SUN, SAND AND SEA AT YOUR DOOR FRONT

My husband and I took the 5 kids to PR for the holiday, and this property made our stay perfect. The view of the ocean, access to the beaches, pool, and local community were outstanding. Dorado is a perfect location from which to explore the island. We easily drove to Arecibo, Catano, and the rain forest for day-excursions. I can't say enough about the service from Loida. She was so prompt and thorough with all the information we needed to make this a great stay. She even offered a service so that we would have some staples in the kitchen when we got in after our day of flights...what a great feature! Since this condo is in a residential area, although next to a hotel, we had the great fortune to chat with the locals and even shared a Christmas Eve toast! What a vacation! This was my first time using VBRO, and I can tell you that the reviews for this property are the truth! The property is impeccable and the service is extraordinary.

The town house is an easy twenty five minute drive from the airport. It is on three levels with two bedrooms and a bath on the middle floor, and a big bedroom and bath on the top floor. The place is equipped with everything you will need. There is a nice little patio at the back. You can hear the call of the coqui frogs at night!

The beach is right across the street. The hotel beach nearby is nicer, and beyond, if you walk further, are wild rocks and crashing waves, quite a sight! From Dorado, it is not hard to get to other parts of Puerto Rico - we went to the Bacardi Factory (15 mins), into Old San Juan (30 mins), El Yunque (75 mins) and Orocovis for a thrilling zip line ride (70 minutes). Groceries, some restaurants and other conveniences are just outside the complex, half a mile away.

Some minor things to know: No Internet; small TV; the nearby beach is not the prettiest; there is no door to close off the master bedroom.The two staircases might not be safe for children under 5.

If you read through these reviews, every one of them says the owner, Loida, is wonderful and goes out of her way to mahe your stay comfortable. That I can absolutely vouch for! When something didn't go right for us - the remote control for the gate didn't work at 5:00 AM (in Virginia where she lives) - Loida immediately sprang into action. She called security to get the gate opened for us; later in the stay she had her sister drive 30 miles to deliver us another remote, and she had security fix the non-working remote. She also called to ask how things were going and texted us helpful tips on what to do on the island. I have not met her, but I am sure she is a lovely person.

We just spent six wonderful days in Dorado visiting family. The villa is very well-maintained, immaculately clean, and well-supplied with all necessities (linens, bath & beach towels, kitchen ware, iron) as well as many extra amenities (beach chairs, beach umbrella) . The description and pictures in the listing are accurate. Our group of six was very comfortable at all times.
From the very beginning, communication with the owner was extremely smooth and replies were very prompt. The owner provided excellent directions to the townhouse, instructions for start and end of the rental period, information on the area, and addressed all our concerns. We didn't use the large and beautiful pool, but very much enjoyed the beach, which is just a few steps away. We hope to be able to return to the villa on our next trip to PR and highly recommend this property.
