About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Live the real island experience!

To have a taste of Puerto Rico, nothing like blending. In this cozy apartment, you will have the chance to experience that while exploring one of the more touristic areas in the world: Luquillo beaches (including the surfing spot La Pared); El Yunque National Forest (only tropical forest in US); two of the few bioluminescent bays in the world; Culebra Marine Reserve Luis Peña (ideal for scuba diving); Flamingo Beach (one of the most beautiful beaches in the world), and many, many more.

Great price, very clean and close to everything

Very cute little garage apartment, with an actual garage to keep your car cool and out of the afternoon heat. There was an inflatable bed in addition to the bed in the bedroom, so we were able to make two very comfortable sleeping areas. Kitchen had everything that we needed and we were able to cook small meals to save on eating out each day. This property is in a neighborhood and we felt very safe taking a morning walk, neighbors were friendly. No WI-FI was a bit of an issue, but we didn’t come to PR to watch tv, so it was fine.Would highly recommend this property.

Home away from home

We loved staying in this cute little home. Super cozy. It was very close to everything we wanted to do. Conveniently located near the grocery store also! What a cute neighborhood. We will be back!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Unfortunately we were not aware that the communication for this reservation required a vrbo account. We had trouble getting information for access to the property. Expedia was helpful. The photo of the beach is very misleading. The property is in a residential subdivision with poor street identification. No where near the beach. Thank God for GPS. We appreciated the garage. The bed was crammed into the corner which made access a little inconvenient. I would suggest a different room arrangement. No Wifi. and the TV did not appear to be hooked up to cable or DVD. While the symphony of frogs and roosters added a tropical flavor to our stay... Getting to sleep took a little longer!
