We had a great time at the property. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. Our only issue was with the pools on the property; they were not clean and needed repairs. Otherwise, we will definitely use this property again. The owner was accommodating and provided us with quick responses. Awesome!

Great experience
Our family truly enjoyed our stay in this rental. The location made it easy to enjoy multiple beaches in Loiza, Pinones, and Loquillo. El Yunque and Fajardo offered different opportunities for excursions less than an hour away. The bioluminescent bay in Fajardo was worth the drive. We enjoyed being away from the city with extra space to spread out with two teens. Our kids were a little disappointed the jacuzzi wasn’t fully operational but otherwise everything was awesome. I definitely recommend.

Very nice place in convenient location
The property was very clean. It was very nice to have a full kitchen and washer/dryer. There is an ac unit in every room which made the place very comfortable - and the beds were very comfortable too. Eduardo was very responsive when we had. Few questions. Check-in and check-out were very easy. The pools were nice too. The beach was small but fun to swim at. My boys also played basketball in the complex. There is a small market just a block away which we found very helpful. And we enjoyed the local restaurants that Eduardo recommended. The location was great since we spent some of our time in Luquillo and Fajardo and then some of our time near San Juan. We were able to get to boat cruises, kayaking, the rain forest, a fishing excursion, and parasailing, all within 45 minutes of driving. And we played a lot of board games around the dining table at the place in the evenings. It was a work Sergio trip with this property as a great home base.

Incredibly clean and amazing host!
I have to preface my review with the fact that Ernesto hit the island and derailed 3 days of our vacation. So, we were without power for a bit. Regardless Eduardo communicated with us about the storm and even brought us a lantern and ice. He offered great suggestions about where to eat in Old San Juan. He was incredibly informative. He went above and beyond as a host and even checked to make sure we arrived home safely. Genuinely a good guy.
The condo was INCREDIBLY clean. We’ve stayed in many VBROs in several countries and this unit is the cleanest. I’m super critical when it comes to cleanliness and it was immaculate. Generally well stocked with basic necessities and having a washer/dryer is a bonus.
I’d say my only criticism is that while the property grounds are well maintained, the on site beach is very eroded. While you are able to swim there, the beach itself is small and offers no amenities. It’s good for a quick dip to cool off but not a day at the beach. But, there are a few beautiful beaches within 20 minutes of the property in both directions. The on-site pools are very clean as well but not upscale, resort style pools. We prefer beach so this was not a big deal for us. Everything you want to do on the east side of the island is close by. No matter where you decide to stay, I’d highly recommend renting a vehicle.
All in all, I’d recommend this condo for its size, cleanliness, amazing host and proximity to island attractions.

Amazing location, perfect communication and responsiveness from owner, perfect size for my family, and great for anyone that wants to experience living like a local away from resorts and tourist traps. Was just what the family needed, must be comfortable traveling on your own and interested in a non touristy, low key local experience. Will need a car which is just what we wanted.

5 star stay!
Our stay here was amazing. I love that this is a safe apartment complex with what seems like its own private beach. I have never been to such an amazing beach. The complex is very quiet and peaceful. There is a small convenience store just outside the gates along with a few places to eat. Walmart is only 20 minutes away. El Yunque about 45 minutes (from where our half day tour started). Same distance for bio bay tours. Old San Juan about 30-40 minutes. Luquillo 20-30 minutes. Definitely rent a car. To me this was the perfect location and perfect condo for our family of 4. We could have even put a few more kids in here. We cooked at the condo every breakfast and a couple more meals to save money. Eddie is a fantastic host and very responsive! I would definitely stay here again. The condo was very clean, provided towels and washcloths, washer and dryer, chairs and toys for the beach, all the basics to make your stay just a bit easier. Highly recommend!

Spring Getaway
This was my family’s first trip to Puerto Rico. While we enjoyed our trip and will undoubtedly return to the island next year, we’ll probably look for another place to stay. While our unit was spotless, tastefully decorated and affordable, the complex
itself needs some TLC. One of the two pools was conveniently located right outside our back door (the other pool was closed for repairs), but it needs cosmetic attention and the hot tub was just moderately warm with only lightly powered jets. The private beach was scenic and the turquoise water gentle for our toddler grandsons but the sand was seriously eroded from storms with limited walking potential. (It appears that some neighborhoods have benefited from beach replenishment funds more than others.) If you don’t mind a drive, though, there are several nice public beaches within 10-20 minutes (Luquillo Beach was our favorite with its adjacent strip of restaurants and bars). The complex is completely safe and gated with a convenience store and pharmacy just one block away and is within a 30 minute drive to a nearly unlimited choice of restaurants (Rich’s in Fajardo was our favorite). Plus, El Yunque is closeby too. If you prefer a luxurious accommodation, you probably want to consider another property. But if you’re laid back and don’t mind vacationing among the friendly locals, this place is just right.

Eduardo is the greatest host. We were able to check in early and he was very accommodating.
Eduardo made our trip possible and run smoothly. He was very accommodating and helped us out as needed. If you need anything while in Puerto Rico, Eduardo is your guy. The location of the place is very nice as it is only a half hour drive to the nightlight in San Juan, 40-60 min to Old San Juan, 30 min to El Yunque Rainforest, and there are many beautiful beaches within a 10-15 min drive. The beach at the property is also very beautiful and got the job done. If you decide to stay here, I suggest exploring and learning about Loíza as it has a unique history and very kind people. The neighbors in the condo complex are very nice and the complex has very good security as well. Eduardo keeps his place very clean and my five friends and I enjoyed our stay. We recommend staying here if you are planning on visiting Puerto Rico.
