Great place to explore west coast

We visited family members located in different parts of the island's western side, and this place worked out perfectly. It was perfect for unwinding after a long day of driving and visiting. We would definitely book again for a return trip.

Amazing getaway in puerto rico

My wife and our 4 kids found this property and booked for a week. We were blown away with it. It’s a fantastic house with a great back yard and pool area. Within 25 minutes of so many great places, and we got to do almost everything we wanted to. Our host was amazing with communication, gave some suggestions that we went with and accommodated our every need. Would gladly book again and recommend to anyone who’s looking for a family friendly (or any!) getaway.

Perfect retreat

Owners were very communitive. They provide all the extra stuff you need on vacation, like a sunshade and chairs. In the past, we either rented or bought our own. The pool area is fantastic, it's a little retreat with private landscaping—5 min from the grocery store and 15-20 minutes to multiple beaches.

Good Stay with a Few Caveats

As a family of five, we found the house to be clean and comfortable. Its convenient location, with good driving proximity and access to shopping centers and beautiful beaches, was a major plus. The pool was a definite highlight. However, we did encounter a few drawbacks. The lack of air conditioning in the living/dining room was quite noticeable. Additionally, the absence of a dishwasher made cleanup more time-consuming than expected. While Sandy was very responsive to our inquiries, the house rules seemed overly restrictive and time-consuming for a short vacation. Overall, the house is a decent option for a family vacation but be prepared for these inconveniences.

The best family vacation!

We vacationed here with our 3 twenty-something children, one is a scuba diver, one a surfer and the rest of us love the beach and snorkeling. We took a number of day trips/adventures and had this wonderful house to come back to, prepare dinner and lounge in the pool in the evening. The house is very well equipped for cooking, and really just overall well equipped with beach accessories, comfortable and beautiful. Highly recommend this place!!!

Isabela's great little secret.

My husband and I loved all the commodities this home had. We had everything and more that was needed for our one week stay. The patio was my husband's favorite and I just loved how clean and convenient everything was. The home reminded me of a house my mom had in Arecibo. Great memories! You will not be disappointed to stay here and believe me, I am very particular in where I stay.. Thank you, will be back !

Wonderful Home

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Villa Porta del Sol. It was a wonderful home which matched the pictures on VRBO. The guidebook app made it easy to maximize what the property and surrounding neighborhood have to offer. Although there were a few power outages in the neighborhood during our stay, the whole-house generator kept us with electricity 100% of the time. We can see ourselves staying there in the future.

Wonderful spring break with the kids

House was well appointed. Kiddos loved the pool. The outdoor area was fantastic - we loved eating breakfast on the patio. The fresh coconut juice was a welcome treat. Easy drive to multiple beaches. The hosts could not have been more accommodating. A highlight of the trip was the Gozalandia waterfall about thirty minutes away. Plenty of beach gear and pool toys. The beach tent was amazing -easy to use and very effective. The app based guide was extremely information packed and valuable. Our girls also enjoyed the hammocks and playing with the Barbies. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Isabela home

The property is absolutely gorgeous! We had plenty of space for our family of 8. The beds were comfortable! The backyard and pool area are breathtaking! The house has everything you need to be comfortable and feel right at home. In the morning you will hear the roosters, which did not bother us at all. There is a cat on the property, incase that may be an issue for someone with allergies. It didn’t bother us either. Isabela is a beautiful city, and the house is very close to the Walmart and Selectos grocery store.

Your own slice of Paradise

The house was perfect! Communications from Sandy were exceptional - very detailed, we knew just what was expected. The house was lovely, our family included to adults and 3 adult "children" ( 20, 22, 23) - the home was spacious enough for all of us and the outdoor pool area was perfection. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. Sandy reached out throughout our stay to be sure we had everything we needed. The attention to detail was unsurpassed, streaming services, wifi, amenities, guide book to all things local and far. Don't hesitate to book. We would definitely return. Just one note if you are not an early bird there are roosters in the neighborhood - we were not bothered by their crowing and by the second day we didn't even noticed them - it just added to the charm of the location. Sandy truly sets the bar high and exceeds the expectations for customer service. Many delicious restaurants close by at Jobos Beach (view from Umas is spectacular) Highlight of the trips for the "kids" was Discovery Suba Trip @ Crash Boat Beach.

Beautiful home, terrible location.

Pictures look beautiful! House is well equipped with all the proper tools and supplies. The pool area is great but not suitable for children. Tons of corners and edges that a child can hit their head on. Sandy has a boat load of restrictions, extra fees, and ridiculous rules. -quiet hours rules are ridiculous because the surroundings houses are loud all times of the day. Not to mention the neighbors directly next door are breading dogs. Dogs barking late hours of day and early morning. - has a “professional” pool cleaner but the walls on the pool were filthy and noticeably dirty. - sleeps 8 people but has extra fees after 6 people are approved. - asked to have an early check in and she suddenly doesn't respond but expected rapid response when I was contacted -asked to have a late check out and was rushed by the cleaning lady. With the ridicule rules, lack of communication, and terrible surrounding noise, trust me when I say there are plenty of better homes to rent for this price.

Amazing Vacation Getaway

The home was beautiful & very private. We walked in and there was a welcome basket w treats, wine & local bread from the bakery with a note from our host . House was very clean & there was a lot of attention to detail. Rooms were spacious and cozy. House was fully stocked w anything we may have needed. Host was available to us 24/7. Answering any & every question we had. Host was so kind to take us to get a car rental instead of us catching a cab. She was very pleasant and eager to help in any way. Kids enjoyed the pool. Beautiful Mountain View. Absolute Stellar service. We look forward to staying there again in the near future. Neighbors were very nice as well. This house does not disappoint whatsoever!!!

About the host

Hosted by owner/manager

Host profile image
We've owned land in Puerto Rico for several years and started building our dream vacation home in 2012. It was just completed Dec. 2013. Coming from a Puerto Rican background, my father was born and raised there and I still have countless relatives living on the island. I've been coming to Puerto Rico for over 50 years, and living here the past 8 years. So we are quite knowledgable and can answer all your travel questions.

Why they chose this property

We chose Isabela Puerto Rico, since it's far enough away from the hustle and bustle of San Juan, but near the beach and many sites and activities and just 2 miles from the main highway #2 which takes you around the whole island. Plus the Isabela mall is just 2 miles away with just about anything you would need, including grocery store, Walmart, Walgreens, Movie Theater and much much more.

What makes this property unique

Our home is equipped with a water reserve tank and a whole house automatic diesel generator to supply the home in case of an outage. Be aware that not all properties have this back up plan if the electric or water goes out. We have back up plans in place for everything.
