Read before booking…
We booked this VRBO because of the location linked in the listing. Both maps in the listing linked to a property in Ocean Dreams, however when we arrived at the pin sent to us via the property manager, the property was actually 1.8KM away, in an area called Playa Ventoso. Our friends had booked a condo in Ocean Dreams to be near to us, since that is what was listed on VRBO. When we called the owner he stated that he knew the location was wrong and said that addresses don’t exist in the DR… which is interesting because Google Maps works just fine :) He said he would include it in the listing from here on out but in case he doesn’t, now you know :) We called Vrbo about the incorrect location and they said it was in the acceptable range and wouldn’t do anything about it.The door code we were given was wrong so we had to have the guard call the property manager back to get a new code. That code only lasted a day, so they eventually gave us a key. The AC didn’t work well so we waited around for an hour to have someone come fix that. The sliders didn’t lock, either. The property is in a super windy part of Cabarete (hence the name Playa Ventoso - windy beach). The property itself and the condo is pretty. It is located on the 3rd floor. We felt safe and enjoyed our time but spent more time at our friend’s condo due to the multiple lock issues, wind, and location. There are no instructions about how to get more drinking water, where to take care of trash, etc.
