This was our third visit to PR, and also our third time staying in this apartment. Our older children even called it our “Puerto Rico house” when they were young because they felt so at home there. During our various stays we have had both Ana and Isabel as hosts at various times, and they are both kind and wonderfully helpful. During this trip Ana was our host, and she anticipated our needs before we had them. When the power went out briefly one day, she texted us about how to turn on the generator (we never needed it as we were out for the day in Old San Juan). When recent water rationing started for the area due to severe drought, she informed us that there was a cistern that would get us through if we were mindful about use. The location is fantastic—close to so many of the best restaurants in San Juan. Ocean Park and the surrounding neighborhoods are lovely, and vibrant. Loiza St. has so many gems. It’s a really special area! The Ocean Park beach is truly steps from the front door. It is a really beautiful beach, but parents of young children should be mindful of frequent rough waves and rip tides. Check the swim safe PR app for conditions. The Condado lagoon (both sides), and Boqueron Beach (our favorite in San Juan) are very close for those who need a more gentle beach experience or want to snorkel among schools of colorful fish). The house provides snorkeling gear, sand toys, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards, etc. making beach days easy to sort from day one.
