Beyond our expectations!
The month we spent in your beautiful condo was really not a slice of paradise, it was the whole pie! The view from the balcony was mesmerizing. The condo was so bright, airy, clean, well appointed and equipped, and the kitchen & bathroom remodels were a nice surprise. The grounds are well manicured, pools cleaned daily, security is great, and the beach was just gorgeous, water turquoise and warm. We really loved this community of Playa Turquesa, we met wonderful people and can’t wait to come back. We also put to good use all the advice you shared on restaurants and had a wonderful culinary experience too. So many excellent restaurants just steps away. The only thing we regret is not staying longer! Thanks for everything Gretchen and Pete, we will be back.

Beautiful Condo and Fantastic Beach
This was our 3rd time at Playa Turquesa and 2nd time in condo P405. Gretchen is a wonderful host !. The apartment is great and the pictures do not do it justice, they do not show the beautifully renovated kitchen, with super large sink, nor the two very nice spacious bathrooms which have glass walls (not a shower curtain). The outdoor furniture is of high quality and lots of comfy pillows on the furniture on the rooftop. There is still noise from the nearby restaurants/bars and disco. Apartments in Complex P ending in 1 or 5 have the bedrooms facing the street. We had earplugs and white noise machines. The complex has undergone several updates last year. Playa Turquesa has a new management and several people on the Owner’s board are actively working with the management on improvements. Many palapa’s and sun loungers have been added to the beach area, which is really wonderful !!. There is also now a tractor and rake, which cleans up the seaweed everyday, making the beach pristine. There was a reverse osmosis system installed (no more smelly water). The local bus to Jumbo is easy to take and costs 50 DOP (pp), most people wait for it in front of the unfinished apartment complex building facing Plaza Turquesa. There are also several “Poppi” taxi’s (just make sure you negotiate the fare with the driver). Uber has become very popular, clean cars and very reliable (make sure to use UberX) and we used it several times from Jumbo back to the complex.

fantastic condo
The condo is beautiful. It is spacious, clean, and well equipped. Both patios are fantastic. The location is great because there are many restaurants and little grocery stores close by, but the only downside of that is that it was a bit too noisy at night (for us). The property manager and owner were both extremely helpful and easy to communicate with.

A perfect relaxing October vacation
The property is exactly as advertised and frankly even better in person because pictures don't show depth and height of the rooms very well (it's located on the top floor so the ceilings are higher and there are two levels of outdoor space!). The beach is a few minutes walk away and 24 hr security at the beach and front gates. All the workers were very friendly and kind. We especially appreciated the two men who cleaned and set up our chairs at the beach each day. I was also really really happy with the firmness of the king mattress (it's so common at places to find saggy, uncomfortable beds). The place is stocked with everything you'll need, including a million towels! The washer is small so we found ourselves doing laundry regularly and we only ran AC in the bedrooms at night, so our electricity bill was really good after 14 days! As vegans, we cooked almost daily because vegan options are very limited or non-existent at most restaurants. So we were elated to find the grocery (a 2 min walk away) was stocked with frozen vegan meat alternatives and the kitchen had all the tools we needed! The nearby Pizza Napoli also has a vegan menu. Yay! Nearby bars had friendly staff and great drinks, live music, karaoke and more. Communication with Markitto, one of the property managers was easy and check-in and out was very smooth. My only two criticisms are: as it's stated, the nearby clubs across the street blast music at night and you can hear 2-3 different songs overlapping until at least 2-3 am; though the roller shutters helped dampen the sound and provide a wonderfully dark rooms, earplugs are necessary for sleep (not a big deal for us and we were prepared). Secondly, the non-stick coating on two of the pans has worn off. There is a stainless steel one we used instead but the two non-stick pans need replacing. All in all it was a perfect vacation and we would stay at Gretchen and Pete's place again!

My husband and I live in Pittsburgh, PA. I work as a kindergarten teacher. My husband drives for UPS. We love being able to escape our busy lives and relax at the beach, ocean and pools. We've supplied our condo with everything we could think of to make it so easy to visit!

Why they chose this property

My husband and I have always loved traveling. Punta Cana is one of our favorite destinations. We love the people, the turquoise water, and the endless beautiful beaches.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite feature is our rooftop terrace. We love being able to relax under the stars with a drink in hand listening to local Dominican music.
