House was very clean and in a quiet area. The view was amazing and the house felt very homey which was nice on the days we were stuck indoors due to weather. Matresses were very comfortable, we slept very well here!

Perfect for visiting family

We invited my nephew and his family to visit us on San Juan but our circumstances changed and I needed to find alternate housing for them. Having them in the Open Bay Beach was the perfect answer. They had a fabulous time and take away great memories of their visit.

Beautiful location

This was a beautiful location to stay at. The only thing we wished for was bigger beds. The internet was not reliable so working while visiting wouldn’t be possible, but with the views you wouldn’t want to work anyway. Beautiful home. The house was very clean and the location was very quiet. Would definitely stay again.

The listing is spot on. Beautiful scenery and very peaceful. Easy to put out kayak in from the beach. Nice gravel beach, easy access. It would be nice if there was a privacy hedge planted between the neighbors. One of the neighbors is the owner of the unit. Overall great stay.

Great getaway

We had a fantastic time. The house was clean, well laid out and had the most spectacular views. It was awesome to just walk down a few steps to beach. Even though we shared the beach with the house next door, we had the place to ourselves and our kids could have played in the rocks and explored the tide pools for hours. We can’t wait to come back in the summer and enjoy the deck and sunnier weather!

Comfortable house at a great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Open Bay Beach. The beds were very comfortable. The house was clean and had plenty of space. My son enjoyed the basketball court. We picked kale and strawberries from the garden to have with dinner one night. We had a visiting seal and even saw orcas from the deck one night. The only downside is the internet isn't very reliable or fast, but that's probably an island wide issue. I wouldn't depend on this internet if you were needing to work remotely while visiting.

Fantastic Location

The location really can't be beat. The beach is at your door, and its lovely. Convenient to Wescott, Roche, Lime Kiln, Mount Young and Grant, and the Alpacas. Town is just twenty minutes. One oddity: there were just four of us so the upstairs bathroom layout wasn't an issue. However, if there were another couple in the second bedroom upstairs, they would have to pass through the other upstairs bedroom when gong to use the bathroom. Should be a hallway with a door into the main bedroom. Great place though!

Great spot and house

Only 2 issues were old sunken mattress in main floor bedroom, and tv not smart. Mattress on second floor bed is excellent, but on warm days it’s very warm up there. We don’t watch a lot of tv, but did want to watch a football game which was only available on espn+. Otherwise very happy with house and location.

Great House!

We loved it - from beginning to end. The location was amazing - with the semi-private beach right in front of us - lovely sunsets. It had everything we needed - even a basketball court for our 3 boys (20, 17, and 14) ... who spent a fair amount of time playing there too. The only thing we would have liked better would have been the water pressure in the showers - especially the upstairs shower ... Don't know if there's a fix for that, but it was pretty whimpy .... but other than that, it was perfect. We'd definitely come back again! Thanks for taking good care of us! :-)

Terrible shower water pressure

Beautiful property, location, scenery. It was around 90 degrees the first 2 days and i asked about a fan. I told property management i would have to go to ACE and buy a box fan myself, they never responded or offered to bring one, therefore we bought a $50 box fan. The water pressure in the showers is amost null, to the point it needs attention. Pressure is good in sinks and toilets. Otherwise it was a lovely stay in every other way.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: really nice property, great location. We were lucky that neither neighboring properties were occupied as they are very large and each could have had 10 people. The aerial photo currently being used does not show the new property next door which is very close. Overall a very comfortable home! Used only the downstairs bedroom which was large and fine but it only had a small double bed, could have used a larger bed here. It was great to have a bath with a tub and another bath upstairs with a shower!! Maybe could have used luggage racks. Also could have used detailed instructions on how to work the television and a better lamp in the living room. Thank you for letting us use this amazing house!
