Rio Grande stay
Jose, our host, was exceptional. He was available for questions and suggestions, very reponsive. The property itself was ok. Clean, functional. Noisy ac in primary, no primary bedroom tv, bath fan was loud too. Dishwasher wasnt working. Living room furniture's comfort level would be a 5 or so (to be fair, I've yet to stay anywhere with comfy furniture) Lots of amenities! Tons of beach gear to borrow and everything needed for kitchen. Washer/dryer was convenient, but no soap (or for dishwasher). The beach was nice, we missed a hatching nest of turtles by 5 minutes!

Great place
We loved our time at this condo. They provide everything you might like for the beach. The complex feels super safe. It was quiet and the beach is really right there. When i read 'just steps away' its true. If you were at a resort hotel it would take you longer to go down elevator than it does to walk to the beach here. The pool is clean and is also beautiful. Beds were fine, i slept on futon couch in living area because i need a firmer mattress and i slept so good. Location is fantastic. We booked a kyack tour for bio luminous bay through pure adventure, fantastic! We also did catamaran tour, fantastic! We drove around eastern coast up the southern side and back. Book it, you will not regret it.

Wonderful!
This place was absolutely perfect! The location was exactly what we needed. We traveled during Holy Week, and I was a bit concerned about noise and crowds. However, none of this was a concern! The beach was beautiful, and not overly crowded. The courtyard was beautiful and quiet. The house was perfect for our family of 5 (2 teens and a 10 year old.) Jose was wonderful with recommendations and responsive to our questions. We would love to stay here again the next time we visit Puerto Rico!

Location, Location Location!
We couldn't have asked for a better location! This condo has it's own private beach as well is right in the middle of San Jose and Fijardo with just a 30-40 minute drive to both. Lucillos is also just 15-20 south of the condo and that is also an area you want to experience! Our host, Mr. Jose was extremely attentive and stayed in touch with me starting 2 days prior to arrival; checked in with me the night of our arrival to ensure we arrived safely as well as communicated with me regularly. He truly cares about his guests as he wants to be sure they enjoy the beautiful island of Puerto Rico! He also made excellent recommendations for food and activity and we couldn't have enjoyed our time as much as we did without these recommendations! Thank you Mr. Jose! We can't wait to visit Puerto Rico again and your hospitality is greatly appreciated!!

We enjoyed the condo which had everything we needed with a few minor exceptions (TV couldn't connect to cable). The beach was just a few 100 feet away, the condos in Bosque Del Mar are well kept, clean and pretty. Pool is beautiful, clean & easily accessible.

Perfect location for relaxing vacation
We had a great baby moon/family vacation here. We split most of our days between the beach and pool which were both just steps from the rental. We also went to El Yunque two days in a row because it is so close—this allowed us to spend one day hiking and another swimming there. We have no complaints about this rental and will definitely be back with our next kid!

Wonderful Location
Just spent 8 days in Jose’s VRBO. Jose is a great host! Reached out to us before, during, and after to make sure everything was ok. During our stay, I let him know of a couple minor issues (eg. small leak kitchen faucet) but ones we could easily live with. Jose had someone there the next day to fix them. The unit is accurately depicted by the photos and description. Location is outstanding. The condo complex is beautiful, on a wonderful stretch of beach, and many great restaurants/activities close by. We would absolutely stay here again!!

Well stocked stay in Rio Grande
This place is very well stocked with nearly everything you need for beach days. It was a huge plus to have access to the beach, although the waves will be rough for toddlers. Also very convenient to have a pool in the complex. Keep in mind that due to its location, it takes about 10minutes to get to the main road if you are driving to visit other sites. For families with little ones, the playground is clearly in disrepair and is not very suitable to play on.

Great stay in Puerto Rico
The property was as described, steps away from a lovely beach that we frequented during our stay. No problems at all getting access to the condo, Jose checked in with us several times to see if we were doing well or needed anything. Condo is great, we enjoyed ourselves a lot.

Sunshine, Ceviche and Sand Dollars!
We picked this spot for our family fall break vacation. We're a family of 4, and we typically like to swim, hangout and explore wherever we're at for vacation. We're pretty chill. The beach was beautiful and access was easy. We ended up staying onsite the majority of the week because it was easier to walk out an enjoy our beach with hardly any other people than it was to book ferries or find parking elsewhere. The beach was perfect. Clear water. Palm trees for shade. Lots of rip tide warnings because there are no lifeguards, but we just watched the kids closely. Introvert vacation heaven. At least while we were there. We loved it. The rental was stocked with everything we needed. Kids used the boogie boards almost every day. The chairs and coolers were super helpful. Loved having the pool option so close too. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinners and the Amigo supermarket wasn't much of a drive. Property was easy to find once we got turned the right way out of the San Juan airport. Host gave good instructions. I'm just terrible at navigating. We visited the rain forest and drove "in to town" to see Old San Juan one day. Food kiosks down the road were nice to explore. Ceviche Hut was good. There were nice neighbors who talked to us a few times, but for the most part it was kind of like we had the place to ourselves. Wifi was good. Would have been nice to have warning about rolling blackouts, but they lasted less an hour each time. No big deal.

Great Location!
The promise of a secluded beach and proximity to El Yunque were the draws for us to this property and it delivered on both! Reservations to the rainforest were easy to come by (so long as you create an account beforehand) and so worth it. The beach was naturally beautiful, not manicured, and great for boogie boarding. Everything we needed for a perfect beach day was provided for at the property. We ate at Richie’s for lunch and the pineapple rice entree was the best meal we had the entire week, not to mention the views! Rico Pan had the best pastries and Ekelekua the best breakfast. Highly recommend!

Good and bad
The property, and especially the host's information re property and area, was good to excellent. The value re cost is excellent. However, the beach was disappointing. Seaweed and "sea grape" was piled up all along the beach. This is probably due to a storm out to sea and not the responsibility of the host, but the total of the properties along the beach should have a clean up planned for this eventuality.

We loved staying at Jose's place. The grounds have a resort-like feel. The beach is just steps away. The pool is a great size and also just steps away. I especially loved how quiet the complex was at night; we could fall asleep to sounds of the nearby forest and ocean. It's an easy drive from San Juan, incredibly close to El Yunque, and convenient for groceries, eating out, etc. I hope that I get to stay there again! Thank you Jose for providing so much helpful information before we arrived and for answering questions after we arrived.
