Very cute little garage apartment, with an actual garage to keep your car cool and out of the afternoon heat. There was an inflatable bed in addition to the bed in the bedroom, so we were able to make two very comfortable sleeping areas. Kitchen had everything that we needed and we were able to cook small meals to save on eating out each day. This property is in a neighborhood and we felt very safe taking a morning walk, neighbors were friendly. No WI-FI was a bit of an issue, but we didn’t come to PR to watch tv, so it was fine.Would highly recommend this property.

2 nights without hot water. Croqui frogs, chicken noisy.
We loved staying in this cute little home. Super cozy. It was very close to everything we wanted to do. Conveniently located near the grocery store also! What a cute neighborhood. We will be back!
Loved the property, but it was hard to find. There was no actual address so that we knew when we found it. We arrived late 3:00 am, and did not have any cell service, so that didn't help. We ended up going to a gas station for wifi and taking a picture from the VRBO app so we knew what it looked like and finally found it!! Great place to land each night after our adventures.
Very clean basic no air conditioning heat was miserable couldn't get in because couldn't unlock the door waiting from midnight sitting in car because she didn't answer the phone or CK text would not recommend or stay here again

Unfortunately we were not aware that the communication for this reservation required a vrbo account. We had trouble getting information for access to the property. Expedia was helpful. The photo of the beach is very misleading. The property is in a residential subdivision with poor street identification. No where near the beach. Thank God for GPS. We appreciated the garage.
The bed was crammed into the corner which made access a little inconvenient. I would suggest a different room arrangement. No Wifi. and the TV did not appear to be hooked up to cable or DVD.
While the symphony of frogs and roosters added a tropical flavor to our stay... Getting to sleep took a little longer!
