About The Owner
I came to Puerto Rico from England 14 years ago and fell in love with the island and Sandra-a local lassie. We now have 2 kids and I work for the Ritz-Carlton Reserve. I own 2 other rental properties here on the island
Why The Owner chose Rio Grande
We used to live in Costa Real and bought the place because of its proximity to the beach and the amazing view of the ocean. The apartment itself is large and spacious and we appointed it with the best appliances and furniture we could find. We moved to a nearby house but wanted to keep the property for the future. It has 24 hour security and only 3 steps up to access. The most impressive feature of the property is its view, proximity to the rainforest and beach and of course 2 restaurants within walking distance!
What makes this villa unique
The most impressive feature of the property is its view, proximity to the rainforest and beach and of course 2 restaurants within walking distance! Open up those windows and doors and let the warm caribbean breeze flow through the apartment. The 2 balconies also make for more options and the master bedroom balcony has the best view of the ocean of the whole place.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We were exploring Yunque rainforest and you really can't get a more perfect location. I thought the apt was actually nicer than the pictures gave it credit for. We were a family and there was more than enough space and every kid had their own bed! I love that! Thank you!

What Tiera loved about your listing:
Location. Apartment itself.
What Tiera thought you could improve about the experience:
It would have been nice to have laundry detergent. I actually would have washed some of the towels so you wouldn't have to. Also, there was no dishwasher soap. It would have been nice to be able to use this instead of doing everything by hand. Also, many airbnb people leave a little booklet of surrounding area restaurants, grocery stores, etc. It would have been nice to have a heads up on which restaurants might be hard to find but worth the the trip!!

Reviews
Excellent!
4.5/5 -
(21 traveler reviews)
The inside is nice, the outside is poor.
The owner was nice, he tried this best,the economy in PR is a mess. The outside is gross, because the neighborhood is dilapidated. The surrounding are awful, pool broken and weeds overgrown. only 3 people in the whole condos. We had wifi and tv cable. the inside is big and clean. the Kitchen is well appointed and the bbq was great. the AC in one room wasn't working and there isnt any in living room. Super hot. Master bathroom window is broken, so we closed the door and stayed out. Didn't want to see what creepy crawlers could come in. We paid for 3 bedroom 3 bath, we got a 2 bedroom 2 bath. we made best of it. Used it as a basecamp for our daily adventures.
Great Place, Great Location!
We love staying at this property. It is well maintained and in an excellent location.
The worst exoerience
We stayed in this condo earlier this year with our two children to enjoy a family vacation. The pictures used to represent this condo seemed to show a very nice apartment. When we arrived to the security check to enter the property we saw a condo community that looked deserted. Literally there were a handful of cars parked, part of the community was overrun with weeds and debris and the outside of the buildings were covered in mold as if they had not been pressure washed in years. But we soldiered on and entered the unit. What we experienced inside matched the outside. Holes in the wall. Windows that could not be shut and allowed mosquitos into the apartment (can you say Zika?) and a glass patio door that would neither close fully nor lock. The owner was useless in remediation these issues. We had to sleep in a deserted community with no ability to lock the glass patio doors and when we were out during the day our personal items were essentially unprotected. I cannot tell you how unsafe it felt and upsetting it was to be in this situation. We were so happy to checkout/leave this apartment condo. We are a hardworking family and look forward to our hard earned vacations. Staying at this condo almost ruined our vacation but for the fact that we were determined to enjoy ourselves despite the conditions of the condo and the knowledge that the owner gladly collected our money and had no interest in addressing the safety and security issues. Please beware and think twice about staying at this location. Do your research!
Better late than never
First off, I'm a bit late in writing this review. Sorry. I need to just say how this home made my trip all the better, I remember searching for a home & just falling in love with the view in the pictures. This house was everything & MORE. I had two small children with me & four adults, there was more than enough room for all of us. Then the view. The view & scenery is just to die for. I took multiple walks & enjoyed seeing my country. It's been a long time since I returned back but I felt so at home. Richard gave me a pin point of the home & that's all I needed. Everything went exactly as planned & I couldn't ask for a more enjoyable stay. Again, thanks for the warm home & sorry for the late review. You won't regret your stay here!
Excellent
I had a great experience staying at the villa. It was my first time in Puerto Rico and I can't wait to go back. Richard really made my stay pleasant and assist me when there were issues with the villa. Thank you Richard
Good Space
We stayed here 8/12-8/16/2014. The villa provided great space, especially on the balcony. Having the grill was an extra bonus. The condition of the villa can use some cosmetic improvements but overall, we were very comfortable. I wish it was closer to the beach though. The owner, Richard, was great and friendly.
