A nice private villa away from it all
We stayed for two full weeks, and enjoyed the true down time. This is ‘ living ‘ in a private estate environment, not some all inclusive… when we stayed, we were amazed there are not irritating insects, nor noise of any kind from adjacent properties…can’t see anything but jungle’ on each side of the walls of the property.. The kitchen is basic, but works. On site, Lucy &Angel were incredibly accommodating, and off site, Ava was always ‘there ‘ to help arrange, check in to see if all, ok, etc. There was always plenty of ‘safe’ drinking water via 5gal water dispenser. We had a car, going to playa grande, and other local go-to places. We always felt safe going out exploring on foot, and in the car. WiFi worked perfect, could easily stream what ever.

SeaDog Stay
Our stay at Seadogs was everything we expected and more. Myself, my husband and our three kids aging from 13-17 loved our trip from NJ to Cabrera. Pros- The view is amazing of the ocean. All the palm trees surrounding the property are mesmerizing. We spend 90 percent of our time in the yard. We only used the house to sleep and shower. The Casita off the main villa is awesome. The view and beautiful breeze that comes through with windows open is amazing. Lucy and Anderson are exceptional people. They are so kind and accommodating. Every morning they would have the coffee brewed and breakfast cooking. It was such a treat. Lucy would ask if we would like dinner that night and we did have her cook for us all but 3 nights. We went out to some exceptional restaurants in town. I suggest Playa Grande for beach. It was the best beach we went to by far. We also visiting Dudú lagoon which was awesome. And we did the quads through the town with KingQuad. Anderson joined us to drive one of our kids. Con’s—The kitchen and master room upstairs had a ton of tiny tiny ants. We didn’t have many warm showers, power went out like 4 times during our stay. No board games, puzzles or yard games. Dog poop was picked up by me from property dog after sitting for 2 days. Biggest con is stairs are broken to get down to the private beach. Lots of garage down there. It would be nice to be able to access that as it was advertised to be a private beach. Although view was spectacular!

Our family had a wonderful time
We did a fair amount of research prior to committing to the Seadog. My wife and I had been to the DR several times, mostly staying at upscale resorts in Punta Cana. This was the first visit for our two teenaged children and my mother-in-law. We were looking for something more immersed in the local experience, and we found it. Our group of five had a great time. We spent plenty of time connecting and spending time together at the property. It is designed for plenty of group interaction at the bar, pool and patio. But it is spacious enough to give everyone plenty of leeway to spend their own time reading or relaxing alone as well. The five bedrooms are split into four bedrooms in the main house and a separate mini-house with the final room, which is where my wife and I stayed. It is right at the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean. This is an undersold feature of the property and one of our favorite amenities. Lucy and Anderson are as good as advertised. They are friendly, knowledgeable about the local area, and great hosts. We ate breakfast at the villa everyday and had dinner there all but four nights, when we ate at local restaurants with excellent suggestions and guidance from the two of them. Prior to going, we had seen reviews describing the Seadog as rustic. That is a good description. Lucy and Anderson keep everything clean and in working order, but it is not a five-star resort, nor is it trying to be. We enjoyed the authentic local living experience, and we regularly headed into Cabrera to the Super Mercado, restaurants, town waterfront, just to take a walk, etc., interacting with the locals in the process. That is exactly what we were looking to do. We did opt for the rental car and used it often. We went to Playa Grande / Playa Preciosa multiple times. It is about a 15 minute drive. It is a very nice beach area with a great sandy bottom and in-water experience. We went more more distant excursions to snorkel and to go canyoning (at Magic Mushroom, which you should consider if adventurous). Those attractions are out toward Sosua and an hour or more by car. By design, we were looking to be off the beaten path and many of the biggest tourist attractions are further way. There are great beaches, Laguna Dudu (worth a trip), some limited snorkeling right at the Seadog beach and other close-by activities, to be sure. But be prepared to drive to others. Overall, we loved our experience and would definitely do it again.

Julia does an outstanding job managing this property! The food was superb, Lucy is an amazing cook.. we did eat out one night, but actually regretted it due Lucy’s fantastic cooking.. Anderson was also great, from make fish/lobster runs, to the way he takes such great care of the property.. We did have a few hot water shower issues, but overall the Seadog was very enjoyable place to stay.. I was skeptical due to all the great reviews, but I found them all to be very truthful.. Julia does a great job with this place!!

Just Fantastic!
What can I say? The Sea Dog Inn is great. I arrived stressed to the max but a couple days by the pool listening to the waves crash in the cove below had me totally relaxed in a couple days. Julia is the best and makes sure your stay is everything you want. She put together a list of all the available activities with pricing so we could review and decide what we wanted to do ... She then helped to arrange it. We also got to experience a true DR pig roast up at the farm. Anderson and Lucy are just the best! Need a bag of ice?..off on the scooter Anderson goes to the store. Lucy prepared some amazing meals. We were a group of adults and the property is big enough to allow privacy but also has several common areas to mingle. Definitely going to return as soon as I can.

Fantastic house with full view of the ocean from almost every window. Beautiful and restful!
The property is well managed by Julia who is very friendly and a fantastic host. She made us feel welcomed and well-taken care of. She was available almost 24/7 to make recommendations and to help with wifi and other issues with the house like balancing hot and cold water properly and the use of the oven and grill. Lucy and Anderson are always in the house to make meals, clean, take care of the property, and anything else we needed almost anytime. We highly recommend for a large family or like us a family of 4 with each of our children bringing a friend. Cabrera is a hard-working but friendly town with great beaches and near some great activities like zip lining, monkey feeding, and snorkeling or scuba diving. You can use USD's everywhere but not credit cards. However, the ATM's dispenced Dominican pesos from your checking account with your bank's ATM card. The only recommendations we have is for the owner to add more blinds or curtains to some windows to keep out the sun early in the morning. Everything else was perfect! If we did not have so many places to visit we would definitely be back. Muchas gracias por todo!!!

No stress vacation- as long as you ensure you follow the rules!
So I have 3 issues with this place- first issue- all the rules! So as soon as you get there (well not first thing as soon as you get there- the first thing as soon as you get there is they met us at the door with many daiquiris)- but they then set you down and go over all these rules- so the rules are: #1 no work- #2 you have to relax- and #3 you can't worry- really?? People these days still have those rules? Like those are not the type rules that we are use to- but Julia can be pretty persuasive- so we didn't want to rock the boat- and she made us follow those rules the whole time we were there! So second issue is that we only booked for 4 nights- now I know that is crazy- if you go to the Sea Dog, you will wish that you (MUST) stay at least 7 nights- you will be disappointed if you do not stay for prolong time frames- I'm not sure what we were thinking- 4 nights? So issue three is that VBRO will only allow 5 stars? That is not enough stars for Sea Dog? If 5 is the best then this place is a 7 or more! Seriously Julia and her staff are the best! The home is beautiful, large and roomy with fantastic views of the water- and very clean. And Julia knows all the cool places to visit (and there are many beautiful beaches within minutes of the Sea Dog)- they will help coordinate every meal if wanted- they can handle transportation from and back to the airport and even the rental car (but of course they will want to drive you around so as not to violate those 3 sacred rules of hers). So while we are fortunate and we can travel anywhere over the globe- this is the very first place my wife has said- "we are coming back here again soon!" - ok so if you know my wife, well I guess that is another new rule. Julia we will see you guys again very soon- thank you so much for allowing us to stay and for making us "follow the rules!"

Unforgettable Family getaway
Had excellent customer service from Julia, Lucy and Andy. They made the entire family feel at home. Nothing beats the view. Great beaches nearby. The house is a little old and had some power issues but the ACs worked great at night. Unbeatable value. Counts down to go back next year!

Extremely well maintained, breathtaking views, fun backyard and rooms, GREAT staff
When we decided on the DR for my 40th birthday destination we were looking for something removed from the more touristy areas. We wanted to experience the true culture and have some space to spread out on our long trip. We couldn't have picked a better town or property. Not only was the house more spacious than we thought, it had lots of fun surprises and was extremely well maintained to be a true beach front property. Lucy and Anderson's genuinely happy willingness to go out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed provided us with a very stress free existence at the Sea Dog. Not to mention Lucy has a true talent when it comes to cooking, don't miss out on it. Those things themselves would have made for a great stay. What made it absolutely perfect was the house manager Julia. Honest, fun, crazy Julia. She was our EVERYTHING. In retrospect I'm not sure how we would have navigated through without her. I think her goal in life is to make sure her guests don't get taken advantage of by vendors on the beach or in any of the towns. She made sure we were treated fairly everywhere we went and also that we understood the etiquette and culture to avoid any mishaps. Julia also kept a very thorough book of our charges for groceries etc and backed it up with saving the receipt for everything and making sure we always knew where we stood. She gave us tons of options for things to do but wasn't pushy towards an itinerary. She was just there to help. I have rented a lot of vacation houses around the world and never encountered someone as wonderful and accommodating as Julia. We just got home and are missing her so badly we might just book a flight and go right back. Thank you Julia, Lucy and Anderson for helping us have the time of our lives. We will be back.

Stunning Property, Exceptional Staff!!!
Book your next vacation at the Seadog. The pictures don’t do it justice and you won’t be disappointed. The only problem I had was that I wasn’t there long enough. Not only is the place right on the ocean, the property is gorgeous, the pool is clean and well maintained and the house has everything you need. Totally exceeded all expectations. That being said, the real win was the wonderful people I had the pleasure of meeting. Anderson and Lucy are fantastic. They keep the place clean and gorgeous, they are extremely helpful and always made sure I had everything needed. I can’t thank them enough. :) Julia, the property manager, might be one of the most lovely people I’ve ever met. She is super warm, welcoming and an absolute gem. She would always check in with me to see if I needed groceries, and most importantly, ice cold Presidente. She made vacation my exactly what I was looking for and is the reason I will be going back sooner than I should. If you’re serious about getting a place in the Dominican and want a gorgeous place to relax in the sun, look no further. This is where you want to be.

5 Star Views, 3.5 Star Accomodations
We had 9 adults (all family) and absolutely loved our experience. However, you must remember DR is not up to US standards. That said, the house views are breath taking and our House Manager was great but, there are some things you need to know. The a/c went out every night as we were told it was connected to the government controlled system. The house smells a bit musty and some of the furniture was sagging or broken. The rental cars are substandard - one we rented actually used propane and some odd way to start it - we eventually had to switch and pay more for a gas vehicle. They were also full of ants. If you can look beyond that, you are in for a treat. The DR landscape is like none other - absolutely incredible. Once we got used to the way of life, we enjoyed ourselves and all the DR had to offer.
