Location
The address is kilometre 5.4 on PR-681 in the coastal barrio of Islote. The property puts Caza y Pesca Beach about 2.2 km away, and this rugged stretch of shoreline is also home to the Cueva del Indio, a sea cave known for its Taíno rock carvings.
Inland, the karst hills hold the site of the Arecibo Observatory, about 25 km away by the property's figures. Its giant radio telescope collapsed in 2020, but the site has continued as a science and education centre, so check what's open before you go. Rafael Hernández Airport in Aguadilla is about 57 km away.
