About this property

Blue Ocean Studio | Beachfront Studio in Luquillo

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:

Blue Ocean Studio is a unique beachfront studio apartment that is literally steps from the sand in Luquillo, Puerto Rico. It features comfortable furnishing, A/C, a kitchen, and wonderful community amenities such as beach access, a large swimming pool, a basketball court, and a children's park. Guests love the excellent location which is approximately 15-20 minutes from the El Yunque Rainforest, 5-10 minutes from a wide array of beaches, and has excellent dining options nearby. 



It also has a washer and dryer, convenient for longer stays!



IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that the property owners do not allow Children under the age of 13 at the unit. Please take this into account before booking.



*DISCLAIMER*: The condominium Playa Azul Tower 1 is currently undergoing general repairs and upgrades. Specifically, since February 19th until mid-June, they will be pressure washing and restoring the balconies, causing some residue in our property’s balcony.





LIVING AREAS



Enter the studio and you are greeted with a beautiful open space overlooking the stunning beach and ocean. Cozy decor along with beautiful pop of colors throughout the studio gives it pop with personality and unique style. The studio features a perfectly designed kitchen and brand-new furnishings. It also has a flat-screen TV and a private balcony with a dining table for 4. The balcony has a sitting area where you can enjoy the stunning view and trade winds. 



 

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS



The studio has 1 king-size bed outfitted with freshly laundered bed linens. Features a brand new private full bathroom with a rain shower head, A/C, and personal nightstands. 



If you wish to divide the living room from the bedroom, guests have the option to close the area with a proper sliding door for privacy.



PACK AND PLAY (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY):



We can leave a complimentary Pack and Play at the property upon request. This should be requested upon booking or no later than 5 days before arrival. Pack and Plays are subject to availability.



 

KITCHEN



Blue Ocean Studio has a recently remodeled and fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen includes a fridge, freezer, microwave, stovetop, oven, coffee maker, and toaster. It has a convenient counter area with 2 additional counter stool seatings. 



 

GETTING AROUND & PARKING



We strongly recommend renting a car, as there are a multitude of activities within a 15-30-minute drive that you will not want to miss out on. Also, Uber is not readily available in the area, which is why it's important to have your own means of transportation.



The villa includes one (1) unassigned parking spot.





LOCATION



Blue Ocean Studio is located in Luquillo Beach, Puerto Rico. Luquillo Beach is well known for its refreshing trade winds and large palm trees which provide plenty of shade. The location provides quick and easy access to some of the best beaches in Puerto Rico, El Yunque Rainforest, and the boat tours and water activities based out of Fajardo.  



There are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:



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

Lunch or dinner at Los Kioskos de Luquillo. There are over 25 restaurants on the Caribbean beachfront restaurant strip. One of our favorites is "La Parrilla".

Take a surfing lesson right at La Pared Beach. There are multiple surf schools located on this beach and it is a 5-minute walk away from the apartment.  

Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 10-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.

Spend a day in Old San Juan. Blue Ocean Villa is a 45 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 be had.

Charter a boat from Fajardo. There are many boats you can charter for day trips to neighboring islands and coral reefs. You can choose from large boats that sell by ticket or smaller boats you can rent out for private trips with a captain.

Great location, cute little efficiency at the beach. Host was VERY responsive! Quarter mile from grocery/liquor store, walkable to Luquillo Kiosks and other restaurants. It’s not new or luxurious but the price is right. I would stay there again.

This was a lovely condo. Very clean apartment. Small but separated nicely. Beautiful location! The bed was really comfortable and who doesn't love sitting on a bed and listening to the crashing waves? Would totally stay again.

Clean, comfy bed, gorgeous view. The beach is a local fave. The sand is a cross between brown sugar and ground up ginger snaps. Walk to a couple of good restaurants for local food and characters. Grocery across the street. It was lovely.

Constant breeze, sound of waves, totally restful

The studio is attractive and best of all is open to the ocean. You can open the entire wall of glass from the studio to the balcony if you wish. For us, the quiet neighborhood, and lack of crowds on the beach gave us exactly what we were looking for. Note that the decorative colors have changed so the vivid blues in the photos are no longer there, but the decor remains lovely. We arrived on Christmas Eve, which was a mistake as it turns out because NOTHING was open, not even fast food places, which we wold normally never go to anyway. Something to keep in mind if you are traveling at Christmas. Christmas Day was a bit better, with a few possibilities at Los Kioskos. But this was not at all the fault of the rental itself. Nice to have the lawn chairs and umbrella to use on the beach. Small cons: I would recommend that the owner supply facial tissues and supply tumblers for drinks -- most of the glassware was for cocktails and wine. All in all a lovely plave that we would recommend.

Constant Breeze blowing through

Amazing stay. The glass wall facing the beach completely opens to allow a constant breeze through the apartment and we slept with it wide open listening to the weaves crash and the frogs chirp. Extremely clean and well-appointed with plenty of kitchen supplies and thick shower towels.. In-room washer and dryer was great to have. Beautiful view. Definitely would recommend to a friend ( and already have!)
