The view was great. The wifi wasn't very strong and service was spotty. The home is a bit cluttered and dusty but has character. If you are sensitive to smells it is musty when opening cabinets and the shower a bit tricky - ran cold most of the time.

Tim’s rainforest house was the perfect choice for our three weeks in Puerto Rico - weekend ferry and flight to Vieques beaches and biobay, quick trips to Old San Juan for dinner and sights, evenings on Luquillo beach and frituras at the kiosks, a catamaran trip to Icacos Cay, mini excursions into the beautiful El Yunque, and celebrating the Patron Saint parade in Fajardo. The view of the valley is beautiful, and the house is well-appointed, with all of the amenities, including beach gear, cooking equipment, solar electricity for when the power gets spotty, and an upstairs master suite with Apple TV and sun deck. Our youngest enjoyed the coqui frogs, snails, local chickens, lizards and dogs of the neighborhood; we appreciated neighbor and property manger Cindy’s support and guidance. We were prepared to be in a Puerto Rican rainforest home, so cherished the raininess, potholed roads, early roosters, household incursions by our daughter’s little “friends,” and island time at local restaurants. Come prepared - this is not a Hilton, it is your amazing, authentic rainforest house. As non-rainforest dwellers, we weren’t quite prepared to shut off hot water for the sake of power and clothes wash with soap only in town. However, we also cherished amazing food, learning about vejigantes from Tim’s amazing mask (and finding our own in nearby Loiza), streaming video calls from work (usually!), and an affordable way to spend days in the privacy of our own slice of tropical paradise. A few tips: El Yerde BBQ (at turn off from 3) is a find! Go early for ribs; do a whole meal for take away to eat on your rainforest deck at sunset! Look up Asia for take away sushi; the rolls are fantastic (we loved those with crab and/or mango) and HUGE. At Luquillo, try kiosk #23. There is a fantastic food truck park that is predominantly weekend-only but with great and affordable food. It is across from Ekelekua, which has a yummy brunch. We enjoyed two outings to Brew!!! Taller Experimental, your nearby craft brewery (ask about what beers are not on the menu)! We did La Parilla in Luquillo for my birthday - go early and walk to the beach; they only accept reservations for 6+. Playa Azul beats out Luquillo; bring a snorkel! Please let Tim and Cindy know of any issues you have - all prior concerns were remediated prior to our visit, and both were there for us with questions during our extend stay. Enjoy your rainforest home (if we don’t rebook it first)!

The only thing about this rental that is accurate is the view! The pictures are not accurate at all, we just got back and basically only used the home to sleep and shower could not stay in it longer than that! The trees are overgrown there are tarps and construction being done the bathroom was filthy with a corroded shower curtain that obviously has never been changed , ,the stairwell to the master bedroom was rundown and slippery on a rainy night not lit so you can see where you’re walking also the property manager was informed of a dog that they own going to the bathroom constantly and nothing was done about it no one even came to clean up after the dog and on a dark Night the porch is not lit anyone can step into the dogs mess also a neighbor was peeking through the window downstairs so we were basically restricted to the top floor!There is only one beach lounge chair that is practically broken on the balcony & dry rotted and I cannot express enough that the pictures look nothing like the actual home The owner of the property is extremely nice and goes out of his way to help but unfortunately he does not live on the premises so he does not see who is caring for the home in his absence I did touch base and he did the best he could from a far but needless to say I feel I lost a lot of money on this trip because of this rental!

We have the most wonderful of stays at this house among the trees and the coqui frogs, thanks to the hospitality of the host and managers. It is very peaceful, but also just minutes from the beaches of Luquillo and an easy drive to Fajardo. The only issues we had was with the power (lights will dim, flicker or go out entirely) when showering, and no Wi-fi.

When we first arrived we could not believe how remote the property was...it seemed we were driving up a steep hill for a while. The view from that top deck with a cup of coffee in hand is so worth it. The bird watching is top notch. We enjoyed our stay so much that there was little reason to leave the house.

Check-in was easy-peasy thanks to Cindy, very welcoming and very accommodating and helpful. Only concern the space in one of the bedrooms used for storage by owner. Otherwise a great place if you're peace and quiet. With the exception of the last few nights dogs barking and gun fire were most concerning.

Beautiful house and view, well appointed kitchen (restaurants/grocery nearby), very comfortable beds (upstairs bedroom is awesome, love feeling like you're in the trees), great stargazing, check-in and check-out easy, location perfect for day trips to San Juan, local beaches, Fajardo, El Yunque Rainforest, Humacao nature reserve . We have chickens so the roosters crowing from 4am on made us feel at home; we loved it but, if you don't, a pillow over the head works fine. Listing indicates use of washer/dryer, but we were told we couldn't use the washer due to soap/rainforest issues 12 days after confirming. There's a laundromat in Luquillo but that is NOT convenient or useful for social distancing. Rte 3 can have heavy traffic at times, but it moves.

Casita Yunquita is a hidden gem. Tim is a highly committed and communicative host who made the renting experience flawless for us. And we had no idea how perfect the location was until we arrived at the property. There were four of us. We slept to jungle sounds and breezes (no air conditioning needed). We awakened to stunning hilly jungle views and wildlife. We hopped in our car and drove to El Yunque, Luquillo, Fajardo, and San Juan in 15-30 minutes. When we didn’t eat at our house, we ate at authentic (not fancy) Puerto Rican outdoor restaurants along route 3. We beached and kayaked in Fajardo. We went scuba diving in Culebra. We jumped off cliffs in El Yunque. We ate fancy food and danced salsa in San Juan. And we always came home to Tim’s little paradise in the jungle. Don’t tell too many people about this place. It is that good!

I recently stayed in Casita Yunquita. Dawn brings dappled sunlight, bird songs and the scent of Spanish Jasmine to the patio. Surrounded by a verdant garden, it’s the top spot for morning coffee. LOCATION: The house is in a tranquil location on a hilltop in a gated area at the end of a private road. From the balcony, there is a view as far as the eye can see. Sunsets are spectacular! And sitting there in the evening is enchanting. Crank up your Reggae and chill out in the gentle breeze as you enjoy the twinkling lights of distant homes and settlements. LOCATION: It’s close to El Yunque rainforest’s famous waterfalls and pools — about 15 minutes away. 20 minutes to Luquillo Beach, 35 minutes to Old San Juan and 45 minutes to the Laguna Grande Bioluminescent Lagoon. You can even take a day trip to Culebra Island and get back during daylight hours. LOCATION: It’s 30 minutes from the airport and 10 to 20 minutes to grocery stores, restaurants and a drop-off laundromat. So, close to all of the conveniences you’ll need during your stay. In three days, you can take in the trails, waterfalls, pools, beaches and nearby islands. Add another day for a daytime and evening stroll in Old San Juan and among the street murals of Santurce, the nearby art district. I’ve described the highlights that I’ve enjoyed. Go elsewhere if being peacefully away from the hustle and bustle is not for you. You can read the owner’s description for the basics. The price is dirt cheap, so take advantage before he catches.

Tim’s beautiful casita was the perfect home base for a week of adventure. Great location for day trips to San Juan and the East coast. The tropical sunset from the back patio is something I will never forget. So relaxing! Property manager was very kind and professional. Highly recommend this stayed . Would love to visit again.
