Home was super clean, towels and bedding clean and fresh. Anything I needed or had a question with I got a very quick response through the communication from Vrbo AP. Less than 10 minute walk to the beach. House had wagon cart with beach chairs, umbrella, accessories etc. We had our 30th wedding anniversary with our adult children and their husbands and had a great time. Definitely will recommend and will plan to come back. Thank You!
Our first time in Puerto Rico was amazing! The house is in a perfect location with easy access to Cerro Gordo beach....having the cart/cooler/beach supplies was so helpful! The house is well stocked, really clean, and the outdoor area and pool were perfect! 10/10
We had an amazing time. The property was perfect for six of us. Our teenagers loved the pool and pool table. The short walk to the beach was great. We’ll definitely be back!
House was very clean and comfortable, the neighborhood bar and grill had music on very loud some days until 2 am. And construction next door started at 6 am , so 7 nights lil sleep. Also we limit our use of the pool due to many cameras over the pool , felt like ( big brother watching you) if you like noise and been watch 24/7 this place is for you.
It has been the worst experience i have had absolutely misleading. The pictures are very well taken. The host forgot to send us the password to enter the property i took us six phone calls to get access to the house. the cameras are pointing directly to the where you are laying next to the pool. There is absolutely no room for any storage so if you are planning to stay here more than to
days you will have to leave your luggage in the living room. Pool table its not maintain. Grill was duty, and if you want to use the pool there is nothing to clean it. And good luck with the hammock. Absolutely the worst

Vacation
Property is Well equipped and quite, Loved the place.
We had an amazing time at the Cerro Gordo beach house. Our host George was immediately responsive to every question we had, and the check-in and check-out processes couldn't be smoother.
The property has everything we needed and more. The private pool is clean and big enough for our family of 5 to enjoy. The well-equipped patio has a grill, a pool table, a cart with beach chairs and an umbrella, and a portable domino table. Again, plenty of room to stretch out.
As for indoors, it was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Nearly full kitchen (no oven). The only downside is that the bathrooms are a bit small and the showers do not have much pressure. But for as little time as we spent indoors, we did not consider that a deal breaker and would gladly stay here again.
The short walk to the beach does pass some run-down houses, but this entire property is surrounded by a fence and wall, with a lockable driveway gate, so we felt safe and secure at all times.
Thank you for a memorable vacation!
Everything is as pictured. The property is BEAUTIFUL and did not leave us wanting for anything. Both the interior and exterior are very clean and well maintained. We definitely appreciated the beach wagon and beach supplies such as enough sturdy chairs for each family member, blankets, and towels. The pool is wonderful and the pool table/billiards is in excellent condition which we find a rarity in vacation homes. The cues even had good tips! Plenty of seating indoors and out for our family of 5 adults. The beds are comfortable and everyone slept well. Enough hot water for five showers. In-unit laundry was helpful. We all felt very safe at this property. George and Mona are highly responsive to questions.
The location is fantastic! We are thankful that we chose to stay here instead of a hotel resort. When we arrived on Saturday afternoon there was loud, culturally authentic music being played in the neighborhood (did not last past 11 pm) and we found this to be fun and exciting! Just steps from the house is el Corozo sports bar and restaurant. Yummy food, excellent drinks, fantastic bilingual service. We got to experience both live music and the viewing of the PR vs Dominican Republic baseball game! It was awesome to witness firsthand how passionate Puerto Ricans are about baseball. A short walk away is a beautiful beach. Unfortunately, the entire north, eest, and east coasts were under high surf and RIP current warnings which meant it was unsafe for swimming. . The beach near the house was officially closed but many people were still there to enjoy the GORGEOUS scenery of crashing waves and the sun. This location is also convenient to Supermax grocery and highways leading to other major locations.
Thank you George and Mona for offering this home!
This was my first time booking a house through Vrbo! & I was a bit nervous, but let me tell you I couldn't have chose a better place, the house was exactly what they posted, safe and secure. George was very responsive to any questions I had and anwsered them promptly. The home is absolutely beautiful and extremely clean! The beds were so comfy down to the sheets and blankets! Literally they have everything you need!! I will def be back to book with George again!! Thank you once again George for allowing us to stay in your home!!!
Our family of five traveled to Puerto Rico for a vacation and stayed in this adorable house.
When we were supposed to leave, Hurricane Fiona hit and we were stranded due to flight cancelations. Luckily our host George had kept in contact with us throughout our entire stay, and he was very gracious to not only let us extend our stay but discounted the fee. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for this seemingly simple thing. As a tourist stranded with my family during a national disaster it was simply a blessing to not worry about where we would ride out the storm. The property had a generator so we didn't lose power for even a moment. And even throughout the storm George constantly checked up on us, asking how we were fairing and if we needed provisions.
Even if I didn't love the property (which we did, especially the pool and hammock) I would recommend George as a host!!
Five star experience!!
Beautiful home with all needed amenities. We enjoyed the pool amd beach items. The house was hard to find at first because we arrived late but check in was easy and the area was good. Close to beaches and shopping. The house diagonal was having construction which was very noisy at 6 and 7am but overall it was a great stay. George even helped us get a surprise cake for my daughter. It was beautiful and tasted very delicious. George answered all questions quickly and gave us lots of helpful info for our stay. We would definitely stay again!
La ubicación tremenda todo cerca colmado,restaurante,playa.la casa súper cómoda,limpia brutal el área de la piscina y billar definitivamente vuelvo gracias George
The house was amazing we love it a lot everything was very organized and very clean. One of the issues we had was the refrigerator starts leaking inside and outside the floor in front of the refrigerator we had to mop it because it was wet and slippery. The inside of the refrigerator was also wet our items we bring were wet. The refrigerator needs to be checked and fix future guess visit the house. Another issue we noticed the gate when we leave the place and go out it constantly scraped the muffler of the car that’s big issue someone who came to visit us did the same thing to the car that can messed up and damage the car that needs to be fixed it doesn’t damage other people cars they come and visit the house. Overall everything went well we had great time at the house near future we will go back again thank you so much having us in the we appreciate it a lot.
This beach house is just an amazing place! Honestly the pictures do not do it justice. Probably taken with the windows closed. The house is airy, beds were comfy, kitchen was roomy well appointed (no oven, but there is a microwave and gas stove top). And so clean!!!
The best part is the wonderful pool and outdoor pool table.
There are many amazing lizard friends that we enjoyed looking at as well as the CoQui frogs that sang us to sleep-bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
If you are looking for a resort vacation, this is not your VRBO! We wanted to live, eat and beach with the locals and this house provided everything we wanted! We will definitely be coming back!
First of all, we never have been to Vega Alta before and we loved it! Convenient to air port, Walmart, neighborhood cafes and bakeries and gas stations too!
The gates at the entrance of the property is a great feature of privacy and the landscaping is gorgeous! The house is breathtaking and you can tell she’s loved!!!
When you go into the house it’s bursting with love and by that I mean they thought of almost everything!
They have Good linens, towels, pool towels, beach blankets, coffee, left us some snacks, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, I mean it’s laid out like a 5 Star hotel with a gorgeous pool and everything you need to retreat in the back patio! First aid kit and cards too:)
My favorite was the washer and the dryer! Everything was so nice and clean and the AC and ceiling fans are perfect! When we needed our host, he responded immediately, thanks George!
You better book this one fast, because we want to keep going back!
Thank you George and family for making us feel so welcomed and we felt the love of the beach house!
Let me start by saying I’ve been searching and speaking to many hosts for my 40th birthday.I can truly say George was on point, the BESTTTT host I have ever experience . He responded to me quickly anytime of the day with any question or concerns I had EVEN before I decided to book . That’s a plus In my book .
As for the house what can I say it was PERFECT. The house was bigger than it looks on picture words can’t describe it .
if you ever decide to stay use el Corozo sport bar to get to the house much much easier to navigate .Trust me … It was a quite gated home you will feel very secure . . The house smelled soo clean(bleach) I was in awww even down to The linens and that’s big for me . The beach was a 2 min walk and San Juan was 35mins away . theres a bar up the street literally and up a block the another one with food .walking distance You have to eat there. It’s pretty good . And how can I forget about SAMMS CEDAR MARKET . Up the street everything u need is there . Try there fresh bread. Delicious
The bedrooms were a nice size . When u first walk in theres the nice living room . Off to the left king room with bathroom . Straight ahead open Kitchen .Loved it . 2nd bedroom had 1 nice size bunk bed . 3rd bedroom had queen bed . Once u pass kitchen on the right . (nice size ) with stackable washer dryer and 2nd bathroom . Off to the left outside is the pool . Loved loved . In the back it has Domino’s table and Ballard table also there was a hammock with a nice outside ,kitchen & grill
Words can’t describe the home and the host . For my birthday George surprised me with my birthday cake . Which I was almost cried cause it was exactly how I describe my cake to him not even knowing the surprise . I couldn’t have asked for a better host .
George truly made me feel like I was home and I didn’t want to leave lol.
DONT THINK TWICE . This is the perfect house and location . If u know anything about PR everything u do has to do is driving so the location for me was a plus . Only thing Ill say is the water system . People have to understand this is not the states or resort were u can take long ridiculous showers . The water system is step up different ..20mins tops if u staying with multiple people . To me its no biggie when u were raised in PR and understand the water system .
Thank you GEORGE FOR EVERYTHING .You are truly an amazing host . This will def be my sec home away from home .
George thank you so much for opening your lovely home to us this past week. It has truly been a pleasure staying in this super decked out beach house. San Juan is about a 35 minute drive depending on traffic. El yunque was 1.5 hours away if you are looking for rain forest fun. The home itself is stunning 3 bedrooms with the worlds softest comforter and pillows. Feels like sleeping on a cloud. The pool is to die for along with the rest of the patio. You fall asleep to the sounds of coquis which is so peaceful. Beach is extremely close 5 minute walk with a bar/restaurant called Sol Y Mar, the food is literally the best. There is also a store up the road maybe a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive. There is also an amazing eatery called pico Rico that serves up some of the best baked chicken I’ve had in a while.
Looking for a super responsive host? Look no further George would respond to my messages whenever I had any questions. Let’s not forget that he knows some great spots to eat around town and his itinerary is extremely helpful when deciding what to do for the day if you don’t already have activities planned.
Almost forgot to mentioned that the pizza from pagan is pretty damn close to NYC pizza it was to die for!!!
Again George you are a super host and will be sure to stay with you In the future. Thank you for being so accommodating and understanding
