A private villa rental is the opposite of a hotel. The whole house is yours — no shared lobby, no neighbors down the hall, no other guests. Casa Kimball is a home you settle into, with the privacy and quiet that lets you actually arrive. You bring your people; the house holds the rest.
We're on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, near Playa Grande. Most guests fly in through Puerto Plata (POP) or the newer Samaná airport (AZS) — both are the easy choices. Las Américas (SDQ) near Santo Domingo and Santiago (STI) work too if your routing prefers them. Direct flights run daily from Miami and New York. From the U.S., Jet Blue, American, Delta, and United land here regularly; from Canada, West Jet, Air Canada, and seasonal charters like Air Transat. Private jets are welcome. Round-trip airport transfers are included for one group on the same itinerary, with cold drinks for the ride. Different flights, different airports? Tell us the details — we'll work it out.
No. Our team speaks English, and everything you'll need — house guides, check-in details, the people you'll meet day to day — comes to you in English. If you'd like to pick up a few words of Spanish along the way, we're happy to share.
Yes. Casa Kimball sits inside a private gated community on a quiet stretch of coast. There's round-the-clock security at the compound gate and at the house itself, plus on-site staff with you every day. Most guests find it noticeably calmer than where they came from — that's part of why we're here.
Up to twenty, not counting little ones under four. Eight bedrooms — five Kings, two Queens, one with two Queens — sleep eighteen, and we keep three deluxe air mattresses for the rest and two pack-and-plays with bedding for the littlest. If your group is bigger than the house can hold, we have preferred rates with neighboring villas in the community and can arrange the rest.
Yes — bring them. The house is built for kids of every age. Pool floats, volleyball, a putting course, frisbee, badminton, ping-pong, board games, a smart TV with satellite, and karaoke when the night calls for it. For the youngest guests we keep two car seats, two pack-and-plays with bedding, and two high chairs ready. With toddlers or busier little ones, ask us about child minders so the grown-ups can settle in too.
Yes — fast, free, fiber Wi-Fi throughout the house at 100 Mbps. Bring devices that are already set up and signed in; the team here can point you to the network, but tech support isn't their specialty. And if you're hoping to step away from screens for a few days, the house is a good place for it.
Yes — and we love hosting them. Weddings, milestones, family reunions, a quiet anniversary dinner under the stars: tell us what you're imagining and our team will plan around it. If your guest list outgrows the house, we'll help arrange rooms in the community nearby.
To hold your dates, we ask for half of the rental within 7 days of our confirming your stay. The balance — along with the meal plan and any special-event packages — is due 30 days before you arrive. If we confirm inside that 30-day window, the full payment is due within 5 days of confirmation. Payment is by wire transfer.
Once your stay is confirmed, what you've paid is committed to it. With 30 days' notice, we'll credit 90% of it toward another stay within a year, and your security deposit always comes back in full. If a border closure or something else outside anyone's control keeps you away, we refund 100% when you cancel 30 or more days before arrival, 95% at 20 to 29 days, and 90% inside 20 days. And if the house can't host you for any reason on our end, you're refunded in full. For peace of mind, we recommend trip cancellation insurance.
Just the personal extras: spa treatments, excursions, alcohol, anything you add along the way. No hidden fees, no surprise taxes — what you book is what you pay.
