About this property

Estrella del Sol - At the foothills of El Yunque National Forest

Located in Rio Grande, the city of El Yunque, the SOLAR powered Villa Apt is located in a quiet neighborhood with everything you want or need for the perfect getaway. Two large bedrooms, with their own bathroom and a large open kitchen/dining/ living room area with all the conveniences to feel at home. AC throughout the apartment and ceiling fans with a full sized kitchen, washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, two outside patios, one of which includes a hammock, and breathtaking views of El Yunque.

THE SPACE:

During daylight hours, you can walk to the nearby river, see a variety of birds on the trees, pet the neighborhood cat, or see the neighborhood’s chickens and roosters scurrying about the yard. If you are up for an adventure, then you can visit the many local attractions, including a new local craft brewery in Rio Grande. At night, you will be lulled by the sounds of the Rainforest including the coquis and if you are a star gazer, this is the place to be.
The villa apartment has a separate entrance from the main villa. You have the choice of the courtyard with chairs at the front of the house or the first floor veranda around the back of the house to enjoy in the comfort of the hammock (hamaca), enjoy gazing at the stars at night, or sit and relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

Although you are in a secluded spot, it is very close to many local attractions:
San Juan International Airport (25 min, SJU), Old San Juan, Condado, Isla Verde (30 min), El Yunque Rainforest (10 min), Golf (Whyndam Grand Rio Mar or Coco Beach) (10 minutes) Rio Grande Beach (10 minutes), Luquillo Beach and Kioscos (15 min), new Ceiba Ferry Terminal to Culebra & Vieques (40 min), Carabali Rainforest Adventure Park (10 min), Seven Seas Beach (35 min). Also available nearby, Horseback riding, ziplines, jet skis, surfing lessons (La Pared Beach), kayaking, snorkeling and scuba diving.

The entire space is 1500 sq feet with outside courtyard of approximately 500 sq. feet additional.

GUEST ACCESS:
The back patio with the hammock is accessed by walking around the house as it is located at the back of the house. A second patio is right outside the apartment.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
The front patio has Adirondack chairs, large umbrella to sit under the shade AND an outdoor shower custom painted by a local artist. It is made of a used surfboard and plumbed to provide both a shower and a hose to rinse the feet prior to going into the Apartment

We look forward to welcoming you!

Nice get-a-way in Rio Grande area

The location of this property was ideal for our trip. We were able to visit nearby friends/ family (in Rio Grande and Fajardo) and take day trips to the nearby towns of El Yunque, Piñones, Carolina, and even Old San Juan. Our unit was nicely decorated, and well-maintained. The property owner communicated well, and was quick to respond to my questions. Enjoyed our stay!

We are a family (4 adults; 2 adolescent kids) on vacation in Puerto Rico. Estrella del sol was the best place we've stayed so far. Spacious. Super clean. Well-equipped. Lots of thoughtful amenities, like 2 kinds of coffeemakers and an electric tea kettle. Books, games, and videos for kids of all ages. Very responsive, friendly hosts who live on-site. It's a little of the beaten path, but is in a quiet neighborhood with good access to Luquillo, the beach and Los Kioscos and El Yunque. We had a great time!
