The Cove condominiums do not disappoint!
This was a very nice condo complex. The beach was clean, and the water was very calm for swimming. The grounds and pool are very well kept. Everyone we met was very friendly. The house had everything we needed and it was clean and comfortable. We actually had an opportunity to meet the owners, Claire and Lee, and they were really great! As we prepared for our trip, I contacted Claire several times with questions. She was great about responding and giving advice. They met us at our car rental, took us to a local restaurant, and then led the way to the condo. They are really great people and we were glad to have met them. If you are looking for something that is nice, but not a typical tourist resort, this is absolutely the way to go. We would book again without hesitation!

Wonderful Experience
My husband and I loved our time at Claire's place in Samaná. It's very spacious, clean, and well-equipped. We spotted whales from the balcony the first night! We cooked a few times and had the basic equipment necessary. The pool is well cared for, with a gorgeous view. The beach is great, though rough at times depending on weather. Checking in/out with Katia was simple. We felt safe always. The condo is in a great spot to head out exploring various parts of the peninsula. Highly recommend. Hope to return in the future!!

Beautiful Condo in Gorgeous Remote Location
We loved our stay at this property, and will return! The listing was accurate and everything about our stay was delightful. If you're planning to cook for yourself, be aware that the D.R. doesn't have the same grocery offerings as other locations you might be familiar with. We wanted to cook a lot of our own meals, and it became challenging to find common ingredients...but it also made it an adventure! The kitchen could use some attention in the area of cooking supplies - sharp knives, bowls, measuring cups, etc. But that's a minor complaint for such a great property. Everyone associated with this listing from property manager to gate guard to pool attendant was fabulous. Book today. You'll be so glad you did!

Great vacation!
This is the 2nd time that I have come to this place and I absolutely love it! The apt was very clean, kitchen is fully equipped. The manager and owner are very responsive. My husband and I had our coffee every morning right on the beach while our teenagers enjoyed the pool. We can not wait to go back and visit : )

Great place
The cove is the most beautiful place in the DR, in my opinion. You'll love Claire's condo with easy access to a gorgeous pool and beach. The property management is incredibly friendly, too.

About the host

Hosted by Claire Rock

Host profile image
We have been enjoying The Cove since 2006 and recently purchased this Condo for rental. All amenities are included for an 'at home' feeling.

Why they chose this property

The scenery is spectacular. Secluded and protected Cove with crystal clear water, set to a backdrop of water and mountains. Wake up to magnificent sunrises and colourful sunsets. Migrating Whales can be seen from the beach January through March.

What makes this property unique

2nd story condo with amazing panoramic unobstructed views, cathedral ceilings, excellent breeze, and 2nd floor adds privacy, split units that are more quiet and more efficient than regular air conditioning units. Sidewalk around the building and leading to the street.
