About this property

"The Lost City" with Sandra Bullock was filmed here. 5 min. from Las Galeras

We are just 5 minutes from Las Galeras and can help arrange tours to the beach of Fronton, Madama, Rincon, La Playita, Cayo Levantado, the El Limon waterfalls and other area attractions. He can also make sure you find the supermarkets, banks and restaurants. Since he has worked at the Cove for nearly 20 years, he knows the area well. All my apartments are at the Cove, a small group of beach front, ocean view apartments, just 200 feet from the ocean.
This modern apartment serves as your home base from which you can explore the peninsula. Arrange deep sea diving and sport fishing excursions with The Dive Academy. You can snorkel at some of the most beautiful beaches, including Playa Rincon, Playa Las Galeras, El Valle, and Playa Fronton. Seasoned scuba divers can explore shipwrecks from throughout the centuries.

Come see the humpback whales breach out of the water, from January to March, each year, when they come to mate and have their offspring!!!

In between you and the ocean is the pool, with a swim up bar. Grill local fish on the charcoal barbeque, or stay inside and cook in the full kitchen. It features a view of Samana bay, and a private beach, only a few steps away.

Since I own two other apartments, I can accommodate groups of up to 12 people.

A week of paradise
The condo is amazing. You are secluded and away from everything. Patrick was awesome to work with and Coco was amazing! They both assured we had everything we wanted…Coco even picked up some bananas for me. We loved hanging out at the pool and visiting with other guests. It was a great week of reconnecting with my husband. Even got one of the puzzles out and did it together.

Excellent, quiet, and very clean place
It's an excellent choice for people who wants to be on a quiet place with a (almost) private beach for themselves and a beautiful swiming pool. Is a 5 minute drive from the town of Las Galeras with their beautiful beach (same name) and little but very good restaurants. I think i have almost 10 years coming and is wonderful every time i come.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick Reilley

Host profile image
This is my escape from the long dreary winters of Northeast USA!! When touring the Dominican Republic, I fell in love with the Samana peninsula. We try to visit a few times per year, and we enjoy sharing the beauty of the island with other vacationers when we are not there.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property, because I got tired of the same old thing. I wanted to do something different everyday, and enjoy nature. I found this place after a tour of the whole island, and when I saw the view of the ocean, and enjoyed a dip in the infinity pool, I knew that I had to make this happen.

What makes this property unique

Here you have the privacy and tranquility of a small beach, but if you drive a few miles, you can enjoy some of the larger beaches like Rincon or El Valle. All of the beaches here at the tip of the Samana peninsula are mostly undeveloped. You can enjoy a true Dominican meal at one of the rustic outdoor restaurants or bring your own cooler with some food and cold Dominican rum and Coke!
