About the host
Hosted by VICTOR L ALONSO
My name is Victor Alonso. I was born in Lima, Peru, and my life has taken me through São Paulo, Costa Rica, Cabo San Lucas, New York, and finally Puerto Rico, which I now proudly call home.
I am a real estate investor and licensed Realtor with over 20 years of experience in short-term rentals. I strongly believe that staying in well-managed apartments instead of hotels offers a more authentic and comfortable travel experience.
Casa Terra Porto is operated as a Guest House, not a party property. We focus on respectful guests, quiet hours, and well-maintained spaces. Same-day bookings are welcome with confirmed communication.
In addition to hosting, I also represent buyers and manage short-term rental properties. If you are interested in investing in Puerto Rico, I am happy to assist you in finding and managing the right property.
