Carole’s Rain Forest Villa Entrance
Carole's Rain Forest Villa is a quiet retreat bordering the El Yunque semi-tropical rain forest. Stay in one of our romantic villas. There are several ways to rent it, the entire Villa ( 3 bedrooms) or the larger area ( two bedrooms with living area) or just the one bedroom. - Explore our tropical gardens, be lulled to sleep by the melodic serenade of the tiny coqui's, indigenous to Puerto Rico. Retreating up into the hills each afternoon, after a hot day at the beach, is a delightful way to experience Puerto Rico.
We are located on the boarder of the El Yunque Caribbean National Rain Forest - off Road 966. Just 4 miles from the highway, close to stores and beaches, yet nestled privately, near the rainforest. Approximately 1,000 ft above sea level. Surrounded by vegetation and exotic tropical flowers and an incredible view of the ocean and mountains . Evenings are peaceful. The only sounds are the Coqui (tree frogs) and crickets singing - oops - those night owls too.

Outdoor Kitchen and Hammock
Great location for Bird Watchers - so bring your binoculars.
Living Room in the two bedroom Villa
You won’t need much in the way of clothing - old casual wear is best, except when visiting the cities or hotels.
The temperature in the forest is at least 10 degrees cooler than at sea level, we have the trade wind breezes most of the time. Bring your hiking shoes. With the forest at your doorstep - you might want to venture out - either taking a stroll through our exotic tropical gardens or hiking up to our local waterfall.
Most of the trails for the National Forest are further up on Road 191. You can spend days hiking and exploring the forest. Visit the El Portal Tourist Center and see their 10 minute film about the forest. Visit their souvenir shop - great selection of books about our forest friends, ask for a trail map too.
Upper left is the one room. Above right is the master bedroom in the two bedroom villa.

We are not far from the Fajardo Bioluminescent Bay, we have great kayaking and snorkeling too. If you like the beach, Luquillo Beach is only 15 minutes away and one of the nicest on this side of the island. After the beach, you can stop at a waterfall near the house, rinse and cool off. Then come home to your hide away and relax.
.....So leave that city life behind. Come relax and enjoy how the other half lives. Vacation with us in our little enchanted world of the El Yunque Caribbean National Rain Forest. 45 minutes from the San Juan airport. You will need to rent a car to stay here.
