My family loved staying at the Garden Hideaway in Luquillo. Sitting on the couch swing and listening to the birds in the morning, and the coquis chirp in the evening in the open-air living space. It is a perfect location to visit the beach AND the rainforest.
The idea is a good idea provided you get the whole house. The downstairs area needs to be screened in as the mosquitoes were very bad and the coils didnât help. We found out the kitchen sink leaks, after the bowl under it overflowed all over the floor and it became a slip hazard for my elderly parents. The window in the bathroom does not open or close and has a hole in it stuffed with a paper towel. Which would not have been an issue if people did not walk by that window to enter and exit the upstairs unit. The outside washing machine does not work. There are also a lot of rocks, broken stones and broken bricks next to the outside kitchen as well as the walkway leading to the yard. Mary the hostess is fantastic and when we message her about directions to the house or questions, she answered immediately every time. With some updating and work the house would be awesome. The location is close to everything without the hassle of dealing with heavy traffic. Finally the photos need to be updated.
Mary was welcoming and very responsive. My daughter and I stayed for three nights in this beautiful open air apartment The apartment is spacious and comfortable with hot showers and an excellent swinging couch in the main living area. Its an easy drive to beaches, El Yunque and lots of restaurants. This place was a highlight of our weeklong tour of the island. We also appreciated hearing of Mary's involvement with rescuing island dogs. Our pet Tilly was adopted from Milagros Para Satos from Yuaco. We would love to return (and bring the family!)
My friends and I took my 18 year old cousin to PR as a graduation present and we could not have stayed at a better location ! The house was wonderful! It was clean and the host responded in a timely manner. Would definitely go back there !
Mary & Jeff were excellent hosts. Very clean and unique home. The bed was so comfortable and slept well every night. Loved listening to all the nature sounds. Felt very safe staying here. There were people staying in the unit above us but never heard them, very well insulated.
We loved our stay! Perfect getaway tucked away inbetweem La Playa and El Yunque.Instructions are clear abd straightforward if you read ahead. Step by step Instructions clariefed any questions throughout the process. Our only issues was too many keys for two rooms. Other than that everything worked perfectly and we are extremely satisfyied.
My 17 year old daughter and I stayed here for 3 nights and did not want to leave! The outdoor space is beautiful and the bedrooms are better in person then the pictures. There were beach chairs and a cooler to use which was so nice when going to the beach (less than 10 minutes away). There is so much in the area but the neighborhood is nice and quiet and feels remote. We will definitely be back!!
We had a great time at the hideaway garden. The accommodations were quite comfortable and we almost finished the puzzle! It was a little buggy after the rain but bug spray and insect repellent were provided.
Such a unique property! I wish our stay here could have been longer. The pics are mostly accurate; the only difference would be that the kitchen is not as new looking as the pics. The beds & baths were great, very comfy and cold a/c. This place was the only place we stayed that you could drink the tap water!My only warning to other renters - one night we went for a walk around the neighborhood (its gated and overall very nice). Going up the hill a dog came racing down at us, barking & clearly in attack mode. The owner eventually came out saying he didnt bite, but it was pretty scary at the time. I dont want that to sway your reason to book, but just be aware!!
We had such a wonderful stay in Luquillo! The property was perfect, in a quiet neighborhood but close to all the action. We LOVED the outdoor kitchen/living area. I was initially nervous about mosquitos, but they were not an issue. We were able to explore the rainforest and go to the beach during our four day stay - both are equally as close. There are plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby.Mary was a great host, very responsive and helpful. We cannot wait to return to lovely Luquillo!
The rental in a comfortable and quiet access controlled community that is conveniently near the beach and national forest. Great for a family get away. The open area for the kitchen, dining and entertaining is unique and comfortable. I highly recommend contacting the property manager with any questions you have. They are really nice people and were very helpful during our stay. Some really nice surprises came with the stay that were enjoyed by the whole family.
LOVED this place! We only had a reservation for two nights but wished we had spent our whole stay in Puerto Rico here. We love nature and the open living space was incredible. Each evening was spent swinging on the living room swing listening to nature singing to us! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. And it was conveniently located to the rainforest and wonderful beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Will definitely book again when we return to Puerto Rico!
