The Neighborhood:
Lakeside Villas is a children friendly villa community featuring a putting green and two tennis courts. The villa has great views of the lakes and magnificent fountains. Lakeside Villas has a main pool, a children's pool and playground. Surrounded by beautiful water fountains and lakes, it is an exquisite place for your ideal vacation. The beautiful beach will provide you with hours of fun and entertainment.
Lakeside Villas is near the Dorado Beach Resort & Club, which is home to four legendary championship golf courses. The famous East and West Courses, originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., are located in a secluded seaside sanctuary along two miles of Puerto Rico’s northeasterly shores, nestled within the former Rockefeller estate’s magnificent, mature landscaping.
The Hyatt property is partially closed so just the time share is operational with a beach bar pools and a beautiful beach.
You can use the beach at any time (that is the law in PR) and you can walk to it from our villas. Prior guests HAVE used the Dorado Beach facilities with no issues- however I can not guarantee that this policy may not change.

Other Things to Note:
Host is available 24/7 and is extremely responsive to any requests.
Puerto Rico is an amazingly friendly Island and folks are laid back and on ISLAND TIME.
Guest and Owner will sign an occupancy agreement detailing the terms of the stay. Guest may request a copy of this agreement at any time as it is specific to each Villa rental.
If a guest is bringing a pet we need to know in advance as there may be registration paperwork involved and a pet fee.
This villa has a specific allowance for electricity usage which covers normal use per day. If guests run all zones of AC 24/7, it has happened that guests may exceed the allowance and there is a surcharge for over usage based on actual bills or meter readings upon entry and exit. Excess electricity usage may be deducted from the Security deposit that is on hold with Airbnb. To avoid that please be mindful and turn off the AC units when you are not in the room. Guests are responsible for ALL utilities for stays of a month or more.
If guests stay for longer than two weeks a mid-stay cleaning will be charged $195.
Interaction with Guests:
I love to host our guests- but leave it up to the guests to request any assistance with planning and local resources.
