Easy to reach, beautiful view of the lake from the dock, comfortable spaces and a kitchen to the lovely weather. Perfect location to explore the nooks and crannies of Guanica and southwest of the island.

Excellent experience, place and host! The place is a little piece of heaven! I recommend it 100%.

Excellent! Our stay exceeded my expectations. We were looking for a quiet place to spend the night although we would go to the Parguera evening stroll. Julio and his family received us at home, giving us all the attention. We were directed where we could go for a walk, shorter routes, accommodations, offered us a ride in his personal boat and until July made us coffee in the morning. Really be back!

Just wow!!! What a treasure!Excellent location, breathtaking views with great accommodations, we are definitely coming back soon!

The dock got us sold! Driving around the island, from numerous "re-calculating" and "detours" the dock was a great refuge. The waters were calm and the breeze was relieving. It was so comfortable! The house was beautiful, clean and well maintained. We can't wait to get another chance to visit here again. Thank you Julio for having us! Julio was in touch with us in every way he can! Two thumbs up!

Julios place was nice and clean. It was within reasonable driving distance to all main attractions in Guanica and Parguera. Julio was very communicative and many out stay incredibly easy and enjoyable. Definitely recommend and would stay there again for sure.

Julio study offers is super comfortable, everything perfectly clean and excellent service and treatment from the. Unfortunately only we stayed one night, but it sure will. July is an excellent host.

Julio's place was peaceful and beautiful! The view was amazing! Julio was very kind and helpful. They are friendly and fun people, we're definitely planning to come back!

It was a pleasure staying with Rosnna and Walter. Great people. Very very helpful. We felt we were visiting family down south. Both Rosanna and Walter are very knowledgeable about the local area so ask them for suggestions and you wont regret it. Communication was clear and detailed from the point we reserved with them through the stay. They also let us use their life jacket for our trip to Gilligan Island :)

Rosanna and Walter are like old friends. We immediately felt comfortable in their home and enjoyed talking to them. They were super easy going and really kind. We enjoyed staying with them. I would recommend for anyone looking for a place in Guanica to visit with Rosanna and Walter!

It was a great experience. Nice hosts with good advice/suggestions. Made us feel at home. Good location to see beaches and the Bosque Seco.

Absolutely wonderful! Rosanna and Walter are incredibly gracious hosts and gave us some great travel tips and suggestions for the area. I particularly recommend the dry forest (bosque seco) and Manglillo, the mangrove beach. Rosanna also saved us from a potentially ill-fated ferry trip to Vieques and told us to fly instead! And they have adorable and friendly animals. All in all, the perfect chill place to stay after a hectic few days in San Juan. Thank you both!

Rosanna and Walter were wonderfully accommodating. They helped organize my travel to Cayo aurora and even let me come back after my checkout time and rinse off before I travelled to my next destination. The roosters will greet you early in the morning, but when there is so much to do and see, why spend the time sleeping?

Roxana and Walter were nice hosts. Very communicative and attentive. They really, really make you feel at home. Their place is well located and they give advice and directions on where to go around in the area. They even go the extra mile to have you covered and make your stay comfortable. Their young kids are amicable and their two dogs were well behaved pets.

We went for 1 night, and it's awesome their welcome, their treatment, communication, entertainment, in short, everything. We were very pleased with the stay. I will definitely return. It is very central and they also tell you about tourist spots. Thank you Rosanna and Walter.

Rosanna and Walter were wonderful hosts. From the moment we arrived to the day we left, they were vested in our vacation adventures. They helped us with directions, restaurant recommendations and even suggested a hike to an old fort- very nice addition to our itinerary. Their home is in a residential neighborhood and feels very safe. The whole house is tidy and inviting with beautiful paintings throughout (Rosanna is an artist!). The room had everything we needed and the air conditioning rocked! This isn't the Ritz Carlton- it's better. My daughter and I had a wonderful stay with a kind, sincere and lovely family.

Super good service from the Host, weeks before the day of "check-in" provided us with information about the beaches and attractions (with location). The house is very comfortable, has everything and more; well organized and welcoming. I recommend fumigated, but really is not anything special. My first experience with Airbnb and it was excellent.

Good location

Great Place!! Clean, accessible and great price!

Great value, nice people. Highly recommend these accommodations come as advertised. Nice location in Guanica central to everything.

Mario and his wife are excellent host. Mario's place was very clean. There is AC only the bedroom. There is no TV or wifi so bring entertainment for young children on rainy days. We did not miss the TV or wifi since the weather was great. The price is reasonable.

A little remote but a wonderful property for the price highly recommended

This place is so close to mangroves and beaches. There is a kayak to use. The neighborhood is VERY quiet. Good place to get away to.

Gated apartment in safe neighborhood. Owners were incredibly helpful in accommodating our time restraints and met us early to give us the keys. There is a bar/restaurant down the street and on Saturday night it can be a little loud, but we shut the windows and turned on the AC and it was great. Would definitely stay again in the future

Rosanna was warm and open. She welcomed us even though we arrived kind of late. She was easy going. The room was super as described, really neat and clean...and extra touches such as new soap, clean towels, and apples and water. Better than a hotel! It was fun to stay with Rosanna because she also invited us for a bit of dinner and breakfast, during which we got to talk with her and her family to learn about the local area as well as her perspective on life. Such a great and trusting experience!

A truly outstanding family and stay

Very helpful and cozy and accommodating! Went the extra mile to get us breakfast and wash some of our dirty clothes. Very sweet and kind couple!

This place is very close to a private beaches. Scuba diving, snorkeling, food all within shirt driving distance. Highly recommended.

The best Air Bnb in Puerto Rico. Made several returning visits, and will surely make several more. Rosanna and Walter are the most gracious, helpful hosts a girl could ask for.

Rosanna and Walter are WONDERFUL hosts. They really are the bread and butter in terms of place to stay. The room was spacious and very comfortable plus everything was super clean and top notch. They made us feel like we were a part of their family; what a nice adventure! They provided us with a ton of information and helpful directions around the island. Rosanna was full of nice little attentions; she even prepared our breakfast! We would definitely stay at their place again and highly recommend them to everyone.

Rosanna and Walter made me feel welcome in their home and were comfortable with me sharing their kitchen and bathroom. They gave good advise regarding places to visit in the area. The room was clean and comfortable and felt very private.

Our first airbnb experience, and these guys went way above what we expected! Could not recommend them enough, rosanna and walter are great hosts, doing everything they can to give you a comfortable stay, and help with whatever you need. Definitely stay here!

Nice house, very budget friendly! On Fri, Sat and Sun the Malecón has street vendors that sell yummy food. House was clean and we found it to exceed our expectations. Steven had great communication with us and even checked to see if we arrived safely and to make sure the house was ok. It was a 5 min drive to the ferry to Guiligans island. We definitely recommend this house to families traveling with children.

If you want a true authentic affordable Puerto Rican experience on the island near the beach with your family this place for you. Everything was great from day one, Steven was an excellent host, and kept in touched with me throughout our stay. The house was clean and accommodating on arrival everything exactly like it was told in the pictures and description. The only problem was the lack of a laundry cleaner, but luckily my family lives in Guanica and helped out. I highly recommend anyone to stay here if your into the outdoors and beachlife this place is an absolute steal of a price for the experience you'll be getting in return. I definitely will be staying here again. Thanks Steven

Wonderful stay! Great price & location. You will experience the real Puerto Rico, the way Puertorricans live. The neighborhood was peacrful & quiet. The house was comfortable and loved the beach vibe.

This is a very rustic house obviously made for rental to groups, or large families. It has no private rooms but a sufficient kitchen. It is one block from the coast, and three restaurants in an area which seems to be renovating for some tourist industry, which is located in neighboring communities. It is neighboring the dry forest, and some very good beaches.

Awsome place and great comunication. We have a blast!

Steven was a great host there for us for whatever we needed. Loved the location weekend festivals a block away great house with a nice pool. I RECOMMEND FOR EVERYONE TO STAY HERE YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My family and I totally loved the place the location was great. The beach is literally 10 minutes away, food locations near, live entertainment on the weekends, the beds were comfortable, and everything was very clean. Steven even provided towels for us. The backyard is a Summers day dream with a pool, Jacuzzi, grill, and table made it very cozy for the entire family. Just one problem, the neighbors dog kept creeping into the back yard at night to do his business. Other than that, I would stay here again, when visiting Guanica PR!

Excellent!

Excellent place to relax and unwind.

Great place, perfect boating distance from Gilligans

Excellent stay! Great place to relax and unwind. Would love to stay again in the future!

Perfect to enjoy and relax

Loved it!!

Jolio was a fantastic host. We were the first guests and Jolio had not received confirmation that we would come. Therefore, not everything prepared perfectly, when we arrived. But he did everything to make sure we were happy. We ate a fabulous dinner cooked by Jolio in his nice outdoor kitchen. We had a wonderful evening with Jolio and his little daughter. We did a boat trip in his boat and spent time in a very nice way for a number of days. Freshly brewed coffee he served us each morning. All was not perfect, but I'm sure that when Jolio got a little more experience hosting Airbnb will correct some details that were not yet perfect.

Charming place in Guanica's famous dry forest! My family of 6 stayed in Casa Alejada's humble, low key and relaxing garden apartment, a 2 bedroom that accommodated 2 couples and our 2 daughters found their spot in the living room's futon and sofa. All the rooms, as well as the living room, are equipped with needed mosquito screens, fans and air conditioning. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your meals and a well stocked fresh fish market is only 10 minutes away in car, a supermarket 15 minutes away and a gorgeous beach resort to have drinks and jetset-like meals is only 5 minutes away. The decks outside provide great views of the natural salt plains of the forest and you can walk, either to a public or a private peer, that for a small fee will haul you to Gilligan's Island, probably the best kept secret kay in the Caribbean. This is the best feature of this location. Inga (Chris' mother), a fantastic and lovable lady, made everything possible to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. If you want to visit this part of Puerto Rico and stay at a relaxing spot...this is it!

Chris was prompt and friendly in his communication. His place is located in a beautiful location in Guanica. There is a place across the street to rent kayaks or hire a boat to take to you Guilligan's Island which was a highlight of our 2 weeks stay! The home itself is adorable (lots handmade touches) and sits in lovely gardens. There were one or two requests we had while at the home and Chris was very responsive. All in all a wonderful stay.

Very good place, nice view! Very near to embarcadero to get to Guilligan's Island. Very clean bathroom and kitchen. Nice cross ventilation and cute balcony

This was a very nice place to stay. Beautiful views and a sweet little porch with a garden and fresh limes. The bedrooms were comfortable for two people each (we had to unplug a motion sensor light outside) and the living room was a nice place to hang out and relax. We had a small issue with water flow in the toilet however Chris was very responsive and the problem eventually resolved itself.

Chris was easy to get hold of, and communicated quickly. The garden apartment provided much needed space for our kids to play in (after San Juan), on the multi layered decks, the lower garden and also inside. The apartment is rustic, you feel like you are living in Puerto Rico, which is exactly what we wanted. Chris provided great instructions/directions on how to get to the apartment, where to shop for groceries and things to do in close vicinity to the apartment. We relaxed on the public beach next to Copa Marina, kayaked over to Guilligan's island, snorkeled in the mangroves and had an amazing time. We didn't even get to the bio luminescent bay, scuba diving off the reef etc but will do that next time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle and experience the real Puerto Rico!

The house has a lovely view and the garden is nice. Even has a lemon tree that drops fruit everyday, which we used for lemon water. The living room is spacious, kitchen is well equipped though we didn't really use it. It was nice that there was a cooler box for our day time activity. The room is clean and especially the twin room has a really nice breeze I didn't even need to use the air conditioning. It's walking distance to the ferry to Gillian Island. Would love to come back again.

*Chris was out of town and left his listing in another person's hands. He was very easy to get ahold of and refunded our money very promptly. I truly believe he will whip this place into shape ASAP!* That being said, this was not a great experience for us. The place was VERY dirty, my mold allergy made my face a mess for days and we just walked in and had to leave. Dead bugs, mold, hair in the shower. Finding another place ASAP was unpleasant, luckily we had a car and were able to drive an hour to a hotel. The only part we were able to use was the deck which was quite nice, just as pictured. This is a great area and we were sad to miss it!

This is our very first airbnb experience and Chris's place is exactly what we are looking for. We loved the view to the salt marsh and mangrove and enjoyed the lush tropical garden with a birdbath where bananaquit, pearly-eyed thrushes and troupials are frequent visitors. Chris's mom was a fantastic hostess. She offered a gallon of iced water when we checked in (because we checked in late and without stopping for groceries). She again offered us bread, butter, and eggs the next morning. We didn't expect this kind of care from a hostess and felt very touched by her kindness. The amenities are basic and all functional. It was a bit "buggy" (e.g. mosquitoes) so we went to the store and bought mosquito repellent coils the next day and all bugs were gone! If you are not planning to cook, there is a restaurant in the nearby resort (Copamarina) offers fantastic menu with reasonable prices. We had such a good time, we've decided that we should come back with our birding friends!!

We felt amazing with the energy and enthusiasm that the hosts showed us. The place is spacious and impeccably clean! I will definitely come back to stay, for this was a business trip and would've love to enjoy with more relax time!

Our overall experience was very positive. Good location, walking distance to the ferry. The house is quite big, very clean and has almost everything you will need! Mari and her parents are very nice and responsive.

The house was very clean, spacious and exactly as described on Airbnb. Mari and her family (next door neighbors) are very courteous and professional. They exemplify Puerto Rican hospitality. The house has ocean views from the terraces and is walking distance to the Gilligan's Island ferry (a 5 minute boat ride) and 5 min car drive to Copamarina Hotel & Resort and a very large public beach (Balneario). Please note this is a very peaceful neighborhood for relaxation, - no clubs, bars or restaurants except at the nearby hotel. The beaches are superb and you would be 20 minutes from the bio phosphorescent bay (La Parguera) and 40 minutes from Ponce. There is a lot to do in the southwest of the island, but you will be driving on paved roads with lots of curves. The house is 10 minutes from the main road. I highly recommend this house for a large family. Thanks to Mari and family for their hospitality and excellent service.

Excellent!

We had a very nice stay at Semidey's Beach Villa. Communication with Mari was very easy, and she was flexible with our check out time and also provided beach towels for us when we requested. The house was a perfect size for our family (5 adults and 1 child), and it was comfortable for hanging out between beach visits and for making family meals together. There is a nice outdoor porch with lots of room for eating and hanging out. The house was convenient to Gilligan's Island - a beautiful island and perfect for swimming (especially for my toddler - very calm warm water!). There are some other beaches nearby (very short 5 minute drive), but we chose to drive further to beaches on the west coast most days (approx 45 minute drive).

Thanks for the hospitality, excellent home! We enjoyed it very much!

The second level apartment has spectacular views from all of its rooms. The accommodations were neat and clean. The kitchen was ample and the apartment had a wonderful cross ventilation through out the living area. Mari was accessible at all times. It is at walking distance from taxi boats to Gilligan's Island. All appliances were in great conditions, no issues whatsoever.

The place is in a great location! Perfect spot to relax after a day of sightseeing. There were 6 of us staying in the upper apartment and it never felt crowded. The balconies were great to sit and watch the ocean from and enjoy a few cocktails. We ventured into town for dinner a couple nights but also enjoyed cooking their one night. Make sure to buy what food you may need. The supermarket in town has pretty much everything you'll need and some pretty good beers too! Make sure to go to Guilligan's island for a bit. Super relaxing!

Bonita and her place are awesome... we stayed 2 nights didn't have the best weather but had an awesome stay the house is awesome and breakfast in the mornings was a bonus

We were so much looking forward to this place, and we were not disappointed. This was going to be our three days of relax, playa, food and many plans to do much. We ended up doing nothing more than eat, swim and relax. Much needed after three days in San Juan street festival. We stayed one more night than planned. The room, the house, the hosts , the playas, the silence and the balcony. What can i say. Go there, and enjoy.

Bonita was always in touch with me. She even anticipated directions and was very specific. Villa Bonita is a very charming but spacious stay. She was very welcoming and walk us through the rules but did not impose. The simple breakfast Bonita has prepared the next day was icing on the cake. Will definitely reccomend and will definitely stay again.

We had a great visit at Bonitas place! The house is spacious, and very very clean. Big kitchen so preparing breakfast or a barbecue was a pleasure. Bonita was very helpful and warm. There were snorkeling stuff and even yoga mats to borrow : ) Guanica is a very calm area perfect for relaxing, just don't expect any nightlife or a big selection of restaurants nearby. Interesting beaches and nature with lots of mangrove trees and very calm water. Our favorite was jungle beach! Thank you so much Bonita, we really felt at home at your place : ) /Caroline & Alex

Bonita welcomed my kids and me to her beautiful property...and we immediately felt at home. The location was perfect...with beaches close enough to walk to and towns close enough to drive to at night. The neighborhood was safe and small, and we couldn't ask for anything better! We will ABSOLUTELY be (URL HIDDEN) was great.

Bonita was very nice and helpful. She offered information the surrounding neighborhood and prepared us tea and coffee with fruit in the morning. Our cabin - lazy lobster- was comfortable, cozy and very clean. All that we expected for a relaxed night before going on a SCUBA dive.

we booked only a few hours upon arrival, got a quick response and everything was ready when we arrived in the afternoon. the apartment was super clean and we were lucky to have it to ourselves for the weekend. jimmy was a very sweet host. me and my sister would definitely recommend this place

This place is a gem! There is a beautiful mangrove forest, cute little beach within walking distance. Bonita is an incredible host and we spent the entire day on the beach together. We had a wonderful time

A wonderful place, people who receive it are very special, they make you feel like family. The deluxe room, the great pool and spectacular attention.

This was our first experience using Airbnb. As a family of four, we could't have asked for a better location, property, and/or family to spend our vacation. I highly recommend this property to anyone staying in Guanica, PR. Charles and Alba went above and beyond to not only make us feel welcomed, but comfortable in their home. We arrived becoming friends very quickly, but left as family. We shared so many laughs, and created memories that will last a lifetime. The property is surrounded by so many beautiful places to visit, but most of the time we didn't even want to leave the property, because we had paradise in our very own backyard. The property consists of beautiful trees, flowers, and a spectacular view. We spent almost every morning and evening by the pool, enjoying fresh juices, while listening to some of the best Latin tunes. We even enjoyed a fresh cold coconut picked directly from the trees on the property. The pictures definitely do not do this property justice. In just a short week, we could not get enough of it. We slept extremely well each night, as the rooms were beautifully furnished with cold AC. We had access to our own private bathroom, refrigerator to store food/drinks, and a laundry room to clean our clothes/towels. We woke up each morning to an amazing breakfast, cooked by Charles and Alba themselves. During our stay, they truly went above and beyond in preparing some of the best meals for us to enjoy. In just a short drive, you have access to all necessities in town, which included: Restaurants, Pharmacy, Deli / Bakery, Gas Station and Supermarket. In addition, the property is centrally located to some of the most beautiful beaches that Puerto Rico has to offer. There are many nearby excursions, such as the Bioluminescent Bay, Snorkeling, Boat Rentals, and drop offs to Private Islands (Gilligan's Island). We enjoyed our time and would love to vacation here again in the future. It was truly a different experience, and one we will never forget. Charles and Alba were the most amazing hosts. It was truly an honor for them to allow us to stay in their home with them.

There is a reason why all of the reviews are excellent – the host is exceptional as well as the property. The pictures really don't do it justice. The room was very large and the private bathroom was beautiful. Every part of the home was spotless. After arriving and placing my bags in the room, I ventured out and found Charles and Alba in the kitchen. I had had a long day traveling so I took Alba’s offer to sit on the front porch and chat. It was so relaxing and the conversation was enjoyable. It did not take me long to figure out that we had the most important thing in common – jw.org. With an instant connection, the rest of the visit was that enjoyable on another level for me. However, I believe that even if I had not had that connection, I still would have had an outstanding experience with Charles and Alba. The day after my arrival, I had mentioned that I would like to spend as much time at the beaches in the area and possibly rent a kayak. Charles drove and I followed him to another Airbnb host where he negotiated me an amazing all-day rental. It was probably the best day on this visit. Any question about the area I had for my next day’s plans, they answered. I found that listening to their advice made my daily experiences better than just setting out on my own. My entire experience was just the relaxation I was looking for.

BEAUTIFUL home and view with amazing sunrise and sunset. Very comfortable bed and spacious room and bathroom. Inviting pool in a lush backyard. Great location near Dry Forest and Playa Santa and San German. Short scenic drive to Borqueron beaches. Charles and Alba are lovely and gracious, extremely hospitable. We thought Alba's breakfasts were the best best dishes in Puerto Rico, until we requested her dinner. We recommend adding on the dinner!! Their home is a must book for our repeat trip!!!

Fantastic!! Use their wonderful house as your base of operations in Southwest Puerto Rico and explore the best beaches, great history, wonderful restaurants, etc., guided by Charles and Alba, two of the finest hosts you will ever meet. Luxurious bedroom with large private bath; beautiful house and grounds (and pool). Eat a scrumptious breakfast on a lovely patio, overlooking the hills and ocean, and then be off on a day of exploring. You will be surprised at how close everything is and how centrally located their house is -- everything from Ponce on one end to Mayaguez at the other is a maximum of 30 minutes away, and the beaches much closer. You will be delighted to share the hospitality and warmth of Charles and Alba -- great place, great people.

The house its surreal. Exquisite home enormous of space. Private en suite shower. Gigantic patio with a big pool. Charles and his wife greeted me with wine and cheese. Made breakfast every morning and made sure that everything was for grasp in the fridge. I couldn't asked for a better place to just relax. Highly recommended place

Charles & Alba will welcome you into their lovely home. Great conversation, dining suggestions and points of interest. We didn't want to leave.

The hosts are the best people, very kind. The house is beautiful, huge and clean. My stayed was perfect.
