Serena Alta - One Bedroom Apartment, Sleeps 4

Serena Alta is surrounded by tropical plants for a great Caribbean visit.

This 1-bedroom (Queen bed), 1-bath property also has a Queen-size Murphy bed in the living area and sleeps 4 easily.

This is another fine property brought to you by The Marco Polo Collection, a collection of fine vacation rental properties! You will be in excellent hands with our professional staff, with many years of experience, drawn from Puerto Rico, the U.S. and Europe.

A 2-minute walk takes you to Ocean Park Beach.

The property itself is surrounded by plants and trees, and this has the effect of turning it into a small oasis for birds and a multitude of coquís, a small tree frog almost invisible to the eye (it is the size of a fingernail). The plants and trees help isolate any city noises, and the songs of the birds during the day and the coquís at night make you feel like you are in the countryside.
Pets - not allowed
Smoking - not allowed

The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Bring ear plugs!!

Our first night the house across the street blasted loud rap music until midnight. Every single morning there were construction noises starting at 0700 from the same house. The construction workers talking caused the dachshund on the patio of the house 30 feet behind our kitchen window to bark all day. The poor puppy howled all day to be let inside. The apartment itself was comfortable. The bedroom has two walls of windows and the third wall is a ceiling to floor mirror closet that reflected all the light. We covered as many of the windows with blankets as possible to make it dark enough to sleep. There was very little hot water pressure in the shower. Shampoo took forever to rinse out. Overall, I would not opt to stay here again. There are actually three rental units on the property. We found the entry gate left unlocked on multiple occasions. The largest unit was rented by a bachelor party group for a weekend. Nice kids, but again, a lot of noise!!

The property house was very clean outside and inside and pictures were accurate. Gated community with 24 hr guard both. The unit has a great AC units, microwave, electric stove, toaster and convection oven which we made use of, coffee maker, large fridge and two queen sized beds which one of them is in the main room and is folded straight up to the wall to look like large closet. There were beverages provided and some light cooking supplies and cleaning supplies. Plates, cups, mugs and kitchen utensils also included. Towels for the beach and for bathroom was enough and beach chairs and cooler also in the room along with a safe for valuables. Ocean park beach is nearby across Barbosa Park. A washer and dryer combo is available on the outside of the house inside a gate you have keys for to use. A parking spot is available for rental car with a large locked gate. Uber is very cheap to many places under $5 USD but I recommend on renting a small car to get around especially if you need to see Old San Juan as many of the streets are very small. We enjoyed the stay and no issues with mosquitoes or crawling insects or small lizards inside the unit or outside except for the street which you may see some large ones and wild chickens. There is a white and gray cat which is friendly and likes to walk up the steps and perch herself by the entrance door so be careful coming out. I would rent this again if we were to go to Puerto Rico again in the future. Personell available for anything where responsive immediately by phone call or text messages. Thank you.

Disappointed due to customer service

The unit was quaint, on our last night we experienced multiple issues with the unit and the lack of care was very disappointed. The toilet overflooded, the issue was called in early in the morning upon arriving at the unit in the afternoon the issue was not resolved. The company representative was very condescending with followed up on why the issue was not resolved. To top it all off we got locked-in, the lock broke. The response was very late at night but someone came to assist with the issue. I spoke to management about the issues, still awaiting a response.

Very nice, clean, close to Old San Juan, nice beaches, not far from the Airport.

Stayed 3 nights at Serena Alta, over the weekend. Apartment was just the right size for 2 people, clean, in a quiet neighborhood, although come Monday, when the neighbors go to work very early, their dogs start barking/yipping. It’s nice to have a gated property, but the gate to our parking spot was difficult to lock/unlock (just needs a different type lock). Also, the folks who were in the apartment downstairs parked diagonally, taking up both their space & ours, so perhaps it needs to be made more clear about which space belongs to whom. It was really nice to have beach towels & chairs available to use! Since there are so many keys required to open the various locks, it’d be helpful to have the keys labeled as to which lock they belong to. This was one of my first experiences with a VRBO, & I would certainly recommend it.
