Short Term Rental for solo female

Welcome to the forums. 

In terms of location I think Sosua are is going to work better or Cabarete depending where the school is.  Santo Domingo is a large vibrant crowded city and is anything but laid-back! I live here and while I love the opportunities, shopping and normally nightlife and restaurants, it's not relaxing or health and wellness focused

Cabarete is place to go or Encuentro. There's a great community of expats who do all that you want.

Short term Rentals right now range from. $400-750 for 1 bedroom.

And you can get vehicle for $300-600 per month to explore the island.

Hello  Uynghiem Ngo

I find your answer interesting.  Where exactly can you find a short term rental (for 2-3 months) for under $800 a month, that has wi-fi, air conditioning, a pool, security?   And car rentals too. Please post some links so anyone interested can check them out remotely.

Or spanish speaking is good, then rent from a local business - those are via whatsapp only.  If you need help let me know, I've spent some time walking around shopping.

We had a few places lend us their car as well for grocery and small excursions.
