The pool, pool house/outdoor kitchen, and back patio were amazing! We spent almost all of our time outside. My 8 and 6 year old daughters loved the pool and having a restroom in the pool house was very convenient. The grill was brand new which was great. The yard is very private & beautiful and we enjoyed daily visits from hen & chicks, rooster, lizards and a sleepy cat who would nap along the back wall. Very convenient to Luquillo, El Yunque, and excursions. Would love to visit this VRBO again! One note - it was very hard for us to find using the address and linked map from VRBO, I’d suggest getting detailed directions w/landmarks (like Burger King or the college for example) from Sally a day or so in advance so you know you’re heading to the correct neighborhood! Once we found it everything else was perfect!
Lots of pool and beach toys to enjoy!

Sally was MORE THAN accommodating, great host. Our only issue, the floors were unsafe and there was deferred maintenance around the home. We were traveling with an older crowd, and we were very worried about walking on the floors. We ended up paying for two nights but only stayed for one. The outdoor area was beautiful.

We just returned from the most unforgettable 40th birthday weekend at Hacienda Azucar, and I truly cannot say enough about our host, Sally.From the moment we booked, Sally went above and beyond in ways we’ve never experienced with a vacation rental. She surprised me with cupcakes to help celebrate my birthday, purchased a brand-new TV so we could watch the Super Bowl, and even allowed us to set it up outside so our group of 10 could enjoy the game together. That level of thoughtfulness and flexibility is rare.She gave us fantastic restaurant recommendations, connected us with an amazing catamaran excursion, and even gave us a ride when we needed one. Every detail felt intentional and generous.The home itself was perfect for our group — beautiful, comfortable, and ideal for a celebratory weekend with friends. But what truly made the experience exceptional was Sally. We arrived as guests and left feeling like we had made a friend on the island.If you’re considering Hacienda Azucar, book it. You will not regret it.

Sally was an excellent host. Great communication and recommendations. The house is well-stocked with everything we could possibly need. I was especially grateful for the plastic containers we could use to take food with us to the beach. There isn't air conditioning in the main parts of the house, but the AC units in the bedrooms work very well and we slept quite comfortably. The large covered patio was great. We had dinner out there several times. The yard is beautiful and my family enjoyed the pool. The bathroom near the pool was very useful. The neighborhood is wonderful - safe and quiet and within walking distance to the town's main plaza. The only reason I'm not giving a 5-star rating is the condition of the floors in the house. There are several areas where the floor bends and buckles when stepped on. It was very surprising and unsettling.

This house was just what my family needed during our vacation in Puerto Rico. The rooms are big and the living areas are well decorated with useful and interesting touches. The host was very responsive to any questions and she left a cabinet full of helpful information for sights to see . The yard, outside area and pool are wonderful, too. We got to see an iguana and some other lizards hanging out in the yard. We had a great stay and would certainly stay here again in the future!

Beautiful home…great host!

Our stay was amazing! The house is located very conveniently with close proximity to several grocery stores, El Yunke Rainforest and Luquillo beach. It was also an easy drive to San Juan. The house itself has everything you need. The host, Sally, has thought of all the details! The little extras she had were really helpful. Such as extra shampoo, conditioner, suncreen, etc. The kitchen boasted many extras and any type of cooking accessory you would need! I was nervous at first about there not being AC in the main living space, and it does get hot out there. But the bedrooms get cold and stay cool! So that was not an issue at all.Sally was extremely communicative and responded to any question I had almost immediately. She is also very knowledgeable of the area as she is local and can give you great pointers on things to do in the area. If we ever go back to PR, we would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Home - Excellent homebase

This is a gorgeous historic home. As a group of 2 families, with kids ranging from 8 yrs to 20 yrs, the pool and very large covered patio are where we spent most of our time. We really only ventured inside to sleep and prepare food - and for these activities we very much appreciated the AC in the bedrooms and the spacious and well stocked kitchen! The house is thoughtfully stocked with pool & bath towels, coffee, plenty of glassware and dishes, trash bags, and even dishwasher and washing machine detergent. The best amenity is by far Sally herself!! Sally was extremely helpful and a wonderful source of information and suggestions on things to do and see. She went very much above and beyond in helping us book outings and sending us links for El Yunque trails and specific beaches and grocery stores. Really just a joy to talk to and work with. Will definitely recommend!

Excellent multi-generational Family Vacation

We stayed at Sally’s place with a large group of 12 including grandparents all the way down to toddlers. Sleeping arrangements were a bit tight, although plenty of beds, but the property was otherwise perfect for spreading out into smaller groups when needed, but with communal spaces to hang together when desired. The pool and property were perfect for the kids and poolside patio for lounging for the adults while keeping an eye on the younger ones. The location was great- private, gated neighborhood centrally located, although not walkable to the beach, was a perfect launching point for our adventures. The kitchen was huge and great for preparing meals for a crowd, when needed. Sally responded quickly and efficiently to questions and resolved an initial issue with bedding quickly, but was otherwise unobtrusive and left us to enjoy our vacation to ourselves. She had great recommendations for outings/bookings but we never felt pressured to do any of those “extras.” If you’re looking for a comfortable space to launch a family vacation from, this was ideal.

Great Place - Easy to Recommend - Will Return

Easy to give a strong recommendation for this rental! The host is very responsive and very helpful in providing information about the house as well as helping coordinate with respect to other things you might need during the visit. The host went the extra mile for us because we had three children under age 2 staying with us. She had great connections in the community, including with chefs to come do a private dinner at the house (which was done for us outside - it was awesome!). The property was clean and had everything we needed for hanging out at the house and pool everyday! For families with young ones, the location felt safe and was fenced in so the little ones couldn't get off property. The pool was perfect size, the big yard was spacious and even though we were in a gated neighborhood, we felt like we were in our own oasis. Even got to see some cool wildlife come through like some lizards and iguanas (all of which were respectful of our space and we of theirs)! The little pool house had a shower and toilet which was super convenient. The gas grill was great for cooking local fresh snapper too! Also, the spacious covered patio with ceiling fans and lights was our main hangout location the entire trip, it was cool, shady, and a clean area for the kids to crawl around. Perfect for mid-large size groups with kids looking to explore the eastern side of PR! Would write more if VRB O let me - but this place was just perfect! Would definitely return!

Beautiful and quiet property!

The property is in a very quiet gated community. It is close to many bars, restaurants and eateries. We went to El Cayo several nights for dinner and they have the best Pina Coladas on the island (in our opinion). There was some confusion on the day of check in as we arrived quite late and didn't realize that when you type in the provided code on the keypad at the entrance, that you are actually calling someone so they can let open the gate. After that, things went smooth and we were provided a key fob for driving in and out. The house itself is historic and quite old. We were aware and appreciate the historic value of the home. The air conditioning in each bedroom works great and cools down the rooms quickly, but the other areas do not have air conditioning. That was fine with us as we spent most of our time outdoors in the beautiful pool. That area is spectucular and it was nice to use in our days when we needed to take a break from all the sightseeing/beach days. The kitchen has many necessary utensils, a regular coffee maker, blender, air fryer and small appliances. I had hoped to cook breakfast but could not find a decent pan/griddle to make pancakes; the electric griddle was broken and there other pans were not non-stick. Not all of the burners worked either. I wasn't planning on cooking a meal, so no biggie! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time!
