Oceanview Retreat, Stunning Ocean Views, Pool, & Walk to Beach & Dining

Isla Bella is located in the center of the Isla Verde tourist area, which is within less than 10 minutes from the airport. You can literally go from your airplane to Isla Bella, change and be on the beach in less than 20 minutes! The building has direct access to the beach, plus it features a full-size 25-meter fresh-water swimming pool and lounging area.

This is another fine property brought to you by The Marco Polo Collection, a collection of fine vacation rental properties! You will be in excellent hands with our professional staff, with many years of experience, drawn from Puerto Rico, the U.S. and Europe.

A great number of restaurants, offering anything from local foods to pizzas to sushi and steak houses, and several major casinos are, are within 300 yards, which is easy walking distance.

The largest local car rental company, which usually has the best deals on the island, is right across the street, as is a bank and Walgreens, which is open 24/7. Two supermarkets (also open 24/7) are also close by.

Although you can find everything within walking distance, there is a bus stop right out front of the building which has buses that go all the way to Old San Juan, so a car-less vacation is definitely feasible.

If you decided to rent a car, there is also Charlie Car Rentals right in front of the building, and an underground parking space will be provided for guests.

Great place to stay!
The security for the property was great, which even though it's in a great neighborhood, made us feel very comfortable letting our teen go down to the pool solo :) Location and view can't be beat. Amazing food right across the street. Spent a LOT of time on the balcony! -up on Rum

We were highly satisfied with our stay. The view was breathtaking, it was walking distance from a local supermarket, a Walgreens and some restaurants. They were kind enough to leave us some refreshments to get us through the night when we arrived. The apartment wasn’t modern which is why I gave a 4 star rating, otherwise it would be a 5 star place. I would definitely bool here again!

Comfortable & well located apt
Nice apartment in great location near airport, restaurants and short ride to Old San Juan. Apt was well stocked (thank you for the bread, eggs, cheese and milk!) and had a nice view of beach and water. There is some construction going on in the small building between the apt and the beach, so hammering etc from about 7:30 on each morning despite a supposed rule saying 8am (front desk said they had no control over it). The apt is perfect for up to 4 people, it would be tight to have more, with only 1 bathroom and a small living area.

Great view and location!!
Enjoyed our visit to this area. The condo fit our needs very well. Previous comments about dated furniture and linens were accurate. (need to be replaced) A nice bonus was to find a small amount of groceries and beverages in the refrigerator upon check in. The door wall was a bit noisy with the whistling of the wind coming through. The landscaping and grounds around the pool area was well kept and nicely maintained. We would definitely return.

We had a good stay here. The location, check in process, facilities were great. Just walk in to the beach. Out apartment faced the ocean so was nice to sit in the balcony. Everything in the apartment was good , just the bed linens and sofa were a bit worn so may need updating.

Judith displayed remarkable hospitality, friendliness, and a willingness to address any inquiries. The location was outstanding. Going forward, a two-bedroom setup is my preferred choice for my son and me. There were an abundance of necessary provisions, and the beach view and beach access were flawless.

The location was great! Right on the beautiful Carolina beach! Easy to walk to restaurants, Walgreens, car rental and easy for Uber drivers to find us and pick up right in front. The apartment is older and could use a bit of updating/repair but we were only there to sleep. The views from each room were AMAZING!!!! Communication with the property manager was awesome! Beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels are provided or rent them on the beach for a low price for the whole day.

The view from balcony was amazing. Good air-con. throughout. Well equipped kitchen -though had to request a kettle and the hob was cracked. Plenty of towels etc for bathroom. The welcome pack of drinks, coffee etc was appreciated. Interior could do with painting. Door locks were awkward to operate at times. Excellent accommodation overall!

Great location and amazing view
After longing to visit Puerto Rico for some time, my family and I finally decided to go there for spring break. We chose Isla Verde as our destination and were pleased to find that the property we rented was clean and well-maintained, offering stunning views from the patio. It was truly delightful to enjoy our morning coffee while taking in the beautiful sea views and listening to the soothing sound of the waves. We were grateful to the property owners for their thoughtfulness in stocking some basic groceries. As we arrived early in the morning, we didn't have to worry about rushing to the grocery store right away.

We loved our stay at Isla Bella. The location was absolutely perfect. Close to the airport, 20 minutes from OSJ, 20 minutes from isolated beaches. We rented a car and it was so convenient to park in our designated spot and explore the area. Stunning views, tons of convenience, zero waits on elevator, easy trash drop, washer and dryer, completely safe and secure. I really can’t say enough positive things about this property. We were a family of 4 with two older teen children. Great for our family.

Really found the location to beach and pool ideal. Property was very clean and secure. Very appreciative of the startup groceries. Thank you. Communicstion with property management wasn't very good. Had mentioned that communication needed to occur with WhatsApp, but texts were sent via phone (which was non functional), so they neither got my messages, nor we theirs. Frustrating. Suite needs a cutting board and some cleaning supplies to clean sink, etc if you are staying more than a few days. Like fresh air rather than AC, but the howling of the wind in the rooms at night is unbelievable. House book needs to be updated. Some of the restaurants lusted are permanently closed (eg Il Nonna). Wished there were more restaurants nearby, though Hitties was excellent. Overall, good place to stay.

Fantastic view
This place was fantastic for our family. The bathroom is small and the kitchen could use some updating, but it was comfortable and the view was fantastic. Because this condo is on a top floor there is a great breeze. We were able to open the step out porch doors and leave them open.

This property was very comfortable for 4 adults enjoying a week in Puerto Rico. The vrbo is within walking distance of restaurants, super markets, and the beach. The hosts included many amenities that made our stay more comfortable, including beach chairs and a cooler. And it was very nice to drink coffee on the porch over looking the beach every morning.

Had a great week in Isla Verda Puerto Rico. The Isla Bella is a nice condo, suited our needs for 4 people, great view. Very convenient to beach, pool, Walgreens and local restaurants. Hotties for Seafood. Not very crowded and very quiet when we were there. Weather was perfect. Easy to catch local bus, but bring your coins. Only accepts coins 75 cents. Or rent a car from Charlie across road, or take Uber
