"THE SKY HOUSE" is set on the edge of El Yunque Rain Forest yet only a 40 minute drive from SJU Airport and the City of San Juan. A 25 minute walk on a jungle path brings you to a secret swimming hole. The house Brags 180-degree UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS to the valley below, San Juan, & the Pacific Ocean. This spotless, furnished, pet friendly home has everything you need, including "High Speed Internet", a 50" TV and a large fully equipped kitchen. All cooled by split air conditioning units (one downstairs and 1 in each bedroom), a huge 400 square foot roof top patio plus a newly added deck out front with a large plunge pool with seating for 8!) all overlooking the 30 plus mile views & beyond. The last house on a dead-end street, "The Sky House" is part of a very small (a dozen houses?) gated community, offering one square acre of fenced lawn, total privacy & security, and a palpable sense of wellbeing, nature, & peace. Your neighbor on the north perimeter of the property is El Yunque Rain Forest with a sea of wildflowers and jungle foliage to enjoy from the roof top patio. Explore multiple rivers, hiking trails, waterfalls and swimming holes. A 40 minute drive on country roads brings you to world-class, ocean front golf course resorts with upscale hotels, bars & restaurants on the north shore.

Also an unforgettable ASPEN like bar / restaurant attached to the property "The Hitching Post", offers great food & cocktails overlooking the horse-riding circle. An eight-minute (bumpy) mountain drive south brings you to a quirky, super cool "Fablian?" Restaurant & Bar with old cars and airplanes sticking out of the ground, gorgeous views, and a live weekly band at Sunday Brunch. Walmart, Marshals, 2 shopping centers, banks, and a multi plex movie theater are just a 15-minute drive down the hill.
