Casa Salinas | Spacious Waterfront Home with Pool

Summary:

We would love to host you at any of our properties. Please find property details below, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions before booking!



The Space:

Casa Salinas is a fresh and spacious oceanfront home in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. This contemporary waterfront home can sleep up to 12 guests in 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. You and your group will love the amazing ocean views, private saltwater pool, and direct access to Bahía Salinas. The decor is "beachy," and there is plenty of space for large groups to gather and enjoy the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Other highlights include a charcoal grill, exposed concrete details, AC in all bedrooms, ample parking, and washer and dryer.



ACCESS TO THE BAY: Casa Salinas offers direct access to Bahía Salinas. The bay has a sandy shore but once you enter the water the sea bed becomes muddy. The shore is perfect for sunbathing but if you want to go for a swim or wade in the water we recommend you drive 5 minutes to Playa Sucia which has a sandy bottom.

🪜 STAIR ACCESS ONLY: The entrance to the home is located on the second level and is accessible via stairs only.



🌿 NATURAL SETTING: This property is located within the Cabo Rojo National Refuge, home to diverse ecosystems including hypersaline lagoons, mangrove forests, and subtropical forests.
