My son and I visited San Juan while on a cruise once but we did not get to explore anywhere else so we wanted to come back. I really wanted to stay in nature rather than the city and this was our Christmas. My roommate came with us and we had a great time. Your place was perfect for us and I loved the roof top terrace and was able to watch the meteor shower. Thank you so much for the nice place to stay.
We arrived at night, which made it difficult to locate the property. The street noise was significant from cars/motorcycles, people yelling and dogs (lots of dogs) barking at all hours of the night. We used a white noise app from our phone to help drown out the noise, which helped. The property itself is very nice, grounds well kept with a guard at the gate that would also walk the property. Good household items available with grocery & restaurants close by. Access to the beach was nice and clean. The key box worked but was difficult to get into since you need to push down on a lever while trying to also pull open. Females that have nails will struggle with this ? Carlos was great to communicate with & responded in a timely manner. Over all I would recommend this property, just making aware of the street noise.
We are a family of 4 with teenagers that travels to PR every other year as we have family that live on the island. Apartment is super clean and comfortable, beautifully decorated and extremely well stocked! Beach is clean, great for swimming and we had the beach to ourselves nearly every time we went down. Local restaurants had great, authentic food! Our only complaint was the noise and it was so profound that I have to give four stars. The master bedroom windows face the road and the windows do nothing to block out the noise. Although the apartment is on the 3rd floor, it sounds like the road is right outside your window. The nighttime traffic is expected in PR with the music and it usually stops by 10-11:00. The road outside the apartment is well traveled. The dogs, however, are a different story. We are unsure if they are wild dogs or belong to the owner across the street but every single night these dogs would start barking at 3:30 am and it would continue off and all until 6:00 am. Although we loved the apartment and the location, we were exhausted from poor sleep. This of course is not in the owner’s control and there’s very little anyone can do to remedy the problem other than wear ear plugs?
Carlos was very responsive and provided detailed info about the home and things to do while in PR. the home was very clean. Easy to get into and out of the property. The home had plenty of items (possibly left behind from other renters) tanning lotion, bags, water shoes, first aid kits. It was great!!! Thank you Carlos for listing your home. We had a great time in PR and enjoyed our stay.
We stayed for a week and it was a good stay. The home was well stocked close to the town and the beach was nice. The bed were comfy. It was perfect.
Layout & space was good for our group of 5 adults. Very busy street right outside of bedroom windows which is very loud. Not much to do close by, definitely need a car to move around. Neighbourhood dogs are very noisy and constantly barking. Wouldn't recommend walking outside of complex, our friend went for a run and had a dog come through a fence a bite him. Had to make an emergency clinic visit for stitches & tetanus shot. Unit is in desperate need of a good deep clean, especially the kitchen. Dirty dishes in the cupboards, ants on countertops, everything (even in cupboards & drawers) had a greasy film. We had to wash everything prior to using. Beds sheets were covered in stains/spots and we couldn't tell if the towels in the linen closet were clean or dirty, some were folded, some were half folded/rolled. We found a towel draped over an ironing board in the closet which we're assuming was from a previous guest. Rooftop deck is very large but not really usable. Too hot during the day and pitch black at night. One exterior light but it didn't work We made the most of our time here and really enjoyed the beach but wouldn't book to stay here again
Had a great time, enjoyed the beach access and balcony
Second stay here. Very clean. Immediately responsive to any issues. Will be back.
It was excellent, but nature was against us. I would recommend it for another season when you can enjoy the sunny beach. Thank you, Carlos, for your availability and your well organized, clean and comfortable apartment.
The room was nicely stocked amd had everything we needed & more! It could use some minor updating. The complex was quiet & felt very safe. The beach under the large shade tree was absolutely fantastic!! We had the beach mostly to ourselves all week. No crowds and felt secluded. The road outside the complex was loud at times throughout the night with passerbys. No fault of the owner. All in all it was a very relaxing vacation with the perfect beach for our family.
This place was a hidden Gem. We really enjoyed the place. The manager always answered promptly and the security guards are very friendly.
We enjoyed our stay here. The views can’t be beat. The neighborhood was loud however, especially road noise all through the night including extremely loud music. Roosters could be heard all through the day, which was actually very endearing. It was nice to have an ice maker and washer/dryer and the kitchen had all the basics you could need. It seems maybe someone uses this as their personal vacation home and rents it too. It has sort of a catch all feel with mismatched towels and dishes, various mismatched hygiene items and food products. The beds were comfortable and even with the road noise we all slept well. The showers were a a bit of a stressor, because the coating was flaking off and it was sharp and kept clogging the drain. We had to go get drano and had to shower in a couple inches of water most of the time. The malecon restaurants were only a short walk away but because of traffic and the lack of sidewalks we didn’t feel safe when we tried to walk. We mostly drove to other locations for food and supplies instead (about 20 minutes). Televisions were very hard to use so we didn’t use them much. Air conditioning worked well. The gate attendants were friendly and it felt safe inside the condo community. It was hard though to have only one key to get in and out of the rental and the pool/beach. We had several adults and had to all stay together to get in and out each time, meaning no one could be at the beach if others were at the pool., for example. It would be a good idea to have more kegs or a keypad entry. Another recommendation would be to cover part of the upstairs rooftop because the sun made it pretty unusable, also to add a grill would be nice. More comfortable furniture on the balcony would also be nice because that is the real gem of this rental. The beach was also a gem, as it was so private with only a couple handfuls of people at a time. The water was great for swimming and there was plenty of shade. There were also plenty of iguanas and coconuts. Overall it was a great time and there were many benefits.
