Our family of six just returned from the villa. What I can say is the view is breath taking. Also, there are several amenities (i.e., towles, dishes, bbq, etc) that will make your stay comfortable. However, there is no air condition on the first floor and on our 2nd night the ac in the master started going out. Although Eva was prompt with getting a service repairman, the unit needed a motor and therefore meant we didnt have a/c for the majority of our stay. Also, I would recommend a some touch-ups to the unit. It is clean and comfortable but could use a bit of fixing up compared to the unit next door. All in all, it was a good deal but I would have chosen another unit if not in a rush. Note, I'm from Ga and not use to the tropical heat so it really put a damper and might have slanted my review more than someone that doesn't mind being without a/c.

PS *the bikes were flat but I did have the security inflate the tires but never got a chance to ride them.

I have to say that I was very happy with my stay at Eva's Villa in Dorado.I was a little worry at first beacuse I have only stay in San Juan every time am on the island,but once I got to the location I felt very safe. Eva's Father was there to met us he is such a sweet man he made us feel right at home.Eva was very sweet and helpful she gave me all the info I need it in regards to the villa. This Location is very safe and secure that I had no problem with my childern ridding the bikes out side the complex. My Family and I felt very at home and I look foward to going back to this villa when I return to Puerto Rico in a few months.

Dorado is a very beautiful city and the villa was lovely and well maintained. The washer and dryer was a plus and the espresso coffee machine was just perfect for me and my husband (coffee drinkers, Lol) . We had our breakfast at the beach front terrace EVERY MORNING. The living area, in the first floor, have a very refreshing sea breeze, and the cross ventilation makes it very pleasant. Regarding the rooms, linens and towels were very clean, A/C was very cold ( although we slept with the windows open most of the time, to enjoy the ocean sound) and the shower water temperature was working properly. Another extra , is the parking spot right in front of the Villa, as my husband has back problems and can’t walk long distances. We truly want to thank Eva, for letting us stay at her place, and for the discount she made to us(lol), we really appreciated it, and we are planning to stay there at least once a year.
God bless you,
Sincerely,
B and E, Fom San Antonio, TX

Hi Eva!
Your place is wonderful, but it could be fixed up a little bit, foremost would be the A/C in the first floor, but the air is very cold in the rest of the villa. The location is great and we had no other major complaints. The owner was very accommodating and always responded promptly to our calls; she even allowed us to check in early and had the keys in the villa ready for us.
Dorado is great and centrally located, close to major attractions and great restaurants you need to rent a car and enjoy the rest of the island! I would recommend the villa to all my friends and family. Thank you for everything Eva!

Eva,
Thank you for facilitating our "once-in-a-lifetime" visit to the very special island of Puerto Rico. And what a spectacular location! Dorado del Mar is a truly idyllic location - thank you for giving us paradise on a platter. Thank you also for being such a great hostess- your special blend of elegance, charm and generosity of spirit was very much appreciated.

Location is great -

Directions for acquiring the key were too vague

The upside - lovely grounds, great pool, great beach (not directly across the road but a short walk west). WiFi was a bonus.

The downside - very poorly maintained and sparsely outfitted. Duct tape holding screen on door in kitchen and hinges on kitchen doors (doors falling off) - some knobs missing. To be fair, the duct tape issue was addressed after our arrival (should have been taken care of before ). Kitchen was a hodge-podge - limited cutlery (3 knives, 3 forks, 3 teaspoons - lots of blue plastic cutlery!) - no toaster, potato peeler, can opener, corkscrew, or regular coffee maker (not everyone drinks espresso), only 1 wine glass, no potholders or kitchen towels. Some drawers were full of junk.

This villa (a bit of a stretch) sleeps 6. The dining room only seats 4. There is seating in the living room for only 2- a loveseat. Are the rest of the guests expected to sit on the floor?

The bedrooms - junk left in the dresser drawers and closets, 1 reading lamp for 3 bedrooms, plastic covers on the mattresses, very cheap bedding, 1 bath towel per person for one week, no hand towels, no face cloths. No cold water in the sink in the second floor bathroom, faucet handle on the third floor shower fell off. Had to unscrew the light bulbs in the third floor fan so we could run the fan while sleeping. The pull chain did not work. No one came to fix things as promised.

Slats on vertical blinds missing or broken. Vertical blinds in second floor bedroom would not open - slats had to be pulled together and tied ! Opening curtains in master bedroom caused curtain rod to fall apart.

Lock on third floor balcony door not working - had to scavenge a piece of wood from a trash can to jam between door and frame.

The terrace was the nicest feature. Wooden table and chairs (4 only) - great for eating, not comfortable for lounging. Green plastic chair - broken slat in the seat. Canvas folding chairs - one good one, three broken and ripped. Two white wicker chairs - one with broken seat.

This accommodation is not worth the charge - minimum expenditure, maximum profit . The "customer service" was minimal. Response to concerns - expectations too high. We have travelled for over 45 years and have a pretty good handle on what we should expect for this weekly charge. Second week accommodation in Ocean Park - A-1.

We spent a week a this villa and we had a wonderful time. The owner was very nice and accommodating; she was very flexible with the check-in and check-out times. We loved the villa, the pool and the beach, and the view from the third floor bedroom was simply breathtaking!!! Our kids loved the kayak and the pool. The town has a lot to offer: restaurants, shops, supermarket, movie theaters, drug store. We are already making plans for next year. Thanks for everything! Russell and Joanne.

Wonderful week at the villa

We just returned from our best summer vacation in years. We spent a week at this wonderful villa. It is right in front of the beach, nicely furnished, and the owner (Eva) provides you with everything you need. But be sure to pick up a few groceries and beverages before you go to the villa.

The master bedroom has a spectacular view of the ocean; you can see it from your bed! We ate breakfast every morning on the terrace.

Weather is always perfect. Rent a car and tour the island. Truly, a wonderful experience. There are excellent restaurants close by and you can even buy fresh seafood from the fishermen (across the street from the villa). Overall, I'd definitely recommend it and would love to come back sometime.

Never Rent This Villa Nor From The Owners Again!!!

1 of 5
Submitted: June 27, 2008 Stayed: June 2008
We will never rent this villa nor from the owners again!!! We were very particular in inquiring about the cleanliness of the villa. We were assured that the villa is very clean and in good condition. We were very disappointed with the cleanliness and state of repair of the villa! We left after one day and moved to a hotel, which incurred us additional costs! The two partners did not refund any for the horrible experience in their villa.

On cleanliness, my wife spent our 1st night and morning cleaning. Kitchen counters were dirty. White paper towels turned black after wiping off countertops. Stovetop had oil splatters and black grime. Fridge door handle had dirt that couldn’t be wiped off. Also, bug traps in dish cabinets? Stair handles were dirty. Stairs were carpet, which looked dated and dirty with stains. Cobwebs under the stairs, on the corners of the rooms and by the a/c units. Time was not spent thoroughly cleaning the place. I noted that the washer/dryer was not big enough for the bed covers.

On the state of repair, it seems the minimum amount was spent to repair the villa. Maybe it was omen that when we arrived and the owners led us into the villa via the terrace; screen door came off and had to be reinstalled. Kitchen screen door kept coming off, making it hard to open and close the door. Privacy was an issue as some vertical blinds in all flrs were missing. At night, with the lights on inside, people outside could see inside, including the 3rd flr master bdrm. The online pics did not show the missing blinds as they were drawn back.

Bottom and floors of 3rd flr shower had mold. Shower handle was broken. A piece of metal was sticking out to turn on/off the shower. The amenities included a washer/dryer, which had rust. We were told that the inside was ok, but who would wash their clothes in something that’s rusted.

The closets also were not clean and had other things (e.g. chains, costumes, etc.). The clothes bar was bent and I was afraid it would fall down. The 3rd flr master bdrm did not have a walk-in closet.

The beach was disappointing. We were told that the beach was sandy and nice. We should have noted that we were referred to Embassy Suites for a “nicer” beach. Driving to San Juan was more than 20 mins and with traffic more than 1 hr!

We weren’t looking for a 1st class villa, just a decent and clean villa. The response to some of our issues was that the villa was old. Old doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be repaired and maintained!
Owner's Response: For THREE years none of our guests have complained about the villa. In fact, most of them have returned or had recommended the villa to their friends and family. We assure all our customers that the property is in good conditions, clean and well maintained. However, for reasons beyond our control, we had a disagreement with this customer about our refund policy and this is the only reason why we assume he wrote such a distorted review. This review DOES NOT reflect the actual and real state of the property. For example, at the time the review was made, every bedroom had BRAND NEW linens and bed covers; the villa was recently painted; the washer/dryer was in mint conditions; and every bedroom had brand new mini split units. In fact, CURRENTLY the villa continues to be clean and well maintained. Also, professional cleaning services are provided right before every guest’s arrival.
Puerto Rico is a relatively small island: you can go from one end to another in about 2 or 3 hours. This particular property is located in the coastal city of DORADO, on the north coast of Puerto Rico, and is about 20 mins. away from San Juan. Nevertheless, like in any state of the U.S., during peak traffic hours (or unforeseen circumstances) the usual traveling time may vary. This is beyond our control. As a result, we advise customers that are not familiar with the island to plan their trip ahead in order to have an idea of the places they want to go and visit during their trip.
The villa is great for a “relaxing” vacation. The beach in front of the villa is nice and sandy and it is perfect for swimming, beachcombing and other leisure activities. As part of the “welcome tour” of our guests, information about the pool, other nearby beaches (including another beach inside the complex, by the Embassy Suites Hotel) and additional leisure activities is provided in order to make sure that guests are aware of ALL the amenities the villa has to offer. Therefore, while the beach in front of the villa is just perfect, guests can feel free to visit other nearby beaches.
Please note that we conduct our business in an HONEST and professional manner. There are no surprises or hidden agendas. We know how important it is to have a perfect vacation and we do our best to provide a good service and meet your expectations. If you would like more information about the villa, rental rules, our refund policy and/or additional pictures of the property, please feel free to contact us at any time.
