Old San Juan is just minutes away for your walk into history and unique little shops. Explore El Morro castle and touch the past.

El Coliseo is a short walk if planning to see Bad Bunny, Marc Anthony, Daddy Yankee, Farruco, Anuel, Festival de la Salsa or any number of events.

Casita Is A Gem

The Casita was very comfortable. Having the beach chairs and towels available allowed us to pack lighter for our luggage. The washer and dryer meant we didn't need to pack a lot of clothes. The patio was spacious and comfortable. A nice spot for the evening meal. We enjoyed a few meals outside and also relaxed with a good book. We had a wonderful visit. Gil was very responsive and gave us some tips about the local area.

Clean, convenient and well equipped.

Location was great nearby train and bus stations. Nearby convenience store for any necessities. Host provided beach chairs, and towels which made getting out to the beach convenient without having to purchase things. Loved the back patio area and was very comfortable. Would stay again.

Winning in Puerto Rico

Better than advertised. Spacious, clean, affordable. We rented a car to explore the entire island during our stay. Easy access to main thoroughfares with a gas station less than a block away. 100% better than a hotel room and communication was easy. Gil's responses were timely, everything was in order. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. If you're looking for a 5-star place to call home while visiting Puerto Rico, this is it!

Great location…

It is a great place to stay…unfortunately, the water heater stopped working the first day and it was not a pleasant experience taking cold showers. We also experience some trouble with the electronic gate. Without these incidents, it would have been a superb stay.

Wonderful space to make a temporary home

We really enjoyed the layout of the space and the relaxed feeling! Spent a lot in back which was especially nice when it was raining! We were able to cook some great meals, sleep in, and get up early. Neighborhood felt safe late at night when were were driving in from a night out. Thanks!
