We have safety cameras installed on the outside of the house. (there are no cameras on the inside nor on the balconies) We do have noise detector (recommended by VRBO) that detect noise decibels but not conversations, simply to make sure our neighbors are not disturbed. We do respect our guest's privacy.

In Puerto Rico water and electricity outages can occur. We have a water cistern as a backup for water but in case of an electricity outage, there is no backup. However most of the time the electricity outage lasts a few hours. We do have a gas stove which will still allow you to cook.

Beautiful property

We loved our stay at this house. We have younger kids and they loved exploring the yard and swimming in the pool. The view of the surrounding mountains and rainforest is amazing. The mosquitoes were only bad at dusk on the more humid days. Otherwise we spent a lot of time outside. The inside of the house comfortably slept 10 people. We would stay here again.

We had a lovely stay at this rainforest property. The location was excellent for visiting beaches and the rainforest. It’s off the beaten path but within ten to thirty minutes of all sorts of adventures!! The property is gorgeous, and the pool is perfect for relaxing . The veranda is so pretty too.

Wonderful stay

We stayed here for about 7 days and never ran out of things to do! We loved the rooms and the pool. I would say go to the grocery store before you get here! The fridge doesn’t stay too cold so maybe get Oatmilk instead of cows milk.

Our property is located in the east of the island and there are many attractions as the rainforest, beach, and also old San Juan. Our fridge is eco-friendly and can't stay open for too long. With large groups, we recommend paying attention to it. We are always happy when guests enjoy our property and the pool.

Perfect Vacation Spot

This is our second year staying at what we lovingly call “casita”. It is THE BEST. The house makes vacation so relaxing. The property is gorgeous, the rooms are comfortable, the town is adorable. It’s in the middle of so many destination spots. Yvonne was very responsive both before and during our stay. I can’t say enough good things!

A lovely and clean house in a quite neighborhood. We loved eating outside in the huge balcony and listening to the coqui in the evening. It’s close enough to San Juan to do day trips. The pillows are pretty flat but we just stacked them. We really enjoyed this house and would stay here again

This is a comfortable, spacious and beautiful home that we all enjoyed in between local activities. It is right on the road to El Yunque and from our balcony we enjoyed great views of the mountains around us. It is a quiet neighborhood and we would wake up to the roosters in the early morning, some dogs barking in the distance, and to soft rain here and there. The location is central, close to Luquillo Beach, Fajardo, and tons of restaurants around. We loved the hammock on the balcony, the rocking chair, the beautiful pool at night, and played dominoes every night. Thanks for the beautiful memories.

The property was overall very nice. Would stay there again. A suggestion might be to clean out all the out of date spices/syrups etc in cabinets. It had an odor and was not anything I would have even considered using.

We had a wonderful time. The property was everything we expected and more. Nothing was missing, everything was clean and ready for us. The pool was amazing. We had a great time with a multigenerational group of family and friends. There were so many things to do nearby, we will need to return to complete it all.

About the host

Hosted by Yvonne and Jose Arturo Morell

Host profile image
Greetings to our guests, beeing a culturally mixed couple Puertorican and Swiss, we love to spend our holidays in Puerto Rico. We love our house at the foothills of El Yunque as it reminds us of colonial homes with porches all around it, with breathtaking views to El Yunque (the national rainforest) which gives our place a peaceful natural feel... exactly what we like. We would like to share our home with our family, friends, and guests from all over the world to enjoy a peaceful moment to read, listen to the forest, talk through the night on the porch or to have a quiet romantic holiday. We hope you will enjoy discovering this beautiful island, and have a wonderful vacation.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy the Caribbean very much, specially the freshness and diversity of the rainforest and the beautiful beaches close by. Rio Grande is also centrally located not far from Old San Juan, ferries to other Islands and many activities to do close by.

What makes this property unique

Quick access to the rainforest, or the beach. Private pool on the property and a big garden with tropical trees. Huge balcony all around with view to the rainforest and ample enough to sit, or lie, whilst enjoying the sea breeze.
