We loved our stay! The pool was amazing! The views were beautiful! The fruit trees were awesome. Try the passion fruit! 😋 Close to tons of things to do but far enough away to feel like you are on your own private paradise. Sam was an awesome host and even made us breakfast after our long day of traveling. Thank you Sam! 😊

We loved our stay at this hidden treasure near El Yunque National Forest! The view and the gardens are incredible! It was fun cooking in the outdoor kitchen and Sam was such a nice host. The apartment was very comfortable too. We feel very lucky that we had the opportunity to stay here!

We booked three nights at this awesome property but ended up returning on our last day for a 4th night. The owner Sam was more than accommodating with this request and his communication with us was fantastic. Sam was also the best host we've ever had at a rental and added to our enjoyment of staying here. He showed us everything growing on the property (there's a lot), helped us pick fresh fruit, made fresh smoothies for us, gave a us local advice and was simply a joy to hang out with. He seemed more like a good friend than the property owner. No worries though as Sam isn't the type who will impose on people who want solitude but we enjoyed his company and were very up front about that. As far as the property itself...it's simply a little slice of tropical paradise. It's in a beautiful setting just outside of El Yunque National Park, has about every type of tropical fruit and plants you could imagine, is secluded yet close to San Juan, has views of the ocean in the distance and the mountains on the other side. Simply stated it's just spectacular and my wife commented that after 10 years together I finally brought her to a place she loves. We loved it so much that we are already planning a return trip. The apartment has everything we needed and although there were just two of us there's enough space for 4 people if needed and we are planning on bringing our young adult kids next time. The outdoor kitchen is also a great touch. I could go on and on about how great this property is but will leave it at this..for our future trips we will plan the dates around when Sam's place is available. We enjoyed everything about it and gained a new friend in Sam as well. We can't thank him enough for the genuine hospitality he showed us but I suspect this is something everyone who stays here would agree with.

We spent a week here in April 2021. The grounds are absolutely stunning, with manicured tropical gardens around the entire premises, including many fruit varieties including papaya, bananas, passion fruit, cherry, sugar cane, and much more. The pool was the perfect temperature, and the trickle of the waterfall at the edge added to the experience. The outdoor kitchen was one of my favorite aspects, where we cooked daily with the large barbecue grill, full cookware, outdoor sync, herb gardens and seating bar. The downstairs apartment is small but is all we needed since we didn't spend much time indoors. Sleeping at night was so comfortable. I always need A/C, but the cool breeze at night in the mountains was refreshing and I never once missed not having it. The view from the property, with the ocean off in the distance, is stunning, and is perfectly picture framed between palm trees on the property. And then there is Sam - one of the best VRBO hosts we've had. He went out of his way to make sure our stay was enjoyable, whether that was lending us a beach umbrella, or making us a sugar cane and passion fruit cocktail from his sugar cane mill. We fell in love with this property, and we'll definitely be back. Thank you Sam!!!

My family and I had best time staying here, we are so grateful to Sam for sharing his home with us. The pool is very clean and the temperature is just right, not too cold or too hot, ,which we loved. The view from the pool is amazing and the gardens are just beautiful. The location of this house is ideal since you can go to the river, the beach and/or El Yunque. We would love to stay here again some other time.

Our stay was amazing. Everything about the property is completely accurate. Beautiful views, the garden had so much fruit to pick and eat! Sam was an exceptional host. He introduced us to friends and gave the best advice on which beaches to seek out. The neighborhood was in a nice area up in the mountains, and we did not have any problems finding our way around. The outdoor kitchen and grill were so fun to use, the pool was warm and Sam keeps it very clean. 100% plan to return for our next vacation. Sam, thank you again for your hospitality!

We had a great stay at La Sirena, our caretaker Papalote was amazing, and the views are fanatastic! We spent an entire morning exploring the gardens - beautiful! We will definitely be returning!
