About this property

Tropic Like It`s Hot Family Adventure with Large Pool in Rio Grande

Tropic Like It's Hot sits on the outskirts of El Yunque Rainforest in Puerto Rico. Make lifelong memories at this unique and family-friendly vacation home. Fun for all ages! Centrally located, you'll be just 15 min from the beautiful beaches of Luquillo & championship-level golf courses. The amazing waterfalls of El Yunque & the Carabali Rainforest Adventure Park (ziplines/ATV/horseback riding) are also only 15 min away. 25 min to SJU airport, 45 min to the Ceiba Ferry, 40 min to Old San Juan.

Close to El Yunque Rainforest, renowned golf courses, and the beautiful beaches of Luquillo, Tropic Like It's Hot private home sleeps 12. With a fun game room, large family/dining room, fully stocked kitchen, private swimming pool & more, it's the perfect place for families and large groups to enjoy and relax.

Ping pong, dominoes, board games, wall games, & more will keep everyone entertained in the game room. The large sectional couch in the adjacent family room is a great place to relax and watch TV. The dining room seats 12 comfortably, and the a/c units in the living areas are an added bonus.

The full-size kitchen is completely stocked. Brand new appliances, dinnerware, and all kinds of utensils and gadgets will come in handy. We even have an Instapot and air fryer/microwave!  Spices, cooking spray, soaps, paper towels, and more are all provided. We also have creamer, sugar, and some coffee to start your trip off right.

The upper level balcony wraps around 3 sides of the house. Enjoy the beautiful views and jungle breezes from one of several hammocks. The large, private backyard has something for everyone: a swimming pool with a basketball hoop, putting green, badminton/volleyball, glow in the dark tetherball, lounge chairs, outdoor dining, plus a gazebo with propane grill and fireplace. Truly a private oasis.

There are 2 King beds and 4 Queen beds total. NO bunkbeds, so everyone has a comfortable place to sleep. (Pack n play baby crib also provided.) 4 bedrooms (1 on the main floor, 3 upstairs) offer plenty of space to spread out. Each bedroom has an a/c unit and ceiling fan, light/sound blocking curtains, pillow top mattress with memory foam topper, pillow and mattress protectors, plenty of extra pillows and blankets, a chair or bench to sit on, mosquito trap, and extra places to plug in chargers. We have truly thought of everything.

3 full bathrooms—with HOT water—come equipped with plenty of towels, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, hair dryers, and even microfiber makeup remover towels. The 2 main floor bathrooms have spa shower systems and the upstairs bathroom has a full size bathtub/shower. A non-slip mat and shower seat are available.

The laundry room has a brand new, full size washer & dryer and is stocked with liquid detergent, Tide pods, fabric softener, dryer sheets, & dryer balls. A full size ironing board, iron, and garment steamer are also available.

The large closet in the laundry room is stocked with beach gear, yard/pool equipment, and more. We have 12 beach chairs, pool and beach towels, a hard-sided cooler with wheels, a soft-sided cooler backpack, an insulated tote bag, boogie boards, a beach umbrella, beach canopy, beach blanket, sand toys, smashball, & more. You'll also find a badminton/volleyball net, golf balls and putters, balls/ball pump, pool floats, etc.

There is a dedicated workspace near the main living area. A comfortable chair and small desk sit just off the dining room. We have high speed Wi-Fi, with a whole-home mesh system.

The carport provides covered parking for up to 4 vehicles. The lockbox is conveniently located by the door under the carport. Each exterior door uses the same key. There are 4 exterior doors on the main floor and 2 upstairs—one sliding door and one at the end of the hallway, both leading to the balcony. All windows are equipped with screens, which is a must in the jungle!

Family Vacation 2023
Best vacation ever! The house was more than what we expected. My family enjoyed the pool every day after exploring the island. Nearby beaches and restaurants were a big plus. I recommend this home while traveling to Puerto Rico. You won't regret it.

The PERFECT House with Everything you Need
First off, how cute is the outside? Such a fun, happy, island color! There is a huge pool (perfect temperature) with a waterfall, surrounded by a very spacious backyard and beautiful palm trees. There are lounge chairs and a table withumbrella, a putting green, too! The bedrooms have literally everything you need, with amazing mattresses and high quality bedding and blankets! Not to mention the cutest decor and colors! And ear plugs to block out jungle sounds at night. The house has so much space, with a game room, 2 dining tables and a huge plush (comfortable) couch. When are rental couches ever comfortable?! Well they are at this one! There is even a dedicated office space. The kitchen is equipped (and LABELED) with everything you’d have at home, and more, including an instant pot and air fryer. Oh and ziplock bags and Tupperware. All the furniture is such good quality. There are little touches everywhere, like in each room there are plugs/USB ports that are easy to reach, throws, laundry baskets, side lamp, mosquito fan and the decor is seriously the most adorable ever! There are boogie boards and beach towels and chairs, an a umbrella, a cooler that we took in the car every day filled with our cold drinks (this SAVED us, bc it’s so hot here and we were always thirsty). There was an AC unit in every room and it cooled the house down so quickly. The lights had fans that were super powerful and made it so pleasant to be inside. THEY THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING! Worth every penny.

Vacation Time
Had a really nice stay here. Everything you need is here except your food and drinks. These owners really make it easy to get you on your way to vacationing and not having to go around shopping for all the necessary things to cook and clean and relax with. Just enjoy your stay and read the signs. Thanks guys!!!
