Keywords: Condo
Guests are always stunned by THE VALUE this apt offers. It is the best you will find in the Condado area; tastefully decorated and with everything you will need for a relaxing vacation. It is one block from the nicest beach in the metro area, the one locals prefer. It’s also helpful to know that the owner worked for the PUERTO RICO TOURISM COMPANY and can help you plan your stay.
We are located, one block from one of the NICEST and SAFEST beaches in the Metro area. Not all beaches in Condado are SAFE to swim in, ours IS. Walk around Condado or to La Placita de Santurce (a local marketplace that becomes a popular night hangout)… all are a few minutes away.
This is an excellent one bedroom apartment (can sleep 4) with kitchen, dining/living room, bathroom, cable TV, internet, A/C throughout and a separate window unit in the bedroom. You’ll have your own laundry, a nice perk if you plan to spend a few days on the beach! The apartment’s kitchen is equipped so you can save a few bucks off your meals instead of eating out at restaurants every day, though there are tons of excellent restaurants in the area. It also has an assigned parking space.
The apartment is next to At Windchimes Hotel which charges $160 per night plus tax.
10 minutes driving from Intl Airport and 10 min to historic Old San Juan. Take a trolley ride in Historic Old San Juan, shop at Plaza Las Americas or Isla Verde

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
Prior to moving back to PR, I lived in NYC, Barcelona, Madrid, South Africa and Atlanta. I've travelled a lot and learned the value of having a homey place to sleep in without having to pay a fortune. I moved back to the Island and decided Condado was the right place for me. I lived in this property for 3 LOVELY years and have been renting it for 3 more - from executive rentals to vacation rentals! The apartment is full of great memories and I know my tenants can feel its energy!
Why the Owner Chose Condado
It is right in the middle of the action yet peaceful and restful as it is not on a noisy part of Condado. The beach a block away is great and one can walk along the coast miles and miles. Not all beaches in Condado are this great. Ocean Park also has a nice beach but lacks the city living trendiness Condado has and you can hardly walk anywhere
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
Nice decor, the apt is not tacky and furnished with leftovers as many vacation rentals are. You'll be a block away from a great beach.

Alexandra made our stay effortless and has lots of little extras to offer guests.. I noticed that she even went so far to have little toys for tiny travellers! We packed up the back pack beach chairs and headed straight down the street to the local beautiful beach.. Convenient store right next to condo that has "adult" beverage and all things you can imagine and grocery was a short walk down the street. Also a great quaint coffee shop within minutes. We took advantage of the location and went down to the Marriott and local restaurants that were an easy walk. The condo itself is comfortable and well maintained and boasts a washer and dryer! We enjoyed it and would consider staying there again. Very clean!

I was in the Condado area for a family wedding. The condo is conveniently located to some great spots. Breakfast was awesome at Kesalta Bakery which is a short walk from the condo. Also Bebo's cafe for lunch or dinner was also tasty and literally steps away. The condo was very clean and comfortable. It actually felt like a summer home away from home. Alexandra was very friendly and welcoming and went out of her way to accomodate us. We would definitely be back!

The condo was comfortable and as described in the listing. Condado was a very safe area and we felt perfectly comfortable walking back and forth (just 1 1/2 short blocks!) to the beach at night. The location truly is impeccable and within walking distance to both a 24 hour grocery story and many good restaurants. When we arrived, Paco provided us with a driving tour of the Condado area to orient us to the surroundings. He was very kind and we were highly impressed with the additional, above and beyond hospitality. We would absolutely stay at this condo again due to the location and personability of the owners.

First, I'll begin with the prompt reply when I inquired whether the apartment would be available for our stay. Alexandra was great! She replied within the hour and was very attentive, friendly and courteous, and which was very plesant. She made the whole reservation process go very smoothly. We initially reserved the apartment for 4 nights since the last two nights were not available, but to our luck the next guests canceled their reservation and we didn't hesitate to request to stay the remaining nights. The apartment is exactly how the pictures show it to be. It's very comfortable and cozy and the free parking space is an undeniable convenient bonus! There is a yellow folder underneath the tv in the stand with a loads of information and menus to restaurants, which I read through one morning while having breakfast and I thought it was very informative and thorough. The apartment is literally a block and a half from the beach which is clean, beautiful and safe! It is also perfectly located between Isla Verde and San Juan and two blocks from the supermarket (which also serves some awesome breakfast and lunch by the way) and easily accessible to the expressway. The main cross street where the apartment is located is Calle Loiza and whatever you could possibly need, you will have no problem finding along that street. The air conditioner in the bedroom stopped working when we arrived at the apartment late on the second night and I let Alexandra know about it the following morning and went out. When we arrived back later that night, it had been completely replaced with a new air conditioner. Talk about fast! All in all, this was one of the best rentals we have ever stayed in and we intend to go back again with our children. If you want a comfortable place to stay in the middle of all the action, without having to go broke on your vacation, this is the place! It feels like being home away from home. Don't overlook it. I will not hesitate to recommend this apartment rental over and over again. Thank you Alexandra and Paco for being so accommodating during our stay!

It's Vacation

My cousin and I chose to stay in Puerto Rico instead of Miami for the Memorial Day weekend. What a great choice! Paco was such a great host. The condo was true to the pictures shown. It had everything necessary for our stay. It had a full kitchen, dining area, a convertible bed that can fit two people in the living room (it is so comfortable) and a queen bed in the bed room. Once we arrived to the condo, Paco gave us his ‘five minutes tour‘ which is an understatement. We drove to Old San Juan and the main attractions which are on Ashford Avenue. There is a grocery store nearby. The beach is a block away (look in the closet for the chairs). There is a yoga studio not too far called It’s Yoga. Every recommendation for a restaurant was a hit with both of us. We recommend the following: Pinky’s for breakfast (located by Uno’s). We left the menu at the condo. Latin Star for local cuisine/dishes. The Sangria is a must. Postino. The tortellini dish can feed two people. Nice ambience. Caficulture (Old San Juan). You must try the French toast with pineapple marmalade. Haagen Dazs. My cousin had to have her daily dose of ice cream. Danny’s Pizza It was truly a vacation. I would recommend. Thanks again Paco and Alexandra.

We stayed here for 8 days. It was amazing! Paco and Alexandra are amazing hosts; Paco took me on a five minute tour when I first arrived and showed me some great restaurants, which was so helpful. 5 minute walk to the beach which is fantastic. Condado beach is much much nicer to swim in than the others around San Juan. Also, the sand is doesn't stick to you and much easier to get off your body, clothes and shoes. When I go back to Puerto Rico, which I will, I will definitely stay again. Amazing.

Paco and Alexandra were so sweet and extremely helpful to us during our stay. Paco picked us up from the airport and gave us a small tour of the neighborhood to let us know where the good spots were and also where not to venture to. The apartment exceeded what we expected. It was perfect and way better than a hotel would have been. I will definitely keep them in mind on my next trip to PR. :)

Great Place and Location in Condado Beach

I had the opportunity to stay for 9 nights. What a nice setup. We took full advantage of the full kitchen and 24hr grocery store a few blocks away making some breakfasts and dinners. We did have a car and it was nice having an assigned parking space. The apartment is 1 block from the beach and not far from many restaurants. We purchased a Puerto Rico entertainment book for 2011. We left the book and card for any future guests. The book is good until Nov. 2011. It was also very nice to have a washer and dryer in the apartment. The wifi was fast and there were a good amount of stations on the cable tv. You will not be disapointed at all. Alexandra was great and we hope to schedule another stay sometime. The last Sunday of the month is the Heiniken Free Jazz festival, the Radisson Casino had live entertainment and another close by restaurant had live entertainment on Monday nights. There was a great restaurant nearby that I believe was called Anthony's. They accept the entertainment card and did not punch the card. You will have fun.

We were very pleased with our stay at this San Juan apartment. It is comfortable & conveniently located. We were close to the Beach & also close to many Restaurants. Washer Dryer and Parking Space were a bonus. Alexandra was very helpful & answered all of our questions.

We stayed in Alexandra and Paco's condo from January 18-25 and fell in love with the area. The condo was so convenient for going to the beach, shopping, dining out, or for just taking a neighborhood stroll. Both Alexandra and Paco were so personable and gave us so much useful information which made our stay even more enjoyable. The condo itself was roomy, completely furnished with all the essentials, and spotlessly clean. It was a joy to throw on our bathing suits and be at the beach in minutes. The beach was safe and beautiful. We so enjoyed eating at the local eateries instead of chain restaurants. All the people we met were so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. This was probably our best vacation ever and we can't wait for a return visit next year.
