At night, you will be lulled by the sounds of the Rainforest including the coquis and if you are a star gazer, this is the place to be.
The villa apartment has a separate entrance from the main villa. You have the choice of the courtyard with chairs at the front of the house or the first floor veranda around the back of the house to enjoy in the comfort of the hammock (hamaca), enjoy gazing at the stars at night, or sit and relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

Nice get-a-way in Rio Grande area

The location of this property was ideal for our trip. We were able to visit nearby friends/ family (in Rio Grande and Fajardo) and take day trips to the nearby towns of El Yunque, Piñones, Carolina, and even Old San Juan. Our unit was nicely decorated, and well-maintained. The property owner communicated well, and was quick to respond to my questions. Enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I love to travel and explore the world. Meeting new people, learning about diverse/new culture and seeing the amazing places that the world has to offer are our passions in life. From Milford Sound in NZ, to the Fjords of Norway, to the Great Wall of China, to Borobudur, in Indonesia and the Cliffs of Mohr in Ireland…..and many, many more in between. Our hobbies include making home brewed beers, cooking/eating international cuisine, golfing, and riding our motorcycle to explore the highways and byways of the continental United States – such as the Kangamagus (NH), Peak-to-Peak (CO), etc...
