Great First Visit
Our family was taking our first visit to Puerto Rico and we loved it. We stayed in three different locations and this home in Humacao was our favorite. It's a bit off the beaten path relative to the other major locations (San Juan, Fajardo, Luquillo, etc) but that means it's very quiet which is what we prefer. We took day trips to a few other locations but the beach here was our kids favorite though it did have seaweed and not a ton of sandy beach. The home itself was clean and we also appreciated how well equipped it was: beach toys, kitchen utensils, pans, etc.The gated community was quiet, friendly, and peaceful.Size was more than adequate for the seven of us, we had space to hang out inside or sit out by the pool, which was also a hit with the younger kids in particular.The host was helpful and very responsive. I hope to return to Puerto Rico and we will definitely consider staying here again if we are able.

Nice property!
This was our 3rd visit to Puerto Rico but the first time staying in this area. The location was very convenient for all of the activities we wanted to see and do. We spent plenty of time at the property also. The pool area was so comfortable and private. One of our favorite things was walking just a short distance to the beach where we could enjoy our afternoons without being amongst a lot of people. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if we go back to PR.

Nice house and pool and location
Very nice house and pool. Easy walk to the nature preserve. A few miles from lots of shopping. Two decent restaurants basically at the community’s entrance. The gated community with all the houses with bars on the windows and doors was off putting but that apparently is how it is throughout PR.Rick was extremely responsive and available. Couldn’t ask for a better host.

Wonderful property
You get the best of both worlds with the beach and pool at this home. It was clean and the beds were comfy. Very spacious. There were 5 of us and we never felt like we were on top of each other. There are shops and restaurants close by. Bocata and El Kafe became repeat favorites!Rick was very quick to respond to any questions we had and it was a great trip.

The perfect place to celebrate my birthday with friends!
I could gush all day about the great location, the beautiful beach just steps away, the accommodating and kind host, the amenities that you want and need, just about everything you could hope for! It's less than an hour from the hustle of San Juan, and feels like a remote location, but it's just 10 minutes fast food, Walmart and other shopping options. We had a couple of hiccups with plumbing and a failed AC, but Rick had an HVAC tech and a plumber there in less than 12 hours! Can't complain about that kind of response from a host!!! The house was clean, had a well-stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, and a beautiful pool It was the perfect place to celebrate my "holy cow, I'm old" birthday with friends.

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!

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.
