The Space:

Faro Penthouse is the perfect beach escape, situated in the heart of Maunabo, Puerto Rico, and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Punta Tuna Wetlands Nature Reserve. This spacious three-bedroom, two-bathrooms penthouse offers stunning ocean views, a private outdoor terrace, and a front-row seat to the Punta Tuna Lighthouse.



Faro Penthouse sleeps up to 6 guests in 1 queen bed, 1 full bed and 2 twin beds. It is fully air conditioned and includes 2 flat screen TVs, hi-speed wi-fi, washer/dryer, beach chairs, and parking for two vehicles.



The complex boasts a range of amenities to elevate your stay. Take a dip in the pool, perfect your serve on the tennis courts, shoot hoops on the basketball court, or explore the historic Punta Tuna Lighthouse just a short 10-minute walk away. Your private paradise is just an 8-10 minute stroll from the pristine Punta Tuna beach, ensuring endless days of sun, sea, and sand.



IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY CALLED “VILLAS DEL FARO”, WHICH DOES NOT LEGALLY REQUIRE ELEVATORS IN ANY BUILDINGS SINCE THEY HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 3 FLOORS. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION IF YOU OR A COMPANION HAS ANY DISABILITIES.





LIVING AREAS



Inside, you'll find a well-appointed living space. Faro Penthouse has an open concept layout that connects the living room, dining, kitchen, and an oceanfront balcony. The living room has a comfortable sofa and a flat screen TV. The dining area right next to the living room features a dining table for 6 guests with beautiful ocean views and access to the balcony.



Faro Penthouse has a private outdoor terrace that is accessed via the spiral staircase in the main level balcony. This penthouse terrace is the highlight of this rental. Lounge on the comfortable outdoor sofa, dine al fresco in the outdoor dining table, or simply unwind with the sound of the waves as your backdrop. It's the perfect spot for making memories with loved ones. The terrace also has two lounge chairs and a gas bbq. It is the perfect point to witness breathtaking sunrises and sunsets with the stunning views.

You will need it to move around to nearby restaurants, shops, and the many beaches in the vicinity. Also you will want to have a car to explore the rest of the island.



Ubers are not readily available in the area, which is why we recommend having your own means of transportation.





LOCATION



Our penthouse is situated in the heart of Maunabo, Puerto Rico, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Punta Tuna Wetlands Nature Reserve. Explore the historic Punta Tuna Lighthouse just a short 10-minute walk away, or venture further to discover the vibrant culture and cuisine of Puerto Rico.



Besides enjoying the beautiful villa and all amenities on offer, there are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:



Chill at the beach! It is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you are staying at Faro Penthouse. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and a cooler for a long day at the beach. The beach is just an 8-10 minute stroll.



Take a hike! This lush wetland reserve spans 1.4 miles of coastline, just north of the Faro Punta Tuna. Interpretive trails through the mangroves and along the beach impart interesting information about the ecology, flora and fauna, and a lookout tower makes it easier to spot wildlife, especially in the mornings.



Visit the historic Punta Tuna Lighthouse just a 10 minute walk away! The Punta Tuna Lighthouse was built in the 1890s by the Spanish government to serve the south-eastern coast of the Island. Sitting atop a small peninsula, the views from the lighthouse are some of the Island's best.



Go on a roadtrip to nearby beaches! Here you have the name of a few beaches we recommend nearby: El Cocal Beach, Balneario Playa Lucía, Playa Maunabo, Playa Bohio, Los Pinos Beach, Emajaguas Beach, and Playa Negra (great surfing beach).

Great VRBO for Puerto Rico vacation

This was my first international VRBO and you never know what you are going to get. I was pleasantly surprised. Check in was wonderful- had a little mishap with the code and Paola responded immediately and fixed it right away. House was quiet, clean and ACs worked well. It was very helpful to have a washer/dryer and full kitchen. There is a nice grocery store a few blocks away. The house provided some dishwasher and washing tablets, coffee, paper towels, shampoo/conditioner. All those provided items were very appreciated. Additionally, there was a cooler and two beach chairs provided. Basketball provided needs to be pumped up and one of the three chairs provided was broken. But, overall I was extremely pleased with this VRBO. Outdoor pool and basketball were used daily. Upstairs deck was quiet and beautiful. It's an hour drive to some of the more popular tourist attractions but my family did not mind the drive. I don't like crowds of tourists, and the beaches in this area are 100% worth it. We went to the black sand beach and kids loved jumping in the waves. Went to a beach in Manaubo and the sand was beautiful and we had the beaches all to ourselves. Highly recommend this place for your stay.

Family trip

We had an amazing time. The view is AMAZING!! Paola was very professional and attentive. The condo was comfortable, nicely decorated and clean. I very much appreciated the little details such as the coffee, laundry detergent pods, beach chairs, cooler, first aid kit, flashlight and fire extinguisher. The host thought of everything and that made the stay that much better. It shows that the host cares about making sure their guests are comfortable and getting the most out of their visit. The condo is on top of a mountain and you have to be careful getting up there because there are many potholes on the way. However, it is definitely worth the ride up. The view is like no other. My family and I ordered food from a local restaurant , Agua Viva, (the food was delicious) for Valentine's day and dined on the roof top of our condo with the gorgeous view in the background and the coquis serenading us. It was one of my favorite memories of this particular trip. I will absolutely stay here again. Thank you

Great getaway

We had a great time in Maunabo and this unit was as advertised. Convenient access to the Punta Tuna Reserve and beach. Utilize the gate by the pool to get there. The water is too rough to swim in, but we had plenty of fun playing in the sand and letting some waves crash on us at the shore. There are a bunch of cliff side restaurants in the area. The kitchen in the unit had enough equipment. We were able to cook breakfast most days and reheat some restaurant left overs. Amazing views of the sunrise from the rooftop terrace. Perfect way to start each day. Loved this part of the island. The beaches were nearly deserted and the condo complex was very quiet as well. Easy and responsive communication with the host. Check in is keyless. Check out was easy as well!Wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Great base in a beautiful location

We loved exploring Maunabo - the nearby nature reserve, beaches and lighthouse. This rental is a great base from which to do so. It is well equipped and clean, with a spectacular roof terrace with gorgeous views. It is ideal, except for those with mobility issues. There are 2 flights of stairs up to the main level and an additional flight up to the roof terrace. We really enjoyed our stay.

Has potential

This place has potential, but it fell short of what the pictures made it appear. One washcloth for 5 people. No hand soap in the bathrooms. Lights on the balcony, but no way to plug them in. Limited kitchen supplies. This place is located in a non-touristy area which had advantages, but also many disadvantages. The area is still recovering from hurricane damage. Getting to the beach and lighthouse was not as easy as they made it sound. With all that being said, it was a nice size and the outdoor space was a huge plus.

Beautiful views

Nice place to stay, beautiful views of sunset and rises and star gazing. No bugs! Close to a gorgeous beach but at the time we couldn't swim due to undertow and big waves. Beds were comfy. Easy check in and out. Gated community and nice pool area. Yummy restaurants near by!
