You can stop your search now! THIS is the villa to rent.
I just stayed at the villa Aug 14-20th 2009 with my family (6 adults) and we just LOVED it. You have everything you need. Location, LOT'S of space (very neat and clean), beaches, everything you'd have at home (coffee maker, towels, soap, washer/dryer, pots/pans, grill, the list goes on) but on vacation! There's a grocery store, Walgreens, plenty of cute (and delicious) restaurants, local shops nearby...it makes relaxing in beautiful Puerto Rico quite easy and worry free.
There are books about the history/attractions of Puerto Rico, favorite restaurants, etc. You will have no problem keeping busy while on your vacation!
The renter is very efficient. She got back to me promptly...I recieved the keys, directions, etc very quickly and had NO problems whatsoever. I would recommend this villa to everyone.
You will love/enjoy your stay! Trust me. Your search is over!
Thanks for everything! It was truly a vacation I'll never forget. Glad my family and I got to share our special memories in your beautiful villa. Looking forward to a next time...
-Valery

| We rented Villa #98 at Dorado del Mar in May 2009 we were a party of 10 for a Mother's Day/Birthday Party vacation. We traveled from Massachusett, Connecticut, Ohio, Illinois and Florida. We were very please to find the Villa to be beautiful and comfortable with it's 3 terraces and a patio on the 1st floor, 4 big and airy bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and 4 1/2 bathrooms. Pharmacys, Groceries stores, restaurants and anything you could possibly need were within 5 minutes distance. We had daily breakfast at the Villa and it was hard to get the group going since everyone was so relax and happy sipping coffee at the patio or laying in the morning sun in one of the terraces or just enjoying the scenery of many birds, flowers and the golfers going by. We walked to the Embassy Suite and splash in the pool and the beach, some of us had lunch at their outdoor grill. It was fun! We purchased a Mothers Day/Birthday cake at "Sweet Ann Cakes" it was beautiful and delicious. We also used their wireless internet service. We drove to San Juan where we sight seeing and did some shopping. We visited the "Botello Art Gallery" my sister was in heaven. Later we had Happy Hour at "El Patio De Sam" bar and restaurant (great time. We had dinner at "Metropol" in Isla Verde and later on we went to "Señor Frog" a lively and happy place but not my crowd (age). In our 2nd. visit to San Juan we had dinner at "Ostra Cosa" (loved it) and for coffee and desset we went to a nearby restaurant where the admosphere was excellent but I can't recall the name, it was on "Cristo" street.In puerto Rico no-one rushes you out of a restaurant after you finish your meal, you can hang around all you want. Our group was big and diverse in age so we rented 2 cars and we went separate ways at times depending on interest. My husband played golf, my sister and I took a nice walk along the car path. We enjoy our vacation so much at this beautiful Villa and I recommend it very highly. Thanks Madeline and Richard. |

Christmas break at Villa de golf 98

Review Submitted: January 04, 2009Date of Stay: December, 2008
We just returned from a wonderful week at this Villa. There were 8 of us in all. We had 3 couples, my mom who is 79yrs and a 17 yr old. My son slept on the couch which gave him a comfortable bed. The rest of us each had a bedroom with a bath. Each room has an air conditioner which we ran only at night. We would have been able to go without air but the birds are very lively at night as well as the frogs. I am sure if we stayed longer we would have learned to sleep through their singing. The property was cleaned and well maintained. The owners sent us directions, keys, lists of local restaurants, location of grocery stores, medical facilities, which one of our group used. and a list of people to use at the gates. There are two gates that have attendants that you must pass through to get to the villa. There is lots of information about attractions on the island. The villa is very nicely decorated. We used the kitchen for breakfast and a few dinners. We loved the beach behind the Embassy suites which was a quick walk. We enjoyed the outdoor grill and bar there as well. There are beach chairs in the garage as well as toys if you have little ones. We loved the La drilla resturant. We also had very good food at Morena but it was freezing in the resturant and we were not wearing warm clothing . The service was very slow. The food was very good. We found Sweet Anne Cakes on the second to last day. It was a good thing we did not find it sooner as we would have gained 10 lbs. They have wireless internet as well. We shopped at the local grocery store Grande and Walgreens. We drove easily to Rincon for the beaches one day. Snorkeling was great at Steps. We drove East the following day to El Yunke and enjoyed freezing water falls and a beautiful walk.We Kayaked on on Fajardo Bio Bay with the Yokahu Kayak Trips with Menolo and Cesar. It was a little confusing driving around Fajardo and finding the kayak tours but we really enjoyed it! The beach near here is laquillo and it is lovely. We also went to local beaches but they were closed on Mon and Tuesday. We still went but there are no bathrooms. We returned to Embassy suites beach several times. We could have explored the island for weeks. We also explored San Juan two days. We also saw the fort, ST John the Baptist church and enjoyed the beautiful buildings. I would highly recommend this Villa. We liked that it was halfway between either side of the island. If you go, ENJOY!

We had a splendid time. The resort and the house are wonderful. You have taken the time to design the house for comfort and convenience. There were other houses available for rent but your design was the selling point.
The weather was great, the beach was a joy to behold and our family was together at a lovely location.

| We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely, comfortable, convenient condo. Our group consisted of our daughter, son-in-law, our grandchildren, and our 19 year old daughter,and 23 year old son. A very diverse age group and there was something for everyone. We played golf, swam in the pool and ocean and traveled all over Puerto Rico. Thank you for a wonderful time. |

We were a group of 24 persons, 8 of us stayed at that property. My first impression is that the owner is a wonderfull person, she helped us with everything, she gave us informations about other properties ( we needed a place for 24 persons and that is not a joke). I would like to thank her again and she is wellcome at my place in case visitnig Slovenia in Europe.

Just returned from our stay 6/30-7/5. There were 8 adults with space to spare. From the well-appointed kitchen to the terraces and patio you could not ask for more. The villa is inviting and very cozy. You will feel at home.

This is by far the best equiped vacation rental I have ever seen. Not only were the linens, dishes and cookware plentiful and attractive, but all of the paper goods and cleaning and laundry products were fully stocked. In addition, the owners and previous guests had left an abundance of restaurant and sight-seeing suggestions.
Our family of five adults thoroughly enjoyed every day of our stay. We discovered the propane tank to be almost empty and it was immediately filled for us when we called to ask where to find propane. We most heartily recommend this villa. |

In addition to my wife, five young ladies (our daughter and 4 girlfriends, about 24 years old, nurses and teachers from Dallas) stayed with us for 1 week in this townhome in mid-January, 2007. They very much enjoyed the beach and pool facilities at the Embassy Suites while my wife and I relaxed at the condo.
This is a beautiful facility---extremely spacious, tastefully and comfortably furnished. Great location to get some exercise... I quickly measured out a 3-mile path around the golf course to get in some jogging and walking. The golf course is literally steps away from the back door. It was very nice to enjoy the outdoors while Austin and most of Texas were iced in.
We enjoyed several good meals at restaurants in the Dorado area as well as in San Juan. Traffic in and out of San Juan on Highway 22 can be very heavy and stressful. Towards the end of our stay, we instead began taking Highway 165 along the coast---beautiful drive and considerably less traffic.
Early in our stay, we discovered a coqui, the "national frog of Puerto Rico," lives in a small crevice in the corner of the back patio. I'm quite sure no coqui has ever been photographed as much as that one!
Madeline, thanks you! You have a beautiful place. I hope you and your family have many opportunities each year to enjoy it.

Seven of us had a lovely time in this villa, including our 3-year old daughter. The rooms are spacious, the furniture is comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. We were especially grateful for the beach chairs and toys!
Dorado is a great area and an excellent home base if you want to explore a lot of the island. We went as far west as Hatillo, as far east as Fajardo, and as far south as Cayey, all in easy day trips. |

Nine of us stayed in the villa for a week, including two small children. We never felt crammed and we each had our own privacy as each bedroom has its own bathroom.
The villa is within a block of the pool. The pool is clean and quiet.
We were able to contact Madeline during our stay and she was accommodating to our needs. |

| The pictures on this web page doesn't do the property justice. The place is gorgeous and very spacious. We visit the island for a class reunion and to see relatives this July. My old classmates had a golf scramble and I was able to see them from the backyard. We used the BBQ and the adjacent hotel facilities. We had a great time!! We look forward to returning. |
