Eric was a fantastic host, he made sure we had directions to excellent near by restaurant and beautiful places to visit, he went above and beyond. He made sure we were comfortable and happy. I will definitely visit again and I want to stay at his place, and I will be recommending his place to my coworkers.

We had a great stay for 11 days here. House was clean; had everything we needed and we loved the jacuzzi. We enjoyed the kayaks, sounds of the Coqui frogs, and iguanas in the backyard. We enjoyed going to Rincon and its beaches (about 15min.), Cabo Rojo and the bioluminescent bay (about one hour each) and Finca La Providencia for a tour of their cocoa farm (about 20 min.). The one downside during our stay was that it had rained quite a bit in the mountains and the sediment, along with some drift wood collected at the beach that is within walking distance of the house, so we weren't able to swim there. It led to us exploring other beaches though. Eric was great to communicate with and quickly took care of the couple of issues that arose during our stay.

If you’re looking to spend time outside, this is an excellent choice! If you hate iguanas, don’t pick this one.We thoroughly enjoyed the yard, the multiple porches/patios, the kayaks, the hot tub and the plants! Breakfast on the river patio, lunch on the hot tub deck, dinner on the front porch, games on the back porch… iguanas and frogs (toads?) provided entertainment, in addition to birds and butterflies and the little gecko/anolls also running around. Surprisingly few bugs! About the inside- its a simple 2bedroom/1 bath main house, the other bathroom is entirely outside and is the “outside shower”, so 2 showers and 2 toilets total. A/C units in each bedroom but not the main part. The kitchen was reasonably functional with the expected random assortment of goods commonly found in a vacation rental. We regularly found not-so-clean things in the cupboards and drawers so we eventually just washed everything before we used it. I think thats probably a challenge with the cleaner instead of the host, but it wasn’t…awesome.Our challenge was that not all he advertised beds were usable. The queen was fine and the bunk beds were fine although labeled with a weight restriction of 165lbs on the top bunk. Neither the top or bottom trundle bed was usable due to missing hardware. We let the host know about the trundle beds problem and he said he would have it fixed, but if those are important to your stay, maybe double check functionality before booking.

The host Eric was so kind and welcoming, very helpful with suggestions on where to go, local attractions and restaurants. The beach was a short walk away (only a few minutes), and it was nice to come and go as we needed. The backyard was full of plants and it felt like a little sanctuary - it has a really nice porch to hang out on during a rainstorm. I would definitely recommend it and would go back again. We really enjoyed our stay!
