LOCATION
A Drop of The Sea is located at Fortuna Beach in Luquillo, PR. Luquillo 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 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! There is a sandy beach 5 minute walking distance from the apartment.
Lunch or dinner at Los Kioskos de Luquillo. There are over 25 restaurants in 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. A Drop of The Sea is a 45 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There's 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 tickets or smaller boats you can rent out for private trips with a captain.
GETTING AROUND:
Renting a car is a must when staying in Luquillo. There are many activities within 15 minutes of driving distance, and the roads are easy to navigate. The villa includes 1 parking spot.

We would definitely stay here again. Ariana was very communicative. The pictures match it well. Place was very clean and functional and beds and couch were comfortable. Patio has new furniture that is better than what is pictured. It had a few little things that were outdated or didn’t work perfectly but it wasn’t a problem at all. One set of keys was missing which made it tricky for our group but hopefully they have another set available for the next renter. It’s not a resort; neighborhood was authentic which we loved. While you can’t walk out the front door to the beach it’s an easy half-block walk to a very peaceful private beach where you can walk a few minutes to a beach bar for a Pima colada and snack.
4.8
The property itself it’s fine. Next to it there’s 2 destroy buildings you can’t get to the beach there’s no path to the beach
4.8
The property is in the best location. Mountain ones side beaches on other's side .close walk to liquillo Beach. Safe and quiet neighborhood. Will stays again
4.8
This was a very convenient place located within walking distance of a private beach with nice waves. It's in a residential neighborhood and had everything we needed. Laundry was excellent. Very quiet.
4.8
The condo was great inside, all the amenities we needed. The porch furniture was smaller than in the picture but we made do with the beach chairs for our family of 4. The neighborhood behind the condo is very run down. People were friendly. Lots of dogs roaming around that are very friendly, we gave them water and our left overs. The ocean view and sounds were amazing. Short walk to the beach. The bakery close by was excellent. Communication with host was excellent. Enjoyed our stay very much

Near everything we wanted to do, beaches el yunque, snorkeling etc

We enjoyed our stay in Luquillo. The apartment was simple with comfortable beds and suited our needs for the 3 of us (parents and teenaged daughter) - lovely to see and hear the waves! There were a few issues with the water heater and dryer but the property manager quickly addressed with no inconvenience to us. The location is very close to great places like Luquillo beach and kiosks and El Yunque but it is located in a very residential neighborhood that we didn't feel comfortable walking in. All in all a good place to stay if you are exploring from a local's perspective, and we would recommend for those looking for something different than a resort experience.
4.8
Biggest complaint was the paragraphs of directions I had to read and decipher, only to find out they are inaccurate (after calling). Wife and kids spent 15 minutes in the car while I tried to figure it all out. Aside from that, place is as described and area is beautiful.
4.8
Great place to stay, love the tide against the wall. Close to everything. We'll definitely be back!
4.8
We were very disappointed in the property. Lights,clock et not working. Dryer had no heat. Needed cl among and a fresh coat of paint. Deck furniture was so rusty you could not sit on it. It would stain your clothes. Fun time but property was disappointing.
4.8
We loved this place - it had great proximity to the things we wanted to do (beach, food kiosks, rainforest, bio bay kayaking, etc) and was perfect for a family of 4. The property was clean and had a wonderful view of the ocean. There is a semi-hidden beach less than a few minutes walk from the apartment that we took advantage of several times during our stay - we only saw a handful of people on it each time we went there. We also appreciated that they provided some beach toys for the kids (boogie board, sand toys, etc) - that was a nice touch. Highly recommended.
4.8
We really loved being so close to the water. It was very windy and a bit rainy during our stay, so the waves were very high. You could hear them clearly all day and night, which we found to be peaceful and soothing despite the weather, but I suppose someone else may not have liked it as much, since the waves also splash against the edge of the property and you may get splashed on the back porch. We loved having laundry access, Ariana was a great communicator, and the kitchen and TV were easy to use. The proximity to the water made the unit’s interior smell a little damp when we arrived but it wore off over the course of our stay. It’s not fancy, but it’s a great spot for anyone wanting to feel one with the ocean. Up the street, you can find a little lagoon and beach access. We would happily return!
4.8
Great view and short walk to two beaches. Plenty of room and all the toys you need for the beach.
4.8
If you want to stay in this area than this would be a great choice. 1st floor with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Our kids really enjoyed staying there. Beaches and plenty of activities are close by.

This was our first trip back to Puerto Rico in many years since my father passed 2 years ago
We enjoyed the sound of the ocean and the sunrise from the balcony
Location is pretty close to everything
The surrounding area is not to impressing however the neighbors are respectful, friendly and area is very quiet
My husband, mom and myself had a relaxing and enjoyable time
4.8
We throughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here with our family. The location is great for visiting El Yunque. The area is safe. The place itself was perfect. No comaints at all. We would definitely come back here again!
4.8
The unit was quiet and the folks living there were super nice. Beach access was just few steps away and it was a launching point for us each day. We were only 21 miles from San Juan 40 minutes. Traffic in the city was crazy. Nice food spots we cooked for the most part only did dinner out. All the conveniences of city living but less hassle with getting around. The unit we had was just what we needed. It is not a luxury kinda place but it was so cute and nice. We only really slept there and gone for most of the day. We will be back thanks to Melanie our host!
4.8
Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property. We enjoyed it very much.
4.8
Very nice property with all your beach necessities. We loved being down the street from all the restaurants and bars. We spent a couple days going to San Juan, which was not to far at all. The waves crashing at our door was absolutely gorgeous. My only complaint was that the time flew by way to fast. Thank you for a perfect stay.
4.8
We decided to come to Puerto Rico for Christmas. Private and I appreciated hearing the waves crash right outside our door every day! I felt safe and everything was clean and I had everything I needed! Thank you for the memories.
