But this colloquial term doesn't just refer to native islanders. It embodies the spirit, flavor, and liveliness that the island and its people radiate.
Our business was born in Puerto Rico, so we found it fitting to pay a little homage to the island where we got our start.
Funny enough, we got into this business by accident. Tanner, the founder, had been on the island for about six months, and it was now the middle of the pandemic. A friend of his invited him over to their newly renovated apartment at the beach. At the end of the night, as Tanner was leaving, his friends asked if he would rent their apartment from them. Now that their project was done, they were moving back to the states, and they wanted to rent their apartment to someone they trusted.
Tanner turned them down. It was a beautiful apartment with a spectacular ocean view, but there was no way he would be able to afford to live there. His friends insisted. They said they didn't want to find and manage another tenant, and they didn't want the hassle of putting it on Airbnb and trying to manage it from thousands of miles away.
Then Tanner had an idea.
"What if I put it on Airbnb for you? I'll handle everything- the listing, the guests, the cleaners, and I'll make sure you just collect a check every month."
His friends liked the idea. And thus BoricuaBNB was born.
That experiment turned out to be a successful one. In fact it became Tanner's main business just a few months later as it rapidly grew. Now, Tanner and his team have managed over a dozen successful properties, hosted well over 1,000 guests, and have plans to continue to grow.
We would love to be a part of your vacation rental journey, and we would love for you to be a part of ours too.
I was born and raised in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. A few years ago, I sold almost all my belongings and got on a one way flight to Puerto Rico with a backpack. I had never been to the island, and didn't know anyone here. But I was craving an adventure and a change of scenery. I bounced all over the island for the first 6 months before finally settling in the greater Dorado area. Since then, Puerto Rico has become my home.
I have dabbled in many different industries-working with coffee manufacturing, insurance and financial advising, as well as marketing and advertising. I have always been entrepreneurial, and love finding opportunities and creating value for others.
Now, I invest in real estate and manage vacation rentals for a living. When I'm not working, you will probably find me exploring the island, taking part in volunteer ministry work, and spending time with my good friends that have become my family here on the island.
Both originally from Puerto Rico, Daniel and Kelisin called to New Jersey home for many years. There, Daniel worked as a chef at a prestigious country club, and Kelisin worked as a manager in the restaurant business, helping open up new locations. They moved back to the island several years ago.
Upon meeting them, it is instantly apparent they both have years of experience in the hospitality industry. They are some of the warmest and kindest people you will have the pleasure of meeting.
Daniel and Kelisin have been with us since we hosted our very first guest. They now handle most of the guest interactions, manage the cleaning team, make sure the properties are kept in great condition, and ensure our guests have the best possible experience.
When they are not working, you will likely find them enjoying the beach and spending time with their family.
This house was definitely a highlight of our stay! We initially stayed somewhere else with another host and had to move. So we found Tanner’s house last minute and he was absolutely amazing accommodating our party of 6. It’s literally a 1 minute walk to the beach and even bigger than it seems in the photos! This is now my San Juan “go to” place to stay! Thanks Tanner!

Amazing birthday trip for me and my friends. The house worked great for us. It was easy walk to the beach and plenty of local cafes and restaurants. A short ride to Old San Juan and the airport. Tanner and Kelisin were quick to respond when we had any questions.

We had a wonderful time here and can't wait to return again! Everything was clean, anything we needed was responded to quickly and kindly, and the communication was excellent. The view is absolutely outstanding and it's so peaceful. The ocean is so close and provides guests with a unique experience! Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time at Tanner’s Airbnb. The place was great for our large group. The neighborhood felt very safe and it was a quick Uber ride to anywhere we wanted to go. The rooftop patio was wonderful to hang out on and we had dinner on the lovely terrace on the first floor as well. I definitely would stay here again!
