The 1st floor unit has been completely remodeled and is modern, clean and comfortable. The kitchen has custom African Mahogany cabinets and granite counter tops. The unit has its own living area with outside covered porch with sitting and lounging area and african mahogany bar top. The property is perfectly situated to accommodate 1 or 2 families, friends or wedding parties traveling together as we also have a separate 2nd floor 3 bedroom rental. The property has a whole house generator to ensure your comfort 24/7. The grounds are surrounded with colorful tropical fauna and flora inside a private walled compound. Professional landscape lighting illuminates the tropical gardens after dark. Parking is available on site for 1 vehicle per rental unit or 2 vehicles if you are renting 5 bedrooms or both the 1st floor and 2nd floor units.

The best part of Shacks Beach is the diversity of activity within a short walking distance from Villa Sol a Sol.

The Shacks area has quality surf breaks for surfing or paddle boarding and wave sailing for kite surfing or wind surfing. There are many other world class surf breaks close by.

Nice little Shack Beach stay

Location was excellent - steps from Shacks Beach and around the corner is Ola Lola's Cafe (which I highly recommend). There are two bedrooms on the first floor - one is separate from the main kitchen/bathroom/living room which makes it nice to have a little seclusion if you want it. I enjoyed the hammock and the cute decor around the property. There is an outdoor shower and laundry line for wet stuff as well as beach chairs and an umbrella. Just make sure you bring your own beach towels or buy some- the only towels available are for shower only. There is a grill out back that works really well and the owner keeps it ready for use. Overall, it was a nice, cute little stay and very clean.

Amazing Location

This place was not only clean and aesthetically appealing, but well stocked and accommodating. We had everything we needed for a perfect beach vacation. Steps from the beach with chairs and coolers to borrow as well as outdoor showers. We had everything we could have ever needed as far as amenities inside the unit as well. Everything from food, other beaches, nightlife and outdoor recreational activities were nearby and easy to get to. We had a wonderful time at Villa Sol a Sol with a great host to give us guidance, recommendations and a comfortable environment.

A perfect getaway

The property met all of the needs of my family. We spent most of our trip visiting area beaches and attractions and it was great to have a comfy home to come back too. The location is easy to get to and not far away from plenty of dining options. It was also steps away from the beach so we were able to take walks and relax. Dale was available to answer questions at any time, which was great. An overall splendid experience.

Great space and location

Very comfortable stay with Dale. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. There are loads of little touches that make the stay even better -- an outdoor shower and surfboard rack, beach chairs, a clothes line, etc. The location is fantastic, it's the second home from Shacks Beach, and very convenient for the surfing beaches of Aguadilla and Isabela. Dale's communication is great and he was very accommodating. The wifi was fast enough for working over zoom. I'd happily stay again.

Great location

We had a great stay. Dale was very attentive. We stayed in his lower level. One of the bedrooms in the listing has a separate entrance. We didn’t mind because our kids are older. The beach is beautiful and just a few steps away. We would stay again!

Walk to water

Such an ideal, well maintained apartment! Outside has a shower, place to store surf boards, grassy area for a lawn game, and patio seating shaded with lovely landscaping. The indoor temp was quite comfortable (temperature) the kitchen area has several unique small appliances and the living area has durable furniture. Bedrooms have firm mattresses, shelves, storage, and AC units. The apt is literally steps from the ocean and perfect for an evening walk. Isabela seemed to be a quaint, quiet area to visit while we were there. I appreciated Dale's friendliness and respect for our questions.

Dale was incredibly gracious, very helpful, attentive and accommodating. Wonderful location, beautiful beach, quiet neighborhood. Incredibly relaxing we could not have asked for more.

Places are very hard to find in Puerto Rico but owner sends the location and makes it super easy to find. Beautiful place to stay and beach is easy to get to. If we ever visit Isabela again we will stay at this house again.

Great place to stay!

I really enjoyed staying at this property! In Isabela for a wedding, this property was closer to the wedding venue than I’d thought, so the location for me was great. The property itself was within a very short walking distance to the beach, and was very clean. I especially loved the outdoor space which had plenty of chairs and a grass area. Overall I loved staying here and would absolutely consider staying again if ever back in Isabela.

A great place close to it all, but far enough away from the crowds. Surf spots were close by. Beach at Shacks is lovely. Great snorkeling. Dale has everything set up for your convenience and enjoyment. He is super friendly and helpful. We will be back! Paradise!

Great Shacks Beach property

This is an excellent choice for Shacks Beach lodging. Dale is a wonderful host and keeps the property tidy and well organized. The listing is not exaggerating when they say steps front the beach. It’s literally about 20 feet away. Great property and highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Dale Martin

Host profile image
I have been traveling and wintering in Puerto Rico for over 20 years. I love this area for its beauty, people and the awesome ocean right out the front door. I am an active waterman participating in surfing, kite surfing, paddle boarding, foil boarding, snorkeling and swimming. All of the activities can be performed in the world class ocean conditions here in Puerto Rico. I can't think of a better place to live and play.

Why they chose this property

Through my years of traveling to this beautiful area of Puerto Rico I have rented many different properties. In doing so I have experienced both good and bad aspects of various properties here. Before buying this property in 2011 I complied a list and understanding of what features make a property exceptional for vacationing. In remodeling this property I have incorporated features in my rentals that set them apart from others in the area. Moreover, every summer since I acquired the property I have set aside time each summer to continue to accomplish projects that further improve the property. I guarantee you that you will not find better, cleaner, nicer or attractive property than mine at this price.

What makes this property unique

Ocean views, 30 steps to the beach, clean, neat comfortable, safe and beautiful. Best snorkeling in Puerto Rico. Best wave sailing the Caribbean. Many world class surf breaks out back and close by. Excellant paddle boarding break right out back. Empty beaches. Exceptional dining at Villa Montana Resort 50 yards away. Ocean front horseback riding via Tropical Trail Rides a short walk down the street. Aguadilla airport minutes away. Great grocery store, local farmers market, reasonable and good restaurants close by. Whole house generator so you spend your vacation in comfort not in the dark. Trust me I have all the bases covered because I live here too and I want you to continue to return to my property as do many of my guests.
