This house is immaculate in its up keep. The location is nestled in a quiet gated community. The owner is very responsive and accommodating. The backyard pool was a welcome treat for the kids after a fun day exploring the islandWe brought our family of 8 for a week. Kids age ranging from 6 to 18 years old. Humacao Natural Reserve is just down the street. El Yungue national first 40min drive. Chaco El Hippie even closer. Rick(owner) was wonderful.

We had a lovely stay. The home was spotless and exactly as described. The host was so helpful, offering info and recommendations that enhanced our visit. We were traveling with our toddler and made good use of the crib, linens, high chair and baby float for the pool. Speaking of the pool, the back yard was gorgeous and we spent hours playing. Thank you Rick!

This was perfect for our family! The pool is well maintained, the house is clean, the beach is quiet and close! I saw other reviews that weren’t thrilled with the beach, but I thought it was just lovely! We met up with friends in Luquillo, and while that beach is a bit calmer with more sandy shore area, it was very crowded and full of litter. The beach that we could walk to from this home was clean and quiet, a little bit rougher water, but nothing you wouldn’t expect from an ocean. The host is very responsive to questions. I was worried about it being labeled “rural” but being from the Midwest, driving 7 minutes into town is nothing It was so nice having a private pool for my kids and a clean, quiet beach within a 2 second walk.

Didn’t want to leave!

We had a fantastic stay! The check in process is easy, the drive from San Juan airport is beautiful and also simple. We really enjoyed being in a quieter part of the island and had a chance to see the East coast and eastern mountainous areas. Getting into El Yunque from here was an easy drive as well! We loved the quiet beach just steps from the front door, and venturing out to some of the coastal island beaches as well. We would stay here again, and plan for a longer stay any time!

Lovely little vacay home

The house is exactly as pictured. Very clean, spacious and great pool. The beach is good for a stroll but not best for swimming. A rental car is a must as it was pretty out of the way of most activities, however it was lovely to come home to a beautiful clean home at the end of a hot day. Very family friendly. We loved our stay.

Family vacation

My kids and I enjoyed our first family vacation in Puerto Rico and staying here was awesome. The house was beautiful and we enjoyed the quiet and safe neighborhood….we’d start and end the day in the fabulous pool and felt right at home. The host was amazing! Not only did he provide his gorgeous house, he also gave us restaurant recommendations and was available for any questions or concerns we had during our stay. We can’t wait to visit again!

Humacao at Christmas

The place is immaculately clean. I know there were some reviews that didn't like the beach but we loved it, good waves to crash and play in for older kids. The host was very responsive to any questions. I appreciated that there were lots of beach towels and things like shampoo and laundry detergent and trashbags. We had a great stay and will definitely be back again.

The house is perfect and has everything you could ever need. The pictures don’t do it justice. Everything is simple, clean, and well thought out. Rick is great too. We ended up getting here two days later due to airports being closed and I asked if we could stay an extra day. Rick said no problem. The pool is nice and private and the yard is immaculate. The neighborhood is also perfect for me. There’s a beautiful beach a few houses down and it seems like it’s private. It’s beautiful, especially if you love nature. The Humacao Nature Reserve is right next to the neighborhood. Beautiful wide trails throughout to explore. All kinds of water birds living in there. There are stores nearby and the fairy is relatively close. This is my third time in the neighborhood and this place is the best so far. I will be back here again if my group size is appropriate. If you are a nature lover and want relaxation, this is the neighborhood in my opinion.

Rick's house is beautiful, clean, up to date, and the same as the description. He is very thoughtful in taking care of his guests. His swimming pool is nice and clean, providing some pool toys, a cooler, and a BBQ in the pool shed. Sufficient beach and bath towels are A plus. Washing machines and dryers are great for travelers during their stays.We had a rental car, loved the Location, which is 50 minutes away from the city and the airport. It takes only 30 mins to the rainforest, 20 minutes coffee tour Hacienda Munos, and an additional 15-20 minutes to reach the pork highway. The gate community is safe, clean, and quiet. 5-10 minutes you can reach to stores and restaurants. We can enjoy the nature and activities near the Rick's house.

Puerto Rico vacation

We took a couples trip to Puerto Rico for Valentine’s Day weekend in total it was 6 of us.. We arrived at the home and everything was great. From cleanliness to the aroma of the home every-time you walked in. The beds were great. And the house was always cool. Amazing stay and the host was very attentive and spectacular. I would definitely book this house again . It is literally 40/50 feet away from the beach. — it’s a private beach. Clean. The pool was awesome. Thank you.

Nice retreat

We enjoyed our recent week staying at this property. Our first trip to Puerto Rico, we decided to stay on the eastern side of the island to visit the main highlights - a few trips to San Juan, eastern beaches, rain forest and the bioluminescence bay. Pros - pool, well appointed, roomy, gated community, nearby city has all necessities and air conditioning for all rooms. Cons - none really for the property, just be prepared for nature sounds to come through the windows in the morning as soon as the sun comes up Note. The beach was not a swimming beach

Nice and comfortable place to stay for the most part.

The house was clean and comfortable. Communication with the owner was good. The only complaint I have is that the airconditioners may need to be serviced or replaced. It just didn't stay cool consistently in the house. We made sure the blinds were down and doors were always closed to prevent all areas of house from warming up. Other than that issue, everything else worked out fine.

Lovely, well appointed home away from the hustle and bustle

My husband and two daughters (21 and 17) had a wonderful stay in this home. Everything was very clean and well stocked. The community is a mix of very well kept homes and some that appear to be abandoned, possibly from past hurricanes? But this home was very nice, updated and had a beautiful pool. It is 5 minutes from a Walmart and several fast food chains and even closer to several local restaurants. We picked this location to be away from the crowds and it was perfect for that purpose. Most of our trips were between 30-60 minutes away with activities including touring a coffee plantation, snorkeling on Icacos, a rain forest adventure in El Yunque and a bio bay tour in Fajardo. We really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and didn’t mind the drive each day for our adventures. It is noteworthy to mention that the beach here is beautiful, but not a white sandy beach for lounging or swimming. We didn’t plan to spend lots of time on the beach so that was not an issue for us. I highly recommend this home if you have similar interests in your vacation time.
