The Rising Sun! - Private Island Getaway

A friend I stayed at The Rising Sun, Isleta Marina one night. Our host, Jazmin, was easy to communiate with. The interior of the condo was clean, cute and well- maintained. There were ample supplies as described on the VRBO site. We were delayed in arriving so, unfortunately we didnt have much time there. S.ome areas on the property (pool area, some hallways) needed work. We knew there was a restaurant on the island and were planning on that for dinner. We didnt bring goceries for one night. We knew there was a restaurant but we didnt know it was closed due to contrrucon. Chips from the vending machine for dinner. Beautiful sunset.

Due to the non-regular ferry schedule (or lack thereof), it is virtually impossible to schedule events off the island without leaving at least an hour to get to land. The small ferry being run for our first 3 days had a max passenger limit of 6, so it was quite common to have to sit and wait for the ferry to run and come back before your turn. It would also take unscheduled breaks that added unexpected delays. Once we became aware that this was how things ran, we actually relaxed and just let life happen and by our 3rd day, we were as laid back as the locals... The space is perfect and the property is beautiful from a distance; there is much hurricane damage still and ongoing repair work daily. Quite noisy, but not too early. All in all a great getaway in Fajardo!!

Apartment was comfortable and had great views. I would suggest an upgrade to the bedding sheets. Keep in mind that the only way of getting to the apt is via ferry boat. Which stops working at 10:30pm and starts again around 6:30am. So you will have to do your schedule around such.

We enjoyed our stay at the property. The views from the unit were breathtaking. The islet is a short drive to Seven Seas and Luquillo beaches which were wonderful.

Absolutely peaceful and wonderful!!! Great communication. Unfortunately the cafe was not open during our stay but that posed no problem with us. I suggest plan ahead and be stocked on beer or what not. The regular ferry that carries many people was down for repair/inspection, but they utilized a barge. This is not common. The only bad thing to that was they could only transport 5-6 at a time. Our stay was 100 percent awesome !!!
