Coastal Puerto Rican Apartment - Walk to Beach!

Reviews

• Hidden Gem in Rio Grande

  5/5

  Amazing, is all I can say. It is the perfect spot for rest and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of San Juan. The beach is a short walk from the property which my guests enjoyed. It was even fun with rain in the forecast, as the board games the host provided, kept us busy! I would definitely stay here again!

  William did an excellent job at communicating with us. The check in and out process was a breeze. The condo had everything we needed!

  5/5

  We are a family of six, kids ages 3-10. The apartment has the basics and is overall clean, safe, organized, and comfortable. Provisions were a bit lacking considering the duration of our stay (1 roll of paper towels, 2 garbage bags for 10 days, no tea or creamer, very limited sugar and coffee) and there was no housekeeping (if you are accustomed to this on vacations). Bring or purchase a lime squeezer for mojitos; there is a blender for pina coladas. There is a beach cart, however with little kids I would’ve preferred a wagon. I would recommend bringing plastic/nonbreakable kid safe plates/bowls and your own snorkeling gear. The beach chairs provided are OK but everyone around us had folding Adirondack chairs which would’ve been personally preferred. The apartment deck view is of the pool but the complex has Mountain Views and is a bit of a walk to the ocean. The beach is beautiful with soft sand (water shoes not necessary) but unfortunately the shower for washing off the sand does not work well and there is no shower outside the apartment. The pool was perfect for the kids, bring their life jackets (and or floaties). Again the shower by the pool did not work well (drain clogged and very little water) and the bathroom is in the apartment. We lost water for 18 hrs but there is an emergency tank in the apartment with instructions on use. Shopping at the store near the apartment is convenient but a-lot more expensive than if you went to a local grocery or big box store a few more miles away. These things are just knit-picking but I thought the info might be helpful to others considering staying here. This is a beautiful location to pull out the hammock, relax under the beach umbrella, hunt for sea shells and sand dollars, and bond with the family. Overall I’d rate this experience a 4.8/5 and I would recommend this place to others.

  From the owner: "Hi Nicole! Thank you for your comments and suggestions, we greatly appreciate feedback, as it makes us better hosts. We contacted the community maintenance office, and they fixed a broken waterline in the pool shower. We also stocked the basic supplies. We are looking into obtaining a wagon for the convenience of families with small children. Thank you and see you again!"
