About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Garden Hideaway- nestled between Rainforest and the Beach surrounded in nature

Welcome to our beautiful Garden getaway, located as the lower unit of a two unit house, with private parking and private entrance in the front of the house. Walk into your open air large kitchen, cook on the grill OR the stove. Grab your chilled bottle of wine from the wine fridge and go relax on the couch swing. Let the forest sounds lull you into a blissful vacation trance.

This property is in a private neighborhood that is close to the rainforest (about 10 min away) AND the Beach (about 10 min away). It is also less than an hour to drive to San Juan. *We do recommend having a car at this location for travel freedom. This property is the lower level of a two story home. The upstairs is also a vacation rental (Happy Hour Hideaway), that has a separate entrance and parking area. It is possible you will hear or meet other guests during your stay.

Both bedrooms are inside with their own lock-able door. Inside the bedrooms is a large King size bed, Air Conditioning and a TV. We recommend you keep the doors closed as this is a tropical island and you are at the foot of the rain forest and there are mosquitos and other insects. The house does receive pest maintenance but being this space is open air it is important to keep sleeping spaces as pest free as possible by closing the doors.

There are two bathrooms, both with a spa like shower. There is use of laundry on the back patio of the house. This is the area shared with other guests, along with the Large side yard next to the house, where you can find, coconuts and parcha (passion fruit) and Avocados when in season. The living room is equipped with its own television, and comfortable furniture and a large Porch Swing perfect for napping on.

Enjoy the sounds of the rain forest, like the Coqui and different birds and lizards, *don't be surprised if an iguana traipse through the yard. There are also many free roaming chickens and roosters as well as the neighbors own flocks. There are also some sweet neighborhood cats roaming about occasionally. The downstairs is fenced in so it is rare they come into the space.

*The upstairs f the house is a separate unit rented by other travelers

Mary- the rental manager- lives on island and is available for questions should you need her.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Amazing!!

My 17 year old daughter and I stayed here for 3 nights and did not want to leave! The outdoor space is beautiful and the bedrooms are better in person then the pictures. There were beach chairs and a cooler to use which was so nice when going to the beach (less than 10 minutes away). There is so much in the area but the neighborhood is nice and quiet and feels remote. We will definitely be back!!

We had a great time at the hideaway garden. The accommodations were quite comfortable and we almost finished the puzzle! It was a little buggy after the rain but bug spray and insect repellent were provided.

Great stay!

Such a unique property! I wish our stay here could have been longer. The pics are mostly accurate; the only difference would be that the kitchen is not as new looking as the pics. The beds & baths were great, very comfy and cold a/c. This place was the only place we stayed that you could drink the tap water!My only warning to other renters - one night we went for a walk around the neighborhood (its gated and overall very nice). Going up the hill a dog came racing down at us, barking & clearly in attack mode. The owner eventually came out saying he didnt bite, but it was pretty scary at the time. I dont want that to sway your reason to book, but just be aware!!

Best of Both Worlds!

We had such a wonderful stay in Luquillo! The property was perfect, in a quiet neighborhood but close to all the action. We LOVED the outdoor kitchen/living area. I was initially nervous about mosquitos, but they were not an issue. We were able to explore the rainforest and go to the beach during our four day stay - both are equally as close. There are plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby.Mary was a great host, very responsive and helpful. We cannot wait to return to lovely Luquillo!

Pretty good bang for the buck

The rental in a comfortable and quiet access controlled community that is conveniently near the beach and national forest. Great for a family get away. The open area for the kitchen, dining and entertaining is unique and comfortable. I highly recommend contacting the property manager with any questions you have. They are really nice people and were very helpful during our stay. Some really nice surprises came with the stay that were enjoyed by the whole family.

Nature lovers dream

LOVED this place! We only had a reservation for two nights but wished we had spent our whole stay in Puerto Rico here. We love nature and the open living space was incredible. Each evening was spent swinging on the living room swing listening to nature singing to us! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. And it was conveniently located to the rainforest and wonderful beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Will definitely book again when we return to Puerto Rico!

Glamping

If you think of this place as glamping it’s great. If you expect things to work or not have to sweep the floor for millipedes constantly you will be disappointed. Washer dryer and stove did not work. Dish Washer feel forward on me. Slipped on cement ramp and needed stiches. Puddles In Kitchen and first bedroom daily. We bought our own yard spray and used daily and bug rings were not included. Water filter expired. No tv channels work Main bedroom is great, bed great pillows felt 12 yrs old. I like the no walls thing and do not mind occasional cockroaches but the millipedes were a bit much. Need a push broom so you do not squish them. The stools fabric flaking off so we quickly learned to sit on towels on them, and spray the coushions first thing in the am as they attract mosquitos Lots of potential Needs some work

Amazing location, gracious hosts!!

The location of this property is perfect, at the foot of El Yunque rainforest and about 10 minutes from Laquillo Beach. The home is sparkling clean and abundantly furnished for a beach vacation with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and a even a cooler for your use. The hosts are extremely thoughtful and responsive. They have a welcome book with recommendations for local food and activities. You will have to deal with mosquitos, but that is the scenario anywhere in PR. At this location, the considerate hosts provide plenty of citronella and insect repellent. The landscape of the property is stunning. I 100% recommend this location for your stay, I can't wait to return!
