Villa Mar Afuera was perfect for us. Loly's instructions were direct, clear and she was available if we needed anything. As for the home itself, my boyfriend and I had everything that we needed, as well as a breathtaking view. We would definitely recommend staying here and plan to do so again! It is a serene and calming getaway, and Isabela itself is lovely. Everyone there was so nice. You definitely need a car, but the proximity to everything from stores to the beaches was close and never an issue for us. If ever at a loss of what to do, Loly provides a binder with the beaches, things to do, and places to eat, as well as maps. The internet did go down, but we didn't mind a bit because we were so busy adventuring on the island, and Loly contacted us about it as soon as she found out and immediately set about to get it fixed. She was a wonderful host and if we were not able to stay in Villa Mar Afuera again, we would definitely look to stay at another one of her properties!

This place is AMAZING! Literally a slice of paradise. My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights after spending 5 nights in Rincon. The place had everything we could need and was extremely clean. It was quiet and peaceful and very secluded. The views of the beach were beautiful. The check in process was very easy- we just followed Loly's directions and there was a key in a locked box that let us in to the unit and the property. We felt very safe there and wish we could have stayed longer. Loly was available by phone at all times and was very fast to respond. The bed is a futon and is very comfortable- the pillows were too. We will definitely be back and for longer!!

We spent 3 nights at Villa Mar Afuera and enjoyed every minute of it. The place is comfortable for two, and is very well equipped for a relaxing time (from DVDs and a boom box to scuba diving equipment and mosquito repellent!). It has a beautiful view of the coastline and the beaches are easily accesible by car. There are markets and restaurants within reasonable distance (by car). The nighttime view you get here of the sky and the beach is superb. Loly was a wonderful host, sending detailed info in advance on how to reach the Villa. If I go back to Isabela I would definitely stay at Villa Mar Afuera again.

The stay at Loly's Villa Mar Afuera was unforgettable. It is the perfect location for relaxing. The view is amazing! It's the paradise! The house was very clean and comfortable. Communication with Loly was easy at every time. ¡Muchas gracias!

Vue imprenable sur l'océan, belle et pittoresque, une escapade dans le monde réel! Nous allons certainement revisiter Isabela, et pour sûr réservation avec Loly à nouveau. Dans l'ensemble une grande expérience, les attentes ont été dépassées!

Nos encanta estar aquí, que es la segunda vez y no nos decepcionó! Gran ubicación, el registro fue fácil. ¡Vistas espectaculares! 15 minutos de Jobos, Montones, chozas o cualquier otra playa. Los restaurantes también estaban muy bien. Altamente recomendar uno Ten Thai para la cena y TBC para el desayuno o el almuerzo. Las margaritas en Tuluum (sí con 2 U) el mejor. Voy a volver! ¡Gracias!

Beautiful place! a natural jewel. I recommend it 100%

Esta pequeña casa estaba muy bien decorada y tenía todo lo necesario para unas vacaciones fuera de la pista batida a Puerto Rico. Las fotos y descripción son del todo exacta y Loly era extremadamente sensible. Las casas amarillas y rojas son casi idénticos en tamaño y situación, aunque parece esta casa amarilla se vuelve más uso. El Internet era irregular ya veces - incluso cuando se restablece el router - pero AT & T tiene un buen servicio (Verizon, no tanto). Exploramos las playas locales (chozas y Montones eran nuestros favoritos), restaurantes (sin duda van a CLMDO) y actividades (surf en la playa de Jobos, buceo en la playa Crashboat, senderismo y la exploración de la cueva en el bosque de Guajataca).

Extremely clean, communication was awesome. It was close to everything. Place is small but beautiful and very well maintained.

Excelent place, cozy, clean, close to Road No. 2. Family oriented, beautiful sorroundings. Good value!

Excellent place and location

Thank you!

This is a lovely little house in the heart of Isabala, with extremely helpful and accomodating hosts. It's also very well located for groceries and supplies. We will definitely be back. Do yourself a favour and get a Frappe from the place just down 4494. They're amazing.

Martha's place was clean and comfortable. Great hospitality. A studio apt; queen bed and sleeper sofa. 4 people fit well if willing to share bed. Bathroom was clean but water didn't get very hot in shower. Not very convenient for children. Not impressed with location. But definitely worth the price for stay!

Martha's spot was quaint had quick access to everything we wanted to do in Isabela and Aguadilla and made for an wonderful time in Puerto Rico.

I can only say she is the best on top of everything

Staying at Ruben's place was a great way to start our vacation in Puerto Rico! Just a few steps from the water and a few minutes drive/bike from eating and drinking spots: it was all we could hope for. Ruben was super nice: he picked me up from the airport, offered to us bikes and was always ready to help with really useful information about the area. His love for Isabel and Puerto Rico shows and it is a pleasure to chat with him about the island. Thank you for having us!

Rubén was a great host from the time we wanted to book all the way through checking out. The apartment is awesome and literally walking distance to the beach and a beautiful boardwalk that connects to other beaches. Couldn't have picked a more perfect location also minutes always from great restaurants and bars for night life entertainment. Recommend him 100%.

The place is perfect! Close to everything, very cozy and secure. Definitely coming back!! El lugar está perfecto! Cerca de casi todo, acogedor y muy seguro. Definitivamente vuelvo!!

Great place to stay, unbeatable price, check in & out very easy, and it has everything you need to come rest after a long bacayion day !

El cuarto es bueno, bonito y barato; es bien limpio y tiene todo lo necesario para una estadía cómoda. Definitivamente, me quedaría allí otra vez.

Robert muy atento y a la orden siempre. Limpio y acogedor, calidad precio inmejorable !

The studio was lovely, clean and comfy. Robert was very helpful and drove us to the beach. We walked back to the studio from the beach without problem, but it might seem far if you're not used to hiking. Pizza is literally on the doorstep and it's delicious!

Robert was great and his place was perfect super clean and great location. Will definitely recommend to everyone.. we had an amazing time

Great location. Place was small but it's everything you need. I would recommend you to bring your own blanket because they gave us two bed sheets as blankets. And because the room had louvered windows it was very loud in the morning. (Even when we closed it) We could hear our neighbors conversation and people doing construction etc.

Primera vez visitando un airbnb y la experiencia fue mejor de lo que pensábamos. El lugar es perfecto para unas vacaciones o tan solo para despejar la mente. Tranquilo, limpio, privado, en fin, todo lo que uno espera al alquilarlo. Excelente comunicación y cómoda ubicación, espero poder volver en otro momento.

quiet and cozy.

Great place to stay if you're on a budget but still want it all. The studio is spacious with a kitchen, dining space, living area, large bed, a full bath, washer/dryer, and your own parking spot. I enjoyed the convenience of the market next door as well. They were open 6am-11pm with basic groceries and a restaurant. The food was basic but the prices were great. It was great to just wake up and head over for breakfast and not worry about finding diner after my days out and just have dinner here again. The only set back is that there isn't anything to do or see at walking distance. Not really a worry though if you just need a place to sleep and your have a car.

This studio is great!!! Quiet neighborhood, next to a bakery where you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner :) friendly host and very easy check in and check out. The place was very clean, it loooks exactly as it is on the pics. The only thing that I would suggest to Jiny is to improve the wifi. The signal was very poor in the studio which made a bit difficult my work.

Joe and Mirtha were amazing. The apartment was great and has everything you need. It's located very close to a lot of awesome things to see and do. Would recommend and have to everyone.

La comunicación y la preocupación de Joe por nosotros fue en todo momento, el lugar es tal cual se muestra en las fotos, ofrece más cosas que un hotel ( cocina, bar, tv, lavadora, secadora, etc) también hay un almacén con todo lo que puedas necesitar!!! Fue realmente un placer quedarnos allí, lástima que fue solo una noche! Finalmente quisiéramos volver a destacar la comodidad y confianza que nos entregó joe y su familia, lo cual nos hizo sentir como en casa!

Todo estuvo genial. Sólo permaneció durante unas pocas horas, pero Jiny era muy servicial.

Just one word, HOME

Este estudio fue exactamente lo que necesitábamos para una estancia tranquila a medio camino entre la playa y cascadas en la Isabela / área de San Sebastián. El estudio en sí es espacioso, bien equipado y muy limpio. Al lado se encuentra la panadería familiar que tiene todo lo necesario para hacer que sea la cena en la cocina o proporcionado por el pollo asado ya hecha y platos locales! Jiny y su familia nos hizo sentir muy a gusto, siendo muy flexibles con el check in y el check out también, que nos ofrece el conocimiento local de la zona y feliz de tener una charla en la panadería cuando fuimos. Usted necesitará un coche si te alojas aquí para llegar a las atracciones locales, pero es un gran lugar para escapar de los turistas con menos alrededor y ofrece un fácil acceso a varios lugares de interés diferentes. Sin duda recomendaría :)

This place was great!

This is a very quiet neighborhood. The host is so adorable and very communicative. The house is very clean and comfortable, the gated entry offers safety specialty for kids, mine really enjoyed the amazing hamaca that she has in the balcony. Very nice stay, we recommend this place 100%

Great value for this comfy place near Aguadilla airport!

Nancy was an awesome host! Extremely accommodating and gracious. Thank you so much for making my short stay so pleasant. Cheers

Beautiful place and very nice hosting

Apartment was worth the price, Very clean. Host was very nice. Near the beach. Only problem was the beds were hard.

Es una casa bastante cómoda y tiene todo lo básico que necesitas para una buena estancia quizás falto el Microondas y unos implementos para la cocina pero todo lo demás perfecto además Nancy es una excelente anfitriona

Nancy was a wonderful host and we enjoyed our stay very much. The place was so cute and very clean. I love soft, comfy bed and was able to sleep really well here. I was traveling with my young daughter so it was nice to have a completely fenced in yard to have peace of mind she could not accidentally run into the road while playing and it also provides a more secure feeling (although the area in general feels safe as well). Having a remote for the gate was really convenient! It was also really nice to have a carport right next to the door. I've never had such an easy time unpacking and packing our luggage.

Wilson is the man. Very helpful. Allowed us to have our space but very accommodating when we had any questions. I your looking for a authentic Puerto Rican experience look no further than here! You'll have to check out Wilson's restaurant as well. Food you have never had before!

Just got home after 4 days in Isabella! This is the first time I have used Airbnb at my island Puerto Rico and plan to come back next year. First, this apartment is everything! The layout is great! Location, location, location!!! Less than 5 minutes from Montones Beach, 8 minutes to Playa Jobos, 15 minutes from Surfers Beach, and 40 minutes to Rincon and a 1 minute walk to the town Bakery. Wilson (the owner & the chef of CLMDO) has done a great job making sure the place is up to date and clean. Wilson made the check-in / check-out process a breeze! Superior customer service! Excellent communication from the start! I would definitely recommend this Guest House to my friends and family. Thanks again Wilson! * if you are in Isabela got to check CLMDO (next to the Guest House), Wilson will give you one of the best food experiences! The food is delicious! Don't pass this opportunity up!

This was an amazing place!! Fully stocked with all the little details you may forget on your trip- and Wilson made himself fully available to help if we needed anything else. The space was clean, roomy, and comfortable, the area safe and friendly. It was a fantastic experience and I recommend Wilson as a host with the highest regard!

Nice place right in town. Wilson was awesome and very reachable.

Wilson was a very nice man. He made us feel very welcome. The guest house was perfect. I really enjoyed the water filter in the fridge. Isabela was such a great city and he made great recommendations on places to try. I wish we could have stayed longer! I definitely recommend this guest house to those traveling in Isabela!

Wilson was available at a moments notice if you need him. His guest house is spotless, comfortable, and just what you need for a stay in Isabella either alone or for a couple. Complete with full kitchen you can cook your meals there, but be warned there is some amazing food in the area. We look forward to returning to Wilson's very soon.

Wilson and his guest house were absolutely perfect. Wilson was such a great host- very sweet, fun to talk to, full of great suggestions, and an awesome chef (you must try his restaurant, CLMDO). We loved the location of the guest house, too- directly behind the town plaza, and a super close drive to the beaches. We had a great time in Isabela- the beaches are rugged and beautiful with great surf, and a few calm swimming spots. We loved exploring Isabela and around by day (beaches, Guajatica Forest, swimming in the waterfall), running on the bike trail that lines the beaches around sunset, and coming back to the guest house for cocktails and dinner. The guest house is so comfortable, so clean, and has everything you need. Another plus was the fact that Wilson is an amazing communicator- probably the best ever! If we had a question, he responded immediately. One night, he clued us into checking out some live Bomba music happening nearby, and we were so happy that we did- so fun! Thank you so much, Wilson! And to anyone thinking about booking this place, just do it! It is fantastic.

Wilson was very informative with the neighborhood. If you are looking for a clean one bedroom apartment this is it! The house is literally 2 blocks away from the plaza. The beaches are beautiful! If you are looking to experience Puerto Rico but trying to avoid the tourist areas, this is it! I admit, there was a tad bit of anxiety staying with a stranger. However the second I arrived to the gated house and private entrance my mood completely changed. Wilson has very welcoming vibes and I plan on booking again very soon. :)

Josie was a perfect host: available for all questions but not constantly intrusive. Studio was clean with all necessary features. View of water is beautiful. We would highly recommend Josie's and we also plan to revisit.

This place was great. Very private and secluded. It was also very clean. Ocean views and no immediate neighbors. Josie is also a great guy. He offers surfing lessons. Good inexpensive food options within 5 miles. Location is perfect, highly recommend! Thanks Josie!

Vi havde et dejligt ophold og var vældigt godt tilfredse med lejligheden, som var ren og pæn og svarede fint til beskrivelsen. Fantastik at sidde og spise morgenmad på verandaen med udsigt til Atlanterhavet! Det skal dog nævnes, at Wifi slet ikke fungerede under vores ophold. Ligeledes vil vi nævne, at vi føler vi var lidt heldige med hensyn til modtagelsen. Vi mødte rengøringshjælpen Pat, der fortalte, at hun ved et tilfælde var i gang med at gøre rent i vores lejlighed. Der var ingen andre til at modtage os og fortælle om stedet. Nogle timer senere dukkede Josies mor op for at fodre kattene. Hun var meget venlig og hjælpsom med blandt andet at få et drilsk TV til at fungere. Vi kunne godt ønske, at der havde været lidt mere køkkengrej. For eksempel var der kun et krus og meget lidt bestik.

This was a great rental. Had everything I needed and it was in a super quiet location which was most important to me.

Nach vielen überteuerten Gästehäusern und Hostels in Puerto Rico war das Apartment für uns eine tolle Abwechslung. Der Platz und die Ausstattung war ausreichend, auch Taucherequipment konnte ausgeliehen werden. Das Grundstück ist sehr weitläufig, vom Zimmer und unserer "Frühstücks-Veranda" aus hatten wir einen tollen Blick aufs Meer. Josie und seine Freundin waren sehr hilfsbereit. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert.

Josie helped make us feel very welcomed. He taught us how to surf and gave some awesome restaurant suggestions and tips on places to see we would never have found on our own. The room was perfect with everything we needed - wifi, hot water, pots and pans, fridge etc. Great view of the ocean and stars at night, and a short 10 minute drive to the beach

This is a quiet residential area and family oriented. It is safe without need for the bars and gates you see on other places. We loved the seclusion and the chance to go "native" here. We don't surf but Josie is very helpful to those that do. His family was helpful recommending where to shop and eat. We have already been making plans to return for next year.

If you surf. This is the place to be. Jump out of bed. Check the waves and go !

It was a very good experience, Francisco the host was very helpful with anything I needed, I recommend it to anyone.

Definitely have to try el Plantanal right at the corner of Route 2…an amazing place to eat

House was very spacious, beds were quite comfortable and the entire home was very clean. One bedroom didn't have ac, which was not an issue because it was temperature was pleasant with just a fan. The one room where we used the A/C was so efficient that I had to get up several times to raise temperature. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

This house in Isabela was spacious enough to accommodate our group of 8. Communication with Francisco's staff was easy, and can be done over text or phone in both English and Spanish. We had the first floor of a two-story rental. It is a 15 minute car ride away from Montones Beach and shoreline restaurants. Clean and spacious -- perfect for a quiet getaway with a large family or group of friends to share. Thank you for accommodating us!

I love the spaciousness of the apartment. The apartment was clean and the air worked great. The neighborhood was safe and very easy to find. Francisco sent a navigation text to me which made finding the apartment easy each time. Francisco was just a phone call or text away if I needed him and responded promptly to any questions. He even gave me ideas of places to visit and the Navigation link for them too. I would his apartment especially for large groups.

Very clean house with large kitchen. The rooms were spacious. They provided plenty of towels. Very close to the main roads, resterants and shopping center.

El lugar muy acogedor y limpio. Repetiríamos esta residencia como estadía. Estaba muy bien equipada. Los baños limpios con sus toallas, jabón, shampoo. La cocina con todo el equipo necesario para cocinar y/o calentar. Igualmente los cuartos, sala y comedor. Todo funcionaba. Excelente opción.

Great value, a great place and excellent customer service.

The hosts were fantastic. They were very patient about giving me directions to get there since my cell service was spotty. My second day there, the hostess brought down fresh mango, grapefruit and yogurt for breakfast, just because. They are incredibly gracious and warm people. The studio was the perfect size for one or two people. The house is practically new and the studio is furnished with a microwave, crockpot, mini fridge, toaster, coffee maker, and air conditioning. The proximity to the beach is great. For the shy traveler, the outside shower you see is the shower for the studio. There is no inside shower. Nobody uses that side of the house except you and you can easily take a shower without exposing yourself to anyone. It's actually kind of liberating to take an open-air shower like that.

The perfect Puerto Rico hidaway!! wonderful hosts ! Such a a nice garden and grill great for hanging and relaxing....can't wait to go back!

Hola! My stay in the art studio was great. The outdoor shower was perfect and always had more than enough hot water! The AC in the room works very well and you only need to run it for a bit and the room stays cool. I had a late landing and was greeted warmly by Mora and sweet Ginger:) This was my first trip alone and on my last day I started to get lonely but Mora offered to take me around the island with her and her husband. Totally unexpected and it made my trip come full circle. I would definitely stay here again. My only recommendation is to get a rental so you can see all of the beautiful beaches! I can never thank these two enough. ❤

We had a lovely stay at Moraima and Felix's place. It was a nice, quiet location very close to Jobos Beach. Moraima and Felix welcomed us and gave us several recommendations on where to eat, ect. They even showed us where this darling food truck that sells the most delicious arepas was. The bed is SUPER comfortable and the AC worked wonderfully. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend staying at their art and surf studio!

Excelente ubicaciòn cerca de la Playa Jobos y Aguadilla ,

Great stay! Beautiful location and the apartment is wonderful. We spent the afternoon at Jobo and the evening at the place drinking beer and swinging in the hammock. Feels like your own private place, clean, and just about the best airbnb place I've seen. If we come back to Isabella we know where to stay!

This is a small, beautiful studio very close to Jobos beach. The place is very peaceful and close to all the nice spots. It doesnt really have a working kitchen so plan to eat out. Also, during the rainy season watchout for mosquitos (but this is true of all the beach area). We liked our stay, but be aware the place is small and probably not suited for more than 2 people, or as in our case, a couple with a large dog. Thanks to Moraima and Felix for having us.

Moraima and Felix were kind and such friendly hosts! The pictures on airbnb don't do the place justice, it's so beautiful. The studio is in a great location just down the street from the beach, surf shop and restaurants. The directions to there are kind of tricky so make sure to get in contact with Moraima beforehand to save you some trouble.

1. Ralph had set everything up for our arrival to meet our arrival times which gave us flexibility to arrive sooner or later if we wished. And upon arrival his friend was very welcoming, gave us a few town tips and eating out advices which came in handy. 2. The apt was perfect for 2 (couldve also fit 3 comfortably) 3. Ralph was the on call for anything we might need. The apt received us with beers, water and the basic cooking necessities. The house is fully equiped with anything you need for your stay. More than what he described. Theres a hammock that you can set out in the balcony, you can hear the sound of the waves and feel the cool breeze and read a book or catch a really great nap in. I DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE!!!

First of all let me start by saying that since the reservation comunication with Ralph was more than exellent. Hes very reachable and helpful. From the first moment you enter the apartment it gives you a nice, clean smell, loved the nice beach decor. It has everything you need, clean sheets, lots of towels, and let me tell you the pillows omg! They were so comfortable! I sleept in that bottom full bunk bed like a queen! The apartment can get you to montones, and jobos beach within walking distance. It was a very relaxing 4 days get away. You wont regret staying at Ralph's.

Great clean apartment just steps from our favorite beach....Montones. Ralph's directions were super easy and he was great to communicate with whenever we needed any further information. Perfect for us, a small family of 3, but you can easily fit a few more in. The apartment is just as described. I love the access to Montones as well as the access to the shallow area. Great for family snorkeling! This beach is my happy place, and this apartment was a clean, comfortable convenient, modern. Recommended. We will stay here again.

We really appreciate our stay ! Close to everything !

This apartment was only about a block away from the beach. The beach was very nice and not crowded and clean. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and could easily fit the max amount of people. Ralph is very communicative and accommodating. Overall, a very nice stay.

Isabela is a beautiful town to visit and Ralph's apartment is located in a great place near two of the prettiest beaches, Montones and Jobos, both at walking distance. In Jobos there are various good restaurants. You can get to Jobos walking through the board walk which is beautiful. Ralph was very attentive and the apartment was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. I highly recommend this place.

Ralph is great! Me and my friends were very surprised on all the attention he gave us. From the day I made the reservation until our check-out, he was an excellent host. The apartment was as described and we felt at home. We would stay there again. Highly recommend it! :) ¡Muchas gracias, Ralph!

Ralph is an amazing host, he have everything set to make us feeling more than welcome. His personal attention is outstanding all the way he give that extra mile. Ralph place is as described, clean, comfy, near places to enjoy different activities as cycling, walking or swimming or just relaxing at the beaches near it. I get to knew his wife Krysti and what can I say, they are the perfect team -something like Batman n' Robin *wiNk They paid attention to every detail ((like the hammock in the balcony between other things)) to your stay be pleasant, did I said they left goodies at the refrigerator for us to enjoy...and COFFEE!! THEY DID IT!!! That was kind of them... Definitely i will stay there again... n' I highly recommend it!! - A+

Nelfer es una persona amable y comunicativo.

AWESOME JUST AWESOME THANK YOU !

It was a lot of fun staying with Nelfer. We got talking as soon as I arrived and he was showing me around the garden. We ended up hanging out quite a bit during my stay - he took me to a local bakery to introduce me to Puerto Rican bread, he brought me to his friend's surf shop when the waves were up so I could grab a board and have a good time in the water. And I enjoyed the time we spent talking about everything under the sun. Definitely a fun place to stay. Thanks, Nelfer!

Great hospitality and awesome location for having access to the island! Nelfer is a great guy and his hospitality is second to none. Be sure to ask about popular spots and take some time learning from him about PR if you can, You won't be disappointed!

If the hospitality of staying with Grandma met a man cave, that would describe staying with Nel. Nel could not have been any kinder or more welcoming! He graciously shared his garden with us and we actually hung out with him quite a bit. He took us to some great restaurants and we really enjoyed his company! If you grew up with brothers or ever lived in a dated house in college, then you won't have any concerns about the bathroom situation and sleeping quarters. We had a great experience staying with Nel and really enjoyed sharing stories. Definitely drive down to Playa de Crashboat though, it's wonderful there! (Nel recommended to us!) This is not a beach front resort but if you are like us and spent more time at the beach and dining out, then it's a perfect place to crash with good company.

Great place close to everything!

I hesitate to write this review, because I don't see how Nel could afford to be as awesome for all his guests as he was for us, but I want to share how great our experience was. We were the first people to stay at his place. He was very flexible with when we could checkin, and easy to communicate with. When we arrived, he cut open some fresh passion fruit from his back yard, and just chatted with us for a bit. Then he took us out back and showed us the passion fruit, guava, and coconut trees and told us we could take whatever we wanted. Then he grabbed a couple coconuts, took a hatchet, and hacked us fresh coconut drinks on the spot! It was delicious. I feel like we could have talked all night, but I had a paper to write and my friend was tired so we turned in. Nel had set up our room and beds like a hotel. Brand new bars of soap on folded towels, new bottle of shampoo and conditioner, etc. Everything was great. Overall he really went above and beyond. Highly recommended. The only thing I can think of you might want to be aware of is there wasn't any hot water, but you're in PR so it's not like it's icy or anything. Wasn't a problem for us.

My time at Nelfer's house was a disappointment. We didn't receive the address until we were right outside town, there was no toilet paper in the house, and the sheets were covered in stains. Nelfer did text us some restaurant recommendations, which I appreciated; however, for the price and the hassle, I'd caution before booking here.

Abbey accommodated my friends and I warmly and on such short notice! She was absolutely sweet and made us feel right at home. The home itself was very clean, spacious, and came with just the right amenities to make our stay superb. The best part about was the location: right in the center of town and you can see the beach from right outside the door!

This is a very nice apartment, located in the center of Isabela, across the street from an excellent dinner restaurant. The building has its own little parking lot, so parking is easy and secure. Everything in the apartment was fairly new and very clean, and the apartment was well-supplied: there were plenty of towels, soap, and shampoo, the kitchen was well equipped, and there were even games, beach chairs, and bicycles. The hosts are delightful, very warm and welcoming. The apartment has exposure on four sides, which is both a positive (big windows catch the breezes, so the place stays reasonably cool) and a negative (traffic noise).

Excellent apartment in a beautiful little town. Immaculate condition... Extremely welcoming hosts.

This was a phenomenal second level apt./home. It was very clean and inviting. We truly enjoyed our stay!

This is a wonderful, spacious apartment in a sweet little town. Everything was as advertised and Abigail was very responsive.

We had high expectations to this stay based on so many positive reviews. PROS of this apartment are that you are in the heart of Isabela's downtown, there are many restaurants and shops within walking distance, the apartments is well equipped, and very comfortable for a family of 2-6, and lastly the beaches are within a 10 mins bike ride or 5-10 mins car ride depending where you want to go. The CONS: the host kept great communication with us prior arrival asking for any needs we had with our infant in order to provide a pack and play for her and a bike for our 5yrs old; however, we were never informed there was going to be construction and renovations to the outside of the apartment during our stay. We had to listen to people hammering, using a chain saw and other heavy equipment during the day plus having to navigate up/down the stairs around paint items and other fall hazards. If this would've been informed to us we would've consider to stay some place else. Another detail was that one of the beds was not made and the linens were given to us in a trash bag in case we need it to use the bed. Beside this incident, keep in mind that the apartment is located in the downtown which is very convenient as far of amenities but it comes with all the noise of the cars, music, and neighbors. The apartment doesn't have A/C which is not a problem with the good breeze you get but an issue when you want to minimize the outside noise at night by closing the windows. We hope this review helps the host in providing better experience to future visitors and a glance of this place for those considering it.

Great place and great people, Abigail was super for help and indication where to go and what to do. She let us borrow her own scuba gear to enjoy the beautiful reefs of Puerto Rico.

Abbey's place is great! Walking distance to some fantastic restaurants, grocery store and downtown plaza, and also very close to beautiful beaches. Abbey was informative and had excellent recommendations, quick to respond, very easy going and nice to rent from. Since I live in San Juan and also in Manhattan I'm a savvy traveler in general and know the Caribbean and I am confident in my recommendation; I would definitely recommend her place and rent from her again. My friend and I loved Isabela, and even more so from our wonderful airbnb experience. Thanks again, Abbey, for helping make our stay comfortable and stress free!!

The apartment had everything we needed for a wonderful stay in Isabela. Great access to beaches and we could walk to a couple restaurants. The kitchen was outfitted so we could eat breakfast and lunch in the apartment to save some time and money. Towels and linens were provided, the wifi was fast and the apartment was clean upon arrival. The host is very communicative and even went as far as to send us a number of recommendations for places to visit while we were in town. The location felt safe and was very quiet without being too removed from where the action was. The only drawback was the apartment lacked a comfortable area to hang out and wait out the frequent rain storms or take some down time. Be prepared to be out enjoying all that PR has to offer all day and you will be just fine. The bed is an old Futon so if you have a tempermental back this might not be the place for you but we found that with enough snorkling/surfing/drinking we had no problems. I would definitely recommend this spot to friends.

Awilda was a fabulous host and was always available when needed. Location was perfect. Felt safe. Apartment in gated community setting. The apartment itself was clean and we had everything we needed for our beach bum vacation. The appliances could use an upgrade. Would defiantly go back.

What an amazing place!! We had an amazing time! If you want peace, and quiet and still be on the beach, this is the place. The parking space was a huge plus and you really have the beach right on your front door. She has many utilities that helps you make your own food as well. I can not wait to come back. Loved everything about it!

Perfect location, walking distance to the beach. Clean and cozy apt. Definitely will see us again.

Awilda's place is right next to the beach and very secure, with parking right next to the building. There is also a fantastic bike path (that runs about 4.5 miles in total) from which you can easily explore the dunes and coastline. It was easy to get in touch with Awilda and someone was there to check us in and check us out at the exact times we agreed on. The apartment was tidy with clean towels. It's warm in the apartment, though there are plenty of fans to cool off with. Great food nearby (we ate at the Oceanfront Hotel just a little to the west). If you are spending most of your time outside exploring the beaches and rural caves this works great as a place to clean up and rest your head. Nice little spot!

The owner does not currently live in Puerto Rico, so all communication was by email or phone. Her replies to my questions were very prompt. When I arrived and found that the appartment was not appropriately cleaned - residues in fridge, hairs and more on floor- she had her cleaner return the next day and the whole apartment was done top to bottom. The apartment complex is more than a little run down. Most indicative were places in the celing where the masonry was cracked and had crumbled. I believe it is for sale, and seemed minimally occupied even over the holiday (which did make for a nice quiet stay.) Security measures were strong - with three dead bolt type doors between you and the public. The street it is on is used by the public to access the beach (via the pictured stairs which have a couple of missing or loose treads and a wobbly railing. All that said, the apartment was very well equipped and everything functioned well. A nice plus was the bikes, snorkel gear, and beach chairs. Improvements would be a stopper in the bathroom sink so clothing could be washed out, and some dish towels or a rack for drying dishes. The TV remote only controlled power and volume. To change channels one had to get up and do it manually. The location is great - two minutes walk to access Montones, three minute drive to Jobos Beach. The location, price, and ease of communication with the owner easily make up for the small shortcomings found in this apartments

Awilda was wonderful to work with. She was prompt in our interactions and made for an easy transaction. You can't beat the price. This apartment is basic so if you are looking for a luxury experience I would try the resort up the road. However, you are literally steps away from the beach. You have to walk about five minutes up the beach where the waters are calmer for swimming, but the water is just gorgeous. If you are oh so inspired to leave Montones beach the apartment is conveniently located to numerous other beaches, a lovely walking/biking path, and the town of Isabela.

The condo is great and Awilda was excellent giving us detailed instructions. all went well and our overall experience was very smooth. The place is right on the beach, literally. It is a very well equipment condo, with snorkeling gear, bikes, and everyhing you might need to cook at home, if that is your thing. If not, there plenty of restaurants nearby. Fully recommended!

Tremenda experiencia, espero volver pronto

My whole experience was a smooth one. Rosaura was very accommodating and quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns. The hostel was located behind the motel and in a private area. I was the only one staying in the area during my time there which I didn't mind at all. The AC worked superbly. Only thing I needed was a blanket or comforter but everything else mentioned as amenities was provided. I really enjoys the peace and quiet and most of all privacy. Thanks again for the wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend.

My review

Cómodo, súper limpio, excelente servicio y atención. Es la segunda vez que me quedo y definitivamente regreso.

Rosaura is a great host! She answers all questions and inquiries very rapidly.

The place was ok, the only problem was that the AC was not working and there were couple roaches in my room.

Everything was awesome and great for the value. Had some minor communication issues between Rosaura and the motel office but we were able to make everything work!

Комфорт три спальни, две ванные комнаты, кухня и большой шатер, чтобы вы чувствовали себя как дома ... место жительства сделать его доступным к красоте пляжи, местные и делиться торговые центры .. в tranquiliadas урбанизации и, как легко можно добраться до места жительства делают его идеальным местом. , ,

Отлично все !!! Габриэль всегда доступен для всех !!! Это было здорово

Una estancia maravillosa, en un nuevo barrio tranquilo y familiar. Gabriel nos recibió a nuestra llegada y nos mostró lo que se puede ver en los alrededores. Cada día, se aseguró, escribiendo a nosotros, que estábamos bien !!! La casa está cerca de un campo de golf, la ciudad de Isabela y varias tiendas y restaurantes en la carretera 2. Usted está a 10 minutos en coche de la famosa playa de Jobos, ideal para el surf y la natación para los niños. Hay todo lo necesario en la casa para cocinar. Un gran agradecimiento a Gabriel por su casa !!!!

Fue execute muy atento y disponible. La casa bien ubicada y bien equipada, se la recomiendo a todos

Very nice place, perfect for a family of 4. Close to many beautiful beaches with natural swimming pools, guajataca forest, family caves, and more. There is Avery good Criollo BBQ nearby for cheap and goid local cuisine, a great fruit shop and a pharmacy. Very calm at night (except for the rooster in the morning... but its actually funny )

Grabriel es un anfitrión excelente, muy amable y comprometida con sus clientes. Él fue a tiempo a la llegada y muy atento y disponible en todo momento. La cerradura con llave para la caja es una gran característica. La casa es del tamaño adecuado para un pequeño grupo o familia, en una zona muy agradable y tranquilo y tiene todo lo que necesita tener una gran estancia, cómodas camas, ventiladores aireado, cocina y baños equipados. Además, la casa estaba muy limpia. Esta es una propiedad muy agradable y un muy buen anfitrión.

Excelente lugar, super lindo, limpio, cómodo y muy accesible a las playas y establecimientos para comer y disfrutar con amistades. Mi pareja y yo disfrutamos mucho la estadía y deseamos volver pronto. Gabriel gracias por las atenciones, eres tremenda persona.

Gabriel is a wonderdul host! Great communication and very helpful throughout our travels. The house was more than adequate for what our family needed and great location for visiting west coast and caves. We really enjoyed our stay!
