🏡 Property Overview Plazo del Mar
Welcome to Plazzo del Mar, a grand and colorful colonial residence located in the very heart of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico’s most iconic and historic neighborhood. This is not just a place to stay — it’s a true experience of Caribbean history, architecture, and culture.
This spacious home comfortably sleeps up to 11 guests, with the following bedding arrangement: • 1 King bed • 3 Queen beds • 2 Twin beds • 1 Sofa bed (suitable for 1 adult)
You’ll find 6 separate AC units and ceiling fans throughout the property to keep each room cool and comfortable.
The home includes a fully equipped kitchen with cookware, utensils, coffee maker, fridge, stove, and everything else needed for extended stays or home-cooked meals.
🏛️ A Note About the Home’s Historic Nature
Plazo del Mar is located inside a building that’s over 200 years old, one of the many preserved historic structures in Old San Juan — a UNESCO World Heritage district.
That means: • You will see original architectural details like thick stone walls, high ceilings, exposed wood, and antique doors. • Some furnishings and finishes are intentionally preserved in vintage condition to match the building’s authentic character. • You won’t find ultra-modern, brand-new construction here — because that’s not what this part of the city allows or is known for.
Instead, you’re staying in a true piece of living history, surrounded by beauty, charm, and culture that no modern condo can replicate.
We want guests to come expecting a property that is rich in personality and heritage. If you’re seeking a sleek, modern high-rise, this may not be the right fit. But if you love the magic of an old town — balconies over cobblestone streets, colorful facades, and the stories held within historic walls — then Plazo del Mar is exactly what you’re looking for.
📍 Location & Neighborhood
Our home sits in the absolute center of Old San Juan, within easy walking distance to: • Castillo San Felipe del Morro & San Cristóbal forts • Famous Calle Fortaleza & La Perla • Dozens of restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and boutiques • Ocean views, scenic plazas, museums, and art galleries
