Amazing balcony with an amazing ocean view. The building is okay, the elevator makes me nervous but the unit is on the second floor. Overall I'm extremely pleased with the apartment,how it was safe, and I hope to be able to come back. I had no issues with water or electricity. The apartment has all the amenities listed. A swimmable Beach is just around the corner because the beach right in front isn't exactly easily accessible.

Absolutely Amazing!

I stayed 3 nights in this beautiful location. The view was the first thing we saw when we walked in, and it was amazing. It's close to everything. We didn't even need a car. I would definitely stay here again. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. If you're looking for a fancy, brand new building to stay in, this is probably not the rental for you. But we chose to stay here because it was right on the beach, and that part exceeded our expectations. There's no feeling like waking up to the view of the turquoise ocean right outside your window. We ate breakfast on the balcony with the gorgeous view of the ocean and walked down to the beach every day. Eraclio has beach chairs and towels too. Old San Juan was a 15-20 minute drive and El Yunque was about 30 minutes driving. That being said, the building itself is older. The elevator is definitely in need of some updating (pro tip: there is a staircase around the building - look for a white door), and because you need the key to get out as well as in, if you and your travel buddy split up, someone has to sort of get locked inside because you need the key to leave, which can bring up safety concerns. But if you okay with that, you will love this stay and being right on the beach!

The ocean view from this property is outstanding. The bed is comfortable. Plenty of hot water in the shower. Kitchen appliances and cookware were adequate, although we did not use the kitchen much. The gate to the beach is blocked off but there is beach access right next door to the property. I would rent this unit again simply for the beach view as it was so outstanding

Great Location with a Great View

First this was a great location. The condo was clean, comfortable with good AC, hot water, and beautiful view. There were towels but not wash cloths. They had pots and pans but need to be updated. They are in pretty bad shape if you want to do any cooking. Its a one bed condo but they have a sleeper sofa and plenty of room for four (4) adults easily. Communication with the host was great. They are quick to answer any questions. The check in and out process went very well and the photos they shared helped understand the locks for the property. TV’s had all the streaming services and the Wifi worked without any problems. The parking was the biggest issue for us. I tried for over 30 mins to find a place to park near the condo but ended up 3 blocks over. There was plenty of parking on the property but that does not come with the rental. We knew parking was not included but did not anticipate the logistical nightmare.

This is my second stay at this property and not my last. Safe location for parking and staying. Balcony with table and chairs right on the beautiful beach. Easy walking access to nearby stores and restaurants. Complete beach access. Condo also provides towels, chairs, and umbrella. Should you decide to cook in all equipment is in the kitchen provided to you. I’ll be back next year.
