Thanks to all who responded to my post about moving to Cabarete. Renting vs. buying is good advice and I will give that some consideration. In the mean times, can some of you give me some names of good complexes to look at when I come back in August. We would like to be centrally located in reference to grocery stores and other shopping and walking distance to beach. We would like to try living without a vehicle for a while. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, would love to meet up with some ex-pats from the US for a beer and conversation.
