Family Vacation

Had family group ranging in age from 5 months to 89 years and everyone had a blast! The property was beautiful with beach access and ocean views.

Great beachfront home for a large group

We were very happy with our accommodation. Easy check in and checkout. Excellent communication. Very clear instructions. This is the perfect place for large groups to rent because the upstairs has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and the downstairs are three separate studio apartments with two queens. There’s even a crib, toddler bed, and pack’n’play for littles. There are boogie boards and excellent waves. Make sure to pack the bug spray! Every place we have stayed in Puerto Rico, there are little bugs that pack an itchy bite. They come out at sundown so you can avoid them by staying inside. It is on a busy road so you will hear cars driving by and loud music, which is typical in most cities in Puerto Rico. Very cold A/C. Tons of parking inside the gate. The beach is stunning and huge!

Beautiful spot

The ocean view was fantastic. The property was well kept and clean. The one thing I didn’t like was the spiral stairway going up to the next two levels.

Atlantic Sand

The place was awesome! It accommodated all of us and we had laundry facility on both floors. We had a power outage which was taken care quickly and the generator worked quickly. My guests were very pleased with location, we were celebrating our 50th Anniversary.

Beautiful place to host a wedding!

My wife and I were looking for a place to host our wedding. We both love the beach and the thought of having a ceremony right on the beach was a dream of ours and Javier’s place helped us make that dream a reality! The house was very comfortable for everyone who stayed there, the pool area was a great place for the younger kids (and adults) to hang out, and the beach area right off the backyard was incredible! We definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking to host a small wedding in PR right from their VRBO.

Family week and wedding at the beach

We had a family of 9 adults, an infant and a 4 year old staying for 5 nights in January. We had a small wedding (the other family rented a VBRO next to ours) on the beach with a reception held on the roof top of this home. They have 4 tables with seating for 24 plus a large outdoor sectional and a couple chaise chairs all on the roof top! The lighting was not the best but we contacted Javier and Lupe and they strung light all around which made it even more perfect. The 3 suites on the ground level were perfect for 3 of the adult couples to have their own space. Beds were clean and comfortable. The pool is very nice and kept clean, there is plenty of outdoor seating plus pool and sand toys for the kids. Also plenty of towels and cookware. Outdoor showers to clean off the sand from the beach was nice. There are plenty of really good restaurants within minutes (a brand new bar/ restaurant right across the street earned our business- C & P Gastrobar ). Plenty of sight seeing and hiking opportunities nearby. Javier and Lupe were very easy to contact and very helpful. I highly recommend this place if you have a large group get together.

Outdoor Paradise

Highly recommend this property. Javier was a very responsive host. The layout was perfect for our group of friends allowing for space to get together and our own private spaces. The interior was adequate but the outside space was perfection!!! The views are gorgeous and there are areas for relaxing and hanging out. We enjoyed sitting watching the ocean, moving to the pool when we got warm then relaxing in the hammocks in the afternoon. In the evenings we played cards (provided) around the pool bar. Having the exterior restrooms by the pool was so convenient. All the things you need to enjoy paradise are right there. Coolers, chairs, umbrellas, floats and beach towels are all provided. The beach towels are actually large and thick. Don’t bother to bring your own. Restaurants and grocery are minutes away. Iguanas and lizards entertained us daily. If you love outdoor living at the beach, this is the place to pick!!!!

Absolutely Perfect!

Our group of 12, ages 9 to 65, had an incredible time here. Whether you're sitting on the rooftop, lounging around the pool, or relaxing in the hammocks, the views are amazing! There's plenty of bedrooms, allowing everyone to sleep comfortably. The three hotel style rooms offered a quiet retreat for those who appreciated a peaceful place to rest, while the day's activities continued in the main house and outside. The beds were all very comfortable. The main house and 3 separate bedrooms were consistently a comfortable temperature. Having multiple bathrooms was great for our large group. We especially appreciated the two pool side bathrooms during the day. There's many activities to keep guests busy, including beach volleyball, a basketball hoop, and pool toys. Although we didn't spend much time in the hot tub, it was available and perfectly located on the rooftop. The house is well maintained and clean. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals. There were plenty of towels for bathing and several beach towels available. There is a fee for doing laundry. That wasn't a concern, but it's helpful to know in advance. Javier and Lupe were very responsive and helpful anytime I reached out to them. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying here again in the future.

Isolte

If you are looking to immerse yourself in culture this is the place to be. There are tons of food trucks, bakeries, fresh markets, and even a wal-mart/outlet mall nearby. The highlights: The layout of the home is perfect for individual groups. There are 3 double bed apartments on the bottom and a larger main level. The view is amazing, you are directly on the beach and the house pool is decent sized. Beds were comfy. Maintenence came a few times during our stay to mow and clean the pool. Needs improvement: I did not recieve check-in information until 8 pm the day prior which caused a lot of panic, communication there after was much better. At no fault to the host, please note the biting bugs are no joke. Bug spray is required at all times. The house is dated and could use some repair, shelves falling in refrigerator and shower. Boogie boards were broken upon arrival, host was aware but no offer to remedy. Water temperature between the house and hot tub are horrible. Faucet heads have to be in the perfect spot to get hot. Hot tub is a lukewarm bath at best, we asked maintenance to turn up the heat and he told us we were crazy, checked the timer, and it never got any hotter. Basketball net is hanging by threads. The spiral, outside, metal staircase between floors is deadly. It mists almost every most so the stairs are always wet. We had lots of banged up ankles from slipping. Overall for the size and location this fit our needs, but the amentitiesdcouldhighlights

Excellent beach house for multiple families

Our group consisted of 3 families and there was plenty of rooms and privacy for all. The lower rooms worked great for couples. We loved the pool, easy access to the beach, and the rooftop deck was fabulous in the evenings. Everything was in the kitchens to make feeding a dozen people relatively simple. There's plenty of seating areas to socialize outside, when it's not too muggy, and AC was reliable if it's too hot. The property is not located in a tourist area, which bothered a couple of our guests, but that should already be clear based on the location. There are a few local places to eat, and the nightlife on the street is active. It's great if you're not trying to sleep, adds some local flair. But the rooms do not block any outside noise, at all! The beach is not very friendly waters, you'll have to travel a couple miles for that. Lots of harsh waves and strong undertow. We were able to try surfing, but wore out quick. It was great to have the boards and life jackets available at the house. Maybe it's better at different tides, it looked calm every morning. This would be a five star rental if little things weren't broken. Lots of bad chairs on the roof, a lower unit had really bad mildew smell, pool lights hanging out of the wall, hot tub was a lobster pot with no working controls. Internet was not working half the time each day. Nothing to ruin your trip, but could be fixed up.

A+ for beach access, but overall needs TLC

Pros: The view really is spectacular! Nothing beats waking up, opening your door and being steps away from the beach. Sand is soft and clean, just like in the pics. If you can get over all of the cons, it is a good option (and probably the most affordable one that can accommodate a large group) to create beautiful memories in PR! Cons: The place is outdated, but that’s no surprise from the pictures- it’s a modest stay. The other reviews about a musty, damp smell is right. It was especially bad in the middle downstairs suite, and although there was a new dehumidifier, it still didn’t help much. We had some rain during our stay which intensified the smell and made the metal wrap up staircase to go upstairs extra slippery. That staircase really is no joke so consider yourself warned! The rain also caused some muddy, flooded areas of the grass that we had to maneuver around. You’ll need quarters to do any laundry. The pool is under a palm tree so you’ll need to do some cleaning to get rid of debris. Lastly, if you’re planning to visit the main tourist areas like Old San Juan, El Yunque, Fajardo, etc be prepared to be on the road for more than an hour or two each way. In retrospect, we would have stayed closer to the metro area since Arecibo is farther away from every where we wanted to visit. And by the time we got back to the house in the evening, mostly all of the nearby restaurants were closed (by 8pm).

Arecibo Paradise

My stay at the beach house in Arecibo, Puerto Rico was unforgettable. The property was incredibly clean and well-maintained, making it feel like a true home away from home. The private pool was stunning—crystal clear and perfect for relaxing any time of day. Best of all, the beach was just steps away, giving us easy access to breathtaking ocean views and peaceful walks along the shore. The combination of comfort, beauty, and location made this an amazing experience I’d absolutely recommend.

Incredible Place

The house was clean, cold, and comfortable. There were some issues with shower and sink leaks but they were handled immediately upon notifying the host so no problem. The back yard, pool area, and beach areas could not be beat. Breathtakingly beautiful. The rooftop tables were amazing! Fortunately there was an amazing breeze while we were there so no see um and mosquito problems were nonexistent. Location is pretty much off the beaten path so don’t expect 5 star restaurants or a big nightlife. But the bar across the street was fantastic and accommodated 19 people. The grocery store just down the street had everything you needed and great coffee and empanadas. Açaí food truck within walking distance, nice restaurant within walking distance but honestly the fact that the back yard was so private and so beautiful was everything you could ask for. My family would book this house again in a heart beat if we go back to Puerto Rico. Javier was an incredible host!

Amazing Oasis!!

I cannot say enough about the amazing stay we had the house was more than I expected. It was breathtaking. We had a small wedding ceremony on the grounds we could not do the beach as the sand was too hot but it didn’t stop us from having the time of our lives. Our adult kids and their spouses and our grandchildren spent an amazing time. They said it was the best time they had. Javier was great always answering inquiries quickly. This is an amazing location you can tell Javier takes pride of n his Oasis!!

Very nice place for a big family

Very nice place with beautiful pool and pool bar. We enjoyed the property in front of the beach with hughe waves and also the nearby impressive bathing fun at ' La Poza del Obispo' next to the lighthouse.The only minus was the loud noise from the street at the late evening and night in the bedrooms. You had to get used to it.

Great Amenities and Very Spacious

The views of the ocean, the large, open backyard with pool and hot tub were perfect! Access to the beach was amazing. Loved the back covered porch for eating meals and viewing the ocean. The rooftop was nice but we didn’t spend much time up there. The hosts were very friendly and responsive to any issues.Some small improvements would make this an “excellent” rating such as better mattresses, consistent water temps in showers and sinks and an easier “key” system (digital locks). We did see previous comments about the street traffic/noise at night so that is another issue that unfortunately cannot be controlled. Lastly, the gardeners came and mowed the lawn (probably there 1.5 hrs) so that disturbed our peace a little bit.

Great Property

The property was amazing! Excellent set up for a larger group. Javier was very attentive and immediately took care of the one minor issue we had. The pool was well-maintained and having immediate access to the uncrowded beach was a huge plus! There were only two issues that we experienced that were negatives. First, the sand fleas were horrible. We took bug spray and used it constantly, but it did not stop the bites at all. We all came home with hundreds of bites and horrible discomfort. We did see the other reviews that mentioned them, but had no idea how bad they were. I don't know a lot about sand fleas, but they were bad enough, it would keep us from returning to the property. The other issue is the isolation of the property from stores, restaurants, shopping. There are a couple of restaurants close by, but there aren't any convenience stores, grocery stores, etc. close by. Don't plan on any delivery services (not a deal breaker, but there are ZERO options available). When the listing says there are options close by, I think there is a huge difference in interpretation of close by :) That being said, Javier was very friendly and helpful. I wish the property was in a better location and the sand fleas weren't so bad. It was a perfect set-up for us and our three adult children to all have our own space but spend the week together. If the sand fleas were able to be exterminated, I would definitely consider staying there again.
