Finding the right vacation rental can be difficult.
Most people who vacation in Puerto Rico stay in hotels, but there are many homes that you can rent for a more exclusive experience.
After spending many summers showing people around the island and recommending places to stay, I am happy to guide you in the right direction for your trip.
In this article, I will review 39 vacation rentals in Puerto Rico.
We rechecked every rental on this list on October 27, 2026. Each one links to its live Airbnb or Vrbo listing, and we removed 11 homes that are no longer listed. Ratings are as shown that day; confirm prices, availability and house rules on the listing before you book.
1. Villa del Campo
What a dream retreat!
Rated 4.95 stars by 846 guests on Airbnb when we checked on October 27, 2026, this villa comes with a pool just a step outside of the door, a swing over the side of the mountain, waterfalls into the pool from the house, provided breakfast, and more!
The villa is located on the western side of the island, where there are few taxis and no Ubers.
It is best to get a rental car so that you can explore! The Aguadilla airport is just over an hour drive away.
Playa “Tres Tubos” Beach is about a 30-minute drive. There is also a Sam’s Club and the Mayagüez Mall within a 30-minute drive.
Plus, the Balneario Tres Hermanos which is a popular beach, and Rincón, which is the surfing center of Puerto Rico, are located very close by.

2. Spectacular Private Cabin with Pool
Ugh, this one is just so gorgeous.
A wonderful and quaint cabin that just gives you all of the cozy feels. The decor is thoughtful and modern.
There is even a private pool for you to enjoy during your stay.
Uber and taxis are almost non-existent in this area, so it’s recommended that you rent a car.
Especially because there is so much to explore around this area, like waterfalls and hiking!
Guajataca Forest Reserve and Lake is an 18-minute drive away, which has a beautiful waterfall that you can swim in.
There is also Isabela or Aguadilla (where the airport is located) which are about an hour away. You can find plenty of beaches in those municipalities and plenty of restaurants too!

3. Rancho del Gigante
This eco-lodge is a great getaway option for a couple.
Beautiful mountain views in the countryside, private pool access, an elevated deck with a fire pit, along with everything you need to cook and enjoy a nice meal before settling down in a comfy bed.
The best part is you’re surrounded by panoramic views!
North of Ponce, this lodge is fairly remote.
You may be able to take a taxi or Uber from the airports in Ponce or San Juan, but it’s recommended that you rent a car to visit the surrounding areas, like the supermarket and restaurants nearby.
The San Juan airport is one hour and thirty minutes away and the Aguadilla airport is two hours away by car.

4. La Terapia
Stunning, surrounded by mountain views in the center of the island, this listing includes a very unique “glamping” experience.
Fall asleep looking at the mountains, relax in a sky bed after a swim in the infinity pool, or enjoy cooking your partner a meal in the fully equipped kitchen!
This cabin is located centrally and remotely, so transportation is a bit difficult.
A taxi or Uber may be available to drive you from the airport, but to travel to attractions in the area it is best to get a rental car. The listing does offer food delivery during the week, so it is also an option to stay at the cabin for your whole vacation.
Taxis are very expensive and you might be able to get an Uber there but no Uber back to the airport. Rental cars are available just outside the airport for your convenience.
It is a 2-hour drive from the Aguadilla airport and a 1 hour and 30-minute drive from the San Juan airport.
There are not many beaches near this location or on the southern shore. The closest beach is Playa Tamarindo which is a 1-hour drive away.

5. Lunabelapr
What a perfect couple’s retreat!
There is everything you need to relax and enjoy your vacation, and more.
Watch your favorite movie while you swim in a beautiful private pool, enjoy the afternoon on the sundeck playing pool, and fall asleep dreaming of the beach in a luxurious king-size bed. It doesn’t get better than this!
This vacation rental is located in Isabela, on the northwestern shore.
There are no taxis, and if you do happen to get a hold of one, they are expensive. Not to mention they are hard to find online and elsewhere.
Uber is not available either, so I recommend renting a car, as this is the easiest way to see the nearby attractions of Isabela.
Jobos Beach is within a 30-minute drive, as well as Middles Beach, Playa Montones, and so many other hidden beach paths that take you to some pretty amazing private beach spots.
There is also lots of hiking in this area, as well as a three-mile bike path called Paseo Lineal where you can rent bikes and electric bikes/scooters.
There is also plenty to do in the town of Isabela like a beautiful plaza to spend the day in, small local food stands, ice cream and Pale Fruita, and a grocery store.
The Aguadilla airport is about 40 minutes away.

6. The Nest at Crash Boat

This is a beautiful home in an even more beautiful location at Crash Boat Beach.
Walk right from your bed to the beach!
After a swim, you can rinse off with a private outdoor shower and take a nap in the shade with the hammock on the deck.
This Airbnb is very close to the airport, only a 15-minute drive away, and is easily accessible by car or taxi.
Taxis are less reliable in this area and can be pretty expensive, so you might consider renting a car.
There are plenty of things to do within walking distance as well, like restaurants and historical sights.
If you rented a car, you could easily get to neighboring places like Rincón to watch the surfers or Jobos beach.

7. iL Sognatore
This place is just too cute! It’s a good price and sleeps up to eight people.
It’s full of vibrant colors that reflect the tropical vibes of Puerto Rico. It’s also got a beautiful garden of native Puerto Rican plants.
The host offers surfing, snorkeling, and spearfishing lessons!
Overall, this is such a cute quirky place, you have to check it out.
This stay is easy to get to from the Aguadilla airport, only about a 15-minute drive away.
A taxi will be able to take you there, but if you want to visit other parts of the area, you will need to rent a car.
There are plenty of beaches within, at most, a 20-minute drive like Shacks Beach, The Lone Palm, Punta Borinquen, Jobos Beach, Crash Boat, Survival Beach, and Surfers Beach.
There is also a golf course nearby, as well as Ramey’s Skate and Splash Park which are big hits.

8. Change Your Latitude
Wake up and drink your morning coffee next to the ocean!
This two-bedroom rental has a direct view of the water from the front porch. It’s the perfect size for a small family getaway.
There is a cute kitchen window that slides open so that you can serve lunches to sandy kids outside. The decor is very modern and boho, creating that ‘tropical beach’ feel.
This is a fairly easy place to get to.
You can take an Uber and taxi to and from your stay to the San Juan Airport. Car rentals are also available just outside of the airport.
Ubers can be expensive, so renting a car might be the cheapest option for your stay.
Luquillo is about a 47-minute drive from the SJU and close to many attractions, like two of the area’s best-known beaches.
One of the beaches is located in Luquillo and is a national park and the other is in Fajardo, just a 15-minute drive away.
There is also a Walmart and common fast-food places in the city center of Luquillo.

9. Mediterranean Style Ocean View Villa
This rental is equipped with everything you need for your stay.
Feel luxurious in this Mediterranean-style villa with a gated entrance, infinity pool access, a gazebo, common areas to spend time in, and an amazing view from your private balcony.
There is also a full kitchen (full-size refrigerator and stove/oven) and a cozy family area to curl up and watch TV in.
This rental is close to the airport in Aguadilla, so it will be easier to take a taxi if you choose to do so.
If you are looking to visit other parts of the island during your stay you should look into renting a car. There is plenty around the area, like restaurants, within walking distance as well.
Aguadilla is also very large and covers a good portion of the northwestern part of the island, so there are really many things to do in Aguadilla alone.
Below is a Google Map showing the location of Aguadilla:
Renting a car would allow you to visit neighboring beaches and towns like Isabela, Jobos Beach, Rincón, Aguada, and more.
The closest places nearby are Isabela and Rincón, Isabela being a 30-minute car ride north away from Aguadilla center and Rincón being a 30-minute drive south.
Car rental is my best suggestion, as taxi fares on the west side of the island can be pretty steep.

10. One of Rincon’s Finest Beachfront Villas
Get away from the busyness of everyday life with this private villa!
This rental sleeps seven people, so it’s perfect to bring your friends and family along. Not to mention, the spectacular views from the balcony!
Also, I should add that furry friends are welcome, so the whole family can really enjoy this place.
If you are arriving at the Aguadilla airport, there are a few taxis available.
My suggestion would be to rent a car though, as public transportation on the west coast of the island isn’t really available most of the time and it’s expensive.
There is plenty within walking distance to this stay, like restaurants, beaches, and lots of surfing to watch! If you want to adventure elsewhere, I suggest getting a car.
Some places close by worth visiting are Jobos Beach in Isabela about 1 hour and 20 minutes drive away, and Aguadilla about a 40 minutes drive north from this stay.

This stay is available for events or just large families.
It takes 48 minutes to get from the BQN to Rincón.
There are very few public transportation options on the west side of the island. There are no Ubers and few taxi options in Rincón.
The best option would be to rent a car at the airport, and you should have no issues getting to this stay, as it is not remote.
There are also plenty of restaurants, shopping, and other things to do within walking distance.
Some places that are worth traveling to around this area are Aguadilla Center, which is about a 36-minute ride away, and Mayagüez, which is also 36 minutes away.

15. Panoramic Ocean View Villa
If you’re looking for a remote experience that’s not too out of the way, this is the perfect spot for you.
This Villa is equipped to handle lots of people so invite your friends!
It has sweeping views over the Vieques National Wildlife Refuge, and you can see neighboring islands Culebra and St. Thomas.
Vieques is a separate island, so you will need to plan to take another flight to Vieques or take the ferry from Ceiba, which Puerto Rico Ferry lists as a 1-hour ride.
This stay is not too far of a ride from the ferry stop, only a few minutes, and shouldn’t be too difficult to get to.
You will have to rent a car on the island, of which there are plenty of rentals very close to the ferry stop. Vieques is very small, so it’s easy and quick to get around!

You don’t want to miss this!
Experience a different side of Puerto Rico on the small, remote island Culebra.
This Airbnb has some pretty awesome amenities like an infinity pool with a miniature waterfall, outdoor seating, and don’t get me started on the stone shower.
This home creates the perfect relaxing atmosphere after exploring all day.
Since this is a separate island off of Puerto Rico you will have to take a flight there or take the ferry from Ceiba, which Puerto Rico Ferry lists as a 1-hour-and-30-minute ride.
The drive from the airport in San Juan to Ceiba is about 48 minutes. When you arrive in Culebra, you will want to rent a car so that you can visit the island at your own pace.
There is a Jeep rental on the island, which would be perfect to travel around in.
The island is very small, you could probably travel around it in one day if you wanted!

This stay is technically a B&B and what they offer you is amazing for the price! They bring you breakfast to your door, there is a lounge, a marquee, a jacuzzi, and a spectacular view!
This is a great location if you’re looking to stay just a little bit out of the city. It’s just on the outskirts of San Juan, so if you wanted, you could drive or take an Uber into the city or even into Old San Juan.
It is a 36-minute drive to the airport and a 30-minute drive to places like Condado and Santurce.
Condado has a beautiful beach worth checking out and Carolina also has a beach just behind the airport.

37. Waves & Sand
You will love this location!
Its got perfect views of the mesmerizing sunsets and endless sights of the sand. It’s the best mix of comfortability and luxury, making sure all types enjoy their stay.
You will be able to walk to the restaurants around this small town and easily walk to the beach. It’s just below Aguadilla, and just above Rincon, so if you want to adventure to more of the island I recommend renting a car.
Playa Espinar is the closest beach within walking distance. The airport is a 30-minute drive away.
There are no Ubers available in the area and taxis are limited. There is a supermarket within walking distance to the stay as well.

38. Blue Door Exotic Cabin
What a view! This cabin in the southern mountains has everything a couple would need for a romantic vacation.
Surrounded by mountains, overlooking the ocean, sit in the jacuzzi and relax.
An outdoor bed to enjoy the view with your other half, a fully equipped kitchen— espresso machine included!— and a luxurious bedside bathtub, how romantic!
Located on the southern shore, this cabin is fairly remote. Accessible by taxi or Uber from the airports, you will probably still need a rental car to visit nearby restaurants, stores, and coastal attractions.
This stay is just a little bit over an hour drive away from the SJU airport.
The Pozuelo Exclusive Beach is within a 20-minute ride. There is also a Walmart near this location.

39. Villa Renata
Beachfront access, and an ocean view from the pool? Wow!
Spend your day with friends at the beach, and come home to an outdoor shower, barbecue by the pool, and premium cable.
With a 4.93-star average from 428 Airbnb reviews when we checked on October 27, 2026, it’s no wonder guests like this place!
The beach house is located on the northern coast, near attractions in Arecibo and Isabela.
Taxis and Uber are available, though difficult to locate and book. Plus they can be very expensive.
From the airports in Aguadilla and San Juan, it’s recommended that you rent a car for your stay so that you can visit the fun places nearby.
Playa Peñon Brusi is a 5-minute car ride away or about a 20-minute walk. From the San Juan airport, it is one hour and forty minutes. From the Aguadilla airport, it is 52 minutes away.
