Nice apartment! Bottom floor has kitchen, dinig room, living area, ½ bathroom and 2 balconies. Top floor has bedrooms, full bathroom, indoor living area and ample outdoor terrace. All areas are equipped with A/C units, but there is such a nice breeze that we barely used them. William was a friendly host and very accomodating. Would stay again… Recommended!!!

You can’t see the beach but it is pool front. The unit is big and convenient. The beach was dirty-there was a dead rat on the beach.

Spacious stay steps away from a gorgeous beach

Our family of 4 comfortably stayed in the apartment which was well appointed and near the beach of your dreams. The check-in was easy and William was responsive when we needed anything or had questions. I would stay here again and again

Spacious condo at the beach

This quiet condo property with a large central swimming pool is situated in a great location for travelers looking to drive to local attractions and nearby towns. A gate on the property leads to a nearly private beach that's great for beach walks and a dip in the waves.

Large space with a great host! Plenty of outdoor space and great pool area-also right on the water. Also “bonus “ space with tv which was great for our young kids at night.Only complaint is that the beds weren’t the most comfortable for adults. That being said I know there was a power surge that cause air conditioning in some rooms not to work so host was gracious enough to offer other rooms. Overall a great space and again-William (host) was so great about communicating with us throughout our trip! Our kids can’t wait to come back!

Perfect

This unit was perfect for our family of 5 with kids of varying ages. Beautiful beach access steps away and a nice pool area right out the front door. Enough space for everyone to have some privacy. Close to many attractive activities without the hustle of San Juan. William is a great host and communicated well throughout the stay.

5 STARS all the way around!!

We had an incredible stay at this property! The condo was beautiful, spacious, and absolutely perfect for our family getaway. The pool was a great bonus, and being just steps from the beach made every day easy and relaxing. The golf course was only a quick 5-minute drive away, which was perfect for our group. The owner was fantastic with communication—super responsive and helpful throughout. We came down from Chicago to reconnect with my college teammates and their families, and it turned out to be one of the best Spring Break trips we’ve had. 5 stars all the way! Highly recommend!

Beautiful and Spacious

This spacious condo was tucked away on the shore of Rio Grande close to the border with Loiza. The whole place was filled with natural light and each room had its own AC. Multiple terraces afforded beautiful views of the inland mountains. Direct access to the community pool and private beach at the end of the property for those days you’re just too tired to explore. Located mid-way on the south side of the island, 45 minutes west of San Juan, less than an hour from the ferry to Culebra or Vieques. I would highly recommend this place for families looking to get away from the bustle and traffic of the big city.

Little spot located in Paradise

Overall the condo was nice and has everything you need. The location was excellent and communication with the host was exceptional. A miss on my part was assuming we had access to the whole condo. A portion is limited because this also serves as the host’s second home. The listing is 100% accurate, however we’ve stayed at Vereda de Mar several times in similar condos that proved access to a true master bedroom with additional bathroom. This was offset by a very nice build out of the patio that served as a family room and 3rd bed. It was a nice touch.

Oceanfront gem just outside El Yunque

We loved staying in this condo! The apartment itself was clean, had a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi and tv connections, comfy beds, and balconies everywhere. The grounds were well kept, there was a pool steps from our door, and the beach was a short walk away. Swimming is not advised at the beach, but we were happy to walk the sand and play in the surf. The location was perfect for adventures in El Yunque, and it was easy to get to both Fajardo and Old San Juan. With the help of an online restaurant search, and Williams’s document recommending local places, we easily found a nearby supermarket and a few restaurants for lunch or dinner. William checked in on us more than once during our stay, and he was quickly responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend this condo, and would definitely come back!!

Justina and family were a pleasure to host. Absolutely no issues came up and Justina treated our place as her own; after check out it was not obvious that we had a family stay. The condo apt was kept in optimum condition, for which we are grateful. We would love to once again host Justina in the near future, and highly recommend her and her family to other hosts. Happy to know Justina and her family enjoyed their stay in Puerto Rico, and our condo apartment. For the benefit of readers, the beach is accessible for use, which we all do; however, as with most natural beaches in the Caribbean, during certain times of the year swimming out a distance is not recommended.

William was a fantastic host - very responsive and provided lots of information about the property, check-in, the surrounding area, and even took pictures of some of the items in the house upon request.The condo is very spacious and bright - high ceilings and lots of windows/doors with access to multiple patio spaces. The bedroom set-up upstairs worked well for us.Our only negatives about the condo: 1) there is only one full bathroom, which was not ideal for all 4 of us to shower at the end of the day; and 2) the blinds are not blackout, so it gets very bright when the sun comes up, which makes it hard to sleep in. The location is fantastic - the pool is just as pictured and we had it all to ourselves for most of the trip. The beach is right at the edge of the property with private access and is absolutely amazing!! We also had the beach mostly to ourselves and it has to be the best beach I've ever been to! It is a very short drive to the Wyndham Rio Mar where we went to dinner a couple of nights. The pool is well-maintained, the basketball court is usable if you have a good basketball (the hoop is not set at regulation height); the tennis courts are pretty run down - a lot of overgrowth, making them not very usable, and the rackets provided were not great. So we might have used the recreation areas more if we had our own equipment and the courts were better maintained.

Wonderful place!

We loved the cleanliness, well-stocked home, and the location. We were 5 adults and 2 children and could easily fit in a few more with plenty of space. The home was stocked with lots of towels and essentials. It’s located in a safe community with access to tennis courts (rackets in closet), pool (beach chairs), and beach. Super close to El Yunque, Wyndham Rio Mar, outdoor sports at Carabalí Rainforest park. The landlords were very responsive and thoughtful. I told them it was our anniversary and we were welcome with a beautiful bottle of wine. We will totally book this place again when we return. Only minor inconvenience was lack of hot water the last few days. Likely due to a building issue since we saw maintenance working on the electrical panel of the building- landlord was super apologetic noting it hadn’t happened before. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return!
