Secret hideaway!

We traveled with 4 couples and had plenty of house space. The pool was amazing and clean and the beach was a few steps away! We will return again!

A great house, private pool, and views of the ocean!

This was our first time in Puerto Rico and it was an amazing trip for our family! The house is in a peaceful community which we truly appreciated after full days of hiking, sightseeing, and exploring the island. We especially loved the private pool and being just steps from a quiet beach—listening to the sound of the ocean was a dream! The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for our group. Rick was an outstanding host—very responsive and helpful both before and during our stay. We loved our experience and hope to return one day!

Spring break

This is the second time we have stayed at one of Ricks properties. They are always well stocked and very clean, lots of pool toys, beach chairs, towels and even boogie boards. The local beach can sometimes have a lot of seaweed and other times is really clear, we had better luck going at low tide to avoid seaweed. We lost power for 2 days, but fortunately the grill worked as our oven and with the windows open the house was not unbearably hot. Rick was great with communication. Enjoyed our stay

Nice property!

This was our 3rd visit to Puerto Rico but the first time staying in this area. The location was very convenient for all of the activities we wanted to see and do. We spent plenty of time at the property also. The pool area was so comfortable and private. One of our favorite things was walking just a short distance to the beach where we could enjoy our afternoons without being amongst a lot of people. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if we go back to PR.

Nice house and pool and location

Very nice house and pool. Easy walk to the nature preserve. A few miles from lots of shopping. Two decent restaurants basically at the community’s entrance. The gated community with all the houses with bars on the windows and doors was off putting but that apparently is how it is throughout PR.Rick was extremely responsive and available. Couldn’t ask for a better host.

Wonderful property

You get the best of both worlds with the beach and pool at this home. It was clean and the beds were comfy. Very spacious. There were 5 of us and we never felt like we were on top of each other. There are shops and restaurants close by. Bocata and El Kafe became repeat favorites!Rick was very quick to respond to any questions we had and it was a great trip.

Great Option in Quiet Area

This location wound up being a great low-key option as a base for several days on the island -- easy access to Humacao, plenty of space, sounds of the beach, and a great private pool. Worked out very well for our family!

Great First Visit

Our family was taking our first visit to Puerto Rico and we loved it. We stayed in three different locations and this home in Humacao was our favorite. It's a bit off the beaten path relative to the other major locations (San Juan, Fajardo, Luquillo, etc) but that means it's very quiet which is what we prefer. We took day trips to a few other locations but the beach here was our kids favorite though it did have seaweed and not a ton of sandy beach. The home itself was clean and we also appreciated how well equipped it was: beach toys, kitchen utensils, pans, etc.The gated community was quiet, friendly, and peaceful.Size was more than adequate for the seven of us, we had space to hang out inside or sit out by the pool, which was also a hit with the younger kids in particular.The host was helpful and very responsive. I hope to return to Puerto Rico and we will definitely consider staying here again if we are able.

The perfect place to celebrate my birthday with friends!

I could gush all day about the great location, the beautiful beach just steps away, the accommodating and kind host, the amenities that you want and need, just about everything you could hope for! It's less than an hour from the hustle of San Juan, and feels like a remote location, but it's just 10 minutes fast food, Walmart and other shopping options. We had a couple of hiccups with plumbing and a failed AC, but Rick had an HVAC tech and a plumber there in less than 12 hours! Can't complain about that kind of response from a host!!! The house was clean, had a well-stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, and a beautiful pool It was the perfect place to celebrate my "holy cow, I'm old" birthday with friends.
