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!

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.

My family and I enjoyed PR, but were overall disappointed w the property. Beds were very uncomfortable, not enough bed linens- I actually had to go purchase extra blankets and then leave them behind because of suitcase room! We were expected to wash all the dishes, but not given adequate dish soap or papertowels. Also had to purchase more toilet paper and paper towels- things that should have been supplied. Working outlets were hard to find, the yard had dog poo and a broken fence that ultimately fell down during our stay. We made the best of our stay, and appreciated the kayak availability- but more negatives than positives for the money I spent.

Wonderful! Subdivision with private beach - but don't be scared by word subdivision - this was the best property in it, back yard abuts nature preserve; it didn't feel like there were neighbors at all. All we heard was birds and frogs and coquis surrounding us. Walk 3 minutes to private beach (check rip tide warnings before getting in), and if you walk 3 minutes along the beach you get to walking/running trails inside nature preserve. There was never anybody else on the beach when we were there (2nd week of April). Two ocean kayaks provided (but you'll want strong hands to haul them down to the ocean). Kitchen adequately stocked; nice pans, some basic spices. Kids' bedroom has 4 beds (looks like 3 in picture but there's a trundle.) We had plenty of space for two couples with two kids each; never felt crowded. Very clean; concierge very responsive. Air conditioning adequately powerful but generally we chose not to run it. Kids loved the pool. Endless rounds of Marco Polo were played while adults relaxed. Room for one car in garage but no concerns about street parking for 2nd car (for this or any other lodging outside of San Juan you will need rental car).

This was a great choice for our first ever trip to PR. Humacao is a little off the beaten path yet convenient to everything — San Juan, El Yunque, beaches at Loquillo, etc. The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Great, private yard, pool, deck and covered patio overlooking the wildlife preserve. Observed numerous bird species in the yard, and in the water just beyond. Short walk to the beach — which, while beautiful, was very natural and ungroomed. Lots of seaweed, drift wood, etc, very little trash. You can easily walk down the beach and into the Humacao Preserve, including a short climb up to El Morillo for spectacular views. The owners local restaurant recommendations were spot on, including Brisas Del Mar in Punta Santiago. If you weren’t in the mood for real local food, you can turn left and drive to an area with typical American restaurants closer to Humacao. Check in process was a little disjointed but I largely attribute that to our slightly early arrival. As the listing notes, this is not a resort — it’s in a real part of PR, and some of the homes in the neighborhood seem to be in disrepair or are still recovering from recent hurricanes. It is safe and secure — but like much of the area that is due people taking precautions (bars on windows, gates, etc.) As far as physical safety, we never felt threatened in any way — my wife walked to the beach on her own at night, and was perfectly safe. Will absolutely consider again if we go back to PR.

Perfect place for families! Very private and peaceful gated neighborhood. We didn’t see more than 6 people in a week! The back yard is amazing and directly boarders the Humacao nature preserve. The pool was absolutely wonderful, especially since there were riptide warnings for the entire week. We walked the beach every morning and watched the sunrises and pelicans diving for fish and relaxed in hammocks under the palm trees in the afternoon. Hiked the trails in the nature preserve and fished in the lagoons. This is truly the place for nature lovers! I would highly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The house had all we needed! It was a bit different than our impression from the listing as it was in a subdivision with houses right next to it on both sides. Not that this was so bad but for some reason I had thought it was gonna be a bit more secluded. My children really enjoyed the pool and my wife and I enjoyed drinking coffee in the mornings under the gazebo in the backyard and walking down to the beach and watching the sunrise over the bay. The house keeper was very easy to message and responded quickly for the things we needed.

We had a wonderful stay. Luckily Julius was there to give us advice if places to visit and great restaurants. The house was very nice and the yard beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the wild life and a beautiful peaceful beach.

We stayed for a week in this house. The directions to get to the house were excellent, we got there with no difficulty even though we arrived at night. Sylvia answered all my questions and was super helpful. Everything works, it has a gas grill, and a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen and restrooms could use some updates, but like I said before, everything works. There is AC in all of the rooms and the house is big enough for a family to be in without feeling crowded ( the house fits 12). The backyard is the best feature of this property. While kids and teenagers enjoyed the pool, the adults gathered around the grill to talk. The weather was perfect, everybody enjoyed it. You can walk to the beach, which is also super peaceful (perfect for 🧘‍♀️ yoga, or to take a hammock with you and just chill). We also went to the nature preserve which we enjoyed a lot. The restaurants near the house open only during the weekends. Locals enjoy food, watching sports, and karaoke there. Overall it was just what we needed. A quiet place to enjoy with family.

Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and had plenty of space for us to all spread out. But we spent more time outside, enjoying the pool, gazebo and short walk to the beach and nature preserve. The boys enjoyed some coconut basketball on the beach as well.

We love nature and walkability, so this rental was perfect for us. The beach and nature trails are a block away. Multiple towns are very close and San Juan is under an hour. We would definitely stay again. We met Julius, the owner and he was lovely. The backyard was our oasis. The AC works perfectly and no issues with anything in the home. If you want hotel amenities, this is not your place. Being on an island, backing up to a nature preserve, you will get bugs and lizards. This did not bother us, we just cohabitated!

It was a great escape to nature and great time with the family. House was clean and everything in order, taking into consideration Covid-19 guidelines. The pool was even better than in the pictures, private for us all the time. We even extended our stay!!! Communication was always clear and available with Sylvia. It really will Be our get away house for the future!! In looove. Highly recommend for a great time with family and in total contact with nature.

This property is "as advertised". If you are looking for a resort or brand new amenities, this isn't for you. If you want clean, working, everything how you need it, with a backyard you will never want to leave, this is it! Our family of 5 had a great time with the hammocks, the nearby hiking, the beach, and just the peaceful serenity of everything. We bought groceries and ate breakfast outside. Then rest in the hammocks. Maybe go on a hike or hit the beach. Drive the El Yunque or somewhere nearby. Relax with something on the grill as the sunsets. Only thing we didn't like was leaving and going home. Communication was excellent and everything was top notch working order. If you are fortunate to reserve this house, you will relax and rejuvenate and never want to leave...

we enjoyed our stay here . It was comfortable ,clean and very close to everything. the beach was walking distance, kayaks are included and we enjoyed using g them on the beach. the beach was beautiful!! and for the most part had it all to ourselves. definitely recommend hiking on the natural reserve great view . thank you so much !!

Pros: The place was spacious, plenty of A/C units for those picky people too. The pool is a nice size, and there's plenty of backyard to enjoy. The place also had floaties for kids, 3 kayaks too but wasnt able to use the kayaks. The co manager for the property was really nice and she was very helpful and if we had questions or concerns or wanted to know anything about the area or surroundings she was glad to help out or call us right back with more infos. Cons: The property is not managed through VRBO. The property owners sent us to communicate with a second person through email instead of keeping in touch through the app and work out any details. Which kind of defeats the purpose of spending tons of money through the website or app to be safe to then be told to work out details outside the website. The pool is more personal but it is shared with the house next door. Luckily we didn't have any neighbors during our stay so it was all to ourselves. No reason to kayak because the back space to enter the water stream to the nature reserve had too many fallen trees to even try to move the kayak from the back maybe that will change in time with nature reserves always maintaining their lands.

This property needs more attention. Refrigerator didn’t work, nobody came to fix it, and the beach isn’t clean. It is full of seaweed to the point where you can’t swim or walk. Puerto Rico has better beaches, I wouldn’t recommended this place for vacations if you want a good, pretty beach.

The owner was super nice and ready to accommodate - didn’t have a hair dryer - so bring your own if that’s important. It’s kind of reminiscent of indoor camping. We didn’t use the kayaks we drove to the rainforest instead. I’d say if you want an authentic trip and feel for the southeast side of PR it’s a good first stop. There’s a Walmart close by and a few local little bars.
