This property was exactly what we wanted for our visit to Puerto Rico. Privacy with an amazing outdoor shower and hot tub. Our host was so responsive and helpful with local suggestions. The neighborhood felt very safe. It was very humid during our stay so the air conditioner in the bedroom couldn't keep up, but the big fan really helped. We would definitely stay again, no question!

Know that the bedroom is tiny. Does have AC TV. This place is good for someone that likes the outdoors….because it’s mostly outdoors, upstairs with Mother Nature. Nice fun small Hot Tub. Large cooking area and very private and clean.No problems checking in. We had fun touring, sightseeing and eating at the Kiosks.

Great location in Luquillo

I had a chance to explore the island on my own after a work week in San Juan. This is an excellent balance to that - in a nice, suburban neighborhood away from the bustle of the city. Great location near Luquillo (beaches and kiosks), Fajardo, El Yunque, etc. Jay is an excellent host, made sure I had lots of information about the surrounding area. The space is your own outdoor patio with enclosed bedroom - fun space and nice to enjoy the outdoors. I would stay here again.

What can I say? 🏅

Not going to lie, it’s hard giving this a perfect review because more people are going to find out about one of the most beautiful and relaxing gems in the island of Puerto Rico. Staying here was everything I desire and needed, to be able to relax by yourself in a secluded area but allow you to be free was so good. My host was incredible and gave amazing suggestions. This place is the best I’ve stayed in a very long time. I highly recommend.

Peaceful Retreat Near the Beach and Rainforest

Our stay at Jay’s Home by the Beach and Rainforest Couples Retreat was a wonderful experience. The property is in a perfect location — close to both the beach and beautiful hiking spots in the rainforest. The home itself was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.We did experience a couple of minor issues during our stay: the hot tub was leaking and would drain overnight, and a decorative painting outside had fallen. However, we were very impressed with how quickly everything was handled — both issues were fixed the very next morning while we were out hiking, without any disruption to our plans.Overall, we had a fantastic stay and really appreciated the quick and thoughtful communication from the host. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable escape.

Outdoor Amazement!

This property is one of the coolest places we have ever stayed at. The outdoor layout is like nothing we've ever seen before. The view from the place is amazing. Shower is outside but very private. You have seating areas, hammocks, even a jacuzzi! The bedroom and toilet area are under cover and protected. We felt safe and had a great time. Our host Jay was very helpful with all kinds of great information as to what to do and where to eat in the area. Thanks Jay! Also, you can't beat the price per night. If you are not picky and need a cool place to sleep and hang out at night after a day full of adventure, this place is for you!Goodplace forrchips two A and adventurous

Unique creative space

I came for a mother-daughter trip. Just as is pictured, a really cool spot the owner has created, an outdoorsy space. It even rained the first day or two and it wasn't that bad, since temps are so enjoyable in PR. If you like camping, you'll love it here. In what I'd say is an average middle class neighborhood, some nice places, some not as nice, but that's average, so don't be a snob :) Jay was so great to work with. He made recommendations right away and was super responsive! He realy takes pride in his rentals. I hope to be back!

A haven for outdoor comforts.

Jays place was so perfect I almost don't want to write this review in fear others will book it when I want to return. Lol All jokes aside Jay was an amazing host that gave us countless restaurant suggestions (the ribs were the highlight of my trip) he also was kind enough to help with any questions or requests we had. The place has a perfect view of the ocean and the rainforest. It was a nice outdoor shower a seperate bathroom and all the comforts you could need in a room. The outdoor living space was so relaxing even in the rain. The best part was a hot tub very well put together with views of the stars yet privacy from others. Inwould recommend Jays spot to anyone that wants to truly live like a local on vacation you'll find everything you need there!

Great Host, Amazing Experience

First off !!! Jay is a great host. He made our trip a better experience. The flat we stayed in, is definitely for people who enjoy the outdoor experience. My wife and I were celebrating our first anniversary and Jay’s flat was the perfect base to have a true Puerto Rico experience. Luquillo is a unique experience and there are things to do from morning until late at night. We loved the outdoor shower, and the uniqueness of the outdoor flat. Yes mosquitos and flies can be an issue, but they didn’t really bother us. If you want to visit Culebra or Vieques islands using the FERRY make sure to get your tickets a few days in advance at the FERRY terminal in CEIBA at least two days before you plan on going. Amazing trip we loved the outdoor experience at Jay’s.

Rainforest retreat

We really did love staying here. The bed was very comfortable and we slept soundly. The outdoor shower was my favorite part. We did not cook, but the kitchen would have been suitable for anything we wanted to prepare.Unfortunately the water went out during our stay due to an issue at the local pumping station. This was no fault of the host’s. There was a slight delay in hearing back from Jay about the issue, but once he noticed my message he was very communicative until the problem was resolved.The reason for my redacting one star is because the hot tub was out of order during our stay. With the water also being out, having the hot tub to comfortably rinse off the salt water would have made the trouble much more comfortable. Jay acknowledged that the heat pump for the hot tub had long outlived its expected lifespan. I am sure it has been replaced since our stay, but I was still disappointed that no one noticed the hot tub was not working before we arrived, especially since it was known that the heat pump was on it’s last leg.Overall, I would consider staying here again. I really enjoyed the outdoor living area with a secure/enclosed sleeping area. The location was very good.
