*Uber and a few local taxi companies service our area, but availability can be sporadic and wait times typically range from 5 to 15 minutes, sometimes more. There is no public transportation in our area. We live at the top of a large hill, so walking down to the beach is easy-peasy, walking back up not so much... Having a car here is strongly recommended.*

About the host

Hosted by Cecilia Brown

Host profile image
Delighted to share our home in this lush and beautiful part of the island. Our space is an immensely comfortable private retreat immersed in natural beauty that's close to all the attractions but feels like a world away.

Why they chose this property

Called the “Riviera of Puerto Rico,” "The Sun Capital," and "The City of Eternal Summer," Luquillo is a favorite local destination. Less than half an hour from SJU (San Juan International Airport) and Old San Juan, Luquillo boasts easy access to internationally acclaimed Blue Flag beaches and El Yunque National Forest (the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. Park System). Here you’ll also find world class golfing facilities at nearby 5-star resorts, some of the best surfing on the island, reefs for snorkeling, after-dark kayak excursions in bioluminescent waters, good hiking in El Yunque’s cloud forest, warm waterfalls, river rock waterslides and cool swimming holes, Carabalí Rainforest Park adventures, picturesque back roads to local chocolate farms and more. What’s more, we’re just a 20 min drive to the ferry terminal servicing the smaller islands of Vieques and Culebra.

Go horseback riding on beach and rainforest trails, or supervised pony rides for the tots, jet-skiing, air-boarding, sail-boarding, parasailing, paramotoring, mountain biking, kayaking, zip-lines, ATVs, go-karts, and hay-rides. All in our area! Fhew!!

If you’re hungry/thirsty, right here is Borinquen, fusion and nuevo cuisine, vegan and vegetarian fare, juice bars and fine dining, as well as great BBQ and street food. The celebrated Luquillo Kiosks at the bottom of our hill boast 50+ Borinquen restaurants, souvenir shops, and bars with their own seaside scene… and nightlife. The nearby Luquillo town center (just 2.9 miles / ~5 mins away) has a charming square that comes to life after church service, when local kids bring out all manner of bikes, scooters, and skates to enjoy the cool evenings. Live BorinquenJazz music at the C-Note is to be found half a block from the square as well as lively nightlife and music at the Boardrider's Cafe and other local pubs.

Then after all that you can come back and sink into the comforts of our newly renovated, fully outfitted ocean view unit and recharge!

What makes this property unique

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS HOUSE:

The structures of this property are built into an outcropping of huge boulders that form the mountainous terrain of El Yunque. The house is literally “built on the rock” in the biblical sense. The builder designed a masterful scheme of levels throughout the structure to accommodate these boulders and artfully incorporated them into the design. This is one of our favorite features, aside from the spectacular views of the lush, rolling hills of the rainforest outback, and the sweeping views of the Atlantic sea in front.

In the foreground is a private garden with mature fruit trees including avocado, three varieties of mango, papaya, fledgling cacao trees, pineapple, and passionfruit. The outdoor space has a small lawn, fire pit, and both a covered patio and an uncovered 1000+ sq foot elevated patio area with dedicated BBQ space with sweeping views of the rolling hills of El Yunque Rainforest.

The main house features 10 foot ceilings, 50 new security windows, and doors that are large and give the spaces a bright airy feel. The layout of our home is built for relaxation and enjoyment, with plenty of couch space for everyone and large salon and entryways for the kids to spread out or yoga time for mom.

The property is 100% solar with a 21 panel solar system and Tesla battery, and our backup water supply included two water tanks totaling 1800 gallons, and two water pumps. We are prepared for inclement weather with high quality window shutters, and our property manager lives but 5 minutes from us and is just a call away to help with anything that comes up.

Our property is a peaceful refuge enveloped in magical natural beauty, and the views and location are unbeatable. With easy access to both the airport and municipal areas as well as local recreation attractions, this home truly gives you the best of both worlds.
