Rose Nest at the beach Puerto Rico

Before our stay, I had concerns about a negative review that I saw on Google Maps so I reached out to the host. The owners (husband and wife) called me personally to discuss and explain this negative review. They addressed all concerns and texted additional photos and videos. Everything they said turned out to be true and the property was great. The house is centrally located between Old San Juan and Crash Boat Beach which I highly recommend visiting both (1 hour drive). The appearance of the neighborhood appears a little run down but is very safe and within walking distance to a bakery/convenience store and sandwich shop, and a short drive down the road there are a few great restaurants. The home is located on a beautiful private beach with a great outdoor space with a great pool. The space was very comfortable for our seven person family (adult children).Three main bedrooms inside the home with a fourth bedroom/bathroom located outside, below the pool area. Cold air conditioning in all four bedrooms. Host Iza was very sweet and made checkin/checkout very easy. Pool guy showed up one morning as scheduled and did a great job with the cleaning. Our family had an amazing time and highly recommend this property.

Beautiful beach We were a bit nervous coming into the property because it is located in a rundown neighborhood. Literally there are cars on the street with no tires and abandoned houses everywhere. The house was clean and the view was amazing, we were right on the beach. The lighthouse Beach was only about 2 minutes from where we were and it was a protected cove that was much safer to swim in then the each in front of the house. The carousel bakery was a short walk and we had breakfast there every morning. The owners were very nice. Overall our stay was good we just wish the location of the property was closer to a nicer town, it was a very long travel to go anywhere. One thing we really liked about the property is all the linen smelled really clean and the house was modern.

Wonderful peaceful hideaway My husband and I travelled with my parents to spend a long weekend at Rose Nest in January. We were looking for a beautiful peaceful warm weather escape, and this absolutely nailed it. The property and view from the house are wonderful. The house and pool were very clean. The bedrooms each have individual AC units so sleeping is very comfortable. With the back and front doors to the house open, you get a decent cross breeze in the living space. The kitchen was well appointed - we had everything that we needed to cook and fully enjoy the home. The beach in front of the house is expansive and pretty private. Although the surf was too high outside the house to swim, there is a protected cove about a half mile walk down the beach with flat and crystal clear water that made for a great swimming spot. The village of Jarealito is tiny and quiet but has a small bakery/market, sandwich shop, and small restaurant within just a few minutes walk of the house. The neighborhood felt very safe. Within a few minutes driving from the house, there are more options for restaurants (many right on the water for incredible views while you dine). Aside from visiting local beaches and restaurants, there isn’t necessarily a lot “to do”, but if you’re in the market for a relaxing beach getaway, this is it. Note: communication from property manager didn’t come til day of check-in, but arrival and departure were smooth. The listing has a washer/dryer, but it costs extra to use it.
