Exceptional stay!

Our family of 7 had the absolute pleasure of staying at the yellow beach house this past week and had the best time! It was just as expected with the awesome pool and hot tub … and the beach was just a few steps away. The house setup was great for our family, and was clean and ready upon our arrival. While we explored the area, we loved our time at the house just relaxing. Manny was an awesome host during our stay assisting with anything needed and great recommendations for dinner. William was also very helpful during the booking addressing many questions while trying to make a decision. We appreciate their attentiveness and quick responses! We were sad when we had to leave but look forward to more vacations at the house. Most certainly recommend!!

5 Stars – Perfect Island Getaway!

We had an incredible stay at the Yellow Beach Home in Puerto Rico! The house was clean, cheerful, and exactly as described—bright, breezy, and just steps from the beach. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and enjoying coffee at one of many outdoor seating areas was the perfect antidote to life’s everyday hustle.The home was well-equipped with everything we needed, from kitchen supplies to beach gear, and the Wi-Fi and A/C worked great. The location was peaceful and safe, but still close to restaurants, local markets, and some amazing beaches.Our host and property manager, Manny, were incredibly responsive and helpful, offering great tips on where to eat and what to explore nearby. We felt completely at home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for couples, families, or anyone looking to relax and soak up some island magic!

2025 PR Family vacation

We had a wonderful time staying at this property with our family of eight. The location was absolutely perfect—close to everything we needed but still peaceful and relaxing. The house was spacious, clean, and well-stocked with all the amenities to make our stay comfortable, including a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of towels, beach gear, and cozy common areas where we could all gather.We loved starting our mornings on the patio and spending time together in the shared spaces. Everyone had enough room to relax and recharge, which made the trip even more enjoyable. It was a great home base for exploring the area.The only downsides were the mosquitoes, which were more active than expected, and the presence of sargassum on the beach during our stay. Neither was a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of if you’re visiting during the same season.Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely return. Thank you for a fantastic family getaway!

Yellow House Retreat

This is our second visit. First was 2 years ago. Love the location. Manny is excellent! We have problems with septic right away, that needed to be pumped. Ran out of propane for cooking, and for hot tub, but was taken care of quickly. House shows more wear and tear since our last visit. We will return. Cannot beat location and overall accommodations.Didn’t hear back from owner after left and tried to bring these issues up. We love this place and hope some updates for overall wear and tear completed.

Special birthday vacation

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.

Such a great place for a family vacation!

This is our first time in Puerto Rico when it was absolutely beautiful. We went with another couple and it was perfect because we each had her own apartment! The pool and the hot tub are amazing. The very short walk to the beach is also beautiful. We use the pizza oven one night and it worked great. The noseeums are pretty bad so take spray. The beach is next-door to a public campground, but we did not have any issue with the noise, etc. Some of the beach did have quite a bit of trash, but was still beautiful and a perfect place to hang out.

Favorite Vacation

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!

Beautiful house and property with a lovely beach.

This house and property, right on the beach, was exactly what our family was looking for. While all the beaches are public, we barely saw anybody so it seem like our own private beach. The house was great, and had everything we needed and Manny , the property manager was awesome! We loved our stay here, and would highly recommend it if you’re looking to visit Puerto Rico!
