About this property

LOCATION! Beach & Ocean Front Luxury Villa Rio Mar Resort

So much to do - So much not to do. Adventurous days and enchanting nights await you at our private Villa in the Rio Mar Beach Resort. Indulge in exquisite cuisine, relaxing spa services, two championship golf courses and a magnificent casino. Or better yet, leave it all just a few steps away to refresh your spirit in our private Villa suite and its own private dream-lined beach, infinity pool and glistening rain forest that leave you inspired.


We welcome you to our private Villa just a stone’s throw away from the ocean for your own vacation in paradise to enjoy the best of all worlds. The Villa units were originally built as the most exclusive suites for the Resort (recognized by Connoisseur's guide of Resorts and Great Hotels as the Caribbean Premier Beach Front vacation and golf resort).

The views are stunning from every room and balcony of our 4th floor Oceanfront Villa. In fact, our personal Villa is closer to the ocean and beach and more private than the most expensive suite available at the adjacent Rio Mar Wyndham Resort. Also, unlike rental agencies, you are guaranteed to get the unit and views we show.

On the one hand escape from it all in your exclusive and private Villa with breathtaking views or soak up the sunshine by the private infinity pools or pristine palm tree lined beach. Our beautifully-decorated Villa features two bedrooms (One King/Two Queen) with two full bathrooms, living room, fully-equipped kitchen, dining, and two private balconies. It is our special place so we have fully renovated and decked out every room with a huge 60 inch and two 42 inch Plasma HDTVs (all rooms are HD), wireless internet, full composition of premium movie channels and free local calling. Of course, we also bring you glorious direct views of the ocean and beach, and your choice of fresh ocean air or air conditioning.

Then again, that is only half the fun as additionally you can enjoy amenities of a world-class resort to include up to 8 restaurants, lounges and entertainment, 2 miles of uninterrupted beach, casino, 2 choices in championship golf courses (Greg Norman’s River, Fazio’s Ocean), 13 tennis courts, water sports, and a relaxing spa. A place of never ending opportunity and memories.

And it doesn’t end there as you are surrounded by beauty, the ocean on one side and the El Yunque National Forest mountains on the other as you look out the entry of our Villa area (just a 5 minute drive to the base). Just outside the Resort take a 25 minute drive to Fajardo where you can discover deep-sea fishing, Bioluminescent Bay, airport/ferry to beautiful Vieques and Culebra Islands, 30-minute drive to explore the history and culture of old San Juan and just 5 to 15 minutes to all amenities (supermarkets, banks, outlet shopping mall, K-Mart/Walmart, Ralph's, fast food, movie theaters, etc).

A great place for families and kids – we have 4 that can never wait to get back. A great value if you are looking for a vacation of a lifetime. Go to ChoiceofParadise on the web to see more.

As Puerto Rico navigates Covid-19 with the rest of the world there are Covid-19 related rules at our villa, the Wyndham, as well as throughout Puerto Rico. A list of all regulations will be provided to each guest. Please do not hesitate to ask about these regulations.

Amazing Stay!!

Spent a week at this wonderful 2 bedroom villa with my wife and 18yr old son. It was as advertised and then some. The location is amazing. Pools were beautiful and the proximity the the ocean / beach can't be beat. The host was very accommodating and we would happily stay there again.

We had a great time staying at the ocean villas at wyndham grand rio mar. The location of the condo is incredible and as advertised. Waki g up every morning to the bright sun and the ocean view was amazing. The owner and property manager were easy to communicate with, and the on site personnel were very friendly. Highly recommend.

Great Spring Break

Perfect location for a family of 4. Kids got their own room with their own beds, bathroom and balcony which they loved. Balconies have amazing views over the various pools and the beach is very nice. Beautiful grounds, and the unit was well stocked for a few meals in, while being super close to a lot of other tasty options. Location was perfect for our adventures to the National Forest, a day trip to Culebra, Farjardo bioluminescent bay tours, and Old San Juan. Longest drive was about 2 hrs to the Toro Verde Adventure Park for the ziplines, but it seemed to go fast and was great to see more of the island.The owner was very pleasant to communicate with, and provided an excellent guidebook that answered many of my pre-trip questions. Excellent hospitality and would definitely return. Thank you!

Amazing Trip!

I thought the property was even nicer in person than the pictures - very clean and cute beach towels on the beds when we arrived. The balcony is idyllic with the warm breeze and view (and sound) of the ocean! Michelle is excellent to work with and was very responsive to any questions we had. The only thing that would have made it any better would be if one of the pools was heated; they were quite chilly and not that enjoyable to swim in. Otherwise, it was a great trip and hope to go back someday.

Spring Break Stay

First things first: The location of this villa couldn't be better. True luxury is being able to see the sun and ocean waves within moments; to step onto the beach within seconds. In that sense, the convenience of this villa location is bar none, and Michelle property managers were extremely responsive to inquiries about check in and an inflatable mattress. The beds were also extremely comfortable too - what an awesome surprise!That said, a few extra touches and attention to detail would make this villa go from good to extraordinary - primarily cleanliness. Most of the dishes utensils (stored) were dirty; the bathrooms were a little grimy too. Things like the TV in the living room (didn't work) and main coffee maker (troublesome/leaky) detracted from the overall stay as well. Not deal breakers in the least, but small things that detracted from the quality of the villa overall. All that to say, the apartment was beautifully spacious and the location couldn't be beat. As a final note: We didn't cook much but those looking to prepare meals will need to stock up on essentials like oil, seasonings, etc, as the kitchen (pantry, etc.) was bare. Not a big deal for us, but heads up for others who may need to do a thorough grocery shop in order to cook meals on-site.

Beautiful spot

We really enjoyed our stay at Michelle’s place. Absolutely loved the pools and the hot tub. Unfortunately, we were never able to swim in the ocean at the VRBO, there were red flag warnings on this beach the whole time we were there, and had to find other more protected beaches. That was a big bummer, not the hosts fault of course. We loved coming back in the evening and walking over to the pool bar and getting the kids smoothies. Overall, the place was in a beautiful spot. Thanks Michelle!

Perfect for our family!

This was our first experience with a VRBO and we couldn't have been happier! The space was perfect for my husband and I and 3 teenagers. The accommodations were perfect from top to bottom including beach necessities, powerful blender to make fun drinks, even a cigar cutter! Ocean view from every room! Two private balcony's. My favorite spot was to drink my Puerto Rico coffee out on the balcony in the morning overlooking the ocean and then hang out there again at night sipping wine and often falling asleep listening to the ocean waves. The unit was very clean and felt very private and safe. We actually never heard or saw any neighbors so we felt like the whole place was ours. I loved the keypad entrance, never had to worry about losing cards! Loved that there were two designated places to park, one in the garage and one outside in the parking lot. We had a larger vehicle so we parked mostly in the parking lot. The two pools and large hot tub were very clean (seemed better than the Wyndham pools actually). The beach in front of our villa was super clean, water perfectly warm, great boogie boarding! My husband and I love long walks on the beach and couldn't believe how silky smooth the sand was and that we could walk forever! We often found sandollars washing up into the shore, which are now in my living room! The sand volleyball court was amazing! We had a corn hole tournament with 5 other families at the resort one day. Location was great for the excursions we did!

My husband and I spent a week with our 11 year old granddaughter in this lovely condo. The location is spectacular; we found it very nice to be next door to the Wyndham resort, where we dined several times. The pools at the condos were delightful, and access to the beach easy. The interior of the condo was lovely and as advertised. Ample supplies, including several beach towels, It was spotless when we arrived, everything was in working order, and appreciated all it had to offer. The condo is close to the rain forest and to activities. I definitely recommend this to families!
