We want to ensure that you're fully aware of the tropical setting that defines our Casa, that is surrounded by abundant tall trees and tropical palms.

Tropical Oasis Away from City & Beach
After spending four days in Old Town/Resort Area, it was terrific to head to Gurabo and stay in this villa-style home. While it is in a gated community within Gurabo, you feel like you are far away from everyone and everything. The home is well-appointed with two living spaces, huge dining/kitchen, reading room and three upstairs bedrooms. The entire backside of the house opens up to a gorgeous pool with many lounging/seating areas. It truly is an oasis. It is a great place if you want to escape the tourists. At the same time, it is just a 45-minute drive to Fajardo/beach area, where we went boating to Culebra and later went back for the Bio Bay kayak experience. In addition, it's just a 30-minute drive thru the spectacular mountain ranges to the Cayes area, whose lechoneras for roasted pork were made famous in Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations." We stayed here five nights and did not want to leave. To top it off, he owner is incredibly attentive to every need.

Extraordinary
The host, Socorro, was simply the best. She was available for any questions we had. Very courteous and I could feel the genuine customer service from her. The place was immaculate. It couldn’t have been any better. So much space to wind down and relax and swim in the pool. Next time I’m in Puerto Rico I’ll be sure to stay here again.

Beautiful City Oasis
The pictures very accurately show the house but they don't do justice for just how beautiful it is...inside and outside. You tend to forget that you are in the middle of a neighborhood as this property is its own little oasis. While it isn't on the beach and is a bit of a drive just about everything we did was within a 45 minutes or less drive (we live in a small, rural community so that is normal for us and was just fine). Great communication with the host. We would definitely stay here again!
