Amazing views

The ocean views and the pool in the backyard are indescribable. We woke up to watch the sunrise every morning. The house itself could use a little updating and repair, but was comfortable enough for our stay. There are wonderful restaurants very close by. We loved "living like a local" for a month. Aida and her team made sure we had everything we needed and were quick to respond to any issues. I would gladly come back for another month!

The exterior of the property needs a little more maintenance. Perfect interiors. Beautiful and relax place. The refrigerator should be bigger, but maybe depends on the plans of the stay. The owners and the manager Hector are super attentive.

Nice family vacation

The property met out needs. A little noisy turning over in the bunk bed and a bit crowded in that bed room. Lights flickered on and off when using the dryer or microwave. The beach and pool/ backyard provided lots of relaxing time. Overall, a nice stay. Would stay again.

We had an amazing stay. The house is just as advertised. Perfect small town feel for a relaxing vacation. Grocery stores were about 15-20 minute drive. We were able to eat meals at home during the day and then go to amazing restaurants in the evenings. Hector was so nice and helpful. I just want to add that every single person we met on our stay was super friendly and always wanting to give us tips on what we should see and eat. Very Proud Community.

What a beautiful place!!

The property was adequately furnished for our stay. (We did contribute a couple of floaties for the pool though. 😀 ) But to spend a week soaking up the sights and sounds of this beautiful place was like being in paradise! Our only suggestions would be to stay on top of the maintenance, like making sure the pool lights work, and not sending the pool cleaning guy over in the middle of the day while we were in the pool. Otherwise, we would definitely come back and rent this place again! Thank you!!

Wonderful, relaxing stay!

We had a great stay at this house and the views are amazing! Being so close to the water was great even though the current was too strong to swim. The pool was perfect for the kids, even our teenagers, and altogether this was a wonderful location. We had excellent communication with the property manager, Ivette, and she helped with anything we needed.

Amazing location

The property description and photos are accurate. The pool was perfect for my 8 and 10 year old kids, it wasn’t over their head but deep enough to swim in and I could hang out on the deck or the yard and be right there. To swim in the ocean I recommend water shoes as the beach has rocks/old coral. A little to the left is sandy though. We tried to snorkel but the water wasn’t very clear. It was actually always windy (early morning, all day, and at night). Not sure if that’s how it always is. I loved walking on the beach though, it felt like you were on a deserted island! I rarely saw another person and the buildings you can see are easy to ignore. We couldn’t get the TV to work with the remote provided even after putting in new batteries. Not a big deal for the adults but the kids wanted to watch a movie at night. Be aware the plates, bowls, and most of the drinkware are plastic. Maybe not an issue for some people, but we like using real stuff. You are literally in paradise so it isn’t a big deal, but something to be aware of. All communication from the owner and the local coordinator was great, quick and clear. We walked down to a little market for basics like water and eggs. Highly recommend Waikiki Beach and Food if they are open while you are there!

Great views

This property has a great view in the backyard. My children ages 4to8 enjoyed the pool as well. The house was clean however the house needs major updating. The walls are cracked throughout the house, the kitchen is very old and had all old plastic plates and cups. Also please know that this property is 1.5 hours away from the airport. When staying at this property you will definitely need to rent a car as the closest coffee shop is 25 min away. There is not much to do around the area except for a bar that is 15min away it's open all week the rest of the bars open only on the weekends. We were not able to find a decent place to eat dinner with the kids all week. The ocean in the back of the house is extremely rocky and it's not swim friendly, however there is a sand beach about 15 min away.

nice beach house away from it all

If you are looking to get away from crowds then this is the place for you! Although it is on a very busy road, it wasn’t loud at night or in the back of the house. The small pool is very nice and the backyard amazing! A couple things that would have been nice is better explanation of all the keys handed to you. We figured it out as we went but a mark on each key or color to distinguish it from the rest would be helpful. Also it would have been helpful to come into the place with some simple supplies like dish soap, bar soap, paper towels. Some of the dishes were not clean also and the bathroom by the master bedroom could have been cleaned better. These are minor things if you look at the big picture of the beautiful property.

Ocean Retreat

My family of 5 stayed here over spring break and enjoyed every minute of it! The views of the beach were stunning, our kids loved playing in the pool for hours, and I loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves. There were beach front restaurants within walking distance that we visited and enjoyed some local sangria. We used this as our home base and did day trips to Old San Juan and El Yunque National Forest. We plan on booking this place on our next visit❤️

Gorgeous beachfront in Patillas

On the beach with its beautifully changing seascape, hypnotic waves, & bliss-inducing breezes, we truly enjoyed our two week stay here! Casa Brisas Del Mar’s structural layout maximizes its ocean view and the house layout blesses its ambience with natural light. The 3 bedrooms (2 bathrooms!) are nicely appointed, and the outside deck overlooks the backyard, a small pool & the Caribbean. We loved spending time on the deck & also in the glorious light-filled sitting/family entertainment room, and walking the pebbly beach (beach shoes recommended!). The all-plastic plates/glasses kitchen seemed somewhat incongruous with this property, more suitable for carry out meals - there are several restaurants within a short drive - than for any serious cooking (the gas stove lacks broil, bake maxes @ 250*: even boiling water for pasta requires patience) and many usually anticipated kitchen furnishings were surprisingly absent (microwaveable plates, a reasonable selection of pans, etc) as well as typically supplied items such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, detergent for the washing machine, etc. We were also surprised that the property manager never met us on arrival or provided any orientation (it took us several days to get the hang of the place) and remained somewhat unavailable. Overall, however, for the location, price, & view, Casa del Brisas Del Mar is a *bargain* - particularly for families with children. Highly recommended!

Heaven

This was our first trip to Puerto Rico and we are in love with this little island. The house was set in a quiet area on the south side of the island and was perfect for our first visit. We did a couple of day trips but most of our time was spent on the beach just laying about. The thing we almost missed was the fruit, we stopped at a stand down the road and the pineapple was awesome the avacados were spectacular not to mention the people at the stand. Loved it and will definitely return.

Relaxing beautiful beachfront house

Beautiful place to stay and relax. Everything was as listed enjoyed staying there. Everything we needed in one place, so peaceful and did I say beautiful. Two things I would mention as a bit of a negative (but I still gave it a 5star cuz would definitely stay there again) the beach area is great for taking a walk, get your feet wet and picking up shells but not swimming. We took our snorkeling gear thinking we could swim everyday and even tho other beach areas are close by, not the same as if it was right there. The second thing is that since the house is right by the road (like most of the properties there) it can get a bit loud on the weekends. The rest of the days didn't even notice. This is more just FYI for the next person. Overall recommend and would consider staying there again had the most wonderful time.

Made family memories

After a long year of lockdown with the Covid pandemic, our family needed bonding time more than ever. This home was the perfect spot to stay away from crowds, tourists, etc. The pool kept the grandkids busy for hours! While the beach wasn’t perfect sand like most tourists long for, it didn’t disappoint on views! We found local beach paradise not far away that reminded us of some far away exotic islands. Again, no hustle, bustle...just peace and quiet. This area of the island was exactly what we longed for as a family. Peace, quiet and away from the crowds. The beauty of the mountains was also a bonus.l! Irene, the property manager was wonderful! You could contact her at any time to answer questions. The owners, Aida and Greg were also wonderful to deal with. They were humble, offered wonderful suggestions to make our stay special and went far beyond to give our family exactly what we were looking for. If you’re looking for fast paced action, then this is not the place for you. If you want a charming get away, someplace quiet with a knockout view, a chance to rub elbows with locals, then this is as close to paradise as you can get!! Thank you Aida and Greg for letting us enjoy your beautiful home!!!

About the host

Hosted by Aida Plaud

I was born and raised in this once-small fishing village called Emerald of the South (Esmeralda del Sur). Greg, on the other hand, was born and raised in Minnesota. He fell in love with Puerto Rico, especially this beautiful ocean-side community, the first time he visited my family 20 years ago. He became captivated by the green mountains, blue sky, and beautiful light blue ocean waters. Since I left my beautiful island, I always wanted to go back. So, I purchased this quaint Caribbean getaway and remodeled it into a 3 bedroom home with amazing ocean views. Now, owning and sharing a piece of paradise with others is truly a blessing.

Why they chose this property

I was born and raised in this lovely paradise town, and I want others to know and enjoy this beautiful quaint town. It is one of the best locations for any family who loves to be close to nature and yet still enjoy other island activities!!! The property provides a reasonable, comfortable place for the family to reunite and make memories.

What makes this property unique

The house is warm and welcoming, with panoramic ocean views and mountains. Whether you enjoy a relaxing day at the beach, a full-day excursion, sitting on the open balcony taking in the Caribbean, or watching sunsets with drinks, rest assured you will feel at home. We invite you to see why this town is called Emerald of South (Esmeralda Del Sur). It will be a memorable experience for the entire family!!!
The first time I entered the home, I was mesmerized by the view of the ocean and the thought of having the beach as my backyard. It was amazing how it totally relaxed me and reduced my stress level. It was not only the view but the breezes coming off the ocean, the sound of the waves breaking and the warmth of the sun, or the coolness of the shade.
