Sosúa beach, Dominican Republic

Welcome to Sosua Stays

Your home base in one of the Caribbean's best-kept secrets

Our story

Born from a love of Sosúa

Sosua Stays was founded by Estarling, a Superhost who fell in love with Sosúa's laid-back charm, warm people, and impossibly blue water. After years of welcoming guests from around the world, the mission became simple: offer travelers a better alternative to big hotel chains — comfortable, well-equipped condos in a real Caribbean neighborhood, at prices that make sense.

Every condo in our collection is personally managed. That means clean linens, working AC, fast Wi-Fi, and a local contact who actually picks up the phone. No surprises, no hidden fees — just a great place to wake up every morning with the ocean a short walk away.
