GPS Location : 

 GPS systems are not that usefull in Puerto Rico due to the lack of standard addresses.  However with a little creativity you can use your GPS to get to specific locations.  If your GPS has a “Coordinates” option usually under “Destination”, select the format for the input to “h ddd.ddddd degrees” then input (N) 18.360745, (W) 67.263609.  For Garmins, the second set of numbers (W) you might need to put in a “1” before the 67.263609 (You dont necessarily need the last two numbers so if no room to input them there is no issue).  This should take you right to the front door of The Surf Break.  We have many other GPS coordinates to the local breaks bars and restaurants that are part of our welcome package.

With a Phone using Google Navigation(have not tested the new Iphone app) go to the part where you have in input the address and put in,  18.360745,-67.263609 then enter/search. Just keep in mind that this application requires data connectivity which can be hit or miss on the island .

PARKING : 

The Surf Casita has a  parking space which is directly on the split between the main road (Calle Marteo) and “Vista Nuclear”.   The Surf Break main house parking is to the right on the split (on Calle Marteo) and is the first gated spot on the left side of the road where there are two covered and gated parking spots.  Additional parking for the main house can be found on the right side of the road – across from the house as well as infront of the house if you pull up to the edge of the property.

Getting Around:

While we have had people stay and not get a car we do recomend getting one as they are very reasonably priced and gives you access to a much wider variety of things to do.

We HIGHLY recomend that you pre-pay for your rental car before arriving at the island.  The only rental car company I do not recomend is “Allied” car rental.  I have been told on more than one occasion that the online price is only an “estimate” which not suprisingly is always less than what they want to charge.  I have been told that this has happened to other people with other car rental companies in PR as well.

We apparently have 1x (yes 1x Uber driver in town).
