I can’t say enough good things about this villa! Vanessa was a very gracious host and it’s exactly like it was listed. The view of the golf course was amazing and it was just a quick drive over to the beach and the Wyndham RioMar. Their were 8 of us total staying there and it fit us perfectly. We were very happy with our stay!

The condo was very spacious and worked well for our family. The host connected with us prior to the trip and met us at the property to make sure we had everything we needed. We really appreciated her willingness to help us get settled as we arrived in the evening and were getting familiar with the area. The location was very convenient to access the rainforest national park, beaches and about 45 minutes to Old San Juan. We had a great time exploring the island. The pool is very close to the property and we used it almost every day of the trip. The beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Host and villa/apartment were amazing. Kids loved the private pool for the villa just a few minutes walk from the apartment. 5 minute drive to the private beach with beach front parking. Resort and villa extremely safe and well kept. 15 minutes from a nice grocery store to stock the kitchen for the week. 15 minutes from the rainforest. Cannot beat the value of this stay with the location and quality/cleanliness of the apartment. Host does an impeccable job maintaining the property. Plenty of places to sleep and very family friendly. 10/10 would recommend

Amazing place!

This was a great property for our family of 6. Easy access to the pool and a short 3 min drive to the beach - or you can do the 10 min walk. Unit itself was perfect with extra blankets, laundry amenities, and basic kitchen supplies. Definitely recommend!

Nice place, nice people.

It is a great facility, with views of golf course and beach. Bit of a walk to the beach, but not bad. Close to a lot of fun things to do. Terrific family retreat. Host was great, met us, and explained the area and location.

Beautiful villa

The villa is very clean and comfortable. We rented a golf cart and it was very easy access to the beach and pool area. There are great places to eat around Rio mar. I will highly recommend staying there in this place again.

The home worked well for our intergenerational family of six. Kids and parents upstairs, grandparents on first floor. Having three bathrooms was great. It was helpful having laundry facilities. The pool is just about a block away, although we spent more time at the beach than the pool. We felt very safe being in the gated community, although you do need to drive everywhere.We found the close proximity to Luquillo Beach and Yunque rainforest very handy, and there were nearby grocery stores.
