It was truly a "Nature Lover's Escape." Julius and Sylvia were amazing hosts and gave so many great recommendations for our stay. We had a private beach and access to the nature preserve for hiking, fishing, birding which was amazing. The house was clean, comfortable and spacious. Shopping and great food are near by. The best part was nature all around... trees, birds, wildlife. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

The house and the location were lovely and fit our needs very well. Being able to walk to the beach was great as were the many beaches close by. Restaurants and a local market were also within 5-10 minutes and were very reasonable. The backyard was very nice and being right next to the preserve was beautiful.

Very welcoming concierge who helped us in a couple of ways (dining recommendations, locating the unit in the dark, and when we had to mail back one of the keys we accidental took home with us). Good space in the house - more than enough for the 4 of us. We got to see a great show by the iguana one morning from the back deck - so cool. Walking to the nature preserve was so convenient.

fantastic location and helpful owner

This home is in a fantastic location. If you are looking for peace and quiet, close to nature and access to the beach this is the place. The owner and property manager were easy to reach and very responsive. Check in was easy. If you stay here make sure to go to Marejadas (right outside the entrance) for breakfast or brunch and Daniel's for dinner.

Def for nature lovers. I liked the back yard more than the rest of the place.

The owner was super nice and ready to accommodate - didn’t have a hair dryer - so bring your own if that’s important. It’s kind of reminiscent of indoor camping. We didn’t use the kayaks we drove to the rainforest instead. I’d say if you want an authentic trip and feel for the southeast side of PR it’s a good first stop. There’s a Walmart close by and a few local little bars.

Great family vacation

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The house had all we needed! It was a bit different than our impression from the listing as it was in a subdivision with houses right next to it on both sides. Not that this was so bad but for some reason I had thought it was gonna be a bit more secluded. My children really enjoyed the pool and my wife and I enjoyed drinking coffee in the mornings under the gazebo in the backyard and walking down to the beach and watching the sunrise over the bay. The house keeper was very easy to message and responded quickly for the things we needed.

Nature lover’s paradise

Perfect place for families! Very private and peaceful gated neighborhood. We didn’t see more than 6 people in a week! The back yard is amazing and directly boarders the Humacao nature preserve. The pool was absolutely wonderful, especially since there were riptide warnings for the entire week. We walked the beach every morning and watched the sunrises and pelicans diving for fish and relaxed in hammocks under the palm trees in the afternoon. Hiked the trails in the nature preserve and fished in the lagoons. This is truly the place for nature lovers! I would highly recommend this property.

Cute vacation home

The vacation home met our expectations. There was plenty of space for two adults, one 18-year-old, and two children to comfortably sleep and hang out. The air conditioning was powerful enough to combat the Puerto Rican heat and we were very comfortable. The property was inviting and the pool, once it was topped off to combat evaporation and we bought a skimmer to remove the mosquitoes each morning, was a good size and very enjoyable. The outdoor sitting area overlooking the edge of the nature preserve was lovely, and a great place to observe the large iguana who came out to feed on the mangoes and breadfruit that fell from the trees in the yard. 10am seemed to be iguana breakfast time. For our own meals, there was a delicious restaurant, Las Olas, right outside the main gate that we loved.

Nice location near the beach

The property manage sent driving directions early, but not the directions/code to get into the property. Those were sent the day of travel, but we traveled from 2AM until 10P, so we didn’t get them. The owner was very responsive when I called. He connected me with the manager & eventually she let us in, explained the property & addressed our questions. The next day some of our group left. 2 hours later the property’s electricity was turned off. (Our member at the house was making dinner.) After a quick text, it was turned back on. The home is a block from a very lovely beach and a nice hiking area. There are restaurants within walking distance. It is convenient to shopping/groceries & the freeway.

Good a/c, Wi-Fi & warm water

Overall, we had a good stay. I feel like the property description is a bit inaccurate. The pool is shared with the property owner next door and can only be used between sunrise and sunset. The laundry facilities are actually at the owners home, which is next-door, and can only be used between sunrise and sunset. That is a bit difficult when a family of six is on vacation and has activities during the daytime hours. I was very disappointed about not having access to laundry facilities when I needed them. The property is older, but was clean with good AC, Wi-Fi, and plenty of warm water. We were very grateful for that. The host was helpful and attentive to our needs.

Older Concrete Home

You are staying at a concrete home as most of the homes are in Puerto Rico. It is in a gated community about 100yds from Punta Santiago beach. Beautiful subdivision. This house backs up to a nature reserve(As we call it in South MS, a swamp). It has water in it that is extremely muddy.(We did stay in July, so I don't know what the water looks like at other times of the year). We had only 5 people in the house but It can easily sleep 10 people. The home needs a little TLC but was perfect for us. Walmart is about 4 or 5 miles away. From this location you can easily travel to the mountains or other local beaches. The host was very attentive to what ever we needed.. Now the most important question is, Would I stay there again? Yes would love to stay there again and probably will try in the future

Paradise

Our stay was wonderful, it was just myself and my 16 year old son. My son as many teenagers was less into activities and more into hanging out at the house relaxing. The home itself is quite spacious, we wanted a pool and the nature trails and therefore went bigger than needed, this home could easily fit a much larger family. The house was clean, quite comfortable, had everything we needed, the check in process was very easy. I stayed in touch with Sylvia here and there with questions and she was amazing, always sure to respond promptly. The pool was very refreshing on those hot days after wandering around the trails behind the property. The nearby reserve is literally your backyard. I spent a great deal of time hanging out with the lizards and taking photos of all the beauty around me. This is the first vacation in a long time that I felt truly relaxed and this was in big part this beautiful home. Thank you so much for having us!

Nature lovers paradise!

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for us. The air conditioning was awesome after long days in the sun. We would sit at the table each night playing cards or monopoly before going to bed. Plenty of out door seating. Having the grill was very nice for dinners. The pool was fun and relaxing. Being from Indiana when we saw lizards or iguanas in the yard we would all run for our cameras every time. I spent every morning sitting on the patio drinking coffee watching the birds and turtles in the lagoon. There is a number of restaurants in the area all with great food. The beech was fun for walks and trying to catch the little crabs that scurry around the rocks. We spent a lot of time in Fajardo, which is just a short drive. This is where we walked the rainforest and swam in the clear and very warm river. There are also great beaches for snorkeling and boogie boarding. We will definitely be back. Thanks Julius!

Great for Extended family

This house was great for our extended family of 8 adults and 3 children, ages three and under. It was just as pictured, older but exceptionally clean, and the beach REALLY is a short walk. If you want the feel of a resort, driving a golf cart to the beach, sharing a pool with strangers after you've carried all your gear down an elevator, this is NOT the place for you. But if you want a feel of the island, kayaks and beach gear at your disposal in the garage ( and not rented be the 1/2 hour), and a crystal clear pool just steps from the back door and surrounded by a nature preserve ( beware of ant bites) then this IS for you. We had only 2 problems : 1) openers/keys -we had 3 rental cars and needed a second gate opener which Nancy, the terrific concierge, quickly resolved, and we made 2 more sets of keys and 2) internet service via an extender did not work. Nancy came by and checked it, but it was a more technical problem than just resetting. Enjoy your stay!

Disappointed

My family and I enjoyed PR, but were overall disappointed w the property. Beds were very uncomfortable, not enough bed linens- I actually had to go purchase extra blankets and then leave them behind because of suitcase room! We were expected to wash all the dishes, but not given adequate dish soap or papertowels. Also had to purchase more toilet paper and paper towels- things that should have been supplied. Working outlets were hard to find, the yard had dog poo and a broken fence that ultimately fell down during our stay. We made the best of our stay, and appreciated the kayak availability- but more negatives than positives for the money I spent.
