About this property

Stunning And Spacious Beachfront Pool House Near Rio Mar Resort! See Video!

It is our pleasure to offer you a little bit of paradise in our privately owned beachfront home Villa "Besos Zalados" (translated to Salty Kisses). This beautiful 3 bedroom 4.5 bath vacation home overlooking Las Picuas Beach is located in the gated community Ocean Forest in Rio Grande, on the northeast side of Puerto Rico, near the famous Wyndham Rio Mar Beach Resort. Spanning a little over 3000SF, this magnificent beachfront residence with its high ceilings and extensive windows will have you enjoying wonderful views from multiple vantage points. And let's not forget it's wonderful location with it's close proximity to an abundance of activities: golf, beach, pool, water sports, horseback riding, rain forest, restaurants, bars, and many many more.
From the moment you enter the house, you will be captivated by its elegant yet laid back beach feeling. The entryway draws you into a spacious layout made for entertaining. The kitchen, dining room and living room share that open concept with unbelievable views of the terrace, pool and beach. It is ideal for entertaining or just relaxing with your loved ones. The family room offers a comfortable space to relax and enjoy a little down time, with its flat screen tv and comfortable queen sleeper sofa, which could accommodate another 2 extra guests. Also on the first floor, the devine master suite, with king size bed and opulent ensuite with a jetted soaking tub and separate shower, has direct access to the terrace and pool. The second bedroom, known a s the Jr Suite, has a queen size bed with a Jack and Jill bathroom connecting to the family room. The third bedroom has two sets of double beds and an ensuite bathroom. Fresh linens and towels are included. The second story treats you to a large hang out loft room complete with a billiards table. Two twin size beds and a 4th bathroom add to a variety of sleeping arrangements. The 2nd story balconies offer you breathtaking views of El Yunque National Rain Forest as well as the Caribbean Ocean, thus the name of the complex, Ocean Forest. French doors invite you to the gorgeous outside with it's covered terrace, private infinity pool and direct access to the beach. Included in this outdoor living area is patio furniture, an outdoor half bath, an outdoor shower and some beach gear such as towels, chairs, inflatables and body boards, all included to make your vacation that much more enjoyable.
Villa Besos Zalados can accommodate 8 adults, up to 10 guests if children are included. It's a great house for families or groups. The villa has free high speed wireless internet, cable, TV, a fully equipped kitchen and all rooms and common areas have ac units. However, I recommend that during the day you open all the doors and windows to take full advantage of the soothing sound of the waves and the cool tropical trade winds.
While it might be tempting to spend all your time enjoying and relaxing in this wonderful villa, its ideal location serves as a great base to explore Puerto Rico. Near by lies the Wyndham Rio Mar Resort with its beautiful golf courses, restaurants, bar, casino and spa. Near by attractions include El Yunque National Rainforest, Carabali Adventure Park and the Luquillo Kiosks to name a few. Half an hour out is the city of Fajardo, where its marinas offer boat excursions to Puerto Rico's island towns Culebra and Vieques. And finally a day trip to Old San Juan (about a 45 minute drive) is also a must. Stepping into Old San Juan's blue cobblestone streets will feel like going back in time. The walled city still preserves its stunning colonial architecture alongside some of the island's best museums, restaurants, shops and nightlife.
Please allow us to make your vacation a great one. We are here to serve and accommodate as best we can.
Villa Beso Zalado...memories of a lifetime...in a few days or a week. The way the beach was meant to be. Experience it, enjoy it, live it.

So come and savor the ocean's salty kisses, at Villa Besos Zalados!!

Besos Zalados We had an amazing stay! The location right on the beach was unbeatable, and having a pool to enjoy as well made it even better. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Christina was a wonderful host—her response time to any questions was incredibly fast, which made everything so easy. She had a toy closet generously stocked for my grandsons.We’re already looking forward to coming back!

Amazing Beach House!

We loved spending time at this beautiful beach house. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, easy to get to, and so close to so many fun things! We loved everything about the house, and while we did plenty of adventures, we also liked just relaxing there! Don’t hesitate to book. The beach there is incredible. Such soft sand and beautiful water.

This beachfront property is absolutely stunning! We travel to PR annually and must say this home tops all the rest. It is literally 10 minutes from El Yunque. There are multiple grocery stores within 15 minutes including Amigo and Wal-Mart. It is only a 10-minute drive to Luquillo Beach and kiosks with tons of food/drink options to choose from. Additionally, there are many local restaurants with great reviews nearby including two just 5 minutes down the road. We visited with 3 adults and 4 children, however, there was easily room for 5 more. The home is well stocked with all your basic toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc), beach and regular towels and most every pantry necessity, so check before going grocery shopping. The pool and outdoor areas are wonderful and the soft, sandy beach is right in your back yard. Christina is a wonderful host and super communicative. We 100% recommend!!!

Dream vacation

This property is a dream; great location, perfect layout and size for a group or family. The house is kept in immaculate condition and has everything you might need. It is close to restaurants and el Yunque. However, you can stay in the whole time and enjoy the pool and beach in your back yard. We will be back again!

Great location

Our family stayed at the house with 2 adults and 5 adult kids 19-22. The house was a perfect size. Everyone had their own space. The location can’t be beat- right on an almost private beach steps away. So nice to be able to wake up and take a long walk on the beach. The house had everything you need- kitchen supplies, towels, etc. There are numerous restaurants very close by and a grocery store within about 5-7 minutes away. We would definitely recommend

Breathtaking.

Just like all the other reviews mention, Christina’s home is beautiful. Lots of natural sunlight, nature, great views from all areas of the house. To have a beach just steps away is incredible. On The weekends around noon a wonderful man named Pedro comes around selling delicious and refreshing ice cream which was a great surprise. Lots of places to eat nearby and old San Juan is only a 30 to 40 minute drive. I hope to return one day.

Beautiful Vacation

My family just wrapped up our vacation and flew home yesterday. Literally EVERTHING was perfect on this vacation. Christina was quick to respond to our questions prior to booking the property. Upon arrival, Christina provided instructions for property and house entry. Online photographs do not do the house or property any justice. It is more stunning in person. Everything, including the smallest detail was thoutht out. Following a passing storm, Christina reached out via phone call in order to make sure we were healthy and happy. We will definately be back! Thank you Christina! Craig S.

Tropical paradise! Perfect for families, you will love it!

Stayed here with my husband and 3 teenage children (we could have easily fit more). The house is spacious and beautiful, nicely decorated and very clean. Laid out so everyone had plenty of space. The beach was sandy and the waves were big enough for the kids to have fun but not so big that I was worried about them. Loved the location-easy to get to from the airport, short drive to many wonderful restaurants and the rain forest, we took several trips out of the marina in Fajardo and tried the bio bay tour-it was all a very easy drive. Loved coming back to this home after our adventures to swim, relax, and play games (pool and ping pong table were a big hit with the kids and kept them entertained at night). Loved this house and would highly recommend!

Great vacation!

The house is beautiful and clean. Very comfortable. Plenty of space for our family of five (2 adults and 3 teens-17,16,14). Well stocked kitchen. Great pool and beach right out back. Beach is almost private. Surf was rough the first 2 days but luckily it quieted down and we got to swim in the warm water. Sea Turtle nesting sites right on the beach. 10 minutes to the Rainforest, ziplines, Carabali Adventure Park and Luquillo beach and kiosks. Grocery store less than 15 minutes away. Restaurants close by. Approx 30 min from Fajardo and 40 from Old San Juan. Communication with Christina was quick and easy. Don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed.

An Island Oasis

This place is amazing! There were 7 of us that stayed...of which two were kids, ages 7 and 10. Each room had their own bathroom with a shower, and closet space too! We spent a lot of time in the kitchen which was fully stocked with glassware, pots, and pans. We fell in love with the patio area, which was so beautiful lit up at night. The kids absolutely adored the pool - always crystal clear and inviting. The tiny walk to the beach was also a huge plus. We loved the fact the house was stocked with beach toys, beach towels, and pool noodles! It was the fastest week of my life, and I had to pinch myself to make sure it was real! We are so sad to leave, but would love to stay again in the future! It was truly a home away from home.

Perfect location, beautiful home, wonderful host.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay in this beautiful location with posh amenities. With an infinity pool overlooking a semi-private stretch of beach, convincing ourselves to leave the premise was no small feat. When researching the property our biggest concern was that the house would be isolated and far from restaurants, shops, culture, etc. This is absolutely not the case! There are at least a dozen restaurants nearby and the food we had was mostly exceptional. It is about 12 minutes to a well stocked grocery store. Right next to the Wyndham resort and across the highway from the rainforest entrance. If you are considering Fajardo, stay here instead! We were so happy we did. The house has nice finishes and is well stocked with cooking gear and basic seasoning/spices. Christina is the owner/host and is amazing to work with. Great communication, very friendly, kind and gracious. This site is broken and only let me give this property half of the 10 stars it deserves!

Perfect Oasis

There were 8 of us in all and the house was the perfect size for us. We love how Christina covered every detail and we did no lack anything that we would have liked for our trip. Beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, everything was provided. Check in and out was seamless. The privacy of the beach on weekdays was perfect for an introvert like myself. Weekends were busier but we used this time to explore San Juan and enjoy the pool. Several restaurants were within a 10 minute drive of the house. Brasas y Cultura was a favorite and we ordered from them twice. Our preference was to pick up food and eat at the house because...why leave? Groceries were also accessible within a 10 minute drive. I am not easy to please but this was hands down the best vacation I've ever had and the absolute best in terms of lodging. If we return to PR we would definitely stay here again. A few things to note, due to the hot weather and the pool being shallow, the water is always warm. Water pressure in the bathrooms (except for the master) is weak. The beach is private so expect lots of seaweed on the sand.. Sunrise is beautiful but you will be eaten alive by mosquitoes so wear long sleeves and long pants for these occasions. This place is worth the money!

The location was perfect for everything we were wanting to do. It was very private and we felt like we were secluded from the "city." It was quiet and gorgeous. We loved being able to bounce between the pool and ocean. The house was perfect for our family of 7 to have family time but also provide space from each other. There was plenty of seating and we loved hanging out at the pool area. We would definitely stay here again.

The home itself is modern, spacious, and beautifully appointed with everything you need for a relaxing stay.Christina was such a thoughtful host and responded quickly to any questions we had. It’s rare to find a spot that’s this gorgeous inside and out, but this one really has it all. We’ve stayed in plenty of vacation rentals, and this is hands down our favorite.

About the host

Host profile image
I have lived in Puerto Rico for the last 30 years. During that time, I have fallen in love with all the beauty this island has to offer. I am a beach lover, and my dream of owning a beach house finally came true about 2 years ago. After quietly enjoying our property for the last two years, my husband and I decided to rent it out so that others might enjoy it also.
