WE HAVE VERY STRICT CLEANING PROTOCOLS IN PLACE. WE USE PREMIUM DISINFECTANTS AND CLEANING PRODUCTS TO CLEAN THIS PROPERTY. I PERSONALLY SUPERVISE THE HIRED MAID SERVICES TO ENSURE THEY COMPLY WITH OUR CLEANING PROCEDURES.
MY PARTNER DOES THE POOL CLEANING HIMSELF AS HE IS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE POOL SERVICE PROVIDED BY COMPANIES THAT VISIT AT LEAST 8 HOUSES A DAY.
WE ARE NOT SKIMPING IN CLEANING CHEMICALS. WE MEASURE MUCH MORE THAN THE POOL PH, ACID AND CHLORINE LEVELS EVERY TIME THE POOL IS SERVICED. PERIODICALLY, WE TAKE THE SAMPLES OF THE WATER FOR A MORE COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS.

DORADO DEL MAR
Casa Playa Dorado is situated in the gated resort community of Dorado del Mar. The resort grounds have two beaches, tennis courts, and a basketball court. The community also has a golf course (which is scheduled to reopen in 2020 after concluding with repairs from Hurricane María). Wide streets and well-kept sidewalks make it perfect for jogging. The house is strategically located near the main gate, three blocks from the tennis courts, and a 2-minute car ride from the nearest beaches.
Soak up some sunshine, listen to the waves crashing, and enjoy beautiful sunsets in the two beaches that lie within the resort. The first, located right in front of Dorado del Mar, is lined with palm trees and protected by a natural reef. The second beach, located in the Embassy Suites, can be enjoyed free of charge (if you walk from a designated path).
DORADO/THINGS TO DO
Founded in 1842, the picturesque town of Dorado is emblematic of Puerto Rico’s cultural diversity. Its mixture of Spanish heritage and a presence of residents originating from the U.S. mainland brings vibrancy and dynamism to the community. Additionally, Dorado is widely regarded as one of the island’s prime beach towns.
The lively public beach, Balneario Manuel Morales, is adjacent to Dorado del Mar's beach, and is less than 5 minutes by car from the main gate. You can rent a kayak and take it for a spin around the gorgeous blue waters. If you’re hungry, indulge delicious tropical drinks and famous local cuisine in beachside open-air kiosks and restaurants. The establishments near the beach are perfect spots to "chinchorrear", the local term for hanging out. Have a culinary experience by savoring Puerto Rican eats by the beach, such as fried fritters, fresh seafood, "mofongo", piña coladas, "alcapurrias", and "empanadillas".
When going out for dinner, try the diverse cuisine Dorado has to offer. Just minutes away from the main gate lies a treasure trove of restaurants, bars, and outdoor establishments that cater to a variety of tastes. From traditional Puerto Rican dishes and Cuban-style food to Mexican cantinas, Chinese food, Sushi, food trucks, Spanish tapas, teppanyaki, bistros and refined Italian dining, Dorado’s vast culinary scene will satiate your desires.
Dorado and other nearby towns are home to golf courses. (More information is provided in the home's welcome book)
Additionally, if you’re looking to dance and sing to Caribbean rhythms (such as salsa and merengue), the Embassy Suites hotel frequently hosts live music on Fridays and Saturdays.

Maria’s home was outstanding. It had everything we needed. The local beaches were great and the pool was an added plus. Maria was the most responsive host I’ve ever dealt with on a home booking sites.

Fully stocked, very accommodating with gorgeous patio and pool! We had wonderful meals on the patio cooking at home, pool was very clean and perfect temp for hot days! Owner was very communicative.
We had a great stay at Maria’s place. The house was clean and was stocked with everything we needed for cooking in. The pool in the backyard was the perfect touch, our kids loved it. Maria was great with communication & had great recommendations for beaches and food places to check out.
The house is exactly like the photo, very spacious and clean. The location is close to everything, beaches, restaurants and shops. Maria was a great host, checking on us constantly. Nos encanto nuestra estadia, mil gracias por todo.
Our family loved this house! It was perfect for our family of four - the location, the decor, the space and the pool! All amazing! Maria was timely and so helpful in her communications. We were so pleased and would definitely return again!
Great place to relax and enjoy with family and friends. Easy access for seniors. The pool was cleaned and comfortable. We spent most of the time in the terrace enjoying the weather. The bedrooms were spacious and the house included plenty of everything: games, towels, shampoo, cleaning detergents, bags.
My family and I just returned from enjoyable and relaxing stay at Dotado Beach house.
The location was perfect, safe and relaxing.
This house was comfortable and clean to my standards (that’s a lot to say)!
Our host Maria was responsive when I had questions and was super nice to work with. Well done!
Convenient location, and fabulous time. Property has 24-hour security that drives around the gated community. Check-in/out instructions were easy to follow. Upon arrival we were a bit confused about which gate to drive through. However, once we figured it out, entering and exiting the property was simple.
This is my second time staying here I would stay here again ! Maria is an incredible host, she answers back super quick. The home is gorgeous! My kids enjoyed everything about it. The neighborhood is beautiful and the pool is simply so relaxing. My favorite part is definitely sitting outside in the back with the beautiful palm trees surrounding me and my kids playing in the pool. Maria thank you for being amazing ! I definitely recommend!!!
This property was perfect for our family vacation. The property is in a great location, only minutes away from Beaches, restaurants, supermarket, casino. Only 30 mins away from San Juan. Maria is a great host, very responsive and has great information about the local area. I would recommend the beach right outside the development, it has restaurant/bars on the beach. The house is a lot bigger than it shows in the pictures. We used the pool everyday, nice big patio with plenty of chairs. I would not hesitate booking this home again. Muchas gracias Maria
We had an amazing trip to PR! This home was exactly what we needed! It was so peaceful after a full day of adventure! The pool made a great place to cool down and enjoy the ocean breeze the stars and the nature sounds! At night it was so quiet and brought exactly the peace we needed! The owner is great at communication and keeps the home clean! Maria leaves a cute book out for notes from previous guest, adorable! This house is in great location near food and beaches! Nice and cool inside and enough room for families to enjoy! Your family won’t regret the stay!
My family and I had a wonderful time at Maria’s Beautiful Beach House. Everything was near by beach, 24 hours Supermarket, Restaurants, bowling alley and many other places. The house is amazing! Private pool, grill, outdoor shaded seating area, 5 air conditioning units, comfortable beds, 2 televisions, work station, two living rooms and dining area. Kitchen could use some upgrades but has everything you need. I would definitely recommend this house and will certainly return:))
Thank you Maria for sharing your beautiful house with us 🙏❤️
It has been awhile since our family of 4 siblings, has been able to get together due to a number of issues. We finally set the date and picked this beautiful house as our getaway haven. It was clean and fully packed with everything you can think of like towels & kitchen ware. As most comments here, Maria was great supplying information about the neighbohood and it’s gorgeous beaches near by. We all enjoyed it and will always remember our priceless bonding time together and I think you will too!
The house is very spacious and convenient to many locations. The beaches located near the property are nice, and the recommendations by the owner on other beaches are spot on. Would definitely recommend this property!
I wanted to share my positive experience with this house rental in Puerto Rico. The inviting pool was a significant highlight, providing a refreshing escape. Furthermore, the surrounding area offered a beautiful and enjoyable atmosphere. Fortunately, the solar panels proved invaluable during a power outage, ensuring comfort. Overall, it was a truly memorable and positive experience.
This trip was incredibly special for my family of eight. Traveling from California- It was my first time visiting Puerto Rico to see where my parents are from, and having my kids and my mom with me made it unforgettable. The house was absolutely perfect—spacious, clean, and equipped with everything we needed. The location couldn’t have been better, and the two bathrooms and large living space made it comfortable for all of us. The backyard pool was the cherry on top, and Maria was such a wonderful, welcoming host. I highly recommend this home for its location, safety, comfort, and hospitality. ¡Gracias, Maria!
Maria is a wonderful host. The home was better than we anticipated and very clean. We frequently visit Dorado and the location of the house is close to all the local amenities that the area has to offer. We will definitely be back again. My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience from VRBO.
Can’t thank Maria enough for sharing her beautiful, adorable home with us. This was our first visit to Puerto Rico and the location was perfect. She responded so quickly when we asked for recommendations or assistance. Our family made memories to last a lifetime. Thank you again!
We had an amazing time!! The house is located in a very quiet gated community close to everything. The beach is less than a 5 min drive down the same street. We loved the pool area which felt like a private resort with plenty of space, seating and an outdoor half bath. The house was very clean and spacious. Maria is great host and made sure we had a great stay, great communication!! We will definitely book again plus check out her other beautiful property in the mountains.
Had a great time! I was only not happy with the pool guy randomly showing up as we were by the pool on our last morning and didn't know he was coming until I saw a last minute text. Didn't have my phone on me at the moment...
Otherwise it was a great experience.
