About this house rental

★★★★★ "We had an amazing time in this lovely home"

Come enjoy tropical clean solar eco-conscious living, close to everything! Float in calm warm ocean, bask in the tropical sun on our Blue Flag Beach & explore El Yunque Nat’l Rainforest. Our 5br 3ba solar-powered private hilltop oasis is a peaceful refuge that accommodates 16+ humans too. 2 full kitchens, 3 living rooms, 4 office-type work spaces with desks, patios, balcony, fire pit, just 4 blocks to the sea.

Perched atop the closest neighborhood to Luquillo's renowned Kioskos with 50+ bars, shops & restaurants and Marriott Fairfield's new Casino, we are walking distance to El Balneaario Monserrate, Playa Fortuna, Luquillo Beach, Playa Azul Playa La Pared, as well as the sea outlets of both the Pitahaya and Mameyes rivers. We are 2 miles from Carabalí Rainforest Adventure Park, and just 4 miles from the park entrance of El Yunque National Forest - the only tropical rainforest in the US National Park Service!

After you've dusted off the fine sand from the beach where you soaked for hours in the bathtub calm warm ocean, sipped your piña colada, walked among giant rainforest leaves, had your hydro-message in drop pools the tropical waterfalls, and taken in a bit of the culture, relax and enjoy the security and comfort of our home away from home. Enjoy access to everything from our centrally located home. Our Solar-Powered, spacious, and well appointed accommodations afford you comfort and tranquility.

Sip your morning coffee under the awnings out front on our exterior slab benches to take in the hilltop water views, or conversely, enjoy a cool drink out back and watch the rolling hills of El Yunque turn golden in the evening light.

In our two full kitchens you’ll find all the cook's best friends - new appliances, proper utensils and flatware, and everything you’ll need should you choose to cook. Enjoy the sea view from the built-in booth or spread out on our large expandable dining room table upstairs (seats 8) or the other three other dining tables we have available. If your preference is dining al fresco, our covered outdoor patio can accommodate seating for 10 with lovely countryside views of El Yunque and the sea as well.

All bedrooms have top of the line inverter ACs, as do the common areas upstairs. Our “wave” ceiling fans downstairs efficiently keep the common areas cool and comfortable.

We have four (4) dedicated work-spaces feature high-speed internet and stable wifi for when you feel like journaling, writing, or simply knocking out some of those persistent office tasks and Zoom meetings. Thanks to our wifi extenders, the property interior has a strong signal throughout (ranging from 200 to 500 mbps).

When you’re ready to relax and play a board game, we have four lounge areas available to play some cards, read a book or stream something on our SmartTVs -we have four (4) TVs: a 55", a 50", a 40" and a 32" - as well as deep and comfortable sofas you can sink into with your popcorn and enjoy a show.

If you need anything before you arrive or while you’re here, we have our own little guest shop full of essentials and services that we continue to add to and improve. So, if you'd like to arrive to a pre-stocked kitchen, relax with a soda or a snack, book an extra mid-stay clean or a check-out time extension, or just forgot your toothbrush, we've got you covered!
