Había un bicho muerto en el suelo del salón. La experiencia en el check in y el trato de los responsables fue terrible, mi peor experiencia sin duda. No dieron instrucciones de llegada y apertura de puertas hasta 4h pasada la hora del check in, nos quedamos las 4 chicas solas en la isla a oscuras, sin internet y sin poder comunicarnos y no sabíamos la clave para abrir el locker para las llaves porque no nos lo habían mandado a tiempo. Cuando reclamamoa nos dijeron que ellos no habían hecho nada malo y no aceptaron darnos ningún tipo de compensación. HORRIBLE NO LO RECOMIENDO

El departamento era amplio y cómodo. La cocina bien equipada. Todo bien limpio. El aire acondicionado funcionaba muy bien, tanto en la sala como en el dormitorio. La vista hacia la bahía era hermosa. Las instrucciones de check-in fueron claras. Internet funcionaba perfecto. Tuvimos una estadía fantástica. 100% recomendable.

The hammock was my favorite

The advertisement is deceptive. I thought we were on the top floor but l was actually on the bottom floor

Clean and private.

Hard to find.

We booked this studio apartment for the views and they delivered! We enjoyed the outdoor seating area overlooking the harbor. You could also see the water from the bed. Nice sunshine and good lighting at night

Kitchen was basic, but sufficient for breakfasts. It would have been nice to have some cooking oil

The views and patio are spectacular! The king sized bed looking through the glass doors over the water was so nice! Having beach towels and a cooler to use was also very helpful. We loved the rocking chairs & hammock on the porch!

The beach chairs were a bit old & could use to be upgraded.

View,peace and a visiting cat.

All good

Clean

View is not like the picture, there is a u finished brown house as part of the ocean view. Staff not flexible checking in earlier even if the apartment was most likely ready. Communication in general a bit stiff and not guest but more renter focused.

The place was fully equipped. Everything you would need was in the apartment.

The was NO hot water in the shower.

Culebra is a small island, once golf cart is rented the transportation is a breeze. This property is not close to town center so transport booking is a must. The owners are very, very nice people. Anything we asked was taken care of rightaway and all questions were answered super fast. Wifi, heat, AC, stove, pans are all amazing and property is very clean.

The beds were not that comfortable overall. The shower pours water outside of the shower area, and since we took showers to rinse off sand etc from multiple beach trips, the bathroom got wet fast. Initially there was no bath mat, then 1 mat was given. That is insufficient due to the shower water falling out. Both issues were minor and did not impact our enjoyment of stay. outdoor shower is present but quite muddy and does not appear to be cleaned regularly.

It had everything you needed

The location was tough to find

The cleaners and how close everything is.

No lights walking down the steps.

Todo genial, recomiendo totalmente estos apartamentos

Nice place and comfortable!

Loved our stay here. Clean and lots of space for 2 people. Good location, close to Flamenco and Tamarindo beaches, the ferry terminal, grocery stores and restaurants. Heather is a great host.

Beautiful view, comfortable bed, everything was lovely! We really appreciated having beach chairs, towels, a cooler, and a beach bag too. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Nothing!

Very nice balcony and view from the bedroom. Minutes from anything.

The kitchen was very basic.

We had a wonderful time living the island life for a few days. Our hosts were responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Glad to have the cooler to use as well as beach chairs and towels. Was nice to be able to make coffee and cook eggs to start each day. Loved sitting out on the porch as the view was amazing!

The property is in a great location with a great view from the balconies. My family rented all 3 units for a nice family vacation and we weren’t disappointed. All of the units came with refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishes for cooking and eating so we were able to make a nice breakfast for everyone each morning. The home itself is in very good condition, also. The rooms were very clean and the owner respected our privacy. We would definitely rent from them again. Very happy.

We had an amazing stay. Alfonso and his wife are very responsive and helpful. The apartment is perfect. It has everything you could need and is a great location with a beautiful view.

Very comfortable, clean studio with nice terrace overlooking the island and water. Appreciated having the cooler and beach chairs to use. Location was perfect to get around the island.

Water from shower runs onto the floor so needed a towel to keep water contained. Adding a beach umbrella would be a nice touch.

Good water view, we enjoyed watching boat traffic in the bay. This was our first time visiting the island and it was a good location for the things we wanted to see and do. Clean and tidy space, had everything we needed. Appreciated having beach chairs to use. You'll get your door code just 15 minutes before checking, so if you're a planner - relax. Three stories - host lives on the top floor, very friendly. Middle unit is also a rental. We rented the bottom unit and had little noise from upstairs guests. Hosts have good tips for groceries. Area was good to get a morning or evening walk. Parking is street side and that worked fine for our Jeep rental. As others have mentioned – roosters, yes! But not much the hosts can do about it. We would recommend this property.

I had a wonderful stay at Island Charm Culebra Studios & Suites! The accommodations were spotless, offering a perfect blend of comfort and cleanliness. The breathtaking views from the property added a magical touch to my stay, and its proximity to the beach made it incredibly convenient for a relaxing getaway. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Culebra Island✨🤍

Location, view, air conditioner, cleanliness and everything needed was available.

A lovely apartment, very clean and spacious

A little difficult to find some of the appliances were'nt working

The staff was friendly and responsive. Kitchen was clean and functional as it provided everything we needed for our stay. The patio hammock is a really nice touch.

Our only and MAJOR disappointment regarding our stay was the lack of water views from our unit. The MAIN REASON why we chose this one in particular as opposed to others we were considering was because it is advertised as "Amazing Water views from all 3 apartments", which unfortunately is simply not true. You will get beautiful water views if you book the top two apartments, but we were handled the keys to the first floor apartment, from which you will only see lots of trees blocking any water views. The reason why I say it's a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT is because there were better equipped booking options in the area at a lower price, but they clearly stated you could not see the ocean from them. Again, we decided to pay extra for this booking solely because it is advertised as "AMAZING WATER VIEWS", sadly a false statement.

It was super clean, comfortable with good location. I really liked the place is well organized, that all rules are clear and that it has quiet hours from 10pm to 7am. It shows that the owner wants to exceed expectations by always kindly answering any requests.

Everything except the shower

No hot water in the shower.

Size of the unit

The family unit did not have a comfortable outdoor area. The other two units has much nicer outdoor areas

Nice private accommodation. Clean and comfortable. One big room which worked well for us. Kids slept on a pull out couch. Nice patio with a good view of the water and island

Nice and beautiful apartment! We all enjoyed our stay. Hope to come again.

Amazing view! A very nice suite

Lovely appartment. Clean and comfortable, the view is stunning ! Very close to everything ! The host was very responsive

We felt that as the owners lived above the apartment it wouldn’t have been much hassle for them to store our bags as most hotels offer this, but they were oddly negative about this even though it would have really helped us out with our ferry times. There’s no luggage storage on the island so you’re stuffed if you stay here and need to leave a bag etc. We felt it was just bad customer service even after we begged and explained our predicament. A little kindness goes a long way. There also wasn’t a kettle or salt/ pepper.

The space was very clean and well laid out. The air conditioning worked great. Expectations and requests from the property manager were clearly laid out and totally reasonable. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes. There were even beach chairs and a small cooler provided, which we took advantage of for beach trips. I would absolutely stay at this property again.

I have only two very minor nits. First, water from the shower could get the area around the toilet wet, simply because of how the curtain and shower floor are angled. Second, the directions to find the correct room were a little vague and it took several minutes to figure out once we arrived at the property. Once we found the correct room, though, it was smooth sailing.

Gorgeous view of the bay. Great location. The staff was very friendly. Clean room and hot water!

Everything was perfect!

location wasn't the best -

location

The location (beautiful view), the Cleanliness, bathroom, kitchen, the apartment at all in very good condition.

The air conditioner in the kitchen/dining area was not working, and the one in the room was dripping. In the kitchen could have at least salt & pepper, the large frying pan should be change. The sofa bed in the family room is broken and could not be open.

It was a nice and clean stay, with good views. Close to town, I would recommend getting a car or golf cart however because it would be a long walk. Definitely go to D’s garden for fresh fruits and smoothies, it’s right down the road.

Updated

Bed bug infestation. I am covered with hundreds of bites and miserable. Room was not ready and available at 3. Housekeeper did not make bed, just left top sheet for me to do it myself.

Beach chairs were broken

Beautiful spot! Clean and comfortable - the king size bed and massive TV - made for an easy evening. Nice kitchen, stocked with utensils to make cooking easy. The water in the bathroom ran deliciously hot. Nice lounging porch and lovely hosts.

I would recommend renting a jeep for this property and not a golf cart. The hill it is situated on is steep.

Everything Very like the king bed, super spacious, good view. It has its security cameras and but with your private space, terrace, I loved the dynamics between owners because of it, that fascinated me. It had everything I needed, beach, balcony, kitchen, bathroom, bedding. The best thing is that if you have any questions, they will answer them right away.

Just out of confusion because I wanted the same floor as the children, I had to go downstairs. Check in, you have to be flexible if they don't have anyone the day before and when the boat arrives, you have to carry luggage or they'll give you a break from carrying them, put them in a special space outside to luggage like when you enter the house with a key and they don't answer the cell phone until check-in time 😉🤣

It was clean, the view was amazing, the balcony was welcoming, the location was pretty central, quiet and safe. It's a small island and this place was a great accommodation considering.

The floor always felt damp, the shower leaked a lot of water into the rest of the bathroom which made the floor very slippery. The air conditioner was a bit noisy, even on the lowest setting. Some privacy, something separating the back studio from the one in the front would be great.

Superb bay view. Well equipped, clean rooms, everything in order

You should prepare for roosters screaming their lungs out starting from 3 am - however, that is not a unique feature of the property, it happens all ovet Culebra

Very comfortable space. Nice location.

Excelente location and facility I love it

Everything was perfect. I found beach chairs, umbrella and a cooler. We went to Flamingo, Zoni, Playa Larga, Tamarindo and Punta Soldado beaches.

NA

Excellent location, clean and accomodating

Great view, decent facilities, nice to have beach chairs and hammock on the balcony

no blackout curtain. roosters too loud in the neighborhood

the space was well equipped and clean with a beautiful view of the water.

The only negative was that it was extremely difficult to get in touch with the owner if I needed help or had a question. Luckily there were no emergencies.

Everything! Location was perfect the views were amazing! Cooler and beqch chairs were provided! We wanted to stay 1 more day and they were very accomidating! Easy communication and very clean! 0 complaints!

Nothing

nice view, comfortable apartment, very helpful staff

can’t honestly think of anything

Itú was ok

location

Island Charm is a relatively new guest house with apartments that have a generous living space and kitchen complete with coffee maker, refrigerator, stove top, and enough plates, cups, etc. to go around. It is located in the town of Flamenco, but is a short golf cart/jeep ride to any of the beaches on Culebra as well as the town of Culebra itself. There is a delightful store/juice shop, D's Garden, within easy walking distance to Island Charm.

A couple of cats came round, but they were easily shoed away. The island has an abundance of roosters that crow in the morning. You couldn't escape their noise no matter where you stayed! You get used to it, and it simply adds to the charm of the location.

Great location, beautiful view, very spacious.

The location.

That you have to up keep property prior to leaving. Also poor service through out our stay. I mentioned the bathroom lights were out to property manager. Which was told upon arrival. The issue was never fixed at all. I also never received any additional clean towels.

great location, very clean, AC worked very well and excellent water pressure.

limited parking but that is throughout the island.

For my wife and me it was the second trip to the beautiful Island of Culebra. At this time we stayed in Island Charm appartments, hosted by Heather and Alfonso. First of all - location, location, location! The three storage blue with white trims house is built on the hill facing the largest on the island Ensenada Honda inlet. The vew from our Seahorse one bedroom unit was just jaw-dropping. Particularly when you watching sunsets. Located in the middle part of the island in one of the most respectful and quiet neighborhood, the house is only few minutes away from airport, car rental, grocery stores, restaurants. Because of the central location it's about equally remote from all popular beaches. The most famous Flamenco Beach is only 10 minutes away by car or a golf cart, which is the number one choice of getting around among the guests of Culebra. Playa Tamarindo, known for the snorkeling with turtles and stingrays is even closer. The appartment itself was beautifully decorated with accent in seahorse themes. Everything inside was meticulously spotless. We were impressed by the 5-star hotel style bodywash, shampoo and conditioner dispensers, filled with high quality toiletries in the shower room. Our hosts has one of the best " Customer Service Department " we met. They responded fast and efficiently to the few requests were made. The unit is equipped with its own wireless internet router. So the signal was always strong and steady what allowed us easily to browse the web, to communicate and even to do some work remotely. We liked the modern kitchen equipment and the dishware provided. All together we had a perfect accommodation and we are hopping for the opportunity to stay in the Island Charm the next year again. Surely we strongly recommend it to anybody! P.S. The only suggestion we can make is to add a small dish drying rack for the kitchen countertop.

The view was wonderful

There was to many cats in the area

Heather and Alfonso were very helpful and accommodating. They helped us with the directions that finally brought us in the right location.

Just what we needed to meet our needs
