Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Playa Encuentro

What a gem! I traveled to the DR with my toddler and dog and we felt right at home in Michelle’s place. We were able to completely immerse ourselves in Dominican culture. We walked the neighborhood daily and made friends with locals. We were able to visit the local shops and have evening meals on the balcony. Communication with Birkan was easy and he was attentive to our concerns. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

The location was perfect. All the popular spots were no more than a five minute walk.

Great place great value will stay again

Samuela was a great host, thank you for this beautiful vacation.

came here on a solo surf trip, it was perfect. I wanted a low key place that wasn't a resort. This is a one bedroom apartment in a quiet safe location tucked away with a great outdoor space. The kitchen has all the basics to cook your own meals. The AC works well, it's in the bedroom only, but the house was cool when I came back from the beach every day (with the AC off), there's also a clean pool to cool off in. There's a fan in the kitchen as well if you need a breeze while cooking! The shower has hot water and decent pressure. Easy 5-10 min walk to the food park, a bakery/breakfast, and 2 convenience stores, and an ATM. Most importantly it's a 5-10 min walk to the beach. Absolutely highly recommend for a solo traveler/couple. I felt safe here and walked to the beach alone and to/from the shop at night. Eve was soooo helpful and very responsive! Her place looks exactly like the photos. Thank you so much Eve!!!

Great place and host. The area is really secure and quiet .

Hidden gem, a well maintained AirBnB, less than 15 minutes from Cabarete. I highly recommend!

Great accommodations & safe area

Very helpful and accommodating

Listing is exactly as described, it’s perfectly located in front of the pool and has the perfect view to the beach. The beach is at at a walking distance and has anything you need close by. The place has 5 bedrooms, so it’s perfect for family and friends who want to spend a very nice weekend together at the beach. Lina is always responsive to any requests we made. My family had a great time

The house was amazing. who was beautiful with the lights on kitchen was very clean rooms were great That's what comfortable and communication was perfect

The place is in a good location, at night the road is a bit dark and it's not close enough to restaurants to walk to them. Despite that, it is a very quiet place that allows you to sleep without interruptions. The host is really friendly.

He was a very attentive person in everything, I would 🙏🏽definitely come back

Thank you for an awesome hospitality. excellent location and friendly staff.

If you’re looking to visit Puerto Plata and want to have enjoyable stay, packed with activities. You’re in the right place! Definitely good value for your money. The photos don’t do justice to the house! Totally enjoyed our stay and Franchesca’s help was a huge part of it! Her recommendations are superb! We definitely would be coming back and staying at Franchesca’s.

Wonderful place absolutely nothing negative to say. If I have the opportunity to stay I will definitely stay there and recommend others to do. Thank you allowing me to stay at your wonderful place.

The apt was beautiful. Everyone was extremely helpful and nice. I will definently stay there again!

A great apartment with a great pool. It was as described and I was enjoying my stay until AirB&B extracted me without an explanation. The host asked me to stay more than once after AirB&B told me to leave without an explanation!

I had a wonderful 2 weeks in this green paradise! The bungalow is very clean and spacious with good illumination . This time of the year you can watch sunrise right from the bed. There are 2 bungalows there which are separated by green fence of plants and a swimming pool, so you have privacy . And it's very peaceful and quiet there all day long . It's just a gem ! Babette was very helpful with every little detail and she went far and beyond by picking me up and dropping me off at the bus station . Very recommended !

Martin is a great host, he invited me out for a drink when I arrived, and on arrival he provided a few nice welcoming drinks and toiletries. The pros of the apartment were the cleanliness, the air conditioning, the swimming pool, the apartment complex is similar to a hotel so there are places on site to get food and drinks. It's also a nice place to meet people as there is a fun atmosphere around the place. Martin the host is also great at responding to your messages and always tries to help out with your questions. The cons are the wifi, the wifi is better in the bedroom but not strong enough in the rest of the apartment if you're going to work. If you're there on holiday then its no problem. The wifi around the complex works great though, by the pool, in the reception etc. And Martin did his best to offer alternative places for me to work. And also having to pay for cleaning the bed sheets was a con or not having them replaced. Overall, I would recommend staying there for sure!

Lovely place and very attentive host

Best place to stay to be close to many good areas. Hot water, ac, nice and clean. Has a gate safe and families around

Oliver’s place is in a very safe environment, clean, modern and comfortable. All appliances, hot water, WiFi, TV and air conditioning works well. It is located in an environment that has a nice clean pool area to relax and a restaurant onsite. Oliver’s place is within walking distance of everything you need and his communication is good if you need any information. I highly recommend Oliver’s place.

The residential complex is very nice and quiet and the employees are attentive. In general, everything was very nice.
