About this property

Local Experience! 5 Minutes to Beach; Solar + Cistern & 4 AC Units

Our colorful, lively 3 bed, 1 bathroom, 1 outdoor shower, solar powered house is located in the hip, artistic Santurce neighborhood; the heartbeat of the island. 4 AC Units including 1 in each bedroom. Less than a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk to the BEACH (that's 1 mile away!), and less than 1 mile to the famous nightlife of La Placita, Calle Loiza, downtown Santurce, Ocean Park, Isla Verde & Old San Juan. These vibrant colorful streets are filled with local art, murals and historic buildings dating from the 1500s. Less than 10 minutes from airport SJU! We know you will enjoy our happy, colorful home on Isla del Encanto!

About the host

Hosted by Carrie Speltz

Host profile image
We are originally from Minnesota and both went to college in Wisconsin where we met at UW-Stout. After graduation, we moved to Louisville, Kentucky for 4+ years then moved to St. Petersburg, Florida where we have been for 10 years. We got married in 2018, and havd been together for 15+ years.

We fell in love with Puerto Rico over our 2nd Anniversary vacation and decided to purchase our happy home 5 days after we left the Island. We have owned it for over 5+ years and love living and staying here as much as possible throughout the years.

We gave birth to our first son Nolan in July 2024, and then 17 months later gave birth to our second son Bernie in December 2025. Raising our boys in the tropical lifestyle (over snow!) brings us so much joy and we love sharing our Casita Verde with new friends from all over the world!

Why they chose this property

We LOVE our local neighborhood with true Puerto Rican locals. The kindest people we have ever met! Our walking distance to many restaurants, shops, businesses and the beach can't be beat. We love seeing the Ocean on some blocks and the mountains in other blocks.

What makes this property unique

We give so much care, love, and thought in every detail to provide the very best vacation for our guests! Our colorful and vibrant home is welcoming and will make you smile immediately upon entering.
