About this property

Hideaway with Wraparound Balcony: Beautiful Views, Great Vibes, Family Friendly

Your Private space (3000sq feet) is a bright and spacious second level unit in a two unit house. You will have access through the Private Entrance up the stairs on the back side of the house. We are Located in a gated community just minutes from several of the island's most beautiful beaches and El Yunque Rainforest.

*The other unit is downstairs and smaller, accommodating up to 4 ppl, it is called "Garden Hideaway". It is available for whole house rentals sleeping up to 14 people.

Come live on "Island Time" with fun coastal décor and ocean views. Be enchanted by the song of the Coqui while you relax on the balcony on the porch swing, or lounging in the Adirondack chairs. A peaceful and fun trip for the whole family!

Shared spaces on the property are - the patio with the laundry, and the side yard next to the house. Take a walk in the yard and find, coconuts, passion fruit and avocados when in season.

When inside you will find a ton of space for everyone with two large bedrooms both having King size beds, a fun and unique built in bunk room with 4 twin beds. There is an extra large living area and dining area combined equipped with a large television, a game table, a pool table and a long family dining table. And as you enter the living space you will see the large kitchen to your left with a large island for gathering and cooking and lots of storage space, and two sinks.

Then head outside and enjoy the large wrap around balcony with beautiful views of the neighborhood and peak-a-boo views of Luquillo and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Listen to the sounds of the rain forest, like some Endemic Birds (found only in Puerto Rico) and the song of the Coqui. There are also some free roaming chickens and roosters as well as the neighbors flock. You may also see some local Iguana's and the neighborhood cats roaming about.

The kitchen is fully stocked with what you need for cooking, as well as added amenities like oils and spices and all the cutlery ad pots and pans to make some delicious meals for you and your friends or family.

Mary, the manager, lives on island and is there to help you have a wonderful vacation. Feel free to text her with any questions.

*please be aware There is another vacation rental in the lower part of the home for small (2-4) groups of people (Garden Hideaway), it has a separate parking area and separate entrance.

A lovely home base

The hosts were wonderful, and we enjoyed our stay as a base for visiting El Yunque and Old San Juan. The backyard avocado tree was a highlight. Check out the restaurants and shops in nearby Palmer - Degree 18 and Bungalu were fantastic, and several gift shops there were as good as/better than many in San Juan.

Above and beyone

As I drove my 4 girls towards the property, they were more and more anxious because their surroundings were not like home, but once we got inside they (and I) were thrilled. It was so spacious and had everything we needed. If a place has enough towels, you know they just know what is needed! The gate didn't work when we arrived and Mary sent Jeff over in a jiffy (15 minutes) to get us in and he drove us straight to the property since we were in late and it was dark. The next morning we slept in and Jeff had left fresh avocados on our doorstep from the tree outside. You definitely need a car if you are staying at the property - everything is accessible but takes a 15-30 minute drive to get to; farther to San Juan. Neighborhood chickens woke us up each morning, which I found endearing, but bring earplugs or white noise if you will not find it so lovely. We didn't run the A/C at all while we were away and it kept a nice temperature inside. The kitchen supplies, bathroom supplies, and beach supplies were more than we expected or needed. We always felt safe and private at the house. A wonderful stay!Notes for host: You're short on spoons and cereal/soup bowls.

Parents grandparents and kids

All together there were 7 of us. 3 kids. Parents and grandparents. We really liked the place quiet and private. Private entrance to the neighborhood. Really liked the height ceilings and space. Some nice amenities in the bathrooms and big kitchen and living area and balcony. Everyone enjoyed themselves. There are wild roosters in the area that can be load somedays but if u make sure and turn the fan on the white noise will drown them out. The roosters are around the island so I thinks it’s an issue everywhere. We went around the whole island to beaches and bio bay and fishings rainforest etc. favorite beach was probably jonos which is on the other side. Cabo Rojo was my favorite but since hurricanes a few years ago there’s no way to drive to it. Luquillo beach is maybe 10 mins from the house and has food music and is ok but kids loved Azul beach which is only 5 mins away. So great for young kids just wanting to biggie board. It’s perfect. Clean and wide area of low depth beach with fun waves. We had the best time of the trip there.

Excellent stay…perfect location!

We traveled to Puerto Rico over the holidays with our family (three kids ages 10-17) and this place was perfect for us. We had to navigate the island-wide power outage, but there was a solar battery backup which was huge. Mary and Jeff were also flexible in allowing us to come a day early. We also ended up staying a day late to avoid a winter storm on the back end! Their restaurant recommendations were fantastic — we tried Bungalu, La Fonda, and Mi Vida and all were great. And this location was perfect for all the activities we had planned (rain forest, beaches, bio bay, fishing trip, day trip to Culebra). Definitely recommend staying here!

Wonderful stay with family

Our family ages 8-50+ stayed for a week in the top floor, 3bed, 2 bath unit. The home was clean and spacious. Lots of natural light and great views. The location is in a quiet gated community but a short drive to anything you can think of and so many beaches. The beds are very comfortable . The gas grill worked well. Everything was perfect except the washer dryer appliances. The dryer did dry. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful place to stay to enjoy Puerto Rico!

The property was beautiful, exactly as in the photos! Being lulled to sleep by the Coqui frogs is what I'll miss! The property was clean and inviting and stocked with everything we needed. From hand soap to cooking pans, from coolers to sand chairs, we were well taken care of! The property managers, Mary and Jeff were accommodating and quick to answer our questions. We will recommend staying here to everyone who will listen!

Nice Stay

Great hosts, very responsive to questions and support throughout our stay. The home was just what we were looking for. It was very spacious and a good place for young children to play. It was wonderful to be nearby El Yunque and just a short drive from the beaches and Old San Juan. Some of the outside amenities at the home need attention as they were not really in usable condition (the washer/dryer, which was critical to us as parents of small children; less critical, the outdoor grill was not usable). Gate was only closed 1/6 days we were there, so if you're looking for a gated community, it was inconsistent, though we always felt safe.

Awesome Open Apartment

The condo itself is amazing. You get the entire upper floo. Wide open floor plan. Super comfy beds. Clean as can be. We were able to check in a little early which helped with toddlers nap time. Balcony is to die for. My only con, was that it wasn't really "gated" as the gate was stuck open all but one time we had to enter. Not a deal breaker for my group, but something to be aware of if your concerned about safety. The neighborhood felt safe enough to us without the gate.

Perfection in a rental property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Happy Hour Hideaway. Everything was as described. The house is very comfortable and incredibly spacious. We had everything we needed and loved the views from every corner. It was a perfect quiet location near everything. Restaurants, beaches, the Rainforest and a night out in San Juan were extremely easy to do. We had great communication from the hosts. Will definitely stay again when we come back to Puerto Rico.
