A Month in Paradise

We were very fortunate to spend a month at this great condo in Bosque Del Mar and had a wonderful time walking the beach, swimming, and exploring the rest of the island from this convenient location. The condo is wonderful - it's on the first floor, approximately 80 steps to a beautiful, uncrowded beach, and 65 steps to a large, clean pool that was never crowded. We felt very secure and safe the whole time as the community is gated and has terrific security guards. The condo itself was very clean and the beds were comfy. All is as the pictures show. The kitchen supplies (pots, plates, blender, etc.) could use refreshing, but as most people don't stay for a month, this may not be important. The landlord was very responsive to any requests and needs. We enjoyed many restaurants in the area, especially Richies, and often walked one mile down the beach to the Rio Mar Hotel. The condo is a short drive to shopping, the Rain Forrest, Luquillo, and many other sites. We had a very special time and look forward to returning next year!!

The condo was perfect for a family of 4. It is located on the second floor of the building. The small balcony has a big, comfy hammock and overlooks a sparkling clean pool. The complex was QUIET!!! We stayed during March and felt like we were almost alone! The grounds are beautifully maintained, the beach is a 2 minute walk from the condo and the entire community is gated and very secure. The owner was extremely helpful, as were the staff working around the property each day. We will be returning!

My family of 6, including 4 children 7 and under, stayed in this condo unit and had a wonderful week. The complex itself is very well maintained and was mostly quiet throughout the week. Many times we had the pool and beach all to ourselves. We felt very safe as the security guard routinely makes the rounds and the complex is gated all the way around. The unit is located on the first floor and we enjoyed having our breakfast on the walkout patio overlooking the grassy courtyard. It is clean and has plenty of sleeping space to accomodate a family. It has everything you need to be comfortable, including washer/dryer, pots/pans, cable TV, etc. The complex has a putting green, beautiful tennis court, and nice playground equipment which my children loved. Everything was just as promised by the owner and I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

Owner response:It has been an enormous pleasure for us in having you and your family staying at Bosque del Mar. Honestly it has been carefully and meticulously prepared in order to provide the best vacation ever in the Caribbean. You have been a great tenant and we are looking forward to seeing you again next year. Please keep in touch!!!

We really enjoyed this place, the pictures are nice but it's hard to capture all the ameneties...you have to see it in person. The complex is very well kept in a gated community. The pool is absolutely pristine, the landscape is well kept...it is a really nice complex and very kid friendly. The location is very nice as well and easy to access. There is a lot to do, within driving distance, but at the same time its tucked away from main roads. The beach area was very nice as well and has gated access. We really enjoyed waking up each morning, walking right out to the beach to spend the day. The apartment itself is a gem of a place. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us and we really could of accomodated more. The kitchen had everything you need and there was plenty of beach accessories to use. The owner is great to deal with as well. He is quick to answer questions and is very helpful. We defintely will revist...it is a fantastic place.

Owner response:Thank you very much for staying in my place. I am very happy to know that you and your family had a great vacations under the sun. Please keep in touch and I am looking forward to seeing you next year!

My family and i thought Bosque De Mar was a wonderful place to vacation. we were close to the beach, accomodations were clean and comfortable with pool the owner made the trip particularly enjoyable by guiding us to places to eat and activities in the area. The horseback riding, close proximity to El Yunque national Park and close enough to go to Old San Juan. We had a great time!

Owner response:Thank you very much for staying in my place. I am very happy to know that your family had a great vacations in PR. I am looking forward to seeing you coming back next year. Keep in touch!
