Sleepless in Vega Baja
I give it one star because my guests and I did not get a good night's sleep 4 out of the 7 nights we stayed. The first night we discovered the full sized bed box spring support was broken causing it to be noisy. My guests slept uncomfortably on the couch. Two more nights passed until it was repaired. I spent a couple of those nights on the couch while my daughter slept with my wife in the master BR. Just after the full bed was repaired, we had a power outage that tripped the breakers on the guest air conditioning units. Another night was spent on couches and the queen mattress was moved to the floor of the master BR. I would not stay here again.

Perfect location 5 min walk to beach food , bakery and grocery store. Beach is amazing with alcoholic beverages and food on beach, protected by waves. Snorkeling is a must you can see 20 different color fish and even sea turtles

Great location walking distance to beach
The home was as advertised. New and comfortable and plenty of space. Unfortunately I missed it NOT having a dishwasher. No HOT (just warm) water in kitchen so had to boil water to sanitize dishes. AC in bedrooms were great! SO cold and worked beautifully! Beds were comfortable and plenty of sheets, pillows and comforters. Bath towels could use replacing. Had wonderful beach accessories … towels, cooler and bikes. Nice touch. The electric gate to the house was a little unreliable, got out the manual that didn’t help. The property mgr wasn’t able to help either. Should be a manual override so can open if power goes out or like in our instance just stopped working. Kitchen was very well stocked with spices, appliances, beautiful plates and plenty of glassware! Kitchen could have been cleaner … glass hood dirty and microwave was filthy.

Valerie, thank you for staying with us! We're sorry you experienced a few issues that had a negative impact on your visit. - We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the electric gate's apparent malfunction. Although we are not sure what may have happened, we have addressed the situation with the property manager and have included instructions for manual operation in case it is needed. - We apologize for the cleanliness in the kitchen area. We have the home professionally cleaned in between each guest's stay, however, we do understand things were missed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, measures to prevent this from happening have been taken. There is hot water in the kitchen, so we are trying to understand what may have been the problem during your stay. Thank you again for providing such valuable feedback, it is greatly appreciated as it allows us to correct these issues before our next booking.

Perfect location close to beach and stores.
House was beautiful and location was excellent only flaw was Master bedroom AC is not so cold and communication with host was not so good it took many calls to reach her we had no electricity for a few hours and could not leave property due to gate was electric but reached owner and she was very helpful and quickly responded to us but overall it was a wonderful stay. My only recommendations to owner they should have BBQ utensils available for BBQ and invest in more patio furniture for downstairs.

As promised, a great place to relax
The house is exactly as advertised and reviewed. Friendly, easy check-in and check-out process with no one standing over your shoulder hovering while you’re trying to get into the house (many past experiences) and situated. So helpful to have the beach stuff ready at the door and the cooler pretty much lived in the back of our rental while traveling the island. So much easier to carry your own water and adult beverages wherever you went. The Econo grocery store is so close and very well stocked for everything you’ll need. I wasn’t aware the upper deck is only accessible through the master suite but I loved that. It was my quiet place at night to go sit, relax and listen to the sounds of the neighborhood. We lost power one night for about 6 hours and that was brutal. No fault of anyone but wanted to mention in case anyone needs constant power for any medical devices. To sum it up, great location, beautiful beach and access to plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. And great spot to catch sunsets by the beach wall in front of the house.

What a perfect getaway!
We had such a lovely time staying at this property for an early spring break. The views were fantastic, the beach toys available to us (cooler, chairs, and surf boards) were a hit, everything was clean and exactly as pictured, and the property manager was responsive, helpful, understanding, and kind. The beaches close by were exactly what we were hoping for too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great beach getaway, and we would absolutely come again. Thank you!

Picture Perfect Location
I booked this for our ladies' NYE getaway. After arriving at this property, our party was shocked we were able to get it so last minute! Incredibly kind and flexible hosts (thank you!), amazing views from the patio, well-stocked kitchen and beach gear, comfy beds, etc. A short walk (under 5 minutes) from the water and about 15 to a picture-perfect sandy beach. This is a very relaxed local beach town, we enjoyed friendly neighbors, delicious local food trucks and restaurants, quick trips to the grocery store, and being so close to San Juan. Vega Baja at its finest!

Vacation Stay August 2021
I can appreciate an honest review ,to make an informed decision.The communication between Bob and myself was excellent, he responded to any concerns in a timely manner.There were some pros and cons to this property.The location to the beach and the views were great and it was very spacious.The property was equipped with beach chairs ,a full service kitchen and cooking necessities.The cleanliness of this place could have been better, given the 158.00 cleaning fee charged, the laundry room was very dirty ,in fact, the washer and dryer needs to be replaced.I would suggest a new cleaning crew or checking their work upon completion of cleaning .Upon checking out it was required for guests to wash all towels and strip the beds and place a load in the washer ,again we are guest and we paid a cleaning fee ,this should not be required. I would suggests some upgrades to the place ,such as the master bathroom tub ,it is very slippery,I actually fell getting in and it leeks water.The flooring throughout the place was dirty ,this property has so much potential. In addition ,I would suggest regular pest control to deal with the tiny bugs in the property.Overall,the house was a nice size ,but the cleanliness is a big factor ,for that reason ,I would not stay here again.

Hi Damon, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they would like to share the following: - The home is professionally cleaned and a walk-through is performed before each guest's arrival in order to ensure that our high standards of cleanliness are being met. In addition, the home undergoes a deep cleaning every month by a separate company. - We encourage guests to reach out with any concerns while in residence so we have the opportunity to make things right - the property manager would have been happy to address your concerns immediately so that you could enjoy the home, should you have conveyed it during the instances that checked on you during your the stay. - While the washer and dryer are older models, they work well. - Stripping linen and starting a load of laundry are typical check-out instructions in the vacation rental industry but we apologize if this caught you off-guard. We send these instructions out in the pre-stay email so that guests have the opportunity to plan accordingly. - We do apologize for the single bug that you saw during your stay. The home is regularly treated for pests, but our location in the tropics can mean that pests can occasionally be present. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

Beautiful ovean views & perfect size for 2 families
I wish we could have stayed longer, and taken advantage of the bikes, surfboards, etc. As it was, we enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, playing lawn games and amazing days at Puerto Nuevo beach, minutes from the rental. Bob was helpful and easy to communicate with ahead of and during our stay. Highly recommend! Only negative was neighborhood barking dogs, but can't blame Bob or the home owners for that. Just bring earplugs :)

Great house and great property management
We had a great family vacation here. It’sa good location because of its proximity to numerous beaches and restaurants. The house is well stocked with beach supplies, kitchen supplies and entertainment options (movies, video games, books). Bobby is an excellent property manager. He was there to greet us and checked in on us a few times via text message to see if we needed anything. Of the dozens of VRBO vacations we’ve done, Bobby is one of the best hosts we’ve met.

Amazing, Relaxing, Spectacular Beach House
This house is awesome. We want to own this place, live here permanently. Seriously. There were six of us for our five day stay. We found the house to be beautiful, comfortable, solid, accommodating, relaxing, everything one could ask for. While the place is uncluttered and modern, there are personal and homey touches scattered throughout. The views from both the upper balcony and the lower carport/veranda are amazing. It was so nice to be able to grab your coffee, adult beverage, plate of food and go out to enjoy the view. The grounds are perfectly manicured. The house is located in a really nice, safe, and quiet neighborhood, comes fully stocked with bikes, towels, and beach chairs, and the local supermarket Econo is three minutes down the road. The beach is a quick seven minute walk away and much of that walk is along the water itself. In addition to Pizza Marina, there are a handful of food trucks and other nearby spots where you can grab a drink or bite to eat. Oh the beach! The beach is awesome. There's a main regular stretch of beach and then there's the pool-ish part of the beach surrounded by sand on one side and rocks on the other. Waves crash over the rocks and flow down the into the pool area which stays calm all the while. Very family friendly but fun for all. Property manager Bob was great as well. He reached out proactively before we got there, dropped a lot of local knowledge, and responded quickly to any little questions or issues we had. Great stay. Cannot recommend highly enough. We will be back.
