Perfect House

We came with 7 adults and the house was perfect. Exactly how it was described. 3 min. Ride to the beach. The porch was so relaxing to sit in the morning and listen to nature. Will definitely recommend this place to everyone who wants to enjoy the real Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

I like the fact that it was better than the pictures, it had 2 of everything, kitchens, baths, dining rooms etc. all the commodities, beach equipment, you name it it has it. And the host Tatiana was so helpful, anytime that I need it her. I’ll do it again if I go back to Puerto Rico.

Beautiful property

We went to Arecibo to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of my sister in law, and 9 of us, including the happy couple stayed in Casa grande. We rented both sides of the property (Apt. A and B). Since the party was early afternoon the hostess, Tatiana was very kind and made the arrangements so we could enter a bit earlier. Even though at the beginning we had a bit of difficulty trying to access both sides because the connecting door was closed, after several emails and phone calls the problem was solved. The property is amazing. Everything was so clean and well organized! The 5 bedrooms were super spacious. The kitchens were well equiped. The decor was very pleasant. Our favorite part was the deck. We spent the mornings and nights there enjoying the breeze, chatting, sharing and just relaxing. We recommend this place 100%.

Great for a large family

We had an amazing stay at this rental. Super close to entrance to the beach and cueva del Indio. Our host was welcoming and attentive. A little issue with the gate was resolved quickly. We highly recommend staying there and would come back again.

Great house for a big family!!!!

We loved your home!!! The layout of the house is perfect for a large group. The added plus of the second kitchen with washer and dryer was a big help. The outdoor deck was also very comfortable. We will definitely be renting this house again the next trip we take to Puerto Rico!!🇵🇷 Many blessings! The Soto family
