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-

      Al and Diana, Puerto Rico was one of the best vacations we have ever been on. We explored most of the island and Vieques. We did not have enough time to see all the things we wanted to and I suppose we will have to go back. Everything we did the kids said that was there favorite thing. Yesterday we swam in the rainforest and that was such a great experience. When we went to Vieques we were only planning on spending the Afternoon, but the kids wanted to stay longer so I searched high and low for a room and we ended up renting 2 rooms from a police officer about 2 blocks from the beach. We put his phone number in the book. We went to the bioluminecsent bay and there was no moon so it really lit up, that should be on everyones bucket list. Once again thanks for sharing your home with us.

    • We just got back from our third visit to Al and Diana's beach house in Dorado.The house is so well furnished. We only had to add food to start our Puerto Rican vacation. We enjoyed the short drive to Catano and taking the ferry (for 25 cents) to Old San Jaun. For the true hospitily of the local neighborhood,you can't beat a sidewallk meal at La Gloria de Kikita. It's just a block away past the surfer beach. What's not to love about this tropical paradise?

      Thanks so much Diana. We had a wonderful time--Dorado is a gem of a town and your house was great fun. Oscar loved exploring the nearby Kikita beach for its volcanic rock formations and tidal pools. Your recommendations for places to go were superb. And of course--the dogs Bambi, Jackie and the ever-elusive Rex were a pleasure to be with. Take care,
