Casa Grote Del Mar – Modern Beachfront Home with Charm & Soul
Casa Grote Del Mar – Oceanfront Paradise in Luquillo
Welcome to Casa Grote Del Mar, your oceanfront escape in vibrant Luquillo, Puerto Rico. Just 17 steps from the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea, this fully remodeled 2,600 sq. ft. home blends the charm of a 1950s art-deco gem with all the modern comforts you’d expect from a home designed today.
The Space
This is not just a vacation rental—it’s a place to live the Puerto Rican dream. • Four Bedrooms & Two Baths – Comfortably sleeps families and groups. • Spacious master with king bed & walk-in closet • Kids’ bedroom with fun beach-themed bunk bed (twin over full) • Queen + daybed guest room with sunrise views over the ocean • Additional queen bedroom, beautifully styled • Inviting Living Spaces • Sun-filled dining room flowing into a stylish family room with wet bar • Fully equipped modern kitchen with everything you need for a gourmet meal • Beautifully landscaped courtyard with native plants • Covered back deck and spacious oceanfront porch where you’ll spend hours watching the waves roll in
Every piece of furniture and fixture is brand new—chosen by a professional designer who gave this art-deco beauty a fresh, modern twist.
Steps from the Sea
Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the front porch as waves crash at your feet. Walk inside for a refreshment, then right back to your beach chair in the shade. Snorkel, swim, or simply relax—it’s all right there. • Snorkeling gear provided for the coral reef just offshore • Spearfishing at dusk when the bigger fish roll in • Nesting sea turtles seasonally share our beach—magical if you’re lucky enough to witness it
Adventure Around Every Corner
Luquillo is one of Puerto Rico’s most authentic and exciting beach towns—everything you need is within walking distance: • Downtown Luquillo (3 blocks): container park “El Patio,” 12+ restaurants, lively bars, coffee shops, even local barbers & salons • La Pared surf beach (2 blocks): a top surf spot with a fantastic surf school for all levels • Costa Azul Beach Point: sunrise every morning, Pilates at 7am, and one of the only east-coast sunset views on the island
And if you’re ready to explore beyond town: • El Yunque Rainforest – the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Park system (10 minutes away) • Fajardo – sailing ports to Vieques & Culebra, bioluminescent bay tours (20 minutes away) • Old San Juan – history, culture, dining, and shopping (45 minutes away) • Luquillo Kiosks – iconic food stalls for a true Puerto Rican experience
What Makes Casa Grote Del Mar Special
This is not a polished resort with swim-up bars and poolside umbrellas. This is Puerto Rico, the real deal. Here, you’ll feel the rhythm of local life—whether it’s the sound of waves crashing at night or a tricked-out Toyota Celica cruising by with Bad Bunny on the speakers.
If you want an authentic Caribbean experience with the comforts of home, this is your place. Grocery stores, restaurants, and modern conveniences are nearby, but the heartbeat of Puerto Rican culture is right outside your door.
We’re also more than happy to connect you with our wonderful local friends so you feel like a welcome guest, not just a tourist.
Location • 30 minutes from San Juan Airport • Located in Luquillo, the most exciting up-and-coming beach town on the island
