The pictures don't give justice to this place. This place was MORE beautiful. Each room had views it was a corner condo so pick a room and there you go Puerto Rico everywhere. I was so appreciative when they got us a brand new pack and play for the baby, avoiding having to travel with one. The owner and staff of this building where great! They offered excellent advice as what to do on the island and how to get there. My whole family felt at home, my three kids, my husband, and two sisters. I would recommend this to anyone. As a mom I felt a peace with all my kids. The security was awesome all though I never felt concerned.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

We have stayed at a nice Stela Maris condo in the Condado area, but this Isla Verde apt surpassed it in location, security, spaciousness and beachfront.The owner was super-nice and very responsive to the few questions i had. We had a most excellent stay, even our 3 teenage girls were happy, lol!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

For our first trip to Puerto Rico, I must say, staying in this condo, was one of the best ideas. From the moment we arrived, Esther and Frank were there to greet us, and made us feel very welcomed. They also checked in with us a few times throughout our stay. The owner provided us with some recommendations prior to our arrival, which was nice to have, being our first trip. As soon as we entered the condo, we noticed that it was very spacious, and the view was SPECTACULAR! The condo is at the end of the building, which gives a very good view of PR. The location is perfect, since it's right off the beach, and close to restaurants and shopping locations. The building was well maintained, and the staff was friendly. The condo was well stocked with all the necessary items, as if we were in our own home, which was GREAT! This was a vacation that we will have to take again, and when we do, we will definitely look into staying here again!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My family and I traveled to PR on vacation (2 adults and our 19 and 23 year-old daughters) The building was very safe and so is the area. At times it can be frustrating because you need a key to enter and exit from the apartment and to/from the beach/pool but I will take that anytime since we were traveling with two young ladies. We felt safe at any time. Even at late hours of the night, there are lots of people walking around the neighborhood going to clubs, restaurants,etc. The police patrols the area constantly. The apartment is very nicely furnished and well stocked! (the furniture is different than the photo) Lots of towels both for bath and beach and lots of linens. The owner provided excellent customer service before our trip and his mother, Esther and her husband Frank were absolutely a pleasure to deal with once we arrived at the apartment. Esther called me a couple of times to make sure that everything was fine and to see if we needed anything. The owner, sent me a text message as we arrived to verify that everything was fine. We had plenty of room to move around and to have our own space, if we wanted it. My favorite part was definitely the balcony and the view. I looked forward to getting up to my cup of coffee to enjoy watching the waves. My only suggestion would be to add a few folding chairs and a beach umbrella to bring to the beach. We ended up paying $26/day to rent an umbrella and 4 beach chairs (you can only rent them until 5pm) The beach is a public beach so we were able to mingle with a lot of the locals as we celebrated the 4th of July. The locals were very respectful and just enjoyed and played at the beach which gave it a nice feeling of home as opposed to a touristy feel. We visited Ruben's Cafe across the street and Mi Casita (food was ok but definitely not very authentic and VERY pricey. We decided to rent a car and toured the island. That was a great idea. It was very easy to drive around (with a GPS) and ventured out to Casita Miramar near Santurce and many local eateries outside of the tourist area. But if you want a taste of real local food, make a left out of the building or catch a cab ride if you don't like walking (about 20 minutes) to Bebo's. Absolutely deliciousness! Best local food that we found was La Fonda del Jibarito in Old San Juan (excellent food and very inexpensive) The four of us ate 3 courses and a carafe of sangria for $80! You must visit El Yunque and Luquillo beach as well.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, sightseeing.

This was a return trip for my family to Puerto Rico. I have always stayed in hotels in the same area that this condo is located. After arriving and seeing the condo in person, it brought a new sense of excitement to the trip. The condo is situated in a perfect location. The beach, restaurants and shopping are all within walking distance. The decorations and the workmanship in the condo are amazing. The front door staff at the building were very friendly and helpful. The grounds at the condo are well taken care of and offer a variety of amenities. The owner and his family were wonderful hosts and a pleasure to meet. There are two things that I know at this point. I will be returning to Puerto Rico and it will be to this condo if it is available. If you have a large family, or just want a nice sized vacation rental, I would advise to select this one. It truely has it all.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My wife and three college age children stayed at this property and it met our needs perfectly. The complex is not new, but it is ideally situated and close to restaurants and convienence stores. Apartment is on the end which allows views out three sides of the building. Balcony is a great place to listen to the ocean, watch the activity and have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The owner was very accomodating and gave us useful and good recommendations. Property and area appear safe, but some inconvience with multiple doors & locks getting into and out of the property. Property is well maintained, clean and beds are comfortable. Full kitchen and washer/dryer are very nice. Other furnishings are adequate and allowed an adult family to have their space. Internet access was available and was very useful. We would stay at this property again.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car.

Spacious apartment, great size for a larger family. Fully equipped kitchen, again a blessing for a larger family so not to have to eat out for every meal. The building is a little dated and could use some upgrades, the gym was not really usable (no fault of the landlord that is the buildings issue). The pool was well maintained (we saw the pool man out there faithfully every morning). The apartment was clean, had a ample supply of beach towels and regular towels, though no washclothes we ended up buying shower scrunchies. The area is great, Walgreens (open 24 hours) directly across the street, 3 plazas all within walking distance. Wendys, Mcdonalds, taco bell, KFC, Churchs chicken, Grande, Ponderosa, Casino, everything you need without driving, Would recommend Charlies car rentals if you do rent as they are right across the street as well and provide shuttles to & from the airport. Overall a great stay!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

This was a perfect condo for us!! There were 6 of us (three couples). The condo is located in the heart of "everything". There are lots of places to eat, clubs, souvenior shopps. The beach is literally one minute walk, and the view from the balcony......AMAZING!!! I would recommend this to everyone!!! The owner is super nice, he even gave us some tips, called to check on us and see if we were having fun. Great experience, and I absolutely will rent this condo next time I visit PR :)Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed at this property for 1 week in November 2008 and had a great time. The apartment is really spacious and well equipped. The best part was the balcony with awesome direct views of the ocean! The building is a little bit old but well maintained, they were always cleaning; more importantly it was a really safe place with secure access to the beach. The beach was really nice and they had chair rentals right outside the building. The location was great, very close to the Intercontinental and El San Juan Hotel where you can walk for a lunch right at the beach (the Intercontinental) or a really nice drinks and dinner (El San Juan). We will definitely rent this property again!Recommended for: Families with young children, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
