2BR/2BA Villa near the beach, golf w/ WiFi, large balcony, views to pool/garden
I am the proud owner of Rustica, a villa located at Fairway Courts, a gated community at the heart of the world-renowned Palmas del Mar, a beach resort and golf course nested on the southeast corner of the island in the town of Humacao, Puerto Rico. Palmas del Mar is located just 45-50 minutes from San Juan International Airport.
The villa has ample room, a very spacious living space with high ceilings, a master bedroom and a guestroom. The master bedroom has a sliding door with access to the terrace/balcony. The guest bedroom is actually a lockout room with a kitchenette and has it's own bathroom. There are 2 full beds in the guest room. The villa can sleep 4-6 people comfortably.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How far away is the beach from the villa?
It's about 8-10 mins walk from the villa. The closest path is through a gate located on the back of the complex. There's a walking path used by Golf carts that passes along the edge of the golf course, then in front of the Windham hotel and finally the beach.
2. Is a golf cart included with this rental?
No, but there is a shop on-site where you can rent one. The villa comes with a parking spot for a golf cart where you can easily charge the cart.
3. Does the villa come with a membership to Palmas Athletic Club's Beach Club?
No.
Additional Info:
From the balcony you get a serene view of a pond and neatly kept lawn dotted by tall palm trees. The pond has actual real wildlife in it (such as turtles, fish, birds).
Being at the heart of Palmas del Mar, Fairway Courts is located within walking distance to many of the resort's amenities:
1. Golf Course, the villa is located between the 5th and 9th holes on one of the two championship 18-holes golf courses inside Palmas del Mar. The villa even comes equipped with its own parking spot for a golf cart. For Golf cart rentals please contact me for more info.
2. Tennis Club, the largest tennis facility in the whole Caribbean (20 courts in total; 2 artificial grass Omni Courts, 4 Har-Tru clay courts and 14 hard courts, many of which are lighted for night play. Fun fact: you can actually see some of the courts from the villa's balcony. Use the guest's keycard to access the tennis courts from Fairway Courts.
3. Windham Garden Hotel & Casino, the hotel is down the street from Fairway Courts, an easy walk or 1-minute drive.
4. the beach, it is also within walking distance or a short drive (there are more than 2 miles long of sandy beach). Use the guest's keycard to access the beach from the Fairway Courts, there's no need to drive. The beach is approximately about 10 mins walk.

This luxurious home had everything for the ideal relaxing stay. Beach and pool access was ideal. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of little amenities to make the stay perfect. We loved the separate suite with their own bathroom and fridge. The whole complex was very safe and the security guards were so helpful when we had a flat tire. Overall this is a wonderful place for families and vacationers of all kinds.
We loved our 11 night stay in this villa. Fairway Court has beautiful & well kept gardens and a lovely swimming pool. It is located within a huge Golf Estate that offers plenty of amenities. Location is perfect! We had various day trips all within an hour's drive. The villa itself is spacious & well equipped. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. Fantastic stay, would highly recommend

We absolutely loved our stay at the Villa!
If you are looking for comfort and beauty this is the place. We loved our stay. The Villa is beautiful and spacious. The pool was super close. The beach was a lovely 10 minute walk. Carlos was very quick to answer questions. We were in need of accommodations quickly and were able to secure the villa within 24 hours. 😀
We decided to take a little vacation while visiting family in Puerto Rico. Casa Rustica was a perfect choice for us and our two teenagers. The owners communication was diligent and their instructions on how to get there, how to access the house features and checkout instructions were spot on. Location was great as we were 10 mins walking distance from the beach plus we enjoyed the property's pool. Gate security for the complex added a safety feature plus Palmas del Mar had several restaurants with great food. We were very impressed with how well cleaned everything was. The owners really thought of everything, from a well stocked kitchen to toiletries in the bathrooms and a closet with everything you need for the beach. Our kids were very thankful for the phone chargers next to the bunk-beds. The place really look like the pictures including the amazing and relaxing view from the balcony. We will definitely consider staying at Casa Rustica again in future trips to Puerto Rico.

Clean, spacious, and perfect in everyway!
We just finished a three night, four day stay and couldn't have found a better spot in Palmas. Traveling with young children...this was a perfect spot to have enough room and access to all the "kid things" in the area. Carlos keeps an immaculate, well decorated, well stocked villa and as a host could not be anymore detailed or helpful. He is quick to respond and does an phenomenonal job with this place. We have already made recommendations to family/friends as this is the place to stay! Thank you Carlos!
