Many families wonder if it is safe to venture outside of San Juan, this is the house for you in Rio Grande. We felt extremely safe. This home is close to beaches, Walmart, pharmacy, grocery stores, food trucks (with such good food),Family Adventure Park, National Forest, and Old San Juan is just 30 minutes away. The airport is 30 min away. The home is centrally located for many activities. The home is 50 min from the ferry. We had a four year old and she could handle the driving to and from activities. It is just a very safe place for a family. The host are supportive, answer questions, and reply in timely manner. Information is given to help. They are very understanding and sweet. We pretty much just texted each other as needed. The home is super clean. The pool was very much enjoyed by family and a bonus for privacy. We also loved knowing that any food left was going to church to help homeless. We did use the kitchen for breakfast and lunch which was perfect. We experienced more culture in Rio Grande. We even saw wild horses, iguanas, a gecko, and two parrots by the beach. We loved being out of San Juan for adventure and family fun! Many memories! Our older children - loved this home. We were worried they would want the San Juan atmosphere, but they both loved the experiences of the culture. I am a school teacher and my husband is a DARE officer so we understand searching for safe and affordable vacation time. We would visit Puerto Rico again and want to stay in this home.
