Unique Caribbean Villa | 3-Bed + Office + 2 Bungalows Near the Beach (Full Tour)

Looking for a retirement home, family villa, or income-producing property in the Dominican Republic?
Today I’m taking you on a full, slow, immersive walkthrough of a 3-bedroom villa + office + two independent 1-bedroom bungalows, located just a 3-minute walk to the beach in the beautiful gated community of Perla Marina.

This is one of the most charming properties on the North Coast — peaceful, private, surrounded by mature tropical gardens, and full of character you don’t find in modern “box” construction.

🎤 I also sit down with Audrey, my colleague who has lived in Perla Marina for 26 years, to talk about:
• What it’s really like living here
• Community safety
• Amenities
• Rental potential
• Why this villa stands out
• What retirees love about this neighborhood

Whether you’re looking to relocate, retire, or invest, this walkthrough will give you a true feel of what life in Perla Marina offers.
