ENERGY USAGE DURING POWER OUTAGES
We strive to provide our guests with a comfortable stay; however, please be aware that Puerto Rico’s electrical grid is prone to interruptions. To mitigate this, our property is equipped with a robust 27-panel solar array and two Tesla Powerwall batteries to maintain essential power during short outages (less than 1 hour).

Important: In the event of a grid outage, guests may need to significantly reduce energy consumption to ensure continued operation of critical systems. This includes limiting or avoiding the use of air conditioners, as these appliances can quickly deplete the stored energy in the batteries.

We reserve the right to remotely turn off air conditioners, pool heater and other non-essential, energy- intensive appliances until the grid power is restored. Please note this is a rare occurrence and typically power interruptions are short and handled by our backup system without interruption or notice to the guest- but it is a possibility so keep that in mind prior to booking.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Please note that our pool and yard maintenance team may visit the property during your stay for routine upkeep. To minimize any disruption to your enjoyment during the day, These visits are scheduled early in the morning. We work to ensure these services have minimal impact while keeping the property clean, safe, and enjoyable for all guests.

This house was incredible. So much space, very nice amenities. The house manager was extremely responsive as well, and offered (and did!) get us groceries before we even arrived at the house. The only thing we would change is for the jacuzzi to be heated! That would have just been perfect. But the area is beautiful, super safe (in a gated community) with several restaurant options. We rented a car and that was perfect as we explored the East side of the island and drove to San Juan, Pork Road, and Fajardo. Wonderful stay - thanks so much.

We went to Puerto Rico for my parents 50th anniversary including my 2 sons (5 years and 7 months). The house manager Rico, met us at the house to give us a tour and even helped with our bags. The house was beautiful and very clean with plenty of room for our group of 8. Tons of amenities were included, leaving us only having to provide food and drinks. The homeowner even supplied us with a high chair, pack-n-play, bibs, and baby supplies for our 7 month old. The pool was amazing and the beach was very private and relaxing. The house and attention to detail was definitely the highlight of our vacation. The homeowner and manager were very professional and always answered any questions promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Our family (My wife and I, three adult children and their significant others and one infant grandchild) spent a week at the Driftwood Ocean Retreat. It was a wonderful stay in a perfect house. Everyone had their own space and there was room to still gather. The pool, the yard and the beach gave everyone something to do. The kitchen was well equipped with all the appliances and utensils you can think of. We grilled out a few nights and had everything we needed. Each room even has their own individual A/C controls. Be aware that the house is large and has 3 levels so there are stairs to navigate. The neighborhood is very nice. The property manager was very accommodating. We had a great time. I highly recommend Driftwood Ocean Retreat.
