Perfect first trip to Puerto Rico

The property is tucked in a small gated community right on the beach. It is quiet and the beach is beautiful. The property of itself has a ton of amenities and the host were very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. It was our first trip to the Island and my mom’s birthday and our host left her a a thoughtful birthday token. We were not far from local eateries and then about an 40-60 minutes from San Juan or old San Juan. We rented a car but also took Uber as well. We will definitely be back. Everything was clean and smelled good I normally don’t sleep all that great on vacation but definitely did not have any trouble while in Luquillo!! Thank you Linda and Rafael for a sweet introduction to the island and making us feel welcomed.

Perfect Vacation

We had a lovely first time to PR vacation. Our hosts were amazing, celebrating our daughter's birthday and appreciated all the thoughtful welcome surprises! Beach was an A+ Condo was clean and well stocked. Great roof top views! Our favorite place to eat close by was Panderri (best coffee in my life) and C Notes for dinner and live music. The rainforest was a short drive away. Kiosks were interesting-Revolution Pizza delish. We would definately come back for sun and fun. Thank You Linda & Rafael

A Slice of Paradise

We had the most unbelievable Easter break here at Punta Bandera! Linda and Rafa are the most gracious hosts. They were communicative before, throughout, and even after our stay. They left an Easter basket for our kids with thoughtful gifts, a welcome basket with fresh fruits and treats, and even some local beer to enjoy. The beaches all over the north side of the island had been experiencing some bad rip currents and we were scared we wouldn't be able to enjoy the water, but the waters here are very shallow and the waves break at least a couple hundred yards out, making the waters safe to enjoy swimming and even snorkeling. They have so much beach equipment, you wouldn't need to bring a thing. Chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, coolers, a wagon, and lots more! I never made it to the bottom of the huge bin to name it all. We thoroughly enjoyed the condo. Plenty of room to relax after a long beach day, especially with the entire rooftop at your disposal. My husband spent every morning and every night up there. Wifi works great, cell service is no problem, and very close to a lot of restaurants and stores if you should need it. It was such a relaxing and fun trip, we cannot wait to go back to this slice of paradise!

Super apartment.

Linda, Rafael and their property manager Berto are the most kind and caring hosts we can imagine.We feel very much at home in their big apartment where you can always find a good place to stay. We learn about puertorican food from all the gifts they have found and made ready for us in a basket. We will be back next year.

Luquillo Penthouse Condo

This property is a 10/10 and so are the hosts Rafael and Linda! Best VRBO we have ever stayed in. Welcome note and basket of goodies and drinks in the fridge was so nice. I could have left many things at home because they were supplied at the condo. The rooftop patio was so nice-the view of El Yunque and the ocean made it so special. We don’t normally plan to repeat trips but this one we will. We can’t wait to come back again.

Wonderful Stay!

We has a great first visit to PR and this place was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teens.) It is located on a gorgeous, calm beach right next to a natural area, so you can walk along the tranquil shore and relax. The apartment is spacious and lovely, with everything you could need for your stay provided by the very gracious hosts, including lots of extras that not every host provides. The rooftop deck is a very large and comfortable place to enjoy the tropical breeze. Highly recommend this property!

Best place to stay in Luquillo

The hosts were nothing less than amazing. We arrived to a fridge full of refreshments and fruit in addition to an amazing gift basket. Communication was great and the property is amazing. The rooftop is a great place to hang out at night. The proximity to the beach cannot be beat. They include all the little things you wish other VRBOs would do. It was the little touches along with great owners who made sure our stay was great that made the difference. We will be booking this again.

Beautiful Luquillo apartment

We had a wonderful stay at Rafa and Linda's apartment. It is a perfect set up for a 3-4 person group. They had everything you could need for your stay. We enjoyed spending our downtime on the rooftop terrace. We appreciated that the apartment had air conditioning in the main level because it was quite hot most days we were there. This apartment is in a great location. You are right on the beach, close to Luquillo Beach, not far from El Yunque Rainforest, the Bio Bay in Laguna Grande and under an hour for a trip to San Juan. Linda and Rafa answered any questions I had during our stay. They took great care of us. Thank you so much for helping us make amazing memories!

Perfect Beach Vacation

I can't say enough about the property and the hosts. They are both amazing and had though of pretty much everything to make the stay comfortable. The property had all the amenities needed for duration of our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with different pots & pans, cutlery and dinnerware. The real crown jewel is the location of this property, where you are steps away from the beach. Those morning and evening walks and breeze from the sea is awesome.

Sunscreen and bug spray, beach towels and beach toys (snorkels, wave boards) provided. The hosts even provided coffee, milk, juuce and snacks! It was a bit difficult to find in the dark when we first arrived, but just keep going when the road turns. The hosts also provided great info about activities and places to go which we found useful.

Fabulous Stay!

We had a fantastic time here and it was perfect for our 1yo and 3yo. They had everything we needed including a sweet welcome basket and some food basics as well as some brand new toys for our kids. The roof top is amazing and we spent so much time there. The beach here is shallow and calm but Luquillo beach which is better for swimming is a walk or short drive away and the food kiosks there are great. It’s also so close to El Yunque. We’d love to come back and are recommending this place to family and friends. Thanks for a great stay!

One of the best VRBO’s we have stayed in! Rafael and Linda treat you like family, when we arrived they had local snacks and fruit for us, the condo is stocked with anything you could possibly need to cook, relax and enjoy a day at the beach. It’s very clean and well kept, bed was comfortable. We enjoyed espresso machine every morning and roof top patio is an awesome space to relax. We have stayed in Luquillo a few times and really enjoyed this location due to easy access to beach and short walk to town. We hope to return again soon!

An absolute gem!

I can't say enough about this place! We loved our stay. I wanted a place that had easy access to the beach and the rainforest. Little did I know that we'd have a view of each of those from our rooftop patio. Look to the left and there is the beach, and look to the right and there is El Yunque. Our hosts were amazing and responsive, even leaving a little welcome package for our arrival. I give this rental a 10 out of 10 and look forward to returning.

Pura Vida is a beautiful property with amazing views of the rain forest and beach from the rooftop. We rarely used the AC because of the wonderful breeze coming in off of the ocean. The place is equipped with everything you need for the beach, cooking, bathing and relaxing in the condo. I would definitely seek out Pura Vida for another trip to Luquillo!

A quiet place with EVERYTHING we needed, and them some!

Our trip to Puerto Rico could not have gone much better, and this is taking into account that we were delayed leaving Chicago by the December winter storms. Our hosts, Linda and Rafael were simply the best. They were never more than a text away and super responsive if we has any questions. When we finally arrived to the apartment (at nearly 2am) we were surprised to find a welcome basket waiting for us with an assortment of treats and a couple of very welcome items in the fridge. They had also left a very well thought out binder with information on the apartment, the local area and Puerto Rico in general. We adjusted our plans based on some of the information in those binders. The apartment was PERFECT for our needs. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms were well sized and we never felt cramped. The kitchen was beyond what we could have hoped for, and we've seen some iffy ones in the past. Rafael and Linda have stocked a very tastefully updated kitchen with everything you could need. All of the kitchen implements, utensils, service-ware and appliances were super clean. The state-of-the art washer and dryer meant we could have even packed lighter than we did. The private rooftop space was great as well. Nice views, nice breezes, and all of the items we needed for the beach. Thank you Linda and Rafael for the wonderful place! We will recommend you to anyone considering a visit to PR!!!

Everything was amazing

Communication began very soon after we booked and a few times between booking up to arrival. On the day prior to arrival, Rafael made sure we had the pertinent info for check in. Check in was great. Berto showed us around. The place was beautiful. Our trip was in November so the condos had few people there. The condo was spacious and plenty of supplies were provided. My youngest son was turning 12 while we were there. A Happy Birthday banner was hung, a cake and gift provided. Lots of literature was available about restaurants and activities. The kitchen was fully stocked. We didn't cook much but we should have and we certainly could have. The highlight of the condo was the rooftop. I could've just sat up there the entire time and been content. There is a room that can be closed off or opened up. Lots of seating, a hammock. plenty of beach chairs and toys, a grill and more were available. There was a quick walk to the private beach. The water right there was very shallow and grassy so my kids did not enjoy it as much because they wanted waves. But you could stroll down the beach in either direction for more space and a little deeper water. All in all, the stay was great. I'd love to return.
