Catalina Del Mar

Great communication with host. The house does need some upkeep. Not enough plates for our party of 9 to eat dinner. 2 of the oven burners did not work. The A/C did not work in one of the bedrooms. Lack of hot water in one bathroom and the kitchen. One of the pool tiles was loose and when my son stepped on it he fell into the deep end of the pool. House has good bones, but needs a lot of upkeep. The gate to the beach is barely holding on.

About the host

Hosted by Josefina Bonilla Velez

Host profile image
When I was six, my family moved to Boston. For years, we only vacationed in Puerto Rico, but I inherited my parents' dream of moving back. After visiting Islote, Arecibo with my sons, we bought a home in Puerto Rico and spent summers, vacations, and holidays there.

Today, we share our private oasis with you, hoping you'll fall in love with the salt air and the ocean's embrace, just as we have. We travel back and forth between Islote and Boston.

Why they chose this property

The feeling of pure relaxation and serenity while gazing out at the vast ocean is almost indescribable. It makes everything else seem so much smaller and insignificant.

What makes this property unique

Catalina offers the best of both worlds. You’re close to local eateries, bars, and restaurants, while also enjoying nearly an acre of space for you and your guests
