About this property

Entire place

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

5 min walk to a beautiful beach and a big shady park! 25min walk to Old San Juan

Welcome to the Tropical Pod! Your private entrance is to the right of the middle main door. Please find the lockbox on the white metal gate. Use the code to both open and close the lockbox.

This quiet two bedroom comfortably sleeps four people, the maximum this condo allows. Sleeping accommodation for an infant/s can be arranged at no extra charge.

At the back of the apartment you will find a lovely, private patio. As you are on the first floor, there are no steps to conquer with luggage. I love using good quality sheets for my guests and the kitchen has all you need for cooking. One bath and one beach towel will be available per person.

You will find shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap in the shower rack holder. There is an iron and ironing board, fire extinguisher under the kitchen sink, first aid kit in the lower bathroom drawer and many other amenities.

Located within walking/uber distance to the Old San Juan, Condado, Miramar and Santurce where you will find many options for dining, museums, galleries, meet up locations for island tours and countless other discoveries. The average uber ride to Plaza Colon, Old San Juan is $5, or if you walk at a leisurely pace along the ocean (gorgeous views) you will arrive at the entrance of the Old City in 25 minutes. The apartment is located 1/2 block from ocean views and a bike path, and it is a 5 min walk to one of the best beaches in the San Juan area, El Escambron. You are steps away from a beautiful large park (great for kids as it hosts big walking paths and a playground) the Hilton hotel, hosting restaurants and the Olas Spa. Other modalities of transport: electric scooters +buses. New restaurants have opened up nearby, for example: Tostados (breakfast+lunch) and Celeste (expensive and yummy french food).

This is a much loved home so please treat it with respect. Thank you.

Call me upon arrival if anything is amiss or if you have any questions. And please provide arrival and departure times so I can create work flow for my cleaning team. If you arrive after sun down, I will have my cleaning pro leave the outside light on for you.

This apartment is in a building that has full-time tenants and other rental units; following the golden rule of respectfully quiet between 10pm and 8am is required.

Before departure, if your trash bag is full, please take your garbage down and across the street (there is a bin on the bike path). Check out is at 10am. Check in is at 2pm.

Golden rule: Please turn off anything not in use except the Wi-Fi and fridge. Keep lower chamber of water Berkey filter system 2/3 full.

Thank you,
Your host,
Rebecca

This is a well-equipped, well-located base of operations for a San Juan vacation. Its close (easily walkable) proximity to a pleasant public beach is a major plus; the water and sandy bottom are lovely. Excellent beds and laundry facilities.

Great place to stay in San Juan

We had a great stay here. The location was perfect; we walked to Old San Juan, Santurce, Escambron beach, and lots of great restaurants. The condo was clean and comfortable, and Rebecca was extremely responsive if we needed anything.

Close to the beach

The best thing about this stay is the host, Rebecca. She is super responsive and eager to make your stay special. The location is between Old San Juan and Condado…so both are easy to get to via Uber. The beach (El Escambron) was easy to get to and is walkable. The place was very clean and as described. Loved the patio out back with the lights. A great place to wind down with a glass of wine at the end of a busy day.

We enjoyed our stay in this pleasant, clean, well-appointed apartment. The location is close to a beautiful beach, and a pleasant walkway to San Juan’s historic district. Our host was very responsive when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again!

We were two couples and found the property to be just what we wanted. Nice walking distances to beaches and old San Juan. The interior patio was where we spent a lot of enjoyable time. The host was terrific, quickly responsive, essential items all on hand including milk and beer in the fridge on arrival. The property was in excellent condition. It is an urban area, like all of San Juan, and the noise level was as expected for the location. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
