Amazing property and location!
The VRBO description undersells the property! The Caribbean Sea is steps away - nothing between the house and the beach. The beach is virtually private and the water is warm. Arroyo has fantastic restaurants within a couple of blocks (easy walk) and a large grocery store (called Pueblo) within a mile as well as a smaller store about 5 blocks away. It's touristy on the weekends but the tourists are Puerto Ricans - you won't find a lot of folks from elsewhere. Very authentic. The locals are extremely friendly and many have ties to the 48 states. Many have some English but you'd do well to brush up on your Spanish! You'll be fine either way.My family of 9 adults stayed December 29, 2024, through January 7, 2025. Check-in was easy - Glenda Sanchez (the host) was very accessible. The house has two separated (separate entry) floors with a kitchen and full bath on each floor. There's another full bath outside in another small adjacent building (within the walled complex); the building also contains a laundry room (washer/dryer).We had a great time; various members of our party went to the hot springs, the El Yunque rain forest, the bioluminescent bay on the east coast, the adventure park (ATVs and horseback riding), and salsa dancing!The weekends are amazing - crowds come to the Boardwalk (just west on the beach, music plays, people eat, drink and dance)! But the house is relatively quiet, even though close. If you don't mind the roosters - they get up around 5am!
