Photos and Description of the Manati vacation apartment rental
Apartment with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, fully equiped kitchen, sleeps 6

El Faro Ocean Front Apartment is located at Mar Chiquita Beach in Manatí, on the north coast, 40 minutes west of San Juan’s (SJU) Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport.

Our apartment sits on a mountain over 100 feet above sea level where you can enjoy the cool ocean breezes within footsteps of white sandy beaches.

The unit has two ample bedrooms, one bathroom, comfortable open floor plan kitchen and living room with front and rear balconies, perfect for families.

Master bedroom with jaccuzi next to private balcony perfect for relaxing while enjoying the ocean view and breeze.

Relax and enjoy Mar Chiquita and its adjoining secluded beaches with a warm 80°F degrees of clear water, just within a short two minute walk from the apartment.

Family atmosphere away from tourist crowds.

The apartment is conveniently located for day tours so you can taste the local folklore.

More information on the “Further Details” tab.

Must Do Activities: Number One-do it! Spend time at the beach and relax, swim, surf, fish........all within steps from the apartment.

You could walk for hours or miles of rock climbing along the ocean.....and visit secluded beaches....sunbath....or just Relax.

Out On The Island!!!!: Number Two-don't miss it! Go to El Viejo San Juan (the old city). Figure a full day and if you are hungry a bit of the evening will help and you will miss the rush hour traffic and be ready for a culinary pleasure. This 500 year old walled city was colonized 125 years before the Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts! Once there go to El Morro and San Cristobal Fortresses, El Morro, built at the harbor entrance was last in service during the Second World War. Although it never saw action, it was protecting against German submarines. Walk the cobblestone streets, shop, visit galleries, and appreciate the colonial architecture. While there make a point to see the cathedral, the Puerta de San Juan (the San Juan gate), the Hotel El Convento, Casa Blanca (the White House) built for governor Ponce de Leon in the early 1500’s, La Fortaleza, the longest serving residence still in use by a “head of state”.

More to do....: Well you saw the old city, now let’s do more fun stuff! For the active person and family, take day long trips to the mountain towns of Utuado and Lares. In Utuado you can go to Dos Bocas Lake and hop on a ferry boat that will take you to restaurants across the lake to where you will taste the most exquisite local cuisine. Also in Utuado visit the Caguana Ceremonial Park ruins of the pre-colombian Taino Indians. Finally schedule an appointment to El Batey Zip Line (near the ceremonial park). On a day head towards route 129 and visit the Arecibo Ionspheric Radio Telescope and the town of Lares where a one day insurrection against Spain occurred in 1869.

Mar Chiquita Beach (or the little sea) is one of the wonders of Puerto Rico, a half-moon-shaped piece of ocean that cuts through an opening on a stretch of rocks that separates the ocean from land. You can walk on the rocks (very carefully!) to do some shore fishing or just to enjoy the ocean. Take your time to sun bathe and walk the sandy beaches, take a dip in the ocean for a swim, or surf, it’s all yours to enjoy! Located in the north central part of Puerto Rico, Manati offers a great location for day trips. There are some “must do” sightseeing and others would be your preference of activities.

Apartment close to Los Tubos

5 of 5
Submitted: January 7, 2010 Stayed: December 2009
This is a very nice apartment close to two very nice beaches, MAr Chiquita to go with your kids, snorkeling maybe or boogie-boarding, and Los Tubos, great for expert surfers or boogie-boards.
The apartment has everything you need, including washing machine and dryer, cooking tools, air conditioning... Our apartment on the 1st floor had no view, but the second floor has an ocean view. You will need a car for shopping and going out, but you will sleep peacefully
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Girls Getaway, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Thank you! We are glad your family enjoyed your stay. We are planing to do a BBQ area on the roof where you will have a great ocean view and enjoy a nice breeze. Hopefully, we will do it in the fall. We hope to see you again!

Great Vacation Apartment

5 of 5
Submitted: May 7, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Cuca & Arturo were great hosts. They helped out so much over the phone. We requested more photos of the property. We also asked for a blowdryer when we got there. All requests were met completly. The apartment was clean, safe & relaxing. The property is well maintained and comfortable. Make sure to leave all windows and doors closed, as there are a lot of mysquitos outside. The only thing is that the property is far from Action. San Juan is about 40 minutes away. We did have to drive far to get to attractions. However, it is worth the price and comfort. Playa mar chiquita is right down the street, which everyone will enjoy. What a beautiful trip I will always remember in my dreams. Thank you Arturo and Cuca for the wonderful and vaule you provide.
Owner's Response: Thank you, John. We do our best to help our guests, and are glad that you enjoyed your vacation.

A TOTAL PARADISE!!!

Greetings Cuca & Arturo, Once again I want to thank you for such a pleasant stay. Your property is truely amazing. Location, surroundings, the cleanliness in the apartment. The warmth in wich you received us was just the touch to make us feel at home. Thank you. The pictures are very true to what the place looks like. Loved how clean the apartment was including the white bathroom =}. The apartment is very couzy and roomy. Just the right amount of space without missing out on anything. The morning view from the 2nd flr unit was just amazing! The breeze at nite was very pleasant. I do recommend El Faro to everyone and indeed I would go again. As a matter of fact, I am planning already on my next stay. looking forward too continue making reservations with El Faro!! Thank you Cuca & Arturo =} God Bless

A Perfect getaway from crowds, amazing location

5 of 5
Submitted: April 16, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
We came, we saw, we got hooked. It's exactly 40mins from airport, get a rental car, and basically in 40mins you're away from traffic, crowds, noise - you're en paraiso! If you think the pictures here are beautiful - let me tell you, they don't even come close to what you'd be seeing in person - GORGEOUS beaches within 3-5mins walking distance, amazing volcanic rocks that waves crash upon, smell of the ocean, rhythmic humming of Atlantic... And most importantly for us - NEVER CROWDED - we got little kids, so were napping during peak sun hours 2pm-4pm, but during other hours = private beach feel in all public places surrounding... Just get there, you'll see!
Small boutique bars/restaurants around with ethnic flavors, shopping centers for food, clothing and restaurants ~5-10mins drive away.

Apartment is cosy, simple, very safe, you get what you need, including internet to check what's around, what else you may get to sightsee - comfortable beds, fridge, stove n microwave and the rest is what we came for - palms, sand, ocean... Perfect vacation.

This place is convenient to everywhere as Puerto Rico isn't a huge place - you can do serious places of interest hopping from this both amazing and strategically sound location. We lucked out to meet owners as well - now we know why this place is so homey - wonderful people made it happen! ;)

We're coming back for more next time we can steal TIME to get there! :]
Owner's Response: You have made the best descrition, simple, clean with the necessary amenities and GREAT nearby beaches and location. It was great that we coincided and got to meet you and your family.
