FULL DESCRIPTION
This property is designed for guests seeking tranquility and not for groups looking to party or events. Villa Doncella Street lays on 12,000 sq. Foot lot and is a 2500 sq ft mid-century villa, completely private, double gated with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a wonderful outdoor living space with your own private pool and Jacuzzi. Each bedroom is equipped with a brand new mini-split air conditioning unit, and there are also brand new air conditioners in the living and dining room. We recently updated all the furniture and 5 Queen Beautyrest mattresses with high quality pillows and linens.

Located in Puntas Las Marias, one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in San Juan, getting around is easy by either walking or car. If you rent a car, parking is free as the villa offers a car port with two parking stalls. If you do not plan On renting a car, the area is easily walkable to both sides. To the east, Isla Verde, just 3 blocks away and to the west is Ocean Park and Condado which may take you around 15 min walking to Ocean Park and 25-30 minutes to Condado. Puntas Marias has a small rocky beach 3 houses down from the villa, otherwise it is a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest main beaches depending which direction you walk in.

Just 10 minutes drive from Luis Munoz International Airport, Ocean Park and Punta Las Marias - Dividing the Beach Resort areas of the Condado and Isla Verde, Ocean Park and Punta Las Marias are beachfront residential neighborhood with probably the prettiest and most low-key beach in San Juan. The beaches are wide here, and the sun beats down on the beach longer because there are few large condominiums. It's great for windsurfing and kite-sailing, games of paddle ball and body surfing. The tree-covered streets are filled with beautiful suburban homes, a charming mix of Malibu, Spanish, and Caribbean influences.

The white, arching Ultimate Trolley Beach delineates the border between Ocean Park and Punta Las Marias. Adjacent to that, the neighborhood of Santa Teresita, with its share of equally stunning residences, has an equally nice park, Barbosa Park. The park is usually filled with soccer and basketball players. There are tennis courts, a baseball field, and a track, which are always a beehive of activity.

The beach disappears into a rock formation at Punta Las Marías, which is a gated community open to pedestrian visitors during the day. But unless you're a windsurfer or surfer using one of the neighborhood's famed launching points, your experience of the beaches are mostly in Park Boulevard st., a 5 minute walk from the house.

Another interest lately are the string of fine restaurants along Calle Loíza, right before it turns into Avenida Isla Verde.

Isla Verde- just steps from the Villa, Playa Isla Verde basks in its reputation as the Copacabana of Puerto Rico. this broad, mile-long wedge of sand that lies to the east of Punta Las Marías is an undeniable beauty.
Serenity seekers may prefer to dodge the extended families and colonizing spring-break hedonists that stake space here and head west to Ocean Park beaches.

Condado is one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Puerto Rico, and offers resorts and guesthouses right on the beach for tourists. The beautiful oceanfront Window of the Sea Park is at the center of the area; it opens onto the Atlantic Ocean and is fronted by gleaming townhouses and luxury towers, home to glamorous residences, restaurants, and designer fashion stores. These include Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo, luxury condos, and Budatai, one of the island's best restaurants. The former La Concha has opened next door and luxury condos were built in the former Vanderbilt hotel nearby. Luxury hotels and more modest guesthouses fill the sector, as do wonderful restaurants of all types. One central road, Avenida Ashford, runs through Condado, which, at night especially, still evokes something of Miami Beach, with its restored Art Deco properties and modern luxury condos and hotels.

Very nice stay

It was a great stay in a very nice, secure location. The house was clean, large and perfect for our family of 7.Edgar was great for recommendations for a private boat tour of the islands, and amazing restaurants were walkable distance. Pool and outside area were very nice.

Good Property

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Getting in the first time was a little tricky. The property was nice but area outside the gated area was a little rough. Some people in our group said the mattresses were hard. The one in the master was fine for me though. Edgardo was very responsive and easy to work with. Property could use a little upkeep but overall it was good.

Home away from home

Spacious, comfortable spaces (small kitchen, but just fine for us). The patio/pool was a particularly enjoyable outdoor space any time of the day. Wonderful time was had by all. Could walk to morning coffee, see ocean, beaches, bus, stores.

Nice place!

Just as described in VRBO listing. Property manager responded in a timely manner to our messages. Some closet shelves were on the floor, but not a big issue as we still had plenty of storage for our week here. One bedroom (or was it two) didn’t have closets, but we only needed three bedrooms, so it wasn’t an issue for our stay. Great location…walkable to groceries, bars and restaurants. Short Uber ride to Old San Juan and T-mobile district. Would stay here again!

Beautiful Property in Excellent Neighborhood

We had a great time in Puerto Rico due in great part to the our choice of Villa. Even though our flight was delayed, Edgardo - our property liaison - was very cooperative and accommodating. We were able to enter the property without issue even though we arrived much later than expected.The Villa itself is very nice. There were plenty of bedrooms for our 5-person family, and every room had its own AC unit to keep us cool and comfortable. The towels and linens were fresh and clean, and the facilities were also clean upon our arrival. The pool was the highlight of the property and we spent hours at a time relaxing in the warm water. With the Villa being in a private gated community, we felt very safe during our stay.One worthwhile note is we happened to travel when the entirety of Puerto Rico was suffering from power outages. On one night, the whole island lost power for over 8 hours. The property had a backup generator which ensured we still had power and, more importantly, AC to keep us cool throughout the night. What a relief!If you are looking for a nice place to stay while in Puerto Rico, with plenty of room and accommodations, in a safe neighborhood while still being relatively close to the markets and Old San Juan area, we highly recommend this location!

Great Birthday Getaway

Pros:- The check-in process was good. There was a little delay because we requested early check-in.- The amenities/rooms were perfect: spacious living room, well equipped kitchen, appliances, very nice swimming pool and jacuzzi with comfortable lounging chairs. Ample dining & sitting rooms. And last but not least a laundry area.- There was some great information left in the Welcome Packet. It was lengthy, so some things we found on our own.Some things that could have been better:- In an effort to follow the instructions in the welcome packet, we ensured all lights and A/C units were off when we left for the day. There was a light in the sitting area we could not find the switch for. We couldn't figure out how to turn off lighting on the master bed headboard which came on automatically. Adding labels would assist in finding what goes to what. - In the master bedroom, the linen needs to be replaced ASAP the fitted sheet had been used too many times been used too many times where the sheets now has beads.- There was the scent of an animal when entering the front and sliding doors. Furniture and/or drapes possibly need odor neutralizing.- Water leaked on the first bathroom floor when showering.- Leaving the gated community at the end of the stay was a little confusing. Possibly because we got an extended stay, but we had to have a resident open the gates so we could depart.Overall, everyone really enjoyed themselves at the property. Excellent for our birthday getaway!

November Family Vacation

The house was in a great location. The property manager Edgar, was great. Check-in went very easy and the house was just as described. We stayed 5 days, 3 of those days the master bedroom was without an air conditioner. Edgar, attempted to get a technician out to repair it and offered to bring out a fan, however the technician didn't show up until the day we were leaving. The overall stay was amazing would definitely recommend and possibly rent again when in the area.

Spacious and comfortable

I traveled with 5 girlfriends to celebrate us turning 50. There were 5 clean, comfortable bedrooms and 3 bathrooms but the best part was the private pool. We spent so many hours lounging around and swimming in that pool! There are a some restaurants within walking distance but we did find that a rental car was necessary to get to the beach and grocery store. The area is very safe and secure.

family trip to San Juan

The property is beautiful and clean with all amenities. I love the location. It's close to the airport and San Juan. It's close to the nearest bus station so we were able to go everywhere without having to spend a lot of money in transportation. Close to two big Supermarkets to either going right or left on the main street. The whole family love it.

Host profile image
My name is Dorota and I am your host. I bought this property in 2016 and I am always working on ways to make it AMAZING for your upcoming stay!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Puerto Rico coming here on business for years! I fell in love with 21 Doncella, because it is spacious, private, and safe. I can have a private Villa close to the water in a quiet residencial area but still be walking distance to all the great touristy things Puerto Rico has to offer.

What makes this property unique

-Huge private lot with your own pool and large outdoor living space.
-Mid Century Modern Design - the best quality houses were built during this time!
-Spacious interior with a mix of indoor-outdoor feel
-1 minute walk from the water front inside the community; 5 minute walk to nearest Isla Verde Beach
-Private residencial area but still walkable to all the action like bars, restaurants, main -beaches of Ocean Park and Isla Verde
-Close to a beautiful city park called Barbosa Park
- Fully equipped with a Kohler Generator System to power the ENTIRE property in case of outages
-SAFE, SAFE, SAFE!
