You will have a good place to yourself and a good neighborhood to enjoy! Off the beaten path, San Sebastian is a hidden small town treasure between the central mountains and the west coast beaches of the Island. San Sebastian is a north-western town with a historical touch, and a European old-Spanish look that is 18 miles (35 mins) from the closest beach, Crash Boat, or 22 miles (45 mins) from Jobos Beach among others. It also offers the cultural experience of coffee plantations, like Hacienda La Fe, within walking distance and Hacienda Lealtad at 12 miles (25 minutes) in the nearby town of Lares. The property is perfectly located within 5 walking minutes of the center of the town, yet far enough to enjoy some privacy. Two major plazas to visit are the cultural Plaza de Identidad Pepiniana with interactive water fountains, and the Town Plaza surrounded by historical buildings. The people are very friendly and there is a variety of entertainment, coffee shops, cafes and Mom & Pop restaurants where you can enjoy brunch and then some! There are many bakeries to get the local bread and desserts, as well as fritters! For the action-driven crowd we have the Hacienda La Fe Adventure Park with zip lining, go-karts, rock climbing, and other amenities! And don’t forget local shopping nearby. We are also located within 3 miles (15 minutes) from the well-known Gozalandia Waterfall, and about 22 miles (45 minutes) form the surf-town of Rincon in the west corner of Puerto Rico. San Sebastian is within 19 miles (45 minutes) from the Borinquen Airport (BQN) in the town of Aguadilla or 66 miles (2 hours) from San Juan (SJU) and hosts 2 major festivals every year: La Hamaca (Hammock) in July and La Novilla (Heifer) in January.
