About this property

El Palomar is nestled in beautiful tropical gardens only a very short 2 minute walk to beautiful beaches, a 10 minute walk from great beach restaurants and a 15-20 minutes walk from town. Originally it was built as a guest house for our larger house La Paloma but we have chosen it as our favorite retreat while in Las Terrenas. It is charming, colorful and simply furnished. It was designed using typical Caribbean materials, cana roof and colorful painted wood siding and partitioning walls, a quaint retreat for the young at heart. Our houses are private from one another but are connected by lush garden paths. Before you arrive we are happy to stock your refrigerator with breakfast items if you wish.

A very nice place in Las Terrenas

We had a great stay here. The hosts are wonderful. The place is very much like the description - traditional Dominican style house near the beach. It is simply but very comfortable. We were there in December and the temperature was delightful - no need for AC. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked most of our meals. The location is outstanding - 1 block to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the start of town (20 mins to the supermarket). The Wifi was pretty much nonexistent - it would let you log on but it was really hard to get any webpages to load.

Little piece of paradise

We stayed here for a week and could have stayed forever as we loved it so much! Leslie and Bill are fantastic to work with- so helpful and accommodating. We booked the smaller property and they offered us the larger house (was not rented out the week we were there) as they thought it would be more comfortable for our 14mo old son. So kind of them! The accommodations were great. Plenty of gorgeous outdoor space for during the day and a nice sitting area inside for when the bugs came out. They did an initial grocery run for us and that was super helpful! The property is a short walk to the beach and a bit further to town. We had a car and would drive to just outside of the town center as I didn't feel super comfortable walking on the road at dusk/night with our baby. A car was also super helpful for going to the grocery store as well as for day trips. There is a cat on the property named Cow and I wanted to take him home with me he was so sweet! The only thing missing on the property in my opinion is a pool, but we obviously knew there wasn't one when we booked! With our son taking 2 naps a day at the property it would have been the icing on the cake. We highly recommend this property and most definitely would stay here again. I believe my parents are going to rent this property with some friends next year because we recommend it & the area so highly! Side note- my son and I got eaten alive by sand flies, they didn't touch my husband and hardly bothered my FIL. Just prepare ahead & bring bug spray.

Perfection in Paradise.

Our time in Paradise was made complete by staying at this most beautiful, warm, natural and friendly house in Las Terrenas. We will certainly stay again and look forward to returning to the colorful garden and bird filled compound. The open air outside dining room, was so charming with it’s palapa roof and hanging ceiling fans. We cooked dinner out on the grill almost nightly and drank our coffee in the coz lounge chairs in the shade. The house was very private and beautiful and a one minute walk to the picturesque sandy beaches. The location was perfect in that we were far enough away from the town buzz for it to be serene and quiet and yet close enough to walk in for ice cream or dinner at any one of the many delicious eateries. We didn’t rent a car and found we didn’t need one. We did however rent a scooter to get to Restaurant Luis for the incredible coconut beach, big waves and best sea food in town. This was a repeat adventure (which was recommended by Leslie herself). Leslie was the most generous and attentive host we could ever imagine. She treated us like we were family, making sure we felt comfortable and cared for in every way we needed. She even bought us treats on our drive from the bus stop to the house. She made us feel welcome to call her at any hour of the day or night with any question or concern we might have. The other house on the property was magnificent and I could imagine an incredible family reunion with the use of both houses and the gardens. Honestly, this place is the dreamiest place I could imagine staying. Simple, understated, cozy, comfortable, airy, organic, luxurious, serene and fun.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Honey

We first started traveling to Las Terrenas in 1982 when it was an authentic fishing village. After more trips we purchased our first property and then the land next door where we had El Palomar built from our own design by a trusted Dominican builder. Over the years we have enjoyed painting and decorating it so that it has the charm of a country Dominican house.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because of its wonderful location, only 2 minutes from the beach and a lovely 10 minute stroll along the beach to good restaurants, A twenty minute walk will take you to the center of town.

What makes this property unique

Our property is not for everyone. You might be older but It is for the 'young at heart' and those who want to experience a casual colorful ambiance. The cottage has a cana roof, some walls are brightly painted wood (split palm) and some are stucco, the floors are pigmented cement. The veranda is large and open, surrounded by tropical gardens which are great for bird watching and sunbathing.
