The Space:
Welcome to “Villa Adrianna”. Wren Beach Rentals by Portoro is proud to offer this one-of-a-kind oceanfront cottage to our guests. This adorable home sits on a high dune offering wonderful views of the beach. The home was remodeled in 2020 and is sure to impress. The first floor features a sparkling kitchen, equipped with stainless appliances, granite counter tops, and a beautiful tile backsplash. The dining table seats 6 and has views of the ocean. Off of the kitchen is an outdoor space, fenced in with artificial turf, a gas grill, and seating for 4. Around the corner from the kitchen is a full bathroom which features a beautiful walk-in shower. The living room is airy and bright and features a sofa and several chairs around the wall-mounted TV. Outside the living room is a covered deck that overlooks the beach. Here you will find another dining table with seating for 6. This deck leads right down to the beach, and has a shower for rinsing off the sand.

Head up the beautiful spiral staircase and you find the lovely master bedroom suite on the second floor. This bedroom has a king bed and an oceanfront balcony, where you will enjoy magnificent views of the sunrise. There is a beautiful armoire for storing your personal items. The fireplace in the bedroom, while beautiful, is decorative only. The master bathroom features his-and-hers sinks, a walk-in shower, and a bath tub. Outside the master bedroom is a sitting area with another TV. The day bed is available for sleeping and has a trundle underneath. Outside the sitting room is a fabulous courtyard, perfect for gathering to enjoy the outdoors as the sun sets the Guana Preserve.

Continue up the spiral staircase to find two more bedrooms on the third floor. The ocean front bedroom has a queen bed and a small balcony. The third bedroom has two twin beds and a small balcony that overlooks Guana Lake. There is a bathroom between the two bedrooms.

The 2 car garage is available for guests to park and there is also parking for an additional two cars in the driveway. All of our guests have the option to pay for a temporary membership to the Serenata Beach Club to use their swimming pools, fitness center, kids’ club, and more.

Spring break
The property was very nice, and in a very great location. The only downfall is the spiral staircase that goes up to the 3rd floor. We had to carry our suitcases up to the 3rd floor where 2 of the 3 bedrooms are located. The master is on the 2nd floor so it is up the spiral staircase 1 floor. Carrying the luggage and going up and down the spiral stairs was really hard for us and especially for my 70-75 year old parents.

Great stay!
Impeccably clean and comfortable house with nice linens, plenty of beach towels and chairs. Be aware that the kitchen is not really stocked with essentials. We had to bring our own salt and other essential cooking ingredients like oil. I understand that the owners don’t want stuff accumulating in the pantry, but essentials like salt might be nice to provide for guests.

Such a great house! We loved it! The only two minor things were the tv on the middle level never worked (the teens wanted a movie night) and the coffee pot was small for the size of our group. But beyond that it was absolutely a perfect week and we had a blast!
