About Us We are members of the Puerto Rico Hotel and Tourism Association and also the Tourism Association of
Rincon, which we have been members since we started Sunset Paradise Villas.
 
We began Sunset Paradise Villas after our first trip
to Puerto Rico in 1995. We were on vacation and found this “handyman special” beachfront home.
Below is a picture of the Realtor showing us the home for the first time. It had the best beach and views just right outside the door. After extensive remodeling, we began renting it out. It is now called
“Villa 1 lower” but at the time there was no “upper” or “Villa 2”. Within a year after the first unit was purchased, we bought Villa 2, which was also only one story. We moved to Puerto Rico and built a second story on Villa 2 for us to live in. We built a large two bedroom unit that had everything we wanted, but as it neared completion we decided that there
might be many people who would enjoy the comforts the unit had to offer, so we
decided to rent it out. We were right, people love the extras that
are not found in a typical rental unit in Puerto Rico. We have since moved back
to the states and currently live in Phoenix. After our move, we added a second story to Villa 1. Again, this was constructed not as a rental, but as a super nice place that we could stay in when we are in Rincon. We have
again since decided to rent it when we are not staying there.
We are both from Iowa, where we grew up. I have always been involved in real estate and Joyce, my wife, worked as a teacher and later, career counseling in a private university. We have one daughter, Alexis, who is in high school. We
enjoy traveling back to Puerto Rico as much as we can. Early on, during
our travels to Puerto Rico, we met Hector and Gladys who helps us run our
business.
They are one of our greatest assets in providing a great place for you to come
visit. They are there to ensure you have a comfortable stay. They are a special
part of our family.
Currently, we are also working on Villa 3 which
will be next to Villa 2. We are also trying to build some units by the lighthouse near the
point.
These units are about us. We like relaxing places on the beach that we can
enjoy as our home and that others can come to and do the same. We take
pride in providing a clean and very comfortable place for our guests to
relax during their visit to the west coast of Puerto Rico.
