  We found this condo of Richelle & Alex's on our first trip to Puerto Rico. It was cheaper and far nicer than staying in a hotel, and our hosts were very friendly and extremely helpful.  Nutshell: Fully furnished, nice condo with parking, AC, balcony, and a real ocean view. A very nice beach is literally right next door. You'll need a car; 35 mins from San Juan but 15 mins from many attractions and great beaches. Great experience, hosts were warm and accomodating -- you'll enjoy your stay here. Quick relevant info about the condo: - It really does have a beach view. We had a balcony that looked out onto the ocean; albeit there was an open field for one block between us and the shore, but you have a wide vista of the ocean in front of you.  - The beach really is very close -- practically at your doorstep. It makes a difference when it's so close that you don't have to think twice about coming and going to the beach; places that advertise 3+ blocks aren't the same. - The beach isn't one of the well-known ones, which only means you'll have a fantastic beach to yourself. We found it very beautiful, with softer sand than at the famous Flamenco beach on nearby Culebra. Only beach I've ever been to that actually felt like walking on Tempur-Pedic foam. Yellowy/orange sand, no shells or rocks, and good surfing spot.  - You'll need a car to stay here. We had enterprise for $17/day. It's about 30-45 mins from San Juan. Just understand that this condo isn't in San Juan proper, which is probably why it's a bit cheaper, but we didn't come to a tropical island to spend our days in museums anyway.  - There's not much to do in Luquillo itself -- what it does have are fantastic beaches, the amazing tropical rainforest 15 mins away (takes 2 days to really see it all), and 15 mins to the south is the ferry to Vieques and Culebra. For many people, these things are what they're coming to Puerto Rico for, so the condo's in a great place.  - The condo is arranged as a suite of 3 or 4 rooms, each furnished better than a hotel room, with your own bathroom and everything you'd expect. It surprised us a little that it was a "suite", but all that really meant was we had a fully equipped, communal kitchen outside of our fully private little apartment.  - The area is safe.  - It does have parking. We'll definitely stay here again. Richelle especially was very available and accommodating, which gave our stay a personal touch that we enjoyed.

  We were delighted with our little "apartment" and actually changed other reservations to stay there again on our trip. Richelle and Alexander were wonderful hosts and did everything they could to make our stay fun and rewarding. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting a safe, clean and comfortable place to stay. Since we were visiting with friends in the area it was perfect for us. The restaurant right downstairs (owned by Alexander and Richelle) is terrific and we treated our future family to a wonderful meal there. We will be back when next we visit the island!

  I booked this charming unit with Ritchell (sorry if not spelled right). From the moment we walked in we loved it. It was spacious and clean. Unit included a small refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. We had access to the balcony which had views of both beach and town plaza. The owner's Mr. and Mrs. Guerra also own a restaurant located downstairs from the building called "Miramar Cafe". We loved the food and highly recommend it. The portions are quite big and the price is right. El Yunque was just a 15 minute drive. McDonalds, food supermarket and dozen of food kiosks are just minutes away and let's not forget the famous Luquillo Beach. All and more you can find within a short drive from this charming little place. I highly recommend it and I can't wait to come back again. I thank the owners for such warm welcoming.
