About this apartment rental
We can include a personal tour guide and concierge who can show you the area beaches of Fronton, Madama, Rincon, La Playita, Cayo Levantado, the El Limon waterfalls and other area attractions. He can also make sure you find the supermarkets, banks and restaurants. Since he has worked at the Cove for nearly 20 years, he knows the area well. All my apartments are at the Cove, a small group of beach front, ocean view apartments, just 200 feet from the ocean.
This modern apartment serves as your home base from which you can explore the peninsula. Arrange deep sea diving and sport fishing excursions with The Dive Academy. You can snorkel at some of the most beautiful beaches, including Playa Rincon, Playa Las Galeras, El Valle, and Playa Fronton. Seasoned scuba divers can explore shipwrecks from throughout the centuries.
Come see the humpback whales breach out of the water, from January to March, each year, when they come to mate and have their offspring!!!
In between you and the ocean is the pool, with a swim up bar. Grill local fish on the charcoal barbeque, or stay inside and cook in the full kitchen. It features a view of Samana bay, and a private beach, only a few steps away.
Since I own two other apartments, I can accommodate groups of up to 12 people.

The Cove/La Ensenada is a small gated oasis of spacious, well-appointed, air-conditioned apartments nestled in a small cove on the north side of Samana Bay. Each has its own balcony or porch where we enjoyed morning coffee and evening wine and cocktails. The beds are comfortable; the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The second full bathroom and washer/dryer are a real plus. The beautiful grounds, including a lovely in-ground pool and a private sandy beach, are well maintained. On our visit, we saw whales from the beach and there were a multitude of butterflies fluttering about. A small convenience store is a walkable distance away and busy Las Galeras with lots of restaurants, ATMs, and shops is about a 15 min drive north. The Cove is perfectly located for day trips. It is 30 min from Samaná, 45 min from gorgeous Playa Rincon, and an hour from the El Limon waterfall. Except for the occasional large pothole, we found the roads to be in good shape. Most locals ride motorbikes, some with headlights, some without, so take caution especially at night when driving.Our friendly host Patrick was on site with his family. He was very responsive to messages and gave us some great tips on where to eat and shop locally. He helped make our trip to the Dominican Republic one of the most enjoyable and memorable

Pictures represent the property accurately, host and maintenance are very responsive. Great property, once you get the lay of the land easy to get around. Locals are friendly, the area struggles with economic development. Important to take a couple excursions, whale watching, fishing if the ocean cooperates, ATV’s. Local fisherman come in everyday and will sell fresh catch of the day, ask for fresh lobster if it’s in season. Weather was great, high humidity. Power outages will happen but not often, host was responsive to water issues. Nieghbours are friendly and offer many pointers. Would go again.

Our stay at The Cove was a good one. We felt safe and the accommodations we're what we needed. The pool was amazing and the kids loves it. Coco the on-site go to guy was great to talk to and he helped us out with anything we needed. Actually he went above and beyond. Would stay here again when visiting this area.
