Kids

These are the greatest kids. I love taking pictures of kids.

.

They are all special and have their own things going on and it is expressed in the photos! . Hasta Pronto!

Rock house's Brother

This first picture is the artists conception of the home being built in Cabrera I am involved in.

.

Go down a bit and you will see a picture of the home developed from this. Very close to the conceptual picture.

. The next picture is of a home being build next to Rock House in Cabrera. It is up on and beside a cliff. I am guessing it will also be a very unusual home and will update the pictures as it grows. I am expecting something different for sure. .

I am guessing it is being built by the same guy also.

.

Hasta Pronto!

Congrats John and Wendy!

I want to wish my friends John and Wendy all the best!

.

They had the good taste to get married on my birthday in Aruba last week.

.

Congrats guys!

I know, I haven't blogged in a while....

This is the big house I am involved with in Cabrera. It is 95% complete and it is turning into quite the home.

.

At 470 m2 and over 5000 sq ft it is a large home with 4 bedrooms, HUGE office, 5 Bathrooms, Kitchen, Maids work area, planta room and a GREAT Room.

.

It has an pool that ends in a waterfall right in front of the cliff. The pool also starts under roof so if it starts raining you just swim under roof. If there is lightning I recommend leaving the pool:) . The next picture is from a point on the cliff which is perfect for a Gazebo looking back at the house.

.

On the right side is the master bedroom suite which is lovely and outstanding views. On the left you can see the guest bedroom wing with 3 large bedrooms right in a row with insuite baths. .

The next picture is looking out to the gazebo which is on the cliff. Magnificant view is all I can say!

.

I liked this area so much after going here every week for a couple of years now I purchased a like property on a cliff overlooking the ocean.

.

This town Cabrera is known for high end villa tourism with homes costing as much as 16 million dollars to build in this town.

.

If you would like information about this home or another home in the same community let me know. Outstanding area and nice homes make for a great place to live.

Hasta Pronto!

Condo for sale

This is my friend Herberts Condo. He bought this place and renovated it and is now selling it. I have the keys to the place so I am the "GO TO" guy for the realtors that have the listing. .

The first picture is of the Bedroom which has a 18k BTU A/C. Leave the bedroom door open and it will cool the whole condo!

.

He is selling the condo for 89,000 US Dollars which is at least 20% less than his neighbors paid a year ago for condos that aren't as nice.

.

All the furniture is NEW as well as the tile and everything else.

.

This is a view of the living room from the Breakfast Bar.

.

Next picture is of the bathroom which is HUGE. The counters are Granite and the most expensive Granite available here. All the tile and cabinets are new also along with the toilet and sink.

.

If you want to view the property just stop into the restaurant and we will make a time which will probably be around 2pm most days when I finish at the restaurant. . New pic is of the new kitchen and front door. EVERYTHING is new and this also has a new Granite Counter top along with the Breakfast Bar. Of course all appliances are new. .

Next picture is of the view from the living room and from the balcony. This ocean view won't be blocked in your lifetime! You can also see one of the two pools you will have at your disposal.

.

The Real Estate Market is doing great here and we are still WAY under any other island in the caribbean for real estate. The Dominican Republic overtook Puerto Rico as the most visited Island in the Caribbean last year. If you haven't been here come for a visit and find out why that is!

Hasta Pronto!

Sisters

Now this gal should be a model for a dentist. What a wonderful smile on that puss! Even the Mustashe doesn't take a thing away from this smile. .

This is one of the things I love about living here. These women are beautiful and always have a smile on their faces. .

They are also hams and love to be photographed!

.

If they have a new outfit they ask for the camera to come out.

.

Even in the last picture you can see how pretty she is!

.

I love this country!

.

Hasta Pronto!

Two sisters

After having a great dinner of Chivo (Goat) at a new restaurant I found on a side road in Cabarete I returned home with the two sisters.

They both had their hair braided last week and they both look absolutely fabulous!

They also both taste great. Less Calories also!:)

I found this small tipico restaurant on a side street across from the new Condo/Shopping complex.

It is always nice to find a new place to eat. There were 5 of us and we had beers, juices and sodas and the bill came to 1050 Pesos which is under 35 US dollars which of course I was happy to pay.

Left this restaurant feeling very satisfied with a full belly. I will try and get the name next time there but there isn't a name outside the restaurant and don't think it will be a big help.

When you make a right heading into Cabarete to the caves it is on the left about a block or so past a bar that advertises Jazz. There is actually a sidewalk across the street and I pull most of the car on the sidewalk when I park there. Good service, food and prices for a tipico.

My last favorite Dominican restaurant started charging me 16% on my bill and they don't even have the required invoicing so I know they aren't paying it. Too bad, they lost me as a customer because they also raised their prices. There food was also good. Only reason I will go again is if this place is closed!

Hasta Pronto!
