Our second stay here

We girst stayed at this VRBO in Nov 2019. Have done other places three last few years and now decided to return to our favorite. We like Rick"s place because it has a pool, nice outdoor area and basically a private beach just a couple hundred feet away. It's not the prettiest beach but we love that it's there if we want to walk over from the house and stick our feet in the sand. If you want to lay on a beautiful white sandy beach under an umbrella, this ain't it. But we like the cute, clean house and the pool and yard and listening to the ocean while we enjoyed our morning coffee. The house is within a gated community so it's quiet and not in the middle of a touristy area or a party zone. WalMart and Ralph's are just a couple miles from the house, as well as several restaurants and fast food type places. Fajardo is about a 30 minute drive. Drive to/from the airport was about an hour. Thanks, Rick, for another wonderful stay.

Great family location

We had a fabulous time exploring Puerto Rico’s attractive from this location. We also really enjoyed the beach, pool and nature reserve right from the house. The home has everything you need from kitchen supplies, to laundry room to beach towels and chairs. We had an easy time communicating with the owner Rick who was very accommodating. We look forward to future visits!

Great Option in Quiet Area

This location wound up being a great low-key option as a base for several days on the island -- easy access to Humacao, plenty of space, sounds of the beach, and a great private pool. Worked out very well for our family!

Great place to stay

We had a great time in this house. Great pool-area and very close to the beach! This house is better than the photos! Rick was very helpful and responded quickly when we had questions. We highly recommend this place and wish that our stay had last a little longer! We were a group of 8 persons and everyone enjoyed the place!!

Quiet stay with decent access to activities

We came in a group of 7, ages 3-73. The property itself was wonderful- clean, updated, multiple outdoor sitting areas, and it had a nice pool/grill that we all enjoyed. The host (Rick) was very quick to respond and helpful. Perfect for a large group with different schedules and interests. The property is beach front, but there are bushes in between the property and the beach so it’s not a direct view of the ocean (didn’t bother us). The beach is very quiet and part of the Humacao Nature Reserve, so very natural and easy to explore that area. The water was swimmable and we enjoyed it, but lots of seaweed on the sand. On our 3rd day, we discovered a perfect place to sit in the grass under a palm tree with shade and wind, right on the beach! There are about 2-3 decent restaurants right outside the gates of the community, plus a cute town called Nuagaro about 15 minutes away with lots of places to eat. You can also get to the islands from here, but the ferry is about a 30 minute drive and you need reservations in advance. El Yunque Rainforest visitor center is about 45 minutes away.

Wonderful home and location

The home was everything the listing said it was. This is a very quiet, low traffic neighborhood. The owner was very responsive, although we rarely needed help as everything was well organized. The nearby beaches are full of seaweed and there is limited accessibility. However, that is a problem on many Carrabean islands now. The nearby trails to the Humacao rain forest more than made up for it. My boys enjoy nature hikes, especially at night, and the diversity of wildlife was amazing. Within walking distance we saw a myriad of frogs, lizards, geckos, birds, crabs, spiders, and even a turtle. There are a couple restaurants and bars within walking distance, and many more just 15 minutes away in either direction.

A superb place to stay in Puerto Rico

We came to Puerto Rico with our granddaughter and her family. This home was ideal for us for the 8 day stay. Rick has great communications via email. He doesn't call or stop by. The neighborhood is very nice, and we could easily see the sunrise and set from our porches or by walking across the street to the ocean. The child with us had a blast collecting shells and playing in the pool. The grill worked great and gazebo was nice for dining. The only thing to be aware of is that the master shower does not get hot. Note that there is bar soap, but no shampoos or conditioners which are often in rental homes. The laundry room utilities worked great, we brought washer pods along.

Great Family Home

Layout of this house worked great! Unfortunately beach left a lot to be desired and with kids the WiFi wasn’t working properly. While there we were able to get assistance with it towards the end of the trip. Home had all the amenities we would need even extra sunblock! Would recommend this house to other families.

Adventuring out for the day was super easy, didn’t have to drive too far and was able to experience a lot locally. Also only 45 minute drive to the ferry, great house and great location.

Second stay

The property was just as we left it a few years ago. My only suggestions would be new big cooler( the wheels are missing on the current one), new boogie boards( both there are broken) need a 9x13 casserole dish and no hot water in master bath or kitchen. The house is beautiful and the views amazing.

Relaxing location with a great ocean view

Location of this property was ideal for us. we were within an hour or less of the locations of choice - snorkeling, kayaking, etc. Driving to the Yunque National Forest or San Juan took a little longer. The house was perfectly sized for our family of 5 adults and 2 children. The pool was ideal and kept our 11 and 12 year old granddaughters fully occupied. The house had all the necessary amenities including beach items (towels, some chairs), a grill, and, most importantly, a fantastic view of the ocean from patios off the living room and master bedroom. The neighborhood was quiet and the house is in easy reach to the beach and short hikes in the nearby nature preserve. A very minor inconvenience - the house is tiled throughout and can be noisy (like opening/closing exterior doors) as sound echos. Rick, the host, was very helpful and quickly responded to our queries. Highly recommend.
