Of the 3 bedrooms two have KING Beds and the 3rd has a TWIN OVER FULL BUNK bed with a trundle. The bedrooms accommodate 8 people in total. 6 adults and 2 kids.
There are AC's in each bedroom along with a ceiling fan and an oscillating fan AC's are only in the 3 bedrooms.

We enjoyed our stay here. The pictures are accurate on the site. The check in process was easy and Mark was very responsive. The building itself is fairly run down and the balcony roof leaks. The area around the property is run down with quite a few abandoned homes and a large population of feral cats.

A diamond that lost its brightness
The view from the balcony is stunning , absolutely beautiful. Breath taking. Walk on beach very nice, but not a safe swimming beach more for surfing definitely not for small children. Beds comfortable. The condo is 40 years old and in need of many updates. No air conditioner in the common area, living room, dining kitchen area or hallway.
Hallway leading to condo needs cleaning and windows since many are missing.
Pool well maintained and clean
Neighborhood loud, busy but felt very safe on condo grounds.
I love this place. It is clean,accessible and reliable. I took my grandchildren here and they loved it. Everything that we needed for a family of 7 was available. The beds are comfortable and every room has air conditioning. We love this place and want to move in. The view from the balcony is oicture perfect and a dream for early wake ups.

The inside property was OK. The condo complex is dated, and needs repair. The safety and security was a little sketchy. Our condo was entered while we were away by guests arriving at the wrong condo. Two condos have the same entry codes and same instructions. We did not feel safe knowing someone came in with our personal belongings out. There also was no security latch on the inside of the door to prevent entry when we were there. Very uneasy, and uncomfortable.
The bedding of one bedroom smelled like sweat which should be washed well or replaced. All the furniture in the bedrooms are too old and have bad smells. Some cushions have bad smell as well. The hot tub is too old and lost paint and the shower is leaking. The horrible thing is the elevator. When the elevator goes up, it keeps shaking and the screen showed 20 floors, when we actually reached out the 13th floor.

It is beautiful on the beach.
Make sure you get the codes to get in the apartment otherwise make other arrangements plus make sure your phone will connect you need a service as in version, att, etc. The security personnel is very helpful. The neighbors are so sweet and have great tips!
Reasonable price at a convenient location with awesome view
Mark was very responsive prior to and during our trip. He provided an information package that was so comprehensive that it felt a little overwhelming. We actually liked the neighborhood and enjoyed the drinks and food that we found nearby. The view from the balcony is beautiful and the walk along the beach is quite enjoyable as well.
What a great view from the balcony! The house was clean however didn’t smell very fresh. The check-in was easy even for our late arrival. The area is a little uncomfortable. Though the listing says it has air conditioning, it is only the bedrooms that does, not the kitchen or dining. The Owner called me late in the evening and disturbed me a bit. Overall the visit was alright with some room for improvement.
The condo is alittle dated but the location was perfect and the owner was easy to work with. He was very accommodating! We would rent this place again.

Great location
Let me start by telling those that read this that I am a VRBO owner so I notice things that others may not. Yes, there are a lot of keys and a lot of instructions, but if you read them closely check in is not difficult. It may be a pain carrying around all the keys, but it sure does lead to a sense of security which is nice. The owner was super responsive and I helped out a bit by replacing light bulbs (the bulbs were there), washing the silverware holders, cleaning out all of the cabinets and running the dishwasher several times. I know first hand how hard it is to keep your vacation rental clean when you are not living near your investment! So, to the next renters, you are welcome and I do hope you think about those who come after you.
There are 2 elevators in this building and 1 was inoperable during our stay and the 2nd broke with people stuck inside for 30 minutes and us carrying our luggage down the stairs 13 floors (well, the firemen helped by carrying our two heaviest bags). So, travel lightly just in case.
The A/C units are portable and in each of the 3 bedrooms so make sure you turn them on about 30 minutes before bedtime so the rooms can cool. They did not run cool enough for me but with the addition of the ceiling fans it was fine. We cleaned all the A/C filters also and if the unit is not cooling well, take a look at the filters. I am not sure if there is an HOA but it did not look like it as other condos were in terrible disrepair with pigeons living on the balconies and units with no balconies because they had crumbled.
There is everything you need here, just bring your clothes and food and you are all set!
Beautiful beach panoramic view from the 14 floor of this very comfortable condo.
-Terrific location
- very comfortable condo equipped with all the amenities needed to have great time on the beach or just relaxing in the property
- The host provides a detailed and somewhat voluminous set of instructions that may seem a bit daunting but are necessary to read thoroughly to ensure you have a smooth stay.

About the host

Why they chose this property
Direct Beach Front. The building sits on top of a large piece of granite jutting out into the ocean. The ground floor is 100 feet above sea level. There is always a breeze on the balcony where you can hear the waves crash hundreds of feet below. If you like to go for a walk you can walk for hours to the right of the property and see no one. It feels like you are shipwrecked on an island. Turn around and you can see waves for miles with a the rainforest as a back drop.
What makes this property unique
Central location to many activities. We are right on the beach. The rainforest is right behind the building. Drive for 15 minutes and you are already in it. To the left is a surfers beach. I love the beach and watching the surfers. to the right is a nature preserve sea turtles nest in April. 10 minutes drive you are at the Fajardo. think Catamaran rides, Ferry to Culebra and or Viqueues. 5 minute drive you can go ATVing, ziplining, horse backing riding, Ko-carts, and then there is Luquillo beach. Then my favorite is of course Old San Juan. I go there each time.
