Casa Blanca beach house is by far one of the best vacation homes I have stayed in. With a jaw dropping view, it's easy to loose track of what day it is. Leaving was one of the hardest things I've done. The beach is great for walking and there are several restaurants and bars near by. I would definitely suggest staying here.

We had the most beautiful time staying here at Casa Blanca. From the moment we got in touch with Armando and Yolanda, we were impressed with fast and precise answers to all our questions. When we arrived at the house, they were there even if we were quite a bit late. The pictures here at AirBnB cannot describe the cozy atmosphere outside the house. Sitting at the pavilion eating breakfast while watching the waves crash ashore, is something you have to experience. The neighbourhood was quiet and the beaches were empty because the citizens found the water and weather too cold!! The temperature was between 26 and 30 degrees celsius and the water temperature around 24-25. Quite perfect for Scandinavians. The kitchen had everything we needed. In the beginning it was a little strange doing all the cooking outside, but it felt quite natural after a couple of days. Just a few meters from the house, you will find a bar called Kai with good food and refreshing drinks. When we were to leave, both Armando and Yolanda came to say good bye and we also met and had a long chat with their son, who is in charge of the AirBnB stuff. They were so lovely all three, and we would love to come back next year. Inger Lise and Sigbjorn Norway

The pictures do not do this place justice it is absolutely beautiful. The outdoor kitchen let everyone enjoy the beach and Atlantic waves on the rocks even during cooking. The grill is great for fish and steaks. Fish market and bakery is walking distances. Walmart and local supermarkets are all a short drive. We called Yolanda for propane for the grill and Armondo arrived with in minutes. Cosa Blanca is very quiet and private. It is like it is your on beach. The house is 45 min to crash boat beach, 35 min to Shack beach great snorkeling, and a little over an hour to Rincon. Yolanda and Armando have connections for most anything we asked. They are GREAT hosts. We will be returning to this beautiful place.

You will love this place! First of all, Yoli and Armando were wonderful hosts and they gave us great restaurant recommendations. Anything we asked or needed, they were there to help us and they were so nice! We could not have asked for a better place to relax and feel at home. We certainly did not want to leave. My husband went to the Puerto Rico Bakery every day ( a five minute walk) to get cafe con leche and pastries-- they make their pastries fresh at 9 am every morning, and we also got sandwiches a couple of times. Delicious! The place is easy to get to and convenient to many tourist sites-we went to to the Camuy Caverns (arrive early, by 8 am, and I don't think they are open on Monday or Tuesday), the Arecibo Observatory (these two can be done in one day), the Caguana Taino Ceremonial Park, the Cueva del Indio near Arecibo, a day trip to San Juan, another day trip to El Yunque rainforest. This is a wonderful, comfortable place in which to enjoy Puerto Rico. Yoli gave us the name of her massage therapist, Roberto, who came to the beach house and gave three of us a wonderful, relaxing massage with the sound of the waves in the background. Amazing! We are already planning to come back!

After winter storm Stella derailed our plans with canceled flights, Yolanda and Armando could not have been more accommodating. From picking us up at the San Juan airport at 2am to driving us to get our rental cars the next morning, they exceed all of my preconceived standards of what a host should be. They made sure we had the best time possible. My 6 friends and myself had an incredible week of blissful vacation in Camuy. The house has everything you need, the location is fantastic and this house makes me wish I have to cook outside for every meal. The beds are comfortable and the house was very clean. We spent too many evenings taking the 2 minute stroll down the beach to KAI beach bar for strong drinks and great live music (be sure to get the Mahi Mahi bites). The bakery, a 3-4 minute walk, is also fantastic for breakfast with their cheap but hardy menu items. Camuy is a great location to head east or west, we went to San Juan and Rincon for day trips. The single downside to Casa Blanca is that the beach at the house is not a "swimming" beach. You can wade into the pool formed by the rocks at high tide or drive 60 seconds down the road to a beach more suitable for swimming, but this did not detract from our stay. I could not recommend this home and Yolanda and Armando more. Plus you can't beat the hammock! I look forward to staying at Casa Blanca again.

What a wonderful time we had at Casa Blanca. The location on the beach is incredible. You can hear the waves crashing throughout the night. I love how the home opens up to such a fabulous ocean view. The hosts were so helpful and kind as well. I highly recommend this home to vacationers!

Armando and Yolanda are excellent hosts, available to you for anything you need. Their place is truly amazing, super comfortable and steps away from the beach. At first we were a bit intimidated by the outdoor kitchen but by the end of our stay we were talking about how much we were going to miss it. The beach is perfect for wading, with natural rock formations that help break the surf and form little "pools" of water. If you are looking for a place to relax and reconnect with nature, this is an ideal location. We highly recommend it!

Armando and Yolanda were amazing. We have several hangup on our vacation and they were right there to help. First when we arrived we couldn't get a car as they had none available till Monday and we arrived on Saturday. They were going to drive 2 hours to the airport to pick us up and even give us their vehicle for the whole week to ensure we had a good time. We ended up finding a car thankfully, but it took 2 hrs. So tip, make sure to rent your car before you come because everyone is sold out and it is not fun being stuck at the airport for 2 hours calling place after place looking for a car. Next my mom broke out in hives while we were there , they were quick to show up, bring us to an emergency clinic on two different occasions, stay to translate, and even check several other times to make sure she was doing ok. We were nervous about renting a place that didn't have any reviews, but this was so much more than we could expect. There is a little bakery right down the road and a restaurant as well both within walking distances. If you really want to experience the culture this is a great town to stay in and Armando and Yolanda are great hosts. I could go on and on, but this place is well worth it and just look at the view. There were 7 of us and it was plenty of room.

What a great place to relax and enjoy hatillo. Very big apartment with a large bed and we loved it. Aly was super friendly and after meeting her we were left on our own with our own privacy. She recommended playa de sardinera close by for a great morning at the beach, as well as other things to do close by. I recommend staying here.

Wow what a great place to call home. This apartment has all you need. Very quiet area. Amazing view to the ocean. And to top it off Aly was a great host. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much Aly for everything you did to make my stay feel like home!

My wife and I stayed at Aly's place for a week. It was just as described and we found it perfect for our needs. Aly was always accessible and responsive. We will definitely try to stay at her place during our visits back. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood in a centralized location with access to all you need. Thanks again Aly for a great stay.

Aly was an amazing host. The apartment had everything you would need for your stay. She gave great information about local restaurants and beach locations. I would highly recommend this location for a stay in Hatillo.

Our accommodations were exactly as expected. Although not listed, WiFI was available. Linens/towels were of very good quality. The home was very clean, well decorated and beds very comfortable. Aly even stocked the fridge with some water and sunburn relief lotion.

She was very welcoming and met us nearby so we could follow her to the place.

I loved my stay at Aly's place. It was gorgeous and clean. Aly was the best host ever with great ideas for places to eat and fun things to do. I was only there for a couple days and will definitely be going back and staying there again. It's a great location near secluded beaches, the rain forests, caves, the observatory, and about 45 minutes from Old San Juan. A perfect location to be if you don't want to be in the hustle and bustle of the city. I am already planning my next vacation back there with my daughter.

Aly was amazing! She was extremely accommodating to our last minute request! Her place is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. She lives upstairs and was available anytime we needed anything, yet we still had privacy. She made great recommendations for places to visit. We truly enjoyed our time in PR and would highly recommend Aly's place if you are looking for something in Hatillo or near Arecibo. We hope her place is available the next time we visit!

we got into camuy really late so we called Lila(host) for directions she was more than happy to direct us.lila knows her area very well so don't hesitate to call if u need some directions.once we got there she welcomed us with a warm reception.we made our way to the back where her private 2nd floor villa is located.once we made up the stairs lila gave us the run down of where to go eat, nightlife and beautiful beaches that surrounded us and a quick background of the place.we had our own refrigerator,we definitely put that to use and the complimentary popcorn. impeccable bathroom and kitchen, with forks and knives.the.air conditioner that cooled the room quickly and ceiling fan.flat screen TV that my partner used every night.waking up in the morning to a beautiful composition of views,from the east to the west of the (URL HIDDEN) upstairs had all the amenities we needed for our stay.step out the room into a small balcony they have a small table with two chairs with a view of the pool,which by the way is yours while you stay at this villa.and walking the down the stairs on the way to the pool there's another bathroom which u can use as well.next to the pool is a bar area.the pool area with the bar compliments each other very well,put it to use if you have time.this listing is surrounded by plenty of places and activities to do. beautiful beaches and excursions such as horse back riding and "the the caves of Rio camuy". we stayed in two other places in Puerto Rico and this was the best listing.lila and her husband were accommodating to the maximum.they are army parents that are attentive,generous and benevolent.they gave us the right balance of privacy and attentiveness.we used the pool for a couple hours while having some drinks lila came and provided us with music and floats for the pool.her husband was there and surprised us with some coconuts he cut.it was a utopia for me and my partner.i don't know what's more amazing how beautiful the place was or how lila made us feel like at home.we couldn't ask for better host and a more conviviality experience.we will be staying here again next year.

Lila & her husband were friendly, helpful, kind, & gracious. Wether we needed a dinner recommendation, a blender, or just a chuckle, they were there to lend a hand. Loved the space, our neighbors - the grazing cows in the pasture next door, the wild horses, and all the local flavors. This is the place where midwestern friendliness meets tropical island living!

Lila was GREAT! Found the house with no problems. Once I got there she showed us around the property and made it feel like home. There was a list of activities to do in the area from seeing the caves, to zip lining, all the beaches near by and good restaurants. We even went out Friday for drinks and karaoke. Sunday in Puerto Rico is beach/pool day. We had a nice BBQ with some Puerto Rican coconut cake. All in all a great experience and I recommend everybody check out the property. See you guys soon!!

The house was really clean and nice. Charo provided all the things you need for a great beach day, as well as a full kitchen for cooking. Walking distance from some great beaches, and lots of cool stuff to see close by.

This house is great for someone who wants to stay in a private house nearby beach (5min walking distance) and see lot of attractions by car in the area. The house was very modern and stylish and super clean and tidy. Even though it's a detached house, take note that the sounds from the neigbourhood and passing cars can be quite loud. Charo was a lovely and helpful host, she helped us to find the house and had made everything ready for our stay in the house. She had even made a great little book of local attractions and good instructions on safe and comfortable stay in the house.

BLUF - it's well worth the trip, we will be back here again. Finding the house is the only real issue, but communications with Charo is easy and a breeze. Just make sure that your cell phone works as my Verizon Pixel XL didn't, (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Fi Nexus did. Other than that, it was like home, supermarkets, bakeries, and close to RT 2 allows you to get around the island with ease. We cooked and lived in the house with ease. It's minimalist living that we like, nothing to complicate the sound of the ocean from across the street. Bed was comfy, bathroom nice and clean, she provided all the things you would need, coffee, sugar to toiletries, toothpaste and new tooth brushes. This was a better stay than any hotel. I can go on and on about my stay but like the BLUF says we will be happy and excited to be back here again. Charo, thank you for sharing your home with us and we hope to come back here again.

This place was wonderful! Charo's home is beautiful, a quick walk to the gorgeous beach, we walked to a couple local bars and restaurants during our stay and the locals are so nice and welcoming. The Cueva del Indio and Cueva Ventaña are must-sees!!!! Charo is an amazing host and is in communication as much or as little as you'd like her to be. This area is quiet and country-like but still near the most gorgeous beaches!! My boyfriend and I had an excellent week here! Highly recommend. :)

Charo is a fantastic host. She gave us directions over the phone as our GPS didn't accurately find the place. When we got to her place she walked us around the house which is beautiful home with hammocks. She also took the time to walked us to the beach which is a 5 minutes away. She gave us recommendations where to eat and other beaches nearby. I wanted to surf so she called a friend that gave surf lessons and met us at Jobos beach and introduced me to her friend and had a blast surfing. She herself was out there surfing with me. It was such a great experience to meet someone like her to do something like that. The neighborhood was great, friendly and has some good resturants minutes away.

We loved it here! It's a two minute walk from the beach and close to all our favorite things to do such as hiking, kayaking, and exploring! Charo was such a great host and took time to show us around and was very responsive during our whole stay. Thanks Charo!

Perfect location. Perfect host. The cleanest airbnb we've ever seen and such a comfy bed! We recommend this place and would definitely stay there again!

Great host, get clean and spacious apartment. Very pleasant experience.

This was my first time using airbnb. I contacted Angel and from the beginning when he accepted my reservation he was all about customer service. Very nice, very helpful, answered any and every question I had. I was worried to be a pest. Met me upon my arrival with keys. Everything his apartment is advertised as is as he said. I was pleasantly surprised to be behind a locked gate. Hatillo is a very laid back place to stay. I couldn't stand San Juan in any way. Especially driving. Hatillo was definitely in the middle for everything we did. It was pretty peaceful. It took us a bit to realize we were hearing a frog not a bird. The neighbors dog would bark from time to time. But Angel is definitely a host that goes above and beyond. He goes the extra mile for his hosts. Yet he will leave you completely alone unless you contact him. If I ever make it to Puerto Rico again I wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else. The hot water is cooler than my normal hot steamer showers but with it in the 80's I wouldn't have been taking a super hot shower anyway.. There was plenty of towels, privacy, everything you need to cook your own meals. I can not say enough good things about this place I will never stay in a expensive hotel again with no privacy. Again I m so very thankful for everything Angel helped me with. He truly is a great person with a great apartment for people to rent.

Angel's place is private and well maintained, with excellent fans, good beds, parking and a nighttime chorus outside, but the best part is Angel himself, who is a wellspring of good advice and local understanding, not to mention history.

First time user and I had a very pleasant experience. Angel is a wonderful host, we also met his grandfather whom is also very accommodating and kind. Angel's place is very spacious, clean and comfortable. I will definitely book again.

Loved having the place to ourselves! Comfortable beds and loved having a nice hot shower. It's only a short distance from Arecibo where we ventured to the next day. Would return again!

Angel's place is a hidden gem!

Angel's apartment is more like a house! It's really spacious and decorated very nicely. It's perfect for a family. Angel and his grandfather were waiting for us and greeted us with a very warm welcome and tour of the house. They also had passion fruit and star fruit for us in the fridge which was delicious! On our second day, Angel brought us a wonderful bottle of homemade coquito and it was so perfect because I had been wanting to try it on our trip to PR. They also let us use their washing machine and laundry soap which we appreciated very much. We booked this house knowing that it was close to El Observatorio de Arecibo, Caves and Gozalandia. It was a nice central location for us to stay before we headed to Rincon and La Parguera.

Beautiful place! The host was very kind and helpful. I would give it 10 out of 10.

Beautiful place very close to the Ocean

Place was awesome, clean, peaceful, equipped with all we needed. Lily is a sweetheart and we will stay here again!!

Overall our stay at Villa Bañeres ocean front house was excellent. Jose was a great host and he was quick and prompt in responding to our needs. The house location is in beautiful, safe and peaceful neighbor hood. We enjoyed seeing ocean all day long from the house!!

We had a great stay at Villa Baneres. Jose is a great host. He was quick to respond when we arrived and could not fond the keys he came right over we arrived in the afternoon and he thought we were arriving latter that night. He also fixed the air conditioning unit in the master room quickly when it quit working. He also gave us local places to eat and sent us GPS directions. The house is spacious and comfortable and we enjoyed having the windows and French doors open to watch and listen to the ocean. over all I give the house and Jose 5stars

Beautiful home with a awesome view.

Where do we begin? First the villa--the house was just as described and even better than expected because it had wi-fi,netflix, and a washer and dryer that we hadn't anticipated. We were concerned that the steps shown in the picture would be too much, but those are steps from the beach not the parking so stairs were not too difficult to manage. The grounds were lovely and well maintained. The ocean view was spectacular and hearing the waves constantly was so lovely that we never turned on the air conditioning. Everything was furnished including a gas grill for BBQ, and stadium chairs for when we visited the beach.The location was great...rural but only 15 minutes from a super Walmart and Sam's club--what could be better:) We had never stayed on this part of the island before and found many beaches and beachfront restaurant to visit and explore. One of our favorites, El Fagon de Abuella is just a few minutes away, with great food; and karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights was fun. What can we say about our host, Jose, other than he was fabulous, attentive, responsive, quick and consistently went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and solve any problems we encountered, many of which had nothing to do with him or the property. For example, the first night we got terribly lost and Jose came out after midnight to get us back to the house. In another example, he came early one morning to lead us to a local fitness center when we had difficulty finding it. And he called periodically (we were there a month) in order to check in on us and to make sure all was well. And it was.

Villa bañeres is beautiful. You can sit on the patio and enjoy the sound of the sea all day long. The beach is a bit rocky but a sandy beach is only a 4 minute walk away. Camuy is a sleepy little town so of you are looking for a ton of action it is not for you. Jose is a great host. He went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. We needed a dentist after a small accident so he instantly called up his friend and got us an appointment and even drove us over there to make sure we don't get lost. I can only recommend staying with him!!

Great experience! Would go back a million times! It was our own little paradise!

What an amazing home and host! We had originally planned to stay in a condo but host canceled on us 3 weeks before we were set to arrive! Thankfully José was able to have us stay at his house. Beautiful, spacious, and very clean. The house is nicely decorated. A home away from home. Spectacular views from the balcony, you can have the windows and doors open and enjoy the ocean waves crashing because he has a private gate. We flew into San Juan airport, so it was an 1 hour and half drive, but it was a straight shot with so much culture to see, smell, and hear along the way. Excellent restaurants like El Caféton made getting a home cooked meal cheap and quick. José is a great host, answered every question in a timely fashion, and helped make our trip a memorable experience! Aguadilla's Crash boat beach was the best beach we visited and only 30 minutes away.

A wonderful place to stay at Puerto Rico's North Coast. The house is in perfect condition, spacious and direct on the water. Jose is a wonderful host who was responding to any open question within minutes. The area around Camuy is well outside of typical tourist areas which allows you to experience the true Puerto Rico on your own. We were traveling in a group of six adults and the house was not only spacious but also well equipped with everything to make us stay right at home. Highly recommended.
