About this property

Garden Vacation w/ Outdoor Living Space and Kitchen, Large Rooms, King Size Beds

Enjoy a peaceful stay at our Garden getaway! Located as the lower unit of a two unit house, with private parking and private entrance in the front of the house. Walk into your open air large kitchen where you can cook on the grill, the smoker, OR the stove. Make coffee in the open air and take it to the sofa swing as you listen to the morning song of the forest. Let the forest sounds lull you into a blissful vacation trance.

This property is in a private neighborhood that is close to the rainforest (about 10 min away) AND the Beach (about 10 min away). It is also only 45 minutes drive to San Juan. *We do recommend having a car at this location for travel freedom.* This property is the lower level of a two story home. The upstairs is also a vacation rental, that has a separate entrance and parking area. It is possible you will hear or meet other guests during your stay.

Both bedrooms are inside with their own lock-able door. Inside each bedroom is a large King size bed, Air Conditioning and a TV for nights when you want to relax and keep cool.

There are two bathrooms, both with a spa like shower. There is a washer and a dryer on the back patio of the house for guests. This is the area shared with other guests, along with the Large side yard next to the house, where you can find, coconuts and parcha (passion fruit) and Avocados when in season.

Relax in the large living room, with comfortable furniture and a dreamy large swinging couch.

Here you will hear the Coqui and different birds and lizards, *don't be surprised if an iguana traipses through the yard. There are also many free roaming chickens and roosters as well as the neighbors own flocks. There are also some sweet neighborhood cats roaming about occasionally. The downstairs is fenced in so it is rare they come into the space.

*The upstairs of the house is a separate unit rented by other travelers

Mary- the rental manager- lives on island and is available for questions should you need her.

We had a great time at the hideaway garden. The accommodations were quite comfortable and we almost finished the puzzle! It was a little buggy after the rain but bug spray and insect repellent were provided.

Amazing!!

My 17 year old daughter and I stayed here for 3 nights and did not want to leave! The outdoor space is beautiful and the bedrooms are better in person then the pictures. There were beach chairs and a cooler to use which was so nice when going to the beach (less than 10 minutes away). There is so much in the area but the neighborhood is nice and quiet and feels remote. We will definitely be back!!

Pretty good bang for the buck

The rental in a comfortable and quiet access controlled community that is conveniently near the beach and national forest. Great for a family get away. The open area for the kitchen, dining and entertaining is unique and comfortable. I highly recommend contacting the property manager with any questions you have. They are really nice people and were very helpful during our stay. Some really nice surprises came with the stay that were enjoyed by the whole family.

Best of Both Worlds!

We had such a wonderful stay in Luquillo! The property was perfect, in a quiet neighborhood but close to all the action. We LOVED the outdoor kitchen/living area. I was initially nervous about mosquitos, but they were not an issue. We were able to explore the rainforest and go to the beach during our four day stay - both are equally as close. There are plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby.Mary was a great host, very responsive and helpful. We cannot wait to return to lovely Luquillo!

Great stay!

Such a unique property! I wish our stay here could have been longer. The pics are mostly accurate; the only difference would be that the kitchen is not as new looking as the pics. The beds & baths were great, very comfy and cold a/c. This place was the only place we stayed that you could drink the tap water!My only warning to other renters - one night we went for a walk around the neighborhood (its gated and overall very nice). Going up the hill a dog came racing down at us, barking & clearly in attack mode. The owner eventually came out saying he didnt bite, but it was pretty scary at the time. I dont want that to sway your reason to book, but just be aware!!

Great beach and El Yunque property

Mary is an excellent host. The property is big with 2 large bedrooms and an outdoor kitchen area. There was everything that we needed for our stay, in fact more than I can remember from other stays. There is easy access to the beach and rain forest and it is located in a secure estate. The only challenge was the mosquitos which we had expected being close to the rain forest

Great Place to Stay

Great Location near the Beach and Highway for getting anywhere you needed to go. I've never stayed in Open Living Quarters. It was very different and I so enjoyed it. It is just as pictured. They even had Nice Beach Chairs for you to use during your stay. Hope to come back next year and stay again. Gail

Amazing location, gracious hosts!!

The location of this property is perfect, at the foot of El Yunque rainforest and about 10 minutes from Laquillo Beach. The home is sparkling clean and abundantly furnished for a beach vacation with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and a even a cooler for your use. The hosts are extremely thoughtful and responsive. They have a welcome book with recommendations for local food and activities. You will have to deal with mosquitos, but that is the scenario anywhere in PR. At this location, the considerate hosts provide plenty of citronella and insect repellent. The landscape of the property is stunning. I 100% recommend this location for your stay, I can't wait to return!

Beautiful, unique, & memorable

This home is even more beautiful than the photos and faces a lovely yard. The bedrooms were spacious and very clean. The outdoor kitchen and living/dining room were unique, comfortable, and well-appointed. The swing sofa is amazing! We were a little nervous having our children in a separate bedroom with an exterior door, but the house is secure and in a very nice neighborhood. The mosquitos can be bad at times, but ample bug spray, candles and coils are provided. The communication was excellent and smooth. The binder of local information and recommendations was appreciated. (It would be even better if it was sent ahead of time!) We loved staying here and wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Glamping

If you think of this place as glamping it’s great. If you expect things to work or not have to sweep the floor for millipedes constantly you will be disappointed. Washer dryer and stove did not work. Dish Washer feel forward on me. Slipped on cement ramp and needed stiches. Puddles In Kitchen and first bedroom daily. We bought our own yard spray and used daily and bug rings were not included. Water filter expired. No tv channels work Main bedroom is great, bed great pillows felt 12 yrs old. I like the no walls thing and do not mind occasional cockroaches but the millipedes were a bit much. Need a push broom so you do not squish them. The stools fabric flaking off so we quickly learned to sit on towels on them, and spray the coushions first thing in the am as they attract mosquitos Lots of potential Needs some work

About the host

Hosted by Mary Evans

Host profile image
Hello. My husband Jeff and I are from Washington State. We spent many years visiting Puerto Rico until finally deciding to stay full time. This house is one of a few we host for other owners. We love this house because of its large rooms, and quiet neighborhood. The space is beautiful, and tranquil. It is perfect for families or friends vacationing.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is small and peaceful. It is very close to many adventures such as El Yunque, Las Pailas (natural water slides), Carabali Adventure park, Luquillo Beach, The ferries to Vieques and Culebra, and much much more

What makes this property unique

This property is open to the garden when you are in the kitchen and living space. It has large rooms, both with a king size bed. There is a TV and AC in both bedrooms so everyone has a space to relax alone or be together.
