White House by the Beach, one block from ocean park beach within gated community
Imagine landing at San Juan International Airport, only 10 minutes to our charming two bedroom home all ready for you to arrive. There are so many choices like Mexican, Spanish, Pizza, and local food nearby. We are near lively Loiza Street with several fast food restaurants. Ashtanga Yoga Studio is just across the street. Walk up that block you will find many stores, post office, fruits/vegetables and several restaurants. Walgreen’s is 24/7 just around the corner. This is just in the neighborhood.
We are on the beach block, no streets to cross to get to wonderful Ocean Park Beach. It's perfect location can't be beat.

Wonderful property. We find Lynne and her husband are fantastic hosts year after year. It's not fancy, but as a beach house, it's great. We did not lack for anything.
This is the second time we have stayed with Lynne and Eric. Lynne is amazing and so friendly. She let us checking early as our apartment was available early. great communication though out our stay if we needed anything. We love the location as it is so close to the beach as well as great restaurants with easy access to highways if you want to venture out of the area. If we come back to PR again this is will be the first place we will look to rent from. Thanks for opening your home to us and for another great experience.
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The house is beautiful and in a fantastic location. Lynne was responsive, friendly, accommodating, and super easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again if we come back.
We loved our stay here! We have stayed at a couple different places in this neighborhood on past trips but this was easily our favorite. It really felt like home... plenty of space and very comfortable. Obviously we love the neighborhood too... quiet, safe, and just a block away from a beautiful beach. Lynne was extremely welcoming and accommodating, and helped us out promptly when we had issues.
Nice 2br unit. A block from the beach, and within a few blocks of many nice restaurants.
Easy to have groceries delivered from supermax or Walmart.
If needed Ubers are inexpensive in PR.
The owner is on site and very responsive and great communication.
We would definitely stay again when the needed.

Great hosts, great location
Will definitely consider booking again. Lynne was an amazing host. The apartment is situated 4-5 properties from the beach (which is beautiful) and close enough to anything you need. The a/c in each room was a must and they worked great. You’ll love the high ceilings and superb WiFi along with DirecTV for late night tv. Thank you Lynne!
It's just one block from the beach in a safe, gated community near a cool neighborhood with lots of restaurants and shops! The kitchen is huge and well-equipped, there is a big dining room, and a massage chair in the living room. There is also a nice, indoor open-air sitting room, as well as a small private patio out front and a really cute larger shared one out back. The house has beach towels, chairs, and coolers that we used regularly. Also, Lynne (the owner) is very responsive, sweet, and takes good care of the place.

Wow . . . 5 Star Accomodation/Service Near Beautiful Ocean Park Beach
Our family just returned from a week stay at this beautiful home near Ocean Park beach and all we can say is Wow! We absolutely loved everything about it. We have stayed at many VRBOs over the years, but this one was simply the best. The home was so clean and immaculate. This was our first trip to Puerto Rico and both Lynne and Eric made sure we enjoyed it. From the beach chairs and umbrella for the beach, to the fabulous home with everything we could possibly want (including WiFi), to the wealth of information they provided us, we could not have been happier. Only sad part was having to leave to return home.
The home is in a beautiful gated community near everything you could possibly want. Beautiful Ocean Park beach is just a short walk down a private street. Many restaurants and shops nearby, including the awesome Kasalta bakery/deli, Mangos restaurant and bar, Yogen Fruz frozen yogurt, a surf/beach shop that is loaded with gear, and if you need the comfort of knowing there is a modern Walgreens not far away, it is just a short walk. Yes, there is even a McDonalds if you need to go there. Coin laundry, gas station and quickshop is also just a short walk.
We highly recommend this rental to anyone thinking about staying in Puerto Rico. Why would anyone want to stay in a hotel when you can stay in a home like this and feel like a resident of Puerto Rico during your stay with such nice neighbors and Lynne and Eric. The lovely sound of the Cocqui frogs at night really added to the tropical ambiance.
Thank you Lynne and Eric for everything !!!

Outstanding Experience
My wife, three teenagers, and I rented both the house and the third-floor apartment when we couldn't find a large enough house for all of us on pretty short notice. The setup turned out to be perfect for our family. The three kids slept in the main house and the wife and I had our own private retreat upstairs. Since we go to bed earlier and get up earlier than the teens, it worked perfectly - we would wake up and have coffee on the sunny apartment terrace, then head over to Kasalta for a cafe con leche and pastry or sandwich after the kids got up. Then off to the beach (half a block away) or touring or whatever. At night we would all hang out after dinner in the house and the "old folks" could head up to sleep while the kids could stay up later playing on the XBOX (provided in the house) or watch satellite tv (there is also satellite tv in the apartment). Although there weren't many dinner restaurants in the immediate vicinity, it was a pleasant 15-20 minute walk to Condado where there were numerous excellent dining choices. They would be a very short drive/cab ride if one didn't care to walk.
The house and apartment were immaculately clean. They were both fully stocked with linens, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. There were also beach chairs, boogie boards, and even surfboards there for our use. Free wireless internet also.
The "icing on the cake", however, was the hospitality of hosts Lynne and Eric. As on-site landlords they were readily available to handle any issues (although we had no issues), and they were always available to give helpful dinner ideas, touring tips, or just generally answer any questions or provide any help needed. One day when we asked Lynne about how to take the bus into Old San Juan (we didn't rent a car), she was kind enough to offer to drive us there herself!
Overall, an outstanding experience and we would definitely stay there again - we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant place to stay.
This was our 2nd stay at this beautiful property. The cleanliness, location to beach and amazing restaurants makes this a gem! Thank you again Lynne. We will be back.
From the moment, we arrived it was the warmest welcome. It was the just right considering my flight. Lynne is the most gracious host and is there with whatever you need. I already know where my family and I are staying when we go back to PR. The location is great and close to San Juan and the beach access from the house is amazing! I also enjoyed the peacefulness of the neighborhood. Look forward to seeing Lynne again.
Lynne and her husband are the definition of Puerto Rican hospitality! The property was beautiful and as described. Quick 2 minute walk to a amazing beach and then unwind in their amazing home. Everything you need is available! Will be back soon!
Beautiful little home with all the perks and amenities you’ll need for a nice stay…and a very short walk away from a gorgeous beach and many great restaurants. A fantastic place to stay and enjoy Puerto Rico. I highly recommend staying here!
Lynne was a gracious host and very helpful with any questions we had and restaurant recommendations. Everything was perfect in the apartment and was 2 blocks to Ocean Park beach. Highly recommend!
Lynne's graciousness and sense of accommodation are unsurpassed. She fit my daughter and me into her schedule at the last minute when we were wondering where we'd land. Her apartment is spacious, well-equipped and beautifully furnished. She understood that finding a home away from is possible and can be crucial. Each day is precious. Lynne's place allowed us to be perfectly quiet and at ease in the middle of the abundance of Ocean Park's offerings.
Lynee was very friendly, helpful, adorable and understanding. Thank you for making our trip exception with you hospitality. Home was very clean and we had everything needed arranged before we came in. she is very flexible and comfortable to check anything. We have 20 months baby she taught about the baby needs and arranged from the smallest things like baby Wipes to the baby crib which made us feel so warmth. She was so responsive and patient enough to answer all my questions before we reach there. She tried helping us in all the way possible to check about the locations and contacts so that we can cover all of them in time. And the location of the house is so beautiful with the ocean park beach around the corner just a minute walk and best thing is the location is gated community with the security which made us more comfortable. Last but not the least don't miss to pet the adorable doggies Micki and minni. Over all it was a wonderful experience for us thank you for the love and hospitality. We will definitely plan to come to the location and of course not miss to stay with you guys again. Highly recommended house for the stay with the wonderful host, beautiful home in a gated community with the beach access. Will surely recommend for our friend who are visiting San Juan 🥰😍😊

Beautiful home, wonderful hosts
My wife, daughter and I stayed in this house for 35 days. It was an absolutely wonderful experience in every way. The home is in an ideal location, in Ocean Park, and the beach is right at the end of the street. There are eateries and a 24 hour walgreens very close by. It's a quiet neighborhood, because though some of the places are rented out, it's also full of long time residents. It's a gorgeous place, light, airy, and roomy, and it is lovingly maintained by Lynne and Eric, who used to live there, and still live adjacent to it. The kitchen is well-appointed -- we cooked many meals there -- and the living room is very comfortable. Lynne and Eric are incredibly kind people. They welcomed us unreservedly, and made us feel at home. We loved this place, and Lynn and Eric. If and when we go back to Puerto Rico, we're staying here again.

Amazing place for vacation!
We just got home from an 8 day stay with Lynne and Eric at the White house by the beach in Ocean Park. It was by far the best family faction we have ever taken and will be our new go-to vacation spot for family vacations.
The house is great. The location is perfect, located just at the end of the street from the beach entrance. You walk out your front door and arrive at the beautiful Ocean Park white sand beach in 2 minutes. Lynne and Eric provide beach towels and beach chairs which make it super convenient. The house is well stocked with everything you need for your stay. We loved having a kitchen that was well stocked to make snacks and cook for the kids. Although we ate out a lot, cooking is easy to do here.
There are several very good restaurants within a few minutes walk from the house. Our favorite was Mango's; you have to try the Seafood Paella when you go there. It was fabulous. Kasalta Bakery is also just a few minutes away and has wonderful treats and breakfast items as well as deli foods such as meats and cheeses. Walgreens is a few blocks away which makes it easy to grab things you need for the whole family.
Lynne helped us set up a ziplining and cave repelling tour for our two older boys, which they loved! She also helped us to book a rainforest tour which was a fun adventure for the whole family, even the baby!
We brought our 19 year old, 8 year old and 8 month old boys and all of them had a blast! Lynne provided a portable crib which came in very handy. We purchased a small folding stroller for walks around town when we went to see Old San Juan as it was easier to navigate the cobblestone streets with that than our large stroller. We left it at the house for others to use when they visit, so if you have a small child, you won't need to bother lugging your large stroller with you. We also purchased a beach umbrella and beach toys and left those for future guests to use with their children at the beach. Ocean Park has a small resort at the beach right where you enter from Elena Street which does rent larger umbrellas and large beach chairs too.
The house, Lynne and Eric and Puerto Rico far exceeded our expectations. No one wanted to leave yesterday and today we have all said how much we miss being there and cannot wait to return.
Lynne and Eric were amazing hosts. We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed staying there. Puerto Rico is truly magical and allows you to just relax and enjoy life.

we spent a week at the white house in san juan, the location was ideal, by car close to the airport, to old san juan, to the supermarket, to the shopping center, to santurce, to museums. by foot was 2 minutes from a gorgeous beach, from kasalta for morning coffee, from bagu for tasty tapas and a drinks, from loisa street full of night life. the house is perfect for a couple, the owner very pleasant people always willing to help, very attentive. a large terrace the high light of the apartment. i would definitely recommend this place where i have stayed for a happy and relaxing week and i hope one day to be back.
