Are you looking For something different? Something laid back, Ummmm!

This is a stylish home in a tranquil neighborhood firmly ensconced in a lush tropical setting. The neighborhood is the site of a former sugar plantation, a central, the likes of which were once ubiquitous in Puerto Rico. As such, the land is gentle rolling hills with lavish greenery throughout. Everywhere you look there a palm trees, ferns, framboyán trees, bougainvilleas and rolling lawns, all very well maintained. There is also a community recreation center with a gym, a swimming pool and tennis courts. And there is a good hiking trail about a couple of miles long that takes you by a graceful lake.

The neighborhood is now a gated community located away from the hectic freeways of nearby Caguas and Gurabo, with the house located at the end of a street on a cul de sac. At night the only commotion is that of the tiny Coqui frog, whose croak is a high–pitched whistling sound. If you’re not familiar with it you’ll think someone is whistling at you to get your attention.

As for the house itself, Helen has a first class place with a full modern kitchen, a large living area, large bedrooms and a wonderfully lazy veranda that surrounds the house on three sides. Quite often I would have rather stayed sitting on the veranda with my Nook in hand, reading, than getting in the car and driving around the island. In fact, when it came time to leave I would have rather stayed.

We have a lot of family there, so there was a lot for us to do. If you don’t have people there, then you’ll have to drive to see the major sights. Nevertheless, if you want to stay in a relaxing, peaceful place away from the hustle of tourists, this is it.

The town Caguas is about three miles away. There is a good ice cream parlor on the town square called Rex Cream. I love their coconut ice cream. There are also a couple of good restaurants: Marcelo and Raices. The service at Raices is sometimes spotty, but worth the try. San Juan is about fifteen.

When we go back, we know where we’ll be staying. No more lodging in a hotel or staying with family.

This was my first real vacation , i really enjoyed San Juan and this place is gorgeous !
I wish i had a home like this one. we each had our own bedroom with a bathroom. the place was clean and well kept. the owner is very nice, it has a patio on the side of the house, its quiet well...except for the mini lizards that live there and Spanish frogs (i forgot what they are called...lol) the community is gated. the only downside was the pool, we didn't realized it wasn't private and there wasn't a computer in the house,

other than that...if and when i visit again...i will definitely rent this house....we had an awesome time..the food...the people....um...lovely memories for ever!..if your going to rent a place...this house should be it.
We rented a car so we were able to go anywhere we wanted...you definitely need a car to get around...it was worth it .

veronica from New York but reside in Pennsylvania.

Hello Helen, hope all is well. Nonetheless, the house exceeded our expectations it was one of the most functioning and beautiful house we stood in thus far. We were a party of 5 & all fitted very comfortably, we at times got a little loss in there lol. When leaving the sanctuary to your right there is a delicious plaza with the best breakfast/coffee/desserts. Make sure to visit the Luquillo Beach. But the place was a surprising delight, secured premises and quite. Thank you so much Helen for all of your help and especially for your big home. Also if you want to use the tennis court or basketball court you must supply your own ball and racket. Also you must have a vehicle. Hopefully I will see you soon Helen, Adios.
