Great Stay

The Lion House was just as described. It suited our needs well and Alma was very responsive. The only things that deviated were small things like there being less beach towels than the number of guests — luckily we brought some of our own — and the walk to the ferry is more like 20 minutes, but it was a very safe, scenic walk along the shoreline to downtown Cataño. The pool was very nice and made the stay well worthwhile. There was also a pharmacy just a 2 minute walk away to get any necessary essentials and right across from it, a spot for morning empanadas.

I am very happy that you enjoyed the Lion House! I am sorry about the beach towels. We will be sure to have more next time! I encourage people that like to walk, to go walking to the ferry because the views are awesome! But you always can drive to there. Again, thank you for your the time in our house!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in Puerto Rico! From the moment we arrived, everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The house had everything we needed, and the location was perfect for exploring the island.The highlight of our trip was definitely the pool. It was spotless, private, and the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. We spent hours enjoying the sunshine, swimming, and making wonderful family memories.Alma was extremely responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a stress-free stay. We truly felt at home and couldn’t have asked for a better vacation rental.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway in Puerto Rico. Thank you for an incredible experience!

This owner cancelled our reservation while we awaited at the airport for the code to the house, which was rented nearly a month before! Terrible experience!

Enjoyable Stay in Paradise

We enjoyed our stay at Lion House very much. The pool was a great way to cool off from the heat. There was an issue with the pool being dirty and the waterfall not working when we arrived but everything was resolved the following day. We took the 50 cent ferry multiple times to get to Old San Juan to explore and to reach the pick up locations for booked excursions. We found that placing a sheet over the windows in the back door significantly cooled down the temperature in the house and added some extra privacy, the addition of curtains would be helpful for future guests. Overall, we really appreciated the location and vibe of this property. Many great memories were made during our stay here. Thank you for sharing the Lion House with us!
