About this property

Beach-house Secure Gate community, 15 min walk to the beach

Beautiful, comfortable beach house in a private gated community. It is a 15-minute walking distance to El Malecon de Patillas (Beach), where you can enjoy jet skiing, paddleboarding, live music, food, and drinks. It is excellent for nightlife, sunrise, and sunset. The house offers a quiet place for great short vacations or long stays. Upon your check-in, you will be provided with an electronic key that will provide you access to the community, the community pool, and the beach.

NOTE: We provide limited battery backup power during electrical outages to help you stay comfortable. During an outage, the lights throughout the house will remain on, and the refrigerator, ceiling fans, and TV will continue to function.

The house is completely furnished with full-size kitchen appliances, 3 bedrooms with A/C, 2 full bathrooms, a kitchen-dining room, and a living room that can accommodate 7 people. The house is 5 minutes from El Bajo Beach and has plenty of local authentic Puerto Rican restaurants, so if you don’t feel like cooking, no problem.

Patillas is a small community with authentic local Puerto Rican charm, a true island with clean, beautiful beaches and mountain scenery. Experience the Caribbean lifestyle and bring your family to our slice of heaven! We would love to be at your service. Because Puerto Rico is a small island, you can get around by car to just about any destination within 1 to 2 hours. Here in Patillas, you are on the southeastern tip of the island, surrounded by Caribbean beaches. Relax and enjoy your home away from home.

Since we are family-owned, we can offer better rental rates that are ‘guaranteed’ so we can pass on the savings to our clients. Since I am from Patillas and have a large extended family in the immediate area, we offer you a large network of friendly and efficient professional maintenance crew that can quickly respond to your issues if they appear.

The house is comfortable, its location at the corner allows you to enjoy the ocean breeze all the time, and you will not need AC during the day. It has a nice area outside to hang out or to enjoy a BBQ and the neighborhood is very quiet. The property manager lives nearby and he is very responsive if you need anything. Loved this place.

All in all, this was a very good stay. This house has all of the basics you need. We weren't looking for anything fancy. We just wanted a nice house close to our in-laws in a safe community. The house was very clean. We always do a nice, thorough check for cleanliness when we get to a hotel or Vacation Rental and this passed the test; no complaints It was great having A/C in the bedrooms for a good, comfortable sleep. Honestly, seeing the modular sofa in the outside area did not impress me in the pictures; I really didn't think we'd use it. But we did use it a lot. It was a great change of scenery to hang out or when someone wanted to have a quiet, private conversation. The community is very quiet. I didn't hear anyone drive around with loud music. The neighbors don't bother anyone and Hector, the property manager, lives a couple of blocks away. He is very attentive should you need anything. There are a few basics I wish they had, though. The dishware is not microwaveable, so we did not use the microwave much.

The property was great. The only complaints I have are the directions to the place were not very clear. It would have been helpful to know the name of the community as well as the house number. It would have saved us quite a bit of time in trying to find it. The instructions for getting into the gate with the cell phone weren't very clear. I would go back again though.

The property is well appointed with most necessities.

Our last two days in the property were a trying experience: Earthquakes! These events are totally out of your control. Nonetheless, a timely well being check on your guests during natural disasters go a long way. We had to evacuate 2 days earlier at 4:30 a.m. and seek higher grounds do to Tsunami warnings for the entire South, including Patillas. We had no light or water. Needless to say, we were confused and aggrevated by these events.

Also next time feel free to contact the home owner directly so we can update our procedures so we can accommodate your family so you have wonderful vacation in the area. I do understand the confusion due to the PR earthquakes however this area is not been affected as hard as other areas in PR.
