Beautiful views! It was amazing to wake up to such a beautiful beach and ocean view! Very close walking distance to food and drinks as well!!

Fantastic stay! The unit itself is great. As others have noted the check-in process can be a little bumpy, but it is a residential apartment, not a hotel, so it’s understandable.
4.8
Our stay was amazing. The unit is extremely nice with a beautiful view. The building is very secure. The beach just outside the property was perfect, but it was also a very convenient home base for enjoying other areas of the island (El Yunque, Luquillo, Fajardo for a trip to Culebra, Old San Juan, etc). The property manager was very responsive and accommodating. Check-in is a little clunky if you have a rental car as I think other reviews have mentioned, but the instructions are clear and its over in a few minutes and you get to enjoy this beautiful spot

Was the most amazing location in the heart of. San Juan and only 5-mins for the airport…
My family loved the view and easy access to beach and pool.
We love how safe it was

The property is not cleaned properly. Kitchen was dirty & old. One of the doors under the kitchen was falling apart. None of the appliances or kitchen utensils were clean. The bathrooms are renovated but tiny. The shower glass separator does not contain the water & the water gets on the bathroom floor. The vents for the HVAC is weirdly connected in such a way that you get all the smells from other apartments into 1806.

Perfect location. Fabulous view. Lots of room to unpack and relax. There were three of us so really appreciated having two key fobs so we could go in and out independently

My wife and I along with our daughter and a friend, stayed for 2 weeks. The pool and beach were easily accessible and the view from our balcony was awesome. We were short washcloths and the microwave did not work. I contacted Val, the manager and she had more washcloths and a replacement microwave the next day. Fantastic response. Many bars and restaurants within walking distance.

The view and access to the Beach and a very nice pool is as advertised. In addition, Val was very responsive and quickly fixed any problem we reported. The unit was disappointing in a few respects.
1. The check- procedure was a little crazy. The problem is easily solved with a $10 lock box, Within minutes of arriving we were locked in the unit because the lock was in disrepair. This was quickly fixed,
2. The building is very run-down and poorly maintained. While the unit itself is bright and cheerful with that great view, the hallways and common areas were a little depressing. Also the elevators were very unreliable. We were on the 18th so we depended on the four elevators. One elevator was out of commission during our entire two-week stay. Another elevator was in disrepair so often, we were afraid to use it. If you wanted to leave the building between 8:00 and 9:00 am, you could wait for an elevator 10 minutes or more.
3. The unit itself was fine for our needs but also had several problems. The balcony overlooking the beach was wonderful and well shaded, but the table wobbled.
The micro-wave did not work, although we did not ask to have it fixed because we did not want to deal with someone coming into the unit.There was no dishwasher. A lot of the furniture was rusted, the front door was rusted and had holes and the paint job was in bad shape, giving the unit a feeling of neglect. The shower in one of bathrooms was so clogged my husband cleaned it out.

My family spent 6 night at this amazing location with a beautiful beach. Everything available within walking distance.
Our check in was easy although we had a little the keys and water flow in one of the bathrooms. Val resolved both issues in a timely manner.
Thank you!

Great location and great view. Despite VRBO portal being down during our stay, Val communicated wonderfully and was speedy at accommodating our requests. Even agreed to reimburse for some items that were not available in the rental. Would stay again!

Our family enjoyed our beach time and this property had all of the necessities. Short Uber ride from/to airport and great location to relax and enjoy the sand, sun and ocean. Everyone in the building was friendly. Basketball court only has 1 rim and needs nets.
4.8
The condo/apartment is in a very nice location and within close walking distance to a lot of nice restaurants, bars, casinos, and grocery stores. The Marbella property is very nice and safe and the other people who were staying here were very polite. The beach was wonderful and not very crowded. The manager was very responsive and brought a new cooler to us when we told her the cooler that was supposed to be at the condo was missing. The only negative I could think of was we prepared quite a few meals in the condo and it would be nice if there were a few more pots, pans, and cooking bowls to use, but we made it work. Overall, I would definitely stay at this condo again as we had a fantastic stay.

My fiancé and 2 other friends stayed at this beautiful condo for 6 nights. Best time we had! very comfortable, clean, beautiful condo with a beach we had access too. Also close to everything nearby!

The Condo was beautiful and Val was a great host. She replied immediately when I had questions and was very helpful. I would definitely stay there again!
4.8
Great time with my Son, his lady and my Maria. Great location. Great apartment. We had amazing weather. Annie and Val responded and solved all issues( just 2) in a timely manner. I miss those amazing sunsets from the patio. Amazing views.
4.8
Beautiful property. It’s right in the heart of Isla Verde and has direct private entrance to the beach.
4.8
The property was amazing in addition to the view. Annie’s response time was amazing no mater how late it was. We had everything that we needed right on the property to enjoy the beach. I recommend this property to anyone that is vacationing in Puerto Rico. We look forward in visiting the property and Puerto Rico again!

As soon as you walk in your greeted with the gorgeous view, I would sit every morning on the balcony just to see the sunrise and everyday it was beautiful. The condo is beautiful the amenities were amazing my kids had a great time both on the beach and the pool. The security was great we felt safe knowing there was security 24/7. We be coming back for Christmas.
4.8
Location and beach were perfect. The pictures of the apartment are true but add in layers of dust and the bathroom ceilings are full of mold that was painted over. I wouldn’t comment normally but this was pricey compared to others of like size.
4.8
We had a great time. the view is amazing. you don't have to go any further than your balcony to get amazing pics of sunset AND sunrises. great beach and huge pool.
4.8
First off all this property is absolutely beautiful. The view is simply stunning. Waking up each morning and seeing the ocean from the bedroom windows is a plus. Check in is a little clunky but once you see the view it’s worth it. This place is very secure and we never felt unsafe. Has a huge pool that hardly had anyone use it because the feet it’s steps away. The property has 4 elevators and we never had to wait more than a minute. Parking spot is conveniently located in garage close to elevator. Plenty of restaurants within walk-in distance. Walgreens across the street. You can’t go wrong with this condo. We’re already looking at going back.
4.8
We had a great stay in PR, we celebrated my sisters birthday in La Placita, really nice place , good restaurants and nice atmosphere. Uber services was excellent. Food was good , Beach of isla verde was beautiful, luquillo beach was also beautiful, little far , expensive ride , and lots of traffic but it was worth it. Loved it here , will definitely recommend it.

This was my family’s first trip to Puerto Rico and it will not be our last and yes we will look for this host specifically. Magnificent location and spectacular condo. See you in 6 months!!!

Nice property and beautiful beach!

My daughter-in-law and I had a wonderful week in this condo in Isla Verde. The view from the balcony is stunning. The ocean breeze keeps the condo very cool...we didn't need the air conditioner! Both Annie and Val were incredibly helpful when we had an issue with my daughter -in-law's medication. They were very responsive to all our texts. We would highly recommend a stay here.
4.8
The condo is lovely with breathtaking views and wonderful breezes. The building has a great deal of security measures that insure safety. The area offers lots of things to do and restaurants to choose from. We have stayed in these Marbella condos every February for over 25 years so we are very familiar with it. My only suggestion for the management would be to consider a keyless entry into the condo itself. Sometimes it is difficult to manage two sets of keys with four active adults. But overall, a great week!
4.8
Walking distance to restaurants and stores! Right on the beach and the property was very secure! Very nice and highly recommend! Will definitely stay here again!

My friends and I spent two delightful weeks in this San Juan condo - it was a great tropical getaway with so much to enjoy.
We found its location to be perfect: walking distance to stores and restaurants (we especially liked Playa Papaya, Entrevinos and El Alambique), a short, inexpensive Uber ride away from the attractions of Old San Juan and, best of all, situated on a spacious, beautiful palm-lined beach with convenient lounge chair rentals. We thought the condo building was well cared for -- the pool is large, clean and never crowded or noisy when we wre there, the public areas are nice, the security folks were reassuring and helpful. Some reviewers have mentioned problems with noise - we didn't expeience that. Our unit itself was comfortable and full of sunlight and cool breezes. We never had to turn on the airconditioning. The living space was roomy and nicely decorated in tropical colors, but could have used more comfortable seating options. We especially loved the balcony overlooking the Isla Verde beach - morning coffee, evening glases of wine, a constant attraction! Both bedrooms were spacious with lots of storage (the beds, however, were not as comfortable as we'd hoped). There were plenty of thick bath towels in the remodeled bathrooms and a good supply of beach towels. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was especially helpful for us - used often. The kitchen was rather small (as other reviewers have noted) but adequate for our needs: coffee maker, microwave, toastes, all working fine. Both the owner and the property manager were helpful and responsive. My questions pre-arrival were answered promptly - and when we had a small emergency involving the front door, Val the property manager was easy to reach. She solved the problem for us quickly and well. We didn't want to leave! We felt sad to lock the door for the final time and head back to cold Illinois. But our two weeks at this beachside condo provided with memories we will cherish all year long.

Wonderful spot.
4.8
Overall, this condo was a good space for 3 people. I don't think 7 people would be comfortable here, even though the listing allows it. We arrived about 30 minutes before check-in time and were allowed to go in. That was appreciated!
The kitchen is TINY with almost no counter space. We only cooked breakfast once, so it wasn't a big issue. If guests like to cook in their condo, this would be difficult given the lack of space.
We could not get the TV to work for our stay. I messaged Annie and Val. They were both responsive to my message, and said it was an area outage that should be resolved shortly. I was also told that a service call would be made the next day. I don't think that happened, since we were never able to use the TVs. Thankfully we had our Mac along and made do.
The living room furnishings could use updating. The couch was uncomfortable, the metal chairs were rusting and the plastic chair furniture is not suitable for relaxation.
The bedrooms were generous in size and both offered views of the gorgeous ocean! The bathrooms were modern and we had plenty of hot water.
The building has multiple security measures in place for entering and exiting both the beach and the street side. I've never encountered this at any other property before. I was wondering if the area was safe...but I didn't feel unsafe while visiting. We also never stayed out past 10pm, so there were still other people outside.
The complex has a quiet time posted after 10pm, which we appreciate as non-party early risers. However, the road noise can still be heard from inside the condo. Cars playing extremely loud music drove past at all hours of the night. Just something light sleepers or guests with small children may want to be aware of.
We did not rent a car for our stay. If you are mainly in the Isla Verde, San Juan, Old San Juan and Coronado areas it isn't necessary. Ubers are widely available. We did a day trip to El Yunque and used a tour service for that. El Yunque was the absolute highlight of our trip!!!

Not what I expected
The only beauty of this apartment was the view…absolutely beautiful but the apartment itself was not. The bed was up on cinder blocks, the mattress was hard, the a/c leaked, the water always came out of the shower onto the floor no matter how you turned the shower head. We constantly had to be drying the floor. The oven was disgustingly dirty. The a/c made so much noise. The access to the building was overwhelming. The place needs a total makeover. For the money we paid it was not worth it. Not happy 😡

Beautiful area
Everything was great. The place was cozy and neighborhood beautiful.
4.8
The view from the balcony overlooking the beach is picture perfect. Morning coffee in the balcony is thoroughly relaxing. The property and the location are good with all the modern conveniences one can ask for in the condo and nearby. Lots of security and underground parking are nice. Easy access to the beautiful Isla Verde beach is the selling point. The kitchen and bathrooms are a little cramped. The open showers can make for a wet floor but manageable.

Isla Verde Condo - Family Vacation
Building Manager, Val very helpful & Responsive. Owner Annie - very helpful - sent information regarding stay in Puerto Rico and suggestions of things to do & tips. Condo was clean & comfortable. View is amazing! Condo could use some furniture updating. I would rent condo again if we decide to visit Puerto Rico. Definitely 4.5 stars

Anne was great, the property is very safe and secure! You are right on the beach in walking distance to great food and groceries. We did not rent a car because you don’t need one here. You can Uber anywhere and it’s a short trip to the airport!
