About this property

DREAM ESCAPE - TWO BEDROOM OCEANFRONT SEAS THE DAY, THE OCEAN IS YOUR NEIGHBOR.

No doubt about it, staying in the Isla Verde area of San Juan is the place to be! This is just not a rental property for me, it is my second home, and was my primary home for many years. Just knowing that after a day of travel, your vacation home destination is just less than ten minutes away, once you arrive at Puerto Rico's International airport in San Juan, takes the stress away. Rental amount is includes: No strict check-in or check-out times, as long as it is not before 7:30AM and not later than 7:30PM. The apartment is lovely! What is so unique is that it is on the third floor! The view of the ocean and beach are in perfect line to the living room and dinning room. This amazing view just flows right into the beautiful decor of your home away from home. There are oil paintings throughout. It is elegantly furnished, with Rattan furniture in the living room and dining area. Anyone who comes over, immediately falls in love with the place. Everyone who has stayed, always returns. I also have an amazing Apartment Manager, Alberto. He is there for whatever needs and questions you may have. There are Hunter ceilings fans throughout. Air conditioning in the bedrooms. The apartment has been freshly painted with rich and bright colors such as reds, greens, and yellows. The bathroom is a newly renovated all Italian marble walk-in shower spa. It is located in between both bedrooms. The toilet and shower area can be made separate to the powder room, for dual person access. Closing one of the doors from a bedroom, becomes private to the next if you so desire. There is a beautiful reading room in the lobby with beach views. Security, and Office Administration is also located in the lobby. Pool is located in the back of the building and is private to the guests at the Racquet Club.

There is a parking space available if you decide to rent a car. The car rental place I recommend is Charlie Car Rental, located just blocks away and open 24 hours, as well as a 24 hour Walgreens with a pharmacy and a CVS right up across the street on the corner. Chairs and Umbrellas can be rented right outside in front of the building. This vast beach strip that you will be residing at gives you the luxury of walking to restaurants, shopping, 5-Star Hotel and Casinos, and Live entertainment. Great Day and Night-Life always at your disposal. Washer and Dryers are located on every even numbered floor. Machine money cards are available in the lobby next to the Administrator's office. A new inverter has been added for the living room. Very quiet, and comfortable.

great location

This was our first visit to Puerto Rico and we stayed for 2 weeks. Great location with ocean view, immediate beach access, and this Isle Verde apartment is ideally situated to explore Old San Juan and other points of interest on the island. Clean and comfortable.Friendly staff. Felt very safe in this area, especially with around the clock building security and entries were always locked. Pharmacy a block away with basic sundries, as well as other nearby conveniences. Owner and manager were both very easy to communicate with, very friendly/helpful, and responded very quickly. Thank you Yvonne and Alberto. Highly recommend.

The property was as described and just perfect! The location was great for walking to restaurants, shopping and the beach. The view was spectacular! We enjoyed the Alambique restaurant downstairs very much and definitely enjoyed the $5 mimosas! We went to old San Juan for a day and ate at El Jibarito restaurant that Yvonne recommended at it was delicious! I highly recommend this property and would stay again if we get back to Puerto Rico!

16th Birthday Getaway

We went to PR for 4 nights with our teenage grandson and Yvonne’s condo was perfect for us. We needed 2 bedrooms and oceanfront. The condo was extremely clean and felt very safe. It was a convenient location for our visit to the rainforest and to Old San Juan. The Kumo rooftop restaurant was delicious for dinner one night and the Ocean Breeze beach bar (2 buildings down at the Royal Sonesta) was a great choice for lunches walkable by beach. Would definitely stay here again. Also, we were allowed to stay the whole day of departure because we had a 9pm flight which was extremely convenient.

Fantastic Place to Stay

The Tropical Jewel was perfect for our 10-day stay in Puerto Rico. It was my husband, my brother and myself and the apartment was perfect and just the right size. It was stocked with anything you could need in the kitchen and also had beach towels and beach chairs we could use. The view from the living room was amazing and when we were in the apartment, that is where we sat, looking out at the water. Being on the 3rd floor made it was such an easy walk to the beach and also to many restaurants, bars, and a grocery store as well as a couple of casinos (if you're into that). And there are a couple car rental places close by which made it easy to rent a car for a few days while we were there. The owner was so responsive as was Alberto, the property manager. We would highly recommend renting this wonderful apartment!

Good 1st time experience

I had a good 1st time experience staying in a place other than a hotel. The host & condo manager were very nice & informative. The place was exactly as pictured & written about. The check in & out was smooth. The instructions, directions, & information was easy to follow. I felt very safe in the condo & the neighborhood. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area as well as enjoy the beach located right outside the condo. The communication was good & only a text/call away with a quick response. The recommendations give by the host were very informative & helpful. I enjoyed the ones we chose & wish I could've done them all honestly except didn't have time since I went for a wedding. I would absolutely stay again when I return to San Juan, PR. Thank you for a good experience. Rhonda

Wonderful condo

My two young kids and husband and I stayed for a week and absolutely loved it. The beach is gorgeous and is right outside your windows. The pool is nice because part of it is shaded at times and parts are sunny, so you kindof can choose if you want to be in the sun or shade. It’s an easy walk right across the street to rent chairs and umbrella for the day and go back and forth with young kids. We usually would go back inside for lunch and a quick nap then head back out. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook with. The second bedroom has a daybed that has a trundle under, so two kids sleep well in here. It’s a nice mile walk to the end of the beach and we did that every morning with the kids finding coconuts and seashells. I recommend renting a car at the airport and you have a gate opener and parking space that comes with the condo. Super easy and safe. There’s even a Costco that we got groceries at the beginning of the week. We did love the restaurant right below two floors down called Alambique. It was delicious and we ate there for lunch 3 times in a row, it was just that good! Highly recommend trying the local dish, a shrimp mofongo or rice and beans with red snapper. The host is very nice and responsive and cares very much that you enjoy your stay and have everything you need. We enjoyed it so much we will definitely be back! Thanks so much, Yvonne!

Simply Wonderful!

Our family of 4 (two adults, 2 teen boys) escaped the winter snow in the northeast and spent 5 nights at the Tropical Jewel. This property is owned by a lovely, caring, very helpful and responsive owner, Yvonne. The condo is perfectly situated facing the ocean. The photos on the site are accurate but the view from the sliding glass doors is something you need to experience for yourself! With the glass doors of the main living area open we felt like we were literally on the beach. What an amazing treat to have that view all day. The location of the condo is ideal; 10 minutes from the San Juan airport, in walking distance from restuarants, markets, liquor stores, convenenience stores, an ice cream shop, the car rental place, the El San Juan Hotel and Casino, the Water Beach Club and so much more. You do not really need to have a car if you stay here. There are taxis always available and the local bus is inexpensive and is close by. We did end up renting a jeep for one day and exploring the El Yunque rainforest and the easternmost tip of the island. There are 3 restaurants located directly underneath the condo. Our boys loved being able to get their own food and drinks and take it out on the beach. I recommend the strawberry mojitos at El Alambique! There are air conditioning units in each of the bedrooms which made sleeping pleasant and helped to drown out the sounds of pigeons who like to congregate near the window and coo early in the morning. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. We ate breakfasts and lunches at the condo and typically went out for dinners. In addition to El Yunque, we took a day trip to Old San Juan where we toured El Morro and soaked in the sights and sounds of the town. We would highly recommend dinner at AquaViva in Old San Juan. We would definitely recommend this property friends and relatives. We felt safe and secure with the condo security system and were happy to have a local contact, Francisco, (the owner's property manager) in the case of any questions or emergency that may come up. Overall, this is great property, is a very good value and has everything you could need to enjoy the beauty of Isla Verde and beyond.

Fantastic location and view!

While the condo building itself shows a little age, Yvonne's unit itself was immaculate and perfect for our family of four. The beach/ocean view from the living room can't be beat, and the location allows for walking to numerous activities in San Juan. The beach was perfect for hanging out and swimming. The 24-hr pharmacy / grocery store across the street was very helpful as well. And being literally 10 minutes from the airport helps to limit the stress of travel to and from. Great communication throughout the process and an "in-person" check-in was very helpful.

Perfect Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Yvonne's place. You literally cross the street that has almost no traffic (it's a dead end) and you are on a beautiful, soft, sandy beach with warm water, medium waves and little undertow. Unit is very clean with some new items like beach towels. Temperature was always comfortable with the AC on and you can hear the waves if you open the windows. Others mentioned the noise from the two restaurants below, but we enjoyed the positive energy from hearing others having fun and their food is quite good. Puerto Rico is a gem if you do it right and this rental checks all of the boxes such as location, safety, cleanliness, cost, friendly people, and convenience. We mostly wanted to chill, so we did not rent a car. Just Ubered everywhere. It never took more than 5 minutes to get a ride and the cost was only 6 locally and about 16 to go into Old San Juan. If you do need a car, read the reviews before picking a rental company. You will probably end up with Charlie rental and remember to bring a copy of your auto policy with you. We hope to return, same time next year!!!

About the host

Hosted by Yvonne

Host profile image
I am a Broadcast Technical Director and Screenwriter. Mainly write mainstream Latino Films. I am an avid traveler, and enjoy different cultures, as well as, art and art history. I also own other properties that I rent out and am very in-tune to what makes guests feel happy. Prior to being in the Broadcasting field, I worked in hospitalities for the Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico. Making my knowledge even greater in providing fine comforts in one's vacation.

Why they chose this property

Actually, this rental property is actually my second home and treat it that way regardless of rentals. I lived in Puerto Rico for almost five years in the late eighties at the Racquet Club. This area is very special to me in all that it offers. So close to the airport, it's fabulous location and magical beach!

What makes this property unique

What I find that is most unique, is the offer of having best of both worlds! Relaxation or being in one of the centers of Puerto Rico's great day and night-life! The freedom of being able to walk to all sorts of sporting, shopping, dining, casinos, night-clubs, entertainment and pampering possibilities is just enormous!
