This is an excellent rental for two couples. It includes FREE Internet WIFI and Air Conditioning. It is right on the Beach with a full unobstructed view!! The apartment offers 400 square feet of living space with a fully equipped kitchen and four-piece bathroom. The unit features newly installed sliding doors on the beach side with air conditioner. Walk from the building directly onto the beach, bring a book and rent a lounge chair for a sunny morning or afternoon.
The beach/ocean view is awesome! You'll be lulled to sleep by the surf. This vacation rental is just three miles down the beach from historic Old San Juan.
Enjoy the best of the West Indies and the soft on-shore Trade winds. We offer affordable private tours of the island including snorkeling, exploring the rain forest, El Yunque, and shopping in Old San Juan.
Condado Beach has been the premiere holiday destination in San Juan since the 1960's! That's because of location. It is convenient to the financial and educational centers of the city, from Old San Juan, the vibrant 500 year-old colonial center home, to remarkable festivals, dining and sightseeing, to the International Airport which is the hub of the Caribbean.
It is also because of the beach. The surf at Condado Beach is popular with locals who test their skills on weekends. Within two blocks of the Apartment are half a dozen hotels with casinos, restaurants, shops, and three car rental agencies. It's a vacation mecca.
You don't need a car to enjoy yourself fully at Condado. When you want to take a day to explore the island, simply arrange to rent a car within two blocks and drop it off at night when you return. Condado is a premiere destination to which you can return again and again.
Condado Beach is a well established tourist area in San Juan. Our apartment building, Condominium Stella Maris, is located on the West side at the end of Condado Avenue. We are right on the beach. The building is a gated community where you will feel comfortable and secure, yet enjoy taking in the local beach scene from the spectacular view from your apartment.
The elevator is keyed, and only those with the key to your floor can access it. There are four apartments on each floor, so you will most likely get to know your neighbors. We do not compete with major hotel chains, but neither do we charge the $350/night rates! We pride ourselves in providing apartments that are clean and functional.
Each year we stay in the apartments and add amenities to upgrade them. So each time you come you will note changes and improvements for your enjoyment. FREE HIGH SPEED INTERNET WIFI. Come to enjoy yourself.

I rented this unit for one week and it was just as described. The location was awesome. You are literally in walking distance to restaraunts, stores, casinos, and best of all your right on the beach. Tom the owner, was a joy to deal with. He provided good detailed information which helped me enjoy my stay. I look forward to using this rental in the future.
Owner response:This review is enormously rewarding to both Susan and me

The 2nd floor unit was perfect for my husband, mother & me. We cooked most of our meals and enjoyed them overlooking the beach. The building security was excellent. Great TV & WiFi. You can walk, bus or taxi anywhere. We did have a car so drove to El Yunque raiforest. It was beautiful. Took a taxi to Old San Juan & and a bus on the return trip. The owner & his agents in San Juan were very nice, helpful & easy to work with.
Owner response:It gives me a real sense of satisfaction to contribute to a couple's vacation ... thanks for taking the time to give this feedback.

My husband and I stayed here in October 2010 and June 2011. We love this apartment you will not find a better location. Tom and Susan are great to rent from and Velma and Tito are such an asset and always available and have a wealth of knowledge of the area. This is a "must experience" because honestly words cannot express how awesome it is to have the breaking waves lull you to sleep each night. The location is convenient to everything; no rental car needed unless you just want one, we walked all over Condado and took the city bus to Old San Juan and enjoyed every minute of it!!! Can't wait to return :)
Owner response:I hope you are able to come back often to enjoy Puerto Rico!

First and for most THANK YOU Tom, Susan, Tito, and the rest of you all that helped arranged this. From the beginning Tom and Susan had been very communicative and prompt with their responses. They made sure I was adequate with all the information I needed before my departure. For example, I emailed Tom 4:00 am on my way to the airport because I had forgotten some details and he responded right away. Would you receive that kind of response 4:00 am at a Hotel?. . . NO WAY! As soon as I arrived Tito was there to help. He manages the apartment, and he allowed me an early check-in at 11:00 am as opposed to 1:00 pm. He gave me a tour of the apartment, showed me where I can find things, etc. He was sweet and very helpful. The apartment was absolutely beautiful. As soon as I walked through the door way I was overwhelmed by the view and began to cry. The view was spectacular; felt like it was my own private beach. The apartment is adorable, I feel in love with it because it's very beachy, not posh at all, you automatically feel comfortable and want to take your shoes off and enjoy the way of life in San Juan. Everything is in walking distance: shops, restaurants, Walgreens, bars, Starbucks, etc. And if you want to leave Condado beach then you just take a taxi, there were always taxis outside the apartment because the Marriott was right across the street. Being in San Juan and staying at Toms and Susan's lovely apartment opened my eyes to a different way of life. I love the city, but you sure appreciate the simple things in life when you don’t have all those distracting things around you. Thank you so much for the incredible memories and life changing experience, it was priceless. I will be back soon and will definitely love the opportunity to stay at your lovely home again.
Owner response:For 14 years we have rented our oceanfront apartments to guests when we are not there .. and we've had many wonderful guests who want to feel like they are really in San Juan Puerto Rico ... people who want this seem to be attracted to our site and they meet their expectations.

We stayed for a week in Apt. 7A. It was perfect, exactly what we wanted. The view of the beach and the ocean from the enormous windows is unbeatable. The building was quiet, and the balcony is great to sit on and enjoy the wind and the surf. It takes just a couple minutes to walk to the beach, and it is only a block to restaurants and shops. The owners were very nice, and Tito was very helpful. There was no parking included, but the people at the Marriott were great when we rented a car and parked it there. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone.
Owner response:Over the years I learned how important it is to describe our apartments clearly and honestly. We try to advertise honestly, ensuring guests don't have higher expectations than we can meet. We try to offer clean and functional apartments. They are older, but they are not the Marriott which is next door. And we don't charge an arm and a leg for them! Of course, our apartments are right on the beach .. the location is a "$350-a-night location" which our guests rent for 1/4 of that! And Vilma and Tito are the most helpful people you can find for they really care about you when you are with us.

The location of the property was great! Easy walk to the bus stop, beach, grocery store, and local hangout spots. We enjoyed staying in the studio very much. Thank you so much for the ride to and from the airport which created a fantastic final service to our trip.
Owner response:We strive to make our three oceanfront apartments affordable and it is our credo to provide clean, functional and secure accommodation for travellers to San Juan ... we are definitely not a 5 star hotel,, but we definitely are a 5 star value for people wanting to enjoy themselves in the midst of one of the most loved beaches in Puerto Rico.

We spent 4 nights at Tom's apartment recently. The location is excellent, close to shops, markets, restaurants. Bus stop on the corner, easy access to OSJ. The apartment is not luxurious but it has all the necessities, it's clean and everything is in working order. I miss those ocean breezes, the view and the sound of the waves. My gratitude to Vilma and Tito for offering to drive us to be "big" supermarket. Tom, I have already recommended your apartment to several people and be assured that we'll stay at the Stella Maris condo upon our return to Puerto Rico, which I hope will be in a not too distant future. Thank you, again, for a great experience in San Juan.
Owner response:It makes my day to read this .. we love our place on the beach and to share it with people who love it too is what it's all about!

Studio: We are wrapping up a wonderful week in apartment 2C. The accommodations are as described and pictured. The apartment is older but comfortable, clean enough, safe, and conveniently located. The ocean view is outstanding, and the sound of the waves is amazing. Though an HGTV-style low-cost renovation would really make this place shine, we have been satisfied with our stay and appreciate that the owners keep the rent affordable. Adding some high director chairs that allow you to take in the amazing ocean view while eating, reading, etc. would be an excellent addition. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again and would recommend others rent from Tom. Food and Drink: Overall, we were disappointed in the restaurants in the area. Though they are plentiful, they mostly seem to be tourist traps. Latin Star was the best value. We were happy to have a kitchen in which to cook up yummy, cheap meals. There is a large supermarket about a 10 minute walk away, a small grocers (Eros) a few blocks past the Marriott, and a Walgreens w/ a grocery section a block away. There are great happy hours in the area, but you do have to ask--they are not clearly advertised and bartenders do dot tell you the deals unless you ask them directly if there is a happy hour. The Marriott has a Bacardi happy hour at the beach bar from 4-6. Our favorite place to lounge was the fancy, mid-century modern La Concha resort. The terrace at La Concha is a wonderful place to sit; the food is on the pricier side but fresh, and the ambiance is great. They also have a decent happy hour from 6-8 at the inside bar--$3 angus sliders, $2 fries, $8 mixed drinks. We heard good things about the La Perla restaurant at the resort, but it was out of our price range. Miro, across from the Marriott, has a 2 for 1 happy hour. In Old San Juan, we enjoyed a pretty good fish lunch at AquaViva--thanks for the suggestion, Tom. Overall, this has been a wonderful vacation!
Owner response:Some great suggestions here .. "HGTV-style low-cost renovation would really make this place shine, we have been satisfied with our stay and appreciate that the owners keep the rent affordable. Adding some high director chairs ..." We'll do this when we save the money. We've kept the rents at our 1998 rates all these years so people can find great happy hours to spend the money they save!
