My family of 7 had a wonderful stay! The home was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was also very convenient to have a washer and dryer. The home was laid out so well and it was very spacious. And did I mention how clean this place was. The bathrooms were top notch… laid out well with beautiful tile work! Clean, clean, clean and no mold!We spent our evenings playing cards outside on the very spacious and private covered porch. The host was super responsive and kind! Also very accessible for those who can not do stairs or steps…. 0 entry. My son is in a manual wheelchair and was able to be 100% independent! Highly recommended!
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.
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%.
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.
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!

I will start with just perfect.Our host Tatiana was awesome. I text her for a question and she called me within a minute.The house had it all.I will stay again. a
The surrounding area is largely undeveloped. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but it's good to know beforehand. Also, there's a house down the road next to the neighbor's house that appears abandoned, but someone is actually living inside a large empty container or trailer.
Upon observing a few places in the house where the wall meets the floor and the kitchen ceiling, it seemed to me that the house had suffered significant water damage at some point and was repainted to conceal it.
We encountered some cleanliness issues, and the original listing included "hot tub" as an amenity. I messaged through the VRBO app, and Owner Tatiana responded dismissively, implying we fabricated the issue because her cleaners always perform well.
The worst part was that she updated the listing and removed "hot tub," responding arrogantly, stating, "We never advertised the house as having a hot tub." This is definitely not true; my son has a screenshot of the original listing clearly showing "hot tub" listed under amenities.
This was a clear and blatant lie and dishonest behavior. I prefer not to deal with people like that.
