I am not usually in town, but I'd love meeting and spending time with you when I am. I am always a text or call away!

Our neighborhood is just that; A community of people coming together looking out for one another, and very open to welcoming travelers from all around the world. Many of the locals that you'll meet in this this area don't travel much, so it is just as exciting for them to meet you as it is for you to meet them. Everyone I know is very giving, loving, genuine and humble, which is one of the many things that makes you fall in love with our beautiful island. I grew up visiting these lovely mountains with these amazing locals, and it's an honor and a privilege for me to share this part of the Island with you.

Beautiful Adventure

The property was beautiful, spacious, and clean. The property owner was very responsive when we had issues due to the weather. The one detail I feel should have been emphasized on the VRBO listing is that the water at the house needed to be boiled prior to drinking. We did not realize that was the case until we arrived, and we would have made different arrangements for drinking water had we known.

Absolutely beautiful views and amazing communication

Over the past 10 years, I have stayed in over 100 vacation rentals. Adam's communication is the best I have experienced. I had a 12 person group ages 15-87 and he helped with everything from room configuration, to timing on delivered meals and cleanup, to activities in the area that would be approprate for the entire age range.The views from the terrace were stunning both in the mornings and at sunset. The terrace remained a comfortable temperature all day long. We had a few miscommunications, as will happen any time 12 people with such a wide range of ages get together. Adam was quickly responsive to all of our concerns. The bathrooms all have hot water but it frequently takes a while for the water to heat up. The road to the property is best taken with a car that has significant clearance and I highly recommend going down the road for the first time in daylight. The potholes are large and need to be carefully navigated. Of our 12 people, 7 are over 6 feet tall. There were just enough long beds to accommodate the tall people. That may be the first time I have booked a space where we were able to accommodate every tall person without needing to share spaces in uncomfortable ways. Carmen and her husband were incredibly sweet and punctual. They went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional. Overall, I would highly recommend this space.

Excellent All-Around

Excellent all-around. Outstanding lodging, host, location, facilities, cleanliness, safety, setting, privacy, etc. I could not have been more pleased. Beautiful part of Puerto Rico, a tropical paradise in the mountains, and a good base for exploring the rest of the island. I plan to return. I highly recommend that visitors explore outside of San Juan, and the prettiest beaches are elsewhere. I would give the lodge and the host an A+.

View followed through

The view was as spectacular as advertised. We rented the entire place and had plenty of space for 20 people, mostly adults. This was a super peaceful space for sunrises and sunsets. The swimming hole and waterfall is a bit of a trek downhill, which was a huge hit for the under 50 outdoorsy crowd but not really accessible for the injured and older members of the group. The road up is well paved but quite windy and narrow in places. Having dinner cooked and delivered by locals worked quite well. They were able to accommodate vegan and vegetarians in our groups as well as a nut allergy without a fuss. It made it super easy and no one had to drive up the windy road at night. The kitchen was also sufficiently stocked with pots, pans, appliances, etc. to cook for the group. Overall, recommended for a large group looking for a low-key spot with great views and quiet mornings.

A Very Merry and Sunny Christmas

First - all the reviews are right about our host, he was responsive, even through the holiday, loves the island and really enjoys sharing it with visitors. He spent two hours with us before we even arrived providing us with a list of things to do on the island. And he answered our inquiries in a timely fashion despite Christmas with his family. Second - the place is as immaculate as it is presented in the pictures. And it is the best stocked rental my family has ever rented. All the kitchen items, household items, games, chairs, TV screens one could want. We wanted a non tourist centered visit and though we did a few tourist activities like the bioluminescent bay Adam recommended and a couple of busier beaches overall we enjoyed trying local dishes, shopping in the grocery stores and making new friends. We enjoyed the festivals, the Taino sites, food trucks and local coffee shops. Third - we explored many corners of the island. We had a good time and once we almost mastered the windy road to the place we enjoyed all the property had to offer including the outdoor showers, swimming holes and roped trails. Overall it was a memorable holiday for our entire family.

About the host

Hosted by Adam Garcia

From a young age our respective moms frequently took us to this beautiful island called Puerto Rico. Although our families were from different sides of the island, we share similar stories of hanging out with crazy cousins in the rivers, adventures in the lush mountain surroundings with our brothers and going fishing at the beach with our vociferous uncles. Our fondest memories were/are sitting at the dinner table with our grandparents to hear delightful stories about how life used to be.

Several years ago I was presented with the concept of using my logistics & real estate background hand in hand by owning and/or marketing amazing homes in Puerto Rico. Since then I've been joined by my beautiful girlfriend Cathy and my lovely niece Katryel who both share my love and passion of the island and its delightful culture.

Why they chose this property

Once you complete your reservation, Katryel will send a PDF that you will need to print prior to your arrival. This information includes detailed directions with GPS coordinates, more information about your stay and what we call our Activity Chart with lots of extras. The Activity Chart will help you plan out several days in our area with local spots to enjoy!

Upon arrival to Paradise, Cathy and I take over (mostly through text if you need anything). We, like many of you love to travel, the outdoors, to learn about where people are from, their likes & dislikes, but mostly what made you choose Puerto Rico.

Some of these properties are ours and several are owned by individuals (many elderly) that have trusted us to share their homes with the world using our management and marketing systems. We only work with people who also want you to explore and experience some of our rich and diverse culture. Since many of these owners are elderly and all the homes are in residential areas, I encourage you not to book with us if your are not lovely, clean, honest and respectable.

We are honored you are considering us to help “host a life-time of memories”!!!

Sincerely,
Adam, Cathy & Kat (niece)

What makes this property unique

At most of our properties you can order delicious authentic Puerto Rican meals cooked and delivered right to your home by our family & friends. We offer several eco-friendly adventure tours (fulfilled by local companies), or you can just relax and immerse yourself in the local culture while creating wonderful memories.

We offer the ability to travel and explore the whole island using one of these homes as a base or several during your stay. Doing this will help you better experience our culture, and the islands’ delightful people. Our hope is that you fall in love with this enchanted island as much as we have.
