Beautiful location

We found this property to be just right! It was tucked back enough off of a main road that it felt private/secluded, but also only about 10 minutes from the grocery store and restaurants. Dale was a fantastic host, he welcomed us upon arrival and was available for any concerns/questions during our stay.

Location location location

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. It’s exactly as described and basically right next to the beach. The beach is miles long. Take a left from the house and see cool old boats that have been shipwrecked along your walk. Take a right and walk maybe 30 minutes to Joni’s beach with a bunch of restaurants on the beach. Also - a must eat at is Ola Lola’s about a 10 minute walk away. Everything is basically 10 minutes away (groceries etc). House has everything you need to cook any meal. We loved it!

Paradise in Puerto Rico

I have been to Puerto Rico many times, but this was the first time I stayed in Isabela PR, and it quickly became one of my favorite cities on the Island! Dale was a great host super friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions that may have come up. Dale’s place was an amazing experience, and lovely home in a great location!

Great accommodations and location

This was our second time at this property for good reason. The apartments have everything you need for your stay and are only steps from the beach. Plus, it's only a short walk down the beach to a fancy restaurant and bar. We have stayed in both the bottom apartment and top. We preferred the top floor due to the view.

3 Nights on Shacks Beach

My family spent 3 nights in this house just off the beach and had a great time. The 3 bedroom property was spacious for all 6 of us and provided everything you could need. All neccessary appliances, dishes, towels and comforts were provided. Communication with Dale before, during and after the stay was easy and responsive. Here are some of our highlights: What we liked: - the house was very clean and well stocked - right off an amazing beach - easy check-in/out process - a/c and fans in all rooms - outside showers to remove sand - very close to anything you could need - quiet and private If we could change anything: - the beds are extremely firm - the entrance to the bathroom is slightly raised and tiles are same color causing a trip hazard - saw 2 roaches on counter during stay. Recognize close proximity to water can cause this because property is immaculate. - parking can be tight if you have a vehicle with 3rd row. I suggest backing in. Overall, we really enjoyed the location and ability to enjoy the beach. Swimming and snorkeling were amazing. No complaints and would stay again.

Beautiful spot

The place was just as described. We were so comfy that we just wanted to stay in the balcony enjoying the magnificent view. The host provided amenities which made our stay more comfortable. The beach beautiful. The only thing that made uncomfortable was the bathroom window doesn’t have a any drapes, therefore, if someone goes downstairs or is in the upper balcony is able to see you while you are bathing.

Great Location and Great House

Highly recommended! Dale was an outstanding host, gave us recommendations and was super-prompt responding to questions and requests before and during our stay. The property is immaculate and steps from the beach. There are multiple units in the building, but plenty of privacy. We could see the ocean from our second-story unit. Well-stocked kitchen included various spices, oils, etc. and there was a variety of beach equipment (body boards, chairs, floaties, etc.). There's a great restaurant just a few steps down the beach at the resort next door. Other than that resort, the beach is pretty untrammeled, very few people we largely had it to ourselves and it's amazing.

Just steps away from the beach, great stay in Isabela.

I didn’t want to leave! Dale was easy to work with, knowledgeable on the area and gave us great day trip recommendations. The house is just steps from Shacks Beach (snorkeling or surfing). I enjoyed spending time on the porch/balcony which has an ocean view. Clean house with everything you need including a full kitchen. We slept with the windows open and enjoyed hearing the ocean at night. Quick drive to other beaches or restaurants in the area, plus parking is convenient at the house. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful house/property in a beautiful setting

A wonderfully peaceful and beautiful setting to spend any time just steps from the beach on the beautiful coast of northeastern Puerto Rico. The owner, Dale, couldn’t be more accommodating and welcoming. He was very helpful in helping us settle in and made us feel at home. Couldn’t have asked for a better beach getaway.

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 to continue to further improve the property. I guarantee you that you will not find better, cleaner, nicer and 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.
