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.

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 hostā€™s second home. The listing is 100% accurate, however weā€™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.

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 youā€™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.

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. Itā€™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 CarabalĆ­ 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 hadnā€™t happened before. We loved our stay and canā€™t wait to return!

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 Williamsā€™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!!
