The Casa Azul Difference

If you are seeing other PCRC homes on VRBO, AirBNB, etc., almost all of them are actually brokered by one of the Punta Cana Resort & Club rental agencies. Therefore, when you rent one of these brokered homes, you should realize that a full 30% of your entire rental payment will go directly to the broker and rental platform, not to the villa owner from whom you are renting. Casa Azul is different. We are doing the marketing and management ourselves, and have strategically priced our home around 20% below comparable villas under brokerage. The goal is to provide our guests with a more cost-effective luxury villa rental experience, encourage repeat guests, etc. We are also planning a future launch of a virtual, no-commission “rental agency”, PuntaCanaByOwner.com, to provide this service to other PCRC villa owners.

9/22/2024 Really beautiful house. My wife and the guests loved it! The staff were terrific. Andrea and Rosi had the house and bedrooms pristine every day. The chef-prepared meals were amazing. In fact, we canceled some of our dining out plans because the dinners were not only better than at a top restaurant, they were a lot less expensive too. And the outside dining at the house was gorgeous on the terrace overlooking the pool, lake and the sunsets. I’ve never seen such a huge, beautiful, built-in stone table like they have out on the terrace. A spectacular dining experience. The house has a perfect, central location in the resort. Close to the beaches, golf, and tennis center. And 5 minutes to the airport! What an amazing place—a five-star experience all around.
