La maison avec vue - Oceanfront Property à Dorado

We had a wonderful stay. It was gratifying to see how much the neighborhood, and Puerto Rico in general, has recovered from hurricane Maria. The house was even better than the last time we stayed there, and we thought it was perfect then! The people of PR are it’s greatest treasure, and that was in evidence more than ever.

This ample spaced house is like homecoming. All toys, games and etc... are provided, so you have to take only your clothes and whatever you choose to eat. Bathrooms are the latest. Linens very nice and comfortable beds. There is space for the guests and for all visiting friends. We enjoyed our stay very much. ALso, we took it as home base, from which we went to other attractions not so far away, like the Radio Telescope in Arecibo. The beach is beautiful, though waves can be rough.

We were the first renters at this property since hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. If you are wondering if it's a good destination, don't hesitate! We went all over the island during our adventure seeking vacation, and everywhere we went, we were met with enthusiastic smiles, people ready to show you the wonderful culture and life offered in Puerto Rico, and businesses open to serve. Everything, everywhere we went, was in good order.

As for this property? The pictures, as incredible as they make the house look, don't begin to do it justice. It's the most luxurious, yet warm and inviting, environment. We traveled with 10 people ranging in ages from 17 to 51 and there was plenty of privacy for everyone, while at the same time abundant community spaces for people to hang out together. After our long days of adventure seeking, we came home and played games on the terrace(s) and living room, enjoyed a nice evening of grilling and cocktails, listened to music on the portable speaker provided, and laughed a lot while making many unforgettable memories.

Diane (the homeowner) left no detail out when preparing to share her rental with us. She provided everything we could think of at the home, and I mean everything. From toiletries and robes, beach towels, spices in an elaborately stocked kitchen, a wet bar with its own full-size refrigerator, to reliable WiFi for us to use as needed. The amenities are second to none, but her suggestions of places to visit, places to eat, and information in general were invaluable. She invested herself into our experiences with her knowledgeable suggestions, and it made our experience even better.

You will need to rent a car. There isn't much of an Uber or Lyft presence on the island. But if you need to hire someone to take you home from a night of clubbing, Diane has the names of people you can use. We found the GPS (Garmin) to give us some bad routes as well, so map out your destination before just blindly following the suggested route or you might end up driving through the mountains instead of taking a safer route. But even that was a memorable experience. Electricity was never an issue anywhere we went. Car rental at airport was very easy and convenient. No problems at all.

In summary, we had the vacation of a lifetime with our friends and family in an unforgettable location. Puerto Rico was amazing, the house is astounding, and Diane is a wonderful resource and hostess. You simply can't go wrong.

First, Diane is truly a class act! She was most welcoming to my family and I when we first arrived. She went out of her way to make herself available the entire trip and went above and beyond by bringing us lunch one day. Nothing better than good ole Puerto Rican food!! My youngest son got hurt on the trip and she displayed so much compassion by checking in on him daily and even going so far as to bake him a delicious Rum cake. Again, a fantastic family that is second to none!! The house was nicer that the pictures showed and extremely clean when we arrived. The balcony was absolutely the place we all enjoyed hanging out at night and day. It provided a one million dollar view!! The community was secure and very safe. The reef/lagoon was fantastic to swim, kayak and go snorkeling in. My boys and I had so much fun and it provided an opportunity for great memories. The location was convenient to San Juan, El Yuenque and many of the other attractions on the Island. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this house as a vacation destination!!

This was my first time using VRBO to find a vacation rental. I was hesitant that the rental home wouldn't be like the pictures. The owner Diane met me at the home when I arrived. I was amazed ! I could hardly focus while she have me the tour of her spacious, and impeccably decorated home. I kept repeating to myself, "this is amazing!" The views are stunning and the private beach was more than we could ask for. Its located close to everything from shopping to dining out. It was our first vacation to Puerto Rico and my brother and his family joined me. I chose the rental and set everything up, so there was a potential a lot of people could be either happy or disappointed. They were just as amazed as I was. With 8 of us staying at the home, there were questions that came up. The owner, Diane is simply magnificent. Whenever I texted her with a question, she answered so quickly it was as though she was waiting for my text. She was the most gracious host, answering questions, and giving suggestions. She even stopped by a few mornings to check on how we were doing. she made everything available to us from cooking supplies to bicycles to beach gear. I could go on and on about the beauty of the home and the way we felt so welcomed by Diane. As a side note, I had left behind a personal item. I called Diane, and of course received a reply right away. She actually took a picture to confirm the item and personally went and mailed it back to me. I received it a few days later. That's not the act of a renter, that's something a friend would do. Simply put, its not just a vacation rental, it's like staying at your new friends home. I'll finish by saying, if your considering a rental location in Dorado that can accommodate up to 12 people. Look no further. This is the place, and you will not be disappointed. IT IS AMAZING !!!
