The staffed "Casa Obear" villa has marvelous ocean and mountain views and offers all the comforts, a secluded pool and botanical landscape within a gated community providing the convenience of restaurants, over a mile of expansive sand beach and a challenging 9 hole executive golf course.  Nearby Puerto Plata, the focal point for a memorable vacation, is a bustling, historic seaport city with turn-of-the-century Victorian architecture, modern supermarkets and has its own economy and as such is very different from a typical tourist destination.

The scenic DR North Coast shares the same latitude with Hawaii and many of the attributes. Puerto Plata's modern airport with daily direct flights and charters is a 25 minute drive from Casa Obear, and the championship Robert Trent Jones golf course at the Playa Dorada hotel / casino complex is just 15 minutes. The new Playa Grande course with 10 holes bordering the ocean cliffs and often referred to as the "Caribbean Pebble Beach" offers a great family day trip activity combining golf and beach with a stop at Cabarete to watch the wind surfers. Snorkeling and diving at famous Sosua beach is just 30 minutes away. You will enjoy this remarkably beautiful country!
