The property was amazing and the manager was extremely responsive to our requests (of which there were few). Direct access to the beach that was only steps away made for some amazing sunrise views!
The grounds were wonderful and the house was steps from the beach. The house had kayaks and paddle boards for our use. Manny, who manages the property was very attentive and helpful.
The house was ideal for a family vacation. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Spent some time down by the beach but spent most of our beach time at Loquillo near the kiosks.Loved grilling every night, and had fun using the pizza oven. Made use of the poolside outdoor bathroom and shower especially after a beach day.House was clean, well appointed, w several outdoor seating areas in both sun and shade.Natural landscape was beautiful w many palm trees.It was essentially a private resort.Manny was great….met us at check in and check out and answered all our questions.We plan on returning.
We were a group of 6 adults and thoroughly enjoyed our week there. Both kitchens were well stocked with both equipment and sundries. Both the pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all. The property manager was quick to respond whenever we needed him.
A little paradise. Our first trip to Puerto Rico and we love the island. The home is laid out very well with very nice outdoor seating areas, great pool and hot tub. Nice selection of beach amenities. The home is split upper and lower with the two bedrooms being on the lower level and a single bedroom upstairs. Both have kitchens. The upper level is a bit more roomier than the ground level. Overall a very nice home.
Manny the host was the greatest! He helped with anything we needed and answered our messages quickly. He sent us lists of his favorite places to eat and things to do. He went above and beyond for us and we appreciated that. It was obvious he cared about the guests and the property. He showed us around the property and how to turn on the hot tub, which we used and loved. The beach was very easily accessed. Good for kids as you can go explore the ocean go very far out and still be waist deep. We did lots of kayaking with the provided kayaks. Had BBQ's in the back yard and spentma lot of our time there.
The house was very comfortable for all guests. Manny was available when we needed him. The outdoor living areas made for a beautiful backdrop for my daughters surprise engagement.
A little slice of paradise with your own beach, hot tub, pool, kayaks, snorkels… We loved it! And Manny was great - the property is clean and in great shape.
The house worked out perfectly to reunite our family for my birthday. Our two adult children flew in with their partners and we had plenty of room and privacy for everyone. We enjoyed the comfortable grounds/pool and fun amenities like the kayaks and paddle boards. The location was perfect for hiking in the rain forest and not too far for an occasional visit to Old Town San Juan.
Great family resort like property close to rainforest and many other attractions. Kids loved exploring the property and the beach. The pool and hot tub kept them entertained for hours. One of our best family vacations.
The Happy Yellow House has become our new happy place! Felt like having our own private resort - the pictures do not do it justice! Beautiful property, calm, peaceful beach - great for snorkeling and safe for kids. We look forward to returning someday!
We had an amazing 4 day stay at the Happy Yellow House. It was the perfect home base for our Puerto Rico vacation. We enjoyed the outdoor area the most spending a lot of our time in the private pool and hot tub. We loved the short walk to the beach and how close it was too all the local attractions. The fully equipped home was perfect for our family of 5.
This place is absolutely amazing. The house was comfortable and well spaced, and loved that 2 separate areas. Outside hosted a wonderful pool, hot tub, showerr house, and numerous sitting areas. Host provided several items for use at beach. Loved tge stay .
This place is amazing. We just completed our 5th stay on the island and this has been the best so far. Perfect place, perfect amenities and perfect location. Manny was very helpful and the process was easy from booking all the way through check out. We will be back!

This was the best Vacation home
From the moment we arrived Manny the homes manager made sure our stay was perfect. The pool and hot tub were wonderfully and the beach is only steps away from the back yard. The house was extremely clean and the beds were very comfortable. So much to do right at the house snorkeling was great and there are two paddle boards
Best vacation ever.

Stephan,
Thanks for the review. We loved having you, Hope to see you again.
This was our second stay at the Yellow House and it was just wonderful. It's like having your very own ocean front resort all to yourself. Convenient location close to restaurants and shopping (short driving distance). Nice, quiet neighborhood. Everyone is super friendly. Can't wait to come back for round 3 someday!
Very private, solid house. Spent much time in the Backyard amenities.
We lost power and it was great that the house had a backup generator to keep the house cool.
