Garden by the Sea

We arrived late after checkin and the property manager was very kind and so easy work with. Would stay again just for the ease of use. Thank you.

I stayed here for 4 nights with my friends and our stay was relaxing and wonderful. The rooms were extremely clean and tastefully decorated with a welcoming feel. Nikki and her staff were so warm and friendly during our stay and made us feel at home. Nikki also seems to have great recommendations on local restaurants and activities, so do inquire! Breakfast was absolutely delicious, and my favorite part was the fresh chinola (passion fruit) juice that accompanied it! Definitely recommend staying here for a lovely relaxing vacation. I hope to be back soon!

I stayed here at the recommendation of my good friend, Jason who lives in this area. This is an AMAZING place! So clean, peaceful, comfortable, and affordable! The host, Nikki, is very kind and I really loved all her pets who are so sweet and add to the ambiance and relaxed qualities of this place.

I stayed at Garden by the Sea in June 2024.  I stayed here in large part because of the reviews I read on this site.  This place did not disappoint.  Being from America, I was excited to receive some American hospitality from Nikki who was mentioned in many of the reviews.  She was great!  I felt more like I was a guest in her guest room than I felt like I was at a hotel.  The place is small, maybe 8 rooms I think I saw.  The room wasn't large, but perfect for a couple and very clean.  The shower was bigger and better than most I've had staying in the DR.  The place was super quiet, which for me is a good thing.  I believe only one other family (taking up maybe 2 or 3 rooms) were there during my 3 night stay.   I've never stayed at a bed and breakfast, so maybe it's normal, but the family style breakfast was different.  There is a beach within walking distance, but very secluded.  Not a place I would feel comfortable at closer to dark.  You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but action is just a short drive away.  I would definitely stay here again.

This past week was my 5th visit to Garden By The Sea and I love it. Nikki and her staff are so friendly and accommodating. The rooms are spacious and the grounds impeccably cared for. The food is great. I love that here is an outdoor kitchen where one could prepared food. I love it so much that I am thinking of bringing my entire family here to rent the entire place and have a memorable family time.

We were delayed on a flight to Miami and had to find a place in the area so we chose Garden By The Sea. It was an intersting taxi drive as the taxi driver (even with a smart phone) could not find the place and we ended up going through Sousa on a Saturday night (an experience in itself). Finallly we made it to Garden by The Sea and Nikki met us and set the taxi driver straight (who wanted to charge us for his wasted time finding the place). What a relief to settle in to the immaculate and inviting room after our long rebooking at the airport. The wonderful shower had plenty of pressure and hot water and the bed was perfect. We had a fine nights sleep and a fine breakfast ($10 US) before heading back to the airport. I would definitely stay here again.
