Humacao, Humacao
New Kitchen and Kayaks! Our spacious, fully equipped waterfront beach house in Humacao welcomes you to the Caribbean with the accessibility and security of the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. Enjoy a unique experience living right on a sandy beach, where the gentle sound of waves lulls you to sleep and will also greet you in the morning as the sun rises over the ocean. You'll love the huge balcony (12 x 50ft.) overlooking the ocean for breakfast, dinner, and watch the clear night sky over the water. When you are ready for activity, take the kayaks to the nearby islet, swim on the shallow beach, hike up to El Morillo for a killer view, then get amazing fresh seafood - its a fishing village! The house has A/C in all 4 bedrooms and is located in a quiet, 2-mile sandy beach, yet you will be 10 minutes to world class golf, casino, restaurants; 20 min. from Fajardo for day-sailing to other islands, or take a kayak trip at the Phosphorescent Bay. 15 min. to surfing beach El Cocal. 10 minutes to Humacao Nature Preserve.
Incl.: Washer/Dryer, Weber Grill, Completely remodelled kitchen(5 burners, dual oven, granite island) towels & linens, 48in. flat TV with cable TV and internet broadband wifi and with DVD player.
We had two adult couples, two older adults, and one teenager. The size of the beach house worked great for us. I would rate the rental borderline between 3 and 4 stars. The kitchen and supplies were good. The rooms were good to okay. The linens on my daughter's bed were a little musty and we washed them the morning of our second day. The washer and dryer are nice and were used for clothes also. The beach toys/equipment were nice. We used the boogie boards more than the kayaks. The beach was covered in seaweed which was unfortunate but what can you do? The thing about that that I did not like was that a lot of organic material was stirred up in the water so it was dark and not the clear blue water that I had hoped for. I can't fault the rental for this but it is good to know if you are looking into staying here. A few things need a little maintenance, nothing big, some of the windows do not open, door handles are loose, etc. The location worked well for us. We took a trip to Vieques for the bio bay and also road horses while we were over there. The ferry is close and inexpensive. We also did a zipline tour at El Yunque rainforest. The main room gets a little warm even with everything open (no AC) and we are from Texas. The bedrooms cool down and we had no trouble sleeping. We caught baby iguanas from the lot next door. My daughter played with them and we put them back :) I would stay here again.
We LOVED the location right on the beach. However, there were many little things that made our stay less than perfect. First, there were no instructions on how to work the master bath shower; feather pillows on all beds were flat and made me sneeze all night; one bed was broken and held up by a cinder block; the single square fan had a broken blade; light bulbs were burnt out; a window pane randomly shattered one morning; but most irksome was when the power went out and we tried to reach the owner to ask about a generator or candles or any alternative light source- owners were very slow to respond, no generator (on an island!!), no candles, and the single flashlight they said we could use had dead batteries. Other than these things, the beds were comfortable, the view was unbeatable, the ocean breeze was amazing, and the location relative to activities and other beaches was just right.
The property was exactly the same as the description and quiet ad peaceful. Hope to be able to enjoy and have a chance to stay again
Let me first start by saying that the description of the property is accurate. Everything you see listed, is there. Everything you need while at the house, is there. Now, if you're accustomed to staying in resorts (as we are), YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED! Let's just say, the photographer that took the pictures for this property earned every dime. The beds were very comfortable, however the bedroom with the bunkbeds smells moldy. The window sill in the back bathroom is filthy, moldy, or both. The patio overlooking the beach is where we spent most of our time. The rails are broken due to corrosion in some spots so be careful when leaning against them. The Beach.....utter disappointment. We woke up with plans for a morning walk and were again reminded this ain't no resort. The trash and garbage to the right of the property is disgusting. The opposite direction isn't bad;but not every owner takes care of their property. The house sits at the end of the block and people were driving back there to access the beach. Not Cool. The neighborhood - well let's say it might not be a good idea to walk around after dark. There are small neighborhood restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. Good food, nice people. You will want to brush up on your Spanish to make ordering easier. Overall, my family had a good time as we always do. The property didn't affect that. It just wasn't what we're used to, and based on the photos, expecting more...shall I say, polish.
Communication with the host was excellent, and he worked to solve our issues quickly, That said, we did walk into the aftermath of a break-in which just meant broken glass near one window and some dresser drawers pulled out—not a big deal and somewhat common in Puerto Rico. The only thing apparently missing was an XBox. It was solved the next day, and there were no further issues. We used all three kayaks available to get to La Isla de Mono (Monkey Island) which was awesome! It took at least an hour to get there due to paddling directly against the wind. It takes less than half an hour to get back. The waves are small so any amateur could break through the surf. Groceries, kiosks and bars are within walking distance. It’s also within a one hour drive of Ceiba (water tours), Fajardo (bio bay) and San Juan. Would stay here again.
The house was clean, location as described. We loved the view and the house was well maintained. Would love to come back again and use more of the amenities. An upgrade of fans in the great room would be helpful since there is no air in that area. (The mattresses in the bunk room need updating- something I was told after our stay by my adult kids.) Staff that arrived to clean on our way out were so pleasant and kind. Owner responded to a text right away.
We had a great time, lots of napping and reading and boardgames, house has everything you could need and beautifully located, although the beach had a lot of stuff washed up on it since we were just weeks post the hurricane. We had a hiccup on checking in, but everything else was stellar. Would absolutely come back.
Good location. Had everything needed for a beach day too which saved us from having to buy a cooler and chairs. Great communication with the owner too. No fans out back and it does get hot but that's what cold beverages are for. Would stay again.
Had a nice time at the house. Beautiful views of the ocean.
Our family felt like we were at home in your house. The location was perfect for us to see other places on the island, and helped us decide that the beach by the house was the best beach we encountered on our trip. We are all looking forward to next spring, and spending more beautiful fun filled days on the beach.
