Vacation Rentals by Owner

Very Positive Experience for our Family

The villa was exactly as described. Well kept and in a great location for our family. We were a family of five - two adults, two teens and a pre-teen - and it was plenty big enough for us. Each of the kids had a comfortable futon for themselves. Having two full bathrooms was a huge plus. Having two decks was a nice touch. Great bonus in having a tremendous villa owner. Beatrice was a pleasure to work with, provided some fantastic tips on restaurants and sights, and was extremely prompt with every communication. Rent with peace of mind here

Fabulous villa and best vacation we had

We debated over staying at a room at the hotel versus renting this villa. It was just my husband and me so we could easily fit in a hotel room, but we wanted the home away from home feeling in our vacation. Once we arrived we were so glad we choose this villa. The villa is so spacious and comfortable, the decor is so charming and the ability to open up the full wall of doors that leads to the different terraces was so nice. We enjoyed every single moment spend at this villa, specially its fabulous terrace. We normally started our day by a breakfast at the villa, a long walk along the beach and then we would return to the villa to read and plan our day activities. We were just so drawn to it. It was so peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. When we woke up each morning we just couldn’t believe how lucky we were. The A/C’s worked perfectly, but we only had them on at night, as during the day we had the villa all open up. The recommendation provided by Beatrice of things to do and restaurants to visit was great. We enjoyed very much Ay Bonito Grill and the views at Richie’s. With her suggestions we did on own the Culebrita day trip and saw turtles and stingrays. It was an amazing trip. Thank you Beatrice for all your help. We will definitely return in a very near future.

Loved the Villa & Puerto Rico

We stayed at the Villa for a week in early March, 2012. First of all, we want to thank Beatrice for the amazing pre-vacation packet that she prepared. We used it as guide for our stay, and it took a lot of the guesswork out of the decision making process. The recommendations were always on target, and they really enhanced our stay. Do not miss the Kiosks! We loved everything: El Yunqui, the waterfalls, the Bio Bay, Vieques, the catamaran snorkeling trip, the beach, and of corse Old San Juan. The Villa is located in one of the top resorts in PR, and grounds are immaculate and well groomed. The beach is great, and the Villa Owners pool is literally like a private pool. The Villa was perfect for us. It is conveniently located, clean, roomy, and we loved sleeping with the patio doors open and hearing the coqui frogs sing to us at night. We will be back.

Villa Beatrice really helped make our visit to Puerto Rico a special experience. The grounds of the condo and resort were beautiful! We couldn't have chosen a better location for close access to the rain forest and the bioluminescent bay. The accommodations in the condo were very beautiful, clean and comfortable. We appreciated the way the condo could be sectioned off for sleeping. The condo is a great deal for the price, location, and accommodations!

Villa Beatrice is a wonderful vacation rental

Villa Beatrice is a wonderful vacation rental to serve as home base for your trip to Puerto Rico. The villa is ideally located minutes from practically anything you will need or want on your trip. My favorite part was the villa's unique location and set up. You get all the perks of the resort (security, beautiful grounds, amenities) without the drawbacks (small accomodations, pricey food, crowded beaches). The fact that the villas have their own pool and beach access (free parking) was enough to seal the deal for me. Does it get anymore relaxing than having literally a quarter mile of beach almost to yourself? Villa Beatrice will be a sure bet if I return to the NE coast of PR.

We stayed at Villa Beatrice from December 25-29, 2010. Firstly, it is well-secured. The entrance to the resort has a guard at all times and the entrance to the Villa is gated. The concierge responded quickly (and pleasantly) when my daughter and I got locked out. It was a great fit for a family of 5, including 3 teen-aged girls. They each had their own futon to sleep on and there were TWO bathrooms-definitely a plus. Everything was clean and neat. The kitchen was well-equipped and there was even a cooler to use to pack lunches for our day trips. The beach at the resort was great, with a bar from which you could order burgers, etc., if you wanted to spend the day there. The Villa is minutes by car from a big grocery store, Walgreens and the Rain Forest Park and about 20 minutes from the bioluminescent bay in Fajardo. Very easy to get to from San Juan. Beatrice herself was helpful and accessible from booking the Villa to answering questions while we were there. This is a great place to stay if you want the security and amenities of a resort that is conveniently located without the cost.

My family enjoyed our stay at Villa Beatrice. The condo was very clean and looked exactly as pictured online. It comfortably fit my husband and I and our 3 teenage girls. The extra bathroom was definitely a plus! The recommendations for dining were excellent. We did experience one problem that was quickly taken care of. I would definitely rent from Beatrice again!

The Villa Beatrice was perfect. It's a great location and there are many things for families to do. The resort is beautiful and safe. We rented a car and went on day trips snorkeling, to El Yunque and to Old San Juan. All the trips were close to the villa. Beatrice also provides very helpful information about the day trips and great local restaurants. I will look forward to another trip to Puerto Rico and would definitely stay at the villa.

Thanks so much for sharing your Villa with our family. We enjoyed a wonderful Easter/Spring break at Rio Mar. The grounds are beautiful & very well maintained. With a family of 6, the Villa was spacious and had everything we needed. Thanks Again!

This villa was everything we were looking for. The owner was polite and available for any questions during the duration of our stay. The resort amenities were amazing. My family thoroughly enjoyed the stay in this villa located within the Rio Mar resort complex. It felt first class all the way. Thank you for the memories and we happily look forward to another future stay.

My husband and I stayed at Villa Beatrice as part of our 25th wedding celebration. We loved the resort, loved the location and LOVED the villa. We had one small problem while there and it was taken care of immediately and very pleasantly. We absolutely would stay at this villa again!

We stayed for a week at Villa Beatrice and had a great visit. We had plenty of space for the 5 of us - kids are 17, 14 and 10. Each kid had their own futon to sleep on and they had their own bathroom. Beatrice's tips on restaurants and things to do were very helpful. Besides places already mentioned, we enjoyed Hacienda Carabali where the guys went horseback riding and the girls went ATV-ing. It was very fun and reasonably priced. We'd also recommend King's Seafood and Brass Cactus restaurants. Great food at both places! Thanks to Beatrice for great lodging and being available to answer our questions.

The villa was great--perhaps it was the time of year, but we pretty much had the beach and pools to ourselves. The location is perfect for a northeast PR visit. The accommodations were handled extremely professionally.

We had a wonderful trip and stay at Villa Beatrice! The resort is lovely and the amenities on resort are terrific. The concierge is a great help, too. The packet you provide has tons of great information and tips that helped us plan our activities during our stay. We especially enjoyed Luquillo Beach and our visit to the rain forest. If you want to go to Flamenco Beach by ferry, you may wish to purchase your tickets in advance. We got there early and still were not able to catch the ferry to Culebra. Oh well, we still had a good time. Thanks again for your hospitality.

We just returned from a wonderful peaceful stay at Villa Beatrice. Villa Beatrice is very private with awesome views of the golf course. We found it to be clean, well kept, and extremely convenient to the awesome rain forest. The golf was superb as was the beach, pool, casino and restaurants. We will be back for another stay soon.

We just returned from a wonderful stay at Villa Beatrice. The Villa was spacious, clean and convenient. My six month old son was traveling with us so having a full kitchen, a lot of space and access to laundry facilities was essential. We ate many of our meals and sipped cocktails out on the patio where we enjoyed warm tropical breezes. We loved the privacy of the Villa owners pool and beach but also enjoyed the hotel pool and beach on a few occasions. We highly recommend taking day trips to El Yunque Rainforest and Old San Juan. Also, be sure to check out the restaurant recommendations that are provided, they are very helpful. Why stay in a stuffy hotel room when you can have a home away from home?! Thanks!

We had the most perfect vacation one could want. Villa Beatrice was everything and more. It was spacious and comfortable as desctibed, the 4 of us could have down time and not run into each other! The concierge was helpful and prompt. The aminities at the Wyndham were excellent. We rented a car and drove everywhere. I would do this again in a heartbeat. A hotel room does not compare even for a moment. And to rent from the hotel? Whew:-) Thanks, Beatrice for the prompt refund...Hope to rent from you again. I will definitely reccommend to my friends and family.

We (family of four) just returned from a fabulous vacation in Puerto Rico. Villa Beatrice is very clean and spacious with 2 large balconies. We rented a car to take in all the sights. Also we used the hotel shuttle to get to the pool and beach. Beach and pool are excellent. This was definitely our best family vacation ever!

Villa Beatrice turned out an excellent choice. With 2 boys (4 and 5) we had a great time, although the golf course is for the future. Access to the resort with all amenities was easy and comfortable (shuttle rides), and then back to the villa vs. a hotel room is priceless. Great villa, nice setup, comfortable, Internet access (cable), playground, parking, great views of the golf course. Easy access to many places to visit. Highlight was a ferry day trip to Vieques, still unspoilt! Thanks Beatrice for you prompt responses to inquiries and great remote service!
