Casa Lomita Verde, A Rural PR Vacation Home

I am glad that they were able to say that the house was beautiful and the pool was nice. We send everybody booking at our home the directions from the airport. We also tell them that they can find the property and a PIN by putting in Casa Lomita Verde, Vega Baja, Puerto Rico." As you get near to the house, there now posted signs with arrows. Yes, the roads in Puerto Rico are narrow out in the rural areas. We cannot do anything about that. However, the listing in VRBO clearly states that Barrio and Municipio that the property is in and how far it is from the beach. Potential renters should check out these issues and not be disappointed that it is not right near the beach or out in the country, as they should be prepared for it after reading the property description. The majority of our renters are seeking a quieter experience, away from the crowds in the beach areas or the traffic in the Metro Area.

Yes, we, too are not happy with that short stretch of road to the house. Unfortunately, the road is under the jurisdiction of the Municipio de Vega Baja, which means that the local government is in charge, and the private property owners cannot do anything but appeal to that government agency. The road was repaired in 2017-2018 after Hurricane Maria, but then another storm caused damage. The residents of the area have publicized the issue on the news and have continued to go to the mayor and our representatives, however, we are still waiting for them to act

We advertise this house as a rural property. We also speak to them directly by telephone before they travel there. People who are familiar with Puerto Rico know that the roads in the rural areas are winding, that many interior parts of the island have hills, and that the roads are not always well maintained. The upkeep of the roads is the duty of the municipal government, and they are far behind in doing repairs. We wish that we had more power to change the situation. So, while this is unfortunate, it is not anything that we have the ability to repair, as the roads mentioned by the client are on public property.
