Happy Yellow House

My husband and I stayed for our honeymoon, and words can’t explain how beautiful this house was. Pictures don’t do it justice. We had an amazing time. Checkin and out was super easy. Manny was fantastic and greeted us the minute we arrived. He showed us around the property and even gave us recommendations on great restaurants and things to do. This yellow house was spectacular . Thank you.

Resort like Beach House

This property was perfect for our adult family of 7. We had several meals at the outdoor spaces and the outdoor kitchen was great. The pool and hot tub area is truly a resort like setting. The house had everything we needed for cooking and visiting the beach. Location was convenient to water excursions, historical sites and the rainforest for waterfall hiking. The beach area was nearly private as we only saw a handful of people all week. The Owners and Concierge were all very responsive and courteous. The beach area can be minimal at times and there is not a big area to swim in the ocean due to the shallow grass that consumes most of the bay. I recommend going to another area for snorkeling. Also, they need to add some more lounge chairs around the pool that can also be used at the beach.

Great location!

We had a wonderful vacation at the Yellow House. Pros: It is conveniently located near restaurants, golf courses and grocery stores. This rental property is enormous. Like having your own personal resort. We spent a great deal of time in the private pool and walking the beach. House was stocked with necessities. Manny was accommodating and easy to contact. Cons: The Yellow House could use some maintenance. No working dishwasher. We had to hand wash many of the dishes in the cupboard that weren’t clean.Towel racks in all the bathrooms would be nice. Tiki bar near the pool looked like it was falling apart. This was the only part of the property we wouldn’t consider using.

Our own little paradise

We had an amazing 4 day stay at the Happy Yellow House. It was the perfect home base for our Puerto Rico vacation. We enjoyed the outdoor area the most spending a lot of our time in the private pool and hot tub. We loved the short walk to the beach and how close it was too all the local attractions. The fully equipped home was perfect for our family of 5.

Best Vacation Ever!

We brought our daughters and their husbands to enjoy Puerto Rico. Their father is Puerto Rican and wanted to share his homeland with his girls. We had the best time relaxing in the pool and hot tub, using the kayaks and paddle boards to navigate the private beach area was a bonus. We loved the privacy of the house and it felt like a home not a hotel. Thank you so very much for sharing your house with us.

Hidden Gem - Plenty to do

This place was amazing. We had a hard time leaving. The pictures don't do it justice. The rooms were very comfortable, with no issues at all. With a pool and hot tub and ocean beach access. The kids were excited about all of it and they used it all day, every day. They enjoyed the kayak and paddle boards as well as the snorklibg gear. We even found conch shells and saw lots of different fish, all right there from the rental. Water pressure was good and quick heated water was a plus. We felt secluded from the main tourist scene, but still really close to everything. El Yunque was literally straight out from the main access road. It really was a great place to stay. Manny, the property manager, handled everything and was very helpful to us. Always available when we needed help with something we forgot about how to do at the house. Already planning the next trip out in the future. This place is one of the first well look for when we return.

Tropical Oasis

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. In fact, we didn’t want to leave. There’s a pool, outdoor bbq area, jacuzzi, outdoor bar and a short path to the beach. Everything you could want! Manny was excellent and very responsive. He met us with the keys and showed us around. I thought this was wonderful. Sometimes you don’t hear a peep from the property managers/owners. Five stars. Hands down the best property I’ve been to and will be back again!

Perfect Getaway!

I recently stayed here with four friends, and I’m so glad we chose this place. The other reviews are true—anything you could possibly want is here. We spent most of our time either at the beach or in the hot tub and pool. Taking an early morning walk on the beach, I was treated to an octopus sighting—super cool to see! The property manager Manny is the best. Check in and check out was a breeze, and he fixed the hot tub super fast. He also gave us some excellent grocery/dinner recommendations. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Best Beach Vacation

We had the best stay at the Yellow Beach House. As other reviewers noted, you could just stay there for your entire vacation and it would be blissful. We, however, did get out! We have four kids ages 9, 7, 5, and 3 and wanted to hike in El Yunque and see Old San Juan and Luquillo. We did all those things, enjoying rest days in between at the Yellow House's lovely pool and hot tub. We even enjoyed the water toys and discovered a Mecca of conch shells down the beach to the left. The highlight of the trip for the kids was when I discovered a conch with a baby octopus hiding inside. It crawled out and we were shocked! Don't worry - I returned it's conch home to the water. Thank you Manny and Potvins for an amazing stay. We hope to come again!

Such a nice trip

We needed a girls getaway and this did not disappoint. Manny was incredible and literally so helpful with everything. The property is incredible and even though there were a group of us, you could be on the property without even seeing another person! The only thing I was a bit disappointed in was the cleanliness. I didn’t see a vacuum at the property and there were a lot of hairs around the bathroom area when we arrived that we’re not ours. We spent most of our time outdoors, but it didn’t feel as clean as we were used to. But 10/10 for the property and beach !!
