Villa Flamingo; Sleeps 8; not 10,Waterfall, Oceanfront Pool, Hot Tub

The beautiful Beach Pavillion is shared with the Villa Belvedere guests; the green villa right next to Villa Flamingo. There are few times, if ever, that there is any actual need to share the pavillion.

Private Oceanfront Hot Tub For 4!

WHEN DECIDING ON WHICH VILLA TO RENT, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VILLA HAS A DIESEL GENERATOR BACK UP POWER AND AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH. THIS VILLA DOES.
IT IS A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE TO INSTALL A 20 KW DIESEL GENERATOR AND MAINTAIN IT IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION, SO, MANY VILLAS RELY ONLY UPON BATTERIES AND INVERTERS OR LITTLE PORTABLE GENERATORS THAT DIE AFTER AN HOUR RUNNING AND CAN NOT RUN THE AIR CONDITIONING. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THE BATTERIES DISCHARGE AFTER AN HOUR OR SO AND YOU ARE LEFT WITHOUT LIGHTS OR AIR CONDITIONING.
IT IS VERY COMMON TO HAVE POWER OUTAGES IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. IT'S BEST TO BE SURE AND STAY IN A VILLA WITH A DIESEL GENERATOR.

Villa Flamingo is the most luxurious OCEANFRONT vacation residence in Cabarete, Domincan Republic period! Private infinity pool with swim up bar including staircase leading from the pool to your bedroom. its second to none. Villa Flamingo is not just another beach front rental property, but a luxury designed villa, complete with all Italian marble floors, waterfalls, 4 bedrooms; 3 with private en-suites, oceanfront pool with swim up bar, WATERFALL, 2nd floor patio and sun chairs, outside wet bar and wood/coal BBQ, full modern kitchen, private 2 story patio, maid, 24 hour electricity, generator backup, gardener/beach caretaker, all designed and furnished with quality furniture and fine art.

Beach Front on an expansive secluded beach, Villa Flamingo is near the downtown of Cabarete, as well as the police station, pharmacy, banks, grocery stores and restaurants. Once you enter the gates of our stone laid courtyard, your new luxury vacation villa will be just steps away. The soft pastel pink and white color of Villa Flamingo will make you realize that you are about to begin your Caribbean vacation in a real Caribbean tranquil atmosphere..

RECOMENDATIONS FOR ACTIVITIES AND TOURS:

DAY 1; HORSEBACK RIDING BEACH AND MOUNTAINS

If you are renting for a week, a horseback ride on the beach is a nice way to start your vacation, followed by an afternoon in the pool.

DAY 2; BEACH TOUR DAY

Another fantastic way to spend the day is to hire a taxi to do a beach tour. This brings you to several very interesting and fun places including a small plantatian, a hidden waterfall where you can watch the locals dive from very high perches, The Blue Lagoon, where you can zip line off a cliff and dive into a 70' deep cenote. At the same stop, you can explore an ancient cave.

After the zip lining and swimming, it;s time for lunch on Playa Grande Beach. This beach has been voted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world! The fresh seafood and chicken on the menu and drinks including coco locos and pina coladas will leave you ready to continue exploring one or two more beaches. I recommend Playa Diamonte where you can find fresh water sulphur springs bubbling up from the sand on the beach and can walk out 300 yards and still be in waste deep calm clear water. Another beautiful beach is Playa Calleton.

DAY 3; MONKEY JUNGLE ZIP LINING

Monkey Jungle is a short 30 minute ride from the villa.
A Taxi can take you there in his van (up to 6).
They have a pretty intense zip line circuit. They also have a really cool monkey habitat where you can feed the small monkeys as they sit on your shoulders and heads and eat out of your hand! If you don't want to zipline, you can just do the monkey jungle and sit at the bar to wait for the zip liners to return.

DAY 4; CABARETE BEACH MASSAGE AND SHOPPING

A day at Cabarete beach is a very relaxing way to pass a day in this wonderful beach town. Many of the establishments will not charge you to use their beach chairs if you buy a drink or snack from them. While on the beach, there are vendors in blue shirts that are licensed to give massages and pedicures on the beach.
It's a must to have an on beach massage followed by a mani-pedi while drinking a cold beer or pina colada. Very relaxing indeed! There are also many shops to explore in town if you need a break from the beach.

DAY 5; PRIVATE CHEF AT VILLA AND MASSAGE

If you are tired of having fun away from the villa, hire our private chef to indulge you with their fantastic meals throughout the day and night. They will meet you the day before to prepare the menu for the next day and stock the fridge with groceries necessary to prepare breakfast the next morning. After breakfast, they will prepare the menu you desire for lunch and dinner then go shopping. This is beyond any doubt most guest's favorite experience during their stay! If you want the ultimate in relaxation, couple the chef experience with a full day of massages, manicures and pedicures poolside or on the beach and you are in for a real treat.

DAY 6; SOSUA BEACH AND PUERTO PLATA CABLE CAR

A morning ride into Puerto Plata to take the cable car to the top of Isabella del Torres is a memorable experience. The views from the top of the mountain are breathtaking! There are also trails and gardens that you explore on top, as well as a little restaurant.
After the cable car, ask your taxi driver to take you to the old fort where you can learn a little history about the area. Then, on to the Amber museum.
After the Amber Museum, a little snorkelling and lunch at Sosua Beach will be a great way to wrap up your week. The shopping at Sosua Beach is much more affordable than in Cabarete.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

Other suggestions that can be explored in addition to or instead of those listed above are Ocean World, 27 Waterfalls, a visit to Santo Domingo, quad tour of the mountains and beach, mountain biking, kite surfing, surfing, sailing, deep sea fishing, catamaran snorkeling, night out in Sosua and Cabarete, UFO Museum, Brugal Rum factory tour, Rio San Juan Boat Ride..........The options are endless.

Perfect for Family Vacation
We had an amazing experience at the Flamingo Villa. The area is beautiful and so much to do. Though we couldn’t swim at the beach right in front of the villa, we had an amazing pool and epic views! (The swimming beach is not far )The villa was perfect for our family (8 people). And we had family and friends in two other villas on the property - 20 people total!! We had the chef a couple of days and she did an amazing job cooking local cuisine. Thanks Jenny - it was delicious!! Jeremy was our go-to for whatever we needed. He was so very helpful. And having Eduardo and his folks as our drivers for the week made it easy and fun to get around. Golf one day, waterfalls another and ended the week with a full afternoon snorkeling off a catamaran around reefs off Sosúa Beach! Can’t wait to go back! Thank you Frank for all your EXTREMELY helpful tips! This is the place to go to vacation and RELAX ... do it all or none of it. There’s no way you won’t enjoy your stay!!!

The staff were amazing!
My family and I had a wonderful time staying in the Villa Flamingo. The staff here were wonderful, with Jeremy being very helpful with setting up excursions and even coming out in the middle of night in a rainstorm to fix a small leak around a window. We also used chef, Yenny, to cook for us our last day. She was great, prepared some fresh fish we had caught the day before which was delicious. Caberete is a nice little town, with a ton of shops and restaraunts right on the beach. It was a great time walking along the shore downtown, exploring all the local places. La Casita de Papi was particularily good. Overall, had a wonderful time and I'd definetly reccomend this place!

Absolute Paradise!
Villa Flamingo was even better than we imagined. The house is spectacular and is better than the pictures! The only sound you hear is the ocean and the view is stunning while sitting out by the pool or many lovely outdoor sitting areas. The beach is very private. When we looked out in any direction you were either the only ones or you may see a few others pass by throughout the day. Unlike in the town of Cabarete, it is very peaceful. The house is about 2 miles from town. You can take a 40 min walk down the beach to get there or walk up to the main road and catch a moto-taxi. There are some good restaurants in town but be prepared to be approached may times to buy local goods, hair braiding, tour guides, etc. Janet's Supermarket is in town and has everything you would need to make great meals at the house. The house has a nice kitchen with all the cooking utensils needed. The house staff was fabulous. Jeremy will even crawl up a palm tree and cut you down fresh coconuts. Maria helped us set up massages on the beach and even bought me one as a birthday gift! They all go above and beyond to make you feel safe and help with any vacation needs. Jose was great for transportation to and from the airports. Billy helped us set up the tours we wanted to do. Do NOT miss the Monkey Jungle tour. It was amazing to feed and have Squirrel Monkeys crawl all over you. Absolutely unforgettable! I would definitely stay at this house again and again!

Needs Work
The property looks nice from the outside but it has issues. First of all the wifi did not work on the upper floors. We had not cable t.v and the care taker tried switching the tv with one from a different property .... no good. Any how the mattresses in the small bedrooms on the 1st floor were very uncomfortable. Also the beach was not that attractive or easy to walk on. Also when my group arrived the place was not set up for us. I understand that the place is pet friendly but the suspended couch outside hard dog hair all over it. Now to get to the real problem I have with Frank the owner he is a conman he stated in the advertisement for the villa that there is no parties of more than 10 people allowed which is cool. Then he sticks at the end of a email for the refund policy that you can not have guess for more than one hour. Number one that is kinda of shady because the villa is already paid for, that should have been in the original advertisement on the site under the house rules!!!! When my group checked in the onsite agent for the villa was nowhere to be found but later on when they thought we were having a big party she showed up in 10 minutes making threats about calling the police...lol... that is a scam my friends got scared and wanted to leave the next day I would have stayed and called them on their scam but I was talked out of it In parting I would just like to warn people beware of scams in DR trust nobody and do not underestimate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing location
We spent a month in Villa Flamingo in July and had a wonderful time. The location of the house is absolutely amazing - front row with an breathtaking view of the ocean. The ocean is rough here, but we swam in the ocean every day. If you take care and never get too far out, it's a lot of fun. Also, if you walk about 50 meters to the right on the beach, there is a small patch of calmer water, at least that what's we experienced on many days. I cannot say enouh wonderful things about the staff; they take SO good care of you, and always with a smile. They even helped my practice my Spanish :-) My correspondence with Frank was fantastic - he always answered my MANY questions within a few hours, both many months before our arrival, but also during our stay. The house itself has minor issues of wear and tear, mostly due to weather conditiontions I think, but whenever we mentioned any of these to the staff, or to Frank, they were taken care of immediately. The Dominican Republic is a beautiful country, its people are great and Cabarete is a fun little town to set up tent in. We hope to return one day....

Mixed feelings about Flamingo. Overall, the house grew on us and we enjoyed our stay
The house was spacious for our 6 adults and 2 children. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cook ware, although the fridge barely works and needs replacement. Mercedes, the maid was wonderful. Sara, the chef, made us a few tasty meals. The pool was great for adults but the steep steps are treacherous for little kids. The house is quite secluded and a good 45 minute walk into Cabarete so if you want activity and nearby nightlife, this is not the place for you. It’s very peaceful and quiet and basically the only noise you’ll here is the waves crashing against the shore. The waves are very strong and the beach is not good for swimming. There is 1 restaurant about a 7 minute walk from the house that serves a good breakfast. Frank, the owner was wonderful to deal with.

Couldn't of landed at a better place!
Thank you Frank for your beautiful home and the amazing staff! I travelled with 3 of my dear friends to this beautiful home on the ocean. Every day we woke up to paradise. The staff is top notch! Jeremy climbed the coconut trees to get us fresh coconuts - Mercedes had the home cleaned and beautiful every day. Every one that works at the property went out of their way to make our vacation was wonderful. We had massages at the home our first day. I would highly recommend this. Sarah the chef cooked the best food! Having sarah cook for you is a must! We had amazing left overs for 2 days. We walked 5 minutes down the beach to Martinis... A fantastic happy hour. Jose our driver was there for us with a smile on his face when ever we needed a ride. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this property and staff!

The most fabulous property in DR!!!
After much debate on locations and hotels vs all-inclusives vs a house rental....we decided on The Flamingo in Cabarete and I don't regret our decision one bit. 8 friends stayed in this house and every single one of us want to rebook next year, have told our other friends and family, and want to rent the whole neighborhood!! Frank was phenomenal in his communication with me, even through a hurricane - which PS, "generally" hurricanes don't affect the DR quite in the same way they do many other islands....so don't let that worry you, and you can feel completely confident they'll be honest in saying what is good or not (as far as conditions). Frank answered so many questions, at all hours of the day, sent pictures for reassurance...you name it, he would do it to help me out. The staff that works at the house are equally as impressive. Everyone is very nice and extremely helpful. Some ability to speak Spanish will help a lot, so do your homework! They kept our place clean, they helped us get to town, they made us feel very safe the whole week...someone was always around at the gated entrance, or within the neighborhood to assist with whatever was needed. I would give The Flamingo, Frank, and all the staff a 10 star review if it was an option. Thanks to everyone for a great and very memorable trip. Hope to see you all again soon....please give lots of love to Luna for us!!!

Great location, great weather, and great people.
The house was fantastic with great views of the ocean being just right outside any window. The people that work for Frank are amazing, the security guards don't really speak english but have a translator that works well. Maria the landlord goes above and beyond her duties to make sure everyone is doing well and if need anything. The security dogs are awesome as well especially Luna who is the sweetest dog you will ever meet. Privacy was great definitely a place to escape everything and enjoy your vacation. Getting the chef was also a great thing to have to have a whole day of relaxing and not having to cook. Would totally recommend this Villa to anyone who was thinking of staying here. Thanks to everyone that helped us out and place and vacation were excellent.

Family Fun at Villa Flamingo
Villa Flamingo was a great place to spend a week with our family of 10. As a Christmas present every other year we (the grandparents) give our kids and grandkids (4 of them, now ages 2 to 14) a week together somewhere warm. We've vacationed as a family 8 times in different locations. Having never been to the Dominican Republic, but having heard mixed reviews, we decided to take a chance, and we're very glad we did. All the adults agreed it was the best property so far - enough bedrooms/baths for all, beautiful infinity pool and right on the beach. The kids had a ball swimming in the pool, playing in the sand, walking the beach and looking for crabs at night. Other reviewers have mentioned the rough water, but we are used to Atlantic Ocean waves in the Northeast, and we all went in the water during our stay. We had fun experiences in the local community and never felt uneasy in our forays outside the villa. Our experience may have been different, as none of the other villas in the complex were rented, so we had the entire property to ourselves. Miguel, the maintenance guy, always asked if everything was okay, and immediately addressed any problems. We were happy that our son is more fluent in Spanish than the rest of us, as it helped to converse with the staff. The maid (who also turned out to be our chef) spoke very little English, but we got along just fine with sign language when we didn't have our "translator" close by. An added bonus for us was the direct flight and only a 20-minute transport to and from the villa. Great experience!

“My Wedding at the Fabulous Villa Flamingo”
I recently held my wedding at Villa Flamingo. The Villa is located in a serene spot on the edge of the ocean, away from the hustle and bustle of the Cabarete, but close enough to enjoy Cabarete and Sosua’s vibrant nightlife. This villa is spacious, beautiful and clean. The staff at the villa were exceptional. The chef prepared an excellent traditional Dominican buffet for the wedding guest. Everyone went above and beyond what I required and made my big day one I will never forget! Having a private beach right outside your door is a great way to relieve the stress of planning a wedding. The sunrises and sunsets are beautiful. I whole heartedly recommend them as the ideal venue for your destination wedding. I definitely will be back.

The house and the staff are perfection. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived
The house is very comfortable and the location is perfect. The oceanfront with the spectacular view can't be beat. And for those who are not salt water fans or good swimmers as the rip current can be a bit strong, the pool was excellent. Highly recommend booking the chef. It was the best treat arrive and do absolutely nothing for the entire first day. Lots of beach walking venders, buyer beware. Steer clear of the snorkel trip to paradise island. The snorkeling sucks but the rum makes up for it. Frank is the best. Highly responsive, all questions and requests addressed. Great vacation, highly recommend this property
