ENERGY USAGE DURING POWER OUTAGES
We strive to provide our guests with a comfortable stay; however, please be aware that Puerto Rico’s electrical grid is prone to interruptions. To mitigate this, our property is equipped with a robust 27-panel solar array and two Tesla Powerwall batteries to maintain essential power during short outages (less than 1 hour).

Important: In the event of a grid outage, guests may need to significantly reduce energy consumption to ensure continued operation of critical systems. This includes limiting or avoiding the use of air conditioners, as these appliances can quickly deplete the stored energy in the batteries.

We reserve the right to remotely turn off air conditioners, pool heater and other non-essential, energy- intensive appliances until the grid power is restored. Please note this is a rare occurrence and typically power interruptions are short and handled by our backup system without interruption or notice to the guest- but it is a possibility so keep that in mind prior to booking.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Please note that our pool and yard maintenance team may visit the property during your stay for routine upkeep. To minimize any disruption to your enjoyment during the day, These visits are scheduled early in the morning.

Family trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the driftwood house. The house is beautiful, clean, and has a good set up for large (or smaller) groups. The neighborhood felt very safe and was quiet both day and night. We had no issues to speak of during our stay and the property manager and owner were very easily accessible. The views were stunning everyday. The water can be a little rough at the beach, but I think that’s just the nature of that part of the island at times. We did enjoy a swim at the beach and there’s a lot of hiking and mountain biking nearby. It was very easy for us to get groceries delivered or run to the nearby store if needed. The house had everything we needed in terms of bathroom, kitchen, beach and pool supplies. The amenities were all good quality which we appreciated! We would surely rent this house again. Thanks for a wonderful stay

Spectacular breathtaking home

The photos of this property do not do it justice. It is absolutely breathtaking. It was everything. I was hoping it would be and more. I would recommend this house to everyone my siblings and I have not been all together under the same roof in 30 years and we decided to do a sibling family reunion. We had the most amazing time. The house offered everything that we could possibly need and then some. The property manager Rico was amazing anytime I needed to reach out to him which was just a few times. He was very quick to respond and definitely provided the utmost customer service. There were 10 of us in this home and it provided more than ample space. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a house right on the beach with an amazing pool and hot tub. I would definitely rent this home again. It was everything’s we expected and more. I would give it a 10 out of 10.

Luxury Vacation, Great Amenities

We went to Puerto Rico for my parents 50th anniversary including my 2 sons (5 years and 7 months). The house manager Rico, met us at the house to give us a tour and even helped with our bags. The house was beautiful and very clean with plenty of room for our group of 8. Tons of amenities were included, leaving us only having to provide food and drinks. The homeowner even supplied us with a high chair, pack-n-play, bibs, and baby supplies for our 7 month old. The pool was amazing and the beach was very private and relaxing. The house and attention to detail was definitely the highlight of our vacation. The homeowner and manager were very professional and always answered any questions promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Amazing stay

This house was incredible. So much space, very nice amenities. The house manager was extremely responsive as well, and offered (and did!) get us groceries before we even arrived at the house. The only thing we would change is for the jacuzzi to be heated! That would have just been perfect. But the area is beautiful, super safe (in a gated community) with several restaurant options. We rented a car and that was perfect as we explored the East side of the island and drove to San Juan, Pork Road, and Fajardo. Wonderful stay - thanks so much.

Beautiful Beach Front House

Our family (My wife and I, three adult children and their significant others and one infant grandchild) spent a week at the Driftwood Ocean Retreat. It was a wonderful stay in a perfect house. Everyone had their own space and there was room to still gather. The pool, the yard and the beach gave everyone something to do. The kitchen was well equipped with all the appliances and utensils you can think of. We grilled out a few nights and had everything we needed. Each room even has their own individual A/C controls. Be aware that the house is large and has 3 levels so there are stairs to navigate. The neighborhood is very nice. The property manager was very accommodating. We had a great time. I highly recommend Driftwood Ocean Retreat.
