La Costal | Beachfront Studio Apt w/ Ocean View

Summary:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW AND REVIEW ALL PHOTOS BEFORE BOOKING.



Sometimes VRBO, Expedia, and other partner websites incorrectly display amenities or other information, which can cause confusion.



If you have any questions or are unsure about something, the listing description is your best reference, but you’re also welcome to contact us directly for clarification!



The Space:

La Costal is a gorgeous recently remodeled studio apartment on Isla Verde Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico and arguably the best urban beach in the Caribbean. From La Costal you and your guests will be staying right on a 1.5 mile-long beach and will be within walking distance to endless options for dining and nightlife. The apartment is located 5 minutes from Luis Muñoz Marin Airport. You’ll love the ocean, city, and rainforest views from this apartment, just to name a few. Recently renovated kitchenette and bathroom with sound proof windows.



The property comfortably sleeps 4 adults in 2 queen size beds.



PLEASE NOTE: Until further notice, access to the pool deck and use of the pool facilities will be closed to the owners and all visitors. This is due to repairs by the administration. 



UPDATE TO NOTE ABOVE: On 5/13/2025 we were informed by the building administrators that they will finally begin Phase 1 of a new pool area. Phase 1 consists of demolishing the old structure and removing debris. Between Phase 1 and the rest of the project, there will be work going on from 8:00am until 5:00pm. There will be noise. If you booked after this date, you are booking knowing full well of this project. If you are sensitive to noise, we don't recommend booking at ESJ Towers.



Friendly reminder that this listing *does not* promote a pool at the building - it is not a listed amenity nor a missing amenity. This is something that will be added as an amenity once the work is done and the pool is open for visitors.



**If you have questions, please reach out to us before booking.**

LOCATION



La Costal is located on Isla Verde Beach, Puerto Rico. This is arguably the best urban beach in the Caribbean. The beach is 1.5 miles long and the Isla Verde strip has a long list of dining and nightlife options. The apartment is 5 minutes from the airport and has car rentals, supermarkets, a Walgreens, and multiple hotels and Casinos all within walking distance. There are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:



Chill at the beach! It is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you are staying at La Costal. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach.

Lunch or dinner at La Placita de Santurce; a local market with 20+ restaurants and awesome nightlife. We love Santaella restaurant; a local cuisine with a modern approach located in La Placita.

Shop at  The Mall of San Juan. This brand new mall is a 10-minute drive from the apartment and has excellent shops and dining options.

Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 30-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.

Spend a day in Old San Juan. La Costal is a 15 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There is a lot of history to be seen and great food and drinks to savor.
