Other things to note We are a Puerto Rican/British couple who split our time between London, Spain and Puerto Rico and bought this villa in 2021, as we love its location, style and the Palmas del Mar vibe. One day we hope to retire here, but until then we are happy to share it with you! It's our first time hosting an AirBNB and we are super keen to make sure you have a great time staying with us. Our family lives locally and will be on hand to help with anything during your stay. If the full villa is not available on the dates you're looking for, it's possible the upstairs or downstairs may be available, since they can be rented separately or together.
