Our vacation was everything that we hoped for...The location and home were excellent, very secluded and quiet. Home is beautifully stocked and the support staff managing the home were professional, pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed meals prepared by them, transportation and outings were easily arranged by Franklin, and the massages were amazing. The property is set up with 2 main bedrooms in the main wing and then three separate rooms to the side which were all accessible from the outside and sliding doors on the interior to the pool. They each had their own bathroom and fridge. This was great for our group of adults, but if traveling with kids and depending on these rooms, might need to adjust room assignments. Also, a neighbor who lives there warned us of swimming on the beach in front of the property due to rip currents and high need for rescues with several drownings. We had plenty of areas to enjoy the beach just a short walk away, and access to the beach is simple and is even more beautiful than pics. We watched the kite surfers fly in every afternoon and it was delightful. Few recommendations: Go to the grocery store after you arrive so you only purchase what the home may not have. We overbought, but were happy to leave behind for others (spices, etc). No need for personal vehicle. Access to rides is quick and inexpensive. We explored, ate chocolate and visited nightlife and had a 4 year old with us. Celeste is wonderful resource and quick to respond. We will return.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful, even better than described. Our first trip to DR and It was our first experience of having full-time housekeeping onsite and let me just say, that was truly special. We got to spend all of our time enjoying the many amenities of the property: just steps from beautiful beach, relaxing in the amazing pool and hot tub, dinner at onsite Coconuts and shopping in downtown Cabareta. Celeste was wonderful! She communicated with us daily and gave us so many helpful suggestions. We had a family 6 staying at the house we were very well taken care of. Let me recommend using the onsite chef to prepare dinner at least one night of your stay. You will be glad that you did. We will definitely be staying here again!

Absolutely the best!!!

Villa Celeste is everything you could have dreamed of. The house is big and clean. The pool is amazing, way bigger than the picture. The beach is a perfect spot for a quick dip or hours of kite surfing. Walk 3 min down the beach to great surfing and cafes. Everyone was helpful and friendly. We fished, golfed, surfed and had plenty of homemade pina coladas. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend. Celeste answered every question quickly and made things super easy. Staff was great and the chef Dorian was amazing.

Amazing family vacation

Celeste was amazing at communicating with me before we arrived at the property and throughout our stay. She helped arrange food, chefs, and transport. The housekeepers were amazing cook sand our lunches with them were delicious. They kept the house very clean and even did our laundry without us having to ask. The chefs we had were incredible and I would definitely recommend having them cook for you at least once. Franklin was such a friendly, nice and helpful driver. He was quick to respond when we needed a ride and kept us laughing on our drives. The beach was quiet and we had it to ourselves a lot of the time. It was fun to watch the kite surfers in the afternoon/evenings. A little walk down the beach are a few little restaurants, surfing lessons, and horseback riding. Coconuts (the restaurant on property) was delicious and had food for my whole family, including my very picky child. 10/10 would recommend booking this property.

So Special; unlike any other accommodations!

Villa Celeste is the perfect place to have an unforgettable time with family/friends. The Villa is beautiful and the location superb. There are several excursion options and restaurants nearby, however the best times were gathering outside around the pool, walking the beach, having Jose cook us a special dinner and ending the day in the hot tub. The girls also made a great Dominican lunch and breakfast every morning. Franklyn was such a blessing! He helped us with all transportation and excursion decisions and has become a friend of our family. This was definitely a relaxing vacation. We chose a few activities: zipline & monkeys, a day to Blue Lagoon with boat ride & snorkeling and horseback riding on the beach (they bring the horses to the villa). We ate out (transport) twice, ate at Coconuts (3min walk on beach) twice, cooked ourselves once and had 2 dinners with Jose. Jose's dinner were excellent! I would recommend his dinners over eating out! Also, I recommend having groceries & drinks arranged prior to arrival. Horseback riding was something I wish I had done at sunset every evening! I really hope to return again! Celeste was so helpful: from the time of booking, to prior arrival arrangements, questions we had during our stay and extending departure blessings. You will not be disappointed. BTW, I never leave reviews!

Everything was amazing at Villa de Celeste! This villa is a must! Literally a dream vacation, whether your hanging around the house in the pool or beachside or your out and about exploring it was all amazing! Dorka, Franklin and Arsenio were all fantastic and made the trip even more amazing than what it was. As soon as you pull into Hideaway Beach the villas are gorgeous! Villa de Celeste will definitely be a repeat on our vacation spots!!! Franklin is the driver and has an amazing sense of humor and is VERY helpful in your experience to getting around and showing you the tour spots and pointing out spots he feels you should see and know about. Arsenio is the chef and is an AMAZING chef! Everything was delicious and I’m not talking about a small meal. You will not leave the table hungry. The restaurants Franklin suggested were all really good. We didn’t have 1 meal that wasn’t great. Dorka is the house keeper that cleans, makes breakfast and lunch! She is so sweet and soft spoken & also a great cook! All of the staff at Villa de Celeste were extremely humble and appreciative of everything!!!!

From the moment that we booked, Celeste was incredibly communicative and helpful. The property is just as described - beatiful, inviting and comfortable. Our kids loved swimming the pool and everyone enjoyed gathering in the outside seating area for conversation, cocktails and delicious dinners prepared by Chef Arsenio. The beach is perfect for walks (rough for swimming, but our group never wanted to leave the pool anyway). The neighborhoood bar and restaurant was a short, 5-minute walk from the property and had wonderful food - we enjoyed eating multiple meals there. And don't miss the surfer community just beyond - the cutest little shacks serving coffee, smoothies and yummy bites. The whole experience felt authentic and comfortable. Celeste is amazing and has a staff to match. This place is not to be missed. We will be back!

Incredible Stay and Experience !!

Where do I start. We were a group of two families, 4 adults and 4 children(ages 6+9). To say our vacation was wonderful would be a severe under statement. We had such an incredible stay and experience. The House is Beautiful and has everything you could possibly need and more. The property is in a very private gated community in hideaway beach with Full security who were all so very friendly. Celeste was Amazing and quick to respond to any questions and had lots of suggestions on where to go and what to do. The girls/staff we Loved So Much…they cooked our breakfast and lunches as well as cleaned and did laundry daily. We hired the private Chef, Arsenio, who also did our arrival shopping for us, highly recommend. He made us the most Amazing meals and helped make my Husbands Birthday Extra Special! We also enjoyed takeout and dining out at Coconuts just a few doors down within the property right on the beach. Celeste helped us coordinate horseback riding who met us with the horses right in front of the property on the beach. And Encuentro Beach is a short walk down the beach with surf lessons and breakfast/lunch shacks that make delicious meals. I could go on forever. Waking up to the beach every day and having all this house has to offer and more made this A perfect Vacation! 10/10! We can’t wait to come back!!!

Spectacular home, spectacular host

For starters, Celeste is not your typical VRBO host. Celeste was always available to answer any questions, arrange transportation, gave restaurant suggestions, etc. It was so awesome to have her available as first time visitors to the area. We unexpectedly had to extend our stay and she was so accommodating and helpful! Our family will never forget you Celeste. As for the house....It rocks. Located in a gated community, directly on a beautiful beach and staffed with wonderful people. The house staff were so lovely and helpful-you will be spoiled. Daily prepared breakfasts and lunches, cleaning and laundry-we were very spoiled! Security was always around-always felt safe and they were so friendly. House built for large groups with awesome pool and outdoor space with amazing beach views. Take a short walk down the beach to Coconuts for a drink and dinner! The interior of the home has 5 ensuite bedrooms, great kitchen, multiple living spaces and decorated with lovely artwork. We loved our stay at Villa Celeste! Now go spoil yourself!

Great stay with family

My family loved our stay at Celeste’s house. The cleaning staff were great, and when we brought groceries, they cooked delicious breakfast and lunches. We definitely recommend taking advantage of having them pre-shop for groceries before you get there to help the first day of settling in. Celeste was responsive to our questions as we settled in and got our bearings. Drivers were available and very friendly. Beach was beautiful. It was clearly a bit dangerous in terms of potential Riptides/undertoe , but we(kids) played in the shallower areas a touch away from the flat water just in front of the house, and also took the short 10-15 drive to nearby beaches that were a bit calmer. Pretty cool expat style surfing schools nearby, too. Loved our time at this house!

Wonderful Vacation

I want to start by saying this vacation was a once in a lifetime. My experience was beyond 5 stars. As you have read in the other reviews Celeste was a remarkable VRBO host. She was responsive from the time we booked the house up until we where home from vacation. Her and her staff are top notch. Franklyn is a prize. We all fell in love with him. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and kept our safety in mind. Dorka and her co-worker were amazing. They cooked us breakfast daily and lunch a couple days. Yummy food! They also cleaned daily and kept the house spotless. We had Celeste pre-order food which was very nice. We also chose to have Celeste's chef come and make dinner 1 night. Boy this was special. The food was amazing....really unbelievable. And we had enough for a second nights meal as well. As for Villa Celeste, this was an amazing house. The grounds, pool, hot tub and patios were perfect. The only negative I would say about the whole experience was the sleeping arrangement. Which we could of probably changed ourselves. The 3 rooms open to the front of the house as well as patio doors to the back yard. It was stressful to have all of our kids in those rooms. We worried about their safety at night. HOWEVER....there was security around the clock on the property and she has cameras on the outside of the house. We had 2 families, 4 adults, 2 teenagers, and 3 kids. It was a perfect house for all of us! HIGHLY recommend!

Gorgeous property and location!

This home was fabulous and perfect for our group of 10! We enjoyed it so much we rarely left the property. IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN YOUR GROUP, be advised that 3 of the 5 rooms have separate entrances from the house. Since our kids are adults this worked perfectly, but would have been an issue if they were under 18, in my opinion. Celeste was more than helpful with any questions we had and the staff was also WONDERFUL!
