About this property

Boutique gated, beachfront private home with pool. Top rated Puerto Rico rental!

We now have a massage therapist that will come to Casa Del Sol for a relaxing 60 or 90 minute Swedish massage poolside under the cabana at very reasonable prices. Hurricane guarantee refunds 100% of all money paid to us in case of active hurricane. Come and stay at Casa Del Sol Family Beach House in Puerto Rico where NO PASSPORT is required for U.S. citizens. Not sure? Click the "Ask owner a question" tab. Our response rate is usually within the hour and we are happy to answer any question you might have before booking. Please note, we do not rent to more than 4 adults per booking to ensure everyone's comfort. NEWLY RENOVATED October 2023 including permanent, whole-house, standby generator for power outages! Casa Del Sol Family Beach House is a totally updated Spanish style home with all the amenities. Located directly on the Caribbean Sea, this private, single-family, gated home has a large in-ground swimming pool that overlooks the sea. The outdoor cabana dining and bar area is perfect for hours of daytime entertainment and evening dining al fresco with the relaxing sound of lapping waves a few feet away! Our renovation includes a complete pool redesign with "sun shelf" for wading and splashing and LED pool light. In the kitchen, we installed new granite, tile, smooth top stove, and stainless refrigerator. Upgrades also include new furniture, beds, linens, lighting, and kitchen supplies. We feature a 60" flat screen, high-def FUBO TV (HGTV, Fox News, ESPN, Disney Jr., NFL Network, Food Network, etc.) available in living room and all 3 bedrooms. Also Netflix, and newly added DISNEY + CHANNEL! Added October 2023 500mb high-speed wireless internet. We also recently added a stainless steel 500 gallon fresh water cistern on the roof with pump and pressure tank for enhanced water pressure inside the house as well as backup for when the city water is down (island utilities can be unpredictable).
The expansive covered veranda hosts a variety of seating areas and another dining option for 6. French windows open at the kitchen sink to allow a beautiful view of the pool and beach.
For those wanting to enjoy the beautiful sea breeze, 2 sets of french doors open to the covered veranda. This home is located in an authentic Puerto Rican neighborhood and is off the beaten path of tourism. Immerse yourself in this Latin-Caribbean town of Patillas where you can sometimes see the local fisherman right from your backyard. Casa Del Sol Family Beach House is for those who truly want to get away from it all. You might only see a handful of people on the beach and those are likely local Puerto Ricans out for a family stroll or perhaps the Department of Natural Resources inspector daily inspection and marking of the numerous turtle nests that line our beach. Hawksbill and Leatherback turtles can grow up to 1500 lbs! The ice cream man still drives by often with his whimsical music blaring. Flag him down for a cool treat on a warm day, then go jump back in the pool and float end to end looking up at the dozens of soaring coconut palms surrounding you overhead. Fire up the gas grill poolside and grill steaks or burgers and then linger over a long dinner seaside AND poolside with the relaxing sound of the Caribbean waves mere feet away. At night, you won't believe the thousands of stars in the dark, southern Caribbean sky (we see a falling star or two often). You will also surely relish the sweet sound of the tiny coqui frog as it sings the magical "ko kee" signature call all evening. Guests that stayed at Casa Del Sol Family Beach House recently, witnessed the magical journey of dozens of sea turtles making their way to the sea (some had to be rescued by the guests out of our pool), a truly memorable experience!! Many new restaurants have opened since hurricane Maria in our area featuring Puerto Rican "Criollo" cuisine, and fresh seafood.

Casa Del Sol Family Beach House offers you all of these family experiences and more that you just can't find anywhere else. Please contact us before booking! We want to make sure your vacation needs are what we have to offer!
If you are the type of family that is looking for resort hustle and bustle, nonstop nightlife and casino action, this property is NOT for you. If your family is adventurous and you want to escape the ordinary and experience local Puerto Rican culture and truly relaxing days and nights in a private, gated home with pool directly on a remote, Caribbean beach, then Casa Del Sol Family Beach House is the place! Our home is in a residential area and unfortunately we cannot host parties, groups, or weddings.

Perfect family spring break spot

Casa Del Sol was the ideal spring break vacation rental for our family (two adults, four kids between the ages of 2 and 10). Our kids never got sick of swimming in the beautiful pool, which was large enough for all of us to enjoy at the same time. To have the sound, smell, and view of the ocean so close by was incredibly special. The house itself is thoughtfully outfitted with everything that we needed, and then some. Carla and Irene were incredibly responsive and helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this place again.

Ahhhh Casa Del Sol!!!!

We had a lovely stay at Casa Del Sol. Soon after booking, Carla (the owner) got in touch to make sure we knew what to expect from the house and the location. It’s off the beaten path but it was lovely and very relaxing! The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. It was stocked with essentials- especially coffee!!!The pool was huge, clean and was the best part of the house! Carla also helped us find a massage therapist who came to the house. It was a treat to have a massage outside listening to the waves crash!We cannot wait to go back!

Paradise!

Our stay here was absolute perfection. We are a family of 5 with kids ages 7, 7, and 10. Being on the beach with a pool was perfect! You cannot beat the outdoor space - The fenced in yard gave us peace of mind with the kids and the outdoor bathroom was amazing to have! We ate all meals outside daily. The house was great! Three bedrooms each with their own AC control was amazing to have. Beds were comfortable and there were so many bird games for the kids to play when the rain showers came through! We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen with everything we could ever need! A special touch that meant a lot was having ice cream delivered by the host! Communication with them was seamless before and during our travels! As mentioned in the description, it is in a local area - very little tourists which was perfect for us and what we wanted - the only down side to keep in mind is that the travel time to San Juan or the Rainforest is about a 1-1.5 hour drive each way so just plan accordingly! You defiantly need a rental car to stay here. The roads are very curvy and somewhat narrow around the home but once we got used to it driving was totally fine. The hosts also provided a recommendation for a local massage therapist who came to the home to give us a massage! It was perfection, Silvia was amazing! I highly recommend staying here while in Puerto Rico you will not be disappointed if rest and relaxation with still some adventure is your goal!

Incredible!!

This home and property are incredible. Extremely clean and well maintained and stocked with everything you’ll need for your stay. Pickup some food from the grocery store on the way and you’re all set. Internet worked well and the home has lots of tech and games incase it rains. The pool and its sun deck are refreshing and beautiful to look at. Regular flybys from the local pelicans were always entertaining. We will definitely be staying here again!

Beautiful Spot

We really enjoyed the beautiful setting and the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach. We took full advantage off the pool and grill, and enjoyed seeing more of the island than we would if staying at a resort. The property manager was very kind and attentive. Overall we had a great time and highly recommend Casa Del Sol!

Relaxing week in a beautiful area

We had a great time during our stay. Perfect place for little kids to play in the pool and explore the beach. Snorkeling was pretty nice too when the water wasn't cloudy from wave activity. This place is exactly as advertised and the host is very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend for people trying to get away from the hustle and bustle. Only downside is that it is close to road noise. We tend to be sensitive to noise but got used to it pretty fast. The house is so great that it makes up for it easy. Tons of easy day trips are accessible from here too. Be sure to get up early and catch the sunrise!

About the host

Hosted by Carla Kolega

Host profile image
We have been married for 35 years and have 4 adult kids. We are from the Kansas City area and endure extreme humid temperatures in the summer and frigid snow and winds in the winter. We began our young careers in the Airline industry but Sean ended up in the Pharmaceutical industry in sales for the past 30 years. Carla has enjoyed the pleasure of being a stay at home mom. With the prospect of an empty house we decided to make our life long dream come true and buy a vacation home in Puerto Rico!

Why they chose this property

Our love of travel began many years ago with our brief careers in the airline industry. During that time had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the Caribbean. Ultimately we fell in love with Puerto Rico and a few years ago we had the opportunity to tour the entire island. We instantly became mesmerized by the lush green southeast part of the island known as the Emerald of the South. We fell in love with the small fishing town known as Patillas as it brought us back to the old time Caribbean feel that enchanted us many years ago. After our tour of Puerto Rico we returned home to Kansas and couldn't stop dreaming of the beautiful quaint town of Patillas and the possibility of owning a home there someday. Our original thought was to purchase a home for us exclusively but noticed the area boasted some beautiful beach rentals. We decided to purchase our home and share it with guests from all around the world so you can enjoy and experience this magical place as well! After purchasing our home we spent countless hours and many trips bringing this property back to its original beauty. This house has everything we could ask for on our wish list...beachfront, large in ground pool, and expansive outdoor living areas that are spacious and inviting. Our goals will always be to maintain and update our home for us and our rental guests to enjoy. Now that our nest is empty, we look forward to making many family memories and the prospect of sharing our beach front oasis with you. PS. Our house wouldn't be complete without a vintage Puerto Rico advertisement by our airline! Look for it!

What makes this property unique

We will never forget the jaw dropping moment when we entered the gates of our home. Although we saw Casa Del Sol needed some TLC, we knew this was a dream come true. Our kids first reaction was priceless when we brought them to Casa Del Sol. One of them said, "So this place really does exist!" Yes, Casa Del Sol really exists and we hope you will have the same "WOW" factor that we still get every time we arrive in paradise.
