Tulio’s house was perfect for our needs. You cannot beat the location, it was awesome to be able to sit by the water at any time, have a great view, and walk to town or melones easily if we didn’t want to use the jeep.Host was extremely attentive and accommodating. We will return!

Lovely place only a few steps from the ocean. I loved having my coffee there each morning. The owner and check in process was top notch. The place was very clean with a few friends walking around to greet you! The chickens! lol.

Tulio’s house was absolutely perfect. The hammock lounging, beach access and proximity to town made our stay very enjoyable. The house had everything we needed for a week in Culebra and Tulio was a great host.

We had the best family vacation! The location was magical. Waking up and falling asleep to the waves was a dream. Great sea glass hunting and the snorkeling was like being in an aquarium.

This rental is for nature lovers! Beautiful beach and snorkeling area out your front door. My favorite part was cooking meals in the open air kitchen with the sound of waves to keep you company. Our host had spot-on recommendations…listen to them:)

Location is fantastic, can't beat waking up to the sound of the waves and relaxing in the hammocks at night. Wonderful snorkeling on secluded beach, comfy beds, all the basic needs, and host is fantastic. We would definitely stay here again, a special place!

The location and the private beach were incredible. Very private and the outdoor kitchen/living area was very pleasant to use -- wonderful place to hang out. It's a special place. The only thing to be aware of is that you must go on outside stairs to reach the one bathroom from the bedrooms, so it might not work for all groups.

We were so pleased… no ecstatic as we pull up to the property! THIS is what we were looking for on our vacation! The house was like a tropical retreat. The rooms were clean and after the A/C was turned on it was very pleasant but who cares about rooms when we had an amazing beach in our backyard! We loved relaxing in the hammocks, it was one of our favorite places to hang out if not playing in the water, snorkeling, shell and sea glass collecting or soaking in the sun on “our” beach! We loved the kitchen area, it was clean and ready for us to enjoy! The bar window made it easy to set up for making drinks and foods! My biggest concern was that to access the restroom I would have to go outside and downstairs for my middle of the night bathroom break! Wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous about 4 adults and only one bathroom but it worked out. Tulio our host was very accommodating and also easy to get ahold of via text when we were checking in. He stopped by and we had a great chat on one of our last full days there, great guy! Our overall… positive! Enjoyed every minute of our stay! Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful stay

This is the second time we've come to stay at this property, the location right by the beach is wonderful & the outdoor kitchen/hammock space makes it where you never really have to hang out inside (unless you want to). Home is secluded enough for privacy but still a few minutes walk from food, grocery, rentals, etc. Would recommend!

Wish we could have stayed longer !

What an amazing location, private beach, close to everything but still feel secluded. You can hear the waves while rocking on the hammocks. Very relaxing, clean with adequate space. And our daily visit from a tall bird lol

A great beach house with snorkeling

We loved the location and eclectic cottage at Melones Beach! As advertised, short walk to one of the best snorkeling spots on the island and 10 minute stroll into town. Host was responsive and helpful and had clear, informative instructions about the property!

Everything about our stay at the yellow house was great. It's exactly as described. If you want a very private, relaxed and authentic experience while on Culebra this is the place.

Walk to town and Melones Beach

The cabin is rustic but comfortable. The snorkeling at nearby Melones Beach is really spectacular. In the evenings we closed up the upstairs and turned on the air conditioners to keep the bugs out.

We wanted to like this place so much. Having the water right there is wonderful. We definitely found that this space was not super clean. Used bar of dial soap in bathroom for hand soap, air conditioners had a build up of dust, wicker best frame had lots of dust on the top. The biggest issue was on our first night out of 4 people 2 of us started reacting to the inside and that's when we looked further and found mold. Mold on the back of the blinds, some spots on the front, the white bunk bed had mold spots covering the back bottom portion, above all the light fixtures that didn't actually have lights in them. I reached out to the host who is very responsive first thing in the morning. We couldn't stay. We didn't come on vacation to not feel well. He denied this was true and basically told me it was false allegations. Then offered to come look at it after the second night. Coming in and cleaning mold with all of our belongings would further spread spores contaminating our things. We asked for a refund and he refused. He claims this is organic black dust from the debris, brackish lagoon and the dark colored sand produced by decomposition of flora. There is a big difference between mold and dust. We notified VRBO and I hope they do an investigation and the correct precautions are taken. The host was also very helpful until this and then just remained in denial. This could be a really great place but it was just unfortunately unsafe for our family.
