Perfect location with great amenities

The condo was perfect for our family of 6. The kitchen is well stocked and across the street from a grocery store. My kids really enjoyed the pool, tennis courts, and basketball courts. And the location -- 5 minutes from Luquillo Beach, 15 to El Yunque, and easy access to the highway. Plus, you can't beat the view of the beach from the patio!

We had a wonderful trip and our host was very attentive and helped us find places to enjoy locally. We lost power hours before leaving and the host immediately tried to assist when we determined the flashlight on premises was faulty. Fortunately the power came back on quickly and we were worried for naught. I would recommend this property. It’s not overly fancy but it is a great spot, safe, clean and near to all the attractions. One thing to make sure to note, there is only AC in the bedrooms, and it can get warm in the living room/kitchen, but the fans help to circulate the air some of you leave the bedroom doors open.

Miriam was so easy to work with! When the power went out in PR she was very communicative and thoughtful. Her condo is in a great location if you’re planning to explore. 10 minutes to El Yunque, 45 minutes into Old San Juan. Lots of great restaurants down the street and 15 mins from Ceiba ferry.

I love this side of the island. Luquillo Beach is my favorite and this was central to other hot tourists sites like El Yunque, Old San Juan and more. The host was very easy to get a hold of, helpful and responsive. Would stay again.

Beautiful, roomy apartment completely updated

Beautifully renovated, roomy, clean apartment just steps from the beach. Everything was perfect. The views from the flat are spectacular. When you are not on the beach, enjoy finding swimming holes in El Yunque. We highly recommend this apartment and Luquillo for your vacation.

Winter Escape

We had a lovely relaxing vacation from winter at the beautiful Playa Azul!l penthouse apartment! The accommodation had everything we needed to enjoy all the amenities and views of Playa Azul. We got plenty of exercise on our daily walks along the beautiful beaches of Luquillo. Host were quick to respond and to assist with all our needs. I look forward to another winter break!

Great location

You can't beat this location for all the good things Puerto Rico has to offer. We enyoyed the beaches, rain forest and a day trip to Culebra. Two days were spent exploring Old San Juan's history and cuisine. This penthouse condo is not fancy, but has plenty of space and all the conveniences, except wifi. We particularly liked the balcony view from the of the ocean in one direction and the rain forest in the other. We'd choose this condo again.

Really is a home away from home

The place was so close to the beach and pool both accessible until 7 pm from a private gate. The apartment was so warm and welcoming. The sunrise and sunset were a thing of beauty right from your balcony. Every town was pretty accessible from we were. The amount of beauty and nature that surround you daily is truly amazing. My host was wonderful, great communication. Hopefully do this again soon

Such a lovely place!

I couldn't have asked for a better location to stay for my first visit to the island in 47 years! The layout of the place was as advertised. The sweeping views from the penthouse were gorgeous, the place was clean and well-maintained although some of the appliances need to be replaced. Regardless, it's a minor inconvenience as I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place as I plan to return next year and I plan to stay at this location once again!

Perfect Location

This condo was a perfect location for us. We stayed two weeks and didn't have a car. Everything we wanted was within walking distance: grocery, drug store, American fast food, and Puerto Rican restaurants. Every day we spent time at the beach...sand and palm trees. We ate on the balcony and watched the waves. The condo is well stocked with beach gear. Miriam was the perfect host, although we didn't need anything! We certainly hope to return. Thank you, Miriam!

Beautiful place to stay on Playa Azul Beach

This was a PERFECT place to stay in Luquillo. We had our entire family stay in this 2 bedroom apartment and the 3 bedroom apartment next door. This apartment has been beautifully updated with modern bathrooms and a clean, cool kitchen. The view of the ocean is amazing, the living/dining room is roomy. The beds were very comfortable. The entire apartment was immaculate. We highly recommend visiting El Yunique and finding the incredible swimming holes, as well as floating on the most perfect ocean waves in world. Only 40 minutes from the airport, Playa Azul's beach is virtually empty of people- giving you a quiet, peaceful experience. We highly recommend this apartment for your stay.

Wonderful condo for our family of three.

We stayed at the condo for 5 nights during Christmas. The condo was wonderful to come back to after spending the days out exploring. It is cleaned, organized and very well equipped. Miriam was quick to respond to any questions that I had before and during the stay. The condo is gated and secured. The location is excellent and on our most favorite beach, Luquillo. We fell in love with Puerto Rico, its culture, history, and especially…the people. Everyone we met is so friendly and kind. The food is also an absolute hit! Puerto Rico has a place in our hearts. We are already planning to come back and would not hesitate to rent Miriam’s condo again. Thank you again for everything.

Condo at Playa Azul III in Luquillo

I just got back from staying at this beautiful condo in Luquillo owned by Mrs. Otero, and words don't do justice to this place. It is awesome, I am already thinking of rebooking. Its the perfect just like home, everything is close by in regards to food, supermarket, walgreens, walmart. The condo was very spacious and we are a family of 4 with one guest, Miriam made sure everything was provided. I had no issues, everyone was friendly and everything is close. The beach is only a couple of feet away as well as the pool and it is nice and quiet. The view from the Penthouse is magnificent. Great Stay. Thank you Miriam for sharing your beautiful condo with us and we hope we can come visit and stay another time. Mrs. M. Alvarado

It never gets old...

After a long absence of 47 years, I went back to Puerto Rico last year. I got to stay in this wonderful condo and had a great time with my family. I figured, this can't get any better. Well, I was wrong. I went back to this condo this year and it was exponentially better! New appliances and an awesome dining room table greeted me. Needless to say, I had a great time, yet again. The sweeping views of the island, the amenities and the nearby restaurants have me making this a yearly sojourn. If anyone is thinking of going out to Puerto Rico, make it a point of staying at this condo. You cannot go wrong.

About the host

Hosted by Miriam Otero

Host profile image
Married for over 35 years. Born and raised in New York. We purchased our second home to be closer to family and to learn more of our heritage. We love to travel and enjoy experiencing new cultures.

Why they chose this property

This location is ideal! It's steps to the beach, 24 hour security, It is 5 minutes from the great food at the Kiosks, 15 minutes from the rain forest (El Yunque), and 20 minutes from Fajardo where you can enjoy fine dining and shopping, 40 minutes form Old San Juan with its historical sights and plenty of wine, dine and shopping. Also, near to Kayaking, jet skiing, zip lining and horseback riding.

What makes this property unique

What makes this place special is the fantastic view and sounds of the ocean. Night or day it provides you with a peaceful environment that can melt your stress away. Just sit on the balcony and your breath will be taken by the excellent water views.
