Steve's Condo is lovely. We stayed here for a week in late June and early July. From the view of the ocean from the balconies, to the quiet beauty of the pool and property - this is where you want to be in Cabarete.
This condo is great for a girl's trip with three friends or a couple or a family. Everyone was friendly and more than willing to help non-spanish speakers find their way. I would definitely rent this condo again for my next trip to the Dominican. Thank you Steve for everything! |

| Enjoyed a great couple of days at this condo during early May. The condo is beautiful and we could not have been happier. So great to relax on the balcony while enjoying the consistent breeze off the water. Love Cabarete and love this condo! |

We stayed at Steve’s condo over spring break. The
condo is very nicely laid out and furnished. Our
daughter was happy in the downstairs bedroom
and we enjoyed the spacious master bedroom with
the view of the ocean. We saw pictures of other
condo’s in the area that are sparsely furnished with
local furniture. In contrast, Steve has done a very
nice job of furnishing it with items that I’d say are
“Pottery Barn” type quality. The artwork is really nice
too. Overall our stay was fantastic. The pool was
very nice. The hot tub isn’t all that hot, but then
again, it didn’t matter. The condo is gated with a
guard attending 24/7. Same for the beach access.
Didn’t seem like that was really necessary, but it
did make us feel safer about leaving our things in
the condo when we left. We enjoyed Cabarete for
the beach and dining, then retreated to the air-
conditioned master bedroom to watch one of
Steve’s many DVD’s before bed. The unit is set back
a bit from the smaller units, so the view looks
between the other condos. That didn’t bother us a
bit, and you can see exactly how it looks in the
photos. The beach is swimmable, but has some
coral and the break can build in the afternoon.
Better swimming is found in town or Playa Grande.
If you know how to surf or kite, the beach will work
for that. I’d recommend the condo. Best part was
probably the time and effort that Steve put into
making sure that we knew all about the area, where
to go and what to do. |

| I can still hear the sound of the ocean in my mind The only noise you hear at night is the wonderful sound of the ocean outside the master bedroom. We really enjoyed ourselves and thanks for all the local knowledge and advice with kitesurfing, restaurants, and shopping it saved us a lot of time and everything turned out great. We will be back next year we are hooked! |

| My Finacee and I, along with another couple, spent a very enjoyable holiday break this past December at Steve's Villa. I'd highly recommend this location to others. The condo was very clean, nicely decorated, had a great view, and ideal floor plan offering plenty of privacy for 2 couples. The weather was perfect too. We really enjoyed exploring Cabarete, Sosua and the coast line. The beaches were great, people friendly, and most of all it was a rather inexpensive trip. You will not regret it. |

| Me and my husband went to Dominican Republic and stayed at Steve's condo for almost two weeks for our honeymoon. We went July 28, 2008, and the weather was perfect almost the entire time! Steve made sure our stay was perfect from the beginning. Any questions we had were answered before we got there. The bed upstairs was very comfortable and the shower was really nice also. During our stay we had Santa cook for us and we absolutely LOVED everything she cooked! The staff at the condo's were very nice, and we never felt unsafe. We rented a scooter for the duration of our stay to get around...which was needed (for us anyway), although you could walk. We had dinner at the resort next door a few times. Overall, our stay was incredible! We are definitely planning another trip! Thanks Steve! |

| My husband, 7-year old and I stayed in this very relaxing condo from June 10-17, 2008. It's perfectly situated just outside of busy Cabarete--a one minute drive or 10-minute or less walk--into town. The loudest sound around is the ocean's lullaby. The pictures on the website are identical to what you will experience and the twin beds in the first floor bedroom are very comfortable. The full bathroom on this level has a bathtub. The second-floor bedroom--which is the entire second floor--has a very comfortable king-sized bed, and the bathroom comprises of a large open shower. There is a lot of closet space in both bedrooms and thick, soft towels and washcloths are at your disposal. The ceilings are really high and all of the rooms are spacious throughout the residence so you won't ever feel claustrophobic. We never heard any of the other residents outside of the apartment because these beautiful buildings are made of decorative concrete. The pool was warm and inviting and properly tested and cleaned daily and the beach was lovely. You can walk for miles until you get tired. Most importantly, though, the people of the Dominican Republic are very welcoming and friendly to tourists. We had the most relaxing and exciting vacation ever as there are a lot of activities that one can do. The staff on the premises are very kind and helpful. Antonia cleaned the apartment daily and was very efficient. Jose, one of the property assistants, was extraordinarily helpful and kind. We used Santa the cook who prepared our meals which all turned out tasty and healthful. As this was our first trip to the DR, I absolutely LOVED the north coast and I highly recommend staying in this beautiful condo on a beautiful stretch of beach. Thanks Steve for making it available! We truly enjoyed ourselves! |

Visiting the Dominican Republic, for the first time from California, my wife, and 3 year old daughter did not know what to expect, as we are used to just visiting mexico..Upon arrival, we were very pleased with Steve's villa...it is quite large, with 2 full floors of living space...my daughter was in the first floor guest room, and my wife and I absolutely loved the master suite upstairs...their is a full wall of sliding glass doors, which open up to amazing ocean views...the furnishings, linens, towels, etc, were all brand new, and very nice..every detail, from the kitchen, to the movies and cd's, made our vacation great...The Development is in a great location, we found the close proximity to town and all the action was great, yet we had peace and quiet, enjoying the beach and pool at the development...We did use Santa, the cook, she and her daughter were lovely, and their food delicious...she evn cleaned up, and for the price...you cant beat that...We did have a few meals in cabarete, and enjoyed ali surf camo, and the german rest...the best...We did go to playa grande for an afternoon, as well as ocean world..both were worth the trip...Our maid antonia, and mario were very nice, our whole stay...Before our trip, the owner steve was very sincere in wanting us to have a great trip, and we certainly did have a wonderful stay...thanks Steve....hope to book again next year....i did also want to mention that the locals in the dominican republic are all very nice we and hospitable people, which made us feel very safe and welcome...

| Great vacation! Terrific condo (brand new, safe and secure and very welcoming - decks were great - all you hear is the ocean) and a perfect location. We enjoyed our stay very much. Community is kind and very eager to help. Beautiful beaches and laid-back feeling at night. Relaxing is top priority. |
