S & M Realty represents a collection of homes across three towns — chosen for what they are, not just listed for what they cost. It comes down to a simple philosophy: doing good business with good people!
We don't just sell homes. We sell a lifestyle.
Three towns, one coastline — every home in our collection is walked personally, more than once, before it ever reaches a listing page.
Casa Linda sits in the hills above Sosúa, on the Dominican Republic's north coast — a gated, resort-style community built over more than three decades into one of the area's most established addresses. It's laid out as a self-contained neighborhood: private villas and townhomes set around shared clubhouse grounds, with its own restaurant, water park, and recreation facilities, rather than relying on anything outside the gates.
Homes in the community range from compact 2-bedroom villas to larger 5- and 6-bedroom estates, and villas typically come with their own private pool, a landscaped lot, and finishes like quartz countertops and solid wood cabinetry as standard. Several of the resale homes currently available are already fully furnished and set up as short-term rentals, so a buyer can move in — or start renting the property out — right away.
Day to day, Casa Linda runs like a small resort: 24-hour manned security at the gate, a dedicated events coordinator, and a monthly HOA fee that covers common-area landscaping, road upkeep, and the shared amenities below. It's this combination — real security, resort-style recreation, and genuinely turnkey homes — that makes Casa Linda one of the communities we get asked about most.
The community's own restaurant and bar, with a daily happy hour, themed dinner nights, and live music — many residents don't need to leave Casa Linda for a night out.
A resort-style water park built into the grounds: an adults' pool, a lazy river, a dedicated kids' zone, and a poolside bar.
A roughly 3 km walking trail loops the property, alongside a mini-golf course and tennis and pickleball courts.
A daily shuttle runs residents into Sosúa, out to Cabarete beach, and to nearby shopping, so a car isn't strictly necessary.
Manned, gated access around the clock, with security patrolling the community grounds day and night.
An onsite welcome center, an events coordinator, and a genuine social calendar — Casa Linda was built to feel like a neighborhood, not just a subdivision.
Whether you're buying or selling, the path is the same shape — we just walk it with you.
We narrow the market to what actually fits your budget, timeline, and non-negotiables.
In-person walkthroughs with an agent who points out what photos never show.
We draft the number with local comps behind it, then negotiate on your behalf.
Paperwork, inspection follow-ups, and closing day — coordinated start to finish.
Every agent at S & M Realty lives on the North Coast — Sosúa, Cabarete, and Puerto Plata are home turf, not just a service area.
"Hi Sheena, yes we were the clients who kept you up day and night. You and Michael were so wonderful to us. I couldn't dream of having anyone better to look after us. Life is so difficult when you are so far away and still, you made us so welcome and made the process so smooth.
If anyone out there thinking about buying or selling a property in DR you should meet our star agents and have the experience working with them. You did not just help us sell our property you made us feel like we were family.
I can not thank you enough for your prompt response and professional service in taking the extra mile to make things happen as soon as possible.
I feel like I have a friend forever on the other side of the world.
Thanks xxx"
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Sheena and Michael from a business relationship perspective, as I am a renowned builder on the North Coast area. From the moment I met Sheena, Mike, and her five wonderful children, it was always smooth sailing. Since then, we have established a strong business relationship where Sheena has put us in contact with clients interested in building here.
Working with Sheena and Michael has been a joy—they are honest, straightforward, and always call it like it is. What sets them apart from other agents is their unwavering commitment to their clients. While most agents typically step back once the build commences, Sheena and Michael remain involved every step of the way. Their dedication doesn't end with the sale; they continue to provide support and assistance throughout the entire building process.
If you are looking for reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated agents who will be with you from start to finish, I highly recommend Sheena and Michael."

From the moment we met, I knew Sheena was the realtor for us. With her down to earth personality and her thick skin, we knew she would find us our piece of paradise. If we had any issues or questions, Sheena was always available to send a message or voice note. Along with finding the perfect property, she helped us find a wonderful builder.
We no longer call Sheena and Michael our realtor, we call them our friends. Thank you both ♥"

"Michael and Sheena have been invaluable colleagues over the past three years. Our professional relationship began when they became clients, benefiting from my insurance services. Throughout our collaboration, they have consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication.
They have been proactive in referring clients to me for insurance-related inquiries, reflecting their commitment to comprehensive client care. Sheena and Michael excel in ensuring all client needs are met, going beyond expectations to provide assistance and support, even beyond matters directly related to real estate.

"10/10. We began our realty experience with Sheena and Michael with an online Dominican real estate search, and as luck happened, we began to converse with Sheena. Immediately she placed our minds at ease, that we could trust her honest, caring, customer service approach to the challenges of Dominican Real Estate.
Hard work, and a genuine love for making people happy, has this Realty duo, tops in our books. Not once did we doubt their work ethic, which in our opinions, went above and beyond any realty experience that we've ever experienced. Not only did we find the perfect piece of land to purchase, but Sheena and Michael offered their assistance in finding the perfect builder for our dream home.
Our relationship has grown from business, to close friends. With all honesty and sincerity, this team can't be beat."
"We had the pleasure of working with Sheena and Michael to purchase a villa in Cabrera, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. After some consideration, we decided to explore the North Coast, thinking Sosua and Cabarete would be ideal. However, as we worked with Sheena, she showed us various options, including land and existing villas. It was then we discovered Cabrera and fell in love with it.
With Sheena's help, we secured an immaculate villa with breathtaking mountain and ocean views at an incredible price, even below the listing price. Sheena and Michael's dedication went above and beyond our expectations, even when the deal faced potential hurdles due to issues on the seller's side.
We highly recommend Sheena and Michael to anyone looking to buy or rent property in the Dominican Republic. Their expertise, dedication, and personal touch made our experience truly remarkable."
"I had the pleasure of meeting one of the most amazing people and realtors Sheena and her partner Michael, who is the backbone behind their success. Even though they have a very busy and fulfilling life, with their wonderful children, they have the ability to be so helpful in every aspect.
You know what they say, always ask a busy person for assistance, because their time is so well managed. That being said, it will be them to find the time to help you find exactly what you are looking for."
"I met Sheena on Facebook when we were in Cabarete last winter. I commented on a post about a home for sale since we were looking to buy a condo in Cabarete. Within minutes of my message she messaged me back. I later found out that we were messaging back and forth during her being in labour with her 5th child. Business during labour, seriously, who does that?
From that point forward Sheena and I have grown a fast friendship. Sheena and Michael are the kind of people I admire and want to work with. Sheena has been so open and honest with me, and she is always keeping me informed with the real estate market on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic.
As they say, first impressions are a lasting impression — a huge fan of Sheena and Michael, your forever clients."
