  This Malibu beachfront property was great for our week stay in Puerto Rico. Villa description and pictures are exactly how the apartment itself is laid out; very clean and well furnished. I think what really made the difference during our vacation, though the apartment itself and all the amenities were great, was in fact the owner Carlos and his wife. Their friendliness and hospitality were great! His wife met us at our car rental place and even drove part of our party and luggage in her car for us. She drove us around town through areas she knew we would be interested in, and was so helpful when we asked her for recommendations for places to see and eat; she even told us about the hot spot club in San Juan for us to check out. Throughout our stay Carlos and his wife were available for any questions we had or that would arise, and he was even kind enough to escort part of our group to the airport for our departure. The location of this villa works perfect for those trying to get the most out of their vacation. We wanted to make sure to visit El Yunque and Culebra and Vieques islands, as well as San Juan and Old San Juan so this villa is in a great location that allowed us to do it all. Renting a car is a must of course, but definitely worth it because you get the most out of the trip. It was convenient to have the kitchen and refrigerator in the apartment because it allowed us to save some money on lunches if we so chose. We bought a few meals to hold us over, while still enjoyed plenty of nights out on the town and authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. The villa is definitely out of the real populated city life, so to get to a Walmart or bigger store it is about a 15 min drive but it was also nice to get the quiet feel of rural Loiza. Many nice beaches near by and it was a plus to have snorkeling equipment available for us to borrow at the villa. The villa has a very private, quiet feel to it. It wasn't until the last few nights of our stay that neighbors actually began to show up so there was no worry of loud neighbors or inconveniences. Whether you have a young group, older group, or traveling as a family, if you are trying to get the most out of your vacation and potentially cover the most ground, this villa is great! Relaxing, convenient, and most of all affordable!

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Dear Monica, I was a pleasure to have you all around; we treat all of our customers as we would like to be treated!! I am very happy you received back by mail the two passports back that you left on the villa. You will always have home in P.R!! Best wishes, Carlos Camino

  This condo is wonderful! Not only is the beach and pool beautiful (because let's face it, when you come from the north on spring break you are thinking about being outside) but the unit is right on the beach with a two picture perfect views that make you feel you are still on the beach. We felt like we we in paradise the whole time. It has everything you need for a perfect vacation. The place is located near the rain forest, old San Jaun and the Fajardo ferry dock. Thanks Carlos. We look forward to the next time we can stay.

  Owner response: Dear Deborah, It was my pleasure to help you and you family members, I am very pleased to know you loved the villa. This villa is designed for complete privacy, The beach front property (A PH Villa has a direct view to the beach with no interference) Ocean view from inside the property you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner with pool view (3 pools) and ocean view as the ocean is 20 feet away from the property. Please come back!! My best wishes to you and your family, Carlos Camino

  Stayed in January 2012 with some college friends. Great spot. Beach is nicer than anything in the continental US but pretty empty. Comfortable driving distance from San Juan, El Yunque, Fajardo, and the kioskos. The place itself is nicely laid out for a beach retreat. Furniture was better than most resorts. Would stay again. Manolo gave us a nice escort from our car rental to the location.

  Owner response: Dear Bret, Thank you for your great review!! Have an excellent day, please come back!! My best wishes, Carlos Camino

  When I rented this property I double checked with the owner to make sure it was handicapped accessible, he assured me it was and it currently states on the ammenities list that it is wheelchair accessible and suitable for the elderly or infirm. This is not the case. The condo is up 3 flights of stairs with no ramp or elevator access. When I mentioned this to Carols' property manager Carlos told her "of course its not handicap accessible, its a penthouse and states that on the listing." Since my mother-in-law recovered enough from her hip replacement surgery to manage the stairs we felt we had no choice but to stay since we had already paid a significant amount of money to Carlos. While the pictures of the condo are accurate and in and of itself the condo was a nice place there were a few bothersome traits. ALL of the lights and ceiling fans were on 60 minute timers. This was particularly inconvenient at night as it would get quite warm and we had to keep getting up to turn the ceiling fan back on. The air conditioners were motion activated and went off after about a 1/2 hr. Again, it made it quite difficult to sleep and we couldn't keep the windows open because there were no screens on the windows which actually looked pretty typical for the area. The dishwasher didn't work at all and the washing machine broke right before we got there. I understand things breaking but when I asked if they could at least bring us some clean towels I got no response back (this was after we had already stayed there for 5 days so I did not think the request unreasonable). There was supposed to be 4 sets of snorkel gear, there was only one full set. With all of this we never received an apology or offer of compensation. Again, while the condo is nice and the ocean was beautiful I would not recommend this rental.

  Owner response: Dear Carol, I have never said it was all a handicap accessible, all I just said it is a limited handicap accessible. You will find a ramp for handicap persons also a accessible parking for handicap persons. You assumed there was an elevator and you ask me and my response to you it was, there is not an elevator!!. There were more than enough clean towels for your party. Also there was 4 snorkelling equipment at the property but customers with bad habits damages the property and take things with them,,, something I cannot control!! My best wishes, Carlos Camino

  The view was amazing! Plenty of room for our party of 6. Beds were comfortable. You definitely need a car if you stay here, but it is located where you can easily spend the day going to the sites around San Juan and Fajardo and the beaches. The only things I could complain at all about was that it needed a little better cleaning. There were quite a few construction supplies, such as paint, left in the upstairs bar area. You have to walk up two flights of stairs to get to the condo. Also, someone came into the unit while we were out for a day, yet the property manager claimed it was not her. Nothing was missing, though. I would definitely stay there again. It was an awesome view and property for the price!

  Owner response: Dear Tammy, I am glad you enjoyed your stay at my villa, just for you knowledge I was the one (the owner) that was inside the villa fixing a pluming problem that you had inside the villa. Please come back you have a second home at Puerto Rico.

  We cannot ask for more!!, lovely place.This unit was spotless and its fully furnished up to the pots and pans so you feel very at home our neighbors were very friendly. We went snorkeling and swimming at the beach.We were able to really relax at terrace on the hammock. We loved the rain forest El Yunque as its is not far away from the villa. We were a group of 8 , the We are adventure seekers and really enjoyed being close to San Juan, Luquillo, and Fajardo. The villa itself was beautiful, comfortable, and very spacious.The villa is the perfect distance for trips to Luquillo, San Juan, El Yunque, Fajardo, Culebra and more. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed This trip has been an amazing experience for all 8 of us and we definitely plan to return.

  Hey Carlos you are the best!! The PH is wonderful did bonfire at the beach the on first night and cooked at the beach our neighbors were the best we even invited Carlos and he cooked for us local food. The property has 4 rooms Master Suite, Secondary Suite, Third Suite, and best of all Terrace Suite. At night we had the best time with an excellent weather at the terrace making BBQ and music. At Carlos villa you will find snorkeling equipment,beach chairs, 2coolers, beach towels, boogie boards. The surroundings are beautiful and friendly neighbors, you can do groceries at Wall Mart 10 miles from the property. The Airport is just 15 miles away from the villa. On our second day we went to St Regis Resort to have dinner at night 5 miles away. Old San Juan 30 miles away we went to El Morro Castle , San Felipe Castle and wondering around at Old San Juan. Carlos recommended us to eat local food at Bebos Cafe located at Loiza street near the airport it was the best and inexpensive. La Concha Hotel is an excellent place for lounging. We visit El Yunque Rain Forest and it is a must . Carlos was very accommodating and helpful he was always there for us.

  Owner response: Dear Stacey, Thank you for inviting me have dinner with you lovely family!!

  The villa is located on a quiet and safe neighborhood, Carlos thank you for helping us so much in Puerto Rico with all the tourist information. He was there for us 24 x 7, the villa looks exactly how is shown at the website it even looks better on person!!! Wall Mart supper center is 10 miles from the property and you can do your groceries near by. Carlos recommended us to go Bebos Cafe they have fine Puertorican cousin also he recommended us to go to St Regis Resort for dinner they have different types of restaurants at the resort, you have to make a previous reservation before you get there it was gorgeous!! Thank you Carlos for being so kind with our family!!

  Owner response: Good to hear from you Maria!! I am glad you got home safe, what a lovely family!!
