Ratings and reviews
10.0 / 10.0
This property was ideal for our family of 2 parents and 2 adult children as the second bedroom has 2 separate full sized beds which was ideal for us. The condo is very much as pictured, nothing particularly fancy but comfortable and with everything you’d need. The location cannot be beat for the caliber of the beach immediately outside, the walkability, proximity of the airport and the dedicated parking space if you’d like to rent a car for any excursions. We also received great Uber service as needed throughout our stay.

The room was ok needs some updating when we arrived and checked in we went to a local supermarket and spent $258 of that amount $158 was food that went into the fridge the next day all food was spoiled and rotten we noticed the fridge very old by the way didn’t close correctly the gasket is shot on door after that we had to get more food and put in fridge every time we opened fridge we had to make sure you push the door real hard to get the door to stay closed. The A/C in the living room didn’t do much needs to be replaced those who chose to stay in casa Bonita if you get room 1208 remember to push fridge door real hard so your food doesn’t spoil I would check fridge in any room just in case this building is ok needs work I wouldn’t stay there again it was last minute booking I always stay in more updated buildings
I been going to P R for over 30 years it was just a short holiday. Normally I stay in Rinco by the beach by the way if I owned that condo I would replace fridge and A/C immediately among a lot of other things that need attention

The property is clean albeit a bit dated. Communication with the host and property management was good. No in-unit laundry is inconvenient. Great beach front location but gets very noisy especially at night due to motorcycle gangs on the street, air planes, and noisy window ACs.

This spacious condo is across a side street from a lovely beach, and access out of and into the complex is very secure and safe. In just about 2 minutes you can take the elevator from the 12th floor to the pool, walk around the pool, slip out the secure property gate, and you are on the beach! We loved the location!
While the kitchen is small, it is well equipped, but we ate many of our meals out. A variety of restaurants are a short walk away, either down the street or down the beach. We enjoyed sunset from a beachside restaurant one night and took a drive out to Old San Juan another night for an unobstructed sunset view. We did have a rental car because we like to explore but it wouldn't have been needed to enjoy the nearby area.
The beds are soft which was comfortable for me. The shower is excellent. The overall appearance of the condo is dated, but the views from the bedroom and living room windows make up for that. The pool is much better than it looks from the photo on the site.

The property is perfect for a getaway! It was clean and located right on the beach. The hosts were extremely flexible and nice. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and plan to come back for myself in the future.

Excellent location
This condo was in a great location. Beach in front, airport right behind us. Convenient for flying. Big food store one street over.
We are a family of 5 and found it very comfortable for all of us. Safe too. Never felt unsafe at all.
Other reviewers complained of airport noise and uncomfortable beds. We found no issues with either. Actually, the main bed was quite comfortable.
The pool was wonderful - clean and almost always empty. Nice to have as an option for some down time.
All in all, excellent stay. Great condo. I would recommend staying there. We hope to return.

Great property right on the beach!
This location is amazing! You are steps from the beach and almost anything else you could want. Short trips to Old San Juan and El Yunque totally doable. The space itself is slightly outdated, but has everything you could need and most importantly everything was very clean. The window to the beach where you could get the ocean breeze and hear the waves is the best. We'd definitely stay here again - there was so much to do right outside the door!

Great location, over priced condo.
The location is great, we have stayed in this building many times. I did feel that this particular condo was overpriced. My sister rented in the same building, Ocean front, for $700 less. The beds were extremely uncomfortable! Woke up every morning with my back and neck hurting. Plus the futon broke while we were there. No one could come fix it until 12 hours before we were scheduled to check out. The condo was fully stocked, but I would have thought there would be more kids cups since it was advertised as a great place for kids. I did love all of the beach supplies that came with the apartment. Made it super easy for going down and keeping the kids occupied. A broom or small vacuum would have been nice to have. Overall, we went to spend time with family and Puerto Rico is a great place to visit!

Perfect location!
Great communication! Perfect location for beach or short trip to Old San Juan, El Yunque, or other adventures. Close to stores. Full size refrigerator, stove, and dishes - making it easy to cook or reheat left overs when eating out. Bonus amenities (pack & play) for infant made this a great family vacation!! Having dedicated parking also ideal.

Great place to stay, and parking is included which can be difficult in this area to find.
Definitely recommend to others right on the beach!

Ok property but needs some tlc
Positives...right on the beach, good beach view, well stocked kitchen though some of the things like the toaster and pans in poor condition, quick response from manager and owner, close to everything. Negatives....unit and building are outdated, not the cleanest like the windows, no balcony though large windows that open to beach view, some things need fixed like window cranks that dont work, some of the ceiling tiles in bathroom broken or stained, could have had a better orientation like how to buy credits to use building washer and dryer and where the pool elevator was, etc. Just needs some tlc and it could be a pretty nice place.

Like home
The kitchen had everything that was needed to cook and eat. There were items like condiments even salad dressings.
The condos layout was great. One bedroom had a large bed and the other had two large beds.
We had access to beach and pool items such as chairs and even things for children.
I’d recommend this condo to anyone who travels to Isla Verde.

5 Star Experience!
This property was exactly as promised. Excellent location, 12 paces to the beach is not an exaggeration. The pool is bigger than it looks in the photos. Unit was clean and stocked with everything you need! The CVS close by had everything we needed, including alcohol 😊
The owners and property manager are amazing, responsive to all inquiries with lightening speed!
I highly recommend this property. I plan to stay there every time I take a cruise that leaves from San Juan!

Great spot right by the beach
This was the perfect spot to stay at during our vacation. Only minutes from the airport and steps from the beach. There was a lot to do in the area, and it was inexpensive to Uber to Condado and Santurce for the night life. Tity, the property manager, was very helpful during our stay. Jay and Amy had everything you needed to enjoy a day on the beach. Very clean and affordable. I know where I will be staying when I return to Puerto Rico!

Love the location. Love the people that live there. No toilet paper, not as clean as I like. No wash cloths. The lady that let us in was not always pleasant. Not bad but uncomfortable at times.

wish i could stay longer
Loved the condo, well equipped.All the previous reviews are correct, if you read them, you will not be disappointed. Clean and good location. Restaurants, food stores, pharmacies and casinos within walking distance. If you get a car, be sure to venture away from the area and hit some roadside stands to the east, they had excellent food and service. Oh and be careful in the mountains, some roads are only one lane and we even found one that was washed out completely. had an adventure for sure.

Great vacation condo
What a great condo for our vacation to PR! It had everything we needed, was conveniently located and a great space for our family. It was so nice to arrive and have coffee and a beverage awaiting us. The closet full of beach equipment was fabulous, it made going to the beach so easy and enjoyable. We would love to visit again, thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us.

Welcoming and super stocked!
Stayed here on a family trip (me, husband and 5 kids ages 17, 12, 5, 4, 15 mos). What a wonderfully stocked condo! Cooking was a breeze with all of the provided spices and essentials. Cold beer and water in the fridge on arrival. The kids loved using the boogie boards and other pool/beach toys. Just steps from the beach and pool. It is not the nicest condo that I have ever stayed at- it had a kind of funky urban feel, however it was clean, comfy, and felt very homey. Only 1 bathroom with that big of a family was a bit challenging. Check in and out was easy and quick. I thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great Location + Great Condo = Superb Experience!
I spent a week in this condo, and it was one of the most worry-free and enjoyable weeks I've had in a long time. A short (10 minute) ride from the airport and you are ready to start your holiday on the beautiful Isla Verde beach. To simply cross the street and be at the beach was wonderful, and having all the beach items available in the condo made it so convenient. As for the condo itself, the owners have made sure all of the amenities needed for a great stay are available, from kitchen supplies to board games. One of the most unique things available is a book that describes everything you need to know about the unit, and places to see and things to do. It was extremely helpful for this first time visitor. The restaurant attached to the building had some of the best food we ate all week. All in all, this was a wonderful unit in a great location and I would recommend it to all. Hopefully, I will return soon!

Great location!
We had a great time here in Isla Verde! Casa Bonita is a very cozy and clean apartment. The only negatives to us was the noise and the mattresses. If you keep your windows open you can hear all the city noises at night (airport is right on your backyard so get used to hearing the planes taking off), and if you shut the windows and turn the ACs on they are also quite loud. What we did is we closed the windows at night and turned the AC in the living area only (not the ones in the bedroom) and kept the ceiling fans on in the bedrooms. That was enough to keep us cool and keep the noise down. If you like soft mattresses you'll love these. My husband has back problems so it was not good for him. However, we did notice that there was a thick gel pad on top of the mattress which was very soft, so once we took the pad off the bed the mattress itself wasn't that bad. The kids were fine with the soft beds. I also thought it was great that they provided us with all the basics (toilet paper, paper towels, soap, etc) as well as other commodities such as beach chairs, beach toys for the kids, towels, cooler, beach bags, and much more. Location is what's best about Casa Bonita. You have everything you need close by. Stores, restaurants, and of course, the beautiful beach. It's also not a far drive from the east coast of the island where there's a lot of the "must dos" such as the bio bay, the rainforest, the ferry to the islands (Palomino, Icacos, Vieques, Culebra, etc), the natural water falls, and many other amazing beaches. We didn't get to meet the actual owner of the property but Mary was in charge of our check in and check out, and she was very nice and pleasant. We had a great time in Puerto Rico! There's A LOT to do in this island and great tasting local food to eat!

Great condo with great location
Condo was great and right on the beach as shown in the pictures. I was traveling with kids and they really enjoyed the boogie board and other beach items that were in the condo. It was also nice to have basic amenities stocked in the kitchen such as spices, sugar, coffee, etc. Would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Puerto Rico.

Great beach access
A nice well appointed condo on the beautiful Isla Verde beach. They have everything you could need to have a wonderful vacation. The location could not be more perfect for access to the beach.
