Avis Great location, right downtown Puerto plata .

This condo is as pictured and in a convenient location across from the lovely infinity pool and bbq area. Nice view of the golf course. Short drive to ABay and walking distance to Kings shops. Communication could have been better with owner before arrival who seemed unaware of contents of the unit such as whether or not it had a blender, cotton sheets, etc. housekeepers showed up before checkout time because owner failed to communicate with them.

The property was rented to celebrate the holidays and New Year with family in Tampa, and was occupied by 4 adults and two dogs. The location was great, close to family and downtown Tampa, but the property did not live up to the description of luxurious. Some of the inside has been remodeled with new furnishings, but some other areas are in need of repair or replacement (broken blinds, vent fell out of the ceiling). The kitchen was lacking in basics for preparing and cooking meals for a family of 4 (no potholders or mixing bowls). There was no duvet in the duvet cover, and there were not enough washcloths for each person. The backyard and laundry are shared with the owner, which was not clear in the description. A good communication process needs to be set to ensure privacy of both owner and traveler(s). This is especially important if travelers are bringing pets, since the owners dog shares the backyard too. The owner was easy to reach when we had questions.
