About this property

Location! Location! Location! 5 min Walk To Best Snorkeling Beach, Playa Melones

The Pastel House Casita is a great choice for a casual and relaxing Culebra vacation.

It’s been said that in real estate, its location, location, location. The Pastel House Casita offers one of the island’s best locations – an easy 5 minute walk to world-class snorkeling
at Melones Beach. And just a 5 to 10 minute walk to town. While some guests choose to rent a vehicle to visit other beaches others prefer to spent their vacation on foot. The choice is up to you.

Near constant breezes are captured by the enviable position of the casita on a hillside with wide open space to the east and west, utilizing the cooling Caribbean trade winds to maximum advantage.

The Pastel House Casita's open design kitchen/living area, 2 bedrooms, private deck and superior location make it the smart choice for your perfect Culebra vacation.

We had a great stay! Ann is very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed when we arrived. Location is amazing - we loved being able to walk to Melones beach, and walked into town for dinner every night! The views from the porch are amazing and we loved staying at the pastel house!

A few minor issues like the coffee machine not being cleaned, a weird wooden floor mat at the kitchen sink (trip hazard), etc… but it was a really cool place and the location was great. I would stay again. Comms were great. Thank you!

We loved our stay at the Pastel Casita. The host Ann was welcoming and so helpful and kind during our stay. The views were amazing and sunsets out of this world! It was close to town but a golf cart was a good addition so you could get around Culebra. The Casita was quaint and perfect our our stay. Svea and Rob from Colorado!

We loved our stay at Ann’s place. It was really relaxing-I awoke to the sound of the ocean, coffee with an ocean view, walked to the beach in the morning, visited Flamenco beach and Culebrita Island. I was happy we chose a place so close to everything - it was worth the ease. Ann has everything you need to be comfortable and to cook. Our last night we had a gorgeous sunset! Thank you!

A few minute walk to the best snorkeling spot on the island which also has gorgeous sunset views. Very close to town but felt quiet and private. Ann was a wonderful host and we hope to come back to enjoy more time at her beautiful place!

Host Ann is wonderful. Always quick to reply to a question or need. The apartment is the bottom unit of another rental and Ann’s home is directly beside the apartment, joined by a walkway. So not super private, but Ann and her partner are quiet as were the folks above us. It was so nice to have the use of a washer and dryer and while the kitchen has the basics, it was all we needed for the small amount of simple cooking we did.There are many ceiling fans and the warm breezes are fantastic.

Charming Hillside Retreat

We loved our stay at Pastel Casita on the Road to Melones Beach, Culebra, Puerto Rico. It was charming and rustic but very clean with beautiful views of the Caribbean, neighboring Vieques and Puerto Rico in the distance. Ann, the property manager, was very friendly, attentive and helpful in making our vacation so enjoyable. We look forward to a return visit!

Overall delightful place

We really enjoyed Anne’s house. It was very well appointed and everything you might possibly need is already there. Love the ambience and the proximity to Melones Beach and town. Anne is a sweetheart. The only drawback is the lack of air conditioning. Otherwise everything was fantastic.
