Neighbourhood
Las Ballenas is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Las Terrenas as it is a quiet residential neighborhood with many expats living in the area. You might hear music if you are staying during Dominican holidays.
Nearest airport
El Catey International Airport is located half an hour away from our home. Las Americas International Airport in Santo Domingo is an hour and a half away from the villa via the Tourist Atlantic Boulevard (BTA) highway.
Getting around
We are within walking distance of the village, but being that is the Caribbean, and hot, we recommend some form of transportation. A rental car is ideal as it allows one to visit other beaches and attractions. There are also places to rent scooters and four-wheelers as well as taxis and "motoconchos" (Basically, private motorcycles that transport people for a fee.)

We had an amazing 8 days at Bibi’s house in Las Terrenas. Our family of 5 had plenty of space and comfort. The kitchen is well equipped and opens to the outside porch. Everything works and is clean. Beds are comfortable and the fans and a/c all work and make it for a comfortable sleep (although we barely used the a/c). The pool was fun for the kids and we only made it to the beach a couple of times. The location is great. It is a short walk to the beach and restaurants and about 2 miles to the main shopping area in Las Terrenas. Las Terrenas is a fun bustling city with a great mix of expats and locals.
Bibi and her house keeper were very responsive and prompt with any questions.
We have a great relationship with Nora as we both navigate having home exchanges and rentals on the same island. This was our second visit to their home and we feel very comfortable there. It is quiet and offers solace while also being quick walking distance to the beach and town. We are so grateful to Nora for hosting us not once, but twice, and we highly recommend her as an exchange partner.
Bibi and Jose were wonderful guests! Excellent communicators from the first message sent. We came home to a spotless house (and, very sweetly, some thank you treats!). Would highly recommend exchanging with them- and we hope to visit their beautiful spot in the DR someday!
Annelies and her family were wonderful guests. Annelies communicated well all through her their stay, and they took wonderful care of the house. We would gladly have them again at our home. .
We had a wonderful stay at Jessica’s home. Communication was fluid, and the house is beautiful and comfortable. Jessica was very kind leaving a wonderful welcome package with detailed instructions which made it very easy to navigate the home. The location provided easy access to downtown and other sites we wanted to visit. Wonderful family and lovely stay. We highly recommend Jessica’s home. Thank you Jessica for having us.
Katie and her family are repeated and wonderful guests. Katie communicated well and took great care of our home. Highly recommended and experienced exchanger.
