Wonderful rooms and close to the ocean. View from shared space is wonderful. Saturday night is loud due to street parties but that is also part of the charm. They provide wonderful coffee and ear plugs. We would stay here again!

The property owner was easy to reach. There’s plenty of bars and restaurants in the area, but getting to the beach is a bit inconvenient. The upstairs patio was very nice, the beds were comfortable and rooms were well supplied.

Cute property with a nice rooftop deck and a great walk in shower. Loved the beach chairs and umbrellas that were at our disposal. Very short walk to the beach and a great bar and grill and coffee shop right across the street!

I stayed in Puerto Rico by myself and this property was absolutely convenient and close by took everything I needed for my very short stay I recommend the surfing turtle to anyone who wants to feel like a local! The police station is right around the corner not that you need it. Food was accessible right across the street with a great breakfast and dinner. I highly recommend the surf surfing turtle!

The room and patio were great! 5 minute walk to the beach. There is no front desk, but the service through text messaging was great, with good directions to get to the hotel, where to park, and how to access your room. The only down side was the noise from outside, with loud music from the bar on the corner, and jerks drag racing down the street into the wee hours of the morning, music blaring. Also a couple of yappy dogs nearby bark all night long. But aside from the noise, it was a lovely stay!

Not really a hotel, but more like an Air BNB with self check in and no reception area. Nice clean and modern room with everything we needed, including coffee and waters complimentary. We stayed here for 3 nights to visit El Yunque and surrounding beaches. The top floors 6 and 7 have the nice view of the ocean, and the roof deck outside. Great location for these day trips. This area of Luquillo also has some good restaurants and a nice cafe across the street for breakfast. Easy street parking.

The owner was very easily contacted with any questions or concerns. We did find it a bit loud outside on Sunday night but all was quiet by 11:30pm. Nothing a pair of ear plugs won’t fix. Pull out couch was very comfortable and spacious for our 13 year old and the bed was comfortable as well

It was not beachfront. The king bed is really 2 twins pushed together and one of them was noisy. You can’t control the water temperature in the shower. The kitchen area could use more lighting.

Quaint Inn nestled within a friendly neighborhood. You can see the beach, which is within walking distance of the Inn, from the balcony. Cute coffee shop right across the street. Easy self check-in and out. Room was spacious and modern. The bed is listed as a king but is two twins pushed together with a mattress connector. The mattresses are comfortable but the dip that's created if the mattress connector isn't secured correctly is very uncomfortable. Overall I really like the Inn and would booked with them again.

The beds are excellent and super comfortable. AC is really good. You'll have to find parking on your own though. Otherwise, I would definitely come back again on my future trips to Puerto Rico
