We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. If you're looking for a fancy, brand new building to stay in, this is probably not the rental for you. But we chose to stay here because it was right on the beach, and that part exceeded our expectations. There's no feeling like waking up to the view of the turquoise ocean right outside your window. We ate breakfast on the balcony with the gorgeous view of the ocean and walked down to the beach every day. Eraclio has beach chairs and towels too. Old San Juan was a 15-20 minute drive and El Yunque was about 30 minutes driving. That being said, the building itself is older. The elevator is definitely in need of some updating (pro tip: there is a staircase around the building - look for a white door), and because you need the key to get out as well as in, if you and your travel buddy split up, someone has to sort of get locked inside because you need the key to leave, which can bring up safety concerns. But if you okay with that, you will love this stay and being right on the beach!

Great Location with a Great View

First this was a great location. The condo was clean, comfortable with good AC, hot water, and beautiful view. There were towels but not wash cloths. They had pots and pans but need to be updated. They are in pretty bad shape if you want to do any cooking. Its a one bed condo but they have a sleeper sofa and plenty of room for four (4) adults easily. Communication with the host was great. They are quick to answer any questions. The check in and out process went very well and the photos they shared helped understand the locks for the property. TV’s had all the streaming services and the Wifi worked without any problems. The parking was the biggest issue for us. I tried for over 30 mins to find a place to park near the condo but ended up 3 blocks over. There was plenty of parking on the property but that does not come with the rental. We knew parking was not included but did not anticipate the logistical nightmare.

Awesome property! Right on the beach with others nearby. We walked to a lot- grocery, desserts, meals, and shopping. Using uber was easy if needed. Had a few issues arriving with key box and front door key. Owner communicated right away and we figured it out! I’m a runner so I loved how easy it was to leave from condo. Only downfall was the key situation. When running I had to literally lock my minor in the condo. Front door only locks from within with key. Only one key provided. Felt like a safety hazard to have her locked in Incase of fire/emergency but only other option is unlocked. Would definitely recommend!

The ocean view from this property is outstanding. The bed is comfortable. Plenty of hot water in the shower. Kitchen appliances and cookware were adequate, although we did not use the kitchen much. The gate to the beach is blocked off but there is beach access right next door to the property. I would rent this unit again simply for the beach view as it was so outstanding

Great Spot

We stayed in this 2nd floor, one bed condo for 3 nights before getting on a cruise.It was a great stay and we had fantastic views of the beach and a good sized balcony off the living room. We took an Uber from the airport to the apt. Which was about 10 and it was a little confusing figuring out which building was the correct one but after about 10 min we did; The outside of the building could use some freshening up but it wasn’t terrible and the unit was in good shape.Was about a 10 min walk to “the main drag” where you will fInd stores and restaurants and other large hotels with casinos. Also about a 18-20 min walk to a large supermarket.which we would recommend.The unit was in good condition and had a full size refrigerator and plenty of cookware and all you would need to prepare food, the bed was pretty comfortable and you can hear the waves from the sea and it was quiet as far as outside noise; we slept well. You will have to walk about a half a block or 3 min to get onto the beach because although the property has a gate leading to the beach it was blocked off bc it looked like a storm had caused damage to the 2 steps that brought you to the sand; the tide came right up to the steps so we just walked around the corner and it wasn’t a big deal. There are 2 beach chairs and towels and a small cooler to use; we found shade under some trees on the pretty beach.Skip Plato’s restaurant; clipping tourists. We ate authentic PR food at Diego’s 3 times! 7 min walk away.

Lovely view great location

I enjoyed the centrality of the location, everything wasin clse proximity, walking distance. I was disappointed about the cleanliness of the place. Dust was everywhere and my allergies was very active as a result. The kitchen was clean and facilities were good. There was no kettle so we had to boil water to make tea. Sleeping arrangement was less than suitable, there ere no bli ds in the living room to educe l8ght xposure oming into the living room area where the pull outbed was located. Bed in the bedroom as a full bed so not comfortable for 2 people. There were only two pillows,no xtra blanket to accommodate sleeping on the pull out bed. The dust levels in the bedroom was very high, window ledges, crevices of the bed corners everywhere was dusty. It was abig turn off for m because i booked the place bsed on the reviews for cleanness. Overall i had a good time. Location woukd be my number 1 reason to recommend this place.

This condo was everything we hoped for and then some. The location was stunning, the condo was clean and the beach was beautiful with not a lot of people. The condo is within walking distance to restaurants and shops. We took an Uber into Old San Juan which was very affordable and easy. The only con I can say is that I wish we had a few more bath towels to use. I highly recommend.
