About this property
Villa Camelia
Relaxing & very comfortable two story house two minutes away beautiful beaches. It is a hidden gem, slightly recessed from the main road and nested among the local flavor of the area.
The second floor is the primary living space where there are three bedrooms that can accommodate six people, one bathroom, a fully-equipped kitchen and a living room. There is air-conditioning throughout the house. Also, there is a balcony where you can sit with your favorite beverage to enjoy a lovely panoramic view of palm trees, beach, the lighthouse and even some local action and music.
The first floor is an open-air terrace full of relaxing hammocks, a second fully-equipped bathroom, and a laundry room. There is also an outdoor shower where you can rinse off after a fun day at the beach.
With a privacy fence and gates surrounding the property, there is room for multiple parking spaces and a large open backyard perfect for family gatherings such as parties or reunions. This open area accommodates a fire pit, swing, and many games for the whole family to enjoy.
A beautiful beach awaits you with only a short walk from the house. This beach lies within a reef protected bay resulting in gentle waves for relaxed floating and swimming. You can also take long walks along the shoreline to explore nature's beautiful surroundings. And, in the area there are plenty of walking distance restaurants, as well as some rental companies for fun beach activities such as kayaking, catamaran, fishing, and bio bay trips.

Whole group loved the place! It had so many amenities including snorkeling gear, a little outdoor propane fireplace, and a 3min walk to a gorgeous beach for snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, walking, etc. 30min to El Yunque and lots of eating options close by. The gnats were out so definitely bring lightweight clothes to cover up. Would absolutely stay again.
This Rental is Amazing in an Amazing Location. Closed to Beautiful Beaches, Restaurants and Fun Activities. Seven Seas Beach and Playa Escondida within walking Distance. The House and Yard are Amazing but also mention the Host’s attention to details made the Stay even better. We loved our Stay!!! Bring your Family, you guys will love it too!!!
Nice house. Not directly on the beach and the surrounding area isn’t the most pleasant I could only hear a generator running constantly instead of the ocean… but a clean, nice house.

Loved this house! Everything we needed was there. The owners were responsive with questions and even sent us names of places to. Easy check in. Close enough to walk to the beach and several restaurants. There were fruit trees in the yard! Fajardo is a great town to visit!
Great stay at Villa Camelia. The location was great; It's a 2 minute walk to the great beach for swimming and snorkeling, several good spots to eat within a couple minutes drive and two good grocery stores within 5-10 minute drive.
The property itself was safe, secure, clean. AC was cold, everything worked as described.
We had an awesome stay and great interactions with the host.
Villa Camelia is the perfect place for a family vacation. It has a beautiful beach just a few steps from the house. It also has everything you need to cook and have a good time. Near the house you have restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets, etc. so don’t think it twice to make your reservation!
Also, Tere is an amazing host! We’ll be back!
We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Camelia. The beach was walking distance, and there are some fantastic trails on the nature reserve. The house was very clean, and there were all the amenities you needed for the beach: chairs, coolers, snorkeling masks, and kayaks. Also, it’s a great location. We were able to go to the grocery store and pick up things we needed, but there is a restaurant that is walking distance, too. We did day trips to El Yunque and San Juan while staying for the week (we rented a car). I definitely would plan to stay at Villa Camelia next time I plan a trip to Puerto Rico in the Fajardo area.
We had a lovely stay at this location. The house was very clean and well equipped with all the essentials. A beautiful beach is a very short walk away as well as several good restaurants. Only downside was that there are chickens running wild and the roosters woke us up every morning around 6:30. The neighboring trailers can be loud on the weekends so overall we suggest bringing earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise it was nice to explore a more off the beaten path side of the island and it was and easy launch point for boat trips to the nearby islands and bioluminescent bay.
Excellent location if you love beautiful beaches, adventures, hiking and birding! The Faro trail and wetlands trail in San Juan Cabezas was great for birding. There are also trails to amazing beaches and a a great restaurant right in front of the property. The spacious house had a great beachy theme with lots of places to sit inside, downstairs and in the yard. Very compfy and had everything you'd need including beach stuff, which we didn't utilize. They even brought over a blender when we couldn't find one. Super place!
house and grounds are very pretty and inviting, with all the amenities we could have asked for (including kayaks, hammocks, lawnchairs, and a huge tub of snorkel gear and beach toys), several beautiful beaches within a few blocks' walk, and some truly excellent restaurants just down the street (both Kalizo and La Estacion were wonderful). hosts communicated promptly and were able to resolve an unexpected and minor mechanical issue with minimal inconvenience. overall a great place to stay. highly recommend.
The first thing that caught my attention was how immaculately clean everything was. (Including the outdoor garbage bins. You could have eaten out of them - seriously!) We appreciated having such a clean, comfortable space literally across the street from the beach. We also felt very safe due to the large automatic locking gate. The yard was incredible. The patio amazing. The beds and pillows were very comfortable too. The home smells so nice and fresh. Communication was a breeze and the owners were so sweet to allow us to arrive early with very short notice. The roosters were a bit of a bummer, but by the third morning we got more used to them and were sleeping better. If I ever return to PR, I will definitely stay here again.
The two-story house is extremely comfortable, clean and well-equipped. You will find everything you could want, from pots and pans to beach towels to beach chairs. The air-conditioning works well. The owner/managers respond immediately to every request,
We will note several features that may concern some guests. The view from the house is mobile homes , parking lots and not-particularly attractive cement block buildings although you can also see the ocean. The renowned Seven Seas beach is a 5-10 minute walk or short drive away. The hot water in the house was lukewarm — adequate for showers but not ideal for washing greasy pots and pans. Finally, guests who stayed more than a week had no cleaning or changed towels mid-stay.
This house was the perfect place for our family. We utilized the outdoor space for most of our visit, it was nice to spread out and relax. The owners were quick to respond to any issues we had (water pressure dropped due to maintenance, and fortunately there was a backup water tank). The roosters were lovely to hear in the mornings. I would say the only real drawback was that this is a weekenders area, and the surrounding community of trailers enjoyed partying. Sometimes it was loud, but it never went too late and was never intolerable. Maybe it’s not every weekend, we were there Easter weekend. The location was killer, walking distance to so many different places to enjoy - the locals beach across the street, Seven Seas, Playa Colora, Escondido, downtown Las Croabas. The amenities were simple but we had all we needed, other than salt and pepper and a good knife. We would love to stay here again in the future.
My family and I had a wonderful time at Villa Camelia, the property and location exceeded our expectations. The house itself is very roomy yet cozy with a lot of personal touches to make you feel welcome. From the grand yard, garden, and lower deck full of amenities (hammocks, bbq grill, private bathroom) to the second floor interior with a fully equipped kitchen, living area and bedrooms all with individually zoned A/C, it is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your vacation. Other than a run to the local supermarket for basic food staples, there really isn't anything else needed to fully immerse in all the calmness and excitement that Puerto Rico has to offer. The host is really personable and made sure that our stay was worry free by providing clear information and suggestions about local restaurants, markets, travel destinations, etc, all including GPS coordinates and driving directions when needed. But all that aside, the most wonderful aspect of the property is that it is literally a very short 2.5 minute WALK away from one of the most beautiful (and secluded) beaches we have visited in Puerto Rico. The host made sure to make available anything and everything you'd ever need to enjoy your time at the beach. We could not ask for a more wonderful place to call home away from home. Thank you!
We started our stay during the New Years Eve blackout but we were able to make the best of the situation by spending time in the beautiful outdoors and at the nearby beaches. Power was restored after a day, but the plant that supplied the water was not restored. Communication was amazing with the owners as they arranged to have water brought in to the cistern so we were able to have running water. They were very responsive the entire vacation. Thank you!When we first arrived we were skeptical of the area as there were many trailer homes, but we were in awe of the accommodations of this property inside and out, that we didn’t notice as much. We felt completely safe in this area. We started to fall in love with the island living, even the roosters in the morning! We loved lounging in the hammocks and were so grateful for all the beach chairs, wagon and cooler that was made available to us during our stay.The beach was literally steps from the property and if you drove a little further down there was parking at Seven Seas beach and a path to follow for some of the most beautiful beaches!The location was perfect for visiting El Yunque and the Loquillo kiosks and an hour from Old San Juan (a must see!). The owner was wonderful and made several great recommendations of places to visit.I would highly recommend this place to stay for your next visit to Puerto Rico!
Lovely stay. We enjoyed the very short walk to the beach, several restaurants within walking distance, and hiking at the nature reserve and to beaches. We put the kayaks and lifejackets in our minivan rental and went to the bioluminescent Laguna grande. Washer and dryer was great to have though would caution to only fill washer half full.
Great location for anyone wanting to be near the beach and spend the days on fajarda.The property was clean , comfortable and the owner was responsive to any question
Loved the location - easy access to the beach so we didn’t have the headache of finding parking. The whole property was the perfect set up for our family vacation.
Beautiful home with a short 2-3 minute walk to the beach. Spent so much time by the hammocks enjoying the breeze. Neighbor’s was extremely friendly and enjoyed everything about our experience at the location.
The house is ideally located near the beach which can be reached with a 2 minute walk. Minutes away from bioluminescense tours. Spacious house with lots of extras.
Fenced in property that has all the amenities including beach gear and a cart for easy transportation. The host is gracious and responsive. We have nothing bad to say had a great time and would love to visit again.
Property was a little difficult to find but helpful hosts guided us. Large grassy area and easy parking. Kitchen had essentials/staples for cooking as a nice surprise. Easy access to beach. Roomy interior and space for relaxing outside
We had a great time in this house! It was clean, well stocked and adorable. It was plenty of room for our family of five. We were a little concerned when pulling into the neighborhood of campers and trailers, but the house was beautiful and secure! We spent time at the beach in Fajardo but also went to Luquillo Beach which was larger and gorgeous as well. We visited the local restaurants and had great experiences! We can’t wait visit again!
