About this property

A Slice of the Rainforest! Near El Yunque and Beaches, Rio Grande Puerto Rico

Casa Luz is ideal for families, small groups, and anyone seeking a comfortable, quiet, and inspirational tropical retreat. It is near El Yunque hiking trails, rainforest rivers, historic villages, and Luquillo and Fajardo beaches.

Enjoy this lovely home in the heart of the tropical mountains but close to the city and beaches. Casa Luz has spectacular tropical mountain views, three comfortable bedrooms, 360° balcony, and a centric location.

The space
This is a 3-bedroom home with pops of colors like red and yellow to complement the surroundings. Be sure to enjoy both the spacious patio and the covered outdoor breakfast area during your stay.

The huge balcony has views over the surrounding forests. The perfect retreat after long days hiking and beach (or eating your way through nearby Kiosko de Luquillo).

There are 4 beds spread between three rooms, one bathroom, plus a well-equipped kitchen, spacious indoor and outdoor living areas, and an outdoor seating area. Plus, if you're with a particularly outdoorsy group, the Yunque Trails and Zipline is just a few minutes away, perfect for day hikes and adventures.

But even if you're not interested in laying on the beach all day or hiking up mountains, the location will not disappoint. Rio Grande is steeped in history and culture, and its culinary heritage is legendary (Mofongo, anyone?). Plus, add the nearby town of Loiza, Luquillo's 60-plus street food kiosk, and plenty of bars along the route. The surroundings will leave you in high spirits.

The home is just a short drive from the San Juan Airport. On most days, you will settle back in just under 35 minutes. The Luquillo Beach area is 10 minutes away. Most rivers and hiking trails are under 15 minutes. Piñones is around 30 minutes. Make it to the Ceiba ferry system in less than 40 minutes.

This updated 3 bedroom 1 full 1-bathroom house is right in the city of Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. Guests will have access to the whole house, parking, and the backyard. Dining room and living room with smart TV. Master bedroom, closets, and private bathroom. The other nice-sized bedrooms with queen sized beds and two twin beds.

A fully furnished home that includes a kitchen and wifi, close to major highways, so you can settle in back easily. Comfortable private area with room for your family and guests.

Guests receive a "complimentary package" of dishwashing detergent, garbage bags, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper among other convenience items. We also have a few beach supplies and pantry items available.

The property does not have another alternative power source.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
When I tell you that this place EXCEEDED any expectations that we may have had, I mean, seriously, this place changed what had started out as a pretty stressful trip (issues with another listing that required unexpected relocation) into the best "home away from home" stay thus far! Our vibes and spirits were very low from the disheartening change in plans but when we arrived here, we knew it was meant to happen exactly as it did and our moods were instantly refreshed! This place was so much more than the pictures do it justice! The views/area: 10/10 The cleanliness: 10/10 Hospitality of hosts: 10/10 Space for families: 10/10 Comfortability: 10/10 Accomodations/Extras: 10/10 Proximity to all the cool stuff: 10/10 Seriously, I would love to keep this place a secret and all to myself by not exclaiming how amazing it is (so it is always available when I am ready to come back; HaHa!) but it's just too great to not share! Kudos to Vicvelyn for being a wonderful host with a gorgeous tucked away dream place! We WILL be back!

Great stay in the mountains!
This home had clean and spacious rooms and a beautiful view from the wrap around patio. Host was easy and helpful with communication. The home was very easy to find with helpful instructions from the host on how/where to park. Pictures are true to home. We needed a rental home near family for a wedding and this was perfect for a group of family members to stay together.

Perfect Homebase for Exploring El Yunque, North Shore, and More!
Our family stayed here in July 2023. The home was situated with views overlooking a lush landscape of native plants and mango, breadfruit, banana, and other trees. In the far distance you could see the ocean. Looking upslope you are delighted by majestic, cloud-cloaked mountains. The home is very clean, simple, with cheerful colors, comfortable. It’s everything we needed as a homebase and Ramon was very on top of call communications. We would definitely stay again! Thank you Ramon!
