About this property
Gorgeous Beachfront Studio in Playa Azul I
Gorgeous apartment located on an upper floor of Playa Azul I, a 22-story beachfront condominium located in sunny Luquillo, Puerto Rico. Featuring an 18-foot wall of louvered glass spanning its width, our spacious 523 square foot studio frames a stunning panoramic view of the Atlantic and is cooled by refreshing ocean breezes.
The apartment is smoke-free and impeccably maintained. The studio features high-quality appliances (including Bosch washer and dryer), furniture, and fixtures. Ceiling and standing fans, combined with a cross draft, provide cooling comfort (there is no air conditioning).
Sleeping accommodations were upgraded in January 2026 to include a queen Zinus 12-inch Green Tea Essential memory foam mattress, a full 9-inch futon mattress, comfy memory foam toppers, and Lacoste 100% cotton bed linens.
If you are traveling with friends and/or extended family and need more than one booking, we also own and rent the neighboring studio (listing #204353).
Playa Azul is a gated complex that is steps away from beautiful Playa Azul beach. Inside the complex you will find tennis and basketball courts, a pool, play equipment for kids, and a clubhouse. A grocery store, drug store, gas station, bank ATM, and several restaurants are all within walking distance.
The condominium's location in Luquillo is ideal for exploring the eastern part of Puerto Rico. The El Yunque National rainforest is just a few minutes West on Route 3, and Fajardo, with its bioluminescent bay and ferries to the islands Culebra and Vieques, is a few miles east. Shopping in old San Juan and at the outlets is a modest 20–40 minutes drive. Several championship golf courses are located at nearby resorts within 10 miles.

A great location, able to walk to many destinations including the kiosks with many dining options Condo has a great view and includes everything you need Stayed 10 days would definitely return Sandra would respond within minutes for tips and community info
Beautiful studio apartment overlooking Playa Azul. Great swimming, surfing, dining. Friendly people, close to airport. Loved our visit to PR. Highly recommend this property!
Sandra was an attentive host from the beginning. She was quick to respond to questions and very pleasant to communicate with. The condo was clean and welcoming. It was the perfect home base for our stay...even when the weather outside put a damper on our plans. I would recommend this condo to anyone...you won't be disappointed!

Thank you Michele!
We are so fortunate to host such thoughtful and kind people. I am glad that you had a great stay despite the weather. Hope to see you again next Winter!
Cheers, Sandra
Love this location as rent a car and most things want to see or do are close by. Or just lie on the beach, cook your own food from nearby grocery store and relax. Beach towels, chairs, and washer and dryer make it all very easy.
Beautiful place! The owner was very helpful and responsive. The studio was one of the best stocked places I've ever stayed at. The view from the balcony was beautiful. The beach is right there, and is super sandy. I'll definitely be back
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay! Sandra was kind and responsive. Everything you need for the direct beach access is provided. Kitchen is well stocked and there is good water pressure. The view is breathtaking. Beautiful place
This place was perfect. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and wanted to stay at the beach for my visit. Fantastic view. Very clean. Sandra was the best host you can hope for.
This was my best vacation ever! This property is in pristine condition and the view is unbelievable! The pictures do not do it justice. The host was so sweet and communicative and even let us check out a little later on our last day. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you!!
The studio was absolutely beautiful, everything you need is there.
Sandra the host was great, she keeps you informed on what you need to know, made the trip very easy.
The view from the balcony is breathtaking and the view from the front door you good see the rain forest.
The studio is well maintained and very clean
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was at the perfect location which gave us easy access to El Yunque and Fajardo where we had planned several activities. There were a lot of places to eat nearby and there was even a super market across the highway were we picked up some supplies. It was very easy to get to the apartment from the airport . There was a wonderful breeze every night which made it very easy to fall asleep along with the sound of the waves crashing against the shore .
The apartment was very clean and comfortable. You can tell the owners take pride in their place .
We look forward to staying there again in the future .
Thank you ,
Roberto and Elizabeth
I "rented" this apartment for five months through the late spring - summer of 2021, and every day was a dream. The property owners Sandra and Vasilios are super kind and checked in to make sure everything was ok throughout my time here. The apartment is clean and bright and surprisingly quiet for an apartment complex. Though it is a studio, the wall of windows makes the space feel massive, there is tons of storage space, and the outdoor balcony area is much larger than it looks in pictures, giving you a lot more space there as well. The view is unreal, unlike any apartment I've ever rented before, and just stunning every hour of the day. Cannot recommend this apartment (or Sandra's and Vasilios's other property right nextdoor) highly enough; already looking forward to my next stay here.

Thank you Alyssa for taking the time to write such a generous review. It is very rewarding to know that you enjoyed your stay, given that Vasilios and I put a lot of TLC into renovating the apartment. You were a wonderful guest to have—kind and generous in every way, and you took such great care of our place. We look forward to welcoming you back!
It was a great location and definitely as lovely as advertised, clear instructions for check in and check out and great communication as well with owner! Would rent again.

Great place, responsive owners
This is a beautiful apartment in a perfect location. The owners are extremely contentious.

Hello Gary,
I thank you for your review. I believe based on our recent email that you had meant to write that we are very conscientious.
Per your email below.
"Everything worked like clockwork and your condo was exactly what we wanted, as you'll see from our review. Thanks for a wonderful time. "

Clean and cozy
We came here for the second half of our honeymoon. We liked that it had a well working washer/dryer. The full bed wasn't very comfortable, but it didn't impede our sleep. The kitchen was stocked with high quality utensils for whatever you may need for basic cooking. The beach was pretty nice and easy to access. The best part was the balcony and eating meals out there on the little table. During the day we were able to have the windows open and feel the AMAZING BREEZE! The worst part was that at night, the amazing windows had to be closed while the lights were on (so no more ocean breeze inside) because the bugs would swarm in to fly by the lights. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would easily return and rent this place again!!!!
