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!

Not just saying this - BEST Host I've Ever worked with
I have only good things to say about my 5 day stay here and I would most certainly do it again / recommend others to do so. House: The house was beautiful and had an incredible view of the ocean. The porch was accommodating for a large group of people to enjoy and my friends and I spent quite a bit of time out here grilling and smoking cigars and just having a great time. We were a very short walk to beach access, which was definitely a huge bonus. Rooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. We had every utensil, appliance, cookware, etc. that we needed to make ourselves at home. With multiple common areas, the large group of us we comfortable in staying as a group and playing games or splitting off into 2 separate groups doing 2 separate activities comfortably. Host: The preparation and attention to detail from the host was on another level. The house included the most robust first aid kit I've ever seen (which we had to use and were glad to have it). There was a basket of business cards and brochures of different resources for us to use during our stay here. There is a large game selection in the closet, and a beautiful Chinese checkers table in the living room. Never did I think I would see the day that, at a bachelor party, Chinese checkers would be the main attraction. Diane was very communicative and ready to help with ANYTHING at all times during our stay. We spent the most of our trip at the house (which was not the plan) because it was so amazing. Thanks!

Home in Paradise
Traveled to Puerto Rico with 9 family members for Spring Break and this was the perfect house for all of our needs. Fantastic location in Dorado and an easy drive from San Juan. The house has such incredible views and multiple decks to enjoy them from. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs and a lovely living room. Large sundeck accessible from the living room and two of the bedrooms. One bedroom even has a shower located outside. It’s the only place you can get a tan while showering! Downstairs has one large master bedroom off the front entry. It has a large kitchen with a breakfast nook and a small room off the kitchen with additional space for meal prep. The refrigerator was well stocked with condiments and even some wine and beer from prior guests. Dining room seats 8 easily or even 10 if needed. Living room opens out to a massive deck with plenty of furniture for the entire family. There’s even a bar with a refrigerator just off the dining room. This house was very well stocked for all of our needs and especially well stocked for the beach, which was an easy walk down the stairs just off the driveway. We had plenty of towels, beach chairs, a couple of blow up floating lounge chairs, a kayak, paddle board and even snorkeling equipment. The tide pools just below the house were fun to explore. Diane, the owner, was amazing. She was very communicative, made us feel like family and responded to every question we had. Will definitely return to Puerto Rico and this beautiful home.

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!

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!

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!

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.

A Gem of a VRBO That You’ll Never Want to Leave
Our group of 11 was blown away by this property. The views from the 2 levels of decks were incredible. The wide variety of high-quality outdoor furniture made both decks favorite spots. The owner took great care to add personal touches throughout including stocked showers, amble beach towels, coolers, guidebooks & maps and more. The house, which is in a gated community with 24-hour security, boasts a living room with gorgeous views with plenty of seating and a well-stocked kitchen. Common areas on both levels have their own efficient mini splits as well as one in each bedroom. The free-standing bar and extra full-size fridge were also a plus. The “secret” half bath, with its’ access from the outdoors, made it very convenient to use when enjoying the outdoors. The house located just a short walk from the private access to the beach was even closer than we anticipated. The gate was conveniently locked and unlocked each day by security, but our own key was also available. Although the beach is shared by the gated community, most days it was secluded. We were lucky enough to see 3 manatees just a few feet from shore one afternoon! We had the privilege of meeting Diane, and she is just as lovely, warm and welcoming as her home. She was out of the country for part of our stay but remained in contact with me for any questions and had her friend, Debbie, available if needed. We’d definitely recommend this VRBO for anyone seeking a superior vacation rental in the Dorado area.

A Slice of Paradise
Let's start with the house. The views are SPECTACULAR - right on the ocean. The waves crashing against the shore is a sight to behold from the two expansive balconies. The house is so well thought out with more than ample space for entertaining. There were games in the closet which we used and had a lot of fun doing. There were plenty of beach towels and a lot of beach gear available that we did not use but had access to. The house is literally several steps from the beach. The house itself is elevated, so provides beautiful views and the walk down to the private beach (shared with others in the area) is maybe 20 steps away. Diane, the owner, provided numerous recommendations of things to do and places to see. This is a home you could just rent and stay at all week as it is peaceful and beautiful. The beach, on Memorial Day weekend, was not crowded. The only "busy" day was Sunday with maybe 20 people on the beach. On Friday and Saturday, we were alone on the beach. The water temp is perfect. If you've ever thought about visiting Puerto Rico but have not taken the plunge - dive into this VRBO as it is a homerun that you will make treasured memories at with your family and friends. Did I mention the place is immaculately cared for and so clean. Worth every penny and I would love to go back to Puerto Rico and rent this home again.

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.

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.
