Best Birthday Ever !
I absolutely fell in love with this house the moment I laid eyes on it ! The amount of creativity and personality this house has inside and out is amazing . So much art and funny signs that made me smile or laugh everyday . This house had EVERYTHING we needed and as someone who loves to clean and is OCD it made me so happy to see all the cleaning supplies the house came with including beach items . I didn’t have to buy much but food . Location wise this house is super convenient you can walk or take a quick 5-10 minute Uber to a lot of locations such as Calle Loiza (amazing breakfast spots) . I also felt very safe my whole stay here the neighborhood is very friendly and if you have any question people are more then happy to help . Thank you again my amazing host for being so thoughtful and always communicating back .I will definitely be booking this house again !! See you guys soon

Great place!
We had such a wonderful time at this home! It was immaculately clean and stocked with everything we needed, from household essentials to beach gear, making our stay so convenient and stress-free. The neighborhood was vibrant and easily walkable, with a couple of corner stores, local restaurants (check out El Huevo for breakfast/brunch you won't be disappointed!), and even a bar just a 5-minute walk away (and yes, $5 drinks!).
The area itself is lively, with locals playing music throughout the day, which added a fun cultural vibe. Thankfully, the noise usually quieted down just in time for bed, so it didn’t interfere with our rest.
The house was exactly as shown in the photos—absolutely adorable and thoughtfully decorated. A quick note: the avocado bedroom does not have AC but does include two fans, and if you keep the door open to the living room, it stays comfortably cool.
Parking was a bit tricky to find, but that seemed to be a common theme throughout the island, so just a heads-up if you’re planning to drive.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend this gem if you’re looking for a great mix of comfort, convenience, and local flavor!

Perfect Puerto Rican Getaway
The house was beautifully decorated, very clean and fully stocked! The lanai makes for perfect family pictures and the house has everything you could possibly need or want! Dishes, utensils, grill, beach chairs, bikes and more! The hosts were always available for local recommendations and easy to reach! Will absolutely stay again!

Love the color!
The whole family enjoyed our stay at this unique home. It was exactly as pictured and described. We really enjoyed the themed rooms, avocado and banana were a lot of fun. We are a picky family and we all thought the beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay there again!

La casita Verde
My family & I stayed here it was a group of 5 . They had everything we needed . Sunscreen , towels , water . Gave us complimentary Jell-O shots they were amazing along with a six pack of beer . Everything was very clean . The two rooms towards the back were very hot no AC units in them but we bought fans for both rooms & it was fine . Parking was alittle difficult to find but we made it work . Would definitely recommend anyone to book here . Can’t wait to come back . Everything was very close to us . 10/10 experience.

Getting real in San Juan, PR
The perfect place to land for our adventurous, long weekend! The colorful green house is super tidy, well appointed and just as cheerful as advertised. Centrally located to all of our activities (rainforest, beach and Old San Juan), it was a pleasure to be immersed in an area that was more genuine to experiencing Puerto Rico rather than a sterile resort area. Just a note for light sleepers - the house sits close to a busy city street and sometimes vehicles are not so quiet as they pass by so be prepared! A genuinely fantastic experience my sisters and I would be pleased to repeat.

Exactly as advertised!
If you’re looking for a unique, Puerto Rican flavored, clean, three bedroom, nicely stocked kitchen home, well this is it. My family didn’t want to stay in the sterile American resort area. We wanted to get a truer feel of Puerto Rico. The neighborhood is older and one of the poorer In the city, but we always felt safe even with our two young beautiful daughters. The only negative of the home is the street in front that can be very loud at night. I would use the fans in the middle bedroom closet as white noise mostly for the front bedroom, which is closest to the street. For our week there, we rented a car and traveled all over the island. We found the people be extremely kind and hospitable.

Perfect location, comfortable and well stocked
The house was very clean and comfortable. Having the privacy of a little patio out back was excellent for our group to visit and work. The house was set up like a home with even travel mugs and zip lock bags for use. There were also plenty of towels and even beach chairs for use. The owner left delicious coconut treats as a welcoming gesture and it was much appreciated. Overall it was an excellent experience and I will definitely stay again!

Good place to stay
Our stay in the home went well. There was an unexpected problem with the plumbing but the owners responded right away (their plumber was a great guy). The neighborhood is nice, with good coffee and ice cream shops walkable distances away. There was loud music in the evening but not late into the night. The house is so stocked as listed. I strongly recommend frequent use of the outdoor shower.

Perfect for our needs!
Travelled with myself and 2 other friends for a bachelor party, the location was perfect for our needs but I could see how it might not be for everyone. You are very much in a local neighborhood away from most of the major bars and restaurants but had plenty of local shops and convenience stores around to grab quick wares. Ubers are super cheap and everything was pretty close so honestly not a big deal at all. Never spent more than $8 or more than 15 minutes. The places itself was perfect for relaxing while still having some privacy (the hammock in the morning was perfect haha)

Great home, everything as described
The home was great, very clean and as described. The 1/2 bath is an outdoor shower. Our own fault that we didn't read it better in the description, as we were 3 couples one bathroom to share was a challenge, but nothing to do with the home itself. We just didn't read that part! The owner was easy to chat with on access, the place was immaculate and clean, air conditioning worked excellent. My only suggestion to other guests is research the area to ensure it has the restaurants or bars you are looking for, though Uber is a fantastic option for getting around if you aren't finding the food or bars you are looking for in the neighborhood.

Our days in San Juan
This home was perfect for our family of 5! It was clean, well supplied, comfortable, and convenient to the places we frequented. We loved the home's lively and bright decor as well. Most of all kudos to our hosts Carrie and Ryan. Our flight was canceled on our departure date. Our hosts allowed us to reschedule our stay when we couldn't arrive until 3 days later. Upon leaving, our flight, and multiple times in 2 days, were delayed and canceled again. Our hosts again offered to open up their home again if needed. They were in constant contact when we needed them and very willing to help us.

Puerto Rico family vacation
The house was very clean and well stocked. All cooking utensils, flatware, dishes, and pans were all available to us. They were several other things that were available that we didn't know about that we ended up using quite a bit. There were 4 beach chairs , 5 beach towels, a volleyball, and an outdoor shower we used every single day of our stay, which was much appreciated. Street parking was a bit of a challenge. Bring your parallel parking skills, as the streets are very narrow and nearly every space in the neighborhood fills up by the end of the night. Carrie and Ryan were great hosts - very attentive and responsive. They also made some great restaurant recommendations. I would highly recommend La Casita Blanca, which is a short walk from the house.

Great Location, VERY load area & NO Parking
The house is very cute. Floors were dirty upon arrival. It's right in-between a mechanic shop that starts working and making noise right at 7am and a store/bar that plays load music until early in the morning (about 2 or 3am). Listing stats there's AC but its not in all rooms. There is AC in the living area and 1 of the 3 rooms. The other rooms where very hot and uncomfortable.
There is absolutely no parking for this home. Listing says you can on the side streets. Those are all blocked off (locals put cones or trash cans to save parking for themselves)and for the people that their houses are on that street. We were left a note from one resident telling us not to park there and another day one resident came out when I went to get the car and started harassing me about parking in front of her home. All in all its in a great area but it's very load & if you have a rental pick another place because its going to be a hassle. We noticed our moods would change when we were getting back to the house because of the parking situation... not knowing if someone was going to waiting for us to harass us about parking there.

Great little local spot
The house was very clean when we arrived, it looked just like the photos, so cute inside! Everything we needed with a laminated printout of instructions for our whole stay and checkout (which I loved so you don’t have to be guessing).
Messaged R&C a couple times and they got back to me in a timely manner.
This house is on a super local street, you have the auto shop next door, the food truck on the other side and a little bodega type place that plays music the whole street jams too every evening! It’s definitely a vibe!
I was worried the music was going to play all night but right about 10 pm the street goes quiet do everyone can sleep 😊
We easily took the bus to Old San Juan and the airport is only a $15 Uber. We rented a car and although there’s no parking at the residence, we never had to look very long to find parking on a side street. I felt safe here.
I LOVE outdoor showers so the fact this place had one just sold us. There is a camera on the neighbors property and you can’t really tell if it points into the backyard but no biggie as we just put a towel over it for the whole trip.

Green Adventure
From the start of planning this trip for my family I called our trip the Green Adventure. This was our first time in Puerto Rico and I wanted for us to experience the culture and the locals. I’m glad I made the decision to choose this unique green house in the heart of the community. Upon arriving we were giving our check in information and it was clear to understand. The host left us a card showing their appreciation for us booking there. The house was clean and very colorful and Artsy. The house was about a 7 min drive to the beach, 12 mins from Old San Juan, 8 minutes from Walmart and a good amount of local spots walking distance. The outdoor shower is a must try and a great experience with the neighborhood music playing while showering. There’s a store right next door that sells food, liquor, and great people that we had a ball with. My family and I felt very safe there and we walked around the neighborhood several times as well and never felt unsafe. Parking was the only issue but not one where I wouldn’t come again. You do have to park on the side street and it tight you got to drive like a city driver. LoL! Last thing they had everything you need there from games to beach towel, cooler, even writing paper and pen. Stocked with all household items and kitchen supplies. This was definitely a Wonderful Green Adventure! Till Next Time! Thank you Ryan And Carrie

A REAL Puerto Rico Experience!
Sooo...let me say right off the bat, this place is AWESOME for those that are looking for a real Puerto Rico local experience! The home itself was PERFECT! Ryan and Carrie really have furnished this place for that "Home Away From Home" feel! The AC system worked great and kept the whole house nice and chilled. The decor and colors all over the house give you that Boriqua feel and you just feel that Puerto Rico vibe in the home. The bedrooms were nice & colorful, down to the bedspreads, with the banana's and guacamoles! Living room was perfect sitting area to watch a little TV or just sit around and enjoy family, food and drinks. The BIG plus for us was the kitchen...it had EVERYTHING we needed to prep and cook meals while we were there. The feelilng of being in a secured place was always there witht the gated areas to get into the home and the fencing around it, I'll get it to that a little more when I discuss location. The backyard was AWESOME spot to chill with the family, turn the grill on, let the bluetooth speaker plays some tunes and had some very nice spots to take pics. Whether you were sitting at the picnic table, standing against the back wall, swinging on the swings or hanging in the hammock, they were all definitely photo ops to take! Location was something most would be discouraged from but for us it was GREAT! You got to understand you are in a local neighborhood, with the LOCALS!! I walked around the neighborhood and people were all welcoming and nice. There a little tiendita, small store, across the street from the home and the lady who worked there, her name was Bienvenida, was welcoming everytime I went to get something from her. At night the street is busy with cars and motorcycles driving by, music going on a night and people talking & laughing as they enjoy the night, it was great! For those looking to sleep early, I would suggest ear plugs but those who want to get the full experience, go and enjoy with the locals. Going to San Juan was a short drive, we were there for a National wrestling meet and it was only a 10 min drive to the Puerto Rico Convention Center. You can easily get to the San Juan main attractions, bars, beaches, restaurants, breweries areas day or night! If we had any questions, Carrie and Ryan would answer quickly and get us the information we needed. Overall the home was exceptional for us for our stay near San Juan.
