This Place is Great
I loved it. Very private - beach - house was comfortable and had everything you need. If you are looking to decompress and relax - away from the touristy places - this place is it. Just beautiful and so easy - walking on the beach and swimming could not be better and usually all by yourself. I did find I needed a car as it is remote and there is not much close by but you can use the busses (I did for 2 weeks) which are very good if you prefer. Local restaurants are fantastic - so good - not expensive - everything fresh. Again - I loved it and would highly recommend for people looking to avoid the crowds.

An Adventure
Our stay at Casa Costello was truly an adventure! It is a beautiful, remote property with a beach that goes for miles in both directions. The privacy was amazing! Unfortunately, we had several days of pretty hard rain which caused flooding, loss of electricity, and contaminated the well. Aneuri was extremely attentive to our needs. He assisted us with all of these issues, and helped to make us comfortable and safe. He also did shopping for us and was available to help us navigate the roads when we did venture off the property. His whole family was warm and welcoming and this truly added to the overall charm.

Cottage by the sea
First, this is not a resort experience - it is a cottage/rural experience where you enjoy peace and quiet, friendly local people. Listen to the sound of waves crashing all night and the soothing sound of a rain shower on the roof in the afternoon. Fresh fish just pulled out of the ocean for dinner on the BBQ. Miles of pristine beach to walk..... If you cannot speak any Spanish and do not want to engage with locals then this might not be the place for you. But if you want a true Dominican living experience then this is it. Not fancy, not pretentious not a resort. It's much, much better.

My wife Kim and I had a wonderful time! Aneuri and Papa we're friendly and helpful. Language was a bit of a hurdle, but a little technology, some help from Jim, and some dogged determination; and we communicated quite well. I do think I'll learn a little more espanol for pur next visit! Highly recommend. Very relaxing private beachfront awash in local charm!

I wont return
I'll keep this short. In the washroom the toilet is damaged, dosnt flush all the time and dirty. The sinks taps are corroded. The towel rack is broken - no towels anyway. No soap. No shower curtain and right outside the shower is an electrical outlet. I went to this place to be alone. I never was. Staff were present a lot of the time just watching TV. I ended up cooking for three a lot of the time. There are over 20 windows in the main room. They were last cleaned when JFK was President.

Beautiful and Secluded Beachfront Property with Honestly the Best Owners I Have Ever Worked With
First off, let me hand it to Jim and Angie for going out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for this trip. The owners got in contact with us almost immediately after sending the booking request. They helped familiarize us with the area and even look at different airport destinations to make our trip more enjoyable. The property itself is everything we had hoped for. Aneuri and Papa , the caretakers of the property, were available for anything we might need. They cut open coconuts harvested from the trees on the property. They spent the time to cut open fresh Almonds that grow on the property as well. Aneuri even cooked us an excellent Arroz con Pollo dinner that was to die for. This place and the people are genuine and will stay in your hearts for years to come. If you are looking for a genuine Dominican Republic experience at a fantastic price for the amenities then this is it. The location is remote, but not far from Cabarete (a tourist town) or Gasper Hernandez so you can easily go out for groceries or to local restaurants. The locals are super friendly and very helpful. It helps if you speak Spanish, but isn't required. (With technology these days anything is possible.) We spent a week at the place and could have easily spent more time. It was a very relaxing and soul filling experience. The beach is amazing. Most of the time, we were about the only people on it. This is truly a piece of paradise. When given the chance, we definitely will return.

Authentic Dominican Republic Experience
We stayed at this property in June 2018. We had a great experience at Casa Costello as we relaxed and enjoyed nature. The village of Las Canas was a secluded area, but did have the amenities we needed. This property is located right on the beach and has a backyard that will melt your troubles away. The casa is very unique and has a native charm we were looking for. The property owners were very good to work with and available as needed. Jim even called me prior to the trip to make sure all was in order and gave us pointers on what to do and what to expect. We had a local guide available to help get us oriented, arrange transportation, and show us the sites when desired. We went snorkeling with Randy Rode in Rio San Juan, swimming in the cave pools at Cabarete, and also enjoyed a dance club and attended a church service (all in Spanish). Your guide will cook authentic dishes for you if you choose. The local bus service was easy (and interesting) to use and only cost $1. The people here were extremely friendly and treated us like family from the minute we arrived. Things to be aware of. If you are looking for a luxury resort - this property is not for you. Swimming at this beach can be tough as the waves pound pretty hard. We went to couple of other beaches during our stay that were incredible. The water here is probably not what you're used to, but drinking water is provided. Speaking at least a minimal level of Spanish will be helpful. My wife got us by, but I would have had a hard time. Overall this was a great trip and I recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a one of kind experience.

A Sweet Rustic Escape
My friend and i led a yoga retreat to the DR in March. It was a big group and we had rented a house for them in Las Canas. We decided we wanted to have our own space, a place for us to retreat to when necessary. We ended up booking Casa Costello just 2 doors down. Before we even got there, the owners, Jim and Angie were beyond helpful. They set up our airport transfers, connected us to people of the village that could help us with food and helped set up our excursions. I had several conversations on the phone with Jim prior to our arrival and he was always very reassuring that all will go smoothly (and it did!). The beachfront house has a rustic kind of charm. This is not your luxury modern house so if that is what you are looking for, keep on searching. I slept in the upstairs bedroom (which has quite an interested staircase to climb up to to it- steep and windy! But there is also an outside staircase which is easier to climb). The bathroom is an interesting design with the toilet up a few steps. Not the easiest to use but points for creativity! There is a lot of space and an upstairs balcony that opens up to the the ocean. Falling asleep to the waves cannot be beat. It is a little hot in the room at night with the mosquito net down and no AC. You can always leave the doors open for air but i didn't want to risk letting bugs in. My friend stayed downstairs, a more standard bedroom and bathroom--- comfortable and clean. Everything seemed to function in the kitchen although we didn't use it too much. I am not sure if there was one hidden away, but a tea kettle would have been nice to have. The backyard which led to the beach was a nice addition--- we didn't use it much as we were out and about most of the time but nice to have anyways. The beach was lovely but the tide was too high and waves were too strong to swim in. I am sure that changes throughout the year. Las Canas is a bit remote from the bigger towns such as Cabarete-- about a 30 minute drive. The Costello's connected us to Aneuri, a local in town, who was able to get us taxi's whenever we needed, so it worked out well. There is not much in Las Canas so you will need to get taxis to get places- other beaches, excursions, restaurants, etc... If you are looking for a quiet, bare bones, rustic, sweet little getaway, this is your place.

Many wonderful experiences at Casa Costello
First, Jim and Angie's responsiveness to our questions before our trip, and their helpfulness getting us information in advance, including a shopping list of our requests to have in the fridge in advance, was WONDERFUL. After caretaker Aneuri and his brother, an excellent driver, meet us at the airport, they made sure to show us where everything we needed was in th house before saying goodnight. Delighted by the sound of the surf even before we could see the delightful views of the ocean from the second floor bedroom, the balcony, the main door way downstairs and everywhere in the yard, the beach in front of the house and the water temperature were just great- caution with currents needed some days. We walked for miles on the beach in each direction. The air temperature was more refreshing than many Carribbean locations, and we were enchanted by 7 different rainbows in our 8 days. There were quick showers- glad we brought rain jacket!- we loved how quickly the sky and sea changed colors as the breeze blew clouds away and the sun came out. We particularly appreciated unlimited cold bottled spring water provided by the owners: we never had to buy water in bulk. Everything in the kitchen- coffee maker, fridge, toaster, microwave and stove worked well. The plantings in the shady yard were lovely and well tended. We enjoyed coconut water and fresh almonds from the yard, as well as the pineapples and grapes Anueri got for us. My husband loved lying in the hammock staring up at the sky through the palm fronds. We really enjoyed visiting the caves in Caberete with Aneuri, swimming in the underground crystal clear pool and having excellent tour guides share their knowledge of plants and birds and the history of the caves with us. Watching the kite-surfing on Caberete beach with Aneuri was great fun, and we appreciated both Aneuri's care getting us to our dinner at Otra Cosa- highly recommended- and the beautiful sunset walking on that beach. Going to Playa Calleton with Aneuri was an absolute highlight-it is the most beautiful beach ever- and we loved our lunch with Aneuri at a table complete with white cloth, pina colodas and great shrimp at the water's edge. Saving the very best for last, Aneuri 's cooking was astounding- our 2 fish dinners and our chicken night at the house were so far beyond our hopes. He is a great cook and a lovely person. We feel lucky to have become friends and lucky to have been there!

On the beach! Beautiful yard! Comfortable beds!
Keep in mind this is not for people who want luxury and everything taken care of for them. This is a place for people who want to experience where they are! It has some peccadilloes, this is the Dominican Republic and the tropics 😁 but we (4 adults... two who are 92!) enjoyed our 3 and a half week stay immensely!! We felt safe and comfortable the entire visit. For the somewhat adventurous traveler, this home is perfect!!

Very dissapointing, unpleasantly "authentic", stinky - run away after 4 nights whilst paying for 7!!
Arriving at night the hut looked scary but mainly due to lack of good light on lower floor, lots of killed insects on windows and stale smell. Upper floor was lot better and more optimistic. Daylight showed the hut is not in a good shape and needs serious care and serious cleaning (beer bottles, other garbage on site, broken door frame, broken utilities like shower, cabinet doors and handles, smelly brownish tap water, all kind of other wet and mildew smells, …). Half of the rental would be so so and title of "Low budget" more appropriate as long as “Authentic” should not mean authentically destroyed by teeth of time and lack of care. Second night Aneuri (local care taker) helped us to move second mattress on upper floor so that all of us could enjoy fresh air (which was not available in lower bedroom). However, heavy rain at night made our bed completely wet! The roof was broken just above us for quite a long time as we could recognize from old water sediments on the floor in the morning. Third evening we wanted to enjoy the breeze on upper terrace combined with some internet browsing. Wifi was working only from time to time and all kinds of unpleasant smells coming from sides of the hut including excrement smells were pretty disturbing. Luckily it was not raining that night so we had normal sleep in dry bed... Fourth night we woke up at midnight with smell of overheated electric wires coming from the corner of upper bedroom where the whole family slept. Seemed like thermostat of water heater was going to burn soon. That was the last drop, such hut can burn in a minute … Next morning we packed our things and send email to the owners about what we went through. No single response arrived from them for almost 2 weeks up till now. No apology, no return of unused nights, only confirmation of refundable deposit return arrived. Yes, we may appreciate newly painted terrace, wooden furniture on upper floor, newly made curtains, view from the terrace and help of local guy Aneuri but we could not avoid to notice also the pretty disturbing rest. Btw, the cottage was supposed to be for 6 (we were 5) – but it was impossible to sleep on the foldable sofa bed, therefore our 3 kids slept in the main double bed. Concerning the bed linens – only blanket and pillows were prepared, something to cover up we found in plastic boxes down stairs. Luckily one box out of three was safely locked, the rest of bed cloths was wet and stinky. WE CAN NOT RECOMMEND!

If you are looking for a quaint, rustic piece of Paradise, this is the place!
We loved our quiet time here in this lovely rustic, ocean front, bit of paradise!! The back yard with hammocks and cabana were the perfect place to watch the amazing sunrise and sunsets. We had a most amazing meal of fresh fish and tostones cooked for us by the caretaker who was very attentive to our every need. If you like all-inclusive resorts with all the modern convenience this is not the place for you, but if you love rustic charm and want to have ocean front all to yourself, with gracious hospitality showered on you by the caretakers...book it now!

Urlaub im Paradies
Mein Mann und ich verbrachten wundervolle 10 Tage im Casa Costello. Das Haus befindet sich in dem kleinen Dörfchen Las Canas, weit weg von allen Pauschaltouristen und Hotelanlagen. Als wir spät abends mit unserem Leihwagen ankamen, wurden wir von Aneuri, dem Hausverwalter und seinen Eltern so herzlich empfangen, dass es sich anfühlte, als würde man alte Freunde treffen. Der Kühlschrank war gefüllt und alles perfekt für unseren Aufenthalt vorbereitet. Das Haus ist wirklich unbeschreiblich schön. Im unteren Bereich befindet sich neben einem Schlafzimmer und einem Badezimmer ein großer Wohnbereich und eine Küche, die voll ausgestattet ist. Wirklich unfassbar ist jedoch die obere Etage, mit einem Schlafbereich, einem Bad mit riesiger Dusche und einer sensationellen Dachterrasse, von der aus man einen großartigen Ausblick auf den Atlantik hat. Jeden Morgen, wenn man die Terrassentür öffnet, kann man die Sonne über dem Atlantik aufgehen sehen und sich von der leichten Meeresbrise wachküssen lassen. Besonders schön ist, dass man wirklich ungestört und alleine ist. Der Strand läd zu langen Strandspaziergängen ein, bei denen man Treibgut sammeln und die Seele baumeln lassen kann. Die hier gezeigten Fotos, können kaum die Realität abbilden, denn es bietet sich einem jeden Tag ein neuer atemberaubender Blick über den naturbelassenen Strand und den Atlantik. Das Haus ist perfekt für Individualisten, die die Natur lieben und in einem Robinsonambiente pures Karibikflair erleben möchten. Vielen Dank an an Jim und Angie, mit denen wir während unseres Aufenthaltes über Whatsapp Kontakt hielten und die als wunderbare Gastgeber alle unsere Wünsche erfüllten. Danke auch an Aneuri und seine Familie, die jederzeit für uns da waren, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Wir fühlten uns den gesamten Aufenthalt willkommen und sicher und haben jede Sekunde sehr genossen. Wir kommen ganz bestimmt wieder...

Wonderful beachfront home
You can't get closer to the beach than this lovely home! You can feel the ocean breezes and hear the waves crash all day and night long. The views are amazing and the beach felt like our own private beach, we rarely saw anyone else out there as we swam in the waves and collected sea glass. It was truly perfect. The home is in a small town of Las Canas, which is not touristy by any definition. If you are looking for an authentic experience, this is it! The house consists of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a living area that could be used for more sleeping space if needed. There is seating for dining both at the kitchen island and at outdoor tables on both the lower and upper terraces. Sometimes we stayed at the house all day. Other days we took the quick drive to Cabarete for dinner and to watch the kite surfers and for a snorkel and sailing expedition on another day. The kitchen was ell equipped with everything we needed including pans, coffee maker, blender, etc. as well as a water dispenser with plenty of clean and cold water. The wifi and satellite tv are also excellent. Jim and Angie truly thought of everything to make our stay great. They even thought of and provided the little things, in case you forget or run out, like sunscreen, mosquito repellent and coffee, oil, spices, etc. I must admit that it was almost a little intimidating coming to Las Canas because my Spanish is not that great. But I found that I need not have worried. Jim and Angie have taken care of everything. They will have their concierge Anueri meet you and show you the house, you can then get on wifi and call using WhatsApp and Jim can translate, if needed. After that initial call we found we were able to communicate well enough. Speaking of Anueri, he was fantastic! Anueri helped us with anything we needed. He can run to the store, answer questions and cook dinner (which I totally recommend, we had fish one night and chicken another) for just a nominal charge for his extra time and gas. Also Delio comes over daily to straighten up the outdoors, etc. He was so kind and brought us coconut and other nuts, always with a huge smile. The only thing that I did not like would have to be the mosquitos. They didn't really bother my husband or daughter much, but I always seem to draw out the mosquitos before anyone else and that was the case here. But that was really just a minor annoyance.. We loved our stay at Casa Costello and highly recommend it.

Unique Dominican Republic Vacation Experience ..
Nature lovers traditional beach house located right on the ocean, a true experience of the way of life in rural DR but yet close enough to the North Coast tourist experience of Cabarete and Sosua. Located in Las Canas about 25 minutes east of Cabarete the palm trees are the tallest, the beach is almost deserted and life moves very slowly. Listen to the sound of the ocean waves, beachcomb for Amber and see the crystal clear night sky, and buy fresh fish from local fishermen. Like other properties in Las Canas it is a great base to explore the real Dominican Republic lifestyle, we did a relatively long stay with a few mini vacations to other areas of DR such as Samana. Some of the best experiences are just getting up early, watching the life go by and having empanadas and coffee at a roadside mini-store with the locals. The beach house is spaceous, has two patio decks, a gas BBQ, comfortable upstairs bed, and a nice ocean front gazebo. Lots of TV channels, reasonably good Internet, and a basic video security monitoring system. Obviously this is not a new property so expect a somewhat rustic unique experience and a close proximity to nature both outside and sometime inside.. this is appropriate for the more advanced independant traveller who feels comfortable discovering the DR totally opposite to the 5 star super clubs. Not really suitable for the first time or less experienced traveller. Be prepared to discover public transport guagaua mini busses and shared local taxis to get around or rent a car. The beach house has its own cat. No local restaurants or grocery stores, be prepared to shop in Cabarete or Sosua. Basic conversational Spanish language skills are required.
