Easy access to beach!

Verdaderamente es un apartamento de playa a tan solo pasos, me sentí como en casa, y el trato de Mary y Moises fueron excelentes. Es espacioso para la familia. La área de la piscina es magistral de bella,, la playa es hermosa, mucha seguridad, cuenta con todo lo necesario para habitar en ella.. Esperamos regresar.

If you are looking for an ideal location with the comfort of home, this place is for you. We had a great stay at Moises’s property. It is centrally located for those looking to be away from San Juan, but a 30-40 minute drive to the airport and easy to get to/from places. The villa is fully equipped with all the amenities listed from the kitchen and bathroom, essentials, tv and WiFi along with chairs to bring to the beach. You have the option of going to the property's beautiful pool, or to the beach which is a 5 minute walk away. The additional benefit of being in a gated community and 24/security, and having an assigned parking spot right in front of the villa was great. And lastly the wonderful hospitality of Moises neighbor Mari who was there to greet us upon our arrival and departure. She even went out of her way to find and give my mom seashells she was looking for. Mari, gracias por las hermosas conchas que encontraste para mi mamá. Por último, gracias a Moisés por recibirnos.

Our family (3 adults, 1 child and1 infant) stayed in this house for about 2-3 weeks. The place is spacious, the kitchen is full and well equiped, the bathrooms are excellent and the master suite is very comfortable. Safety in Villas de Playa II is also very good, and the house is 5 minutes walking from the beach. Negative aspects: a) Privacy: if you have neighbors (especially on the weekends) you will hear EVERYTHING across the balcony and walls. Forget about peace and privacy. b) Cleanliness: Most units in the villa are unoccupied and not very well-maintained. Pigeons, cats and stray dogs have taken over the place. I had to clean dog poop from our front door every morning. The windows in the bedrooms are locked because the pigeons have taken over the small balconies on the second and third floors. c) Mosquitos: There is a dirty lake in the middle of the Villa. Bring your bug repellant.

I’m a Puerto Rican living in the US looking for a beach house at a good value. Nothing beats the value of staying at Moises’ villa at Dorado del Mar, Villas de Playa II. Just FYI, the VRBO map locates the villa one street north of where it actually is. I noticed this before getting there (so it didn’t come up as a surprise), as Moises established a great dialogue with me from the time I started shopping for a beach rental until after I left the villa..! Moises was an excellent host, super flexible and accommodating to my changing needs (which were many..!) The villa is very comfortable, the A/C in the bedrooms is nice and cool, and the 3rd floor master suite feels like the “top of the world”. The ground floor with dining and living areas is spacious for a families of 4 to 6, plus visitors, especially as we overflow to the back terrace facing the common garden that leads to the beach. Sometimes we’d bring the chairs out and hang out there feeling the beach breeze. The beach is like a 3 minute walk from the villa. The dining area was nicely set up, however the back terrace also has a dining table that fits 4-6, so we had all our meals comfortably there. Also, the kitchen is fully equipped, so we either cooked, or ordered food from the many places within a 1-2 mile radius. In addition to having Moises available a phone call away, his neighbor Mari from a few doors down was also attentive to any of our needs or questions. We had to check out on an early morning, so she was super helpful for turning in the keys and beepers, and “beeping” us out of the gated community. The community is super safe and constantly patrolled. I initially selected that villa imagining my kids roaming around the common garden and the “resorty” grounds. (My kids didn’t end up going, but I did see other kids roaming the garden :) In the end, thanks Moises, it was an awesome stay, hope to be back.

N/C

I loved staying at Moises’s and Maritza’s property. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet! Great location in Dorado of you want to be close to the beach or San Juan.

The property was very clean, well equipped and very secure.

We had a very enjoyable family vacation (5 adults) at this Villa de Playa II property, and Moises was an excellent owner/host. The condo itself is very nice, with beautiful bathrooms, nice bedrooms with A/C, a very well-stocked kitchen, and a nice family room and covered porch. The WiFi and streaming media TV worked well for late night relaxing. Getting to and from the property is slightly hampered by many speed bumps and property security fences, but it is comforting to be in such a secure neighborhood. Plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby are nice. Short walk to the beach and a clean, fresh-water community pool. We highly recommend this property if you are looking for a relaxing stay in PR.

Moises made our stay very easy and was available for questions. The location was very convenient for our trips to various sites and we enjoyed the nearby beach bars and restaurants. His home was comfortable, secure and clean. We recommend this listing and hope to return ourselves.

I stayed at Moisés's place for 5 nights with my two children. We all liked the place very much. It had everything we hoped for: a fully equipped kitchen, laundry machine and dryer, a beautiful queen bed room, two other bedrooms with bunk beds, a terrasse with a dining table, air-conditioning in the bedrooms, several fans in the living room, big tv and wifi that worked in all three floors. The place was very clean and everything worked well. We parked the car right in front of the apartment, not that we needed it very much: the beach was just a one or two minute walk away and there was also a very nice pool we spent a lot of time in. The neighborhood was calm and safe, we didn't need to worry about anything. Moisés was a very friendly host and communication with him was easy. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes to feel at home in a vacation home.

Great and high secure location. Do not be in puerto rico with out a car. Moisés is a fantastic host and gave us good response and help during our stay. You will love this place close to two beaches. 2 and 7 minutes walk.

This property while being an older building was very comfortable and quiet. The complex is right across the beach, and it has a pool as well. The pool was clean and if you have kids (toddler aged) they will enjoy the kids pool. The condo is located next to the Dorado Embassy Suites. At the entrance for the residential area there is a gate. You will get an opener with the house keys for that gate and then another one for the parking area at the condo. This makes the coming and going much easier! My family tried three beaches near the condo ( across the street, the Dorado Public Beach or balneario, and the Cerro Gordo balneario) all of them different and unique in their own way. We went during the Christmas season so the beaches were not crowded during this season. We used Google maps to get everywhere and it worked! For grocery shopping try searching for Amigo instead of the Supermax that is five minutes away. Their produce is better quality. I always got fresh baked bread every morning! It took maybe about 15 minutes round trip. The rooms all have A/C and you the two and a half bathrooms. The half bathroom is right next to the front door. That was great to have since we were traveling with our son, who is a toddler. Moises is very accommodating and he will promptly answer any and all questions to make your stay go smoothly! I agree with a past reviewer that this condo is a good place to travel from to the rest of the Island. We truly enjoyed our stay at Moises home! Gracias Moises por todo!Isa Y.

Moisés is a wonderful, trustworthy and excellent host. His communication skills are superb and he was incredibly helpful. He did his very best to make sure that we were prepared to optimize our stay in Puerto Rico. The villa is clean, safe and well-maintained. The grounds are secure and the pool is very clean. Neighbors are friendly and quiet. Nearby, there are a nice set of beaches and fun restaurants with a bustling night life. Dorado, itself, makes a great launching point for excursions either to the east towards San Juan or to the west towards Rincon and the beautiful beaches of Aguadilla. If you are planning to maximize your stay in Puerto Rico then this rental in Dorado is a great choice and a wonderful place to call home base. Additionally, Moisés can provide great insight into the sights, sounds and flavors of Puerto Rico.

The facility was a little dated. The villa was very nice and well kept. The owner was very accommodating. The location is great. I would recommend to anyone interested. I plan on rescheduling the next time I plan a trip to Puerto Rico.

My husband and I rented Moisess villa for a long-term stay this winter. It was very comfortable and fully equipped. The sun porch off the master bedroom provided a quiet getaway for reading. The kitchen was well equipped, and it was nice to have a washer and drier. The villa complex is an older area, and while some of the individual units need care, Moisess property was clean and well maintained and Mosies was available to answer questions. When one of the air conditioner units stopped working, repairmen were sent immediately. Excellent customer service! The grounds were constantly maintained, and the pool was wonderful! The beach was very handy (and nice). I felt quite safe being in the complex by myself when my husband travelled back and forth for work. The private security guards were present on the property at all hours. We enjoyed the ease with which we could get to Old San Juan by taking the ferry at Catana. The beach restaurants/bars were fun to go to, and I appreciated having a modern grocery store within a few minutes drive. Also, having Walgreens and CVS nearby was handy. There is so much to see and do in Puerto Rico. Dorado was very convenient as a home base and Moisess villa was an excellent choice. We hope to go back to the Dorado area and will certainly rent the villa again if it is available.

The owners villa was clean and well maintained. The owner was nice and ewdy to help with any questions. The place was also safe because of the gated community and guard patrols. The kitchen was well equipped as well as the bathrooms, cooking supplies, dishes, towels, etc.... Beach was within walking distance. We loved the pool. We went to San Juan on a daily basis so we did not eat near the villa. The only place we went to near the villa was a beauty shop next to a Sallys Beauty store in front of a Burger King. DO NOT go there. In my opinion, the ladies did not know what they were doing and they charged an arm and a leg because the owner saw we were tourists. They quoted me a price before we sat down (2 children and I) and then they doubled it at the end. Paid $335.00 for simple hair styles for a wedding. Recommend villa but not shops around there.

The property was spacious, well kept and fully stocked (soup to nuts). One of the features we enjoyed and took advantage of was being close to where the local fisherman sell their day's catch. We spent the day at the beach and then purchased / cooked a 7 lb. lobster. The location is ideal; close to San Juan, Condado and not far from El Yunque, Luqillo and Rio Grande. It was a perfect family vacation! Thank you, Moises, for the orientation and for having such a lovely place. I look forward to future trips and hopefully, you will still have your place available to rent.

My husband and I and our 3 young adult children spent Christmas week at Moises' Dorado condo. The unit was just as pictured, nicely furnished with 3 bedrooms, 2 with bunk beds and 1 with queen bed - be aware that it is three floors with the master bed and bath on the third floor - not a problem for us as we were happy to get the added exercise. The balcony off the master suite was the best place in the condo! It is in an older gated community and does show it's age some - this is not a shiny, new condo. But it was very clean and we had everything we needed including new appliances (loved the French press), travel mugs, containers, beach towels and even a cooler. There were not many people around and several units were abandoned and in severe disrepair. However, the grounds were well maintained and the pool was fabulous. You will have one key and one car remote so all coming and going needs to be well coordinated since you need the key to lock and unlock the condo, enter or leave the pool and enter or leave the communities locked gates. We walked to the Dorado Beach everyday, past lively bars and restaurants with lots of people hanging around and enjoying themselves. The park was very comfortable and safe with joggers and families always present. We usually walked 10 minutes west towards the Ritz Carlton property where the beach was cleared and more deserted. No jellyfish, some seaweed, no undertow and small waves - enough to body surf or boggie board. We had a car and spent a day at the beautiful Loquillo and Farjado beaches, a morning at Old San Juan, a morning in El Yunke zip-lining and a full day driving all the way around the west side of the island - Jobos Beach was fantastic, rented a surf board for several hours, and snorkeled and swam in the Bio Bay in Parguera. The grocery store and pharmacy were 10 minutes away, right near the community entrance. Since we wanted to see several places on the island, the central location of Dorado worked well for us. Make sure you have a current road map of the island - driving was very challenging with extremely poor signage and lots of traffic around San Juan. Moises was a wonderful host - very helpful and accommodating. He allowed us to arrive a night early due to travel plans, even meeting us at the condo at 2:00am. We had some problems with the Wi-fi which he took care of very quickly. He was very helpful with information about the area, too. We would definitely recommend renting from Moises to anyone.

The property was clean & well maintained. Except The bathtubs could use a really good scrub down. The amenities were perfect, the kitchen was well equip, they were plenty of towels for all, including pool towels. The porch was perfect to relax after a long day of touring the island. The property is close to lots of good restaurants, shopping, beach and not far from the metropolitan area.....Can't forget the casino. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. The owner Moises was very helpful and pleasant. Thank you again Moises.

Si quieres descansar y alejarte del ruido te recomiendo esta propiedad.Las facilidades son muy buenas tienes la piscina bien cerca de la propiedad al igual que la playa esta al cruzar la calle.Te recomiendo la playa que esta al lado del balneario ya que es mas grande y no tiene tantas piedras. La propiedad esta muy bien equipada, la pasamos muy bien. Hay de todo muy cerca del sitio tales como restaurantes,supermercados,cines en fin de todo. Moises fue muy atento con nosotros y estuvo siempre pendiente a cualquier necesidad. Gracias y pensamos volver en otra oportunidad...

Esta Villa fue maravillosa. Como estar en su casa a lo lejos. La playa esta bien cerca y el dueno nos atendio maravillosamente, la recomiendo y volveria a quedarme alli de nuevo.

This was an excellent place to stay, the owner was very attentive and helpful. He provided excellent service. The villa was like being home and we had the beach really close. Would recommend staying here again.

We rented this apartment in February 2012. There were five of us including a 17 years old young man. The apartment was clean, comfortable and cozy. Everything was functional: the stove worked well, the fridge was big enough to store all our food we bought in the grocery store near by, the air conditioner worked well, we used a coffee maker every morning. The kitchen was well equipped. We washed and dried our clothes a few times (there was no detergent, you need to buy it yourself,). There was a full service of Internet and TV. It was comfortable to sleep in our bedrooms, one had a cute balcony on the third floor, another two have a bank bed. Just the shower on the second floor needs some upgrade. The owner took a good care of us, answered quickly to every question, helped us to plan our trips, directed us to the right place all the time. A big plus is that the owner speaks a good English. The place is inside a gated community, safe and not noisy at this time. We were provided with one key, and it was hard to manage for us. We asked about another key, and Moisés found it for us very quickly, but it was for an extra fee. The beach was across the street, but we preffered to walk 10 minutes to the left to the beautiful white sand beach where we were almost alone. We didn't go to the restaurants much (there were a few near the beach), we cooked at home and ate outside in the terrace with a nice fresh air. To buy fresh fish in the Fish Market just across the street from our apartment was awesome! We definitely recommend this property to a family or group of friends.

We had invited friends of ours with their two daughters so in all with our 10 years old boy we were 7 in all. This Villa is an excellent choice for people with kids, or for couples to have a romantic getaway. The place is very well kept, furnished as it has everything you need. The place has 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths, (one in the Master bedroom in the 3rd floor, and another in a bedroom in the 2nd floor). The only thing to consider is that people need to be able to walk up the stairs, so probably not a suitable option for the elderly. It has a complete kitchen with stovetop and microwave,utensils, plates and most of the basics for preparing food for everybody. It also has a clothes washer and dryer, very convenient for your stay. Next to the kitchen is a dinner table for four and then a family room nicely equipped with TV, Blue Ray/DVD and a Bose sound system. Then there is a very nice Porch with a patio table where you can also entertain your friends and/or sit down to eat. The porch is very relaxing as it has a nice view to the common lawn area, where the kids can play with relaxed supervision. It also has a parking spot almost in front of the Villa, just a few steps from the entrance door. The Villa has a very nice swimming pool, and what I liked most was that it was not crowded at all. We also walked to the beach which is just 10 minutes away. The place has many green areas where you can either walk or do some jogging. Close to the Villa there are a few shopping malls that include grocery stores, and movie theatres. Close by are also fast food restaurants and even fine sit down restaurants. This place is a very centric area, close to many tourist attractions in the North area of the island. We even went to the world famous Bacardi Rum distillery, and we even learned that the tour is free and they even give you 2 coctails per person on the house ! In Summary, when you compare prices of this Villa with nearby hotels, this is an excellent option.

The house was spacious & clean, with many amenities. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. As a family of seven (2 adults & 5 children), we need a lot of space & this house provided it. Our kids were able to play in the back yard & we could watch them from the back porch or living room. The pool was huge and clean, with ample space and chairs around it. Close by were many stores & restaurants. There was a small beach across the street from the unit and 5 minutes away was one of Puerto Rico's government maintained beach (Cerro Gordo) that was great. Although we went to Puerto Rico to sight-see & visit family, the complex that the townhouse was in provided us with a lot to do on days we felt like relaxing. The house is in the perfect spot if you want to do some sight-seeing on the island. It is about 25 minutes from San Juan and the Bacardi Factory. We also made some day trips to the west coast, the east coast & the center of the island. Some great restaurants around the house were Pico Rico BBQ, Vacachon & (in San Juan) Metropol. The owners went above & beyond to make sure that we were safe & happy during our stay (including calling to warn about a tropical storm & several times times during the storm to make sure we were ok). Overall, we were extremely happy with the quality of the property & would recommend it to anyone. It was a wonderful home base for a great family vacation.
