Cold Showers, Unlocked Door on Arrival, and Unprofessional Host

While the home was generally clean and well-located, our stay was disappointing due to several issues. The front door was unlocked when we arrived, and cleaning supplies and trash were left on the deck. There was no hot water during our two-night stay, despite being told it was fixed. The host dismissed it as “user error”—something echoed in reviews going back to 2022. If that many guests struggle, it suggests a flawed system, not incompetent users.Even more frustrating, the host suggested we overlook the hot water issue, as we had enjoyed a house with “power, comfortable bedding, beds, and linens, air conditioning...”—basic amenities we reasonably expected when paying for a property advertising as much. This dismissive and condescending tone overshadowed any comfort the home might have offered. Respectful communication and accountability would have made all the difference.

Hilltop View

This house is an easy drive to all the beaches and restaurants but also away from town so that you have privacy. There is plenty of room and lots of beds. The washer/dryer are under the house and bring your own soap! I pack laundry strips. The views are great from this house. A jeep/car is needed to get up the steep driveway.

Book else where

My family was looking forward to a relaxing time and ended up cleaning flooded floors. My toddler and mother fell and we had to leave to find a safer place. The place had multiple leaks and that seemed have not been addressed in a while. There was also no hot water in the place.

The view exceeded our expectations. The driveway isn't for the faint of heart due to how steep and difficult to drive up and down, but the view was the payoff.

Very clean but the weeds were High. One air conditioner did not work the cabinets were not in good condition and the stairs to the loft area do not have handrail and are a real danger The beds comfortable as well as the refrigerators and furniture. The wood terrace is gorgeous. The entrance to the property is and adventure due to the inclination of the road. The owner request to dispose the garbage in private dumpsters that do not belong to her, which I consider improper. Will recommend the property but not for senior persons.

Impeccable Views

Although the location of the home is not where it is located in the listing (actually across the harbor), the views were glorious and it was a nice halfway point between town and Zoni. The host was extremely responsive and helpful to us prior to and during our stay. We had a great time!

Perfect place to call home base on the island

We did not expect to be taken away when we walked up the deck steps of such a breath taking view of the bay. We loved that the owners provided a cooler, beach chairs & towels. We loved the location of the home too, it’s close to Zoni beach and you get to drive along the bay side every time you want to come into town. I would love to stay again

A piece of heaven

The house is beautiful, perfect for our family. The stairs to the second floor were a little scary for me only because I have a 3yr old. The decor was great and the views were better. I love the island of Culebra is my favorite part about going to Puerto Rico. Communication with the owner was great too. I would definitely rent this property again.

Amazing views, secluded location

Overall we had a good experience staying at this house. A FWD car is highly recommended for this location. The owner is very responsive and helpful. If you have allergies to wasps bites, please ensure to address it in advance of booking as we had an unfortunate encounter and got attacked by the wasps when we were checking in. What likely happened is that we inadvertently disturbed a wasp nest on the front staircase that is a little wobbly and is not used often. We didn’t see the side stairs and were not told not to use the front staircase. To be fair, wasps are abundant on the island and wasp nests were present at another property we stayed on Culebra. The owner was very responsive and prompt in addressing the issue once we reported it.

Gorgeous view, great house, needs some work

The view can't be beat. It is stunning. The house is mostly very, very nice. Keila is quick to respond to text and email. Some provisions were great,, like many Beach and bath towels were provided.. However, a number of things need attending. I write this list with the hope that they will all be taken care of, and then it would be a super fabulous rental. Here is the list: fix hot water faucet in master bathroom, provide sheets that fit deep pocket mattress so they don't slip off every night, keep brush cleared from driveway, fix broken handles, cabinets, clean cabinets better, clean up area where washing machine is, fix broken "sleep" function on AC in master so that light goes off (too bright), provide clean scrubby,replace beach chairs with better straps and in better condition, mark cabinet with plates if you're going to put tape on it to hold it shut, fix deck and stairs, fix flopping rubber under cabinets, have info book with house (eg when is trash picked up so we know when we can leave trash out, as it was full) and local info, clean up loose trash around house, fix lock on door to deck, have beach umbrella or shade tarp available, bucket or hose outside for sandy feet, need metal spatula, clean paint speckles off dishes, knives sharpened, metal scrubby for pots, clean mold inside cooler, fix broken windows (didn't really bother us but would be goodbtobhave them working, repaint stains on walls, ceilings

Beautiful Location Atop a Hill

This property is beautiful. The views are breathtaking and the property is nice. The deck is a little sketch, the driveway is quite steep and there are a few minor improvements that could be made in the kitchen but in comparison to many other properties we've stayed at in Culebra this is one of the best. Our family of 5 loved it and would stay here again.

Not worth the money

"Luxurious" wouldn't be a word I would use to describe this place. It has a family vibe going on but definitely not luxurious. I would suggest renting a car, preferable a 4x4 to get to the place because it is up a very steep hill, which the owner failed to mention. I managed to get there in the golf cart almost by a miracle. The main set of stairs, which are part of the deck, were in fair condition. I would suggest replacing a few steps because some are broken or weak. The whole deck wasn't even painted and the yard could use some maintenance because the grass or weeds were coming through the steps. Only one outdoor light works that I could find and it only illuminates the deck. The owner's car was in the front, occupying space and it didn't look good having it there. There was trash and construction debris below the house where the laundry is located. That area could be used to store equipment for entertainment, including the beach chairs which were outside the house getting wet and full of rust and mold. Snorkeling equipment was on the deck on the floor along with a cooler in poor condition. The inside of the house wasn't that clean. There were lizard droppings in the master bedroom on the floor and walls. The oven has rust. The kitchen cutting board had mold. A handle on one of the kitchen cabinets was broken. The roof leaks on the family/living room through the ceiling lamp. It also leaks on the guest bathroom, which the shower is very small and uncomfortable. And it also leaks on the master bedroom bathroom and the loft room on the second floor. I almost slipped twice because of it, and the owner also failed to mention it. One of the windows on the second-floor room was open, the lock did not work. This is a safety hazard for the occupants. The ceiling lamp light bulb from the second-floor room did not work. There were personal belongings of the owner in every closet of the rooms that had a closet, and two of them didn't have a hanger bar. The two kitchen windows didn't have curtains. This might seem like a privacy issue. There was mold around the kitchen faucet. There was barely any hot water coming out of the shower faucets, I did tell the owner and she instructed me on something to do to fix it but it didn't work completely, water was still coming out almost cold after the first 2 minutes of turning it on. My friends and I didn't like our stay. I would suggest having a telescope. The views during the day and the starry night made it okay.

Amazing view/Great Family Home

This was a great home for our family of 5. It was clean on arrival, had all of the necessities and easy checkin. Keile was so helpful with information well before our stay and immediately responsive during our stay when we had questions and an issue with WiFi. The location was perfect…absolutely amazing view from the hilltop home, with beautiful sunsets each evening from the deck, main living space and kitchen. Nicely secluded, but easy to get to all of the beaches and town. Steep driveway, Jeep or Broncho is best for it, but that is how you get to the amazing view! The kids loved the driveway! The cupola room was the one everyone wanted to stay in because of the 360 view, but needs to be considered as potential seasonal use depending on the bug situation…which is to be expected on an island! We had a great stay in this wonderful home!

Great views and easy access to the house

We believe that the cleaning of the house has to be more deep and also too many bugs so they need to exterminate more often inside the house. Also we never didi we found the dock area. Overall a good experience.

Almost Great

Everything went well. Awesome view. Overall nice accommodations. Good location. Decent decor. Minor issues such as no beach towels, malfunctioning hair dryer and other minor discrepancies. The property was not dirty, but not impecable either. New door rooms were a great addition. Also good beach chairs and a cooler. Definitely need a 4x4 to access. Biggest issue by far was the fact that we did not have water for a day. The owner was very responsive throughout and kept us informed of developments, still you would expect some kind of provisions (water tank as a min.) for events like these common in PR. Would stay again if this one miss is addressed.

Beautiful location

Family of 6 with 4 teens This location is amazing. Views are unbeatable and the deck is wonderful in the evenings as the sun goes down. House interior is lovely and beds are comfortable. Plenty of seating. Adequately appointed. We are from the north. To us the loft is terribly hot an unusable as there are no screens on the windows. Do not count on this bed space. The laundry is located outside under the house. This is not super convenient and it is difficult to manage the washer without hitting your head. But it works and clothes came out clean and dry. As this was our first trip to Culebra I can not compare to other accommodations but I do think this is priced a bit high considering the loft is not truly useable for sleeping.

Great stay on Culebra at Playa Sardinas/Villa Pugue

We loved our stay at this house. It was comfortable, clean, with OUTSTANDING views! One update is that all the bedrooms on the main floor have doors - and they all have their own AC units & ceiling fans. There are two twin beds in the way upstairs/loft area (that little roof top that you see in the picture) We didn't have to use those beds, but they may be considered the short straw - might be a little hot (although the windows do open for good air flow, and the space is really neat). The kitchen was great - fully equipped which was so appreciated since many restaurants were closed due to Covid. Comfy couches, great TV. I had a couple of questions for the owner during our stay and she was so responsive! Followed up to make sure we were all set with everything. I would definitely rent this house again, it's a gem.

Paradise indeed!!

Although I grew up in Puerto Rico I had never visited this island. It is amazingly beautiful!! Villa Pugue is perfectly isolated and with the best views!! You can see the sunrise and the sunset. And I. The evening prepare yourself for a night sky show!! A very comfortable home with just enough amenities. And even though we came here during tight Pandemic restrictions we were able to navigate the rules and enjoy ourselves!! We will certainly return!!
