AIR CONDITIONING:
There are newer air conditioning units in all 3 bedrooms. No AC throughout the rest of the home. If you and/or any member of your travel party feels that whole home air conditioning is a necessity to have a more pleasant experience, this may not be the home for you. We much prefer that you choose another home where you will be completely comfortable. We provide ceiling and floor fans throughout the house and plenty of fresh ocean breezes to keep you energized. Be mindful that some days are breezier than others and everyone’s heat tolerance is different. Generally, from November thru March, temperatures are cooler than the rest of the year and some evenings may even get on the chilly side. NOTE: when the power grid goes down, our backup batteries automatically turn on and everything will be available to use EXCEPT THE AIR CONDITIONERS.
OUR SOLAR SYSTEM:
Puerto Rico still experiences periodic power and water outages. Our guests do not need to worry about being stranded without power as we are fully equipped with solar panels and Generac batteries. In the event of a rare water outage, we have TWO 600 gallon water tanks (cisterns) on site for added peace of mind which is supplied with 100% rainwater, which is collected and filtered for your safe use and consumption.
MINI-FARM:
In late 2023, our chicken farm was born. Our amazing neighbor built for us, a spacious and strong chicken coop from scratch and we now have several resident female hens that provide organic cage-free eggs daily. You will see them free roaming the backyard during the day. We also have a few quail birds that provide fresh eggs daily. Their eggs are smaller in size and tastes/fries up just like regular chicken eggs. We provide all our guests with the freshest eggs that can be left out on the counter-top just prior to cooking. Just give each egg a quick rinse and you’re good to go! Our farm also has bananas, plantains, guava, cassava, and breadfruit. If any are ready for harvest before your arrival, we will leave the harvest in the kitchen for your enjoyment!

About the host
Hosted by Nerissa C. Rivera

Josh spent a large part of his childhood in Puerto Rico (Bayamón) and has lots of family who now live in Hatillo and Arecibo. Nerissa was born in Guyana in South America (a former British colony), the only country other than Brazil, where the primary language is English (not Spanish). She grew up in Queens, NYC and is a city girl at heart.
We met in college at Pace University in NYC, and have been married for 20 years (no kids but we have plenty of the 4-legged kind). In 2015, Josh’s then employer offered him the opportunity of a lifetime to work full time in Puerto Rico! Nerissa’s employer offered her a full-time work from home Recruiting gig so she was also able to continue working from PR.
We spent most of 2015 living/working in Islote, Arecibo. In 2016, we started looking for and found our future retirement home, which we now lovingly call Casa Ocean Breeze. In September 2017, Hurricane Maria did a number on her but we were very blessed to quickly repair and/or replace what was damaged (sans FEMA). Now, every time we plan a new home project, we ask ourselves, "Is this going to be Hurricane Maria proof"?
; - )
When we’re not working, Josh and I like to travel, especially to beach destinations. We enjoy spending time with family, friends and our fur children. We also love hiking, snorkeling, live concerts, reading and working around the house.
