The Front of Our Home at 113c Ext. Kennedy in Dorado, Puerto Rico
Location: Dorado, Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, Caribbean (20 miles west from San Juan Airport)
Accommodations: Home, 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 5-13)
We have two rentals in our home on the ocean. The main floor unit has two bedrooms, full kitchen, one bath, living room, and deck. It can sleep five; two in each of the queen-size beds and one in the twin-size rollaway.
The unit upstairs has one bedroom, living room, full kitchen, one-and-one-half baths, two balconies, and a roof-top terrace. This unit can sleep five; two in the queen-size bed in the bedroom, two in the full-size rollaway, and one in the twin rollaway.
Both units are about 1200 square feet with a private entrance and use of a shared washer and dryer and front porch area. We also have a basement bedroom apartment with a private bath and entrance that has a queen-size bed, a twin bed, TV with a VCR, couches, micro
wave, little fridge, 2 large fans, table & chairs, hair dryer & an
a/c unit-
Our home is not in a resort but in a safe local neighborhood with long-term professional neighbors. We have finished building new steps
down to the beach plus have added a cement bar bq- We are on a 70-foot by 90-foot lot that is fenced. Our managers are a sweet local couple that live nearby.there is a surfer beach a block away plus many, many
other beaches in the area. Hey guys-we are a beach house--not the
Ritz-Please do not expect perfection-We just had a problem with some guests who shopped around for the cheapest vacation home for what we offer in puerto rico-then they got upset that there was a power outage & sometimes low water pressure-sometimes you may not have hot water if there is no sun (solar)-maybe you may hear some construction noise-you might see a bug-you might see some dirt-this is the caribbean-things like this happens-go & pay the price at a hotel if you can't handle an occasional problem-in other words, if you are fussy, you will not like us-we are clean but not spotless-the ocean breeze brings in a lot of dirt-being on the ocean rusts & deteriorates things very quickly-but staying on the ocean is awesome-the sound of the waves lull you to sleep-we are planning on moving to this paradise of puerto rico-there has been some construction started but has been stopped(permit problem)-we just want people to have the proper expectation of our home-
we have a no smoking policy for the comfort of our future guests-
Our home is a ten-minute drive to world-class golf, beautiful hotels, and very central to the island's many tourist attractions-
We have a 7 night minimum & 5 nights if you take both units-we feel
that we are the best value on the island for what we offer-the $100
price is per unit & not for the entire home-if you need to sleep
13, the rate is $250 a night for the whole house-

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
we live in michigan & now retired from selling real estate-someday it would be
wonderful to live in puerto rico-we really love it & the people-we spend our time
with our grandchildren & our 2 dogs & 3 cats-we are very easy to reach so feel free
to contact us with any questions you may have about our property-
Why the Owner Chose Dorado
we had been going to dorado puerto rico for about 20 years for vacations-dorado was always our
best city to stay at as it's so close to san juan without all of the congestion-we always rented
a condo or apartment for a month-a friend told us about this home for sale on the ocean & we just
fell in love with it-we had no idea about turning it into a vacation rental but we had to pay the
bills-we could not believe how it is an 11 month destination & so many people want to go to the
area-we get 3 to 5 inquiries a day-of course we have it priced very fairly & that helps-we don't
want it just sitting there vacant-
The Unique Benefits of this Home
we really love our home & we are sure you will also-we also want you to have a realistic expectation of our home-it is far from perfect-when we are there we are constantly working on it-
the salt water tears a home apart-the big storms will bring water in the windows-our managers are
diligently working to keep the home nice-it will not be spotless (hotel clean)-that's impossible
on the ocean-if you are fussy, please go to a hotel or somewhere more expensive-you will love
being right on the ocean-nothing like it-our neighborhood is really special we feel-there are
roosters a block away-there are horses walking around-there is an iguana in our yard sometimes-

Hi Diana, The trip was great. I love Puerto Rico (I think it's my new second home!) We didn't do a whole lot, but we've been there before. We did find the show on our own and it was right there in Dorado - it must be new. My husband thinks the beach was great. Overall, it was a very relaxing trip, I thank you for the use of your home - it was very comfortable.

Hello Diana, Thank you so much for everything. We had a wonderful vacation. Your home was lovely and it accommodated all our needs. I'm glad to hear that Norma found the house in a nice condition. We did our best to keep the house tidy clean. Thank you again for making our stay and offering your home to us. We look forward to future trips and renting your lovely home again. Also referring your home to our family and friends. Yes we did get an email about the refund, thank you for that. Sorry that it took long to respond, we were just trying to settle back to California. We got so comfortable in Puerto Rico that we didn't want to be back home. Thanks again Diana! We will be in touch!!!

Hello Diana & Al, I'm sorry I really havn't had time to check my emails. I've been cleaning, organizing and getting myself together. It's always hard when you first get back and depression starts setting in. The realization that you're BACK!!! Anyways, yes, just let me know about the gate... And as far as the house, it was just a pleasure to stay in your house. You are not kidding when you mention all the lovely things you do on your website. To be honest, words cant truly depict the beauty of your house. The peace, breeze, and tranquility that is felt every morning is just memorizing and addictive! I want to thank you both for allowing my family and I to take part of such beauty and enjoy our time in Puerto Rico in such=2 0a lovely place. We truly mean that. On behalf of my family we wish you both nothing but happiness. You seem to be a loving couple that enjoy life... THANK YOU. I will be mailing you a letter in the mail so that you can include it in your collection of guest comments you have in PR. Until next time Diana, because I am SURE I will be staying at your home again.

I had to add this....diana Hi, Diana Do you remember me? We spent one amazing week at your house in Dorado last year. (in september 2008) It was the best vacation in my life!! :) and all of my friends agree on that. So this year we would like to return there. Could you drop me few lines if it's still available and if it's not booked for this september. We are not sure about dates yet. Please let me know. I'm looking forward to hear from you again :) Have a nice day!
