This contemporary Caribbean setting in El Yunque National Forest is a dream destination for those who love nature, peace and quiet. Perfect for a couple getaway, cozy for a family of 3. Private garden deck, with forest views, is great for BBQing, star gazing or just contemplating the beauty and ever changing of the forest views. Close to Luquillo Beach best beach around, hiking trails, bio-bay, sailing adventures. Come stay with us for a wonderful vacation in the magic of the rainforest!
We built the bungalow as a refuge in case of a strong hurricane and as a guest house for family and friends who would come and visit. Year after year they suggested that we rent the bungalow to tourists who would love to live the rainforest ambient, our experience as architects in showing them Old San Juan or the rainforest. Well we are giving-it the try. The 408 SF apartment is decorated in eclectic retro-modern Caribbean style with souvenirs we have picked-up in our trips in the Caribbean and it is private, relaxing and magical I would say. The 408 SF roof terrace, is a solarium during the day and a star gazing platform during the night and a wonderful BBQ nook for you to enjoy in your total privacy.
While being here, you will breathe the healthiest rainforest air rich in oxygen, ozone and free of most urban pollutants as well as being exposed to healing sun rays from 10-11 AM or 3-4 PM.
