About the host
Hosted by Josefina Bonilla Velez
When I was six, my family moved to Boston. For years, we only vacationed in Puerto Rico, but I inherited my parents' dream of moving back. After visiting Islote, Arecibo with my sons, we bought a home in Puerto Rico and spent summers, vacations, and holidays there.
Today, we share our private oasis with you, hoping you'll fall in love with the salt air and the ocean's embrace, just as we have. We travel back and forth between Islote and Boston.

Why they chose this property
The feeling of pure relaxation and serenity while gazing out at the vast ocean is almost indescribable. It makes everything else seem so much smaller and insignificant.
What makes this property unique
Catalina offers the best of both worlds. You’re close to local eateries, bars, and restaurants, while also enjoying nearly an acre of space for you and your guests
