The beach is a one minute walk down at the end of the same street. It's located inside of the nature preserve so it's very quiet since it's almost exclusively used by the small gated community. Sometimes you will see kayakers from the nature preserve, or local fisherman close to shore. You might be so fortunate to witness the huge leatherback turtles laying their eggs in the sand, or the hatchlings being born and scrambling into the ocean waters.
There are lots of great local places to eat close by, some are walkable but all are accessible by car. A car is required for any stay in Puerto Rico.
Hiking, beach access, Nature Reserve, fishing, tons of beach toys...
We are happy to welcome you to beautiful Puerto Rico and very grateful for the opportunity to host your vacation in our little piece of heaven….We will strive to be on-call to answer questions, give directions, or any other general information you might require. Feel free to call from 9 am to 9 pm. We really are anxious to help you. We welcome you personally to the villa for the grand tour and load you up with a ton of info on the local areas. The principal guest MUST be at the Initial check in. Below we have listed general information on the area and fun things to do.
PLEASE RELY ON US or on our manual. In our manual you will find the places nearby to enjoy great coffee, fresh fish, local Island dishes, as well as awesome places to connect with nature. A copy can be found in the Villa.
FRESH FISH & SEAFOOD TURNOVERS READY TO FRY OR COOK ON THE BBQ BACK AT THE VILLA: Mary Elsie or Angel Luis (right in the village, 3 mins away from Villa). Call or go by to see what the boats have brought ashore in the fishing dock .
SERVICES & GENERAL INFO:
MAID SERVICE: Please remember that an additional basic cleaning fee of $150 is required at mid-stay (Day 5) when you book 10 or more nights. Call us to coordinate.
GARAGE DOOR: Code will be provided to you at check-in.
OUR POLICIES:
FYI- The electricity in Puerto Rico is fairly reliable, but occasionally it does go out. If this happens, chances are that a neighbor has already filed a complaint to the Electric Authority, but just to make sure that has already happened, please let us know, and we will immediately issue an advisory. Depending on the issue, it might take from a few hours to a day, before the service is addressed and restored. In the meantime, that might be a good time to hit the road, and go on a new adventure, try a new restaurant, or visit a new town. We will definitely give you suggestions as to where to go or what to do.
LAUNDRY - IMPORTANT… PLEASE:
• DO NOT overload the washer.
• Shake out (well) all towels outside to REMOVE SAND PRIOR to washing. Otherwise clogging will occur, and service will be interrupted.
• Clean the lint from dryer screen after each use.
• If you’re washing our towels, bed sheets or covers, ALWAYS wash whites with whites and colors with colors (do not mix).
• Please do NOT use white towels to rinse or clean your sunblock or remove make-up, as towels will stain permanently.
(Important: Please note that charges will be issued when washer and dryer are used incorrectly. Charges will also apply to you for every white towel and/or piece of laundry if dyed another color or used for make-up removal or dirt removal)
PETS: While we are animal lovers, to maintain our properties in top shape and allergy/dander free, we do NOT allow pets in our Villas (inside or outside) at any time. Please respect our policy. Failure to do so, will sadly result in immediate expulsion from the property.
UNATTENDED ITEMS: Bougain-Villa and/or property owner/manager will not be responsible for items left unguarded.
SUNBLOCK & REPELLENT: We usually have plenty of sunblock and mosquito repellant, but it might be a good idea to stop and get the one that better suits you and your family. When wearing sunscreen, be sure to apply sunscreen first, then repellent once sunscreen has dried. Cover exposed skin with long sleeves and long pants when traveling through rainforests and around standing water.
Please find these items in a white basket next to the hanging beach towels, turning left as soon as you enter the house. Feel free to leave your unused containers of sunscreen & repellant.
A/C’s: A/C units consume the most power, so PLEASE DO NOT run any of the units with exterior doors and windows open. This will cause the unit to freeze and become inoperable. A technician will have to be called in and they are not always available immediately. To conserve energy, please turn off the A/C units as you go out.
BEACH ITEMS: The Villa is equipped with everything you need to have a good time at the beach. Please make sure to bring back all beach toys, towels, chairs, umbrellas, floaters, boogies, etc. when finished for the day. Nothing should be left at the beach.
SAND: We know you’ll enjoy our beautiful beach. Returning from the beach, you’ll have a lot of sand on your feet, towels, beach toys and chairs. We kindly ask for you to shake your towels well BEFORE getting in the house (and doing laundry), and to USE the hose or OUR OUTDOOR SHOWERS to rinse off the sand on your feet and chairs, before settling in. You can also leave your shoes at the entrance, as you go inside the house.
BBQ GRILL: A grill lighter will be found in the kitchen drawer, under the cooktop. Please be sure the charcoal is completely extinguished after use, and make sure the area is clean before going to bed. DO NOT leave food residue on the grill. Failing to remove food residue, will attract ants, bugs, and other animals. For your convenience, you will find a hose, in the patio.
MOSQUITOES, IGUANAS, ANTS, LIZARDS AND OTHER BUGS: You are vacationing in the tropics! The house is constantly being fumigated, yet there will always be bugs that find their way in, especially if doors are left open and food is left out. We always recommend keeping doors and windows closed. Since the houses are on the beach or near the beach, tiny insects (no see’ums) come out at dusk and those might result in uncomfortable itching. To prevent that, please use repellant. (SEE SUNBLOCK & REPELLENT SECTION ABOVE). Iguanas are large lizards who love to hang out near the palm trees. If you see them, please don’t feed them or try to catch them. They are harmless but if you try to touch them, they will defend themselves with their tail.
SUPPLIES: We provide basic household supplies for our guests, but please be sure to buy extra shampoo, soap, paper towels, toilet paper, and your favorite washing detergent for long stays. Some additional trash bags are also left on the kitchen counter.
CHECK-OUT: Check-out is at 10am. If they are no other guests arriving on your departure day, we can arrange for a later check-out if needed. Please let us know. Upon check-out, we would greatly appreciate your help in the following areas:
• Please turn off ALL lights, fans, and A/C units.
• If we can’t personally check you out for some reason, please call for instructions on where to leave the key and the beeper.
• Have a safe flight back!
A car is required for any stay in Puerto Rico outside of Old San Juan. This location is about 45 minutes from SJU.
Our house is located inside a nature preserve. There are lots of small wild animals around. These include: iguanas, birds, crabs, coquis, and other Caribbean island animals but nothing dangerous : )
