After touring multiple areas of the island, we moved to Palmas del Mar resort community on the Southeast coast of the island. These are our actual costs, plus a home comparison of 3 bedroom options around the neighborhood.

Our actual utility expenses, based on 2 adults and the occasional house guest are:
Water (Palmas Del Mar has a private water utility) $90/month
Liberty Cable internet $100/month
Satellite internet (as a backup) from HughesNet $100/month
Electricity is around $230/month based on 23 cents/kWh, compared to average 13 cents/kWh in mainland United States.

All housing costs and expenses will vary based on our needs and behaviors. These are my actual expenses, and a comparison of a wide range of housing costs for three bedroom furnished rentals. Unfurnished homes will be less expenses, and homes outside of gated resort communities are less expensive, as well.

Housing prices are as of May 2019, when this video was completed. Actual houses available and housing prices may vary due to normal market conditions. All housing prices quoted are based on a 12 month lease or longer for a furnished and equipped home in Palmas del Mar, Puerto Rico.
