Perfect Paradise
The villa is better than advertised and the location is exactly what we wanted. Quiet and secluded enough to allow us to unwind while within walking distance of some fun places to eat, drink and meet the friendly locals. The staff and support team are amazing and accommodated our every need. A visit to Sosúa and Puerto Plata made even our rainy day one to remember. The owner communicated with me often and made sure our trip to Cabarete was one we wouldn’t forget. I highly recommend this property.

Villa Celeste is an absolutely stunning and well kept home in the most beautiful location. From the spacious bedrooms, the ample living spaces, modern kitchen, clean and large pool, immaculate grounds, a walking beach that is jaw dropping, to the most hard working and friendly staff, this place is everything and more that is listed. We had two weeks with eight friends and enjoyed every minute. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Everything was amazing at Villa de Celeste! This villa is a must! Literally a dream vacation, whether your hanging around the house in the pool or beachside or your out and about exploring it was all amazing! Dorka, Franklin and Arsenio were all fantastic and made the trip even more amazing than what it was. As soon as you pull into Hideaway Beach the villas are gorgeous! Villa de Celeste will definitely be a repeat on our vacation spots!!! Franklin is the driver and has an amazing sense of humor and is VERY helpful in your experience to getting around and showing you the tour spots and pointing out spots he feels you should see and know about. Arsenio is the chef and is an AMAZING chef! Everything was delicious and I’m not talking about a small meal. You will not leave the table hungry. The restaurants Franklin suggested were all really good. We didn’t have 1 meal that wasn’t great. Dorka is the house keeper that cleans, makes breakfast and lunch! She is so sweet and soft spoken & also a great cook! All of the staff at Villa de Celeste were extremely humble and appreciative of everything!!!! If you are questioning your stay here look no further!!

You won't be disappointed.
From the moment that we booked, Celeste was incredibly communicative and helpful. The property is just as described - beatiful, inviting and comfortable. Our kids loved swimming the pool and everyone enjoyed gathering in the outside seating area for conversation, cocktails and delicious dinners prepared by Chef Arsenio. The beach is perfect for walks (rough for swimming, but our group never wanted to leave the pool anyway). The neighborhoood bar and restaurant was a short, 5-minute walk from the property and had wonderful food - we enjoyed eating multiple meals there. And don't miss the surfer community just beyond - the cutest little shacks serving coffee, smoothies and yummy bites. The whole experience felt authentic and comfortable. Celeste is amazing and has a staff to match. This place is not to be missed. We will be back!

Incredible Stay and Experience !!
Where do I start. We were a group of two families, 4 adults and 4 children(ages 6+9). To say our vacation was wonderful would be a severe under statement. We had such an incredible stay and experience. The House is Beautiful and has everything you could possibly need and more. The property is in a very private gated community in hideaway beach with Full security who were all so very friendly. Celeste was Amazing and quick to respond to any questions and had lots of suggestions on where to go and what to do. The girls/staff we Loved So Much…they cooked our breakfast and lunches as well as cleaned and did laundry daily. We hired the private Chef, Arsenio, who also did our arrival shopping for us, highly recommend. He made us the most Amazing meals and helped make my Husbands Birthday Extra Special! We also enjoyed takeout and dining out at Coconuts just a few doors down within the property right on the beach. Celeste helped us coordinate horseback riding who met us with the horses right in front of the property on the beach. And Encuentro Beach is a short walk down the beach with surf lessons and breakfast/lunch shacks that make delicious meals. I could go on forever. Waking up to the beach every day and having all this house has to offer and more made this A perfect Vacation! 10/10! We can’t wait to come back!!!

Spectacular home, spectacular host
For starters, Celeste is not your typical VRBO host. Celeste was always available to answer any questions, arrange transportation, gave restaurant suggestions, etc. It was so awesome to have her available as first time visitors to the area. We unexpectedly had to extend our stay and she was so accommodating and helpful! Our family will never forget you Celeste. As for the house....It rocks. Located in a gated community, directly on a beautiful beach and staffed with wonderful people. The house staff were so lovely and helpful-you will be spoiled. Daily prepared breakfasts and lunches, cleaning and laundry-we were very spoiled! Security was always around-always felt safe and they were so friendly. House built for large groups with awesome pool and outdoor space with amazing beach views. Take a short walk down the beach to Coconuts for a drink and dinner! The interior of the home has 5 ensuite bedrooms, great kitchen, multiple living spaces and decorated with lovely artwork. We loved our stay at Villa Celeste! Now go spoil yourself!

Celeste, the owner, was very accomodating. The house was much nicer than all the pictures, cleanliness, bug sprays in the yard, hot tub, maid and chef service...all were excellent. The resort needs much needed spruce ups. The landscaping of the resort and road to the home were below par. Would definitely come back again..

Great stay with family
My family loved our stay at Celeste’s house. The cleaning staff were great, and when we brought groceries, they cooked delicious breakfast and lunches. We definitely recommend taking advantage of having them pre-shop for groceries before you get there to help the first day of settling in. Celeste was responsive to our questions as we settled in and got our bearings. Drivers were available and very friendly. Beach was beautiful. It was clearly a bit dangerous in terms of potential Riptides/undertoe , but we(kids) played in the shallower areas a touch away from the flat water just in front of the house, and also took the short 10-15 drive to nearby beaches that were a bit calmer. Pretty cool expat style surfing schools nearby, too. Loved our time at this house!

Wonderful Vacation
I want to start by saying this vacation was a once in a lifetime. My experience was beyond 5 stars. As you have read in the other reviews Celeste was a remarkable VRBO host. She was responsive from the time we booked the house up until we where home from vacation. Her and her staff are top notch. Franklyn is a prize. We all fell in love with him. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and kept our safety in mind. Dorka and her co-worker were amazing. They cooked us breakfast daily and lunch a couple days. Yummy food! They also cleaned daily and kept the house spotless. We had Celeste pre-order food which was very nice. We also chose to have Celeste's chef come and make dinner 1 night. Boy this was special. The food was amazing....really unbelievable. And we had enough for a second nights meal as well. As for Villa Celeste, this was an amazing house. The grounds, pool, hot tub and patios were perfect. The only negative I would say about the whole experience was the sleeping arrangement. Which we could of probably changed ourselves. The 3 rooms open to the front of the house as well as patio doors to the back yard. It was stressful to have all of our kids in those rooms. We worried about their safety at night. HOWEVER....there was security around the clock on the property and she has cameras on the outside of the house. We had 2 families, 4 adults, 2 teenagers, and 3 kids. It was a perfect house for all of us! HIGHLY recommend!

Gorgeous property and location!
This home was fabulous and perfect for our group of 10! We enjoyed it so much we rarely left the property. IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN YOUR GROUP, be advised that 3 of the 5 rooms have separate entrances from the house. Since our kids are adults this worked perfectly, but would have been an issue if they were under 18, in my opinion. Celeste was more than helpful with any questions we had and the staff was also WONDERFUL!

Best Vacation Ever!
Our stay at Villa Celeste was amazing! It exceeded every expectation. The house and the grounds are gorgeous and the location is perfect. Celeste is a wonderful hostess and went above and beyond to answer questions and make our stay as perfect as possible. We had a group of 9 adults and celebrated my 50th birthday in such a memorable way. I could not have asked for more. The staff are friendly, thorough, and prepared wonderful meals. We enjoyed 2 meals at home with Chef Arsenio and loved everything he prepared, as well as his friendly demeanor. Franklin was always available to help and quickly became one of our favorite people! He knows everyone and is one of the most likeable people I have met. In addition to the yummy meals we had a Villa Celeste, we loved walking over to Coconuts restaurant (about 6 doors down) for meals. Beautiful views and great menu selection. A day trip to Playa Caleton was fabulous as well. We all plan to come back to Villa Celeste and have already recommended it to many of our friends. Stay at this Villa, you will not be disappointed!

Wonderful Experience
The owner of this property (Celeste) went above and beyond to provide my wife and I and our guests the most amazing experience we could have asked for. We communicated frequently before the trip, she was 100% cooperative when we needed to make changes to the schedule. She had the house stocked as we requested and had a incredible chef come and prepare and serve dinners. The home was perfect for our guest , great common areas and plenty of privacy in the rooms. Overall one of the best VRBO experience's we've had.

Outstanding Family Vacation
Our family included 7 adults and two 6 year old boys. Perfect number of bedrooms and baths. The pool was a big hit with the boys and the adults. It was clean and the housekeepers kept us well stocked with dry pool towels. Celeste is a perfect host and helped answer a lot of questions before we arrived. We only asked Franklin to meet us at the airport upon arrival and allow us to follow him in our rented van to the house. Thereafter, we didn't call upon him to drive us because we had a large van and drove ourselves. We had all breakfasts and lunches in the house with dinners at a few recommended restaurants. We highly recommend Bliss and Chef Alfanzo (Anne will stock the kitchen for a small fee). Cieba is good for both pizza (they deliver) and pasta at the restaurant which is fairly close. We like grocery shopping, so we asked Anne to buy a few items for our first night and next day breakfast. Shopp at the grocery in Sosua not at Janets. Be aware, their ATM machines at the grocery and at the banks will only dispense 10,000 pesos (about $180) at a time. Alfanzo and many other restaurants do not accept credit cards. Many of the restaurant bills were presented in both pesos and US$, so you can bring US$. The towns are typical Island towns with bad sidewalks and lots of restaurants. If you drive, note that many cars ignore the stop lights. In summary, we will be back and maybe next year we will actually leave the house.

Worth every penny!
Absolutely fantastic place to stay! From the moment Franklin picked us up from the airport - we fell in love with the Dominican! The house is gorgeous. Perfect for two families - (we could have invited another family!) The pool was clean and beautiful. Even better than the photos show it. We couldn't believe that we had essentially our own private beach, hardly any people. Perfect for the kids to play in the sand and jump the waves. Too rough for swimming, but perfect to wade. Dorka is a great cook! The food was so good. Make sure you have her prepare the Chicken/rice/beans Dominican lunch. So good! Can't say enough good things about this place! Thank you Villa Celeste for being a wonderful place to stay! One word of advice- fly into Puerto Plata. We flew into Santiago - 1.5hr drive :)
