs.
es el mejor departamento frente a la playa de Los Corales, las instalaciones perfectas y uno camina directamente a la playa; ideal para familias o para tres parejas de amigos que no quieran el stress de los resorts; en el pueblito a 500 mts hay de todo lo necesario: mini-markets, restaurantes, de todo; ampliamente recomendable
Vasiliy was amazing and so was the condo. He and his staff could not have been more helpful in helping plan our adventures. I highly recommend this condo and if I make it back to the Dominican, I'll be sure to stay with Vasiliy again!
While we were unable to stay due to an approaching storm shortened our stay on the island, Vasiliy was extremely communicative and understanding of the situation.
I have to say the staying at the property is a lifetime experience. This is my first time airbnb experience and Vasiliy makes me want to use airbnb in my next trip. His hospitality is amazing and I learned so much from him. I recommend staying at his property whenever you have a chance!
Excelentes atenciones de parte de Vasiliy, de Alex y todo el staff, el lugar es precioso, tranquilo y todo correspondia a lo descrito en su publicacion, buena ubicacion, cerca de la playa y del centro comercial, asi como de las actividades y amenidades del lugar, definitivamente recomendable, y yo en lo personal volveria a rentar.
Just returned to Michigan after an 8 day visit to Vasiliy ' Punta Cana penthouse. We are so glad that we did not do the 'safe' thing and book at one of the resorts. This was our first time visiting and even though we had very little knowledge of spanish language and culture, we really felt that we were experiencing Punta Cana. Alex, Vasiliys assistant went above and beyond to help us book excursions with trusted guides and was always available if we needed help with language or even finding an atm. The penthouse was just as described. Beautiful, spacious, and clean. The location was perfect as well. It was a short walk to the best restaurants and shops. Walking to the right of the condo, you will find Canoa, a beach front bar/cafe where they make an amazing coco loco, fresh juices, and cocktails. We were able to sit in beach lounges while sipping from coconuts. The beach and water were amazing, never crowded . to the left of the condo, there are lots of great places to eat. No dinner reservation required! Our favorite place was Wacamole. The ceviche was delish and people there welcomed us like family. We made memories and friends. We are already planning our next visit. Can't wait to come back and visit again!
