Don’t forget the key!!

Great spot, clean and well furnished just as the listing describes. I had read others notes about security but wasn’t clear on what it all meant. There are very good instructions for initial checkin and house manager is very helpful. Just be prepared with patience to follow all the steps in correct order. But once there be prepared to travel as a group for the entire stay. You need a key to leave property and a key to return. A key to enter pool and a key to leave pool. There is one key. We were six adults and didn’t always want to come and go like children going on a field trip. That is my only complaint for an otherwise lovely property but it likely means I won’t return.

A wonderful stay

Our stay for 2 weeks at Villa Alma Marina were exactly as described, and pretty much in line with many of the previous comments from past guests. Janelle was an outstanding host, providing us all that we needed for a super vacation. For our family, the villa was well located. You could choose the well maintained pool, or take a long stroll on the local beach. I loved that we were not that far from old San Juan and the airport. (35-40 minutes) The villa had all that we needed, and plenty of space for a very relaxing vacation. Restaurants, the supermarket and other stores are a quick drive, with lots of choice. We chose local cuisine, and there are plenty of options. Overall, as stated, a wonderful stay.

Thanksgiving getaway

Excellent stay! Walking distance to the beach. Calm neighborhood. Many ammenities. Narrow stairs ti the second and third floor, whichnwas no problem for us, but could be an issue with older guests or those with mobility difficulties. Very clean and comfortable. Totally recommend it and will probably book again. Super easy check in and out process and very good communication with property manager.

About the host

Hosted by Janelle

Alma Marina is my beautiful childhood home where I was lucky to build amazing memories throughout my life. After Hurricane Maria impacted our home by destroying what it was once our home, I took this opportunity to fully re-build and remodel it with state of the art design for everyone's' enjoyment. This house was customized to honor my mom Alma. As a civil engineer specialized in hydraulic hydrology, who was so passionate about the ocean and the river, I named this unique home- Villa Alma Marina (soul of the ocean).
Everything in this home has been carefully selected with much love, effort, and with the best quality items that you will hardly find in other of these short-term rentals.

I look forward to hosting amazing guests, and we hope that you have an amazing experience of staying at our home.
