Map & Owner's Profile
Mediterranean-Style Sub-Penthouse with Captivating Sunset View
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Aguadilla
Life doesn’t get any better than this! Our sub-penthouse overlooks our favorite beach on the island, Crash Boat Beach, which is just a 3 min. drive from the condo. Jerry always dreamt of having a place in Aguadilla with an ocean view from where he could watch the sun set into the ocean at the end of each day. He (and you too) can do this now from the privacy of our sub-penthouse balcony.
You can fly into the Raphael Hernandez International Airport (BQN) and in less than 10 minutes you are in “your dream” home away from home. The condo is perfectly situated to explore the northwest and western part of the island. Some of the best beaches on the island are in Aguadilla and its surrounding area. The area is very popular for scuba diving, snorkeling and surfing although other water sports abound.
We are pretty familiar with the area and welcome the opportunity to help you plan your stay. In the condo you will find, in addition to tourist magazines, detailed information of area attractions, things to do, places to eat, and more.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
The ocean view from the condo balcony is stunning, every sunset is a captivating sight, the weather’s divine all year round, and the local beaches are better than ever. The view of the whales migrating west during the winter months is definitely a must see.

Owner's Map of Aguadilla
My husband and I grew up in Aguadilla. Our love of Crash Boat Beach brings us back every year. Although, we have family and friends in Aguadilla, Jerry always wanted a place in Puerto Rico that he could call our “home away from home.” When Jerry learned about Puerta del Mar he jumped at the opportunity to purchase a condo with a view of the ocean. We have found it to be the perfect place for family vacations as well as a quiet, relaxing and fun getaway for couples or a group of friends. Our 2 boys absolutely love it there. We have lived in Maryland for 18 years and have vacationed in Aguadilla every year except for one. What was once the playground of our youth is now “a dream” come true and we are so glad that we could share it with you! Liz and Jerry, Maryland
