Beaches, Sand, Night Life, Great Food, Great Memories!
Look us up on Facebook (Casa Etienne Vacation Rental) for additional information.
The property was purchased on 2003 and the home construction was finished on 2005.
The property features nearly and acre of land seating near the top of a hill that overlooks the natural bay of Boquerón and its fishing village, as well as the Caribbean Sea. Great views of surrounding mountains and open green spaces are available from every room. The house features 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, a modern kitchen with plenty of cabinet space and all the utensils and appliances (all stainless steel) a good cook will enjoy. Each bedroom contains a mini-split air conditioner unit to provide comfort while sleeping in those warm Caribbean nights. Our Great Room features a 5 Ton AC unit meant to provide comfort to our living spaces day and night, as needed by our guests. The House features Solar Power Battery back up system to help protect your stay from the regular electrical grid power outages on the Island. Similarly, the house has water cisterns that help cover those days when water outages occur. Both of these systems help ensure your vacation is unaffected for short periods of time with the wise use of these precious resources.
During the day, due to its location and the surrounding topography, the house is constantly surrounded by the cool breezes of the Sea. The doors of the great room open fully to allow a sense of openness that places the occupants of the house in touch with the great open spaces and views that surround the property. The house has a constantly growing Caribbean garden with many delightful flowers unique to the islands, and some young but rapidly growing fruit trees.
The house sits at the end of the street with only green open spaces on most sides. The neighborhood is composed entirely of custom homes much of which are also vacation homes to owners residing in other parts of the island, and the United States. Due to this fact, the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful, and the few neighbors that inhabit their homes year around, are extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful.
After staying a few days in our home, you too will come to understand why we choose this very special location, why this house is so special to us, and why we want to share it with you.
Welcome to our home and to the great island of Puerto Rico!!!

Thank you so much for your review Rosy! Just like Rosy, We have several other guests that visit our home year after year, which is something that we appreciate immensely and that motivate us to make the experience at our home always an improving one. We try to make the experience at our home a unique, and always evolving, experience. In the last few years we have added ceiling fans throughout the house, new patio furniture, and new Electronics in the Kitchen, and mezzanine with a new TV and Radio. We have also added expanded WiFi capabilities for a complete and reliable WiFi connectivity throughout the house and portions of the yard. We continue making improvements on our Yard planting new plants and trying new things.
This house and its location is awesome because IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD. Not every place achieves this mark of excellence.Cabo Rojo has so much to offer.El Poblado, pristine beaches and more beaches, breakfasts at Criollisimo. Don't forget Marina Puerta Real is you are interested in a boat tour.

Thank so much for your review! We strive to make the experience of our guests an exceptional one. We make frequent use of our vacation home, and we are obsessed with having it fully stocked with top of the line items for us to enjoy, and our guests benefit directly from that obsession.
The house has two balconies and a very large terrace that allows our guests to immerse themselves into the beauty of the views and of the nature that surrounds the property. Open green spaces that seemingly reach unobstructed to the beach and to the bay of Boqueron in the near distance.
The entire south facade of the house is made out of glass, glass doors, and glass windows. These allow for the peaceful and careful contemplation of its surroundings from the various seating areas throughout the house, and some of the bedrooms. Furthermore, these large doors and windows open to fully free the space, and to allow the free flowing breezes of the sea to reach about every corner of the house. In so providing a relaxing and calming sensation all day long.
The house seats neatly between two of the most Popular beaches in the area: Boqueron Beach and Buye Beach. Nevertheless, if you bring a sense for adventure and a lively curiosity, you will love exploring the many beaches, restaurants, and night life that surrounds the little and charming town of Boqueron a few minutes away.
Welcome to the Beautiful Island of Puerto Rico!
The house is in a great location with views, beautiful beaches and good restaurants nearby. Definitely lives up to the reviews and pictures. We did have one issue but things happen and the host was responsive. Easily our top choice for staying in Cabo Rojo going forward.
We have been coming to this property for more than 10 years now. You can imagine the amount of wonderful memories we have!This place is always immaculate and recently updated. We will return!
This house was truly a dream to stay at! 5 minute drive to the beautiful Playa Buye, views of the ocean from the many balconies, everything we could need in the house, and very comfortable bedrooms! The host was very helpful when we needed guidance as well. Thank you for hosting us, we will be back!!!
We were looking for a place in the Boqueron area, close to the beach but quiet enough to be able to work and also relax. This house provided what we were looking for and then some. Fantastic location, amazing view of the bay and let’s not talk about the sunsets. The balcony provided a perfect setting to enjoy the breeze, the view and the nature surrounding the house. Loved everything about this house (kitchen, laundry area, bathrooms, etc). The communication with the property owner was excellent and the one little issue we had with one AC unit was resolved fast. I highly recommend this house.
Our experience at spacious Casa Etienne was awesome!! We loved the tranquil location and the breathtaking views. Communication was great with Mr. Arnaldo.. every time we needed assistance he would respond quickly. We sincerely enjoyed our stay and highly recommended!!
Beautiful property overlooking the ocean.
We truly enjoyed our stay..
There was an issue with the hot water during our stay. Owner communicated well about the issue but we were without hot water for

Hello Joshua, Thank you for your kind review of our property. Yes, as Joshua indicated, he encountered a problem with our new Solar Water heater. The new heater was installed on March 3rd, 2024. In about three months, and coinciding with Joshua's visit, the water intake regulator failed, not allowing the heating core of the tank to accept water to the point that there was no heating core water to transfer heat to the water flowing through its heat pipe on its way to the house. The heater was fixed during warranty as soon as the manufacturer was able to service it, but Joshua unfortunately had to experience a few days without hot water.
The house has been updated with new items on nearly every appliance and system, at this time, over the last two years. New ACs (4), new washer and dryer, new refrigerator, new stove, Microwave, dishwasher, and most recently, as indicated, a Solar water heater. Also, the house features and impressive Solar energy array of solar panels and batteries that have already been demonstrated effective during, and after, two major storms: Hurricane Fiona in the fall of 2022, and Tropical storm Ernesto (just before it became a Hurricane, although it felt like it was already one) just a couple of weeks ago. Similarly, the house features a 600 gallon water tank that provides water during, and after the storms. Puerto Rico's infrastructure is still fragile. We loss street water and power on both occasions, but the house was unaffected due to these systems.
We stayed for 4 days and totally loved this place. The property is on a hill and you could notice it from far with a breath taking view of ocean. The photos don’t do justice. This is way beautiful and you must visit to experience it. We will go again the next time we r in Puerto Rico
Very nice! The view, the rooms, the furnishings, kitchen, appliances. All were great. Safe/gated, Clean space and very close to beaches! My family had a great time at your property. The windows and doors were a great feature! Ty
This property has great views, is well equipped, and easy communication with a responsive manager

Family vacation in Boqueron.
Our family of 6, ages 15-69 spent a wonderful week at Casa Etienne. The house is located on a hillside overlooking the bay at Boqueron. The house is spectacular. There are huge french doors on the side of the house overlooking the bay. In the evening gentle breezes make sitting on the balconies very enjoyable. The setting and view are wonderful.
We enjoyed exploring the Cabo Rojo area. This was great house to spend a great week in PR.

Relaxing in paradise with all the conveniences....
We just spent two weeks in this wonderful location. We love it!! The home was well appointed and the views outstanding. We were quite comfortable. Loved Boqueron and all it had to offer and loved coming back to chill at his wonderful house. Everything we needed was there and since we love to cook it was great to do so in the evening when we just wanted to enjoy the company of our friends/family.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We love this house and its location a great deal, and we are so glad that the things that make it so wonderful and beautiful for us, also appeal in the same way to those who visit it. Boqueron, and Puerto Rico in general, offer a wonderful variety of sights and activities sure to appeal to all visitors. If Seafood is your thing, the Boqueron, and Joyuda area nearby contain a great list of culinary experiences and choices. For those interested in cooking themselves, a short visit to Puerto Real (less than 10 minutes away) will open up your choices to the catch of the day. Whether that is fish, lobster, crab, and everything in between. During the weekend's evenings, the Little Town of Boqueron comes really alive and offers a great assortment of night experiences ranging from the food street vendors offering oysters and the like, including the famous "Pinchos" (sort of a Kabob) of Shark, Red Snapper, and other varieties of meat (including chicken, beef and pork) to the Karaoke bars, and the exciting party and family atmosphere on its streets. They are is certainly something for everyone of us!
Centrally located to Boqueron beach and others on Puerto Rico's West Coast. We loved the neighborhood, which was a concern at first. The house was super comfortable great furniture and great outdoor access for sunset dinners. It was raining hard one night and it was nice to park the car under the house. The beds were all comfortable. Great temp controls. Too many other good things to list but there is a good reason this is a 5-star property.

About the host
Hosted by Arnaldo Torres
Currently residing in the beautiful state of California, USA. Me and my wife, originals from Puerto Rico, always dreamed of owning a custom vacation home in the island. We live and work full-time in California, and enjoy traveling around the world, but every chance we get, we find our way to the warmth and the sun of Puerto Rico. Great food, great people, and nature at its best! NOTE: Map below does not show correct location.
Why they chose this property
Been Native to the Island of Puerto Rico and knowing real well the different great get-aways in Puerto Rico is how we decided to buy and build our vacation home in this unique part of the island. As far away as you can get from San Juan, its traffic, and the crowds, we located in an area surrounded by great green open spaces, many of the greatest beaches of the island within minutes, near many of the great seafood restaurants of the west coast, and yet, close enough to some of the island largest cities for great fun activities at night, shopping, and site seeing.
What makes this property unique
The house is located near the top of a hill in nearly an acre of land with great views of the natural bay of Boquerón, and the Caribbean sea. Great views, continuously flowing breezes year around, open green spaces all around, quiet, peaceful, and private. These are the attributes that we value and those are the attributes our home embodies.
