Private Pool*Full Solar*Secluded Rainforest Setting*1 Mile from PR3*20 From SJU
This large vacation house is situated at the edge of the El Yunque National Rainforest on 6+ acres of tropical rainforest jungle. Private gated access, on a small mountain just 1 mile from PR3. Large private patio and 10x20' salt water swimming pool constructed on the mountainside. THE POOL IS USED BY GUESTS OF RENTAL HOUSE ONLY, NOT SHARED WITH ANYONE ELSE.
This is not a cramped condo or apartment with many neighbors. You will be in a safe mountainside tropical jungle setting, in a large concrete house, with plenty of room to explore and enjoy!
The property is close to El Yunque National Forest, Luquillo (Monserrate) Beach and kiosks, Carabali Rainforest Park, Hacienda Siesta Allegre, and just 20 expressway miles from San Juan. The ferry terminal to Culebra & Vieques is 23 miles.
Bedrooms: NO BUNK BEDS! King bed in master suite with walk-in closet and separate bathroom with large shower. The second bedroom offers a comfortable queen, a futon, and twin mattress for a variety of sleeping options. A queen bed is in the third bedroom. Second Bathroom is at end of hallway, near bedrooms 2 and 3. Two Pack N Plays are available for traveling babies. A high chair is also available. The couch in living room contains a queen bed. Linens, pillows, and towels (including beach towels) are provided.
The house has accommodated many gatherings with friends and family sharing in the food preparation in the open kitchen with large island, with many guests gravitating to the large patio, or the open two stall garage in rainy weather.
Open floor plan and spacious rooms are located on one level, making it easy for elderly or toddlers to get around. No steps! Pool just off the patio has an iron security gate.
If you want to stay where you have all the amenities of home yet are near many attractions the island has to offer, reserve this home!
Ceiling fans and air conditioners in each bedroom and living room.
Full solar system ensures you won't have any power blackouts, which is a common occurrence on the island, while you are on vacation.
1,000 gallon water reservoir makes sure you will have a shower when you need it, regardless of the inconsistent utilities that occur frequently on the island. And yes, a hot shower!
Roku smart tvs in each bedroom, dvd player, assortment of movies, and wi-fi throughout.

This property is gorgeous! We took our 4 children between 3-12 and they all loved the scenery, the pool (which has a light for night swims) and the wild lizards around outside. The hosts Hector and Kim were responsive and helpful! We had the whole ground floor home to ourselves, and had nice chats with Hector and little visits from the owner’s small dogs. The layout is great - we were able to have our own space in bedrooms, and the doors opened up to the pool/outdoor dining area which was super convenient and spacious. There are also great touches like a first aid kit (hiking a waterfall with 4 kids, you know), toiletries, towels, washer/dryer, and pool toys that were those little extras to put this hospitality over the top. We hit main attractions within 7-40 minutes: El Yunque and Luquillo Beaches are very close, and Old San Juan and the BioBay were easy drives. We spent almost a whole day just hanging at the house in the pool and cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. I would recommend La Lomita to any kind of group. Fabulous experience.

This place is amazing! My family stayed a few days and then moved onto a beach place. We wish we would have stayed here the whole time. Its secluded but still close to everything. Kim responded quickly to my messages. We didnt meet her, but we met her husband, Hector, and he was a real nice guy. He kept the grounds looking fantastic. They have some cats and dogs that live with them and they are so sweet. My kids fell in love. My daughter is still talking about missing Daisy. I would absolutely stay here again if we ever come back. They have everything you could need for your stay, minus stuff like toothbrush, etc. I felt I overpacked to stay because they had everything I brought. I cant think of 1 negative about this place!

We had a great stay. Nice place, beautiful landscape. Good location between the hustle and bustle of San Juan and the beaches and activities in Fajardo and Luquillo. Instead of cars and music at night, we went to sleep to the sounds of rainforest critters. The beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of beach towels and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Island living
The property is an oasis that invites you with a long and beautiful driveway. If you want to experience the sounds of a rainforest and a cup of coffee in a tropical hillside then this is the property for you. We were able to enjoy a family reunion and introduce our homeland to grandchildren. It was especially beneficial to have solar power and Cistern water when there was an island wide power outage. The highlights are Don Hector who was available nearby to assist in a friendly & welcoming demeanor. There were pets to admire and pet which the little kids appreciated. The large balcony was our favorite spot to gather as a family for meals. Finally, we made use of the kitchen to cook many meals and found that we had what was needed.

Beautiful property in a great location
Amazing hosts, beautiful property and views. Our 6 year old loved the pool and had to be dragged out daily but could often be lured with the promise of a lizard hunt down the picturesque driveway (calling it a driveway doesn't do it justice, it's more of a hiking trail). Hector's dogs were frequent welcome guests, the happiest dogs I've ever seen. Would absolutely visit again if we have the opportunity.

We stayed here for 3 nights with 4 adults and 4 littles. It was a beautiful piece of property and only 15 minutes from a great beach and about 20-30 minutes to El Yunque. We also got to the ferry to Cuelbra in under an hour. Great location that seemed remote but was very convenient! Hector was very friendly but gave you the space to enjoy the amazing house.

Best Family Vacation
My family (husband, 22 year old son and 18 year old daughter) had our best family vacation yet. The house was perfect (fluffiest bath towels). We stayed over Christmas and the house was decorated which we appreciated. The pool was a little chilly at times but that didn't stop our kids. Kim was very responsive to all my inquiries (she was in the States) and it was nice having Hector there in case we need anything. We all loved having the kitties and dogs around. The island lost power the last day we were there but, because of the solar power backup, we had no idea until we tried to leave and had to manually open up the driveway gate. We found a fabulous beach 15 min. away and went there almost daily. We drove around the national park, drove along the pork highway, did a waterfall/cliff jumping tour, saw the castle/fortress in old San Juan (get there early! Parking/driving is horrendous!). We never felt unsafe - everyone was so friendly and we only had one waitress who didn't speak English (which was kind of fun trying to communicate with each other). There was so much of the island we didn't get to explore that we'll definitely be back!

This was the way
This VRBO was the way. Period. Hector and Kim gave a very welcoming feeling being introduced into the home. Although we didn’t have the privilege to meet Kim, Hector was very kind and accommodating. We saw him 2-3 times as he was passing by which, although he was very nice, it was nice to not feel heavily monitored. The home was well furnished, the couch was comfy, the beds were great, the pool was amazing! Thank you from Boston, MA!
