Coqui Town - Private Pool Oasis Near Beaches, Caves & Waterfalls

10/10 Excellent
"We rented this property because it was close to the location of a family party. I have nothing negative to say about this place. It was everything it is in the listing and more! Once you step in, it’s so clean and you can tell it’s well maintained. Everything was thoughtfully decorated, minimal, but still cozy. We literally needed nothing more than what we had brought in our luggage. The kitchen had more than the basics as well as the bathroom. The pool was perfect size and depth, and the water was heated, which was really nice. The gazebo was also very comfortable. There is a bit of noise coming from the highway close by, but there are white noise machines in the rooms that are placed to drain it out. The washer and dryer are a plus as we were so happy to leave with clean clothes. The property was also close to everything, we visited a local beach that was so beautiful. Also lots of places to purchase food. The host lives upstairs, and is very responsive to all calls and messages. I loved this place so much I would stay here again and I will be referring it to all my friends and family as well."
