We are 2 miles from Carabalí Rainforest Adventure Park, and just 4 miles from the park entrance of El Yunque National Forest - the only tropical rainforest in the US National Park Service!
Enjoy access to everything from our centrally located home. Then, after you've dusted off the fine sand from the beach where you soaked for hours in the bathtub calm warm ocean or boogie boarded with the rest of 'em in a wavier spot, sipped your piña colada, walked among giant rainforest leaves, had your hydro-message under tropical waterfalls and cooled off in the drop pools, indulged in local seafood & taken in a bit of the culture, return to relax and enjoy the security and comforts of our home away from home. Our Solar-Powered, spacious, and well appointed accommodations afford you comfort and tranquility.
Sip your morning coffee watching the sunrise over the beach from our balcony, take in the hilltop water views under our awnings out front on the exterior, or conversely, enjoy a cool drink out back and watch the rolling hills of El Yunque turn golden crowned by pink and orange clouds in the evening light. At night, you'll also catch all the firework displays in our area (from periodic full-blown resort shows to neighborhood fanfare) from our hilltop perch.
In our two full kitchens you’ll find all the cook's best friends - new appliances, proper utensils and flatware, and everything you’ll need should you choose to dine-in and/or cook. Spread out on our large expandable dining room table upstairs (seats 8) and enjoy the sea view, crack open a good book over coffee downstairs in the built-in booth or use one of the other three other dining tables we have available. If your preference is dining al fresco, our covered outdoor patio can accommodate seating for 10 with lovely countryside views of El Yunque as well the sea.

*PLEASE NOTE*
*Our neighborhood is zoned "rural" and our neighbors have dogs, horses and chickens, some in the back even have cows, goats and donkeys. We provide complementary ear plugs and white noise machines for light sleepers, but light sleepers should keep in mind that coqui frogs and roosters sing their songs here at night.
*Uber and a few local taxi companies service our area, but availability can be sporadic and wait times typically range from 5 to 15 minutes, sometimes more. There is no public transportation in our area. We live at the top of a large hill, so walking down to the beach is easy-peasy, walking back up not so much... Having a car here is strongly recommended.*
