Centrally located on the beautiful island of Culebra, The Lighthouse is up the hill from the airport, where tropical breezes await you. Your hosts David and Mary Wiedner will meet you at the ferry or airport and take you on a tour of the island or to pick up your rental vehicle. We offer many amenities including off street parking, a refrigerator and microwave as well as coffee pot in every room and a spacious private bath. We also offer beach towels and a cooler. Beach chairs are available. We are only 1.8 miles from beautiful Flamenco Beach and just a 3-minute walk to the grocery store. Should you elect not to rent a car, we are minutes away from a publico (minibus) route, or a 20-minute walk to town. We are on-site year round and look forward to making your vacation relaxing and memorable.

This is our second time at the Lighthouse - this time with our 2 little ones. Nothing has changed from when we were previously here 4 years ago - which is a great thing!! Nothing but a clean, homey place to stay. The room has a comfortable bed & pillows, mini fridge, microwave, warm water, soap & shampoo, along with dish soap (which is great as we had bottles to wash). There is a grocery store right down the street and the airport & car rental is also conveniently near by. Not to mention Playa Flamenco is a 5-10 minute car ride down the road!

We loved our 5-night stay in the Green Room which was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. Lovely garden right in front of our door where we enjoyed sitting. Great location. Wonderful hosts. We'll be back!

We booked this room as a rest spot the first and last day of our Culebra adventure and it does not disappoint. Mary and David were friendly and helpful with the many questions we had and assisted in a minor snafu we had with a beach vendor. Mary even offered to lend us a sheet to sleep on while we were camping on Flamenco. We stayed in a room at the back of the property that was completely private and cozy. The room was colorful and bright, clean and had the best mattress I have ever slept on. My husband and I are planning on buying one ourselves. Now, I have nothing negative to say about this property, we enjoyed every minute we spent there, but I don't believe it would be right for everyone. If you're expecting a luxurious accommodation with room service, this is not that place. Free Wi-Fi is available but reception just about everywhere on the island can be spotty and there's no TV- but if you're on Culebra you shouldn't be sitting in your room watching the tube you need to be out walking or in your golf cart exploring this rustic Caribbean island and its amazing beaches. The room had air conditioning but we only needed the ceiling fan. Microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine (with complementary Puerto Rican coffee) and eating utensils are made available. When we make another trip back, we will book here. Highly recommend.

This is a ordinary living residence where the ground floor has four rooms for renting. The rooms are clean and ok for sleeping, but nothing more. The price is to high for the low standard. You may walk to Flamingo beach in 25 minutes and to the centre in 15 minutes

I walked in and walked out. The room and bathroom are positively claustrophobic (really...room for a bed, mini fridge and nothing else), the bed is not comfortable, and there is a 1/3 roll of 1 ply toilet paper and 0 other toiletries provided. For anyone coming for less than a week, the idea of arriving and having to go buy hand soap, shampoo, conditioner (or whatever you might find in a normal B&B) is really discouraging. For someone wanting to stay just a couple nights...yeah, factor those costs in with the room cost along with the time investment required...not so appealing. This is really more "Airbnb/hostel" than "Inn/Bed and Breakfast". So if you bring ALL your own toiletries (or you don't wash your hands after using the bathroom and don't shower on a regular basis), don't care what you sleep on, and don't want to do anything but sleep in the room (because walking across the room takes 2 steps), this place is ok. I'm flabbergasted at the number of 5 star ratings.

We enjoyed our stay at the lighthouse. Mary was very helpful when I had questions when booking our stay. The room was clean and cozy. They are close to the ferry, beaches and little market and restaurants. Perfect location and easy to get around in a golfcart. Culebra is a relaxing place and is so beautiful. Can't wait to come back and visit again❤️

We're very glad our friends recommended the Lighthouse. Mary was very kind and attentive to all of our needs during our stay. The accommodations were more than comfy for our party of 5; and we were provided with everything from beach chairs and towels to a small fridge and coffee makers in each room. The Lighthouse is way more than a bargain for the price. Give 'em a shot and you'll as pleasantly seen to as we were. ~Rafael

If you love adventures, simplicity, privacy, peace and quiet this is the place to stay! My husband and I have stayed at The Lighthouse 2 years in a row. We have stayed in the Green room, which is located close to the garden area. This room is perfect for a couple! If you are thinking about spending extra time relaxing yourself and just come back after a long day of adventures around the island to just unwind and relax this is the place to stay! The room has a private restroom. Everything is beautifully decorated. The linens smelled fresh and the amenities were great and simple!!! The hospitality of the Weidners was fantastic! The guest house is up the hill from the airport. Very short distance from other businesses and restaurants. Also, the location is fairly close to all the best beaches!!! Best vacation ever!

We (six of us, including two children) stayed at The Lighthouse over spring break. The Lighthouse is about a mile from Tamarindo Beach (where there are sea turtles) and 1 1/2 miles from Flamenco Beach, a beautiful white sand beach. Beach towels and beach chairs were provided, there was a small refrigerator and a microwave in each room and a grocery store was very nearby. Our rooms were comfortable, air conditioned and clean and our hosts, Mary and Dave, were friendly and helpful.
