Quick Facts
About the Property
Casa Chunan is a 3-bedroom luxury vacation rental on the southeast coast of Puerto Rico, in the small coastal town of Maunabo. The property includes a private pool, ocean and mountain views, and is a 5-minute drive from Playa Los Bohíos and a 10-minute drive from the 19th-century Punta Tuna Lighthouse.
The villa is set in a quieter corner of Puerto Rico that most visitors never see — the rain-shadow side of the Cordillera Central, where the mountains breathe down into the Caribbean. It is a 90-minute drive from San Juan International Airport (SJU) and a world away in pace.
