House is gorgeous, Pool is sparkling, property has so many little nooks to chill out and relax. Beach is beautiful and quiet, you practically get it all to yourself. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. Only improvement, the house rules are very particular and require specific items, like black trash bags. The rules aren’t the issue, it’d be helpful if the house provided those particular items, like black trash bags, so guests don’t have scramble finding the right item at the store.

Grandparents, 4 children + spouses, 5 grandchildren. We all had a great time. Pros: Walking distance from very nice beach, fun private swimming pool, walking distance to 3 restaurants and 7 minute drive to grocery shopping and more restaurants. Cons: Circuit breaker for living room tripped occasionally- we reset it in the kitchen cupboard. TVs in every room but they were not connected to anything. Some of the beds are not comfortable for adults. Speaking Spanish is a huge plus because the local manager speaks Spanish and is very responsive. The main manager is in LA so you have a 4 hour time difference to reach him if you only speak English.

The Villa is huge & comfortable , clean, the pool is great communication with the manager was great and understanding. i will be booking again . my family & kids loved it ..

To whom it may concern, It was a great experience overall. However, below are some observations and recommendations: 1. Master bath toilet kept running the water. Solved the problem by closing the water beneath toilet. Needs repair. 2. A/C in one of the rooms did not function properly; possibly due to need for cleaning. Picture sent to management. 3. TV remotes were nowhere to be found and TVs did not have any type of antenna system (ie. Digital antenna, Cable TV, Satellite, etc.). 4. Trash was not taken away from previous tenants. Had to call for issue. Thank you for a great experience. Looking forward to utilizing this facility again in the future. Very Respectfully, Wilson Carrero

Sam was a great property manager and helped us through our stay. He was very attentive and even answered the phone at odd hours when we needed some information answered. The location is great for exploring the island and also heading to Culebra for a day. The location has a great living space and pool that can be used for entertainment. Everything you need in the kitchen. I would recommend stay here again and 100% working with Sam as the property manager for your stay.

House was awesome, just as described! We were a group ranging from 7 to 80 and every single person loved the house. Pool was amazing and was used daily by the kids. Property management was fantastic with communication and was quick to respond even to the littlest question. Area was nice and quiet, perfect place for a safe much needed family vacation.

Cute house in a cute neighborhood so close to the beach. Kids loved the pool too. Plenty of room for 3 families, 12 people. 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. 3 Queen beds and the 2 Kids bunk rooms are great.

We had a wonderful stay with great weather. The beach was a few minutes walk away and it was like having your own, rarely saw anyone else on it. No trash anywhere, just clean seaweed which I guess you could rake to the side if it bothers you. The house had plenty of space for family of 10 and the kids loved the pool. We lost 1 1/2 days of swimming due to pool being maintained with chemicals. I think that if the house is occupied they should put chemicals in at night and then vacumn in the AM.

Loved the house. Pool was great. Plenty of room for our 2 families. The beach is a little further than the listing suggests, and has a lot of sea weed. Also, there is no hot tub on property. Other than that, great house.

The house is very big just like the listing. We had a minor problem with the pool but the manager Sam took care of it very quickly.

This home literally had everything we needed and then some. The pool was perfect for the the kids and we all had our own space. The playpen came in handy and any issues and/or questions where immediately addressed. If I had to give one con, it would be that the beach while great for sunbathing and enjoying the ocean breeze, the seaweed made it impossible to swim. Not a total loss but disappointing.

My three generation family of twelve-(8 adults, 4 kids) from the US midwest stayed at the Rio Abajo house for a week over spring break. The house had everything we could possibly ask for. We had four couples/families and plenty of room for people to congregate or retreat to their own private space. The pool was wonderful, and we had the beach all to ourselves. The house had all of the comforts of home. When we had a maintenance issue, we made one call to Sam, who answered in person, and a maintenance person was there within an hour to fix the problem. The restaurants and bars are within walking distance, and we were able to go there and listen to live music on the weekends. There were plenty of activities for the wide range of ages in our family. I never once heard any of the kids say they were bored. They were either in the pool or in the ocean most of the time. The house even had beach chairs and a cart to haul them, sand toys, and a boogie board. I would highly recommend this house for family or group vacations. Everyone in our group said they had a great time.

Our family of twelve people from four households loved most the swimming pool, the spaciousness of the house, and the proximity to a fun beach, a nature center, and small shops for eating and drinking. Also, the manager was easy to contact. We were there during a windy week with a fair amount of wave action on the beach. We were glad we had packed life jackets for younger kids.

We spent 5 days recently Feb 2019 in beautiful Humacao, Puerto Rico. This vacation home we rented was immaculately clean and well stocked with everything we needed. There was 8 adults (4 couples) we each had our own room. We cooked ALL our meals every night - choosing not to eat out; everything we needed was there for cooking utensils. Amenities for local groceries etc. were all fairly close. The Pool was great we spent a lot of time in it :-) (Probably the highlight of our stay - everyone loved it) we even walked to the beach and swam in the ocean just a short walk away. You could wade out quite far but you did have to be careful of undertow; the beach there is quite nice but lots of seaweed/grass daily (We took some rakes from the house and cleaned up a nice spot for us to use and others while we were there.) Sam the Manager was always quick to get back to me if we needed something or had questions he was a great pleasure to deal with all around! I would highly recommend this property to any family or couples to stay it was a quiet neighbourhood with friendly people. We felt safe and secure and truly enjoyed our stay! Thank you Sam for everything! Price was right we felt the value for our dollar was worth the spend :-) If we go back to Puerto Rico again this will be the place! The Bohnet Family

Before you book this make sure you google Punta Santiago; it is kind of a remote location, which adds to the serenity of the house and community. It is NOT San Juan, haha. Will take you about 90 minutes to get there from San Juan. We were able to get to San Juan and Luquillo beach from this house in about an hour or so. The community is very quiet and you will not see many people at all. Even the beach is super quiet. It is good walking beach but not a swimming beach. Pretty close to Walmart and gas stations. The House itself is very well maintained and taken care off. Thoughtful decorations. Very clean. The kids loved the pool in the backyard. Electricity was not a problem and all rooms had TV and AC. We cooked most of the time so the full kitched was excellent. Most importantly Sam the manager picked up the phone even late night. Would be happy to come back and rent from him again.A+

My family and I wanted to spend some time together and rented this property. We were a group of 11 (including two teens and one 9yo). The house was spacious, clean and had everything needed for a stay. We prepared several meals, enjoyed time in the pool and toured around the east coast of the island. Though I live in the States, the rest of the family lives in PR. Because of this we knew that this area was one of the hardest hit by hurricane Maria, so it didn’t take us by surprise to find still clear signs of the damage. Still, there were restaurants, markets and larger stores that are open for business and are very close to the property. The beach is very close to the house, but we knew it wouldn’t be in the best condition for swimming just yet. I would definitely recommend large groups staying at this house. Easily accessible to main roads and businesses, plenty of room, great pool and very good communication with the property manager, Sam. Many people ask me what they can do to help PR continue to recover from Maria and I tell them that the best thing to do is come visit, stay a few days and be part of local businesses continue to build and thrive. This would be a great place to consider!

From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’re home. The house is perfect for a large family vacation away from all the tourist trappings of a hotel. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare your own meals. Sam, our host, was awesome in accommodating us in every way. We almost always had the beach to ourselves, but it was nice to meet the occasional fellow travelers staying in the neighborhood. Thank you so much and we’ll be back very soon. Tip: bring your own yeti cups to enjoy poolside.

We booked this house because it slept so many (even though there are only 9 of us, we wanted bedroom options for teens and families) and because of the pool. As we got closer, a lot of people asked, "Why are you staying in Humacao?" and indeed, it was only because of the house. It turned out to be a great choice though: We got to see much island beauty with none of the tourist trappings of a resort. The house is in a little development. The house directly next door and maybe one or two others are also rentals, but otherwise it is all residents. The people who live there are not as tickled by the beach, so we ended up having that to ourselves the times we walked over. It's startling, looking as far as you can see down a beach in both directions and not seeing any other people! It was wild and natural and beautiful. The development is also in the Humacao Nature Reserve, and taking walks through that each day was a highlight of the trip. It's a beautiful palm forrest with well-marked paths. So all told, I would say the near-rural location is the best part of the rental. The house itself is good though too. Sam the caretaker is always available with answers and advice, especially on the first day when renters have a million questions. The home is nothing fancy but has everything you need, including strong wifi, and is very comfy. We enjoyed hanging out around the table, in the living room, and especially in the pool. The pool was another highlight of our trip, the 4-year-old ended up getting a lot of water confidence out of her hours spent in there! The pool is kept clean and the outdoor shower was great, not just to wash off but also for the 1-year-old to play in. We got all of our groceries at the nearby Walmart or Ralph's. There are mall-type shops nearby but we didn't find any cute, local gift shops, and that was fine. We didn't spend extra money! We ate only 4 meals out: One lunch on a day visit to Old San Juan, one lunch at El Yunque, and twice we ate down the street at Restaurante Paseo Playero, which was delicious and featured live local music on the Saturday and the Friday that we visited. It's about an hour's drive to Old San Juan and also to El Yunque so those were our big excursions, each one taking up a day. I think we may have enjoyed the days we spent just hanging out in the rental even more! We also took an afternoon boat ride with La Paseadora Cruise to Monkey Island and that was a hoot! Highly recommended. Great family vacay!
