Great Family Spot!

We had a great time at this comfortable and scenic beach house. We were a big group of 11 including several teens. We were able to spread out and everyone had a great time. The kitchen is spacious and the open layout was great for accommodating everyone as we had meals, played board games, and enjoyed family time. We would definitely return.

Great location to everything! The beach was beautiful and just down the beach is a river coming down from the rainforest. Its such a cool convergence. The Kioscos are very close and have the BEST food. El Yunque was beautiful. A must do for active families! Property manager made everything easy. Grocery store very near by. Loved our whole time there. The jacuzzi on the second level is a crazy luxurious experience.

Big House at Affordable Rate

Our family of 12 had great time in PR and the home served us well. We were able to cook breakfast each morning and cook a few dinners together. The rooms all had AC and were large enough to be comfortable for each couple. With one bedroom on the ground floor it was perfect for our elderly grandmother. Everything was old and a bit worn but serviceable, and when considering the price and the location on the beach we were grateful to have found this home. I would say the bed linens could use updating and the pictures on this website should be updated to reflect what the current conditions are. That being said, it would not have changed our decision to stay there but it would have reduced some of the sour feelings for some family members. Overall the home helped us have a great time, create wonderful memories and we would consider returning.

Great winter getaway

While it is true that the house could use some freshening up, it checked all of our boxes: enough beds, baths, kitchen supplies, indoor and outdoor seating, and working AC units….and a to die for view. We truly enjoyed our stay

Not good

The property manager is the ONLY good thing about this place. He was kind and helpful. Thank you Tato! Other than that this place is NOT what is listed as. When we got there there was pubic hair all over each bathroom toilets, shower, sink, etc. My family and I had to go to the store to grab cleaning supplies to clean the whole house. Disgusting! The overall conditions of the house are terrible, nothing like the pictures online. False advertisements at its best! The house looks like not a penny has been put into it for years and years. Its a shame because there is so much potential in this house. This is a classic case of an owner that is not from PR, doesn't care about the property and only cares about getting paid. The kitchen appliances are terrible, the pool table needs to be thrown out, the toilets needs to be replaced, the house needs to be painted, windows needs to be cleaned, and much more. Overall is a nice place to spend time with family. But be aware you will be dealing with filth, insects, etc. Again, thank you Tato (Property Manager) for being nice, helpful and responsive.

Needs

I want to start by saying that the house is beautiful and has great potential. but it needs many updates, #1 the profile picture is not, the second floor is completely open, #2 housekeeping needs better cleaning, #3 the bedding and bath towels deteriorated and poor condition, we had to go to walmart to buy #4 the pool table in poor condition. And keep in mind that if you arrive after 3: pm check in they want to charge you a fee too. Despite the inconveniences we enjoyed our stay, it is a quiet neighborhood and accessible to many places.

Rundown party house - good for big groups at budget price - needs many upgrades & deep cleaning

We rented this property to host family visiting PR. We had 12 people and wanted everyone to be together. The house is big and on the beach, as advertised. It is suited for large groups that want to be together, have common space to hang out, want a beautiful location, want a low price, and don't care much about cleanliness or quality of the facilities (see below). The caretaker, Tato, was very nice and helpful. The owners were also responsive via email and provided a useful welcome package. The house has some nice amenities like decent kitchen facilities and balconies. It has useful things like a washer & dryer, an extra fridge, beach towels and a large dining table. Yet as other reviews have mentioned, there are leaking faucets, toilets that don’t flush well, a problem with the dishwasher, many light bulbs that don't work, lamps without shades, non-functional fans, and old rusty beach chairs. We could only find 7 forks, in a house that sleeps 14. There are also bigger things beyond the scope of maintenance, like junky furniture (some of it is literally falling apart and stained and looks like it was found on the street), windows and doors let in lots of water when it rains, a pool table that was falling apart and a ping pong table that was completely usable – these amenities were not as advertised. There was black mold in the air conditioners, blood on a shower curtain, and several fire extinguishers that read "empty" – serious health/safety hazards indicating that a thorough deep cleaning is required. Note: this house is not great for elderly people - it has steep, narrow stairs and lacks railings in a few places. Some of the host's responses to previous reviews commented on the location in PR and on the beach as explanations for many of the problems. I would disagree. I live nearby in Luquillo and my house is subject to similar conditions, yet I don't have black mold or furniture that is broken and nasty, or useless fire extinguishers because I care enough to fix those problems. I would argue that you can offer a place that is fun and affordable and also has decent quality and cleanliness – the two are not mutually exclusive. The bottom line is that the owners have not invested recently in making the house feel "like home" instead of a rundown party house. I would only recommend it to large groups on a budget without elderly people, and who don't care about the cleanliness issues. For others, best to look elsewhere.

Recent Stay

Great location on the beach. The local property manager, Tato, was outstanding and we can’t say enough positive things about him. The property is advertised as having a pool table, hot tub and ping pong table but they were in need of repair. The air conditioner units were loud and kept some family members awake. The property is right on the beach but we found only 4 rusted camp chairs; there were 11 members in our group. There is deferred maintenance; the toilet in the main bedroom leaked and and drains were slow to empty in the showers. The cleaning fee charged was not reflected in the way in which we found the house upon arrival. If investments were made to rectify these issues, we would be open to renting again.

Caretaker is best thing about this property

The property caretaker, Tato was awesome, owners not so much. It’s obvious the caretaker does all he can to manage this very run down house. The owners clearly haven’t spent any money on this place in years. So many things broken down. Tato had to fix so many things while we were there, including the main AC unit which stopped working several times. It clearly needs to be replaced. The jetted tub in the master never worked at all and kept turning on by itself making noise that Tato had to come fix. The furniture is so old that some of it smells bad. The only outdoor furniture are some beat up folding chairs. The owners sent me the wrong welcome package so I couldn’t even reach Tato initially. It’s obvious the owners care very little about this property. Owners are lucky to have Tato because without him, I can’t imagine this property getting rented because reviews would be horrible without him.

We loved everything! Gorgeous house, gorgeous view. Our property manager was absolutely amazing! He was there when we arrived. Gave us an excellent tour. Anytime something was needed it was there immediately. When we e had questions reguarding what to do, where to go he was a wealth of information. We enjoyed playing all the games in the facility and learning dominoes! We cant wait to go back and show more friends and family. There was a group of 10 of us and the house was perfectly spacious for our whole group. Thank you for everything

Believe it when it says beach front!

We needed the specific sleeping accommodations for our group, so the amenities were not as important to us however we enjoyed listening to the waves crash on the beach all day and having plenty of seating around the table and living areas. Some of the reviews have been negative however we found everything to be functional, relaxing, a little quirky at times, and a great place to stay.

Awesome beach home

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The beach is right outside the back door. The home was so spacious and everyone had their own space. The kitchen and living room downstairs was perfect for family dinner. The house can use a good update but it was perfect for what we wanted. The river is 2 minutes away and gorgeous. I love Tato!! Best property manager ever. I asked if there was uber eats and we didn't buy groceries yet. He bought us food!!! Definitely recommend this place.

It has potential

We arrived in the middle of the night, and it was immediately obvious that things were not as advertised. The gate that is supposed to stay close was broken and the motor had been gone for a few days, so during our stay, the gate would stay open 27/7. The house is spacious and there were enough rooms for all of us, but the furniture, the linens, and the overall house needs to be deep cleaned and updated. When we got there the internet was not working, the owner and manager did respond quickly to this problem and a person from the cable company showed up on Monday to fix it. We also discovered there is no phone line in the house even when 2 phones are on display, one on the first floor and one on the second floor. The Jacuzzi was not working either and my understanding is that it had been out of commission for a while. In the pictures the second-story terrace facing the beach had screen or windows, it does not, the "windows", "screens" had been removed and the area is totally exposed. The Ping-pong table is cracked and unusable, the pool table on the first floor all the pockets are broken needs to be rebalanced and re-covered. The day before our departure there we had a water leak from the second floor to the area of the front door on the first floor- it looked like it was raining. It originated in one of the bathrooms above and is my understanding it was not the first time. The caretaker on site is wonderful and helpful- he tried his best to fix all these issues, but the maintenance issues seemed to be long-standing and need professional repair. The beach is wonderful, and the neighborhood is a working-class neighborhood, the neighbors were friendly and respectful. This house could be so much more with some maintenance and updating. My issue was mainly is not what is advertised, and I did mention this to the manager in one of our calls. I should explain that the group staying there included an industrial engineer who is used to putting facilities together, internationally, a physician, 2 public health professionals, and two lawyers so we as a group are very conscious of our environment. So, from the windows that have been caulked shut (you cannot open them), to the obvious presence of leaks in various parts of the house, broken furniture, an unusable second-floor terrace and old linens most of the issues are maintenance-related. Once again, the beach was wonderful, but the house needs some serious improvement. I will be forwarding the owner p

Good for large groups

The property manager's were great to work with and we had a great vacation. I believe with a few upgrades this property would be amazing. We hosted an event and it was an ideal location and space so great for large groups. Here is my pro and con list below Pro: location (steps to beach) Space: plenty of room for large group and enjoyed the multiple seating areas alng with 2nd floor outdoor space Supplies: Appreciate the home equipped with all kitchen, bathroom, beach supplies Customer service: Everyone servicing property was great and having the property mgr across the street was beneficial. Beach: beach is gorgeous as is the backyard, glad chairs was available and a short walk to the river Features: Family enjoyed the pool table, disappointed the table tennis and hottube were not functional. Con: location (not great neighborhood and touch locating property-via google maps, waze worked better) Cleanliness: The place was clean when we arrived but there were lots of ants and bugs throughout the house. I would also suggest to have updated bedding available.

Beautiful For Family Vacation

This beach house is amazing! The layout is perfect for a family vacation. It's divided into 3 floors which made it perfect to divide parents from adult children and grandbabies! My son got married on the property and even though it rained we were able to accommodate the guest on the 2nd floor versus the backyard. The property manager "Tato" was AWESOME, I'd go back just so he can show us his farm, my grandkids loved it! He lives right across the street! Chaunee & Myrtle you guys truly have a "GEM" not only the beach house but with "Tato" as well! We look forward to booking again in the near future.

Spacious & amazing views

We were a group of 14, 9 adults, 1 teenagers and 4 children. We also had a group of 8 others staying in close proximity. This home became the meeting spot because of the spaciousness and ease of location. The house location is right on the beach. It was great to allow the kids, big and small the luxury of going out and enjoying the water without the crazy crowds in Luquillo. It is within minutes of everything you need shopping, food kiosks and El Yunque. Also close to to Marina, if snorkeling is desirable. Property owners and management are great at communicating expectations and ensuring needs are met. We would love to return in the near future.

Why they chose this property

I originally came to Puerto Rico to spend a full month with my then-11-year-old daughter. We toured the entire island by car and immediately fell in love with "la isla del encanto" - with the tropical rainforests, the historical cities of Ponce and San Juan, and the natural wonders of the Cordillera Central ... not to mention the beauty of the two smaller islands, Vieques and Culebra. It wasn't until 8 years later that I came back to Puerto Rico in search of the perfect vacation spot, this time with my husband. We found just what we were looking for in Luquillo. The breathtaking beach, running miles and miles along the coast, was the first selling point. Furthermore, Luquillo was so close to El Yunque Rainforest and the port town of Fajardo, allowing easy access to our favorite little island, Culebra. As we did more research, we noticed how friendly the people and how peaceful the area. Luquillo became the perfect spot for our family - kids and grandkids - and we hope it will be the same for you and that you will “Make Our Home Yours”!
