Such a great place for a family vacation!

This is our first time in Puerto Rico when it was absolutely beautiful. We went with another couple and it was perfect because we each had her own apartment! The pool and the hot tub are amazing. The very short walk to the beach is also beautiful. We use the pizza oven one night and it worked great. The noseeums are pretty bad so take spray. The beach is next-door to a public campground, but we did not have any issue with the noise, etc. Some of the beach did have quite a bit of trash, but was still beautiful and a perfect place to hang out.

Special birthday vacation

The house worked out perfectly to reunite our family for my birthday. Our two adult children flew in with their partners and we had plenty of room and privacy for everyone. We enjoyed the comfortable grounds/pool and fun amenities like the kayaks and paddle boards. The location was perfect for hiking in the rain forest and not too far for an occasional visit to Old Town San Juan.

Favorite Vacation

This was our second stay at the Yellow House and it was just wonderful. It's like having your very own ocean front resort all to yourself. Convenient location close to restaurants and shopping (short driving distance). Nice, quiet neighborhood. Everyone is super friendly. Can't wait to come back for round 3 someday!

Family Spring Break 2025

Our family of 6 (mostly adults) stayed for Spring Break 2025, and overall, we had a great week. The location was ideal for us, and we enjoyed the outdoor pool, hot tub (once the propane tank was replenished), and grilling area. We have stayed at many VRBO and other rentals, and the rating seemed inflated. The house needs TLC inside and out, including improved cleanliness (dirty dishes in non-working dishwasher), crumbs and dirty linens in sofa sleeper, thin/minimal bath/beach towels, old worn furniture and the upstairs a/c leaked continuously and a lot and was clearly not a new issue based on the stains on the wall. The ice cube trays had leaked by whomever was there previously and the freezer had a base layer of ice. The tiki bar and outdoor pizza oven were dirty and not appealing. The split flat was ok - not our preference but it worked. If we had expected a 3/5 property, this would have met our expectations, but based on reviews, our expectations were much higher.We still had a great trip, lots of great family memories, and enjoyed the beach right outside the door. Manny was attentive and pleasant. Loved Palmer and the mimosa's and woodfire pizza's at Lluvia served by Milton who was very kind and gave us great recommendations. Bungolu had fantastic tacos. Luquillo Beach and local fare was great. Hiked El Yunque (GO EARLY). Enjoyed a day a Culebra Island. Hit up the Biolumenscent Bay (stay up for the late trip).Additional questions, feel free to PM me.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

This house and property, right on the beach, was exactly what our family was looking for. While all the beaches are public, we barely saw anybody so it seem like our own private beach.
