    18 Enchanting Puerto Rico Vacation Rentals For Your Island Escape

    Laura Ray
    March 06, 2022

    Looking for an affordable Caribbean vacation where most of the locals speak English, you don’t have to exchange your money, and you don’t even need a passport? Look no further than the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico! Featuring historic architecture, tropical vegetation, and beautiful white sand beaches, this oft-overlooked Caribbean island gives you plenty of cultural and coastal bang for your buck. Unlike some other tropical escapes, Puerto Rican vacation rentals are budget-friendly.

    Videos by TravelAwaits

    Whether you want to stay near the beach where you can fish, boat, swim, snorkel, scuba dive, or surf, or would prefer somewhere more off-the-beaten-path, there’s a perfect vacation rental in Puerto Rico for you. From the west side of the island where the sun sets over the ocean, our list of Puerto Rico vacation rentals moves clockwise towards the capital of San Juan, inland near the waterfalls of the El Yunque National Forest, then around to Luquillo and Fajardo, where you can kayak Bioluminescent Bay. We also included a Vrbo on the nearby municipal island of Vieques, which can be reached by ferry boat or plane ride. Take a catamaran cruise or charter a boat to visit some of the uninhabited islands that help make up the archipelago.

    Before you start sipping piña coladas and strolling the blue brick roads of the old city, you’ll need to book a place to stay on the Isla del Encanto. Here are our top picks for vacation homes in Puerto Rico!

    El Yunque Studio$171/nightly avg

    In the foothills of El Yunque National Forest, this vacation rental is inland between Fajardo and Old San Juan but far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Breathtaking mountain and ocean views in this quiet rural neighborhood make for a tranquil, picture-perfect setting. This private estate overlooks lush tropical grounds. Stay in the studio by the pool and eat fresh fruit from the garden.

    A quarter of a mile down the road, you’ll find access to the Río Grande river and its fresh pools and waterfalls. Swim at the beach in nearby Luquillo.

    We loved our stay! The pool was amazing! The views were beautiful! The fruit trees were awesome. Try the passion fruit! Close to tons of things to do but far enough away to feel like you are on your own private paradise. Sam was an awesome host and even made us breakfast after our long day of traveling. Thank you Sam!
    We loved our stay! Great host! The view is absolutely beautiful. We loved our stay in the mountain. Super peaceful and definitely felt like a vacation! Sam is a great host and always available and super friendly and helpful! We loved our new friend Bravo. Our son misses his company! This was our first two nightsout of 9 nights total in Puerto Rico. Our son kept asking us don’t you miss Bravo? We have a big dog at home so he made us all feel right at home along with everything else. The only thing we missed was A/C. The pool is very nice, clean and relaxing. We definitely plan to return. It cools down out night which helps but we are used to sleeping in the cold at home. It was definitely worth the stay and all the beautiful landscaping adds to the view! Thank you Sam for hosting us and fitting us in!!
    We loved our stay at this hidden treasure near El Yunque National Forest! The view and the gardens are incredible!It was fun cooking in the outdoor kitchen and Sam was such a nice host. The apartment was very comfortable too. We feel very lucky that we had the opportunity to stay here!
    We booked three nights at this awesome property but ended up returning on our last day for a 4th night. The owner Sam was more than accommodating with this request and his communication with us was fantastic. Sam was also the best host we’ve ever had at a rental and added to our enjoyment of staying here. He showed us everything growing on the property (there’s a lot), helped us pick fresh fruit, made fresh smoothies for us, gave a us local advice and was simply a joy to hang out with. He seemed more like a good friend than the property owner. No worries though as Sam isn’t the type who will impose on people who want solitude but we enjoyed his company and were very up front about that.As far as the property itself…it’s simply a little slice of tropical paradise. It’s in a beautiful setting just outside of El Yunque National Park, has about every type of tropical fruit and plants you could imagine, is secluded yet close to San Juan, has views of the ocean in the distance and the mountains on the other side. Simply stated it’s just spectacular and my wife commented that after 10 years together I finally brought her to a place she loves. We loved it so much that we are already planning a return trip.The apartment has everything we needed and although there were just two of us there’s enough space for 4 people if needed and we are planning on bringing our young adult kids next time. The outdoor kitchen is also a great touch.I could go on and on about how great this property is but will leave it at this..for our future trips we will plan the dates around when Sam’s place is available. We enjoyed everything about it and gained a new friend in Sam as well. We can’t thank him enough for the genuine hospitality he showed us but I suspect this is something everyone who stays here would agree with.
    We spent a week here in April 2021. The grounds are absolutely stunning, with manicured tropical gardens around the entire premises, including many fruit varieties including papaya, bananas, passion fruit, cherry, sugar cane, and much more. The pool was the perfect temperature, and the trickle of the waterfall at the edge added to the experience. The outdoor kitchen was one of my favorite aspects, where we cooked daily with the large barbecue grill, full cookware, outdoor sync, herb gardens and seating bar. The downstairs apartment is small but is all we needed since we didn’t spend much time indoors. Sleeping at night was so comfortable. I always need A/C, but the cool breeze at night in the mountains was refreshing and I never once missed not having it. The view from the property, with the ocean off in the distance, is stunning, and is perfectly picture framed between palm trees on the property. And then there is Sam – one of the best VRBO hosts we’ve had. He went out of his way to make sure our stay was enjoyable, whether that was lending us a beach umbrella, or making us a sugar cane and passion fruit cocktail from his sugar cane mill. We fell in love with this property, and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you Sam!!!

    We visited Abreeze many years ago when different owners rented cars there. Loved the property but never stayed until this trip. It is an amazing place in an amazing location. Nice and breezy, true to it’s name and the view in every direction was spectacular. The owner Micheal was a pleasure to work with as were the property managers Angie and Vicente. We will be back, hopefully with a bigger group and use the entire place. … Not to say it wasn’t a great place to share with others. Had lots of privacy and easy to share such a huge space.Thanks Michael and Joylon.
    Just a delight staying at this home. Beautiful grounds and views and the property manager was so kind. The owner has maintained and improved the property and has the home outfitted with everything you may need during your stay. Will happily return again.
    We loved our stay at Abreeze. Very relaxing and comfortable property. While the coast was only a short 10-minute drive away, we felt far from the beach towns ~ just what we needed after four nights in Old San Juan near the party district! We felt very safe and enjoyed the breeze through the louvered windows. There’s a nice small pool on the property, but we never used it. We did use the washer and dryer as well as the beach chairs and umbrella. There were no other guests in the two other units, so our stay was very peaceful. Great property managers too! Angie was super accommodating!
    My only drawback was there was no verification of vaccinations. I was very adamant about picking this property for such reason. 4 young adults guests also staying at property were not vaccinated. I had to test before leaving the island. During these times and covid outbreaks you really should be more careful. I have a compromised immune system and if I had known when arriving I would not have stayed my total duration.
    The house setting and amenities were fabulous and the house managers, Andy and Angelica were extremely helpful and welcoming. We especially appreciated the “extras” — beach towels, chairs, cooler and umbrella! The location was perfect too!

    Loved the East Side of the island, property is at great location to explore El Yunque Rainforest, water taxies to out islands, and local restaurants. The condo is very large and accommodating to our family of four, has everything you need for your stay and was very clean. Outside shower was a plus as well as the washer and dryer. We enjoyed the roosters in the morning and finding land crabs at night on the beach across from the condo! Also, was very nice to meet the host, Ariel, upon arrival to our stay.
    Getting into the condo was difficult lock box did not want to open. When we left we could not open it so. We left the key locked in the condo.
    3 bedroom Apartment in Farjardo, across the street from the Seven Seas Beach.
    The Seven Seas beach in Fajardo area is a great place to stay, so close to the ocean. We really loved the location of this property. If visiting the Ocean 200ft away -Snorkeling & Hiking to secluded beaches is your thing, look no further. The Condo was spacious and had everything we needed to stay for the week (Great value for the awesome location). We enjoyed spending time outside next to the pool after a long day of fun excursions and activities. The only negative to this property for us was the Rosters that were perched in the tree 10 feet from our bedroom window from 2am to 6am everyday – sleep was difficult. The property manager and owner did us a huge favor when our flight was cancelled, and we needed to stay on the island an addition 3 nights. thank you, so much. We will see you soon. Jeff S
    Clean and neat. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay here again.

    This property is so cozy. We were going to the beach but with the beautiful private pool, we did not need to go anywhere. The property is extremely clean, comfortable and the owner is super flexible. I recommend this property in a heartbeat. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Jonathan Rivera!!! We are very pleased with your property.
    Jonathan and Monica were wonderful hosts! The property was even prettier in person. Very private backyard with beautiful pool. They set up a crib for our infant and had a basket of toys for our toddler! We can’t wait to come back!
    What a wonderful property! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this property and Jonathan was a kind and gracious host!
    This home will meet all your needs! Stay home and relax by the pool or take a quick trip into town. Very clean, comfortable and was supplied with everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this place for single travelers and couples.
    We absolutely loved our stay at this house. The pool was perfect for the hot weather. We enjoyed the space very much and Jonathan (The Host) had a great communication with us at all times. I highly recommend it!

    We traveled with a large group and rented several condos in the Las Ventanas buildings. The units are beautiful, spacious and very conveniently located. Roberto and Sandra were wonderful hosts. We will be back!
    Lovely time. Great location. Owners very helpful.
    We love Bahia Beach. We’ve visited Bahia Beach many times but this was our first time staying in this unit. The owners were great and the property was perfect. The 2 minute walk to the beach club restaurant and beach/pool can’t be beat. We will return!
    The condo is perfectly located and central to the beach, golf course and beach club pool making it an ideal rental for families. Beautiful resort with plenty of activities for everyone. The golf cart and full access to the resort were key. The only drawback was somewhat limited dining options on the property but overall it was fine. Sandra and Roberto were very responsive to all questions making our trip seamless and comfortable.
    We had a fantastic stay at Bahia (family with three teenagers)! Villa was great, location perfect, resort and amenities were awesome. Roberto and Sandra are wonderful hosts! We cannot wait to return!

    This VRBO exceeded our expectations. The outside of the property is amazing with pool access and easy beach access it made it easy for our large group. The area is extremely close to the airport and has beach bars, vendors, and restaurants that we kept going back to. We felt extremely safe and had our own private oasis. I would stay at this property again. Tiffany was really great hostess. Thank you again.
    What a beautiful experience. Having the whole place to ourselves(10 adults no kids) was just the best. The host was super friendly and helpful. There was a power outage on the island and we were not affected at all thanks to the industrial generator on the property.
    This place was so perfect for our large group of friends. The host were very friendly upon check in and had the property in tip top shape. The separate apartments gave everyone the privacy they need and the pool create a beautiful common area to enjoy. The beach was super clean, beautiful and felt very private. The only downfall of this place is that getting Ubers can be tricky taking upwards of 20 minutes to be picked up if you find a driver willing to make the drive. Recommend scheduling Ubers if you have plans to leave the house anywhere between 10-6. Traffic gets really heavy. Other than that I can’t wait to visit this house again hopefully in the future.
    Very convenient
    My group and I had a wonderful stay! With all four rooms booked, we were able to spend plenty of time by the pool and walk along the boardwalk. Tiffany and her team are very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. The check-in process was easy and the location is only a few minutes drive from the airport. Would definitely stay here again!

    Fantastic and charming property right in the heart of Old San Juan. Includes comprehensive amenities and host was extremely friendly and responsive. Only issue was the noise level in the evenings but that was expected given the location.
    We absolutely loved our stay. The daily rain in the courtyard was amazing, the kitchen beautiful, AC in the bedrooms made it cozy for sleeping, but even in the main part of the apartment we were never hot with so much air movement and high ceilings. We will definitely stay again!
    The pictures truly do not do this property justice. It is absolutely beautiful! The air conditioning in the bedrooms kept us very cool and we had no issues at all with the temp. in the rest of the home. The location is perfect with everything you need in walking distance. It was the perfect stay for my birthday trip and whenever I’m in San Juan again I will be booking again.
    The accommodations were exactly as described. The living space is open air (no A/C) and the bedrooms are A/C. If you are not open to that experience this is not for you. My 19 yr old girls LOVED the feel of the openness and embraced the culture.While you can hear everything outside it was part of the experience and became part of the memories that we brought back with us. There were 6 of us and 1 shower area but we easily managed showers. The same with the room with the toilet and sink… Simply not an issue.Each bedroom had a sink and mirror which Allows convenience to getting cleaned up to go out. We were 3 blocks from groceries. Eateries and bars were within blocks in every direction! Jon the host was very responsive anytime he was contacted.There was no parking there but a parking garage a few blocks away and a little further was outdoor parking.. All easy to get to. The beds were very comfortable. My ONLY critique would be for the kitchen to be a bit more stocked.There is enough to get by but with 6 people it was challenging .Would definitely stay again! Thank you Jon!
    The pictures don’t do this place justice! It is awesome and we enjoyed it from the moment we arrived. The fans and many doors throughout help to keep it from being too hot and the rooms are nicely cooled with individual units at night. It would be good to know that on Friday and Saturday there can be some noise outside occasionally as people return home from bars and stuff at night, but by no means did it have any dramatic effect on our trip.

    Property was very nice. Location was great! The best part was the property Manager Joselyn. She was readily available and was very kind. Went out of her way to satisfy all our needs. I would stay here again !!Thank you Joselyn
    My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this place. It’s a charming rental that’s centrally located, beautifully decorated, and impeccably clean. Joselyn was very responsive and incredibly helpful. Would highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a place in old San Juan.
    The rental was in a perfect location for the San Sebastián Festival. We felt safe entering and leaving the building. Our only concern was that it was very pricy.

    Jorge made for a wonderful arrangement to secretly propose to my girlfriend. Magnificent trip!
    The deck on the back is amazing and everything it was said to be in the listing. The bathroom said it was small but was surprised to find the sink is so narrow that my GF and I (both relatively small) had to brush our teeth in the kitchen. There is one A/C unit in the bedroom so it is hot it can get warm in the living room. Towels , beach chairs and an umbrella were all provided. We did not see the property manager/owner once during our stay but a resident of the bldg was able to advise us on some local restaurants and the like.
    This is a wonderful place to stay. Lagoon view is beautiful, the best sunsets. Easy, free access to kayaks was great. Kitchen has everything we needed to make breakfast as well.
    The property was awesome loved the apartment and the view. Location is perfect, right in the heart of Condado
    The best vacation ever

    Perfect! It had a GREAT city view and the perfect location. It’s a great place if you are spending lots of time walking and exploring. I wish there was a full length mirror in the apartment, but other than that it was awesome.
    The location, communications and apartment were all great. The apartment is located in an older building in Condado, on the beach and giving you a feel that you are in Puerto Rico. Walking distance to restaurants, supermarket, and night life, made things really easy for us as we did not have a car. We used uber to get to Old San Juan, which was also easy and not expensive. Thank you for helping to make our stay pleasant.
    the apartment is very clean and neat, the building offers laundry room, pool and gym.The location is a walking distance from the “big names” hotels area but you don’t live in the middle of the disco party, it’s a quiet place. The only thing to mention, we were not lucky with the ocean and had to travel to a beach which is ok for kids, maybe it depends on the season. But if you like surfing or kiteboarding, this area is definitely 100% yours. The managing company is welcoming and amazing in communication. Have a good time in San Juan!

    We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. Every family had their own unit that overlooked a private pool. The kids ages 9-15 loved it. The beach was a block away and the house is fully stocked with everything from sunscreen and bug spray to towels and beach chairs. Fernando was very responsive and answered all questions as we had never been to the area before.
    My extended family recently rented all three properties in the compound. Fernando was waiting for us when we arrived and gave a thorough tour of each living area, and provided recommendations and orientation to the area. The property was impeccably clean and well appointed, from kitchen to bathrooms to bedroom as and pool area. Even the rooftop patios were well thought out with nice seating areas. It felt luxurious and secure. The road noise was quite loud late into the night in the upstairs apartment, so take note if you’re a light sleeper, but that was the only issue we had.
    Thank you so much Fernando for such an amazing stay. The house was perfect and we had an amazing time. The pictures do not do this place justice. Outdoor area and pool were perfect but there were two rooftops with tables and lounge chairs perfect for getting a tan. The compound is great for a large family with plenty of shared space but privacy as well. Would recommend Kasalta Bakery, Pinky’s and Bebos Cafe.. all within walking distance. Will definitely stay again.
    Wonderful property. We loved it.
    This house was perfect for our multi-generational family. Great common areas but also privacy when needed. Close to a very nice beach and a lively street of restaurants and shops. Fernando is great host. Very friendly and responsive.

    Francisco and his wife Norma are the sweetest people in the world!! I think of them as family after being in their home! I’m disabled so I wish I would have rented a car for the entire stay so I could have explored beautiful Puerto Rico more.. but I would definitely stay at Francisco’s again if I get the chance to go back to Aguadilla..The view from the balcony is gorgeous!! It’s very safe, has a security gate, etc.. Netflix, & other TV options.. their are two bathrooms which was nice, the beds are comfortable, and it’s nice to have access to a washer & dryer..The mosquitoes loved me (too much lol) no matter what kind of spray I used.. so definitely stock up on that..I didn’t get to try the fruit in the backyard, but I loved seeing geckos running around lol:)I was sad to see the damage hurricane Maria left ; the kid (kelvin) who drove us around told me some sad stories!! It broke my heart.. if you don’t rent a car, I would suggest Kelvin!! He’s a good kid & likes to show you around or go the extra mile for you..The blender blew up on me, & Francisco ordered another one immediately; that was sweet..They are pretty well stocked with spices, paper plates, towels, etc.. SO that was nice, too!!I would highly recommend this home for anyone going to Aguadilla.. the view is stunning!! Could not ask for better hosts.. remember to read the instruction manual, it is very detailed and was very helpful.. you couldn’t ask for better hosts!! GRACIAS Francisco & Norma… If this review helped, please give me a big ole thumbs up!! Thank you
    Perfect little house. Easy walk to the beach. Beautiful sunset views. Super comfy with tons of amenities. Owner was very accommodating and always making sure we were well taken care of.
    Great place that was just as listed. Owner was extremely accommodating. View from roof top patio was amazing! Very close to anything you could need. Located on great boardwalk with vendors on the weekend. Only downside was dogs barking at times next door and stray cats. Would definitely stay here again.
    I stayed three weeks at this property and the experience was wonderful. There was a major water issue that affected three cities, Aguadilla being one of them, but the owner, when notified of the problem, acted quickly and was in constant contact with me to make sure it did not negatively affect my stay at his house. The neighbors were very friendly as well. The owner knew exactly how much contact with me, the tenant, was enough without being obtrusive and always made me feel like his house was mine during the time I was there.
    The home is very well appointed with many amenities. The upstairs outdoor patio was our favorite gathering spot! The host was so kind and helpful and offered to be available at any time of day. Great communication throughout the process. Would definitely recommend! I would rent again if we return!

    Great condo in a wonderful location! Clean and stocked with beach equipment and nice rooftop deck with ocean views. Close to the beach and all that the West Coast of PR has to offer. Perfect for our family of 6. We will definitely be back!
    What a great home! It was clean, organized and neat. Everything was available to us. The kitchen had all the necessary things like pots and pans and cooking needs. The AC’s kept us nice and cool. Upstairs roof deck was amazing with the grill! The view was spectacular!! We had a pool downstairs for the kids to hang out in. It was extremely convenient to walk down to the beach. Literally a 2 minute walk down the hill. It’s a short drive to the local town with shops and restaurants. Great home!! Will definitely come back to visit again one day.
    My friends and I rented the property and had an amazing experience. Ines was able to be easily reached when needed, the place was clean and had everything needed for our stay! Great location, will be renting again in the future!
    This condo is perfect! Great location, great layout. Rooftop is ideal for entertaining, condo is stocked with beach equipment, kitchen supplies everything about the condo was perfect. Including the pool. And great quick responses from owner/manager. Definitely will rent this condo again and highly recommend it.
    We had a great stay with our preschool and first grade children and their grandparents. We all loved the pool andthe rooftop deck. The Ac’s in the room work great and the house was well stocked.There were lots of beach necessities and a handful of walking distance bars and restaurants. I would recommend staying here 100 percent!

    GORGEOUS property – we were home away from home and the pool at house is stunning and we got in it everyday.The owner is highly communicative and responded promptly to all messages and calls. some things to consider -1. the property is a safe gate community about 1.5 hours from old San Juan, 30 minutes from Fajardo and closest grocery store/fast food is 20 minutes away.2. The maps directions will get you to the neighborhood but you will need the owners to guide you to the gate and the exact property as that was not clearly identified.3. Beach is 5 minuted walk that is uphill on the way back – use the gates by the kids park down the street for better beach access vs the gate behind the property – the beach is pretty rocky so take water shoes and during tide time it gets rough. We are not experienced swimmers so we pretty much didn’t get in the water when the waves are rough.4. The property is well equipped from the kitchen standpoint but had some basic items missing or in short supply like paper towels, toiletries etc. I reached out to the owner and she was nice enough to drop off some toiletries the next day.5. Hot water is not automatic so please ask the owners on how to turn it on.Highly recommend this property and have already forward to many friends to visit.
    The entire experience from the moment we found the property and inquired about it Emma made so much easier by responding as fast as accurately all of our questions. The space and all the amenities in the house made it even more satisfying. We had to reach out to her and sure enough she was prompt and of course accurate to address the issues.
    We’ve travelled a lot of different places and stayed in a lot of different VRBOs. This place is absolutely one of our top 3! Seriously one of the most underrated properties on the site. The views are gorgeous. The beach is the tiniest walk from the house. The pool is amazing. We had two families with 6 kids ranging from 6 to 16. There was a ping pong tournament going around the clock. Every bedroom has a full bath. There is a half bath on the main level and another full bath outside by the pool. The kitchens made it super easy to prep meals. Both kitchens have just about any item you could want or need. Beds were comfy. The host, Emma (I believe that was her name), was superb! We didn’t have any problems at all but I did have several questions and she answered everything right away. 10/10 would absolutely stay again. Worst part of the experience was having to leave.
    We had an incredible stay! The house is beautiful with an incredible view. The pool was the perfect size for splashing around with children. The beautiful beach is just a five minute walk down the road and while we were there had very few people! While we were there the beach did have some waves which were fun for the adults but you have to be a little careful with the little ones. Our host was extremely responsive and helpful with any request we had. The house has 2 kitchens and is stocked with all the equipment you could need. Short drives around the area reveal more incredible views. We had small kids and did a short trip to a nearby nature reserve called Punta Tuna Wetlands nature reserve and we highly recommend it. It has a short walk and another beautiful, easily accessible, practically deserted beach. Overall our stay was perfect, with the pool, the beach, the views and an open and airy house there wasn’t much else to ask for!
    First time being in Puerto Rico and fell in LOVE! Emma was such a great help and allowing us into her home was a blessing. From beginning to end she was there for us. Literally a phone call away to answer anything. The house is beautiful the views are breath taking and a great place to be when visiting the island. I will definitely be back and will love to rent the home again. Pool is amazing my boys loved every minute of it. I couldn’t get them out. Beach is a quick walk from the house and is beautiful. My overall experience here was amazing and one to remember. Thank you Emma for making my first trip one to remember. Can’t wait to come back!!! Worth EVERY PENNY!!!

    Location is great, 10 minute walk to Old San Juan. Condo unit was spacious, modern, and had excellent views of the ocean and the city.
    The condo is beautiful and had everything we needed!
    Waking up to ocean views was amazing. The unit was well designed with a stylish and luxurious vibe. The building was secure and the location was convenient to lots of points of interest.
    This was a great place for us to stay. We wanted to see some Old San Juan and have quick access to explore the rest of the island. The lobby staff for the building were very friendly and helpful. The unit was as described and the owners were always available for any questions we had. Parking was convenient for our rental car during the trip.
    My family and I went to Puerto Rico for our daughter’s 7th birthday and it was worth it. We did and saw so many but we also made sure to take one day and just enjoy the condo because we would have been upset if we didn’t.The condo is an experience!!! From the moment you walk in it feels like a cool bruise hit you. The decor, light and airy, not over the top, tropically influenced just right, it was a seductive getaway for my husband and I but a perfect adventure getaway for our (now) 7 and 5 year olds. The photos on the website didn’t tell any lies at all!The building is very safe and well maintained and the front desk staff extremely help at all times. The uber driver from the airport knew exactly where we were going, If you don’t feel like venturing off far, you can walk 2 mins to the beach and even less to near by restaurants. Doordash had no issue finding us either. I don’t know if i would walk around the area at night, just because of minimal lighting, but the apartment building is right across the street from a US Naval Station, so traffic on that street can be pretty frequent.We made complete use of the kitchen, especially for my son that isn’t to adventurous with new foods. We baked several times as well.The view is breath taking to say the least.The condo was extremely clean. We were able to meet the cleaning tech when we left. She is a sweet lady, beautiful soul, very pleasant with the children, and actually cleans. Not just straighten out the bed, but she washed all the linen in the laundry machine and was mopping the floors. We all know some places don’t clean as they should, that is not the case here. Especially in a pandemic, this was great to see. Communication with the homeowners was on point and once we opened the vacation binder, we really didn’t need to speak to them til check out. Everything was explained in great detail about the island and the apartment. It was like Puerto Rico for dummies lol!I intend on returning. I may go by myself. It is literally great for families or a solo vacation.We were very blessed to experience the island this way. Thanks Lauren and Mike. God Bless.(pardon any typos, im rushing while typing)

    The host Adam was/is everything! He is very friendly and makes you feel like you’re his family! He made sure we had what we needed and recommended places of interest when we were looking! The property was more than what pictures can show so that really was a pleasant surprise! And if you are a lover of nature, you will love this property!
    This was a great house for a family reunion where the focus of the trip is spending time together. We took turns cooking meals and eating together, alternating dinners outdoors with meals around the dining room table. The best part was having coffee on the porch above the clouds, which form a soft blanket over the valley. When the sun burns it off, you have an amazing view of the reservoir which then twinkles with light at night.
    This house met all of our needs for such a large group and what an amazing view!! Adam was very quick about responding and made sure our stay was great. The place was clean and very comfortable even with 27 people. I would highly recommend this place for small or large groups!
    I recently used this home for my group of 17 medical students and professionals. This is the second large group of 2019 I have brought to Puerto Rico and both times we stayed at this beautiful home. This home is perfect for my large groups because it provides privacy, comfort, and Adam and Cathy work very hard to accommodate our every need. The house was extremely clean and well prepared to receive my group of 17. My group was blown away by the comfort and beauty of the home and of course the incredible view! The privacy is extremely important to me personally as I am responsible for the safety of all of my groups. The home is very private and secure and to be honest, we felt as if we had the entire mountain to ourselves. There is no other place I would rather take my large groups. I look forward to staying at this house again very soon!
