This home is exactly as described and fit our needs perfectly. We were looking for something just outside the main tourist areas but also convenient and close to the things we wanted to do - and this residential area was just the right fit. As long as you know how to parallel park, the street parking is no problem at all. One thing I didn’t see mentioned in other reviews are the neighborhood roosters. Bonus if you want to get an early start to your day! But not so loud that you can’t sleep through the sunrise crowing if you were down the street at Bonanza a bit too late the night before. Wonderful experience, wonderful hosts, wonderful casita.

We had such an amazing experience!! It is a beautiful decorated house, very comfortable and with more items that you’ll ever need.Only issue is if you decide to rent a car, parking is not very accessible and you will need to park on the side streets. The streets can get very packed as that’s where the cars for those house park. The right side of the house is easier as the other side is very tight and has more house.Our hosts were more than accommodating, had some snacks for us, and were amazing! Absolutely recommend and if I return to San Juan, I will definitely stay there.

They were incredibly responsive, provided excellent local recommendations, and truly made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout our entire visit.The house itself is absolutely adorable – beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. The location couldn't be better! We were able to walk to so many amazing restaurants, cafes, and attractions. Being within walking distance of the hot spots meant we could easily explore the vibrant neighborhood without worrying about transportation.

The house was very clean and comfortable. Having the privacy of a little patio out back was excellent for our group to visit and work. The house was set up like a home with even travel mugs and zip lock bags for use. There were also plenty of towels and even beach chairs for use.

Good place to stay

Our stay in the home went well. There was an unexpected problem with the plumbing but the owners responded right away (their plumber was a great guy). The neighborhood is nice, with good coffee and ice cream shops walkable distances away. There was loud music in the evening but not late into the night. The house is so stocked as listed.

My family & I stayed here it was a group of 5 . They had everything we needed . Sunscreen , towels , water . Gave us complimentary Jell-O shots they were amazing along with a six pack of beer . Everything was very clean . The two rooms towards the back were very hot no AC units in them but we bought fans for both rooms & it was fine .

Getting real in San Juan, PR

The perfect place to land for our adventurous, long weekend! The colorful green house is super tidy, well appointed and just as cheerful as advertised. Centrally located to all of our activities (rainforest, beach and Old San Juan), it was a pleasure to be immersed in an area that was more genuine to experiencing Puerto Rico rather than a sterile resort area. Just a note for light sleepers - the house sits close to a busy city street and sometimes vehicles are not so quiet as they pass by so be prepared! A genuinely fantastic experience my sisters and I would be pleased to repeat.

About the host

Hosted by Carrie Speltz

Host profile image
We are originally from Minnesota and both went to college in Wisconsin where we met at UW-Stout. After graduation, we moved to Louisville, Kentucky for 4+ years then moved to St. Petersburg, Florida where we have been for 10 years. We got married in 2018, and havd been together for 15+ years.

We fell in love with Puerto Rico over our 2nd Anniversary vacation and decided to purchase our happy home 5 days after we left the Island. We have owned it for over 5+ years and love living and staying here as much as possible throughout the years.

We gave birth to our first son Nolan in July 2024, and then 17 months later gave birth to our second son Bernie in December 2025. Raising our boys in the tropical lifestyle (over snow!) brings us so much joy and we love sharing our Casita Verde with new friends from all over the world!

Why they chose this property

We LOVE our local neighborhood with true Puerto Rican locals. The kindest people we have ever met! Our walking distance to many restaurants, shops, businesses and the beach can't be beat. We love seeing the Ocean on some blocks and the mountains in other blocks.

What makes this property unique

We give so much care, love, and thought in every detail to provide the very best vacation for our guests! Our colorful and vibrant home is welcoming and will make you smile immediately upon entering.
