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.

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.

We want your vacation to be a wonderful time and can help with anything you need before or during your stay. Hosts reside in separate 2nd floor unit with separate parking and entrance. Hosts do not monitor guests. With 8-10" of concrete between the floors, noise has not been an issue. See previous guest reviews.

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.

Beautiful setting close to everythjng

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.

Everything was just as described on the listing. Kim and Hector were very responsive to text. The location was great for El Yunque as it is close to it. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. We went to Fajardo, Old San Juan, and several different beaches. Nice pool and we had a covered place to park our cars. Very handy to have a washer and a dryer. The night sounds are amazing. You are in the middle of the forest. We felt at home. Thank you!!!

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!

Just book it, you won’t regret it!

This house, location, and the hosts were absolutely perfect! We were within driving distance to everything from Old San Juan, Beaches, rainforest, restaurants, Ralph’s grocery- and after long days out we came back to the most peaceful, stunning property with a great pool. The house is clean- and I’m very picky about that, in fact I spent hours upon hours looking for a place to stay before choosing this one- stocked with everything you need for cooking or grilling, beds were so comfortable, always had water and electricity. Hector was very helpful, and our teens loved his dogs. Kim was easily reachable via text, check-in was seamless and she sent everything we needed to know ahead of time. This was such an amazing trip and this VRBO made it so much better. We will definitely be back.
