Part of the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic is a nation in the eastern part of the island of Hispaniola. This tropical paradise is famous for its beaches and diverse landscapes. The tallest mountain in the Caribbean, Duarte Peak, is one of the many stunning terrains that can be found in the country. Tourists also enjoy taking a stroll along its national parks. These include Cotubanamá National Park, Los Haitises National Park, and the limestone panorama of Montecristi National Park. These features are more than enough reason to visit the Caribbean nation. However, the Dominican Republic is best recognized for its majestic beaches. Over 200 white sand beaches run around this bountiful nation. Many tourists plan their visit around these world-renowned beaches and book accommodation near them. If that’s what you’re looking for, check out our list of the best beach house rentals in the Dominican Republic.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to beach.
