Welcome to Casa Mañana. It is a third-floor, beachfront penthouse that is a jewel in the sky: light, airy, and with all that your family (whether bio- or logical) needs to find joy on the beach. We designed the rooms to be beautiful, all-natural/sustainable, and functional for families on vacation. You'll find a fully-stocked kitchen, bedrooms with all-natural linens on memory foam mattresses, comfortable living and dining spaces - both inside and out. We are also happy to share our stand up paddleboards, beach chairs, beach toys, coolers, sun hats, and beach towels to make your beach days comfortable and fun.

Casa Mañana was built in the mid 1900s as a shared investment by two San Juan families who wanted a place to vacation together. The grandparents lived in the two penthouses, and they hosted late night parties on the terrace with dominoes, live music, and rum drinks while the cousins slept on mattresses around the edges of the terrace. The grandparents passed it down to their children, who passed it down to their children. Several of the second and third generations of the two families are still owners in the building, and you can feel the memories in the walls of the building. Our favorite memories include morning coffee and play time on the terrace, reading in a hammock swing after a day at the beach, and leisurely evening drinks on the balcony. We're honored to offer you a chance to create memories here, too.

Casa Mañana is perfectly located for vacation. From Casa Mañana, you can walk east to the famous kioskos, which are comprised of a row of around 60 family-owned kiosks selling food, drinks, and souvenirs. They're all open air, and while some face the street, others have beautiful views of the beach. In the other direction, you can also walk along the beach, ford the Rio Mameyes (stopping to take in the hands-down best view of El Yunque on the island), and stop in for a drink and snacks at the outdoor bar of the Wyndham Grand Rio. Along the way, you'll likely see folks fishing where the river meets the sea or horseback riders on the beach.

Within a five minute drive east, you'll arrive in downtown Luquillo, with a plaza that hosts farmers markets and dances; cafes, restaurants, and bars line the plaza and surrounding streets. Luquillo has its own baseball stadium and a https://www.discoverpuertorico.com/profile/centro-de-arte-y-cultura-de-luquillo/7763 performing arts center. Luquillo also has a https://www.walgreens.com/locator/walgreens-889+calle+2-luquillo-pr-00773/id=9215 Walgreens and https://www.walmart.com/store/3682-luquillo-pr Amigo, a full-service grocery store owned by Walmart. Driving five minutes in the other direction, you'll enter Rio Grande, home of the El Yunque National Forest. Rio Grande has one main street with some of our favorite places to hangout - https://degree18juice.com/ Degree 18, http://www.lluviapr.com/ Lluvia Deli Bar and Artefacto, and https://bungalu-rest-bar.business.site/ Bungalu Rest & Bar, to name a few - and a couple of souvenir shops.

Ten minutes away is El Yunque. El Yunque National Forest is the only tropical rainforest in the national forest system. At nearly 29,000 acres, it is one of the smallest in size, yet one of the most biologically diverse. It has breathtaking scenery, clear mountain rivers, and outdoor recreation opportunities year round.

Also ten minutes away are two 18-hole golf courses at the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Golf Club. The River Course is by Greg Norman and Ocean Course by Tom and George Fazio. Ocean Course comes by its name honestly, with views of the sea and beach on the back nine. Likewise, River Course features the Mameyes River snaking throughout the property.

While we're closer to Fajardo - and the ferries to Vieques and Culebra - than we are to San Juan, both are easy day trips from Casa Mañana. If you're feeling up for an adventure further afield, the coffee plantations and west coast are doable - albeit long - day trips, too.
