About this property

Private Pool*Full Solar*Secluded Rainforest Setting*1 Mile from PR3*20 From SJU

This large vacation house is situated at the edge of the El Yunque National Rainforest on 6+ acres of tropical rainforest jungle. Private gated access, on a small mountain just 1 mile from PR3. Large private patio and 10x20' salt water swimming pool constructed on the mountainside. THE POOL IS USED BY GUESTS OF RENTAL HOUSE ONLY, NOT SHARED WITH ANYONE ELSE.

This is not a cramped condo or apartment with many neighbors. You will be in a safe mountainside tropical jungle setting, in a large concrete house, with plenty of room to explore and enjoy!

The property is close to El Yunque National Forest, Luquillo (Monserrate) Beach and kiosks, Carabali Rainforest Park, Hacienda Siesta Allegre, and just 20 expressway miles from San Juan. The ferry terminal to Culebra & Vieques is 23 miles.

Bedrooms: NO BUNK BEDS!
King bed in master suite with walk-in closet and separate bathroom with large shower. The second bedroom offers a comfortable queen, a futon, and twin mattress for a variety of sleeping options. A queen bed is in the third bedroom. Second Bathroom is at end of hallway, near bedrooms 2 and 3.
Two Pack N Plays are available for traveling babies. A high chair is also available.
The couch in living room contains a queen bed.
Linens, pillows, and towels (including beach towels) are provided.

The house has accommodated many gatherings with friends and family sharing in the food preparation in the open kitchen with large island, with many guests gravitating to the large patio, or the open two stall garage in rainy weather.

Open floor plan and spacious rooms are located on one level, making it easy for elderly or toddlers to get around. No steps! Pool just off the patio has an iron security gate.

If you want to stay where you have all the amenities of home yet are near many attractions the island has to offer, reserve this home!

Ceiling fans and air conditioners in each bedroom and living room.

Full solar system ensures you won't have any power blackouts, which is a common occurrence on the island, while you are on vacation.

1,000 gallon water reservoir makes sure you will have a shower when you need it, regardless of the inconsistent utilities that occur frequently on the island. And yes, a hot shower!

Roku smart tvs in each bedroom, dvd player, assortment of movies, and wi-fi throughout.

We want your vacation to be a wonderful time and can help with anything you need before or during your stay. Hosts reside in separate 2nd floor unit with separate parking and entrance. Hosts do not monitor guests. With 8-10" of concrete between the floors, noise has not been an issue. See previous guest reviews.

Grocery shopping to stock kitchen prior to your arrival is available for a fee. Ask Host for details.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

They are great hosts! Non-intrusive but very responsive if you need help. I bought a foldable table for anyone that wants to setup a laptop to work from there. Internet is reliable, and the little animal noises are just charming. You do feel like you're living in the rainforest.

We had a great stay. Nice place, beautiful landscape. Good location between the hustle and bustle of San Juan and the beaches and activities in Fajardo and Luquillo. Instead of cars and music at night, we went to sleep to the sounds of rainforest critters. The beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of beach towels and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Beautiful property in a great location

Amazing hosts, beautiful property and views. Our 6 year old loved the pool and had to be dragged out daily but could often be lured with the promise of a lizard hunt down the picturesque driveway (calling it a driveway doesn't do it justice, it's more of a hiking trail). Hector's dogs were frequent welcome guests, the happiest dogs I've ever seen. Would absolutely visit again if we have the opportunity.

About the host

Hosted by Hector or Kim Melendez

Host profile image
Hector grew up in the center of the island (Orocovis) and moved to Michigan in the 70's. Each vacation opportunity, we would return to the island to stay with family. In 2001, we had an opportunity to purchase a piece of land close to a niece's house that we always ended up staying with on vacation because of her great location to everything (and her great Puerto Rican cooking!). When Hector retired in 2010, he returned to his homeland to supervise the construction of this vacation home. In 2015 Hector and Kim moved to the island to manage the vacation rental house.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because it is in close proximity to all the attractions and amenities of the big city of San Juan, the kid-friendly beach in Luquillo, and the ferries to neighboring islands Culebra and Vieques. Guests enjoy the privacy of the home and its surrounding tropical fruit trees, flowers, rocks, and palms. We are hybrid Tourists and Locals -- we want to see everything the island has to offer, but we don't want to pay the high costs associated with being a tourist, and we know THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THE ISLAND THAN SAN JUAN!

What makes this property unique

The location of this home allows you to vacation comfortably with all the amenities of home. It is close enough to San Juan for an easy road trip, very close to Luquillo Beach, one of the best beaches on the island, and very close to the El Yunque National Forest. Move in for your vacation ... the house allows you to just relax, cook meals if you want, and spend quality time together. Excellent restaurants in close proximity and there is a book in the home containing our personal favorites and former guest recommendations. You can always feel free to ask us too!

If you have questions about the property, location, or the island in general, please feel free to contact us by telephone, text, or email.
