About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to the Lucky Penny!

Welcome to The Lucky Penny – your island paradise escape.
This 5,000-square-foot, three-level home sits just 50 steps from the beach and offers breathtaking rooftop views. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully decorated, every detail has been carefully curated to ensure a comfortable, unforgettable stay.
As our personal family residence when not rented, the home reflects warmth, care, and a deep attention to detail. Ideally situated in Ocean Park, you're just minutes from all the attractions.

You’ll have the entire three-story home to yourself, featuring 5 spacious bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, a dining table that seats 12, and a fully equipped chef’s kitchen. Multiple seating areas and expansive decks on the 2nd, 3rd, and rooftop levels offer plenty of space to relax. Enjoy a private, year-round heated pool—a true luxury in Puerto Rico—plus an outdoor dining area and BBQ.

Comfortably accommodating 10 guests, the home can sleep up to 14 with additional bunk beds. Each large bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, queen or king bed with memory foam mattresses, premium linens, and ample pillows. Bathrooms come with mirrors that feature built-in Bluetooth speakers. Every room has a 50" LED TV with Roku for Netflix, HBO, and live TV streaming. High-speed 2GB fiber optic WiFi covers the entire house.

Climate control is top-notch with inverter A/C units throughout, plus a full-home backup generator and water cistern for uninterrupted comfort and peace of mind.

The modern interior boasts Italian-imported porcelain tiles, triple-pane soundproof windows for coolness and quiet, and solid teak cabinetry handmade for the kitchen and bathrooms. High-end European fixtures add a touch of elegance. The massive kitchen island is perfect for gathering, and the second-floor lounge includes a pool table for entertainment. Furniture is from Pottery Barn, West Elm, or custom-made.

Ocean Park’s prime location sits between Isla Verde and Condado/Old San Juan, offering quick access (5-15 minutes) to top attractions and dining, while providing a safe, gated, and quiet residential neighborhood with 24-hour rotating security. Uber is plentiful and affordable if you prefer not to rent a car, though there’s a driveway with an automatic gate if you do.

For your convenience, the home includes beach essentials like chairs, umbrellas, towels, and coolers. Fully furnished and well-equipped, just let me know if you need anything else to make your stay perfect.

Please note, the pool is heated to a comfortable 86–88°F to ensure maximum enjoyment while maintaining balanced water chemistry. The entire pool is heated uniformly, so the smaller sitting area cannot be heated separately, though it does feature soothing bubbles for added relaxation.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 6 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms, a dining area, and a sitting area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and an LED TV with Netflix. The memory foam bed provides a full night's sleep and the bathroom offers hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fenced private yard.

Nice property. Very short walk to the (non-swimming) beach. Short drive to a beautiful swimming beach at Isla Verde. Well-equipped kitchen. Nice private pool. We really enjoyed the roof-top deck in the evenings. Host gave us some good recommendations for restaurants, private chef, and activities nearby.

Peter's home is a delight to behold. Our three generational family of 13 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There are so many spaces to comfortably spend time in, both indoors, out by the pool or in the shade on the patio, on the rooftop seating spaces - it is all wonderfully arranged. We appreciated having the 6 full bathrooms. The two on the first floor were especially helpful for the bunk room occupant grandkids, ranging in age from 15-25 - there was a boy's restroom and a girl's. The other 5 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms were top knotch too. We all also enjoyed the very close proximity to the beach for sunset views, seaglass & shell hunting, and even a refreshing quick dip in the water. We've all agreed we'd love to return and stay here again!

Great Place to Stay in San Juan

The Lucky Penny was a great place to stay for our group. The house was secure and a comfortable space to relax in. Peter and Mariana are amazing hosts. The house has a very convenient door leading to outside of the gate that makes getting an uber easy. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home with access to lots of activities

The Lucky Penny is a great home for a large group. The home is spacious and has a lot to offer (boogie boards, beach chairs, kitchen basics etc). Peter was extremely communicative which proved helpful when the city unexpectedly cut the water to the neighborhood. Peter and his property manager were quick to rectify the situation which was much appreciated! One note about the property is that some of the outdoor furniture has seen better days as some had mold on the cushions. Overall we would recommend the property!

Family Trip

Our entire group loved our stay in this beautiful home. It had everything you could need. Great dishes and pots and pans It was roomy enough for our group of 12 with plenty of room to spare. The beach was fun for the kids and boogie boards at the house came in handy for our kids (big and small). We loved the pool and hot tub. It was the perfect size for staying cool while visiting. It was crazy how cold the home got with the mini splits and how quickly it would cool off. he only downside was that our trip was too short. We would happily stay here again.

Puerto Rican Paradise Retreat

The house is better than advertised. Plenty of room for our group of 7 people. I believe you can host up to 12 people and not feel cramped. Location is great. The beach is maybe 100 feet, its that close. The house is in a gated community so the exterior gate allows you access without having to deal with the security gate. There is an exterior gate to an outside street which is outside the gated community. That exterior gate was very helpful to catch an Uber ride. Peter, the owner was very courteous and gives you lots of privacy. I highly recommend The Lucky Penny for your next vacation to Puerto Rico. You will not be disappointed!!

The place was very clean and well located near the beach. It was within 10 minutes of all things that we wanted to do in Puerto Rico. The owner was very accommodating and quick to respond to answer any questions we had. Each bedroom was beautiful. Even though there were six of us in the house, the noise levels always remained low. Will be back!!!

Another wonderful stay at the Lucky Penny

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the Lucky Penny, and it has been perfect each time. For this trip it was my wife and two 20 something sons with their girlfriends. The house is great to be able to hang out, enjoy the pool, the roof top deck and also big enough to escape if wanted. Peter was again very attentive and answered any questions before and during the trip within minutes of me asking. The house was spotless when we arrived, and they were accommodating for a couple small special requests. I'm looking for another reason to come back and enjoy the house again soon. Alex
