About this property
Garden Vacation w/ Outdoor Living Space and Kitchen, Large Rooms, King Size Beds
Enjoy a peaceful stay at our Garden getaway! Located as the lower unit of a two unit house, with private parking and private entrance in the front of the house. Walk into your open air large kitchen where you can cook on the grill, the smoker, OR the stove. Make coffee in the open air and take it to the sofa swing as you listen to the morning song of the forest. Let the forest sounds lull you into a blissful vacation trance.
This property is in a private neighborhood that is close to the rainforest (about 10 min away) AND the Beach (about 10 min away). It is also only 45 minutes drive to San Juan. *We do recommend having a car at this location for travel freedom.* This property is the lower level of a two story home. The upstairs is also a vacation rental, that has a separate entrance and parking area. It is possible you will hear or meet other guests during your stay.
Both bedrooms are inside with their own lock-able door. Inside each bedroom is a large King size bed, Air Conditioning and a TV for nights when you want to relax and keep cool.
There are two bathrooms, both with a spa like shower. There is a washer and a dryer on the back patio of the house for guests. This is the area shared with other guests, along with the Large side yard next to the house, where you can find, coconuts and parcha (passion fruit) and Avocados when in season.
Relax in the large living room, with comfortable furniture and a dreamy large swinging couch.
Here you will hear the Coqui and different birds and lizards, *don't be surprised if an iguana traipses through the yard. There are also many free roaming chickens and roosters as well as the neighbors own flocks. There are also some sweet neighborhood cats roaming about occasionally. The downstairs is fenced in so it is rare they come into the space.
*The upstairs of the house is a separate unit rented by other travelers
Mary- the rental manager- lives on island and is available for questions should you need her.

What an amazing experience, it was so much fun staying in the open air rental. The space is beautiful and clean. The neighborhood amazingly beautiful and so close to the rain forest. We had a great time.
We had a great time at the hideaway garden. The accommodations were quite comfortable and we almost finished the puzzle! It was a little buggy after the rain but bug spray and insect repellent were provided.
The property and amenities were great! We loved the open air! The kitchen was very well stocked, the showers had hot water. Our host provided beach chairs, cooler and umbrella. Plenty of towels! It was the best place we stayed in out of a total of 5 during the 3 weeks we traveled around PR
Mary & Jeff were excellent hosts. Very clean and unique home. The bed was so comfortable and slept well every night. Loved listening to all the nature sounds. Felt very safe staying here. There were people staying in the unit above us but never heard them, very well insulated.
LOVED this place! We only had a reservation for two nights but wished we had spent our whole stay in Puerto Rico here. We love nature and the open living space was incredible. Each evening was spent swinging on the living room swing listening to nature singing to us! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. And it was conveniently located to the rainforest and wonderful beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Will definitely book again when we return to Puerto Rico!
The rental in a comfortable and quiet access controlled community that is conveniently near the beach and national forest. Great for a family get away. The open area for the kitchen, dining and entertaining is unique and comfortable. I highly recommend contacting the property manager with any questions you have. They are really nice people and were very helpful during our stay. Some really nice surprises came with the stay that were enjoyed by the whole family.
We had such a wonderful stay in Luquillo! The property was perfect, in a quiet neighborhood but close to all the action. We LOVED the outdoor kitchen/living area. I was initially nervous about mosquitos, but they were not an issue. We were able to explore the rainforest and go to the beach during our four day stay - both are equally as close. There are plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby.Mary was a great host, very responsive and helpful. We cannot wait to return to lovely Luquillo!
We loved our stay! Perfect getaway tucked away inbetweem La Playa and El Yunque.Instructions are clear abd straightforward if you read ahead. Step by step Instructions clariefed any questions throughout the process. Our only issues was too many keys for two rooms. Other than that everything worked perfectly and we are extremely satisfyied.
Mary is an excellent host. The property is big with 2 large bedrooms and an outdoor kitchen area. There was everything that we needed for our stay, in fact more than I can remember from other stays. There is easy access to the beach and rain forest and it is located in a secure estate. The only challenge was the mosquitos which we had expected being close to the rain forest
Great Location near the Beach and Highway for getting anywhere you needed to go.
I've never stayed in Open Living Quarters. It was very different and I so enjoyed it. It is just as pictured.
They even had Nice Beach Chairs for you to use during your stay. Hope to come back next year and stay again.

The location of this property is perfect, at the foot of El Yunque rainforest and about 10 minutes from Laquillo Beach. The home is sparkling clean and abundantly furnished for a beach vacation with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and a even a cooler for your use. The hosts are extremely thoughtful and responsive. They have a welcome book with recommendations for local food and activities. You will have to deal with mosquitos, but that is the scenario anywhere in PR. At this location, the considerate hosts provide plenty of citronella and insect repellent. The landscape of the property is stunning. I 100% recommend this location for your stay, I can't wait to return!
This home is even more beautiful than the photos and faces a lovely yard. The bedrooms were spacious and very clean. The outdoor kitchen and living/dining room were unique, comfortable, and well-appointed. The swing sofa is amazing! We were a little nervous having our children in a separate bedroom with an exterior door, but the house is secure and in a very nice neighborhood. The mosquitos can be bad at times, but ample bug spray, candles and coils are provided. The communication was excellent and smooth. The binder of local information and recommendations was appreciated. (It would be even better if it was sent ahead of time!) We loved staying here and wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Glamping
If you think of this place as glamping it’s great. If you expect things to work or not have to sweep the floor for millipedes constantly you will be disappointed. Washer dryer and stove did not work. Dish Washer feel forward on me. Slipped on cement ramp and needed stiches. Puddles In Kitchen and first bedroom daily. We bought our own yard spray and used daily and bug rings were not included. Water filter expired. No tv channels work
Main bedroom is great, bed great pillows felt 12 yrs old. I like the no walls thing and do not mind occasional cockroaches but the millipedes were a bit much. Need a push broom so you do not squish them. The stools fabric flaking off so we quickly learned to sit on towels on them, and spray the coushions first thing in the am as they attract mosquitos
Lots of potential
Needs some work
My friends and I took my 18 year old cousin to PR as a graduation present and we could not have stayed at a better location ! The house was wonderful! It was clean and the host responded in a timely manner. Would definitely go back there !
