Truly a private oasis.
There are 2 King beds and 4 Queen beds total. NO bunkbeds, so everyone has a comfortable place to sleep.

This home has everything you need and want. It has plenty of room for two families, 7 people in total. We felt safe. The pool was amazing! There’s plenty of games to play on rainy days for entertainment. Fyi, there are chickens and roosters running around crowing at all times but really didn’t bother us. Overall, A+++
4.8
We had 12 people in total, ages 6-70. Clean, modern property. We gave the large built-in pool lots of use! And there was plenty of pool and beach equipment to borrow. We grew up near farms so the roosters, ducks and dogs weren't really a problem though I could see where a city resident wouldn't be very happy with the nightly crowing. Overall, all 12 of us were very happy with the house!
4.8
This house is set up great. Several bedrooms; air conditioning in each room and two in the living airs made for great sleeping and staying cool during the day. All the amenities were a big plus; from chairs, coolers, towels, blankets, etc.

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Tropic Like It’s Hot. I absolutely loved how everything was labeled. It allowed you to know just what was expected and where to find everything. We were all very comfortable and enjoyed our stay.
4.8
The house was beautifully decorated with lots of amenities. The neighborhood had roaming chickens and roosters that made noise all night.

We enjoyed our time at Tropic like it’s hot. The home was spacious for 8 grown adults. The full size swimming pool was awesome as well. They have thought of everything. Thanks for having us in your home.
4.8
We had an incredible stay here and my family all enjoyed it, we’re comfortable, and we had fun in the sun swimming and looking up at the stars at night. The only trouble we had was with Uber pick ups and drop off, the address is difficult to find. I would highly recommend this house and host!
4.8
Lovely home with beautiful pool, everything you need is there! Also included are pool toys and beach chairs. The beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of room to spread out. Close to the beach and only a short drive from the airport. There were 7 people in our group, and everyone agreed this place an A+. Enjoy!

My husband and I took our 6 kids (ages 9-13) and my parents on vacation. This home couldn’t have been more perfect! The bedrooms were large and spacious as was the rest of the house. We absolutely loved the wrap around balcony! All the cabinets, drawers, and light switches were all labeled which was extremely helpful. The kids loved the pool and all the games. We felt extremely safe. They provide earplug to block out jungle noises but the sounds at night were so peaceful. We were so happy with our choice to rent this home for a week!

Over all everything as advertised,close to metro area
we would rent again,rental is very well kept

Great place for a family peaceful and beautiful sounds

Best vacation ever! The house was more than what we expected. My family enjoyed the pool every day after exploring the island. Nearby beaches and restaurants were a big plus. I recommend this home while traveling to Puerto Rico. You won't regret it.

First off, how cute is the outside? Such a fun, happy, island color! There is a huge pool (perfect temperature) with a waterfall, surrounded by a very spacious backyard and beautiful palm trees. There are lounge chairs and a table withumbrella, a putting green, too! The bedrooms have literally everything you need, with amazing mattresses and high quality bedding and blankets! Not to mention the cutest decor and colors! And ear plugs to block out jungle sounds at night. The house has so much space, with a game room, 2 dining tables and a huge plush (comfortable) couch. When are rental couches ever comfortable?! Well they are at this one! There is even a dedicated office space. The kitchen is equipped (and LABELED) with everything you’d have at home, and more, including an instant pot and air fryer. Oh and ziplock bags and Tupperware. All the furniture is such good quality. There are little touches everywhere, like in each room there are plugs/USB ports that are easy to reach, throws, laundry baskets, side lamp, mosquito fan and the decor is seriously the most adorable ever! There are boogie boards and beach towels and chairs, an a umbrella, a cooler that we took in the car every day filled with our cold drinks (this SAVED us, bc it’s so hot here and we were always thirsty). There was an AC unit in every room and it cooled the house down so quickly. The lights had fans that were super powerful and made it so pleasant to be inside. THEY THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING! Worth every penny.
4.8
Had a really nice stay here. Everything you need is here except your food and drinks. These owners really make it easy to get you on your way to vacationing and not having to go around shopping for all the necessary things to cook and clean and relax with. Just enjoy your stay and read the signs. Thanks guys!!!
4.8
Probably our best vacation rental experience! The house has anything you could need fully stocked (extra toiletries, pool floats, beach chairs, blankets, towels, etc.). When we were not out exploring, we were enjoying in the home (pool, game room, etc). The beds are extremely comfortable, ACs work great, kitchen is fully stocked! The location is also excellent; close to the rainforest, beaches, and great restaurants. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!

Beautiful home and had everything we needed. But i wish it would of been cleaner on the outside like the photos.
4.8
The home was absolutely beautiful. Very spacious and clean. Loved that there were labels all over so you knew exactly where everything was located. They have thoroughly thought out every space of the home. Communication was a breeze. Bedrooms are spacious beds were very comfortable. Plenty of beach chairs, towels toys, coolers, umbrella. Kitchen is fully equipped . I could go on an on. We had a wonderful time.

Tropic Like It’s Hot is the perfect home away from home! They have thought of everything, including all the beach equipment you could ever need, a well stocked kitchen, and clean and comfortable furnishings throughout the entire house. The pool was a wonderful place to relax after exploring all the beautiful sites in Puerto Rico. This was such a fun place to stay for our group of adults and teenagers and we will definitely be back. The owner was so easy to work with and made sure we had every little thing we needed. We can’t wait to visit again. Don’t miss out on this place!
4.8
