This property had everything we needed for a great weekend stay. It was clean and well appointed with comfortable furnishings. The kitchen, the hostess indicated, will have the cabinets replaced, but it was functional and well equipped. We will definitely return in the future.

Best View Ever

The view exceeded our expectations. The driveway isn't for the faint of heart due to how steep and difficult to drive up and down, but the view was the payoff.

Perfect place to call home base on the island

We did not expect to be taken away when we walked up the deck steps of such a breath taking view of the bay. We loved that the owners provided a cooler, beach chairs & towels. We loved the location of the home too, it’s close to Zoni beach and you get to drive along the bay side every time you want to come into town. I would love to stay again

Keila was responsive and accommodating to any issues we had. Several things could be improved upon to make this an awesome VRBO!PROS:Views were spectacular: starry skies, cool breeze, close to everything yet private, plenty of beach towels, coolers were a plus!NEGS:Pics on VRBO do not match the location/GPS; pics of home need updated on VRBOBedrooms, living area and bathrooms are in decent condition; hot water was in minimal supply for showers and drain in master bath didn't work well. Keila acknowledged the hot water controls are a little difficult to work;Kitchen needs overhauled and frig in kitchen does not work; there is a 2nd small frig but small for families; Keila indicated kitchen overhaul is planned.Amenities: lacked a coffeemaker, beach chairs, & umbrella was broken; coffeemaker was however made available during our stayWasher & dryer location is hazardous and lacked hot water. An outdoor faucet/shower would be handy to rinse sand from feet.

Hilltop View

This house is an easy drive to all the beaches and restaurants but also away from town so that you have privacy. There is plenty of room and lots of beds. The washer/dryer are under the house and bring your own soap! I pack laundry strips. The views are great from this house. A jeep/car is needed to get up the steep driveway.

A piece of heaven

The house is beautiful, perfect for our family. The stairs to the second floor were a little scary for me only because I have a 3yr old. The decor was great and the views were better. I love the island of Culebra is my favorite part about going to Puerto Rico. Communication with the owner was great too. I would definitely rent this property again.

Century

Very clean but the weeds were High. One air conditioner did not work the cabinets were not in good condition and the stairs to the loft area do not have handrail and are a real danger The beds comfortable as well as the refrigerators and furniture. The wood terrace is gorgeous. The entrance to the property is and adventure due to the inclination of the road. The owner request to dispose the garbage in private dumpsters that do not belong to her, which I consider improper. Will recommend the property but not for senior persons.

Cold Showers, Unlocked Door on Arrival, and Unprofessional Host

While the home was generally clean and well-located, our stay was disappointing due to several issues. The front door was unlocked when we arrived, and cleaning supplies and trash were left on the deck. There was no hot water during our two-night stay, despite being told it was fixed. The host dismissed it as “user error”—something echoed in reviews going back to 2022. If that many guests struggle, it suggests a flawed system, not incompetent users.Even more frustrating, the host suggested we overlook the hot water issue, as we had enjoyed a house with “power, comfortable bedding, beds, and linens, air conditioning...”—basic amenities we reasonably expected when paying for a property advertising as much. This dismissive and condescending tone overshadowed any comfort the home might have offered. Respectful communication and accountability would have made all the difference.

This place was breathtaking. What a view really a special hidden gem tucked away in the beautiful hills of Culebra. It's a very roomie house with all you need to enjoy a relaxing island life stay. The host was so helpful and concerns they went above and beyond really one of the best experiences we've had. We really hope to visit again very soon.

Impeccable Views

Although the location of the home is not where it is located in the listing (actually across the harbor), the views were glorious and it was a nice halfway point between town and Zoni. The host was extremely responsive and helpful to us prior to and during our stay. We had a great time!

Over all the experience was great, it was not in a busy area, quiet and great for our family. The only cons is that the home was a bit outdated, although cleaned before it needed a thorough cleaning. We were so grateful to use the towels provided and chairs for the beach. We were unable to use the washing machine and dryer because their was linens in it. We had a great stay and made a lot of memories

Beautiful private location

We were so pleased with the gorgeous, hill-top view of the harbor and spacious, comfortable villa, but most of all, Keila's kindness and helpfulness. We experienced a family emergency during our stay and she went above and beyond to assist us in any way she could. We are so grateful. From reading others' reviews prior to our stay, we knew about the beaded doorways, and found them fun and a great way to let the breeze blow through the villa. The children loved going up the steep driveway in the jeep each day--it just added to the world away feeling you have on Culebra. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

My family was looking forward to a relaxing time and ended up cleaning flooded floors. My toddler and mother fell and we had to leave to find a safer place. The place had multiple leaks and that seemed have not been addressed in a while. There was also no hot water in the place.

: Amazing views, big deck, plenty of beds for a group of 7, air conditioning, two coolers, location, communication. Recommendations : Please, add beach chairs. The two there are old and too low for adults. Add shade/umbrellas for the deck area so that guests can enjoy the expectacular views outside during the day. Fix fridge situation (the main refrigerator just cools in the lower drawer, doesn't freeze. There's another tiny fridge in the LR, but the freezer is small). Lastly, consider basic kitchen updates (very dingy ( dirty, crooked, peeling cabinets, doors that don't close, loose handles, cracked old formica counter, etc.), and, most importantly, update the pics of it on Vbo (the pics of kitchen in the pictures is an old photo, not at all as it looks now!). The owner says she'll updating the kitchen soon but, for the pricepoint, I was a bit dissapointed about this, but not a deal breaker for me and my family. Besides these few details, this place is amazing!

Amazing views, secluded location

Overall we had a good experience staying at this house. A FWD car is highly recommended for this location. The owner is very responsive and helpful. If you have allergies to wasps bites, please ensure to address it in advance of booking as we had an unfortunate encounter and got attacked by the wasps when we were checking in. What likely happened is that we inadvertently disturbed a wasp nest on the front staircase that is a little wobbly and is not used often. We didn’t see the side stairs and were not told not to use the front staircase. To be fair, wasps are abundant on the island and wasp nests were present at another property we stayed on Culebra. The owner was very responsive and prompt in addressing the issue once we reported it.

To start, it was disappointing that there is no help getting from the ferry to either a car rental or the property. When we arrived at the property around 1030PM and found the lock box to open, it appeared that someone had smashed it and we could not open it. I did call Keila and she had the property manager there fairly quickly who was able to pry it open to get the key. The front door would not stay closed as the latch did not work. Which was a worry with kids in the house. There were ants and roaches everywhere. There was NO hot water to bath or wash dishes, even with repeated attempts from the property manager to fix the problem. The washer/dryer were UNDER the deck. There was an abandoned vehicle parked in our way to access the steps for the property. There was trash and old discarded a/c units all around the house so although it was a beautiful view from the deck when you looked down all you saw was trash and debris. Neither of the refrigerators worked so we had to get ice to put in the freezer to keep the things cold that we wanted cold. We were looking forward to cooking at the house and eating looking at the view. But that couldn't happen. I would NOT recommend this property to anyone unless there were some MAJOR improvements and cleaned up! Wish I had realized I could post picture for the review because I would have to show the condition of the debris and trash.
