The condo is on the ground level of the Isabela Beach Court complex. The complex is a gated complex with 24 hour security personnel. The complex has a swimming pool, a children's wading pool, fitness center, basketball court, tennis court, playground, and small soccer field. The grounds are kept immaculate. Just outside our patio gate are the swimming pools. The condo has a barbeque grill, 4 snorkeling sets, 4 tennis racquets, 4 boogie boards, a basketball, soccer ball, 2 lacrosse sticks and lacrosse balls, and 2 fishing poles. A paved running/bike path is just outside the entrance. The bike path will take you all the way to Jobos beach. To the right of the complex is a small plaza with kiosks, restaurants, a fish market, and a nightclub (open on weekends). Our condo is far enough away from the nightclub that the noise will not keep you awake at night. The louder noise is the noise of the high tide breaking right outside the master bedroom window. By car, the small town of Jobos is minutes away. There are some good breakfast restaurants in Jobos and Shacks beach (2 miles farther along past Jobos). The family really likes breakfast at TBC on Route 10 toward the Aguadilla airport. Just past Jobos beach on the way to Route 10 is a empanada shop that provides very tasty and very inexpensive empanadas. The shop is on the road between Jobos and Shacks beach. You can pick from the usual (beef and chicken) to the exotic (octopus), but they are all very good and very inexpensive. The fish market in Isabela is another favorite. You can purchase sea bass to grill back at the condo. The sea bass sell for $5/pound. The small town of Isabela, just up from the complex has banks, sandwich shops, ice cream shops, and a beautiful Catholic church. If you're interested, you can watch the local men play dominoes on the plaza just about every night. Wal Mart is further up from the town of Isabela toward Highway 2 which is the major thoroughfare to the western towns of Puerto Rico. If you need to go to Wal Mart, go early in the morning (except Sundays because they open late) or expect to wait in very long lines. The town of Isabela has two supermarkets. Econo is closer to the Complex, but more difficult to locate. Mr. Special is on one of the main roads into town.

Guajataca lake is a very beautiful mountain lake that is about 45 minutes from the condo. It is a beautiful drive through the dairy county of Puerto Rico. The town of Ponce is about 2.5 hours away, but is a beautiful drive through the coffee growing region of Puerto Rico. Ponce's plaza is a sight to see with the 'Leones de Ponce' (Lions of Ponce) decorated and the firefighter museum. El Yunque is the only tropical rain forest in the US Forest System. It is a sight to see, but is a full day trip from Isabela. There are some beautiful but easy hikes in El Yunque.
