It was truly a "Nature Lover's Escape." Julius and Sylvia were amazing hosts and gave so many great recommendations for our stay. We had a private beach and access to the nature preserve for hiking, fishing, birding which was amazing. The house was clean, comfortable and spacious. Shopping and great food are near by. The best part was nature all around... trees, birds, wildlife. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

The house and the location were lovely and fit our needs very well. Being able to walk to the beach was great as were the many beaches close by. Restaurants and a local market were also within 5-10 minutes and were very reasonable. The backyard was very nice and being right next to the preserve was beautiful.

Very welcoming concierge who helped us in a couple of ways (dining recommendations, locating the unit in the dark, and when we had to mail back one of the keys we accidental took home with us). Good space in the house - more than enough for the 4 of us. We got to see a great show by the iguana one morning from the back deck - so cool. Walking to the nature preserve was so convenient.

fantastic location and helpful owner

This home is in a fantastic location. If you are looking for peace and quiet, close to nature and access to the beach this is the place. The owner and property manager were easy to reach and very responsive. Check in was easy. If you stay here make sure to go to Marejadas (right outside the entrance) for breakfast or brunch and Daniel's for dinner.

Not quite as described

The pool is not on the property...and when you get to the rental, there are two different postings about it. One says enjoy the pool dawn to dusk and another Bolder print says pool from 10am to 7pm. I used the pool very little and it was one of the main accommodations I wanted. I enjoy early mornings and night swimming. I am glad that I didnt bring the 3 teenagers I had intended, as i wanted them to be able to play and the area has all older people who probably wouldn't appreciate yelping teens. You have to haul a kayak a quite a ways through the trees to use it..the area right behind the house actually had what looked like human feces floating in it. The grill had no propane..and if there's an outdoor shower..There's no direction to find it, the door to the carport from the inside appears to be sealed. The house is tidy. Mid 80s style, I found a plastic chair to put in the living room, as the furniture is fabric..with wet suit on. It was conveniently located. I'd recommend for over 50, who aren't really pool people. The beach is stunning..but strong current..also not good for the youth..or frail. The app isn't allowing for photos to be uploaded.

Nice location near the beach

The property manage sent driving directions early, but not the directions/code to get into the property. Those were sent the day of travel, but we traveled from 2AM until 10P, so we didn’t get them. The owner was very responsive when I called. He connected me with the manager & eventually she let us in, explained the property & addressed our questions. The next day some of our group left. 2 hours later the property’s electricity was turned off. (Our member at the house was making dinner.) After a quick text, it was turned back on. The home is a block from a very lovely beach and a nice hiking area. There are restaurants within walking distance. It is convenient to shopping/groceries & the freeway.

Nice stay, but with some disappointments...

We were very excited about our stay and, for the most part, it was terrific. The house and property is spacious. We were a smaller group but the property was suitable for much larger groups. Clean, quiet, safe gated community was just what we were looking for and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. The pool provided an awesome and tranquil escape on some very hot days in July. Lots of great cuisine and nature-lover activities within a short drive away. Great a/c and excellent Wi-Fi. Communications with the concierge Sylvia was excellent. Unfortunately, though, there were some disappointments as well. The interior was superficially clean on the surface but in need of a deep-cleaning. Property and fixtures, including mattresses, sofa cushions, etc were much more dated, stained, and worn than indicated in the pictures. Also, while the property description is technically accurate, as others have noted the property and backyard border a muddy swampy area and does not provide access to the Reserve itself, though close by and accessible 9-5 daily from outside of the community. The private community beach is also close but still a 15-20 minute walk through the community to get to. In general, it's a peaceful and tranquil choice for a larger group looking for a pool, peaceful environment, and relatively close access to a reserve, "Cast A Way" type community beach, and proximity to good cuisine.

Older Concrete Home

You are staying at a concrete home as most of the homes are in Puerto Rico. It is in a gated community about 100yds from Punta Santiago beach. Beautiful subdivision. This house backs up to a nature reserve(As we call it in South MS, a swamp). It has water in it that is extremely muddy.(We did stay in July, so I don't know what the water looks like at other times of the year). We had only 5 people in the house but It can easily sleep 10 people. The home needs a little TLC but was perfect for us. Walmart is about 4 or 5 miles away. From this location you can easily travel to the mountains or other local beaches. The host was very attentive to what ever we needed.. Now the most important question is, Would I stay there again? Yes would love to stay there again and probably will try in the future

Quiet and peaceful

My family stayed for a week and we enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly as described on the interior and there was plenty of room for our 8 person family which included my elderly parents, grown children, and teenage grands. The backyard was lovely and the pool was a private oasis. The hosts responded to most questions immediately. We enjoyed the backyard gazebo and were surprised that there were very few flying insects to bother anyone. The gated community was quiet and we enjoyed fabulous food at the restaurants near the community and in nearby Punta Santiago. Many in our hroup and crabbed at the pier, swam in the natural pool at El Yunque, and walked the trails at the nature reserve. Lovely. However, i was disappointed and had to read the description of the home multiple times to see where i misunderstood. The home is near a private beach, but not on the beach, nor 100 steps away. You drive to the end of the street and down a block to the path that leads to the beach. The nature reserve is 3200 acres, but the house borders a non accessible swampy area, to access the reserve, you exit the community and drive 5 minutes down the road. Everything was very close, but i thought it was more walking distance from the home. Also, I was told the home was handicapped accessible and all on one level. There are stairs to the front door and two ledges down from the front entrance. Handicapped access was walking through the carport to the back door.

Our stay was wonderful, it was just myself and my 16 year old son. My son as many teenagers was less into activities and more into hanging out at the house relaxing. The home itself is quite spacious, we wanted a pool and the nature trails and therefore went bigger than needed, this home could easily fit a much larger family. The house was clean, quite comfortable, had everything we needed, the check in process was very easy. I stayed in touch with Sylvia here and there with questions and she was amazing, always sure to respond promptly. The pool was very refreshing on those hot days after wandering around the trails behind the property. The nearby reserve is literally your backyard. I spent a great deal of time hanging out with the lizards and taking photos of all the beauty around me. This is the first vacation in a long time that I felt truly relaxed and this was in big part this beautiful home. Thank you so much for having us!

Cute vacation home

The vacation home met our expectations. There was plenty of space for two adults, one 18-year-old, and two children to comfortably sleep and hang out. The air conditioning was powerful enough to combat the Puerto Rican heat and we were very comfortable. The property was inviting and the pool, once it was topped off to combat evaporation and we bought a skimmer to remove the mosquitoes each morning, was a good size and very enjoyable. The outdoor sitting area overlooking the edge of the nature preserve was lovely, and a great place to observe the large iguana who came out to feed on the mangoes and breadfruit that fell from the trees in the yard. 10am seemed to be iguana breakfast time. For our own meals, there was a delicious restaurant, Las Olas, right outside the main gate that we loved.

Nature lovers paradise!

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for us. The air conditioning was awesome after long days in the sun. We would sit at the table each night playing cards or monopoly before going to bed. Plenty of out door seating. Having the grill was very nice for dinners. The pool was fun and relaxing. Being from Indiana when we saw lizards or iguanas in the yard we would all run for our cameras every time. I spent every morning sitting on the patio drinking coffee watching the birds and turtles in the lagoon. There is a number of restaurants in the area all with great food. The beech was fun for walks and trying to catch the little crabs that scurry around the rocks. We spent a lot of time in Fajardo, which is just a short drive. This is where we walked the rainforest and swam in the clear and very warm river. There are also great beaches for snorkeling and boogie boarding. We will definitely be back. Thanks Julius!

Good a/c, Wi-Fi & warm water

Overall, we had a good stay. I feel like the property description is a bit inaccurate. The pool is shared with the property owner next door and can only be used between sunrise and sunset. The laundry facilities are actually at the owners home, which is next-door, and can only be used between sunrise and sunset. That is a bit difficult when a family of six is on vacation and has activities during the daytime hours. I was very disappointed about not having access to laundry facilities when I needed them. The property is older, but was clean with good AC, Wi-Fi, and plenty of warm water. We were very grateful for that. The host was helpful and attentive to our needs.
