About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Beautiful and by the Beach - as Affordable as it Gets!
The villa has three stories. It is surrounded by the sounds of nature and has a beautiful view of a tropical garden with palm trees swayed by a refreshing ocean breeze.
For families with children the garden is particularly convenient, as the community is gated, and children can be left to wander safely.
The villa is only 3 minutes away, by foot, from the nearest beach and a 1-minute walk from the community´s shared pool. There are two more beaches: the public municipal beach (4 min. walk) and that of the Embassy Suites Hotel (6 min. walk). Each one is unique in its own way and deserving a visit.
The place is quiet and peaceful. Truly, an excellent location to relax. The area is very safe and has constant vigilance from private security guards who are always doing the rounds and helpful with questions and needs that might arise.
In the municipal beach, there are beachfront restaurants where visitors can usually enjoy tropical music concerts on the weekends.

Visiting family
Our goal was to spend time with the last living great grandparent. The location was perfect, reasonable distance to airport and to family. It was spacious enough to host a small dinner with family when their power went out.
The rooms were spacious even though we didn’t need all of them. We just enjoyed our last visit to this same location we decided to use it again.
This place never disappoints. I’ve already recommended it to friends for their future travel plans.

Great stay and great host
This is our second time staying at Villas de Playa and it was perfect. It’s a great size and fit everyone comfortably (4 adults and a toddler). It’s so close to the beach and has a lovely yard that our toddler enjoys exploring every morning. We would absolutely stay there again in the future. Hector is a great host and remained in communication with us throughout. Highly recommend!

Perfect for families with kids!
The property is in excellent condition. It has AC units in every room and common area, (2) parking spots and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. The check-in process was straightforward and Hector (Host) was very kind, courteous, and very fast to respond to the few questions we had. It's about a 3-minute drive to the nearest beach - which is across the street from the main entrance to the complex - and getting from the apartment to the swimming pool is probably about a 15-second walk.
The area itself is quiet, safe, and centrally located. We had a grocery store that opens 24/7, a pharmacy, a gas station, many restaurants, an emergency care hospital, and a police station. Without traffic, it's about a 40-minute drive to the airport.
Overall, I had a great experience and truly enjoyed my stay at Hector's apartment, will be looking to stay here next time I travel to Puerto Rico.

Fantastic Family Visit to Dorado
We had a fantastic stay in Dorado. The property is exactly as described in the post. My husband and I were there with my mother and 3 year old. Everyone was very comfortable and there were so many spaces to enjoy. We were able to walk right up to the beach which was quiet and beautiful. The check-in process required a couple of steps, but everything was clearly communicated and we were able to get in pretty quickly. I highly recommend staying here, especially families!

Week in Dorado
It was the perfect property for my wife, in-laws and I. We love to visit places and have the convenience of cooking our own meals and this was perfect. Playing dominoes on the porch in the evenings made it extra special. The beach is a very short walk and very pleasant. We'd recommend this property to any family.

Great Experience
This location was great to us. We had everything we needed at our disposal. The owner was extremely detailed at how to enter the facility and everything required. The only negative is that we couldn’t find the gate beeper to enter the gated area, but the light post light was out and we couldn’t see it. There was also a misunderstanding with security and in one phone call, the owner took care of it right away.
The beach across the street is gorgeous! It was really nice to see all of the families enjoying the day and the kids jumping off the pier. The water was so clear and warm, the sun was so good to us! The locals/neighbors were so nice and friendly. Everything was near by, gas, pharmacy, restaurants, supermarket, etc. Old San Juan is only 25 minutes away!!
Parking, pool, beach, back/front patio area, washer, dryer, towels… I could go on and on. We are planning a return trip and this is where we will stay! Thank you for everything Hector!

L! annonce ne corresponds pas à la réalité.
Cette maison nous a décue. Dans la fiche sur le site de VRBO les photos montrent un angle qui ne laisse pas supposé que nous habiterons dans une maison en rangée. Nous pensions, selon les photos ,vivre dans une maison détachée avec un terrain privé. Pour ce qui est de la propreté celle-ci est vraiment déficiente au niveau de l'entretien de la maison. Le garde manger dégage une odeur d'humidité et de vieux aliments pas agréable du tout. La cuisine avec ces vielles armoires, l'eau dans le bas de l'évier, le côté très vieux des installations. Oui toute la maison est vielle, sombre et devrait être mise au goût du jour. Et que dire de la propreté de la galerie un amoncellement d'objets pas rangée et le barbecue sur celle-ci i n u t i l s a b l e tellement il est sale. Incroyable ! et idem dans une moindre mesure pour la laveuse-sécheuse. Aussi ouf! les oreillers dans le chambre du 2ième a jetter tellement elles sont vielles. Pour la lumière dans les chambres il y a beaucoup ..sauf que dans celle du 2ième il n'y a pas de toiles obscursistantes, et les pigeons font un bruit d'enfer la nuit..Hélas ma note est failble en raisons de plusieurs irritants. Positivement, nous avons aimé la piscine, le patio, la divison de la maison. L'annonce nous montrait une image très bien de cette maison et la réalité n'est pas celle-la, nous trouvons que le prix demandé est exagéeré.Nous demandons un remboursement partiel au propriétaire et à VRBO conjointement dans les 15 jours.
