Wonderful Stay in Farjado

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Sally’s house in Farjado with our 8 month old. The pool and outside area was perfect to enjoy while he was napping and we had everything we needed inside. Sally was a great host, sharing lots of ideas for things to check out in the area and answering any questions we had. We can’t wait to come back again soon!

We had a wonderful family vacation with three generations at the Hacienda. Sally communicated very well with us before we arrived and during our stay. Her home is conveniently located near El Yunque, beaches and restaurants. The house is charming, filled with gorgeous artwork and has all the modern amenities we needed; the kitchen is fully stocked and the bedrooms are comfortable. The outdoor grill and kitchen are perfect for our family meals. We spent a lot of time in the pool and on the patio in the evenings. We enjoyed walking in the gated community and I went for walks to the marina. Sally responded to any issues that came up immediately. She supplied us with diapers for the toddler and a brand new Pack n Play with sheets! Everyone was happy with our decision to rent this place.

Such a great stay! The property is beautiful and well kept. We had trouble with a leaking freezer (possibly bc of previous renters) and power outages, but the owner was right on top of it and had workers out to immediately kid both! Sally is awesome and a great host! Great location and safe place to stay. Great pool! I cannot highly recommend this place any higher!

Best vacation to Puerto Rico ever

Everything about this property was fantastic! We all loved the property for so many reasons. The back yard was beautiful with bushes and foliage everywhere! We were very entertained with the chickens and geikos! The inside of the home was spotless and contained many interesting art pieces. All in all we were very satisfied and Sally is a great host. Would definitely stay here again.

Sally was MORE THAN accommodating, great host. Our only issue, the floors were unsafe and there was deferred maintenance around the home. We were traveling with an older crowd, and we were very worried about walking on the floors. We ended up paying for two nights but only stayed for one. The outdoor area was beautiful.

Hi Rosemarie, Thank you for great review We were finally able to secure a contractor that works with wood floors which is difficult here with wood floors being uncommon and quite rare here. We have replaced the floors. We look forward to hosting you again.

Great place for small events. Plenty of space for everyone and the swimming pool was a great plus. Close to the beach, seafood restaurants and water sport activities.

The pool, pool house/outdoor kitchen, and back patio were amazing! We spent almost all of our time outside. My 8 and 6 year old daughters loved the pool and having a restroom in the pool house was very convenient. The grill was brand new which was great. The yard is very private & beautiful and we enjoyed daily visits from hen & chicks, rooster, lizards and a sleepy cat who would nap along the back wall. Very convenient to Luquillo, El Yunque, and excursions. Would love to visit this VRBO again! One note - it was very hard for us to find using the address and linked map from VRBO, I’d suggest getting detailed directions w/landmarks (like Burger King or the college for example) from Sally a day or so in advance so you know you’re heading to the correct neighborhood! Once we found it everything else was perfect!
Lots of pool and beach toys to enjoy!
Discovered a hen and a freshly hatched chick on our last morning!

Excellent home base

We enjoyed our visit to Puerto Rico! The owner Sally was very communicative. The interior of the home is comfortable for our party of 6. Two of the bedrooms share a jack and Jill bathroom. The pool and patio area are exceptional and where we spent most of our time. The house is conveniently located near the marinas where most of our excursions were. The neighborhood is quiet and gated.

First time in Puerto Rico

We had such a great time at Sally’s place in Fajardo. It was the perfect location for the Bio Bay tour, snorkeling trip to Icocas and a chocolate tour near el Yunque. The house was a good size for our group and we made use of the pool every day. The air conditioners in the bedrooms were fantastic. Sally was very helpful and had great ideas for restaurants and excursions. Thank you!

Beautiful house, great host

This house was just what my family needed during our vacation in Puerto Rico. The rooms are big and the living areas are well decorated with useful and interesting touches. The host was very responsive to any questions and she left a cabinet full of helpful information for sights to see . The yard, outside area and pool are wonderful, too. We got to see an iguana and some other lizards hanging out in the yard. We had a great stay and would certainly stay here again in the future!

The kitchen was very clean and stocked with dishes, cookware, and spices. The rooms and beds are spacious and comfy, and the bathrooms are stocked with body wash, shampoos, and other toiletries. Sally goes out of her way to make sure you have a great and comfortable stay. This place is a rare find as is the host she is truly delightful. We look forward to returning next year.

We had a great time with family and grandkids. Be forewarned that only the bedrooms have air conditioning so it gets pretty warm inside. The outside porch provides some relief. Although this didn’t prevent us from having a great time, we did have an incident that could help future renters: one of our cars (from a family member staying with with us, included in the group size at reservation), had a scratch caused by the unexpected closing of the garage door. No remote was given but instructions to open it from inside. No one touched the panel yet the garage door open and closed by itself several times. We called the owner and she stopped by and only apologized for the incident. We tried later on to reason with her to help cover the repair but efforts from VRBO and ourselves were either ignore or dismissed. We had added insurance to our reservation which protects the owner of the house but seems there is nothing to protect us as renters. We contacte VRBO, and after acknowledging our attempts to resolve with the owner and their own attempts, decided to commensurate us partially. The help was greatly appreciated. We just want to warn families with little children of the possibility of this happening again, and next time someone gets hurt.

We just returned from the most unforgettable 40th birthday weekend at Hacienda Azucar, and I truly cannot say enough about our host, Sally.From the moment we booked, Sally went above and beyond in ways we’ve never experienced with a vacation rental. She surprised me with cupcakes to help celebrate my birthday, purchased a brand-new TV so we could watch the Super Bowl, and even allowed us to set it up outside so our group of 10 could enjoy the game together. That level of thoughtfulness and flexibility is rare.She gave us fantastic restaurant recommendations, connected us with an amazing catamaran excursion, and even gave us a ride when we needed one. Every detail felt intentional and generous.The home itself was perfect for our group — beautiful, comfortable, and ideal for a celebratory weekend with friends. But what truly made the experience exceptional was Sally. We arrived as guests and left feeling like we had made a friend on the island.If you’re considering Hacienda Azucar, book it. You will not regret it.

Sally was an excellent host. Great communication and recommendations. The house is well-stocked with everything we could possibly need. I was especially grateful for the plastic containers we could use to take food with us to the beach. There isn't air conditioning in the main parts of the house, but the AC units in the bedrooms work very well and we slept quite comfortably. The large covered patio was great. We had dinner out there several times. The yard is beautiful and my family enjoyed the pool. The bathroom near the pool was very useful. The neighborhood is wonderful - safe and quiet and within walking distance to the town's main plaza. The only reason I'm not giving a 5-star rating is the condition of the floors in the house. There are several areas where the floor bends and buckles when stepped on. It was very surprising and unsettling.

Beautiful Home - Excellent homebase

This is a gorgeous historic home. As a group of 2 families, with kids ranging from 8 yrs to 20 yrs, the pool and very large covered patio are where we spent most of our time. We really only ventured inside to sleep and prepare food - and for these activities we very much appreciated the AC in the bedrooms and the spacious and well stocked kitchen! The house is thoughtfully stocked with pool & bath towels, coffee, plenty of glassware and dishes, trash bags, and even dishwasher and washing machine detergent. The best amenity is by far Sally herself!! Sally was extremely helpful and a wonderful source of information and suggestions on things to do and see. She went very much above and beyond in helping us book outings and sending us links for El Yunque trails and specific beaches and grocery stores. Really just a joy to talk to and work with. Will definitely recommend!

Beautiful home…great host!

Our stay was amazing! The house is located very conveniently with close proximity to several grocery stores, El Yunke Rainforest and Luquillo beach. It was also an easy drive to San Juan. The house itself has everything you need. The host, Sally, has thought of all the details! The little extras she had were really helpful. Such as extra shampoo, conditioner, suncreen, etc. The kitchen boasted many extras and any type of cooking accessory you would need! I was nervous at first about there not being AC in the main living space, and it does get hot out there. But the bedrooms get cold and stay cool! So that was not an issue at all.Sally was extremely communicative and responded to any question I had almost immediately. She is also very knowledgeable of the area as she is local and can give you great pointers on things to do in the area. If we ever go back to PR, we would definitely stay here again!
