Cozy decor along with beautiful pop of colors throughout the studio gives it pop with personality and unique style. The studio features a perfectly designed kitchen and brand-new furnishings.

If you wish to divide the living room from the bedroom, guests have the option to close the area with a proper sliding door for privacy.
PACK AND PLAY (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY):
We can leave a complimentary Pack and Play at the property upon request. This should be requested upon booking or no later than 5 days before arrival. Pack and Plays are subject to availability.
KITCHEN
Blue Ocean Studio has a recently remodeled and fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen includes a fridge, freezer, microwave, stovetop, oven, coffee maker, and toaster. It has a convenient counter area with 2 additional counter stool seatings.
GETTING AROUND & PARKING
We strongly recommend renting a car, as there are a multitude of activities within a 15-30-minute drive that you will not want to miss out on. Also, Uber is not readily available in the area, which is why it's important to have your own means of transportation.
The villa includes one (1) unassigned parking spot.
LOCATION
Blue Ocean Studio is located in Luquillo Beach, Puerto Rico. Luquillo Beach is well known for its refreshing trade winds and large palm trees which provide plenty of shade. The location provides quick and easy access to some of the best beaches in Puerto Rico, El Yunque Rainforest, and the boat tours and water activities based out of Fajardo.
There are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:
Chill at the beach! It's one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you are staying at Blue Ocean Studio. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach.
Lunch or dinner at Los Kioskos de Luquillo. There are over 25 restaurants on the Caribbean beachfront restaurant strip. One of our favorites is "La Parrilla".
Take a surfing lesson right at La Pared Beach. There are multiple surf schools located on this beach and it is a 5-minute walk away from the apartment.
Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 10-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.
Spend a day in Old San Juan. Blue Ocean Villa is a 45 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There is a lot of history to be seen and great food and drinks to be had.
Charter a boat from Fajardo. There are many boats you can charter for day trips to neighboring islands and coral reefs. You can choose from large boats that sell by ticket or smaller boats you can rent out for private trips with a captain.
