Wonderful stay

Our family of 7 adults and four children thoroughly enjoyed the house and beach. The children were able to all fit in the room with the day bed and trundle and full( or queen?) bed with their own bathroom. As the Grandma I got to enjoy the queen bed room which has the best view of any room- could sit in bed and stare at the ocean. Having the upstairs living room with a door to close it off was so helpful to keep the others from hearing the kids early in the morning. The stairs down to the beach are literally at the end of the driveway- so convenient for all the back and forth. The calmness of the bay was also great for the young ones. We spent most of our time on the beach but also enjoyed a day in the rain forest and an afternoon in Old San Juan. Highly recommend Diane’s place and she is very attentive, checked in frequently to be sure all was going well.

Paradise in Dorado

This place is beautiful. It is located inside a gated community in Dorado. The entire house was spacious and immaculate. A huge plus was the house back up Generator which came on during a major storm, it was a true lifesaver. The house is 100% Ocean front property, which provided awesome views of the Caribbean ocean from the upstairs or downstairs Patio. The owner was very nice and attentive. While we were there, we had a small problem that needed attention. I called her and she sent someone over right away and had it repaired it immediately.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely fabulous!

The home is amazing. As other reviews stated, the photos don’t capture the home’s beauty. The views are amazing, the beach is a 1 min walk, and each room is beautifully decorated. Both patios provide a variety of seating (or lounging) options to soak in the ocean views and sounds. The host proactively engaged with us to ensure our stay was enjoyable.

Amazing property for families!

The house was beyond our expectations. Diane did everything to personalize our stay and make us feel so welcome. She is an amazing host and so thoughtful. She even brought stuff for our baby to make our stay easy. She made the adults and kids feel so welcome. We had 3 coupes, a baby and 2 kids. Everyone had an amazing time. We have stayed in many rentals but Diane’s place was by far the best experience we’ve had.

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!

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!

Wonderful House and Host!

The house and setting are gorgeous. Very well equipped and clean, the house is roomy and open to the decks on both levels. The beach is only stair steps away. All the upstairs bedrooms open to a terrace overlooking the ocean. They call this paradise for a reason. Diane, the host and owner, is amazingly accessible and really goes out of her way to answer questions about restaurants, beaches, and interesting things to see and do. No question was too much and she responds to texts quickly. This was our first trip to Puerto Rico, and she helped us out so much. She is a gem!!

EXCEPTIONAL!!! So much space! For everyone!

This home the picture does not do justice. The house is absolutely stunning in person and the owner went out of her way to make the beach house like it was your home anything you need from kitchen things to everyone having their own robe in each bathroom, to having not one or two beach chairs and beach towels but well over 10 chairs to accommodate everyone in the house we are so happy we chose this beautiful house and we will definitely come back again and her price is very affordable. There are places that are not even on the beach and not as beautiful as her house three times the amount. Thank you so much for offering. Such a beautiful beach home for my family. We haven’t made great memories there. !!!

Exceptional Experience

We loved our time here and it was the best VRBO experience we have ever had. The pictures do not fully capture how beautiful this location is. The house is equipped with everything you need to enjoy the space and the beach. It is clean and the decor shows the care put into this home. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside for all travelers to sit together or separate when you need your own space. Diane was an amazing host providing us with so much information about the area and things to do that really helped to make our trip one we will never forget. We truly appreciate all she did for us. The beach area is quiet and perfect for travelers of all ages. We stayed with 6 people ages 9-82 and everyone LOVED our time here. The Dorado area had many great restaurant options and any of things we wanted to do were a reasonable driving distance (~45 minutes to San Juan; ~1.5 hours to Rainforest, Fajardo). We enjoyed our time at the house so much it made it hard to leave! We can’t wait to visit again. Your only regret will be not booking this location.

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!

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!
