Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful and modern appartment. We felt very secure and had everything we needed at our finger tips. The description we received was right on. The appt was clean and very well maintained. The area was very convienient for tourists, close to the beach and accross the street from a resort and beach access as well as a casino. The owner was available to answer all of my questions and gave us great ideas for spots to visit. I would definately recommend this property to other families, I would also stay there again. We enjoyed our visit to El Yunque which was very close to the property.

We rented this apt. for our 12th anniversary. We had a great time, it was just what we needed for a relaxing stay after long days of beach, sun and entertainment. The apt. has an awesome view, which we enjoy a lot at the balcony, having a glass of wine and enjoying the breeze. It is very secure and it is gate to gate with the Whyndham hotel/ Rio Mar Community. The Apt. is very close to Luquillo Beach (7 minutes) and the "Kioskos" (Food Places), Rainforest El Yunque (10-15minutes), El Conquistador Hotel (20 minutes). The owner, Mrs. Alvy is very nice, available 24hrs for any questions, recommendations for food places or entertainment etc. The apt. has everything you need at a place like home out of home, it has games, dominoes table, tv, radio, dinning room set, living room, kitchen is fully equiped with everything needed to cook. Thanks Alvy....We did a great choice. Looking foward to repeat the weekend with our twin daughters...:)

We had a great time in Puerto Rico! We rented the bottom unit. The location was great, just a few minutes from the rainforest!! The apartment had everything we needed for a family of five. The only recommendation is that the sofa should be replaced. The white sofa has discolored over the years and the cushions are sagging. Alvy, thanks for being do responsive!! We hope to visit PR very soon again!!

Owner response:We take our guest reviews very seriously. The recommendation made will be considered and changes will be made accordingly. Thanks! Alvy

Just bring your groceries and you are all set!! Alvy (the owner) is super dooper friendly and always available 24/7, which makes your stay even more awesome!! I definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone who trully wants to enjoy their much needed vacation without worries of any kind. Call Alvy you will not regret it!!!

This is truly a home away from Home

The house is fantastic but what it makes the experience just perfect is her owner. She is friendly and always there to answer any questions. I reccommend this property, away from the metro area and 5 minutes away from the beach.

Beautiful Time with my family in a beautiful home!

From the moment we drove up to the house, we were in awe! The view was so beautiful and the fresh breeze was a huge welcome from our 42 degree weather we had in New Jersey! The house had everything we needed. When I say everything, I mean everything! From toys for my little one to a Foreman Grill!! The AC was a plus for those extra hot days but I felt right at home. You will need to have a fresh stock of groceries, but there is a supermarket right down the street. Alvy was a true joy to work with. She was very detail oriented and ensured you were taken care of. If you needed anything, all we had to do was ask. Thank you very much for sharing your home and for allowing my little two year old to have a beautiful time on "la isla del encanto". Many blessings to you and your family~

Return Visit -- Love the Location

We stayed in the bottom apartment of Alvy's house for 10 days the beginning of March, staying in the upper unit the previous year. You cannot beat the location of this house. Highway 3, which is the main thoroughfare East and West is just minutes away. Luquillo Beach and the kiosks are 5 minutes away and La Pared Beach just a few more minutes further down the road. The outlet mall (which is a nice mall) is not far away if you end up with a rainy day and there are grocery stores and several restaurants nearby. The apartment is as pictured and the addition of the flat screen TVs in the livingroom and bedroom are a nice addition while you relax in the evening with the windows and doors open, after spending the day at the beach :) Alvy is absolutely wonderful to work with and as other guests have noted, she is very accessible and never makes you feel like you are inconveniencing her. Thanks again for another wonderful visit Alvy!

Great place for my family

I just came back from PR and stayed in this apartment. The apartment is great, clean and a great place to stay. We felt very safe in the area and it was convenient to everything. We have two children (a 6 months and a 20 months old) and this was the perfect place for us. It was very safe for them. Alvy is a great person and she goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Thank you, Alvy. My family leaves 10-15 minutes from there and they love the place too that will stay there for a "get away". We will definitively stay here again or in Luquillo where Alvy has another aprtament in Playa Azul.

This was my first time renting a vacation home and i must say that i felt like a king of a hill top castle. Alvy supplied everything a house would need to function, dishes, laundry detergent and even tour brochures. the location was grand as well as the view of the ocean. me and my fiance went to the casino right across the street and had a great time. i would recommend this property to everyone. i could go on forever about the air conditioning vents in all the rooms , it was great and a beutiful way to spend your time in p.r.

This place is excellent, clean,quiet and spacious. I felt right at home and the owner is sooo hospitable, it made our mother's day week (mom's, tia E, my sister's and my) in PR a great one!!!! Thank you Alvy for accommodating us for a longer stay. Your maintenace staff Willie was very kind. I'll be reserving my next stay soon. I recommend this place to anyone vacationing, having fun and looking for a great place to unwind. P.S. The places to dine were great, thank you! Antojitos was my favorite for breakfast.
