Surf Encuentro in the morning, work from home by nine

Encuentro works year-round: gentle inside sections for learners, serious walls on the reef when the swell arrives, and a row of surf schools on the sand. Most people who come for a week end up asking about staying a season — and that's the gap we fill. Our nine furnished apartments rent monthly ($550–$1,550) with the two things surf travellers never get from vacation rentals: real high-speed internet (Starlink) and a backup generator, so remote work actually works. Board storage is never a problem in a villa with this much space around it — and on flat days, Cabarete Bay's kite scene is ten minutes away.
