Beautiful Villa

Beautiful property with amazing amenities. The views were amazing. The hosts had great and prompt communication. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. We did not get around to doing it, but Hacienda Carabali next door has many amenities at a short walk to explore.

We were looking for a place in the mountains and this ticked all the boxes. It was so different, and close to tons of activities. We loved having the pool/spa, the views were amazing, the restaurant/bar at the end of the street was key. Easy to get to and hosts were very responsive.

Awesome Family Getaway Spot

Just awesome.From toddlers to kids, teenagers and adults My family and in-laws had the most wonderful time, enjoying the amenties the place had to offer (basket ball, private pool w/ jacuzzi, billard, BBQ grill etc.)It's very located a decent distance from everything, roughly 30-45 minutes to the airport, and about 10-15 minutes to the beach and natioal forest -- with more than plenty activities and restaraunts to enjoy nearby.

We had the best time staying in this house. It was clean and had everything we needed- plus more. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool, pool table, and basketball court. The two kitchens made it easy to make meals for our large group. The house provided sheets, towels, trash bags, toilet paper, hair dryers, paper towels and so much more. Although we didn’t need them for our group there were necessities for babies as well. The host was easy to communicate and was always available if we needed. The house is off of a gated street so we felt safe and there was a code or clicker to open the gate. The house is close to beaches, restaurants, grocery stores etc. Our family and friends will definitely be back to stay here again.

Great spot for visiting with family and great access to the sights

This was a great spot with so much to do close by - Carabali, El Yunque, Fajardo, Playa Luquillo, Playa Azul and much more. It is also easy to get to San Juan to visit all the amazing sights and take a ferry or flight from Ceiba to Vieques. The kitchens are well stocked for cooking for the family throughout our week stay. The outdoor charcoal grill was helpful just keep in mind no oven, not too bad other than we wanted to cook a Thanksgiving turkey. Pool table, hammocks, pool, and plenty of outdoor seating for family game night too.

Lovely views, plenty of space, close to sights

Absolutely gorgeous house perfect for our group of 10 (three generations, ages 6 to 76). The downstairs especially had room to spread out. Hammocks, porches, fun pool, short drive to beaches, less than 30 mins to east coast (we did bio-lagoon and snorkeling/boat to Icacos) and El Yunque (we did a muddy hike/climb to the water slide, cliff jumps). I loved this house, would return. Minor grievances not dealbreakers: had to buy our own beach towels, no dish drainer so we piled them to dry, some toilets had weak flush. And the upfront fees (cleaning, etc) were pretty hefty; we paid nearly 1,000 in fees alone for five nights.

Awesome Views

Our stay was great! The location is awesome, we were close to El Yunque and Luquillo beach, and tons of great local spots for food and drinks. We had 4 adults couples, and we knew the property had bunk beds but most of the couples ended up sleeping in separate beds due to the size. The beds were fine but weren’t super comfortable, and the blankets weren’t very substantial. The bedrooms are also all right next to each other in a tight hallway so it doesn’t necessarily feel super private. The common area was perfect for evening drinks and conversations - the hammocks were great for relaxing. We loved listening to the Coqui at night. We visited in January so we didn’t have much of a need for the pool but it was very clean and well kept.The views definitely were the best part - so lovely!

Another great stay

We stayed here last year for spring break and liked it so much that we came back. The location is ideal - 30 minutes to/from airport, 5 minutes to Luquillo beach and its awesome kiosks, 30 minutes to Fajardo and its charter cruises, 45 minutes to Old San Juan, 15 minutes to El Yunque. House is nestled away and peaceful. Cooking/eating outside is great. Awesome sunsets.

Beautiful views and peaceful

The property and the location are awesome. The house was clean and easy to get to. Just a little minor things that were wrong. Hector and Carmen were on it. I would stay here again because of the location. I went to celebrate my 60th birthday with my friends and my brother and we all enjoyed this place. Thank you for renting to us. I will recommend this place. Sincerely Jose

Beautiful and Private Location

We had a wonderful time at this property. We were a group consisting of 2 families with teens. The outdoor space was amazing — we thoroughly enjoyed hanging out there in our “downtime” and even cooked dinner in the fabulous outdoor kitchen. The views and surroundings can’t be beat. We also enjoyed the proximity to Carabali, as we walked to dinner there twice during our one week stay. The roosters, coqui, horses, dog visitors and nearby donkey made our trip even more memorable!

Relaxing home base to explore Puerto Rico!

We visited this property for our first visit to Puerto Rico and found it to be an excellent home away from home. The secluded location was close to the Rain Forest, Luquillo Beach, an easy to access all that Fajardo and San jUan have to offer as well. The house itself was just as advertised, with comfortable furniture, great electronics, and fully stocked to cook and eat for any meal. Hector was responsive whenever we had a question.

Great location

If the location and the amazing view wasn’t fabulous, I would not have been super impressed with this property. The beds were not comfortable, the pillows were so flat. The outdoor space was a saving grace as the inside is tight for a larger group. The seating out door was not comfortable either, I felt like for a space meant for hanging out, it would be more comfortable. Small things that made the stay not as enjoyable especially with a large group. Overall not a bad experience, however I have stayed in enough places to notice the differences with comparable prices.

Wonderful Family Get Away House

This house in the Hacienda Carabali which is gated and secured was the perfect selection to my family vacation. Heated Jacuzzi & Pool, Pool Table, Washer/Dryer Music w/surround sound, TV w/ cable, free Wi-Fi, Two Bathrooms, Hammock, Coconut Tree, Mango Tree, Green Plantain tree, Quiet location, Comfy beds, Close to El Yunque, Luquillo Beach, Kiosko(food,bar and shops area) My whole entire family young and old loved this house. We actually consider in buying it LOL. I have only one complaint... Vacations was too short. : ) Thank you Hector (owner) for allowing us to enjoy this spacious and beautiful home. Until the next time. Jeannette (NY)

Spacious, quiet property with great potential

This property has many bonuses: spacious (especially the lower, open level), stunning views, pool table, comfortable air conditioning, very private, lots of cozy hammocks, and convenient location to Luquillo beaches and El Yungue Rainforest. If more attention were given to its upkeep, it would be a stellar property. The drawbacks: The swimming pool/hot tub was unheated and not clean (the floor and sides of the pool needed to be vacuumed), only one bathroom had a hot shower (the other two were cool), may lightbulbs needed replacing, there was significant water leakage to the lower level anytime someone showered. The biggest downside was that the directions to the place were wrong and very confusing. The owner should replace the unclear directions with a single pin drop. If the items above were rectified, it would be a FABULOUS place to stay!

Overall great place with a couple hiccups

This is a great rental. The highlight is the outdoor area that can be used both rain or shine because the majority is covered. The pool is often in the shade, so great for when you want a dip but need to take a break from the sun. The beach chairs and boogie board was an awesome thing to have! It’s five-10 minutes to the beaches of Luquillo and 10-15 to El Yunque rain forest. Also super close to Las Plaices natural water slide area. The only major issues we had were the following and would be easy things for the property management to address. The code we were given to get into the gate to the neighborhood did not work. We got lucky and followed someone in. That’s kind of a big one. A couple minor things: the description states that the place has beach towels and it does not, or we would have brought some with us. The knives at the place are so dull that they really pose a risk to guests trying to use them. My husband is an avid cook and cut himself pretty good. Sharp knives for a safety win next time please! :) Other than that it was fantastic. Everything you need for a great family vacay and close to so many incredible sights. We left a piece of our heart in Puerto Rico and will most DEFINITELY be back!

Perfect Vacation home for our family

This house was perfect for our family vacation. We spent 9 lovely days here. It was a total of 5 people. Our 3 year old grandson felt so at home. Played everywhere and loved the pool. Carmen was very responsive when I contacted her to ask if they can send someone to clean the pool. The pool person came to take care of it within 10 mins. Since the pool is closed to the trees. It gets leaves in it. We never had an issue with anything. All the amenities were just perfect for our needs. We enjoyed the bottom floor for evening dinners. We used the grill to cook dinner most of the time. We found everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, AC worked well, showers were very cleaned with nice warm water. There are many places that you could go eat near by. Supermarkets, beaches, Jaz clubs, the river. We also went to ride horses at the Carabali Hacienda. That was a wonderful expeirnce. Our grandson rode a horse by himself and loved it. The neighborhood was very safe. The neighbors were very friendly. We loved the sorroundings at night and in the morning. You will love the donkey (we named it Henry). Roosters waking you up, all sort of birds singing and of course at night you will hear the lovely coqui signing. This is a house that I would definitely stay in again. Overall experience in PR and this house was phenomenal.

We did not want to leave!

The property was lovely and just what we expected. As other reviews mentioned, finding the house the 1st time was a little tricky but not terrible. The gate referenced in the directions no longer has a horse on it so do not let that throw you off. The house was well equipped, the bedrooms were perfect for what we needed (we were 7 adults), the A/C worked great and each room had it's own unit. We spent most of our time in the open air kitchen/living area with pool table. We could not get the fans down there to work but there was always a breeze so it did not really matter. There is tons of sitting areas throughout the property. ....sun, shade, pool-side, views of mountains, sit with the group or take sometime by yourself in a hammock. There was no shortage of space it was all there and you just had to pick your seat. The pool was also nicer than we expected. We eat at the Carabali Rainforest Bar and Restaurant a couple times and it was very good and just a short walk from the home. We also went on a horse ride which we would recommend. It would have be nice to have an additional gate opener because sometime our group wanted to split up but we had to plan around someone being able to open the gate to the neighborhood. We always figured it out but it did take extra planning, so having 2 would have been nice. After our week in this home we did not want to leave. We hope to be lucky enough to come back and stay here again someday. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
