Stay amongst the locals.
We absolutely love this place! Right on the beach and plenty of room for everyone. Property manager was attentive to our needs and even brought us fresh mango’s from his yard. If ever we find our way back, we’re definitely going stay here again!

Big House at Affordable Rate
Our family of 12 had great time in PR and the home served us well. We were able to cook breakfast each morning and cook a few dinners together. The rooms all had AC and were large enough to be comfortable for each couple. With one bedroom on the ground floor it was perfect for our elderly grandmother. Everything was old and a bit worn but serviceable, and when considering the price and the location on the beach we were grateful to have found this home. I would say the bed linens could use updating and the pictures on this website should be updated to reflect what the current conditions are. That being said, it would not have changed our decision to stay there but it would have reduced some of the sour feelings for some family members. Overall the home helped us have a great time, create wonderful memories and we would consider returning.

Great winter getaway
While it is true that the house could use some freshening up, it checked all of our boxes: enough beds, baths, kitchen supplies, indoor and outdoor seating, and working AC units….and a to die for view. We truly enjoyed our stay

Not good
The property manager is the ONLY good thing about this place. He was kind and helpful. Thank you Tato! Other than that this place is NOT what is listed as. When we got there there was pubic hair all over each bathroom toilets, shower, sink, etc. My family and I had to go to the store to grab cleaning supplies to clean the whole house. Disgusting! The overall conditions of the house are terrible, nothing like the pictures online. False advertisements at its best! The house looks like not a penny has been put into it for years and years. Its a shame because there is so much potential in this house. This is a classic case of an owner that is not from PR, doesn't care about the property and only cares about getting paid. The kitchen appliances are terrible, the pool table needs to be thrown out, the toilets needs to be replaced, the house needs to be painted, windows needs to be cleaned, and much more. Overall is a nice place to spend time with family. But be aware you will be dealing with filth, insects, etc. Again, thank you Tato (Property Manager) for being nice, helpful and responsive.

Needs
I want to start by saying that the house is beautiful and has great potential. but it needs many updates, #1 the profile picture is not, the second floor is completely open, #2 housekeeping needs better cleaning, #3 the bedding and bath towels deteriorated and poor condition, we had to go to walmart to buy #4 the pool table in poor condition. And keep in mind that if you arrive after 3: pm check in they want to charge you a fee too. Despite the inconveniences we enjoyed our stay, it is a quiet neighborhood and accessible to many places.

Rundown party house - good for big groups at budget price - needs many upgrades & deep cleaning
We rented this property to host family visiting PR. We had 12 people and wanted everyone to be together. The house is big and on the beach, as advertised. It is suited for large groups that want to be together, have common space to hang out, want a beautiful location, want a low price, and don't care much about cleanliness or quality of the facilities (see below). The caretaker, Tato, was very nice and helpful. The owners were also responsive via email and provided a useful welcome package. The house has some nice amenities like decent kitchen facilities and balconies. It has useful things like a washer & dryer, an extra fridge, beach towels and a large dining table. Yet as other reviews have mentioned, there are leaking faucets, toilets that don’t flush well, a problem with the dishwasher, many light bulbs that don't work, lamps without shades, non-functional fans, and old rusty beach chairs. We could only find 7 forks, in a house that sleeps 14. There are also bigger things beyond the scope of maintenance, like junky furniture (some of it is literally falling apart and stained and looks like it was found on the street), windows and doors let in lots of water when it rains, a pool table that was falling apart and a ping pong table that was completely usable – these amenities were not as advertised. There was black mold in the air conditioners, blood on a shower curtain, and several fire extinguishers that read "empty" – serious health/safety hazards indicating that a thorough deep cleaning is required. Note: this house is not great for elderly people - it has steep, narrow stairs and lacks railings in a few places. Some of the host's responses to previous reviews commented on the location in PR and on the beach as explanations for many of the problems. I would disagree. I live nearby in Luquillo and my house is subject to similar conditions, yet I don't have black mold or furniture that is broken and nasty, or useless fire extinguishers because I care enough to fix those problems. I would argue that you can offer a place that is fun and affordable and also has decent quality and cleanliness – the two are not mutually exclusive. The bottom line is that the owners have not invested recently in making the house feel "like home" instead of a rundown party house. I would only recommend it to large groups on a budget without elderly people, and who don't care about the cleanliness issues. For others, best to look elsewhere.

Great location on the beach. The local property manager, Tato, was outstanding and we can’t say enough positive things about him. The property is advertised as having a pool table, hot tub and ping pong table but they were in need of repair. The air conditioner units were loud and kept some family members awake. The property is right on the beach but we found only 4 rusted camp chairs; there were 11 members in our group. There is deferred maintenance; the toilet in the main bedroom leaked and and drains were slow to empty in the showers. The cleaning fee charged was not reflected in the way in which we found the house upon arrival. If investments were made to rectify these issues, we would be open to renting again.

Caretaker is best thing about this property
The property caretaker, Tato was awesome, owners not so much. It’s obvious the caretaker does all he can to manage this very run down house. The owners clearly haven’t spent any money on this place in years. So many things broken down. Tato had to fix so many things while we were there, including the main AC unit which stopped working several times. It clearly needs to be replaced. The jetted tub in the master never worked at all and kept turning on by itself making noise that Tato had to come fix. The furniture is so old that some of it smells bad. The only outdoor furniture are some beat up folding chairs. The owners sent me the wrong welcome package so I couldn’t even reach Tato initially. It’s obvious the owners care very little about this property. Owners are lucky to have Tato because without him, I can’t imagine this property getting rented because reviews would be horrible without him.
