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!

Thank you for staying with us at Estrella del Sol. We are thrilled to hear that you found the location ideal and your overall experience was enjoyable. We would welcome the opportunity to host you again during a future visit to Puerto Rico!
We are a family (4 adults; 2 adolescent kids) on vacation in Puerto Rico. Estrella del sol was the best place we've stayed so far. Spacious. Super clean. Well-equipped. Lots of thoughtful amenities, like 2 kinds of coffeemakers and an electric tea kettle. Books, games, and videos for kids of all ages. Very responsive, friendly hosts who live on-site. It's a little of the beaten path, but is in a quiet neighborhood with good access to Luquillo, the beach and Los Kioscos and El Yunque. We had a great time!

About the host
Hosted by Chandran
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...
