Amazing property and great host!

My family and I had an amazing vacation. Diane was helpful every step of the way. The property is just like the photos and we all had our space and could gather on the huge back deck to watch the waves and relax. Dorado has fun restaurants and San Juan is a short drive away. We will definitely be returning to this property.

Nothing short of stellar

This stunning home has it all! If you're looking for a view, you cannot do better. It's feet from the water and there is tons of outdoor seating on the main level and upstairs to enjoy the 180 degree views. The bedrooms are all spacious and the beds/bedding/pillows are some of the most comfy I've experienced. The bathrooms are plentiful and modern. The home itself is nicely laid out, beautifully decorated and has all the amenities you will need - more extras than I have ever seen. The gated community is very safe and close to restaurants. Check in and out and communication were so quick and easy. Steps to the beach are right next to the home. I highly recommend this home!!

Great Winter Getaway

My family and I enjoyed Diane's luxury oceanfront home. There was plenty of space for my family of 8. The views were amazing. She has went above and beyond to provide amenities for our family to help us be comfortable throughout our stay. The home is located less than 10 mins from several beaches, we were able to visit 2 of them. Would recommend for anyone traveling to Puerto Rico and wants to stay somewhere that provides a serene environment and peaceful experience.

Amazing and Increible Place

If anyone wants to visit Puerto Rico I recommend this 5 star plus property. You will find absolutely everything you need. You feel like you are in your own home. The service of the owners was incredible, attentive to all our needs and then the place was incredibly beautiful, the beach was perfect, the views were luxurious and the gated and secure community. El Dorado is an incredible place so therefore I tell you. This is the property that you should rent. I am already making my next arrangements to visit the island of enchantment again and of course in this beautiful property. Diane Thank you very much for everything.

Absolutely wonderful!!!

Amazing house! We loved our time in PR because of this house. The decks are incredible, the house is so well stocked, the kitchen as well as everywhere else. The area in front of the house was beachy with rocks which the kids (adult and young) loved exploring. While the lagoon was incredible! We would get up every morning and watch the sea turtles in the sea grass, it was magical. The lagoon/beach was never busy, we were normally the only ones there even though it was huge. Diane was so wonderful, easy to communicate with and so nice (even when I called her about silly things like lobster fishermen! ) I have stayed in so many rentals and this was the best! The kitchen was super functional, the bar area the same! The upstairs outdoor shower was unique and awesome (even during a thunderstorm!) the beds were super comfy and the sheets were so soft! Diane has done an awesome job of making a vacation home for all ages! 100% highly recommended!

Wonderful family vacation in Puerto Rico

We had a fabulous trip at this beautifully equipped and decorated property. Great communication with host Diana. Our trip consistent of 8 adults, visiting family on the island. Location was great, easy access to stores/restaurants. Beach is just a few steps away, with surprisingly good snorkeling and beautiful elkhorn coral reef. Snorkeling gear is provided along with beach towels/chairs/life vests. The kitchen has all the necessary amenities. We ate out on 2 evenings and grilled at home the rest of the stay. Having access to 2 refrigerators was nice to plan for a larger group. Plenty of seating for a larger gathering. We were able to host 14 people for dinner one evening. The main floor of the house does have a couple of steps from the main entrance/master bedroom and the main dining room that can be unsafe for anyone with mobility or eyesight issues but we had no trouble with this. This area on island continues to suffer from power outages, even on clear days so having a working generator at the house was necessary. The generator is powerful enough to be able to comfortably stay indoors while power returns. Small crabs occasionally make it into the house which are fun to watch. Outdoor deck has spectacular views and great space for morning stretches/yoga. Yoga mats would be a great addition. No hot tub or bicycles as on initial listing but this has been fixed. Our stay was exceptional, and we would again eagerly stay at Diana's gorgeous beachside property in a heartbeat.

Las Terrazas

This is a magical place. We were a family of 10 (5 adult couples) and fit super comfortably. Over the years we have experienced many vacation rentals, condos, houses, etc and this is what the top looks like. Depending on which family member you asked, you'd get a different reason why the house is so special. Some liked the rooms with vistas out onto the ocean blue, others liked the big terrace with palm trees growing through it, easy beach access, solitude (neighbor houses weren't being used), the decor, modern amenities and you can't forget Diane, the host. I've worked in the hotel industry for 20 years and she is a professional. It is obvious through our various communications that she goes above and beyond in order to make sure her guests are well taken care of and have what they need. Today I asked my dad (a man of few words) if he liked Puerto Rico. He said yes, followed by, I really liked the house. If you are looking for a large place that's RIGHT on the water, within 45 minutes of San Juan, and a 5 minute drive to restaurants and grocery stores, look no further. Because of its relative seclusion, better to have a car. Not impossible to use taxis and ubers, but you will have to wait 20 to 30 minutes. I miss it already. We will be back. Thank you Diane!

Not just saying this - BEST Host I've Ever worked with

I have only good things to say about my 5 day stay here and I would most certainly do it again / recommend others to do so. House: The house was beautiful and had an incredible view of the ocean. The porch was accommodating for a large group of people to enjoy and my friends and I spent quite a bit of time out here grilling and smoking cigars and just having a great time. We were a very short walk to beach access, which was definitely a huge bonus. Rooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. We had every utensil, appliance, cookware, etc. that we needed to make ourselves at home. With multiple common areas, the large group of us we comfortable in staying as a group and playing games or splitting off into 2 separate groups doing 2 separate activities comfortably. Host: The preparation and attention to detail from the host was on another level. The house included the most robust first aid kit I've ever seen (which we had to use and were glad to have it). There was a basket of business cards and brochures of different resources for us to use during our stay here. There is a large game selection in the closet, and a beautiful Chinese checkers table in the living room. Never did I think I would see the day that, at a bachelor party, Chinese checkers would be the main attraction. Diane was very communicative and ready to help with ANYTHING at all times during our stay. We spent the most of our trip at the house (which was not the plan) because it was so amazing. Thanks!

Our stay at this gorgeous house was wonderful! The place is clean and spacious, beautifully decorated, well stocked with quality materials. The deck is so spacious and is furnished for a large group. The host stayed in communication with us for the whole duration and answered any questions we had. She also allowed us to checkout as late as we wanted. I would love to book this place again.

Home in Paradise

Traveled to Puerto Rico with 9 family members for Spring Break and this was the perfect house for all of our needs. Fantastic location in Dorado and an easy drive from San Juan. The house has such incredible views and multiple decks to enjoy them from. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs and a lovely living room. Large sundeck accessible from the living room and two of the bedrooms. One bedroom even has a shower located outside. It’s the only place you can get a tan while showering! Downstairs has one large master bedroom off the front entry. It has a large kitchen with a breakfast nook and a small room off the kitchen with additional space for meal prep. The refrigerator was well stocked with condiments and even some wine and beer from prior guests. Dining room seats 8 easily or even 10 if needed. Living room opens out to a massive deck with plenty of furniture for the entire family. There’s even a bar with a refrigerator just off the dining room. This house was very well stocked for all of our needs and especially well stocked for the beach, which was an easy walk down the stairs just off the driveway. We had plenty of towels, beach chairs, a couple of blow up floating lounge chairs, a kayak, paddle board and even snorkeling equipment. The tide pools just below the house were fun to explore. Diane, the owner, was amazing. She was very communicative, made us feel like family and responded to every question we had. Will definitely return to Puerto Rico and this beautiful home.

Beautiful Home, beautiful view, great vacation

We had a fantastic stay, the house is beautiful. The view is even more beautiful than the pictures do justice. It is in a gated community with a beach just out the door and down some stairs that we basically had to ourselves. It is close to a great hiking trail just to the west, the town around the house has some great restaurants. The owner is extremely attentive and communicates throughout. We had a cracked coffee carafe and she was there a couple of hours later with a new coffee maker. You will not feel neglected. It's a wonderful place to relax and a great jumping off point to go explore Puerto Rico. We will visit again. Thanks Diane!

The house was gorgeous. A perfect combo of en-suite bedrooms/bathrooms and common outdoor living.Very clean, very well equipped which we appreciated bc we cooked in a few nights. The protected cove with a beautiful beach was just steps away. Diane was a perfect hostess; she checked in occasionally, answered questions promptly, and made good suggestions. Enjoy!

Puerto Rican Paradise

WOW WOW WOW! What else is there to say that hasn't already been said? 5 Stars all around. I knew the property was special from the listing. Diane is the ultimate host. The house is furnished with top notch amenities, linens and towels and the beds are amazing. The art work and decor is beautiful. Diane answered every question sometimes before I even asked! She has the system perfected and will make you want for nothing. there wasn't anything that we went looking for that we didn't find. Just perfect! The Dorado area is uniquely beautiful and you feel like you are in a tropical paradise. The price might seem high but comparatively speaking it it a bargain. This is our third trip to Puerto Rico and by far was our best experience. Ubers are very reasonable if you are traveling to San Juan. My son was married in Old San Juan and we had a rental car but still relied in Uber on many occasions. Just book this magnificent property if you have the opportunity, you will love it! Thanks for everything Diane!

Wonderful Girls' Reunion Stay

We stayed in Diane's Oceanfront Dorado house for a 40th birthday trip for ten college friends and the house was perfect! Not only is the location amazing, with sweeping ocean views from nearly every part of the house, but Diane was a wonderful host who went above and beyond. She provided us with so many details and recommendations before arriving and even went the extra mile to make it a special weekend, setting us up with a birthday surprise! The house was clean, beds were comfortable and everything was as pictured. We were steps away from the beach and the location was close to everything we hoped to see! You can hear the ocean from several rooms in the house, so we chose bedrooms accordingly, as some of us enjoyed that. Would recommend this house wholeheartedly. Thanks for a great stay and a wonderful birthday celebration, Diane!

Excellent Beach House

Ten family members stayed together for five days in this lovely beach house. The house was roomy, immaculate and just plain beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked and very functional. The deck overlooked a rocky beach with ocean waves crashing just in front of the house. The adjacent sandy beach was perfect for swimming and sun bathing. My sister-in-law, who was with us, is trying to book the house for another stay. All-in-all, this was a wonderful experience.

A Gem of a VRBO That You’ll Never Want to Leave

Our group of 11 was blown away by this property. The views from the 2 levels of decks were incredible. The wide variety of high-quality outdoor furniture made both decks favorite spots. The owner took great care to add personal touches throughout including stocked showers, amble beach towels, coolers, guidebooks & maps and more. The house, which is in a gated community with 24-hour security, boasts a living room with gorgeous views with plenty of seating and a well-stocked kitchen. Common areas on both levels have their own efficient mini splits as well as one in each bedroom. The free-standing bar and extra full-size fridge were also a plus. The “secret” half bath, with its’ access from the outdoors, made it very convenient to use when enjoying the outdoors. The house located just a short walk from the private access to the beach was even closer than we anticipated. The gate was conveniently locked and unlocked each day by security, but our own key was also available. Although the beach is shared by the gated community, most days it was secluded. We were lucky enough to see 3 manatees just a few feet from shore one afternoon! We had the privilege of meeting Diane, and she is just as lovely, warm and welcoming as her home. She was out of the country for part of our stay but remained in contact with me for any questions and had her friend, Debbie, available if needed. We’d definitely recommend this VRBO for anyone seeking a superior vacation rental in the Dorado area.
