We had a great time with our family. Property was clean, updated and kitchen was well equipped. The property is also a very close walk to the beach which made it easy with young kids. Look forward to staying here again

Great location, very responsive host, clear instructions on access to and use of home. Loved the pool and being right on a great, kid friendly, swimming beach. We had 2 young children and they enjoyed the playground, the grounds, the pool and the beach! Would stay again for sure.

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful experience with us 💛.
It brings me so much joy to know your family, especially the little ones, were able to fully enjoy the playground, pool, and that calm, kid-friendly beach. Those are the kinds of memories that make a stay really special, and for us to keep hosting.
We genuinely miss you all already! Even our neighbors shared how much they enjoyed having your family around—it says so much. You were such a pleasure to host.
Please don’t be a stranger—just let me know when you’re ready for your next visit. We would absolutely love to welcome you back… hopefully very soon ✨

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us—we truly appreciate it! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope you had a wonderful experience. You’re always welcome back, and we would love to host you again in the future!
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!!

We had a wonderful time! Everything we needed was there, coolers, beach towels, beach chair, etc. very cozy and comfortable! We loved the patio and the pool!
Our stay was great! The rooms are well decorated, clean, spacious and comfy. Nice area and right across from the beach. Will definitely stay here again.
Hosts were super helpful and check in process was easy. Location was great and home was as advertised in pictures. A lot of nice touches around the holidays with Christmas decorations.
Excellent remodeled home with the the beach a few steps away.

Thank you for staying on our property.
We love hearing whenever our guests have a fantastic time at VAM.
We hope to see you and your family again in the near future.
A lovely condo in close proximity to beaches and Old San Juan
The condo is beautiful and comfortable. The location is ticked away inside a gated community with easy drives to beaches and Old San Juan. Also a good location to make day trips to the West of the island. We enjoyed all of PR!
The property was perfect for a spring break getaway with our kids. The house was very clean and comfortable. The location is great- within walking distance of the beach, a pool, a playground, and a variety of restaurants.

Beautiful place, easy access to the beach, everything we needed and more. I’m was raised in Dorado so this made it easy for my family to be close. Thank you

About the host
Hosted by Janelle
Welcome to Alma Marina – Villa Alma Marina, the Soul of the Ocean! 🌊
This is my beautiful childhood home, where I was fortunate to build lifelong memories. 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.
