About this property

Beautiful and by the Beach - as Affordable as it Gets!

The villa has three stories, and 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 were visitors can usually enjoy tropical music concerts on the weekends.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Hector Cruz

I am a study abroad programs manager. My wife, 4 year old son and I live in this property and rent it whenever we travel. My favorite things to do here are reading in the hammock hanging in the balcony, cooking barbecues, and -amidst guitar music- enjoying drinks with family and friends.
In the picture, my sister Ivette Marie and myself. She will be the one greeting you at the villa and helping out with whatever you might need in Dorado.

Why they chose this property

Several reasons led me to buy this property. The town of Dorado is considered by most Puerto Ricans as one of the prettiest, cleanest, and most well-kept in the island. For that same reason it is home to many of finest hotels and golf courses in the island. In a addition it is only a short 30 minute drive to San Juan, making it very accessible to amenities in the capital. Safety was another major concern, and in that regard, the community is hard to top. Lastly, the peace and quiet that characterizes the environment makes it ideal for getting away from everything.

What makes this property unique

One of the best features of this location is how close it is to almost anything you might want or need. Forgot one ingredient for the recipe you were cooking? Feel like renting a movie and staying in tonight? Want to dine out? Want to go shopping? All of this and more is only 5 min away by car.
