The best of the best! Luquillo has the best beaches in Puerto Rico and Playa Azul beach is one of them. And the Playa Azul Towers are right there. Tower 1 has the best view of the ocean, and this apartment sits high on the eleventh floor of Playa Azul 1, with a commanding view of nature's best. It is a one-bedroom unit ideal for a romantic get-away or a small family. The bedroom has a huge king-sized bed and its own window looking out to the ocean. Plus at the eleventh floor you can still hear the soothing sound of the waves. The bedroom has a very efficient A/C unit, but many renters do not use it preferring to sleep to the sound of the waves and the usual breeze of the easterly trade winds. There is a very comfortable futon in the living area that allows for up to two additional people, and which is also great for mid-afternoon siestas. The kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel fridge, stove and microwave. This apartment is new on the rental market. Come once and you will surely return many times. I'm sure you would rather be in it right now!
The gated Playa Azul Complex is located one mile from world-class Luquillo public beach, one of the most famous and beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico. The complex sits on its own large crescent beach with gentle waves - perfect for body surfing, sunbathing, or strolling. Luquillo public beach is a short walk to the West and an excellent surfing beach ("La Pared") is a short walk to the East.
Inside the complex you will find tennis and basketball courts, two pools (including a toddlers pool), play equipment for kids, and a clubhouse. A grocery store, drug store, gas station, bank ATM, Laundromat, and several restaurants are within walking distance.
The condominium's location in Luquillo is ideal for exploring the Eastern part of Puerto Rico. The El Yunque National rainforest is just a few minutes West on Route 3 and Fajardo, with ferries to Culebra and Vieques - the Spanish Virgin Islands, and its own natural wonder bioluminescent bay is a few miles East. Shopping in old San Juan and at the outlets are just 20 to 40 minutes away. Several championship golf courses are located at several nearby golf resorts within 10 miles. Stay in Playa Azul for a fraction of the cost of a hotel and enjoy the best of Puerto Rico!

There was an outlet on the wall next to the dresser in the bedroom that needs fixing (its kind of hanging off the wall exposing the wires) and we had our very curious 2 year old that kept trying to get to it. We let management know that the iron needed replacing because it was found cracked during our stay and the router wasn't working so our laptop couldn't connect to the internet with it. But these are minor things that can be fixed. The condo had a beautiful view of the beach and we had everything we needed. It was very easy to get to as well. We had a great time here and will definetly want to stay here when we go back!
Owner response:I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. We'll fix the electrical outlet and replace the iron. I'm a little confused by your router comment because there is no router in the unit. The connection to the internet is "hardwired" using the ethernet cable connected to the modem in the unit. In any case, thanks for your feedback and I encourage you to give me a call whenever you find any problems in the unit during your next stay, which I hope is soon.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Wonderful property owner! Quick & easy rental transaction. Great view of the beach & mountains.

First and foremost, we must say thank you to Pedro for always being so prompt in responding to our questions and concerns about the rental unit. Prior to leaving for our vacation, we sent an email to see if an ironing board and hairdryer were provided in the unit. He reported that they were not, but a brand new (still in the packaging) ironing board, hairdryer and blender were delivered to the condo on the morning after our arrival! Other questions arose while we were there, and he was always remarkably courteous in his quick replies. The view of the ocean from the balcony is breath-taking. The property is tucked into a crescent along the coast with palm trees lining the beach, a view of the mountains and islands to the east, and a small marina to the west. There is also an amazing view of the mountains and rainforest from the public balcony outside of the unit's entrance door. Even when it's a hot day or evening, the trade winds keep blowing through to keep you comfortable. We only turned on the A/C unit in the bedroom on 1 night there! These are not luxury properties, but the unit we stayed in was clean, well-equipped and well-maintained by the owner. Tower 1 is currently under construction to make improvements to the property. There was frequent noise and some litter in the public areas from the construction project, but this could not be helped by the owner. We would definitely rent from Pedro again in the future!
Owner response:Just a brief note written July 7, 2010 to confirm that all construction work mentioned above in Tower 1 of the Playa Azul complex has been completed. We appreciate the patience of all our visitors.
Recommended for:Sightseeing.
