I had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, warm, and very comfortable. The backyard was absolutely incredible—it was such a peaceful and sensational space to relax and enjoy. The community was also beautiful, and I felt very safe during my stay.The only thing I would recommend is upgrading the mattress, as it could be a little more comfortable. Other than that, everything was sensational, and I truly enjoyed my stay. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to stay again!

It was truly a "Nature Lover's Escape." Julius and Sylvia were amazing hosts and gave so many great recommendations for our stay. We had a private beach and access to the nature preserve for hiking, fishing, birding which was amazing. The house was clean, comfortable and spacious. Shopping and great food are near by. The best part was nature all around... trees, birds, wildlife. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Our stay at this home was a good way to enjoy some of the natural wildlife and plant life that Puerto Rico has to offer. From birds, turtles, iguanas, toads, tree frogs, and lizards, my girls and I were eager to see what would pop up next. With respect to the grounds and protected areas, it was a fun and relatively safe way to experience the environment.The house itself is spacious and offers just what you need for your stay plus a pool!My only complaint was that the beds were not very comfortable, and one of the bedrooms had a faulty AC unit. The kitchen and bathrooms could use an update on cabinetry decor, or some "TLC" touches, but were fully functional otherwise. I would say in some ways it's partially like a "rustic" beach house of sorts in some spaces, but no major issues.

The house and the location were lovely and fit our needs very well. Being able to walk to the beach was great as were the many beaches close by. Restaurants and a local market were also within 5-10 minutes and were very reasonable. The backyard was very nice and being right next to the preserve was beautiful.

Very welcoming concierge who helped us in a couple of ways (dining recommendations, locating the unit in the dark, and when we had to mail back one of the keys we accidental took home with us). Good space in the house - more than enough for the 4 of us. We got to see a great show by the iguana one morning from the back deck - so cool. Walking to the nature preserve was so convenient.

Yes everything was as stated. The yard truly backs up to the nature reserve. Just a lovely back yard which add so much to our stay. And the pool as well as the ocean is quite rough and not swimable at this point.

After the tropical storm season, the blue green waters of the Caribbean calm down with swimming and Kayaking, footsteps away, a memorable experience. Our pool overlooking the Nature Reserve is always calm, clean and relaxing! Our photos say it all!

fantastic location and helpful owner

This home is in a fantastic location. If you are looking for peace and quiet, close to nature and access to the beach this is the place. The owner and property manager were easy to reach and very responsive. Check in was easy. If you stay here make sure to go to Marejadas (right outside the entrance) for breakfast or brunch and Daniel's for dinner.

Excellent accommodations

The property was very well taken care of and so much to do and see within walking distance. Take the paddle over to monkey island and make sure you walk to the nature preserve from the house. Only complaint would be the comfort of the beds, should consider upgrading mattresses.

Def for nature lovers. I liked the back yard more than the rest of the place.

The owner was super nice and ready to accommodate - didn’t have a hair dryer - so bring your own if that’s important. It’s kind of reminiscent of indoor camping. We didn’t use the kayaks we drove to the rainforest instead. I’d say if you want an authentic trip and feel for the southeast side of PR it’s a good first stop. There’s a Walmart close by and a few local little bars.

Indoor camping? Perhaps in a $300,000 motor home in one of our Nation's great NATURAL TREASURES! A newly painted and fully air conditioned home, a fully equipped kitchen, two full bathrooms, game and family room, your own personal concierge, and a well-maintained landscape abutting a 3500 acre NATURE SANCTUARY. This was no small accomplishment to bring back this property to its current condition after the damage sustained when Hurricane Maria blew her way right past our doorstep. Our photos speak for themselves and are a true representation of the indoor as well as the outdoor environment-- We welcome everyone to come and see for yourselves.

Great family vacation

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The house had all we needed! It was a bit different than our impression from the listing as it was in a subdivision with houses right next to it on both sides. Not that this was so bad but for some reason I had thought it was gonna be a bit more secluded. My children really enjoyed the pool and my wife and I enjoyed drinking coffee in the mornings under the gazebo in the backyard and walking down to the beach and watching the sunrise over the bay. The house keeper was very easy to message and responded quickly for the things we needed.

Our Nature Lovers Paradise has homes on lots adjacent to our rental, however one is my winter getaway used infrequently. As the owner of the two largest properties, over an acre, in this small gated & safe community with a 3500 acre Sanctuary as your back yard, offering privacy and security like this, is hard to find.

Nature lover’s paradise

Perfect place for families! Very private and peaceful gated neighborhood. We didn’t see more than 6 people in a week! The back yard is amazing and directly boarders the Humacao nature preserve. The pool was absolutely wonderful, especially since there were riptide warnings for the entire week. We walked the beach every morning and watched the sunrises and pelicans diving for fish and relaxed in hammocks under the palm trees in the afternoon. Hiked the trails in the nature preserve and fished in the lagoons. This is truly the place for nature lovers! I would highly recommend this property.

Cute vacation home

The vacation home met our expectations. There was plenty of space for two adults, one 18-year-old, and two children to comfortably sleep and hang out. The air conditioning was powerful enough to combat the Puerto Rican heat and we were very comfortable. The property was inviting and the pool, once it was topped off to combat evaporation and we bought a skimmer to remove the mosquitoes each morning, was a good size and very enjoyable. The outdoor sitting area overlooking the edge of the nature preserve was lovely, and a great place to observe the large iguana who came out to feed on the mangoes and breadfruit that fell from the trees in the yard. 10am seemed to be iguana breakfast time. For our own meals, there was a delicious restaurant, Las Olas, right outside the main gate that we loved.

Good a/c, Wi-Fi & warm water

Overall, we had a good stay. I feel like the property description is a bit inaccurate. The pool is shared with the property owner next door and can only be used between sunrise and sunset. The laundry facilities are actually at the owners home, which is next-door, and can only be used between sunrise and sunset. That is a bit difficult when a family of six is on vacation and has activities during the daytime hours. I was very disappointed about not having access to laundry facilities when I needed them. The property is older, but was clean with good AC, Wi-Fi, and plenty of warm water. We were very grateful for that. The host was helpful and attentive to our needs.

The pool is not shared by anybody! The pool and property is the largest, and most private in the community, bordering the wilderness of a 3500 acre Nature Sanctuary. The property around the pool was recognized as a “WILDLIFE HAITATE”. The comfortably sized pool and deck straddles two properties I own, one for my use on a winter get a way and one for the rental. My access to the pool is gated, and never used when a guest is present. Sunrise/Sunset, at this time of the year is 5am-9pm, reasonable time of use of the laundry with flexible hours noted on the door when I’m not present in my home.

Nice location near the beach

The property manage sent driving directions early, but not the directions/code to get into the property. Those were sent the day of travel, but we traveled from 2AM until 10P, so we didn’t get them. The owner was very responsive when I called. He connected me with the manager & eventually she let us in, explained the property & addressed our questions. The next day some of our group left. 2 hours later the property’s electricity was turned off. (Our member at the house was making dinner.) After a quick text, it was turned back on. The home is a block from a very lovely beach and a nice hiking area. There are restaurants within walking distance. It is convenient to shopping/groceries & the freeway.

Older Concrete Home

You are staying at a concrete home as most of the homes are in Puerto Rico. It is in a gated community about 100yds from Punta Santiago beach. Beautiful subdivision. This house backs up to a nature reserve(As we call it in South MS, a swamp). It has water in it that is extremely muddy.(We did stay in July, so I don't know what the water looks like at other times of the year). We had only 5 people in the house but It can easily sleep 10 people. The home needs a little TLC but was perfect for us. Walmart is about 4 or 5 miles away. From this location you can easily travel to the mountains or other local beaches. The host was very attentive to what ever we needed.. Now the most important question is, Would I stay there again? Yes would love to stay there again and probably will try in the future

Paradise

Our stay was wonderful, it was just myself and my 16 year old son. My son as many teenagers was less into activities and more into hanging out at the house relaxing. The home itself is quite spacious, we wanted a pool and the nature trails and therefore went bigger than needed, this home could easily fit a much larger family. The house was clean, quite comfortable, had everything we needed, the check in process was very easy. I stayed in touch with Sylvia here and there with questions and she was amazing, always sure to respond promptly. The pool was very refreshing on those hot days after wandering around the trails behind the property. The nearby reserve is literally your backyard. I spent a great deal of time hanging out with the lizards and taking photos of all the beauty around me. This is the first vacation in a long time that I felt truly relaxed and this was in big part this beautiful home. Thank you so much for having us!
