Vacation in Paradise. If you love the outdoors this is the place for you. The property is located in Cala de Hucares at the foot of the Caribbean Rain Forest ( El Yunque). This beautiful penthouse unit has 3 spacious bedrooms. Our third floor unit ( walk up) has a balcony with a terrace above that has a great view of the Caribbean. The complex is beachfront, has outdoor pool, tennis court, basketball court, playground and has 24 hour security. It is in a quaint fishing village of Playa Hucares which is in the town of Naguabo and has local restaurants that serve fresh seafood and local cuisine. It feels like paradise with the conveniences of home. Go fishing, golfing, swimming, kayaking, horseback riding, hiking, or take a ferry from Fajardo (10-15 minute drive) to one of two islands (Vieques, Culebra) and spend the day snorkeling, scuba diving or sunbathing. Visit the nearby casino or shop in the nearby malls, or just catch a movie. Don't forget to spend the day sightseeing or shopping in San Juan.

If you like nature trails spend the day hiking the rain forest (El Yunque). You will find water falls with swimming holes to refresh yourself.
There is a natural bio-tour reserve a few minutes south where you can kayak in brackish creeks which lead to the ocean. There you'll find many types of birds and iguanas in this Humacao Wildlife Refuge and don't forget to visit the Ceiba Forest which is just a few minutes north and see the mangroves and manatees.




The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone. Housekeeping is available on request.

We enjoyed our stay overall, though there were a few hits and misses that impacted our stay. Some of these were well outside the hosts' control, but as far as recommending the property the issues are still valid.Let's start with the pros. The property is nice and the beach is great. While there are no private beaches in PR, this was as close to a beach as once can get I think. The pool is nice as well. It has a nice little covered gazebo area with chairs and tables which makes it a nice place to sit and eat lunch. The water was quite cold during our visit but then again the air was quite warm.The unit itself is nice. The kitchen is well stocked and the unit is spacious with three bedrooms. The beds were comfortable TNow for the friction points...- The gate guards don't speak English for the most part. So be prepared to know your unit number in Spanish and a rudimentary sentence on why you're there in case they don't have your paperwork (they didn't have ours)- The unit is on the flight path for Roosevelt Roads. No one can control this. But every night we were woken up by F-35s and F-22s landing between 2am and 6am.- The AC in one of the bedrooms stopped working on our last day.- The tennis courts are closed and unavailable due to resurfacing.- It is on Hwy 3. You will hear every motorcycle blaring its music at midnight that drives by. And if it's a holiday, you will hear the loudest fireworks ever as only shutters, no windows.

Good restuarants, nice beaches within 20 min

My wife commented that the master bedroom bed was the most comfortable she had ever slept in. Nice new kitchen setup, nice complex with good pool. Had to deal with road noise, most people used ear plugs. The restuarants right down the street were great, reasonably priced, generous portions, awesome.

Very nice

Great area, beautiful quiet beach, good pool, great tennis or pickleball court, right next to 20 restaurants all reasonable priced, supermarket and town very close, and a good public beachs 25 m away. Its not a big touristy town. Street is a little loud but its Puerto Rico they don't have noise ordinances and appliances and cookware were a little worn besides that I'd come back..

Kasa de Kaye beautiful/relaxing place

Kasa de Kay offered a distinctive experience, providing all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. Located on the beachfront of Naguabo, Puerto Rico, it features a pool, tennis court, basketball hoop, and more. Its strategic proximity to El Malecon, El Yunque, and the beautiful east coast beaches of PR makes it an optimal choice. The owner was warm and knowledgeable, offering suggestions for my enjoyable first experience in Puerto Rico. I strongly recommend her three bedroom condo to anyone, and I express my gratitude for sharing her well-appointed and comfortable home.

We really enjoyed our stay. Place had everything we needed. The hosts were wonderful answering all our questions and were spot on for recommendations of where to eat! We would def stay there again!!! Our only issue was the pool, you can only reserve for an hour a day. If nobody reserved, then you can stay longer. When there was an issue, we went to the beautiful private beach on the property.

This was a great landing spot for our family. We loved having access to a small quiet beach and pool. And the location served us well for adventures to nearby beaches, el yunque, great local restaurants with fresh fish, vieques ferry, etc. the condo was well equipped and we appreciated having a balcony, an equipped kitchen, a w/d, and plenty of sleeping space for our family! Also so great to have beach chairs and towels.

Great Place

The property is well kept and spacious. At first we thought the configuration of the A/C units and fans was a little off, but after seeing how A/C is generally done across the island, we realized that it is up to par. I don't mean this as a bad thing; but just as a note to folks coming from the mainland that "island style" is a thing and you need to be open minded. The bedrooms were cold enough to be comfortable, but if the doors were all kept cold, the rest of the apartment could get a bit warm. Again, not uncomfortable, just different if you are expecting central air. The third floor location wasn't a problem, and the addition of the roof access was awesome. A great place to relax after a day of exploring or to watch the weather roll in over the ocean. The only downside to the location was the proximity to the road; traffic starts early and some of the trucks were pretty loud. If you are an early-riser or heavy sleeper, you won't mind much at all. As for the owners, Glenn and Dahlia were great. They reached out to us several times before our trip and had lots of excellent suggestions on activities, restaurants, and points of interest around the apartment. They were also extremely helpful in allowing us to extend our rental due to an unforeseen illness. I highly recommend renting from them.

Pros and Cons.... PLEASE READ!

We stayed here in cala de hucares on may 2021. Pros: -check in very easy - property maganer always a quick call or text away -Pool always clean and available -A/C rooms awesome always work very well -Yes is fully furnished no need to get anything just your groceries to cook if that's what you plan on doing. - it also has grills and things for the beach and pool wich is nice. Cons: -Apartment was dusty when we check in, like if not been clean for weeks. -left over stuff of pantry food in the small pantry, but they looked like they where outdated and never been threwn out. -I know P.R. is hot, but the livingroom, kitchen and dining area are an inferno of heat after 12 and on, there is no A/C in that area of the apartment. - We expirienced a power outage after our 1st week there and the manager was not able to find us a place to spend the night with 5 childrens, thank the Lord we had family and they help us stay with them for that night. Plus after we pass by the property that same night the security guard told us that is nothing new on Cala de hucares apartments that always happens once a month, so that for me is no good, for that reason we not going back. After all, the area is not bad, yes it's loud is not a quiet street so if you want something quite this is not for you, at night is loud and in the mornings the neighbors across street are always talking loud. Hopefuly all this helps you on your desition.
