A Colorful Island Retreat in Rio Grande

Welcome to your tropical escape on Puerto Rico’s beautiful east coast! This private, second-story apartment offers golf course views stretching toward Luquillo Beach and El Yunque National Rainforest. With two en-suite bedrooms, a private balcony, and the comforts of home, it’s a welcoming home base for beach days, rainforest adventures, and exploring the island.

Island Character & Everyday Comfort

Colorful murals by local artists, curated island artwork, and vintage Spanish tiles give this apartment its own distinctive Caribbean character. Both bedrooms have air conditioning and private en-suite bathrooms, with a king bed in one room and a queen in the other.

Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, in-unit laundry, Wi-Fi, a separate entrance, and gated parking for added convenience.

Start your morning with a cup of freshly brewed Puerto Rican coffee on the balcony as you take in the tropical scenery. After a day of exploring, unwind to the sounds of coquí frogs and the wildlife that makes this part of Puerto Rico so special.

Explore Puerto Rico’s East Coast

Nature lovers and beachgoers will appreciate the location. El Yunque National Forest is just a 10-minute drive away, while Luquillo Beach and its famous kiosks are a short drive from the apartment. Spend your days discovering rainforest trails, enjoying the coast, sampling local food, and exploring the many attractions of the east side.

A Few Things to Know Before Booking

Hot water: One shower has a conventional hot-water supply. The second relies on solar heating from sun-warmed pipes, so water temperature varies depending on the weather and available sunshine.

Location and road noise: The property is near the road serving Rio Mar Resort and the surrounding condominiums. Some traffic noise may be audible.

Tropical nighttime sounds: Our home is near the foothills of El Yunque, where coquí frogs, lizards, and Puerto Rican owls are part of the natural environment. Nighttime sounds can be noticeable. Sound machines are provided in both bedrooms, and running the air conditioning or a fan may help light sleepers rest more comfortably.

Separate living spaces: The owners live downstairs with their dogs. The upstairs apartment has its own separate entrance and living space.

Extra Services

Make your stay easier with optional services that may be arranged in advance for an additional fee, including airport transportation, grocery pre-stocking, and rides to local attractions. Please inquire about availability and pricing.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the art, natural beauty, and warm hospitality of Puerto Rico’s east coast!

Lovely place to stay in eastern PR

From the bedrooms, we felt like we were in the forest--the coquis sing you to sleep, and in the morning you can have coffee on the balcony while looking across at the sea. El Yunque, Luquillo beach, and good restaurants are minutes away, and other locations like Bioluminescent Bay are easy to get to. Mary and Jeff are friendly, helpful, and responsive hosts. We had a great time here.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mary & Jeff's place. It had everything we needed and more. It could easily accommodate more than just the 2 of us. The view from the balcony is fantastic! I didn't realize how perfectly located it was until we were there; minutes from El Junque & Luquillo. Jeff was great. Laid back and friendly. He was always working on something around the property. He gave us really helpful suggestions for food & exploring (go early to beaches & El Yunque!). The little town of Palmer at the bottom of the hill was charming and had the best food we had during our time in PR. I'm really glad we found and chose to stay here.

Family April Vacation

Though we only stayed for two days and two nights for our week-long visit to Puerto Rico, this was the favorite part of our trip for my husband and I. The location was excellent for being close to restaurants, beautiful beaches in the Luqillo area, and a short ride to the rain forest. Mary was attentive and responsive to our questions about how to optimize our time in the area and the house was extremely well-stocked - including beach towels and chairs along with household items in the kitchen and bathrooms. And I can't say enough about how comfortable the bed was in the turtle room where my husband and I slept - I wanted to take the mattress home with us! We would gladly stay here again, if given the opportunity.

Great views and location!

This is a spacious and artistic rental on the upper floor where you can catch a glimpse of the ocean, the rainforest and the mountains. With large rooms and two bathrooms this was plenty of space for us. Beach accessories chairs and umbrella, and a cooler are included. Gated access for enhanced security and the property owner is very communicative and on-site. The location is close to any and everything: El Yunque, Los Kioskos de Luquillo, several beaches, and even 30 minutes to the ferry to Fajardo where we made a day trip. AC in the bedrooms, but the open floor plan and elevation leave the main area open to ocean breezes all day and night. The rental is very clean with nicer towels and nice touches throughout the unit. We would definitely stay here again.

A lovely stay

Mary is an awesome host. From booking to check out, she was very helpful with suggestions for places to go and overall info on apartment. They literally provided everything you probably forgot at home. And the view!!! It really is next to the rainforest!! You can see the green lush and flowers and mango tree from the bedroom window. Loved the privacy of the gates entrance so we felt safe the entire time! My only suggestion would be a blackout curtain for the living room sliding door. The sun was quite bright and made it difficult to watch tv together during day between outings. Other than that, i would absolutely recommend and stay with them again!!
