Casa Menta in Rincon, Puerto Rico

Casa Menta had everything we needed for me, my husband, and our 1 year old.

The air conditioning was great. The property was clean and comfortable, it reminds me of my Aubuela’s house. It was easy to find and an excellent quiet location. The fenced and gated front was perfect for my dog. The neighbor was very nice and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely wonderful stay. Great home. Great communication. No issues.

The house itself is nice - 2 BR/2Bath. Good, quiet location. However, a few dollars well spent would make it all the nicer. There were a few amenities missing: a toaster for your English Muffin in the morning, and a blender for your Pina colada in the evening. The master bathroom showerhead needs replacing as it does not diffuse the water, just emits a steady stream. Also it is too high to adjust. The shower could also use a soap dish and while you are at it, a grab bar or two would be a nice asset. We had no idea how to turn on the TV in the bedroom - and no instructions either. Finally we spoke with her and she explained,. She told us the "house manual" was on line on the VRBO website, but neither my friend nor I could find it. The TV in the living room did not work at all, Jennifer advised she has a cleaning person, which is all well and good, but she really needs someone to act as a "Manager" between visits, as someone should be sure everything is working properly for the next guest. There were plenty of bed and bath linens, and a washing machine, too. So that was nice. We bought a few things for the house, a step stool so we could reach high places, some matches for the candles she had around, and toilet paper which was in short supply in the house. I realize that Casa Menta is not a 5 star luxury hotel, but for under $500 it could be much more user friendly. I would not plan to return.
