Apartments for rent in Juan Dolio

What Juan Dolio is like

Juan Dolio is a stretch of coast in the municipality of Guayacanes (San Pedro de Macorís province), east of Boca Chica. The beach is lined with condo towers and residential complexes, with a boulevard of restaurants and shops behind them; next door is Guayacanes beach, smaller and more local.

It is quiet during the week and fills up at weekends, when Santo Domingo second-home owners arrive. Inland, villa communities surround the Guavaberry and Los Marlins golf courses.

Who it suits

Santo Domingo families wanting a weekend beach apartment, retirees and foreigners living here year-round, and people working in Santo Domingo or San Pedro de Macorís who would rather live by the sea.

Getting around

Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) is about 30 minutes away along the Las Américas highway, and central Santo Domingo roughly an hour, depending on traffic. San Pedro de Macorís is a few minutes east, and the Coral highway continues to La Romana and Punta Cana.

What to check

In oceanfront towers, look at the condition of the façade, railings and lifts: salt air wears them down fast. Ask whether the generator covers the whole unit, about the water cistern and the maintenance fee, and whether nightly rentals are allowed. For land, confirm water and power connections and that the title has been surveyed (deslinde).
