It really was a paradise!

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this worked out. We have stayed at a variety of hotels and paradores on the island in the past. It was great to have a kitchen for breakfasts and snacks, plus privacy for my sister who joined us for the trip. The complex is well maintained, clean and secure. The location of the complex was great for being in a central location for day trips around the island and the unit was in a prime location for watching and listening to the ocean, since it is on the second floor and faces the ocean. The north coast has great surf. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed and there were plenty of towels. The washer and dryer were handy. We drove 1000 miles during the week because of all the places we wanted to see. The parking lot was well lit and felt safe, even at night. We enjoyed eating at a variety of of local restaurants and really enjoyed the Pollo Tropical chain where we found a great variety of Puerto Rican food at resonable prices. Sabroso! We also ate lots of Rex ice cream, which is a local chain with stores in Isabela, Aguadilla, and Mayaguez, among other places. Back to the diets..... Myra was a pleasure to work with. We would not hestiate to rent thru her agian. This worked out better than renting homes thru realtors. Thanks Home Away and Myra!

Great unit, a bit hard to find but once you are there it is great. Beach across the street with lots of local places to eat. Owner very helpful in giving additional eating suggestions and activity suggestions. Love the beach chairs and used them daily. Very clean and comfy. Love the weather.

Myra's apartment in Isabela is the perfect antidote to a stressfull life. The apartment is spacious and well appointed adding to overall comfort. Wake up in the morning to the sound of the ocean. Leave the day watching the sky turn brilliant colors as the sun sets over the ocean. Not far away is a fishing market to enjoy the fresh catch of the day. Feel like a local and witness the Puerto Rico of old while still enjoying the comforts of a great condo. The town's square is what Pueto Rico use to be with great activities for all. This is no doubt the best place to have a wonderful peacefull vacation.

Owner response:Jerry and I just returned from our visit to Puerto Rico. Everytime we go we fall in love with it all over again.The small plaza near us just opened two new wonderful restaurants.We sat on the beach having our cocktails enjoying the sunset every night.This is such a little paradise and we truly enjoy sharing with our guests.

Directly on front of the beach

I needed a condo where I and my family could have a peaceful time but at the same time near to places to have fun. My parents are old people. The balcony directly on front of the beach and the swimming pool, was perfect for my mother that has some difficulty to walk and the bars and fish market less than a block away was perfect for my father that love to explore and to party. The process to rent was a lot easier than I thought it could be and Myra was in communication with us all the time. Also gave us very clear instruction so we knew where everything was and never felt lost. The condo is spacious and confortable. There is beautiful view and more towels than you can need. The kitchen was very clean and with all the appliances and utensils you may need. And even has things you may not think you are going to need too. In case something still missing, less than five minutes away, there are supermarkets and store that for sure you will find what you need. The master bedroom has a bed that is a dream. The other beds are okay. Also, the complex has tennis court and gym so I could maintain my physical fitness during my staying there. Right on front there is a walking trail along the beach and between bushes that is so long that you may need to rent a bike if you want to see it all. We are looking for dates to go back because four days did not felt like enough.

Owner response:Thank you for the wonderful honest review. We try very hard to make all out guests as comfortable as possible. When you are planning your vacation the easier it is the happier you are and it becomes a good memorable vacation for everyone. We take pride in our vacation home. It is a pleasure to open it up to other guests. All ages can find something to do. Children enjoy the water sports,basketball,tennis, swimming. Adults of all ages will have no difficulty enjoying the areas beaches, restaurants ,golf ,surfing etc. The temperature in Puerto Rico is the same all year round so every season is great for a visit. Hope to see you soon

We came to Puerto Rico because one of our daughters was finished a medical rotation at the Coast Guard Base. The complex was well-maintained; the guards friendly and helpful. The views from the condo were heavenly. Imagine having your morning coffee listening to and watching the crashing waves. What a treat to have those same lovely sounds lull you to sleep at night. We took advantage of the walking path in front of the complex almost daily and took walks on the beach. The beaches were not too crowded and we loved having our privacy. Did not see a single t-shirt shop or souvenier shop in Isabella or the surrounding communities. Yeah!!! The local people were kind and helpful. The condo was spacious and very homey. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen with all the tools, gadgets, and dishes. We spent many hours in the pool just enjoying ourselves. The Coast Guard Base was not far away so we were able to meet our daughter after work each day and see some of the other sights of the area. Myra and Jerry were wonderful to work with and I have not hesitated in recommending a Puerto rico vacation to our friends.

Owner response:Jerry and I enjoy sharing our View of Paradise with our guests. Puerto Rico is our special hidaway where we can relax,swim ,play golf and just kick back. We try very hard to make your vacation as comfortable and stress free as possible. Come visit us throughtout the year and see for yourse3lf.

Relaxation at it's Finest!

This rental was just perfect for our family of 5! The unit was exactly as I expected from the pictures, and the beach is truly beautiful (and very private in August). There were never more than five other people within site of us while we relaxed on the beach and enjoyed the warm, gentle surf of the atlantic. The complex is secure and very clean and well maintained. Myra is a pleasure to deal with, and very prompt with her communications. Book it, you will not be sorry!

Owner response:Thank you for the wonderful review. We try very hard to have our guests enjoy their vacation .Our unit is directly facing the Ocean. You can see and hear the waves from almost every room.. Fresh fish is caught every day right on the corner. While you are cooking in the fully equipped kitchen you can watch the waves. The beautiful Atlantic Ocean, soft breezes, wonderful restaurtants ,tropical vegetation, water sports and local flavor sets the stage for a vacation in Paradise. Book with us and see for yourself

Loved the condo!

My husband, 18-year-old son, 24-year-old daughter and her boyfriend and I stayed in this condo for a week and had a wonderful time! The condo is very spacious, clean and well-equipped. The only thing we had to shop for was food we prepared in the kitchen, which was very clean and well-maintained. The view from the balcony is spectacular! When we stayed in June, we practically had the pool and beach to ourselves. We did have some rain, but it never really spoiled our plans. We ate at a lot of the restaurants close to the condo, and never had a bad experience. We loved eating out on the open air patios. My daughter and her boyfriend and son enjoyed the local music and dancing on Sunday evening. We would suggest that anyone visiting Puerto Rico plan on visiting Old San Juan. It is very interesting and beautiful.

Owner response:Thank you for the wonderful review. We know that when people are making plans they like to read reviews form some of out guests .Only then you can form your own opinions. We as owners love Puerto Rico and our home there but we truly enjoy it when others feel as we do. Come visit us and see our view of paradise and decide for yourselves

Wonderful Property and People

Guest: Professor at MTSU (Murfreesboro, TN, USA)
Date of Stay: 05/01/10 Review Submitted: 06/12/10

Rented this property for the month of May 2010, as a place to base our search for property in the area. It was simply wonderful. The people were the best part of the entire trip, they are so friendly and helpful. You will need a car to see the area and the shops and tourist sites, but loved it and would go back again. Definitely take in the Arecibo Observatory; Crashboat Beach; and the Bacardi factory in San Juan. The drivers are a real challange, but got used to it as the days progressed. Go to the convenience store on Friday for the entertainment and the singing.

Owner response:We are very happy to hear our guests had a wonderful vacation. Our town of Isabela is right on the Atlantic Ocean,quiet,beautiful and an ideal place for a family vacation, a romantic get away,or a jumping off place to tour the whole Isalnd
