Honeymoon/ First time in Puerto Rico

The property is right on the beach and the balcony view is great. We stayed for a week and this is a prime location for anyone staying in san juan for a teip. The property is within walking distance of many eatery/ drink spots and if you are traveling to other spots, its a short uber ride from many of the destinations you might be seeing. Overall Elsa is a very commincative host and the property manager Mr. Ramos is very friendly and easily approachable for any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay - highly recommend

We had a wonderful week at The Happy Place. The view of the ocean is spectacular. The waves are nature's sound machine, creating a peaceful relaxing environment for sleeping. The building is very secure, fenced and gated, with a secure elevator. The neighborhood is lots of fun, lively with restaurants galore. Overall a great stay - highly recommend.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We had such a phenomenal time here at this apartment right on the beach! Excellent location, walkable to lots of restaurants/bars, short Uber ride to Old San Juan. Host was very responsive and the property manager was on site, extremely friendly and welcoming, available to assist with anything as needed such as providing extra supplies (trashbags, soap, etc.). Parking spot included, felt very secure/safe with a gated entry. Such a gorgeous view, right on the beach-The pictures truly don't do it justice! Highly recommend this incredible place for your time in Puerto Rico.

The property is gated, secure, and maintained. The personnel on location were professional, helpful, committed, and returned calls or text immediately. The property owner, although not on site, was on top of everything. Also, answered all text or calls immediately. Very tentative!!!
