Great rental and very communicative host. This was one of the best rentals in terms of kitchen utensils and pots and pans, good location (nice sunsets) and everything you need for the beach! Convenient beach and pool access, as well as grocery store and pharmacies. Rental is in a secure area of Dorado - must go through a gate to enter the community and then a gate for the condo. It felt very safe. Thanks, Janelle!!

After Hurricane Maria tragically destroyed 70% of our belongings and memories, I took the opportunity to fully rebuild, design, and remodel it with state-of-the-art features for everyone’s enjoyment. The villa was lovingly customized to honor my mom, Alma, a civil engineer passionate about the ocean, rivers, and interior design—hence the name Villa Alma Marina.

Every detail in this home has been carefully chosen with love and attention, from high-quality furnishings to unique touches you won’t find in other short-term rentals. It’s a space designed for comfort, relaxation, and creating your own unforgettable memories.

I look forward to hosting amazing guests and sharing the magic of this special home. Come experience the perfect blend of luxury, warmth, and ocean-inspired charm at Villa Alma Marina—you’re going to love your stay!
