The Space:

This single-level cottage is tucked into the countryside of Barrio Río Abajo, Ceiba, with one bedroom and one ensuite bathroom, sleeping up to three guests between a queen bed and a sofa bed. The kitchen is fully equipped — refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, rice maker, coffee maker, blender and toaster — and an outdoor kitchen extends cooking and dining into the garden. A patio, dining table and outdoor seating make the most of the garden and mountain views, while a desk and laptop-friendly workspace suit those mixing in a little remote work. The home is thoughtfully set up for families, with a safe, outlet covers, corner guards and a baby monitor already in place.



Guest Access:

You'll have full access to the entire cottage, as well as the property's shared amenities and common areas.

Check-in is self-service via an on-site lockbox, and the gated community is accessed with its own code. Free parking is available on the premises and on the street, including a reserved space for guests with disabilities.



The Neighborhood:

Barrio Río Abajo sits in the rural countryside of Ceiba, on Puerto Rico's east coast — a quieter, greener alternative to the island's more built-up beach towns. It's a good match for travelers looking to slow down surrounded by mountains and gardens, while staying within easy reach of Fajardo's ferry terminal for day trips to Culebra and Vieques.



Getting Around:

Based on the general location of Ceiba, Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan is an estimated 50-60 minute drive; the Fajardo ferry terminal for Culebra and Vieques is roughly 15-20 minutes away, and El Yunque National Forest is about 20-30 minutes away. These are estimates rather than a live route calculation, so we recommend confirming with us closer to your trip. A car is the most practical way to get around this rural part of the island.

Utilities & Weather in Ceiba

- Electricity Management: Due to the energy situation in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, power outages can occur from time to time. We have a backup generator so you're never left in the dark, though its runtime depends on responsible use. During an outage, we recommend limiting higher-draw items — A/C, microwave, hair dryer, washer/dryer, and chargers — so the generator lasts as long as possible for everyone.

- Water Supply: Water outages are uncommon, and we're prepared with backup water tanks on-site. If an external service interruption happens, we recommend using water only for the essentials and pausing the washing machine until service is restored.

- Extended Outages: If an outage lasts more than 3 hours and you choose to stay, you may request a refund for the affected nights. If you'd prefer to cancel the remainder of your stay, you may request a refund for the unused nights.

- Hurricane & Storm Policy: We want your stay to be safe, but weather is out of our control. No refunds are issued for weather-related cancellations; however, in the event of a storm, we're happy to help you reschedule, subject to calendar availability.

- We appreciate your understanding and will always do our best to support you.
