About this property

Fantastic beach house on a secluded beach

A three story, four bedroom beach house located on a mile of lonely sandy beach. It is steps away from a fish market, an open-air restaurant (La Casa del Dorado) and only a short distance away from several neighborhood bars, food stands and a bakery. Located in the historic Barrio Espinar, this quaint neighborhood is home to the oldest church ruins on the island dating back to the 1500's. The upper-level terrace provides the best view of the west coast overlooking pueblos from Aguadilla to Rincon. The main level has three bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen and access to the third level patio. The lower level studio has its own living room, bathroom, kitchenette and laundry.

Fabulously relaxing

Our family of 9 enjoyed our time in this wonderful home. Plenty of room for all of us. The beach was so much fun. We felt like we had it all to ourselves.

Great beach vacation

Six of us stayed here for a week in February. Everyone of us enjoyed the location enjoyed the house. Two restaurants nearby to walk to. Grocery store within driving distance. Walk right out to the beach and right out to the ocean. Great walks on the beach. Room for all six of us. We never felt crowded. Great decks to sit on with great views and a great sunset every night.

Great Beach House

We just returned from our family vacation, The house was great! Booking to arrival was a breeze. Love the house, plenty of space for our family of 9, my husband and I, grown children and granddaughters ages 9-12. The house was spotless, and had lots of amenities. Agapito met us on arrival and showed us around, he was so welcoming and helpful. The beach was so nice, had it all to ourselves. The girls loved boogie boarding! The view was beautiful, and listening to the waves was so relaxing. Restaurants and stores so close, and a great bakery right around the corner. I highly recommend this house!

Family time

Three families stayed here for the week. We had a blast on the beach, easy driving but everything we wanted to do was close to our house. We really didn’t have too many plans other than relaxing in the sun and swimming in the ocean.

Our own (almost) private beach

Wonderful stay, great weather, lovely people. We were a large family group and the property was right on the beach so the little ones had their fill of swimming and surfing. There are a few little things that would improve the property, soap holders in all the showers, new medicine cabinets and increased seating in the living area. Gracias to Agapito, the very gracious caretaker.

I was never told until I arrived to the house that the beach was blocked from the front of the house

I asked the owner for some kind of compensation for the inconvenience of having a barricade wall in the front of the house which did not let us enjoy the beach and they never responded. We should had been told even if it just happened and given the option to get out of contract since the condition of the listing on HomeAway was not the same as we encountered in person

All good things and more

My family and I stayed at this location and instantly upon arrival we were all impressed. Phenomenal view and access to the ocean. Multiple spaces to unwind as you drink a cafecito while you watch the waves rolling in. Kichen has everything we could need for our stay and more. Property manager was attentive and kind. He offered suggestions of where to eat and things to do. Space was clean and welcoming. I could not find one negative thing to say if I tried. Extremely happy with our stay. Family is already asking when we could go back, but only if we stay at this location.

The property exceeded our expectations!

This house is amazing. Great views. Very comfortable and has everything you need for a beach vacation. There are lots of beach towels, chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards and SUP boards. Crash Boat beach is only 20 minutes away. Nathan, the host was very accommodating and responsive to any questions we had before we arrived. Once we were there we had no reasons to contact the host. We had a great stay. We wish it was longer.

Not a “10” property but the view certainly is!

The view each morning brought smiles and much joy! If you want to do day activities, many are back toward San Juan and driving gets tiresome. Plan ahead.

Great beachfront house

We came for the July 4th week with 2 families 4 adults and 5 kids. Everyone had plenty of room and the location was perfect. The house has incredible views and everything you would need for families on the beach. There are a few restaurants nearby and everyone we met was very friendly. The house was a bit dated and could use a slight remodel but it worked well for our group. I did notice an extra $400 fee labeled "Owner fees" after I booked which I've never seen before? I asked the owner what it was and never received an answer? I would highly recommend this home especially for the price. Can't beat the view!

Wonderful beach which we all enjoyed very much. There were plenty of beach towels, beach chairs and great paddle boards. We just needed more indoor table seating and some comfortable outdoor seating on the fabulous decks overlooking the water.

Wonderful vacation on the beach and close to beach towns!

This beach house had everything we needed - fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, comfortable beds, patio furniture, beach chairs, cooler, beach towels, umbrellas, beach toys, paddle boards, etc. etc.!!! The rooftop overlooking the beach was the best! We enjoyed the beach right at the house, but also ventured out to some fun beach towns around 30 mins away - Rincon and Isabela. We also drove about an hour to La Parguera and rented a boat, toured the beautiful cays/islands, beaches, and even snorkeled a bit. Such a beautiful island with so much to explore! Thanks to our wonderful hosts who gave us tons of great suggestions!!! Highly recommend this part of Puerto Rico, away from the hustle and bustle of San Juan (although definitely need to spend a day in Old San Juan)! Best restaurant nearby was Mahi Mahi! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home!!!

Better than expected

I cannot over-emphasize enough how amazing this property is. Right on the beach! The view from the porch is stunning. If Only I could wake up every morning and drink my coffee from the porch and watch the birds dive into the ocean!! The property was clean, the property owner was very informative, and the property had everything we needed! We hope to be back!!

Wonderful!

Best family beach trip ever! The sea was perfect, (even for the 4 y.o. who learned to snorkle, btw) sandy, relatively calm and clear waters, NO seaweed. We paddleboarded with turtles, then saw one come ashore to lay eggs! AMAZING! We saw dolphins too, and could see fish in the surf. Some guys were training their horses to be comfortable on the beach and in the water....don't see that everywhere. Oh, and beautiful sea glass washes up every day! The house layout is perfect for us...6 adults and 3 kids. It is very well stocked with kitchen appliances, towels, linens, beach toys, even umbrellas and paddleboards. The porches were just beautiful, of course the view at sunset was jaw dropping. I highly recommend this place! Just to note, the beach retainer wall in front of the house was damaged by the January earthquake (I think) and with Covid-19 restrictions, has not yet been repaired. It was no big deal, we were allowed to use the neighbors beach access. We didn't want to leave!

It was okay.

When we checked in there were several cockroaches in the home. I informed the vrbo contact and was told they'd get back to me regarding an exterminator. No word for over a day until I reached out again and they informed me they had someone scheduled to come out. We were also told we'd get another set of keys and that someone would come unclog a bathroom drain and neither happened. Overall it was a lovely house and everyone enjoyed themselves but the communication was lacking follow through.

Beautiful quiet beach and roomy, comfortable house.

The house was exactly as advertised and the beach was lovely. The owner left excellent information on the area, including restaurants and shops and surfing beaches. The caretaker, Agapito, was wonderful and met us at the house late-night to check us in and show us around. We had everything we needed including beach towels, chairs, and beach toys. The fence between the house and the beach was damaged and a temporary plywood structure was in its place but the owner informed us of this in advance and deducted 10% from the rent for the inconvenience. I very much appreciated their forthrightness and honesty in this matter.

Beautiful beach front house

This house was awesome for our stay! There were 6 adults and 7 kids and we had the perfect amount of space. The house had everything we needed and even included extra toilet paper and shampoo/conditioner. The kitchen was fully stocked and even included some spices. The house also included regular & beach towels and sheets and having the washer and dryer was such a life saver! The A/C in the house cooled the house very easily and we were never uncomfortable. There were tons of water toys for the kids and the guys LOVED the paddle boards. Being right on the beach is something you can't beat. Super convenient and easy. Also has outside showers to get rinsed off. The kids also loved the multiple hammocks downstairs. The house is located in a nice neighborhood that was centrally located and super close to a bakery/store that we went to every morning for a great affordable breakfast. The only cons are there are dogs next door that bark every morning, but obviously that's something that's out of our control. And also something to keep in mind is the water tank is solar powered so you need to be conscious when sharing the house not to use all of the hot water! Other than that, the owners were super easy to get a hold of and was accommodating to meet us when we got in crazy early in the morning. We will definitely be staying here for our future visits!!

Super comfortable house

Mr. Lopez was exceptionally gracious and helpful. We had a blast paddle boarding and then just hanging out on the terrace. The kitchen and rooms had everything we needed. The AC work perfectly and the mattress are super comfy. The only trouble was the neighborhood dogs. At night they were very noisy but I understand that the owners don’t have control over this. Everything else was awesome!

An Absolute GEM!!!

I don't want to write a review for this property because I feel like I've discovered a hidden gem that I want to keep as my own little secret. :) Our party of 5 stayed in May 2018 and had the BEST experience. I was initially hesitant to rent this property due to lack of other reviews...but I'm forever grateful that we did. We loved every moment of our stay here. Our on-site host was gracious, kind, helpful and attentive. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and linen cabinet both well stocked with anything we would need. The location was perfect as most of our adventures away from the house were less than an hour's drive. We went spelunking, swimming at a beautiful (and empty of tourist) waterfall, and explored the North Shore like we were looking for treasure. At the house, there are several restaurant/bar options within walking distance ... And a supermarket that was super convenient. Walgreen's/Burger King/Wendy's etc. are just a few minutes drive away. We loved living among the locals and relished the authentic PR lifestyle. We didn't travel that far to live among other tourist .... and an authentic PR experience is what we got! Plus... can we please talk about the fact that you can hear the waves 24x7... Even when you are sleeping with the air on. LOVE! We spent hours and hours sitting outside on the balcony overlooking the beach. There was a constant breeze making it so comfortable. While there were other people that walked down the beach, and we would stop to chat with them, it really felt like we had our own little private beach. I can't say enough good things about this property, our hosts, or our experience in Puerto Rico. We will definitely be back and stay in this house again. Thank you! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Nathan & Melisa

Host profile image
Melisa and Nathan live in Minnesota with two toddler boys. Melisa grew up in the neighboring town of Aguadilla and has family members in the Espinar neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

We purchased a home in Barrio Espinar after looking to purchase a beachfront property on the west side of the island for over 10 years. We chose Aguada because it is not overly Americanized like the neighboring town of Rincon. It has an authentic Puerto Rican atmosphere - complete with the morning crowing of roosters, coquis and a local panaderia (bakery). It is where the locals go to visit the beach, eat at a seaside restaurant and to escape the city.

What makes this property unique

The home is extremely livable and directly on the beach. We have small children and are able to relax on the beach. The yard is enclosed with a fence and has a gate to access the beach.
