While San Juan and Rincon remain the most popular vacation destinations in Puerto Rico, the advent of short-term vacation rentals has expanded the island’s tourism options—opening up farther-flung destinations with a dearth of hotel options and allowing the island to showcase its diverse charms more than ever before. According to the short-term rental data analytics platform AirDNA, there are 19,000 properties spanning every stretch of Puerto Rico, from the Cordillera Central Mountain Range to El Yunque Rainforest to the outer-lying islands of Vieques and Culebra. While that number may feel daunting, we’ve combed through some of the best rentals the island has to offer to help you narrow it down. Our picks include Airbnb properties deemed Guest Favorites or run by Superhosts, each with a rating of 4.8 or above and at least a 90 percent response rate, meaning they’ll get back to you ASAP.
