WE HAVE GONE SOLAR. We have 20 solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall2 battery, plus we still are connected to the grid. No more issues with power outages! The house was totally repaired and repainted after Hurricane María and looks more beautiful than ever. It is ready for your next relaxing vacation in the tropics!

Vista Montemar is a comfortable two story house overlooking the Caribbean Sea in a serene and secure gated community. Two spacious L-shaped verandas and a rooftop terrace afford panoramic views and the best in outdoor living. Ceiling fans throughout the house and verandas plus a/c units in bedrooms and kitchen add to the comfort provided by the ocean breezes. Bask in the gorgeous tropical flora and be lulled to sleep by the sounds of coquís (Puerto Rican tree frogs) and island birds. In the quiet of the early morning or late evening, you can even hear the surf!

The kitchen comes fully equipped, the house is tastefully furnished, and has a separate, indoor laundry room.

Each of the three bedrooms has its own door leading to the second floor balcony, and window shades to block the early morning sun, if desired. The centrally located upstairs full bathroom is shared by all three bedrooms. There is also another bathroom on the first floor, which features an attached outdoor shower, and a separate outdoor shower behind the house which is for rinsing off the sand after a day at the beach. Ample outdoor seating is provided in both covered verandas, as well as two hammocks on the second story veranda. A spiral staircase leads to the rooftop terrace, where additional patio furniture creates a relaxing environment in which to enjoy a cool drink amid stunning panoramic views by day and a starry sky by night.

The property is beautifully landscaped with all manner of tropical flora, including flowering flamboyant trees and amapolas (the official flower). There is plenty of parking space within the gated property.

Excellent home away from home!
Vista Montemar was the perfect home away from home for us on our trip to Puerto Rico! The community is gated and there is a gate in front of the house as well, so we all felt safe and comfortable at all times. The house was clean and Norma even let us check in early since we came in on a red eye flight from LAX. Norma was an excellent host, communicating with her was quick and seamless. She answered text messages quickly and gave us some fun suggestions of things to do on the island. The walk down the hill to the beach was great, Norma provided a key fob since the entry to the beach is gated. Beach towels, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas & other toys were provided. I planned other excursions as well, most of them ranged from a 30 to 45 minute drive from the house. We enjoyed this because it allowed us to get a sense of what living on the island is like since the house isn't in a heavy tourist area. We had fun singing songs on our drives too! We got groceries at the Walmart in Humaco for our stay, the Walmart was about a 15 minute drive from the house. It was on our routes to and from the house so it was easy to pop in and grab items on our way home as well. Overall, this is a great choice if you are planning a trip to Puerto Rico. The location puts you in a beautiful spot where the forest comes alive and night and you can wake up to the gorgeous blue Caribbean waters. Norma is an excellent host, if we come back to Puerto Rico we will defiantly be staying here again!!

About the host

Hosted by Norma Pettit

Host profile image
My husband and I fell in love with Vista Montemar at first sight. It was exactly what we were looking for--a quiet, relaxing place away from the hustle and bustle of San Juan, yet conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants, and only a 40 minute drive from the airport. I am Puerto Rican, and though my husband is not, he loves the island and its people, sights and culture as much as I do. We want to share our beautiful home with you and allow you to experience this island paradise in what we consider to be the perfect setting.

Why they chose this property

El Cocal Beach and Country Club was established fifty years ago to create a community of residents dedicated to preserving the flora and fauna of the area. The southeastern corner of Puerto Rico has unique vegetation and wildlife. The variety of coquí, or Puerto Rican tree frog, that lives in this region makes a distinctive sound. All coquí frogs sing their name, ”Coquí! Coquí.” But the variety of coquí found in Yabucoa sings, 'Coquí-qui-qui’. We were also thrilled to find out that marine turtles lay their eggs on our beach between the months of March and June! A local conservation group watches out for and protects these turtle nesting areas.

What makes this property unique

Most of the time the only sounds you will hear are those of the birds and coquis serenading you to sleep at night. Wake up refreshed and ready to enjoy a cup of Puerto Rican coffee and a view of the azure Caribbean Sea from the second floor balcony. Come and enjoy nature at its best at Vista Montemar!
