We're coming back!!!!

Our last visit was in October 2001. I'm sure much has changed but we hope not too much. Any hints on houses or cottages to rent? And can you still rent a jeep? Carlos Jeeps was right near the airport.

Craig, Not too much has changed. A few new restaurants, many new rental accommodations, scooters for rent. Carlos now has an office IN the airport. If you want to be on the beach, Zoni Beach House is new since 2001 and is right on Zoni Beach. You can look us up on this website.

Molly and Jerry rent out their home in culebra...they bought the most darling house a few years ago in Culebra. Molly was from Pittsburgh PA, and Jerry from Florida. They met ,fell in love, and moved to Culebra. They are the BEST people to stay with there...they can take you on tours in their own vehicle if you don't want to rent.
Give them a call:

careful on carlos jeep rental. When I was there in May, they tried every which way to stick me with insurance charges. I even called my agent stateside to FAX them proof of insurance which at first they denied receiving but once I pointed it out in the folder, they said I forgot to initial a part of the form dealing with something else and had to charge me anyhow. (I had already initialed the decline statement since I promised to send them proof of insurance). I cannot recall what this "new" item was that served as a convenient excuse for them, but it was clear from our conversation at arrival that I did not opt for extra insurance. Once I raised a big enough stink about it, they agreed to not charge me but it took a while and some real restraint ; it was not a great way to end the trip.

Although I am not disputing what may or may not have happened to you in May at Carlos Jeep ... I must say we have rented from them for the last three years and never had any problems at all! They are always courteous, reliable and go out of their way to help us!

Hola!
Gary,
Culebra is a very small and peaceful Island and the people are very nice, courteous and we help a lot the tourist....Don't burn your self talking bad about Carlo's Jeep and the people of Culebra.
When you come to an Island "that is not your territory" in this case is Culebra Puerto Rico, You "The tourist" have to accomodate your self to our culture and rules, you liked it or not.... ( In this cases Carlo's Jeep have his rules and they are very professionals)......The Client always is "Right" but all the business have rules and have to be follow...I hope that next time you come to Our Island Culebra with another mind.

Welcome back Graig Amo, and not let any one talk bad about Culebra, pass by Barbara's Rosa Rest. and contact Tochi if you need a house or apt. to rent call me 787-742-3271, I have few for rent.....

Hola' Tochi,

Thanks for responding to the question. I too have a very favorable view of Culebra and its residents. We had such a wondeful experience in 2001 we just have to come back. My wife rarely wants ro revisit a place we have been before but Culebra is the exception. We ate out only a few times and did most of our cooking in our rental after long days of snorkeling and curising around the island.

I will certainly be in touch with you when our plans get closer to coming back to Culebra.

Buenos Suerte!

Is Jerry and Molly anti-car-rental. Every post refers
to them driving you around or taking you out in a boat.
Maybe they should get their own Island. Stick with
Trish or Tocci (sp?)

nothing is wrong with my "mind" My money and I have been coming to Culebra for 13 years and I have never encountered as much hassle as this incident. Before lecturing me about accomodating the culture, you should know I am not new to the island. If your businesses want to continue to succeed they must try to make sure their customers are happy.

Hi,

In response to your response about Molly and Jerry. They would love for the visitors to rent a jeep or car, however I wanted the visitors to know that they have offered in the past to take you out and about if you choose that package. Absoulutley you can rent your own vehicle and explore on your own.
Mr Smits, I am not a sales person for Molly and Jerry. I have not even asked their permission to write about them. I just know from family and friends that their stay with them was awesome when they visited. I too will be visiting them in the Spring and my hubby and I WILL be renting a jeep so we can go about at our own pace.

Anyone interested in chatting with Molly or Jerry about what they do offer give them a call...they are super duper nice and very accomodating!
