Humacao Vacation Rental house

Our family of 5 had a wonderful vacation in Puerto Rico & was very happy with our "home away from home". We planned a last minute vacation & the Rojas family was extremely easy to work with in arranging logistics for getting keys, etc. They continued to be responsive during our stay & quickly returned our security deposit when they received the keys back.
The house has the most incredible porch & view. It has gates, so would be safe if you are traveling with children. You can hear the waves & enjoy your almost private beach. We were there in early August & literally usually had the beach to ourselves as far as you could see in either direction.
I noticed some of the negative comments about the condition of the house. It is a beach house (read it doesn't have top of the line finishes & woodwork) But it is a clean, well-built solid structure & very comfortable. We used citronella candles at dusk which kept the mosquitoes at bay without a problem. The bedroom ACs work great. We didn't miss a stove (there is a outdoor grill & full-size cook top & microwave). We had plenty of awesome beach towels & bath towels as well as beach chairs, boogie boards, tons of toys for the kiddos. We did laundry there on-site.
One item we really enjoyed was the Kayaks. My husband & son-in-law were adventurous & took the Kayaks to Monkey Island. Very cool to have your own Kayaks!
We took a snorkel trip (worth the money!) out of Fajardo, as well as visited Seven Seas beach & Laquillo. Both were beautiful. We spent a day visiting Old San Juan & especially loved the forts. I am disappointed we didn't do make the bio bay trip at night or the Rain Forest (we actually started out for the Rain Forest, but my 11 year old got car sick on the curvy roads). Our daughter & son-in-law visited the nearby resort for gambling. We enjoyed dinners out in the small village & the Rojas family had left us an information book with restaurants & places to go. The pizza place (you can walk to it) had great pizza & the sea food in the village was awesome. We enjoyed trying foods that we don't normally eat & found it delicious.
The house is located in a small village that is filled with locals. We loved the non-tourist mentality & everyone was friendly. The precious neighbor bought us fresh mangos & limes. We used the Mangos with the Rojas recipe for Daiquiris (yummy) & had fresh limes for our cervezas. Like I said, I wish we were still there!

The property is well maintained and secured. The backyard, front of the property and upstairs veranda are also secured and/or fenced which is an advantage if you are traveling with small children. The owner was prompt to respond to any inquiries and even sent the property manager to check on us during our stay. The house easily accommodated our party of 6 adults and two kids leaving plenty of room to roam. The air conditioned rooms were a plus as well as the market, bakery and other eateries within walking distance. Check out "Pescao and Salsa" a seafood restaurant within walking distance. Great food and service. The house is equipped with kayaks, boogie board, plenty of beach towels and chairs and having a washer and dryer was an added bonus since we stayed 11 days. The area is residential not touristy; however, the locals embraced us as if they had always known us. Must see attractions such as the Bioluminescent Bay are within close driving distance as are other beautiful beaches. Seven Seas (my favorite) and Palmas Del Mar are worth visiting. Too much to see, not enough time...Whether a family vacation or simply R & R, I'd consider this property.

We very much enjoyed our week stay in April 2009. Jose was always quick to answer questions and give information about places to go. We were at the end of a cul de sac, so did not have to worry about traffic or large crowds. The beach was lovely. We snorkeled and kayaked every day, and even kayaked to Monkey Island, which was a treat. There were enough towels and beach towels for our group of nine. The deck view is gorgeous. I could have sat all day and just enjoyed the waves, sun, and palm trees. We were very close to grocery stores, Walmart, fand fast food, so never lacked for anything. We grilled on the barbecue grill and it was nice to pack light and wash clothes while there. We took advantage of the pizza place and quick mart as well. It was nice to be away from the tourists. We were only 30 minutes from Fajardo, so took a snorkeling excursion with Salty Dog-highly recommend for the family! Also went to the rain forest and Old San Juan. Driving was easy because we were only a few minutes from all the main highways. Thank you for a memorable vacation! We were not disappointed!
