Absolute paradise

The property is everything as advertised. So much so we had planned for a day outing into the rainforest and decided against it because we were so at peace hanging out on the property. We didn’t even bother with the AC. We just opened up all the windows and let the natural air circulate and listen to the sounds of the rainforest. Our host Thomas was incredibly friendly, helpful, and ready with recommendations. Will most definitely be returning to this little slice of Heaven.

Paradise

We had an incredible experience during our stay, thanks to our host, Thomas. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and enjoyed every moment. Thomas was not only welcoming but also extremely informative about Puerto Rico, making him an excellent conversationalist. Even though we arrived late, he was there to greet us with a warm smile, which truly set the tone for our trip.

A great place with a great host

The apartment is located on a mountain surrounded by nature. The fauna is just as great as the view of the ocean and Vieques. You can hear the animals all the time and have peace and quiet due to the remoteness.Tomas is an absolutely great host who is happy to help you, answer questions and give you tips for beaches, excursion destinations and everything else.It was a really nice stay and we are definitely planning to come here again next time!

The Hidden Gem

This property is the East part of Puerto Rico and is different than all other parts. If you want authenticity of Puerto Rico then look no further. This warm home is not about the beach but the mountains and the birds and the tranquility of nature. Respect where you are, away from home, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Puerto Rico.

El studio era súper chulo, contaba con aire acondicionado, shampoo/conditioner, jabón, frisas, toallas, microondas y todo lo básico. El área es sumamente verde, se destaca la naturaleza y hay una vista preciosa desde la piscina. Hay varias galerías para pintar, áreas para acampar con fogatas y pequeños spots para apreciar la naturaleza incluyendo una vista impresionante de Humacao y Vieques. La piscina era muy bonita, tenía una cascada y luces de noche, el calentador tuvo problemas durante nuestra estadía pero aún así disfrutamos mucho. Tomás fue muy atento, nos explicó todito sobre el airbnb e incluso hizo el gesto de prestarnos su bocina sin pedírselo. Fue muy amable y cualquier duda que teníamos la contestaba sin problema. Fue una buena experiencia así que se le puede dar en general un 9/10.

A view of a lifetime

This is one of the most beautiful stays I’ve ever seen. As a traveler we know the choice is sacrifice a moderate stay for a breathtaking outdoor scenery or modern interior with a ok outside. This home is an authentic Puerto Rican rain forest stay. If you want to feel the authentic experience of living in a rainforest this is your stay. Tom was the most hospitipal host ever. You mustttt driveee. You must have a vehicle to get around. I used Uber and it was difficult for them to find the home because it’s nestled in the rainforest. The infinity pool is nice and warm and has lights on it at night. It is a stay for 2 but can .acommadate 4. There aren’t enough word to describe how beautiful this stay is. The inside is lived in but the view and landscape is one you’ll never forget. I love Tom and I definitely will be returning to the property

Quite times

It was the perfect place to retreat to. It was quiet, with no distractions nearby, just what I needed to rest well. Mr. Tom is a considerate, and friendly host.

This place was magical! Stunning views, hiking trails, beautiful gardens, very secluded, quick drive to the ocean! Tom was the coolest host we’ve ever had! So much to explore on that side of the island.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Estrada

I'm a friendly, retired art teacher who truly enjoys this miracle called life. I taught art and special education in California for 25 years and 15 years in Puerto Rico. I love sharing with my guests (if they so choose) places that make an impact. I offer 50 acres of unspoiled nature with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea, Vieques Island and the world famous El Yunque Rain Forest. Lots of adventures await you including hiking, bird watching and info for snorkeling, bioluminescent kayak trips, etc.etc.
