Other than the oven not working (which Hector the property manager told us about when we checked in), and a couple of other minor electrical quirks as reported on previous reviews, . . we had a great time. We enjoyed some quiet time at the pool and the iguanas that dropped in to visit! We will definitely be back. Thank you, Aida and Greg!

Front view of the Caribbean beach, back view of the mountains, easy walk to the beach. A great pool to enjoy. Near by gestation, 5 minute walk to a mini market. Location in a chinchoreo route where you can buy food. Closed Walmart in the area and supermarket. In this house I fit 4 Adult and 6 children with no problem . Is a beautiful house and is big , I recommended.

My family and I stayed here for a week, lots of things to do in the area. The home was nice, could use some updates - I would recommend a new bed frame for the master as the posts were glued on. Over all the house was exactly as seen online. Again could use some updating but was a nice comfortable stay, beautiful views from the front and back of the home, kids loved playing in the pool and was a quiet relaxing area. Thank you again Aida for your quick responses!

My family and I stayed in Patillas at Aida's house on PR3. The house was great and pool awesome. The house is just minutes from great beaches and other sites to visit. Make sure you shop at Rafa's Mini Market. They have everything you need if you forget to bring something. The people in the neighborhood are friendly. The restaurants are close, and the food is great. There are so many roadside restaurants to choose from, but make sure you bring your wallet, because some of the dishes are pricey. We had a great experience there and hope to go back in the future.

This was a wonderful property for the 6 of us to stay at. We had just come from 5 days in Old San Juan and while we loved exploring there, the apt. was not great. This house in Patillas was perfect. It was super clean and comfortable. We loved the pool and the kitchen was great to cook in! This last is not always the case in rentals, but this kitchen was well stocked and invited cooking. We could see the beach from the patio and living room. We explored some beautiful beaches by car, and overall, our group, ages 25-70, loved our time in this house and in this area of P.R.

We had a lovely time. You can get everywhere you could want to go on the island on a day trip without it being too touristy where you hang your hat. House and property seemed well maintained. Our contact with the propert manager was good. Only negatives master bedroom TV speaker was blown, and the dryer took 3 cycles to dry our clothes properly. Our contact said he would fix these small issues before the next guest. I would recommend this house and return without hesitation as it met our needs perfectly.

We have stayed in this house in Patillas several times over the last three years. It is a lovely property. Aida, Greg and Irene are all wonderful to work with. Puerto Rico has beautiful beaches, a lush rain forest, and amazing snorkeling. But the thing that always makes the greatest impression is the warm and caring members of the Patillas community. We visit the island to help the church and community rebuild and every time we return home feeling that we have received more than we have contributed. Beautiful island, beautiful and resilient people.

House has a lot of great features, however we found it very difficult to sleep with the roosters, dogs and construction next door. Also the kitchen needs a deep clean and some replacements. I washed each item before using and felt like nonstick tools should have been available for the nonstick pans. Bring fans or noise machines and beach towels.

Our experience was probably different from most renters. We were 10 adults in Patillas on a church mission trip. Aida, Greg and Hector were all great to work with and very helpful both before our trip and during our time there. The house was in a perfect location for us. The pool was wonderful after a hard day of work. The full kitchen met our needs for cooking for a hungry group. The house was spacious and well appointed. We were able to have our meals and meetings comfortably in the large living area. We loved the community and its people. We didn't take much time to explore this beautiful area of the island but there is lots to see. Maybe next time. Our visit to Puerto Rico was not only memorable but enriched our lives. Thank you Aida, Greg and Hector!!!!

Place was spacious and the pool was awesome. Enjoyed the covered parking as it gave us a place to sit and bbq while it was raining. My only downside is that there were no cleaning supplies or paper products. This seemed to be a communication issue between the grounds keeper and the owner. The pool was scheduled to be cleaned twice during our stay but never was. The first time, he came to clean it while it was in use. The second time I don it believe he showed up. It probably should be scheduled for early morning or later in the evening. There wasn’t a chlorine tablet in the chlorine floating device. Also, with that many people, the two small garbage cans were not enough for all the garbage. Other than that I really enjoyed the property and would stay again.

Booked this because it had washer and dryer come to find out that the dryer leaves clothes damp and it doesn’t dry out all the way that was the most annoying experience. The light went out one day when the light came back on one of the ACs weren’t working so that night we had to cut everyone in 2 rooms. They came to fix the AC the next day, other than that the house was okay.
