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

                This was our 1st private rental and we were a little nervous. But Alexandra & Poco were very accommodating. They even mailed us the keys as our flight arrival was 3:00am. The apartment was the perfect size for my husband and I. Most importantly it was CLEAN! They even took time to text us recommendations of places to eat and explore. Restaurants are close and the beach (not crowded) was a short walk down the street. Everything you need to enjoy the beach is in the closet(chairs, cooler, games...) Old San Juan is only a 15 min drive or bus ride. This is a great stay if you are looking to save money (to spend on enjoying the island). Finally Alexandra made us feel like we could contact them for anything...they were only a call or text away. We WOULD certainly stay here again!

                This is a comfortable apartment, nothing fancy, but has everything that is needed. the bed is comfortable, lots of hot water, an easy kitchen, washer, dryer, elevator, beach chairs. A short walk to the beach. And a short cab or bus ride to old San Juan or central Condado restaurants. Alex and Paco are terrific hosts, generous with time and help, non-interfering but always available for questions and advice. We hope to visit San Juan again, and we wouldn't think of staying anywhere but Alex and Paco's place. Many thanks!

                This is a well-situated apartment in the Condado district of San Juan, with parking space, easy access to transportation, close to a major supermarket, and a five-minute walk to the beautiful and uncrowded beach and to Condado restaurants. The apartment is large, very clean, with appliances in a good-sized kitchen. The owners couldn't be nicer, very friendly and helpful. They take a personal interest in your needs. I would definitely recommend this place to a relative or good friend. I hope to stay there again on another trip. It's a excellent choice and a good value.

                We enjoyed our stay in Alexandra's apartment. The location was great, close to the beach and a variety of restaurants and activities in Condado. The apartment was spacious, clean and functional - we were pleased to have a full-size equipped kitchen and wireless Internet access. Beach chairs, towels and a small cooler were also included and we took advantage of them! Alexandra was very professional and easy to work with.

                Traveled to PR for the second time, this is the 3rd property I have rented in PR. The pictures are very accurate. The apartment location was great and having parking was wonderful. The apartment was clean. Paco and Alexandra were very nice and easy to communicate with. The rental process was very easy. I travel with my family a lot and rely on reviews before renting, so I would only want to be honest. The furniture is run down. There is the futon/couch you see in the picture but it is covered in stains. My teenager wouldn't sit on it without it being covered with a clean sheet. The actual bed is pretty uncomfortable. There is a broken rocking chair in the living room. Other than the chairs at the table there isn't anywhere other than the futon/couch to sit. Having said that though, I would still rent this apartment again if I were in the area. It is just showing some wear and tear that probably should be addressed.

                Owner response: Thanks for your feedback, we are sorry to hear about the stains on the futon. We take great pride at exceeding our guest expectations and where unaware that the cleaning crew had taken the futon cover to be professionally dry cleaned. They left the sofa’s original cover (which is stained) exposed. My apologies for the incident and hope we get the opportunity to host you again

                This condo was exactly as advertised. Great location directly up from the beach and easy walk to Ashford Ave shops/restaurants. You get exactly what you expect and more than you paid for! Don't expect a great view but the condo has all you need and is very comfortable. What you do get are fantastic hosts. I can't say enough about how helpful they were from prompt email response,to meeting us and helping get us settled to even helping retrieve a favorite shirt a couple of weeks later! We would definitely stay again

                My husband and I stayed here with our two young adult daughters and it was a perfect place and location for us. Just up the street from the beach and easy commute to Old San Juan. Paco provided a most welcoming experience and was very helpful in showing us the highlights and making recommendations for sightseeing and dining. We can't wait to go back!

                The condominium is in a great location, near lot of restaurants, entertainment, and of course, 1 block from the beach. Alexandra is really easy to work with, and Paco met us at the airport to take us to our rental car location, explained everything we needed to know and was genuinely friendly and accommodating! We will not hesitate to stay in San Juan at Alexandra's apartment again!

                The nightly rate will tell you this isn't the Ritz, but what it is, is more than worth the price. Alexandra & Paco have provided everything you will need, from an iron & ironing board to bathroom needs, extremely comfortable beach chairs, beach towels, DVD player, full kitchen etc. as well as suggested places to go to & eat at. I did not get the Paco tour which turned out to be a good thing as it made me do a lot of walking to familiarize myself with the Condado area. I would recommend Miso (opposite the Marriot) about a 15 minute walk to the west on Ashford - try the seafood paella; and Niche' in the Arcacia Inn just down the street towards the beach, great scallops and filet. There's one bedroom, but extra mattresses behind the headboard if additional people are with a couple, also the couch in the living room converts to a bed. Here's what a sweetheart Alex is - I spent 3 days at this condo then headed to Rio Grande for 2 nights (rainforest) - I had almost a day to kill on the return trip to the airport and I e-mailed her and asked if I could use the parking space at the condo for some beach time if the condo wasn't rented - she got back to me and said I could use the space and that she would meet me anywhere I wanted and let me use the condo to shower up after the beach - you cannot beat this type of generosity. My wife and I ended up shopping the day away and never took her up on her gracious offer. Couple other observations on my part - I would skip Bebo's and Yiyo's (next door) - their service is terrible. Our first 2 nights on the Island were spent on Shack's Beach outside of Isabela - very good snorkeling and much calmer surf than San Juan.

                Our stay at Alexandra's condo was just perfect. The location was a two minute walk straight to the beautiful beach, which was very safe, as well as a three block walk to what we found to be an Excellent Restaurant called "Bebo's". Being of Puerto Rican descent, we know Puerto Rican food and Bebo's is the place to eat. The casino's (Marriot's and La Concha) are a 15 minute drive, with traffic, and you should park in the parking lot above the street where there's a Fuddruckers Restaurant on Ashford Street. It's $5.00 to park in the evening and then walk to the many shops and restaurants along Ashford. If your renting a car, take the 50 or so minute drive to "El Guavate", where that small town offers great food and small stores to buy souveniors. Go during daytime and after eating, you can dance the pounds off as we did, in a dance area next to the food area. Condo was big enough for my wife and I and her parents, who got the bedroom, and the futon in livingroom was comfortable for my wife and I, after getting in from the nightlife. Try YiYo's for breakfast, which is just around corner from condo. I will be renting the apartment again later this year, so make your reservations soon. Alexandra, thank you and we will be seeing you again soon...Anthony & Dolores/Cape Coral Florida.

              Owner info

              Year Purchased: 2004

              About the owner: 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 at 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.
