Relaxing week in paradise

We stayed for a week between Christmas and New Year's with my parents, and sister and brother in-law. It was amazing. Perfect weather every single day, and a fantastic view to wake up to every morning. We toured beaches in the area, but always got lonesome for "our beach". My sister and brother in-law brought their scuba gear and went several places nearby, including the reef right in front of the house. There are multiple surfing beaches nearby, Jobos is great for swimming, and "our beach" is where all the kite surfing happens. Sitting on the sun deck in the lounge chair and watching the kite surfers was the perfect combination of relaxation and excitement. :) We definitely recommend Larry's home to anybody looking for a great vacation in Puerto Rico!

Casa Bonita is the perfect place for an enjoyable vacation. We met up with our children and their families for a warm winter vacation. The two apartments gave us plenty of space. There was plenty to do and see in the area - but we loved coming back "home" to enjoy the view and the beach at Casa Bonita. The pictures are beautiful, but in real life...it is even more beautiful. The apartments were exactly as described...comfortable, clean and well maintained. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative. A special treat during our stay was a massage from Rosie!!! We hope to return again!!

This house has been one of our favorite places we have ever stayed in all of our travels. It is super nice and very family friendly. We feel very safe there with our 2 little girls. Highly recommend this house. It is an extra bonus if you get to meet the owners, they are great. We have found lifetime friends with Larry, Margie and Joey. We will back every year. The Fultons

Casa Bonita was a great place for my vacation! The space is clean, new and well maintained. The location is perfect and includes a pool and the beach just steps from your door. The owners are very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I would certainly recommend Casa Bonita to anyone interested in visiting Puerto Rico!

We love vacationing at Shacks Beach! Casa Bonita is a beautiful, comfortable place to stay. We love how easy it is to get to once you arrive in PR. The airport is very close by. Renting a car at the airport is very easy. Casa Bonita is right on the beach!! The property is over the top, well maintained and has a private gate with private parking. The apartment was spotless and cozy & very roomy. Snorkeling right down the stairs to the beach. We went horsebackriding on the beach, You can even walk to the stable. There are many restaurants nearby with affordable prices. However, the kitchen is full service so we liked to eat breakfast and lunch in then go out for dinner. The grocery store is also close by. The weather was lovely. The water is a beautiful color of blue. It was so relaxing to sit on by the poolside and watch the wind & kite surfers. Favorite thing to do? ....long walks on the beach looking for seaglass and shells.

The beuaty of Casa Bonita

We had a fantatic time while staying at Casa Bonita. There is so much to do without going far. The snorkeling was amazing, so many tropical fish just 20 to 30 feet from shore! You can surf or go horseback riding right there as well. We went fishing one day and that was just a short drive down the road. There is a casino in the hotel by the Aquadilla airport (10 minutes away). The apartments at Casa Bonita are very nice, clean with plenty of space. The grounds at Casa Bonita are meticulously maintained. It is even more magnificent in person than the pictures can convey, and the pictures are beautiful. We spent a lot of time just hanging out in the patio area just enjoying the views. If you do not like the ocean you can swim in the beautiful pool. The Shacks Beach area is pretty quiet so you can just relax and listen to the ocean. There are several good restuarants near by or you can cook in the apartment, all the untensils you will need are provided. If you are looking for a place to stay while in Puerto Rico I highly recommend Casa Bonita. The apartments are very cormfortable with all the amenities you will need, the views are spectacular and the recreational options are outstanding. I cannot wait to visit again.

We had taken several cruises and had decided we wanted to find a place "free" of the crowds. From a friends recommendation, we narrowed our seach to Shack's Beach and to Homeaway. From the site we fortunately found Casa Bonita. While I had traveled many times with the military to Carib area, this was our first experience to the western side of PR. The email contact with Larry was reassuring and informative. We chose to take both units, giving the 2-bedroom apartment to our girls of 18 and 26. The home and ameities were better than the pictures! It was 7-days of decompressing, though I have to admit to sneaking in to use the wireless to keep up with work. All 4 of us commented, this was truly the best vacation we had taken. Plenty of quiet relaxation, but good food and entertainment nearby. We followed the list of Larry's food establishment recommendations and were not disappointed. From the quiet location, perfect home layout and beach, this is a vacation that is hard to beat.

What a Relief ! We moved to Puerto Rico and we our home was not ready yet, so we stayed at Casa Bonita for 2 months, and I can tell you it was the best decision we made. After flying in to San Juan , and a very hectic flight, drive and not to mention the general stress of moving your life to another country,we found Casa Bonita. We curled down the darling little road and we were met with the sound of the ocean,palm trees and beautiful welcoming home. We got in and the housekeeper had left us a sweet note and prepared our room after a long drive, it was so nice. We needed a place that was better than a hotel and yet not just furnished apartment. This was both! The beach is right there, modern convienences, interenet, and the pool was a HUGE bonus. Its so humid that it just changes your day by jumping in an cooling off ! The home is very secure and safe, which was good because my hubby was working nights as a pilot. I felt perfectly fine being there alone. The neighbors were so nice, always there to let me know great places to eat ( OLA LOLAS) yet not being to intrusive. The house was decorated so beautiful. Which I love and apperciated! The beds and the sheets were comfortable and smelled fresh. I mention this because in the humidity its easy for things to smell kind of musky, not this house. Plus, I apperciated the details, soap in the soap dispenser, rugs near the bed and in the house, so sand isnt always sticky to your feet, menus for takeout. Washer and dryer , a nice clean one. One thing I must mention, my husband is a pilot, he is a very organized person, he loved that the lights switches were labeled for us. We didnt have to go around guessing which key was to this or to that, and we knew what went where and how to turn on pool lights at night. YES! These people took the time to really take their guest in consideration. We actually had the chance to meet them and they came into town while we were staying there, and that was another thing that kind of worried me, did I really want the homeowners above us while renting?? Well, we didnt even know they were there, they introduced themselves yet allowed us our privacy. This was important, I didnt want to feel like I was bothering them or vice -versa, this was a non-issue. They were great and by the end of our visit we ended up eating dinner with them. Great People! This is a place to stay, whether your time is short or long like ours. We HIGHLY recommend Casa Bonita !!!

Best Place To Stay At Shacks Beach ... by far

My wife and I stayed in the two bedroom apartment at Casa Bonita from Jan. 13-25, 2010. This place has everything you could want and the cleanliness was second to none. Having the friendly owners above us was a real treat. The pool area, beach and ocean provide the perfect mix for pleasure. Hot water and great water pressure in the shower after a hard day at the beach is the BOMB! Well stocked kitchen, great linens and towels make Casa Bonita one of the best deals at Shacks. Don't be one of those people who walks by Casa Bonita, stops to gander at this beautiful place, asks to take a look around, and then says "wow, I wish we had rented here...instead of where we're staying". This place is on our "must return to" list.
