Really appreciated the fact that this space had multiple beach shares and beach towels available for us to use. Also loved having a washer and dryer. The beach is just a short walk away, and the property is near many good restaurants. Definitely don’t miss Richie’s.

This place was wonderful! A perfect place to take a break from a busy life. The beach is right there, and the place is exactly as the pictures describe. The communication was also fantastic, and checking in and out was really easy.

My family really enjoyed our stay here. There were two rooms with comfortable beds and nice sheets and pillows. There were also two nice bathrooms which was great. One of the best features was a nice washer/dryer set, so we could do some laundry. That allowed us to pack light and reused our clothes. The full sized kitchen was very nice. Everything was very pleasant and clean. The beach is right across from the back entrance with a sliding glass door looking out on a volleyball court and past it the beach. The exit to the beach was super close has two foot wash/shower stations for cleaning off sand. The condo had a few beach chairs and beach towels were provided. There are a number of good restaurants nearby and Luquillo is a short drive away, Two parking spaces are included, though we just needed one. The only hiccup we experienced was having to wait a few minutes at the entrance for the security guard when we first arrive as he was busy doing something else at the time. Once we got in, we had a remote for the gate so it wasn't an issue again. Definitely recommend!

This is a great place and a quiet location just steps to the beach. We let the property manager know there may be a slow water leak near the stove (water on floor a few times) and possible problem with the water affecting one of the kitchen cabinets. The beach was right out the door and the development was really nice. Great location!
5.0
This beachfront condo was a perfect place to spend a few days. The inside was well set up, with plenty of space, nicely decorated and very clean. And you can't beat walking about 50 feet out of the door and being directly on the beach. The water was perfect and we swam every day. Having the option of the pool is nice too. Very close to the rainforest if you plan to take advantage of the activities there.
5.0
Great Location basically right on the beach and a ground floor unit. It's clean and a tv in every room which is nice. Only downside is no dishwasher and it has a small water heater so hot water runs out is everyone is taking a shower around the same time.
5.0
Loved the location and no stairs. Kitchen was a bit sketchy: to wit, dish drainer, cheap dull knives, pots and pans, etc.
windows don’t work. No hooks in bedroom # 2.
Poor drainage outside of sliding door.
TV is too big for room!
Overall, we liked it, but it does have these issues.

This was an awesome place for our family of four to call home for a few days. The communication was EXCELLENT. The representative checked in enough, but not too much. The place was clean and stocked with a few things to get you started, like a small bag of coffee, paper towel, etc. It also had some beach chairs, beach towels, a volleyball and a cooler which was awesome. It is located in a gated complex. We felt super safe the whole time. The ocean, pool, volleyball court and playground were fun activities to come home to after exploring. El Yunque is only about 15 minute drive away! It was also stocked with bug spray which was key as the bugs were bad at dusk! The beds were super comfortable. Keep in mind that it is not a new apartment, but it is semi-updated and clean.
Suggestions:
1. Label the door with the apartment number. We weren’t if we were in the right place at first.
2. Add boogie boards and sand toys. :)

We stayed for a few days to explore beaches and Yunque forest. It was really close to a restaurant and convenience store off main route. Great communication with host. Beach chairs and towels provided were helpful. We enjoyed our stay with our family. You can hear the waves at night and relax! Gated community and safe for children.
