Why do I get a discount?
Basically it is simple. Your are renting directly form the owner of Villa #84. If you rent through the management system they charge as much 25% commission. You receive the benefit of renting directly through us.
How is my rate determined?
It is based on four criteria. Time of year, number in your party and how far in advance you book (sorta like an airline ticket), and length of stay (longer stay, lower price).
Are the rates per person or for the entire villa?
Our rates are for the entire villa, but there can be no large parties, weddings or large gatherings allowed in the villas without written permission. Villas may not be occupied by more guests than specified in the rental contract. Rates are based on occupancy and additional fees may apply
What is the required length of stay?
Normally a 7 night stay is required for the best prices. Minimum rental period will be three (3) days. During the Christmas and New Years Holiday period, most villas require a minimum of 14 nights.
Does a weekly rental always start on the same day each week?
In the Caribbean, you can arrive on any day of the week, as long as the Villa is available.
When is In Season and Off Season?
In the Caribbean, 'In Season' (also known as Winter and High Season) begins in mid-December and lasts until mid-April. The lower rates of 'Off Season' (Summer or Low Season) take effect until mid-December.
What do we need to bring?
Not much. We have complete laundry facilities and your staff will do all the dirty work. Electricity is 110 and the phone system is by Verizon. Many cell phones can roam in the Dominican Republic (ATT and Verizon best).
- We suggest renting a car to explore the fabulous sites and beaches
that surround you, but many people never leave SeaHorse Ranch. It is
a complete resort destination and all food can be catered if desired
(SeaHorse Ranch has a private gourmet restaurant just for you). Taxi's
are easily arranged and if you can hire a taxi and driver for the day
at reasonable prices.
- Free internet (wireless dsl) is included. Bring your laptop.
If we do not book all the bedrooms in a villa will someone else (i.e. strangers) be using those bedrooms and sharing the house?
Absolutely not. You are renting the entire villa and you never have to share a villa with anyone other than those in your party.
Is a villa a good idea for a honeymoon?
It's an exceptional idea and a great value. SeaHorse Ranch Villas are private and spacious. Ask for our special " just for couples." (My brother owns Villa #2 -- only for couples, ocean front and an amazing place for a honeymoon).
Where is this villa located and how do I get there?
The Villa is inside a private community (SeaHorse Ranch) on the North coast of the Dominican Republic. SeaHorse Ranch is approximately 10 minutes from the international airport of Puerto Plata (airline code is "pop"). Easy immigration and rental car booths are to your right as you exit. Both American Airlines and Continental have daily flights from Miami or New York.
Another alternative is the international airport of Santiago (airline
code
"sti") that is one and a half hours away. I mention this because
there is
daily multiple flights on Continental, American, Delta and now Jet Blue
and
sometimes the fairs are much lower and better connections. This more than
makes up for the one way fare of $75.00 for a cab. I suggest a cab, unless
you know the drive and then of course you can rent a car. I like to land
in
Santiago and leave from Puerta Plata (called open-jaws ticket, no extra
charge).
