What a beautiful beach home! The pictures don't show the true beauty of this home. As I walked into the home I was welcomed with a wonderful view of the ocean from the kitchen window. The home was clean and was big enough for 6 women to sleep comfortable. Check-In process was easy and the owner gave us so many options for places around the area. I would recommend this home to family and friends. I hope to visit again soon!

Beautiful stay

The neighborhood is a little run down but most of pr is due to hurricanes in the past.. but they are slowly but surely rebuilding. I circled around the entire island and our family felt right at home where we were. We were open minded with the location and it turned out the best. If you are looking for a place to feel right at home, welcomed and smaller shops to buy local. This is the house for you. Discover pr the real way. This house does not disappoint and neither does the location. Excellent food choices in the area and the beach was amazing. I would stay again and again. Thank you so much for being an excellent host.

Great house!

We really enjoyed our stay at Canary Castle. The house was very clean and well-maintained.The ocean view is gorgeous and the pool was terrific. The owner was very easy to work with and answered any questions promptly. This house has everything you could possibly need for a fabulous vacation. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the appliances, dishes and utensils you would want. The bbq worked well and we enjoyed sitting outside eating dinner. We definitely will stay here again.

Canary Castle

First, The alarm to enter the front door was a bit tricky. There are 2 front doors, so I assumed the alarm pad was next to the front door that the lock box was on, I was wrong! Second, The Musky smell on the inside of the house lingered with our clothes when we got home. The beds were not comfortable for my wife, any of them. The back door really needs some kind of latch on it to keep it shut. The door next to the sec pad has louvers on it, there go directly to the outside, so you hear very clearly noise and the heat comes in as well. The outside back by the pool has seen it's better days. The outside bar is treible and unable to use. The pool is solar heated, meaning the sun heats it. The beach & scenery towards the ocean is Fricken Awsome! I coulds pick on everything that I found wrong with this vaca home. But because of hurricanes damage & the surrounding neighborhood which is not the owners fault. And finally, The owners, I could not have asked for better folks to have the pleasure to deal with, Unfortunately I became very, very ill and had to leave 4 days early & fly back to a hospital (again, no fault of the owners). The owners stayed in contact with me during my return to the states and after my hospital stay, Great Folks. Would we return to Canary Castle, No. FootNote: A monetary return of 4 days would have been a nice gesture, Just Sayin :)

Tropical Paradise :-)

This is a perfect house for a tropical beach getaway!! BOOK IT! Not only is it literally steps from the beach and has an amazing pool also (bigger than others, and big enough for the whole family and then some!) it is so uniquely decorated and homey! It has everything you need. Kitchen is stocked with any supplies you need, a big gas grill too. There’s even a full indoor bathroom outside! Bruce was easy and quick to communicate with also. We had two windows that needed the closing and opening mechanism replaced and he sent his handyman over the next day! And not have AC in the main living area was a non issue because the ocean breeze was awesome and they have several heavy duty ceiling fans. Heads up too, there is a great supply of spices, etc, vanilla extract, cinnamon, onion and garlic powder, Goya, salt, pepper, and honey! (Some of that bought by us and left there) Only caveat…when you do your big grocery shopping for your stay, get extra toilet paper. What was supplied only lasted us 3 days, we had 7 adults :-).

Best place In the Beach!!

The pics in the site do not really show how wonderful and beautiful this place is, the beach is literally few steps from the house , the view magnificent, the sound of the waves totally relaxing!! I will definitely be back to this house in paradise!

Simply amazing

Pulling up to the property we were concerned with the accuracy of the pictures, but once inside those concerns were laid to rest. From the street this place seems like any ordinary house, but once inside it opens up to an amazing view of the beach, which is just steps away. It’s is as though you have your own private beach with the nicest cleanest sand you can imagine. We loved the pool and playing in the waves of the ocean. We would definitely stay here again. It was the perfect family getaway spot.

Very nice vacation home.

Great rental for families, my kids loved the outdoors, the only minus would be the living room/dining room area lacked air conditioning, ceiling fans were present.

Great stay

Place was as described except the view from the pool. This place has the best view of the beach and ocean from the pool!!! Felt like a home and Bruce and Belinda were wonderful. They answered our questions promptly and were very helpful. They did not have strict rules for check in or check out as other rentals. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Couldn’t have picked a better place!

Canary castle was simply amazing! It’s beautiful and had everything we hoped it would. Belinda was very communicative throughout and was a great host. We’d absolutely stay here again! It was clean, had enough towels for everyone, had toiletries, kitchen was equipped with everything you need for cooking. A lot of common areas and the beds were good. The atmosphere outside was great, we had breakfast there every morning.

Wonderful property and owners!

Property is incredible and accurately described. Very clean and comfortable. For us the beach behind the property was the best part of the property. Sand is super soft, water and waves were great for our kids and it’s literally 10 steps from back gate of property. Beach felt very private too...we didn’t see anyone. Rooms and beds were very comfortable. AC units worked well in all bedrooms. The owners were super nice and easy to work with. They communicated very timely and answered all of our questions. They even checked in with us multiple times during our week stay to make sure we were good to go. We would stay at Canary Castle again as well as recommend to our friends and family.

Fantastic house and location

This house is extremely comfortable, and great for families. The outdoor space is relaxing, with lots of shade and nice seating areas, including the hammocks. The beach was right out the gate and we had it almost to ourselves. Convenience stores and a few restaurants are within walking distance, and much more within a short drive.

Perfect seaside vacation home!

Our family of 5 stayed at Canary Castle for 10 days in July 2016 and would have stayed longer. Just the view and backdoor setting are worth the stay! But it is also very spacious, comfortable, nicely decorated and has everything to make you feel right at home. Its location allowed us to explore many parts of the country which we loved. The owner was very accommodating and responded to all our questions prior to arrival. Teresa and Rafael waited for us until midnight the night of our arrival because our flight was delayed and it was greatly appreciated. I would gladly recommend this vacation home. Thank you for making our summer 2016 vacation a wonderful experience!

Outstanding!

The house felt extremely warm and homely. Beautifully decorated. Every room in the house felt comfortable and relaxing. There was not one place I didn't want to relax in. The view was outstanding and intoxicating. The owners were sweet and warm and made us feel very welcomed. Would definitely be back next year and would recommend it to anyone visiting Puerto Rico, even though we would like to keep it our little secret.
