Tropical Paradise

I don't know where to start with a review of this home. Words like breathtaking and spectacular come to mind but don't seem to do it justice. My daughter and I stayed for one week in Nov for some much needed rest and relaxation. The problem was there are so many things to do in the area we found it difficult to stay put.
The home is exactly as advertised; clean, private, located within easy reach of just about anything. It's actually simple to walk to Indian Cave along the beach although there is some climbing involved so it may not be suitable for small children. There is a ladder attached to the cave wall you need to use to climb down. We chose to climb out through a crevasse in the rock; Ridiculous I know but we sort of felt like Bear Grylls.
Ruben is a very kind, generous and accommodating host. His attention to detail and desire to make your stay completely stress free are evident throughout the home and property.
The property...wow!! Absolutely gorgeous!! Lush vegetation, a private pool and the ocean right out the gate. During the week we had the beach practically to ourselves, on the weekends the local surfers came out and put on a show for us.
We've been back for two days and I've recommended this property to at least six people. I only hope it's available for our next vacation! If you choose to stay here, I can't imagine how you could possibly be disappointed in any way.
Enjoy!!

What you see in the Home Away photos is what you get. Location, comfort, and cleanliness of the this house was beyond expectations. For us it was the perfect location. It was well-stocked and well-equipped with just about everything we could think of.

Arecibo has quite a few attractions and we saw each and everyone of them. There are also some attractions for the family on the way to San Juan like the Horse Show in Vega Baja and the Science Park in Bayamon. You must also stop at the Big Outlets in Barcelonetta.

Ruben, the attention to detail you have put into the house to make your guests' stay enjoyable did not go unnoticed. It was very roomy and the proximity to the beach is to die for.
We could have easily stayed at this house for our entire visit! Great time, great host, fabulous vacation! I recommend to anyone who's visited before or going for their first time.

Thank you

This was our first time renting. We were a little intimidated by the fact that we had to rent a car and drive to a place we have never been to. We wanted a real tropical adventure away from the crowds and we went away with it.

I must say it was much better, comfortable, and less expensive than staying at a hotel.

What a wonderful place!

We loved the sounds and scents of the ocean.

From day one on our main intent was to relax , but to spend some time exploring Puerto Rico.

The home is spacious and yet it has a warm cozy feeling. The unique layout made the house look even more private and comfortable. It is fully equipped with lots of towels and outdoor furniture to relax on. The wrap around porch was an ideal place to hang out in the evening and to watch the sunset. The backyard makes it an ideal getaway home for retreats, particularly for women. I would highly recommend it.

We were grateful to Reuben for the accommodations. He was always on hand to answer questions.
We were very fortunate to find this home away from home.

Our goal was to find a house out of San Juan, right on the oceanfront, but not too isolated. This location was perfect for us. We were right on the beachfront, near nice restaurants and a short driving distance from all sorts of sights. It was a quick 45 minute drive into San Juan with various attractions on the way. The house was perfect for our family of four.
I would also like to add something about this property. The house itself is an attraction. The modern decoration is awesome. We were pleased with the hi-end appliances, the lighted pool with the waterfall, an almost private beach, the beautiful garden, and most of all with the big patio with a hammock and the table to eat al fresco. It was our personal hideaway.
I am going to recommend this house without hesitation.
To the owner: You have very good taste. Thanks.

I stayed here with my husband and our two children. The house,pool and terraces are nothing short of amazing. The beach is so quiet you would think it is private. The house itself is wonderful ; colorful and comfortable too. The owner of this house is thoughtful and very gracious. Only drawbacks here were that our time went by sooo fast,and we were all very sad to leave. If you need to revitalize,rest,or just enjoy the sun and sea ... THIS IS THE PLACE !

My wife and I rented this home for our honeymoon, and there is no way we could ever explain how wonderful it was! The house is so unique that you feel it is your own. It helped us escape the tourist feeling and we breathed a sigh of relief every time we came through the gates. Everything is high-tech and top-notch. The appliances we luxury. The lighted pool was so refreshing at night. We ate breakfast on the porch every morning and watched all sorts of birds and wildlife.
The beachfront was unbelievable. You feel like your in a movie set and there is a great mix of cliff's and sand beach. We have unbelievable pictures that no one can believe it was our backyard. We saw people on the beach twice the entire seven days we were there. You feel completely safe.
The town and surroundings are terrific. The roadside is so unique. We were 5 minutes from one of the best restaurants we have ever eaten at, Saltire, right on the ocean surf. 15 minutes from Arecibo which is very advanced, less than an hour from San Juan, and 20 minutes from one of the most incredible mountain ranges in the world! Yet you are in a very pleasent, charming village-like setting where the locals are the kindest you can find.
We will continue to return for the years to come, and can never repay for how wonderful of a start it was to our married lives. Thank you to Ruben, a wonderful house owner who is more than kind and so willing to help. A definite yes if you want peace, accessibility, comfort, luxury, and beauty. We can't wait to get back!

I can't say one bad thing about our experience. House was very clean. It had everything we needed. Pool was great. Outside area was amazing. Beach is very private. I had my wife and two daughters and felt very safe. It was what we wanted, not the same tourist experience. The locals were freindly, don't be afraid to stop at any roadside stand. The landscaping was well maintained. The owner was very available to help or answer questions. If you truly want to get away and find peace. This is it!
