Great property on Culebra

The Casita is perfectly located, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The view from the porch is amazing. We didn't even rent a car because we could easily walk or take a taxi everywhere we wanted to go.

A wonderful week in Culebra

We enjoyed our one-week stay at Pastel House Casita. Ann is a wonderful host. The property has a great location, right at the doorstep of Melones Beach, where we would go for an early morning swim or to watch the beautiful sunsets. It’s also within walking distance of the town centre and just 7–10 minutes' drive from the wonderful Tamarind and Flamenco beaches. On Ann’s advice, we took a day boat trip with H2O Water Taxi to Culebrita Island. Overall, our week was amazing. We enjoyed beautiful beaches and snorkelling, and we saw incredibly colourful and large fish, stingrays, sea urchins as big as volleyballs, and even swam alongside turtles.

Best casita ever

The casita is Fantastic !! Probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. It’s cute and cozy, very well equipped, in a great location (3-4 min walk from Melones and very close to the restaurants etc). I really enjoyed my stay and hope to be back soon!!!

Charming Hillside Retreat

We loved our stay at Pastel Casita on the Road to Melones Beach, Culebra, Puerto Rico. It was charming and rustic but very clean with beautiful views of the Caribbean, neighboring Vieques and Puerto Rico in the distance. Ann, the property manager, was very friendly, attentive and helpful in making our vacation so enjoyable. We look forward to a return visit!

Overall delightful place

We really enjoyed Anne’s house. It was very well appointed and everything you might possibly need is already there. Love the ambience and the proximity to Melones Beach and town. Anne is a sweetheart. The only drawback is the lack of air conditioning. Otherwise everything was fantastic.

Love Melones Beach

We found Pastel House very appropriate for our needs. We made most of our dinners and appreciated the full kitchen. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. We loved the shelves in the bedrooms for our suitcases and clothes. We appreciated being able to use beach chairs and snorkeling equipment. Because of the northeast wind, Melones Bay was a wonderfully relaxing beach a short walk away. The owner was very attentive to anything we needed.

Lovely Spot, Lovely Host

Our family of four could not dream of a better home base in Culebra. Just a 10 minute walk from the ferry terminal, it's also only 2 minutes on foot to the stellar snorkeling at Playa Melones. The simple but spacious Casita had everything we needed: two queen beds in air-conditioned bedrooms plus a twin-sized day bed in the living room, a functional kitchen, a table for four plus comfortable lounging space, a porch with a lovely view, and even four nice beach chairs. And Ann was an exceptionally communicative and kind host, generous with suggestions and help while totally respectful of our privacy. This peaceful hillside spot was emblematic of Culebra's low-key charms: an unfussy island whose loveliest facets reveal themselves to those who are willing to walk a little ways off the beaten paths.

Beach life

We enjoyed our stay at the Pastel Casita, but it has its quirks. Because there's no AC, the windows are always open and fans need to be running anytime you're there (and we were there in December). The screens on the windows are good and tight, but there's inevitably going to be some gnats / mosquitoes / little flying bugs that make there way in -- especially at night when the lights are on inside. That's island life. We needed to be covered in mosquito repellant to use the porch. Ann had lots on hand and brought us extra -- she was really friendly and helpful.

Frat House Vibe

NOT quaint. This house is run down and furnished with what appears to be castoffs, like a frat house. One bedroom is acceptable, but the smaller bedroom is a very confined space. No window treatments in the living room/kitchen on the sun side of the house. They forgot to provide towels. There is no air conditioning, but there is a ceiling fan in every room. If you are greatly affected by the heat or if you want a very tidy clean rental this is not the place for you. Thankfully the owner only charged us for the first night and refunded us the rest of our rental fee. Positives - very close to Melones Beach which is wonderful, and the manager was very good about getting us a prompt refund.

Amazing and Beautiful Place-Warm host who goes ABOVE and BEYOND!

My adult daughter and I stayed here during the first week of January and it was gorgeous views and so close to the beach and town! We walked to the beach once and to town several times before getting a Jeep (that Ann recommended). The kitchen had everything we needed and the property was clean and had more than we could have imagined we needed (like snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, beach umbrella). Unfortunately, we had to leave early due to a family emergency, and Ann, who had been already extremely helpful to us, providing us with information about the island, jeep rentals, and answered all of our questions, went above and beyond in helping us. Ann was so kind and compassionate, giving us any information she knew so we could navigate my father's extra special medical needs (staying in another place on Culebra) as he was urgently taken to San Juan. She brought us a blanket, explained what she knew about the hospital systems in PR, and even checked in on us after we left the island! I look forward to coming and spending more time in Culebra seeing all the island has to offer. I am hopeful that we can stay with Ann again. I cannot recommend the property enough, especially the host with the most, Ann! Thank you!

Perfect location!

My friend and I decided to go to Culebra In hopes of practicing our Spanish as well as an excuse to explore the island! What a beautiful island! The property manager, ANN, is fabulous! She always communicated quickly with us before and during our stay about ANY questions we had, she even met us at the house to show us everything including reviewing a map with us so we knew where everything is on the island! The house is away from the congestion of downtown, but only a 5 minute drive from there &/or the ferry, about 10 minutes from the airport, and 5 minute walk to the nearest beach. The views from the upper deck on the roof of our Casita had amazing views which enhanced our cocktail hour as well as the beauty of viewing the stars at night. There are games, books, and snorkeling equipment available too. The house needs a little maintenance & a few upgrades, which the owners are tending to now. In fact, after we left, they were having someone coming in to redo all the decks! There are chickens in the neighborhood, so the roosters do crow often - but I grew up with chickens so it didn't bother me much! I look forward to returning to this beautiful island and only can hope I can stay in this casita again!

Casita Pastel vacation home

We absolutely loved the casita. It had a beautiful view. It was a little hot because we were vacationing during July. I notified Ann, the manager and immediately she said she would bring us a fan. The next day while we were out, we returned and Ann had purchased a fan for us and it was so much better. We were also able to use the washer and drier. I loved everything about the location. At night the weather was amazing. We would definitely return to casita pastel. The only thing I did not like was all of the sand fleas that were at Melones Beach. We all got bit by the sand fleas we we weren’t able to enjoy the beautiful sunset, but Ann was kind enough to allow us to go to the rooftop balcony. She was very accommodating and kind.
