About this apartment rental
No doubt about it, staying in the Isla Verde area of San Juan is the place to be! This is just not a rental property for me, it is my second home, and was my primary home for many years. Just knowing that after a day of travel, your vacation home destination is just less than ten minutes away, once you arrive at Puerto Rico's International airport in San Juan, takes the stress away. Rental amount is includes: No strict check-in or check-out times, as long as it is not before 7:30AM and not later than 7:30PM. The apartment is lovely! What is so unique is that it is on the third floor! The view of the ocean and beach are in perfect line to the living room and dinning room. This amazing view just flows right into the beautiful decor of your home away from home. There are oil paintings throughout. It is elegantly furnished, with Rattan furniture in the living room and dining area. Anyone who comes over, immediately falls in love with the place. Everyone who has stayed, always returns. I also have an amazing Apartment Manager, Alberto. He is there for whatever needs and questions you may have. There are Hunter ceilings fans throughout. Air conditioning in the bedrooms. The apartment has been freshly painted with rich and bright colors such as reds, greens, and yellows. The bathroom is a newly renovated all Italian marble walk-in shower spa. It is located in between both bedrooms. The toilet and shower area can be made separate to the powder room, for dual person access. Closing one of the doors from a bedroom, becomes private to the next if you so desire. There is a beautiful reading room in the lobby with beach views. Security, and Office Administration is also located in the lobby. Pool is located in the back of the building and is private to the guests at the Racquet Club.
There is a parking space available if you decide to rent a car. The car rental place I recommend is Charlie Car Rental, located just blocks away and open 24 hours, as well as a 24 hour Walgreens with a pharmacy and a CVS right up across the street on the corner. Chairs and Umbrellas can be rented right outside in front of the building. This vast beach strip that you will be residing at gives you the luxury of walking to restaurants, shopping, 5-Star Hotel and Casinos, and Live entertainment. Great Day and Night-Life always at your disposal. Washer and Dryers are located on every even numbered floor. Machine money cards are available in the lobby next to the Administrator's office. A new inverter has been added for the living room. Very quiet, and comfortable.

I did not like the area, the place from outside looks ghetto and not attractive. Inside the house did not look like the pictures. The place had a smell and there was cockroach on the ground. Rooms was kind of small. Better for small children no teens. Other than that the staff was nice.

This property is not just absolutely beautiful, location is PERFECT. The host was very informative and her contact Alberto was the best too. I can’t wait to come back and this will be my first choice of where to stay. Thank you Yvonne!

We went to PR for 4 nights with our teenage grandson and Yvonne’s condo was perfect for us. We needed 2 bedrooms and oceanfront. The condo was extremely clean and felt very safe. It was a convenient location for our visit to the rainforest and to Old San Juan. The Kumo rooftop restaurant was delicious for dinner one night and the Ocean Breeze beach bar (2 buildings down at the Royal Sonesta) was a great choice for lunches walkable by beach. Would definitely stay here again. Also, we were allowed to stay the whole day of departure because we had a 9pm flight which was extremely convenient.

This place is exactly as described. It is in the perfect location to do anything in the San Juan metropolitan area. Beach is right across the street along with easy access to bar/restaurant on the street level. The parking spot was a no brainer for us since we always rent a car when in PR. We had 4 fabulous days here and can’t wait to come back. Thanks for having us.

We loved everything about our stay. The condo has a big sliding door window facing the beach. We had a great experience working with Yvonne and loved Isla Verde. Easy access to the airport and San Juan.

Great stay. Great view. The ocean was the condo's backyard. Yvonne was very communicative throughout the entire process. The condo was clean and very well stocked with all the essentials. The downstairs restaurant was an added bonus. Great menu and happy hour drinks. Our daughter ate their waffles every single day. Would stay again!

The Tropical Jewel was perfect for our 10-day stay in Puerto Rico. It was my husband, my brother and myself and the apartment was perfect and just the right size. It was stocked with anything you could need in the kitchen and also had beach towels and beach chairs we could use.
The view from the living room was amazing and when we were in the apartment, that is where we sat, looking out at the water. Being on the 3rd floor made it was such an easy walk to the beach and also to many restaurants, bars, and a grocery store as well as a couple of casinos (if you're into that). And there are a couple car rental places close by which made it easy to rent a car for a few days while we were there.
The owner was so responsive as was Alberto, the property manager. We would highly recommend renting this wonderful apartment!

I had a good 1st time experience staying in a place other than a hotel. The host & condo manager were very nice & informative. The place was exactly as pictured & written about. The check in & out was smooth. The instructions, directions, & information was easy to follow. I felt very safe in the condo & the neighborhood. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area as well as enjoy the beach located right outside the condo. The communication was good & only a text/call away with a quick response. The recommendations give by the host were very informative & helpful. I enjoyed the ones we chose & wish I could've done them all honestly except didn't have time since I went for a wedding. I would absolutely stay again when I return to San Juan, PR. Thank you for a good experience.

The property was right on the beach which the view was beautiful. The plus stops here. I was embarrassed by the security guard telling 4 seniors she would be watching our every move, her words. The building was dilapidated and old smelling. Upon entry we began to notice things:
Trash in the bathroom can
Toilet not cleaned behind the lid
Went to toast bread found the tray with french fries we don't eat them
Pool was ok bathrooms were filthy
Air conditioner went out
Oh and what ever you do
DO NOT LEAN FORWARD on any of the three chairs and sofa you see in the picture. You will fall flat forward

The property was as described and just perfect! The location was great for walking to restaurants, shopping and the beach. The view was spectacular! We enjoyed the Alambique restaurant downstairs very much and definitely enjoyed the $5 mimosas! We went to old San Juan for a day and ate at El Jibarito restaurant that Yvonne recommended at it was delicious! I highly recommend this property and would stay again if we get back to Puerto Rico!

This place is absolutely amazing!! The location could not have been better. We had the ocean out the living room window and the beach right out the front door. It was just a few minutes from the airport and a few minutes from downtown too.
The condo was perfect for us. We are four sisters in our 40s and 50s. There was literally everything we needed. They didn’t miss anything. There are two bedrooms with a bathroom between them. It was very comfy. We moved the couch and chairs in front of the window, which is as big as a patio door, and we played games and watched and listened to the ocean when we weren’t out.
There is a fantastic restaurant down stairs, named Alambique. We loved it so much we ate there several times. They have the BEST calamari we’d ever had. Very convenient.
Alberto is the property manager. He met us at the airport to give us the keys and gate remote and he drew us a map of the property. Upon leaving, he came out to the condo to collect they keys and do a quick walk-thru. He was just awesome.
I can’t wait to return to San Juan and I will definitely stay at Yvonne’s place again. It was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!

My family and I stayed here for 8 days. It wad a good location close to many restaurants and convenience stores. We like that it is close to the airport so that when you arrive to PR you can get settled in right away and not have to drive so far.
Checking in is easy and flexible, which makes it nice so you can leave you luggage in the apartment until you leave for your flight.
The swimming pool is just ok. I'm not sure that it was cleaned during our stay. Didn't appear to be, as there was a lot of stuff floating in it everyday. We were more inclined to go to the beach so this didn't really affect us much.
The security guard is present 24 hrs and is friendly.
Alberto met us on the day of our arrival and showed us the basics of the apartment.
Overall it was a good stay.
Thanks to Yvonne for hosting!
Best regards, Scott Lamma

Me, my wife and 3 kids stayed here for 8 nights! Let me first say that Yvonne and Alberto were super responsive and made us feel welcome. The beach view is gorgeous. The place was clean and well stocked. YVvonne even suggested a photographer for us to do a family photo shoot and he was amazing as well. Best vacation we've had in a long time. We would definitely come back and stay here!!

Wonderful condo
My two young kids and husband and I stayed for a week and absolutely loved it. The beach is gorgeous and is right outside your windows. The pool is nice because part of it is shaded at times and parts are sunny, so you kindof can choose if you want to be in the sun or shade. It’s an easy walk right across the street to rent chairs and umbrella for the day and go back and forth with young kids. We usually would go back inside for lunch and a quick nap then head back out. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook with. The second bedroom has a daybed that has a trundle under, so two kids sleep well in here. It’s a nice mile walk to the end of the beach and we did that every morning with the kids finding coconuts and seashells. I recommend renting a car at the airport and you have a gate opener and parking space that comes with the condo. Super easy and safe. There’s even a Costco that we got groceries at the beginning of the week. We did love the restaurant right below two floors down called Alambique. It was delicious and we ate there for lunch 3 times in a row, it was just that good! Highly recommend trying the local dish, a shrimp mofongo or rice and beans with red snapper. The host is very nice and responsive and cares very much that you enjoy your stay and have everything you need. We enjoyed it so much we will definitely be back! Thanks so much, Yvonne!

Great place with a great location
It is a nice place with a great location. the only thing I didn't like is the home didn't have central air condition. I'm not use to the white noise from window air condition. The home has everything you need. I'm very appreciate.

Lovely place. Great location.
We enjoyed our stay at Yvonne's place. It was spacious, comfortable, nicely decorated, and in a great location with a beautiful view of the ocean. The host promptly addressed any issues that arose during our stay. We would not hesitate to book this place again.

Perfect location
My wife is Puerto Rican. We love vacationing in Puerto Rico. Yvonne's condo provides everything your looking for...a beautiful view, very comfy and functional condo(we felt very much at home), delicious eats just downstairs at Alambique and Torres' Place, the beach just steps away, very friendly neighbors, nice pool, etc. Yvonne and her property manager are wonderful. Both were easy to get a hold of. Of course, never had a need to reach out to them other than to check in and then unfortunately check out. Yvonne is always concerned of making sure your comfortable. Can't wait to get back!

Beach stay
My sister and I spent a week here. The condo faces
the beach and had everything we needed.
The beach is great and the water was awesome. Security is taken pretty seriously at the condo. There is a heavy police presence in the area at night for the safety of the tourists. We felt safe at all times. Covid rules are followed pretty strictly with the majority of restaurants requiring a valid vaccine card and ID to get in. Restaurants, CVS, shops are all close.
The only negative was an issue with the couch. My sister sat on the couch and it tipped forward and she fell to the floor because the wicker couch base is only half-depth instead of being full depths like most couches. We learned to sit back.

Great Beach Apt
This apartment has a great view with the beach right in front! Great and quick accessibility to the beach. It was very comfortable and well stocked with all linens, kitchen equipment, etc. We mainly used the ceiling fans but also had A/Cs for sleeping or if it got too hot. The property is located within short walking distance to a CVS and other shops from where we were able to get a few supplies for our stay. Alberto, the property manager, greeted us when we arrived and helped us check in and if we had any questions. We did not have any issues during our stay. I loved my stay. I would consider it again and will recommend this place to friends and family.

This place really is a jewel. It is fantastic! Location, view, cleanliness and amenities really are the best you can get! One of the only condos facing the beach! Alambique is a wonderful restaurant down below! Plus, its literally down the street from grocery, pharmacy and other restaurants! We also ate at Myst (restaurant on top of hotel next door). Food was average, but view and ambiance was great! Yvonne was a gracious and highly communicative host! Alberto was charming, helpful and so understanding. Do not have any Covid fears! The condo was spotless! Plus, every restaurant you enter takes your temp and sanitizes your hands.You will want to go multiple times, as do we!!!!
