Paradise in Puerto Rico

To say this stay was relaxing and the owners thought of everything doesn't do this justice. From the home being well laid out with technology and internet to the beautiful views, outdoor areas, and swimming pool and bar. You need to leave for nothing other than food or drinks if you wish.Thank you Michael and Ester for an amazing stay! We will be back!

A Lovely Stay

Our family of twelve, ages 2-70 spent a week in this wonderful property. The grounds with pool, the pool slide, hot tub, and inflatable little kid pool were the highlight of the home. This is a nice neighborhood with pleasant neighbors. We felt safe. The homeowner was very fast with responses to our questions. My group would definitely stay here again! The view and sunset are stunning.

Best place to stay!

We come to Puerto Rico every year for thanksgiving with our kids and grandkids (3,11,16,19,21,22). I simply cannot truly express how amazing this time was due to the amazing house and hosts. We have a wide range of ages and the house has something for every one. We ended up spending more days just at the house than expected because of the amazing view and amenities. The hosts are beyond amazing!! They responded immediately if we had any questions and made us truly feel at home. We can wait to book this house again.

This is a modern home with all of the amenities. Kitchen was well-equipped; beds were comfortable. There was even a beautifully decorated Christmas tree (we were there the week after Christmas). My biggest praise has to go to the excellent communication with the owner, both before and after arrival on the property. Texts and e-mails were answered promply. We had a great time at this house.

Great Family vacation

We had 9 family members ranging from age 3 to 83. The house was wonderful, although admittedly, we spent the majority of our time outdoors, which was also wonderful and just as represented in the listing. We should have brought binoculars, as we were sure we saw a few whales from the deck. The added treat was Hennessy, the next door neighbors dog who won all of our hearts!

The pool is amazing and kept the kids quite busy 😊 Close to everything you need as well as a beach about 15 min away which was perfect for the kids as it is surrounded by reefs.

They recommended the best florists for our wedding and they communicated with the florist to get the perfect flowers ordered. Every time we had a question, they answered us promptly. They are two of the kindest and helpful people we have ever encountered. We will definitely try to stay at their home if we ever go back to Puerto Rico. Thank you for everything, Michael and Esther!

Family Christmas vacation! The setting was perfect looking out over the ocean! We went to San Juan for the day, went to Sandra farms, a charming coffee plantation, and several beach trips! We had a chef bring in meals that were lovely! A grand time! The only downside was Southwest Airlines failed to bring in all our family! Nothing to do with this host though! Michael was overly accommodating and a very grand host! He even arranged for groceries to be delivered for us!

Wonderful

Our group of eight, ages 7–78, had a wonderful weeklong stay. The house is spacious, with great views and multiple balconies. The kitchen appliances were all new and worked well. The outdoor space was huge, with multiple levels, patios, seating areas, and two hot tubs. All our meals were taken in the outdoor dining area with a beautiful ocean view. Food shopping was convenient. There are some really nice protected beaches 15–30 minutes away. The hosts were fantastic. They responded to any concern within minutes and any minor problems were quickly taken care of either by them or, or by myself with their instructions. They were definitely the most forthcoming and accommodating host I’ve ever met.

Extended Family Vacation

We stayed at this property for 10 days and loved it. We had 10 family members ranging from 8 years to 70 years and plenty of space for all of us to spread out. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space and the pictures online do not do the view of the ocean justice. It is an incredible view. The owners were extremely responsive to all questions we had before and during our trip and were very helpful. This is a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle. There is a beautiful beach with a natural formed "pool" about 10 minutes away that also has a restaurant/bar. We spent a few afternoons there and I felt my kids were very safe from the waves in that area of the ocean. We loved the nearby cave system and we did some day trips down to Rincon and back to San Juan. We are already talking about returning!
