Photos and Description of the Culebra vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-6)

Quiet, peaceful, and somewhat secluded, yet only a 3 minute drive to Zoni Beach and a 10 minute drive to town, our fully-equipped 2 bedroom (new queen beds and A/C in each bedroom) second floor flat is a wonderful retreat from the hustle of typical resort settings or noisy in-town locations. The large couch pictured in the living room reconfigures and fits together to make a double bed which is more comfortable than a convertable sofa bed.

Because of the unique isolation design with separate entrances and parking areas, you will soon forget that there is a similar unit on the first floor below you. We offer an open floor plan, high ceilings, a comfortable living room with wireless internet, and Sat flat panel TV, and wall to wall glass patio doors leading to a lanai/balcony with outdoor furniture with great ocean and mountain views on one acre. There are only a few houses in view, and virtually no noise.

The house is located in the exclusive Zoni Beach (eastern) side of the island, surrounded by thousands of acres of virgin countryside and hiking trails, with an ocean view. Nearby Zoni Beach is incredible... and uncrowded: many times during the week we are the only ones on a one mile long soft white sand beach with gentle trade winds swaying green coco palms, and crystal clear turquoise waters.

The snorkeling and diving on Culebra is some of the best in the Caribbean: colorful and pristine. Leatherback turtles nest on the beaches.

Try a day trip to Culebrita, or any other of the 10 smaller keys surrounding Culebra.

The isolation design of the building with separate entrances and parking locations for each of the units make it likely you will forget there is another unit below you.

You can also rent our Mitsubishi Montero mid sized 4x4 SUV for $55 per day (4 people or less) or $65 per day (5 people or more) ($100 deposit required on vehicle, credit cards only - no debit cards. For debit card use on lodging a $100 fully refundable damage deposit is required, to be charged 10 days prior to occupancy).

Our vehicle and house manager Rogelio (Row hay leo) Soto will pick you up and/or drop you off at the ferry or airport when you rent the Montero each day of your stay, and is available for consultation and in case of emergencies.

About Tom Lowell

My wife, son, and I live in Rogue Valley Oregon where I am involved in piano sales and service and also real estate construction. We love Culebra and visit there as often as we can, usually twice a year.

Tom Lowell purchased this house in 2010
Why Tom Lowell chose Culebra

After visiting Culebra on our wedding anniversary, we knew we wanted to return and live like locals. We found our place and then bulit a brand new elevated house on top of the hill. We use it as a second home and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this house unique

This property is secluded and quiet, surrounded by thousands of acres of virgin countryside with jeep trails that make good hiking trails. Zoni Beach is 3 minutes away by vehicle and very peaceful (uncrowded) and beautiful. We enjoy barbequing on the ocean view balcony in the evening and observing the brilliant stars one can see without the city lights!

What a wonderful time we had in Culebra! Everything in the house was as described; very clean, peaceful and comfortable. The 4x4 was an added bonus. The care taker of the property was very responsive, pleasant, and informative about the island and getting around town. Most days we had Zoni beach to ourselves. We also made the hike to Carlos Rosario and it was well worth it. We strongly recommend taking the snorkeling and kayak trip with Culebra Island Adventures. The guides are so nice and knowledgable, plus the scenery cannot be beat! Swimming with sea turtles was simply magical. The Owners were wonderful to work with and helpful in planning our trip. This was our 2nd trip to Puerto Rico and our 1st to Culebra. We love the Puerto Rican people, their culture and their kindness. Something that your just don't get in the Bahamas or Jamica. We are already planning another trip next year, this time with our children so we can share the magic of this beautiful, unspoiled very special island. If you have the opportunity to visit Culebra, we highly recommend renting this property for a vacation you will never forget.

Lucky us, the owner was present during part of our stay. He had information and help less available otherwise. And a nice family. But no need. The property is well maintained and cared for with improvements still underway. It is small and simple and all you really need to enjoy this beautiful island. Recommend this to others who like peace and quiet, value security and health. Not so great for night life unless you like scrabble. TV and Wifi were working too and more reliable than phones. Views are wonderful, especially the stars at night with no ambient light to spoil the view. Plenty of opportunity to do creative driving, but we have seen worse on Vieques.

This is a fantastic part of the island. Quiet and peaceful and each morning as we stepped onto the balcony the view of the ocean amidst the sunrise was spectacular. A mother pig and her babies wandered the yard along with a cow and a horse on other mornings. Walking to Zoni beach was an uphill adventure worth the ten minute trip. Having he car was a must to explore the remainder of this litle island and we spent many lazy afternoons at other beaches. The house is great and has all you would need. Really clean and the washing machine was an added bonus.

Stayed for one week as part of our honeymoon, the apartment had everything we needed as described and looks like the photos, we would definitely return. It was clean, some of the equipment (pans) could do with some care as the handles were loose and if we had a screw driver we would have fixed them! It had one of the best showers we experienced in PR - they vary a lot! Aircon worked well (if a little noisy). Best part for me was having breakfast and dinner on the balcony with the view. We didn't use the couch as a bed but I'm not sure how comfortable it would be as the springs were hard in some of the cushions. Be aware that this is one of 3 properties and there are 3 cars so you may not get the car as described on the advert, we had an old GMS with over 70,000 miles on the clock but it suited us as when you are just tripping to the beach you don't need anything more. Culebra is beautiful, Zoni beach is fabulous - make sure you take the chairs as if it is windy the sand can blow (there should be 2, we only found ours when the people below left so make sure you ask) - and the location is not far from the town once you get to know the route. We would definitely return, my husband fell in love with Culebra, I loved it for a vacation!

I recommend this property for anyone staying at Culebra! It has a luxury hotel feel for a fair price. The place is cozy, clean and has everything you will ever need. The A/C is a GodSend! It's really beautiful looking up the sky at night. It's also close to Zoni Beach. I recommend renting a car, trust me on this! we tried hiking to Zoni, but its probably something you want to do once : ) I guess if I could put a critsism it would be the property manager, Rogelio. He was not very "welcoming or warm." I think he can be intimidating to some. We think he is a good person, he got us what we need. But dont be surprised when you first meet him, he is a bit off. We think this is just his personality and he means well. The owner from the US Mainland was awesome and answered every question quickly. Again I highly recommend this property!

Owner's Response: Thanks for your review. I will try to help Rogelio with his bedside manner. Years of working as a bouncer doesn't help. He is responsible and means well. His wife is sick and can't help him with all his responsibilities. What he lacks in personality he more than makes up for with his plumbing and electrical skills!

I traveled to Puerto Rico with my partner and another couple. We were delighted to arrive in Culebra after some serious travel woes, and this vacation home instantly became our island sanctuary. It is beautiful, clean, well maintained and provided comfort. Nearby Zoni Beach is impeccable and easily one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever visited (and I live in Hawaii!). We enjoyed BBQ-ing at night and star gazing and the easy, quiet vibes of Culebra. What a treasure. I highly suggest a lunch at Zaco's Taco's too! We hope to return soon!

Tom's properties on the quiet island of Culebra were a great find. Tom helped us out by adjusting the schedule so we could stay there, so we ended up getting to experience both the Zoni Breezes and Zoni Retreat. Both places were very comfortable for four adults. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and the patio enjoying our morning coffee and star-gazing at night. Rogelio met us at the airport with the rental vehicle (wonderful perk!) and led us to this sweet place. Zoni Beach is a very short drive and we really enjoyed snorkeling there as well as Tamarindo, Carlos Rosarios, and several beaches. We even rented ocean kayaks from the Bike Shop in town and kayaked over to Louis Pena Cay to snorkel one day. Culebra is a nature lover's paradise. Not a lot of night-life, but great for rest, relaxation and exploring. We took the airplane from Isla Grande in San Juan and it was a beautiful, quick ride over. Lovely accomodations on a sweet, beautiful little island. Yes, I would go back!

Tom runs a very good operation from showing the condo online exactly how we found it - clean, comfortable, very well equipped, great views and always a breeze! We never needed the air conditioner. Renting a car from him made the trip possible for us since we got to the island very late due to a ferry not running as scheduled. It was not a problem since Rogelio Soto was right there at the ferry dock with our car to lead us to the condo. Rogelio was very kind and helpful, always available to answer our questions. Zoni Beach was our favorite beach so we liked being close by. We would rent Zoni Breezes Upper again without a doubt.

The Ocean View house was as good as advertised. Easy pick up from airport,
tour of town and ride to house. Vehicle provided was good for the adventurous
roads and made exploring a blast. The biggest decision of the day was what
beach to go to swim or snorkel. The whole island moves at a slow pace and
makes you forget about the outside world. The saddest part of the trip was having to leave. Hope to make a return trip.
