The Villa Sunset: Your Ideal Vacation Home

Jul 24, 2024 | Dominican Republic Villas, News

More and more snowbirds are vacationing in the Dominican Republic, and it’s easy to see why – between the beautiful, soft sandy beaches, enriching culture, and tropical climate, many travellers find they want to return again and again. If you want to make the DR your annual vacation spot, return to this beautiful island with a Casa Linda Villa! 

At Casa Linda, we offer foreigners comfortable and luxurious villas and condos in a closed community on the northern end of Cabarete. Looking for a vacation house for a single person or a couple? Our Villa Sunset floor plan is the perfect choice for you!

Keep reading below to learn more about the Villa Sunset, from its affordable price to its modern design!

Affordable Floor Plans

Purchasing real estate in the Dominican Republic is very affordable, and our floor plans at Casa Linda are no exception! 

The Villa Sunset standard floor plan starts at only USD 229,000, nearly half the average cost of buying a house in the United States, and includes gorgeous tropical views, modern finishes, and your own private swimming pool!

The Extended Villa Sunset plan offers the same layout and style as the Standard but with a larger overall space, priced at USD 279,000.

With both floor plans under 300,000, this model isn’t a bad deal for a permanent vacation stay!

Stylish & Modern Design

One of the best parts of buying a Casa Linda villa is that they are built after purchase. You won’t be buying a home with out-of-date appliances or wear and tear – you’ll walk into a new, modern house with all the bells and whistles!

Our Villa Sunset, while smaller than our higher-priced models, doesn’t skimp on comfort, luxury, or style! As a two-bedroom house, this model is perfect for singles or couples – the layout is sizeable without being too spacious!

The Villa has tall glass doors and windows for plenty of natural light and mixes the indoor and outdoor living areas to give it that resort feel. Further, the open-concept design of the living area and kitchen makes this home the perfect place for entertaining friends and guests. 

Our floor plan also includes modern finishes, high-quality appliances, and in-house laundry – no trips to the laundromat for you!

Fully Customizable

At Casa Linda, we want to ensure you get the perfect home suited to your taste and preferences. If you have custom changes you’d like to make to your Villa Sunset, we’re ready and willing to accommodate!

Some popular customization options for the Villa Sunset include a jacuzzi, living plant wall, larger windows, an extended outdoor kitchen, and various other additions our architects are happy to include! 

During the approval process, you can work with us to ensure each element you’ve requested has been added to suit your preferences (note that customizations will increase the base cost of your floor plan) and get one step closer to your dream vacation home!

Access to Resort-Level Amenities

Our villas and condos are all located on lots within a gated community, granting you access to several amenities that help make your time spent in the DR more enjoyable! 

When you purchase The Villa Sunset, Villa Management will oversee your home. This includes monitoring the property, performing maintenance (plumbing, electrical, pool, etc.), and even providing housekeeping services. 

If you take advantage of these services, you can truly immerse yourself in the vacation mentality – focus on your relaxation while we handle the chores!     

Escape to Paradise with a Casa Linda Villa!

The Benefits of Renting Out Your Dominican Republic Villa

The Benefits of Renting Out Your Dominican Republic Villa

Jul 24, 2024 | Dominican Republic Villas, News

Are you unable to live in your beautiful Dominican Republic villa year-round? Instead of letting it sit unused, consider renting it out to other travellers and temporary expats! If you’re away from the DR for weeks or months at a time, you can give vacationers a once-in-lifetime opportunity to spend their trip in one of Casa Linda’s luxury villas.

Making your villa available for rent is a great way to get the most out of your foreign property when you’re not there to enjoy it yourself. Below, we’ll consider a few benefits of renting out your Dominican Republic villa, so keep reading to learn more!

Additional Income 

Everyone can use a bit of extra cash, right? Owning foreign property in a popular travel destination like the DR provides an excellent opportunity to earn additional income! 

Making your villa available to travellers and temporary ex-pats can help you cover the costs of owning and maintaining your foreign property, such as utilities, water, and property management fees. 

Not only will owning a villa in the DR be much more affordable this way, but you’ll also get to save some of your primary income for other expenses! 

Keeps Property Maintained

If you’re away from your villa on a long-term basis, you won’t be able to keep a regular check on how your home looks, catch potential issues (e.g., faulty appliances, flooding, etc.), or look after the grounds.

At Casa Linda, however, we offer our homeowners the option to list their villa on an approved Rental Host platform, providing you with the necessary housekeeping staff to keep your property in good shape. 

From pool maintenance to gardening, your home will be kept in tip-top condition for you and your guests, allowing you to enjoy your time away from the DR with fewer worries!

Opportunity to Support the Community

Tourism is one of the most profitable industries in the Dominican Republic – the more people who come to stay, the bigger the boost to the local economy!

By making your Casa Linda villa available to fellow ex-pats and tourists, you’ll get the opportunity to support the island while also sharing what you love about the Dominican Republic with others. Even if you’re not able to be in the Dominican all-year-round, by making your villa a must-stay location for travellers, you can still be involved in the community in a meaningful and impactful way!

Give Travelers a Once-in-a-Lifetime Stay with Casa Linda 

Renting out your vacation home has never been easier than with Casa Linda! Your villa will be listed on all the main platforms, including AirBnB, VRBO, and other popular travel sites, and our approved rental hosts will handle all the marketing. 

Your guests will receive top-tier personalized services, from airport pickup to food delivery. You won’t need to worry about how your property is managed – you’ll be kept 100% in the know about any issues, expenses, and income you earn.

Visit the Contact Us page to learn more about renting your villa. You’ll be one step closer to offering travellers a once-in-a-lifetime experience in paradise!

Custom Villas and Stable Investments: Unveiling the Allure of Cabarete Real Estate

Custom Villas and Stable Investments: Unveiling the Allure of Cabarete Real Estate

May 22, 2024 | Dominican Republic Villas, News

As you prepare for your upcoming retirement, have you started considering where you would like to retire? For many North American retirees, nothing is more ideal than spending the summers at home and wintering abroad on a sunny tropical island like the Dominican Republic.

Casa Linda is a luxury, securely gated community located near the central city of Cabarete on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. For over 30 years, we have been developing a large community of retirees, expats and digital nomads worldwide. If you have been considering investing in a retirement home, look no further than real estate in Cabarete, Dominican Republic.

Keep reading to learn why Casa Linda is the ideal investment for soon-to-be retirees.

Cabarete Real Estate is a Stable Investment

You may be surprised to learn that purchasing Dominican Republic real estate is one of the most stable and secure investments you could make. Casa Linda is located on the north coast and has been home to a large population of expats, retirees and families for over four decades!

Real estate in the Dominican Republic is well known for being a stable and secure investment, with good capital appreciation each year. Like North America, the land title system operates with wholly owned titles and properties to a resident of the Dominican. The residency process is simple because, unlike other countries, the Dominican Republic government genuinely wants you to move here!

Excellent Medical System

While the DR is technically still a developing country, most of the island’s inhabitants are upper-middle class. We have an exceptional medical system that is efficient, accessible and up-to-date with the latest medical advancements. Many North American comforts you’re used to can be found in the Dominican Republic, like efficient health care.

Custom Built Luxury Villas

Buyers are spoiled for choice when purchasing real estate from Casa Linda. We proudly offer fifteen different villa models that can be customized to your tastes. Our villa models are available at a wide range of prices, starting from our most affordable model, the Villa Sunset, at $229,000.00 USD. Our most extravagant villa model, the Villa Atlantis, is available starting at $599,000 USD. These are only the base prices; customizations are an extra fee.

From start to finish, the overall buying and building process can take anywhere from 8 to 12 months, depending on the renovations and design changes being made. The villa models’ base prices include the villa itself, the lot of land, an outdoor swimming pool and landscaping services. Our in-house design team is happy to work with you throughout the design and construction process to source local furniture and furnishings.

Ready to Enjoy Retirement in Paradise?

Whether looking for a vacation home or a full-time living, you can’t go wrong with Casa Linda. If you want to move into a community that feels like home, Casa Linda is where you want to land for your golden retirement years.

Better Than an All-Inclusive: Renting Your Dominican Republic Villa at Casa Linda

Better Than an All-Inclusive: Renting Your Dominican Republic Villa at Casa Linda

Apr 26, 2024 | Casa Linda, Dominican Republic Villas, News

Buying a villa at Casa Linda in the Dominican Republic isn’t the only perk of owning a beautiful vacation home; you’re expanding your investment portfolio, too! If you’re searching for a part-time vacation home but full-time investment property, keep reading to learn about investing in property with Casa Linda.

Stable & Growing Economy

Investing overseas can certainly be risky, especially in a country you are unfamiliar with, but how much do you know about the Dominican Republic? It might surprise you that the Dominican Republic is one of Latin America’s fastest-growing countries.

Since the 1960s, our small island country has steadily grown out of poverty and into a prosperous and stable nation. The average standard of living in the Dominican Republic is one-third that of the United States, and it will only keep improving.

This is the time to invest in a vacation home outside your home country. Who doesn’t want to escape the winter months and soak up the sun in a luxury tropical villa? When you are not using the villa, there’s no sense in letting it sit empty waiting for your return! Why not make extra income on the side by signing up for Casa Linda’s Vacation Club?

Vacation Club

If you do not plan on living at Casa Linda full-time, why not sign your villa up for our successful Vacation Club program? Casa Linda handles everything in the vacation club, from advertising the villa to booking the guests and caring for them during their stay.

Some of our vacation club programs even have guaranteed rental income. What’s better than making passive income that you don’t need to worry about? There are a few perks to joining the vacation club, like trading your weeks for hundreds of similar properties worldwide, as well as daily housekeeping and pool and garden maintenance.

(When you purchase a Casa Linda villa and permanently join our community, your vacation club investment will be used to reduce your purchase price by the same amount within 18 months.)

Renting Your Villa

Casa Linda has connections with several excellent local rental management companies if the vacation club does not appeal to you. This is an excellent route for owners looking to keep their villas booked and busy in their absence and maintain a steady stream of rental income.

Casa Linda has simplified the rental process to be hands-off and stress-free for the owners. Our owners should be able to return home without worrying about the state of their villa, so we take care of everything on your behalf.

However, there are requirements to qualify your villa as a turnkey property. Namely, having a fully furnished and stocked villa, including linens, dishware, kitchenware, electronics, etc. The villa should have everything a renter needs to fully enjoy their stay, minus your personal effects, of course. If you need, Casa Linda has a comprehensive list of the required turnkey items.

Share Your Slice of Paradise

Located on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, Casa Linda’s luxury gated community is the top vacation spot for families and travellers alike. Our community has all the amenities, services and fun of an all-inclusive resort while staying in a private villa with a full kitchen, private pool, and more.
