A little taste of heaven.

This was a little taste of heaven. The doors open onto the veranda and provide a nice sea breeze for the grand open main room. Our little granddaughter, who was just a year and a few months old, was able to toddle out on the nice veranda by herself safely because the balcony is done so nicely. We were there for several days. The first night, the air conditioner did not work in one of the bedrooms, and the owners were very responsive to working that out for us by the next day. The only issue is that most nights we stayed, the back bedrooms had noise up until about 1 am from a party or a bar, but we never did figure out which. We used earplugs. That is not under the landlord's control, but it did lessen the experience. Overall, we loved the place. And it was well worth the price.

You will not regret staying here!

We stayed in this wonderful place for two weeks, and it was not long enough! The beach is wonderful, and shallow for a long ways which made it perfect for kids. The house is stunning with plenty of room! Located near the rainforest, and a few other fun outings! This is a must stay for anyone!!

Good for our large group

We had two adult couples, two older adults, and one teenager. The size of the beach house worked great for us. I would rate the rental borderline between 3 and 4 stars. The kitchen and supplies were good. The rooms were good to okay. The linens on my daughter's bed were a little musty and we washed them the morning of our second day. The washer and dryer are nice and were used for clothes also. The beach toys/equipment were nice. We used the boogie boards more than the kayaks. The beach was covered in seaweed which was unfortunate but what can you do? The thing about that that I did not like was that a lot of organic material was stirred up in the water so it was dark and not the clear blue water that I had hoped for. I can't fault the rental for this but it is good to know if you are looking into staying here. A few things need a little maintenance, nothing big, some of the windows do not open, door handles are loose, etc. The location worked well for us. We took a trip to Vieques for the bio bay and also road horses while we were over there. The ferry is close and inexpensive. We also did a zipline tour at El Yunque rainforest. The main room gets a little warm even with everything open (no AC) and we are from Texas. The bedrooms cool down and we had no trouble sleeping. We caught baby iguanas from the lot next door. My daughter played with them and we put them back :) I would stay here again.

Awesome location!

We LOVED the location right on the beach. However, there were many little things that made our stay less than perfect. First, there were no instructions on how to work the master bath shower; feather pillows on all beds were flat and made me sneeze all night; one bed was broken and held up by a cinder block; the single square fan had a broken blade; light bulbs were burnt out; a window pane randomly shattered one morning; but most irksome was when the power went out and we tried to reach the owner to ask about a generator or candles or any alternative light source- owners were very slow to respond, no generator (on an island!!), no candles, and the single flashlight they said we could use had dead batteries. Other than these things, the beds were comfortable, the view was unbeatable, the ocean breeze was amazing, and the location relative to activities and other beaches was just right.

The Photographer's Got Talent!

Let me first start by saying that the description of the property is accurate. Everything you see listed, is there. Everything you need while at the house, is there. Now, if you're accustomed to staying in resorts (as we are), YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED! Let's just say, the photographer that took the pictures for this property earned every dime. The beds were very comfortable, however the bedroom with the bunkbeds smells moldy. The window sill in the back bathroom is filthy, moldy, or both. The patio overlooking the beach is where we spent most of our time. The rails are broken due to corrosion in some spots so be careful when leaning against them. The Beach.....utter disappointment. We woke up with plans for a morning walk and were again reminded "this ain't no resort". The trash and garbage to the right of the property is disgusting. The opposite direction isn't bad;but not every owner takes care of their property. The house sits at the end of the block and people were driving back there to access the beach. Not Cool. The neighborhood - well let's say it might not be a good idea to walk around after dark. There are small neighborhood restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. Good food, nice people. You will want to brush up on your Spanish to make ordering easier. Overall, my family had a good time as we always do. The property didn't affect that. It just wasn't what we're used to, and based on the photos, expecting more...shall I say, polish.

Family Vacation with Kayaks

Communication with the host was excellent, and he worked to solve our issues quickly, That said, we did walk into the aftermath of a break-in which just meant broken glass near one window and some dresser drawers pulled out—not a big deal and somewhat common in Puerto Rico. The only thing apparently missing was an XBox. It was solved the next day, and there were no further issues. We used all three kayaks available to get to La Isla de Mono (Monkey Island) which was awesome! It took at least an hour to get there due to paddling directly against the wind. It takes less than half an hour to get back. The waves are small so any amateur could break through the surf. Groceries, kiosks and bars are within walking distance. It’s also within a one hour drive of Ceiba (water tours), Fajardo (bio bay) and San Juan. Would stay here again.

lovely quiet place, a piece of paradise

The house was clean, location as described. We loved the view and the house was well maintained. Would love to come back again and use more of the amenities. An upgrade of fans in the great room would be helpful since there is no air in that area. (The mattresses in the bunk room need updating- something I was told after our stay by my adult kids.) Staff that arrived to clean on our way out were so pleasant and kind. Owner responded to a text right away.

Great spot, so relaxing

We had a great time, lots of napping and reading and boardgames, house has everything you could need and beautifully located, although the beach had a lot of stuff washed up on it since we were just weeks post the hurricane. We had a hiccup on checking in, but everything else was stellar. Would absolutely come back.

Perfect beach front location for family !!!

Our family felt like we were at home in your house. The location was perfect for us to see other places on the island, and helped us decide that the beach by the house was the best beach we encountered on our trip. We are all looking forward to next spring, and spending more beautiful fun filled days on the beach.

Absolutely beautiful location! We loved the place and all the amenities. It is away from all the tourist areas, but yet close enough to drive to anywhere you would like to go. The view and beach were amazing and very relaxing. The house could use some TLC, but for the time we spent in the house (to eat and sleep) it was perfect. Jose was very helpful and responded quickly as needed.

Great home next to the Beach

House was very comfortable, stocked with all the amenities; wifi, tv, air conditioning, laundry room, new kitchen, comfortable beds, great porch overlooking the ocean. Yard was large and parking was covered. It was a little difficult to find (owner was super helpful) and the area shows a lot of storm damage but it was safe and very quiet. Locals were very friendly as was the owner. Beach is great for walking/running. Location is 30-60 mins from main attractions (beaches, Yunque Rainforest, etc.). Highly recommend the jet ski tour in Carolina.

Beach house okay for sleeping but nothing much more to enjoy in the immediate area.

The home needs some updating. We could not enjoy the beach because of the seaweed. Even though we got the house because of the beach access we had to travel out to different beaches to enjoy the Caribbean beaches. There was no Sandy beach. Nothing but wet sand with seaweed and so many bugs on the seaweed. The beds were very comfortable and air in the bedrooms was much needed and appreciated.

Wonderful stay at the Beach House in Punta Santiago

Stayed for 11 days at this big beautiful home right on the beach in Punta Santiago. The house was well stocked with everything one would need for a very comfortable stay. Jose was easy to reach and responded quickly to text messages. The location was great; grocery store, restaurants in walking distance from the house. The people we met were very friendly and made our stay very memorable. We would love to stay at the Beach house again, and thank Jose and Lorraine for allowing us to stay in their beautiful home.

Location. Location. Location.

Pro’s: absolutely beautiful location. Could remain here for your entire vacation and truly feel relaxed and as if you have missed nothing of Puerto Rico’s beaches, friendly locals, great food, nightlife, flora and fauna. Neighbors and neighborhood are friendly and very welcoming. Adequately equipped for cooking light meals at home, VERY comfortable beds. Linens provided and every basic need covered. Great beach extras provided in the downstairs laundry room. Listers allowed for flexibility in check out time as able. Very grateful as our last flights out were very late in the day. Con’s: for some reason the listing was removed from VRBO the same day we arrived leaving us no contact availability to the property listers (was re-listed at the very end of our stay). My family arrived before me and I was unable to provide a number to call. After only 20 minutes or so, the neighbor walked over to open up, provide keys and left but did not provide any other information. Not terrible, but confusing for my family. Our only form of available communication was through VRBO messaging which was slow (basically through emails). Kitchen is showing obvious signs of wear and tear (already reported to lister and it appears in earlier reviews that these listers are very responsive to any issue that may need to be addressed!). Be VERY careful on outside stairs and porch if they are wet!! They are incredibly slippery despite anti-slip strips on the edges of the stair runs. (Small landings have no anti-slip.)

WOW WOW WOW

What an amazing house. Right on the beach. On one side of the house you can see the mountains and the rainforest on the other you can see Vieques. It's in the cutest town with super friendly people. You can walk to restaurants and the market. The sound of the ocean was so peaceful and the breeze was perfect. Awesome kitchen and they have all of the stuff you could ever want for the beach and the WiFi is legit - I would stay here again in a heartbeat - so super tranquil and relaxing - great place to unwind and breath deeply. Jose was great and very on point. 10/10 I would rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Jose & Lorraine Rojas

We've been married for over 20 years and have 4 lovely children. She is originally from Delaware, US, first generation Italian and Jose is a Puerto Rico native .

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the house and the are during the 3 years we lived in Puerto Rico as a family of six. Slghtly off the beaten path but 10 minutes from a major highway. The views are mesmerizing and you will feel stress fall off you in layers as you sit on the balcony listening to and watching the rhythm of the gentle waves.
But that takes me 30 minutes, otherwise -we both love to go on long jogs to the south and up a hill to a WWII-era gun position that overlooks the whole area or we love to kayak to Monkey Island.

What makes this property unique

Beach is your back yard. Few other people. Will feel like you have a private beach!
The water is calm, shallow, and warm. Great for kids.
The area is an ecotourism destination! Preserves to the north and south.
The house is perfect for a large group. It is dominate by large common spaces: the porch, the open kitchen-living-dining room, and of course the beach.
Outstanding access from the highway and to any shops or grocery needs.
Walking distance to medium size supermarket, and local outdoor family-run restaurants, and outdoor bars
