Oceanfront, Hear waves 24/7, 2 bedroom condo w full kitchen, Prime location

A spacious and clean 2 bedroom condo located directly on the beautiful Caribbean ocean! When we say directly, the property has no obstructing views, traffic noise or anything that separates you from the waves crashing on the beach below you! View all the majestic colors of the water from your private balcony with panoramic views. A stunning nature preserve located directly next to the condominium offers a soft sand beach to walk along, where the rainforest meets the ocean. In addition you have views of El Yunque Rainforest which adds to the majestic feel of the island. Our condo has a 24 hour security guard onsite and is a gated community. You have 1 covered parking space provided with rental. We have a property manager who will meet and greet you and answer any questions you may have upon your arrival. Early check-in and late check-out, when available, upon your request.
The condo has a Full Kitchen that has your cookware provided. We provide fresh flowers and organically grown seasonal fruit from a local farm. 1 bathroom with bathtub and shower. Clean Linens, bath towels, hangers, dresser with drawers in each bedroom, iron and ironing board, hair dryer are provided. Simple, sleek and clean living room that walks out to views that will take your breath away on your 11th floor balcony. Keep in mind there are only AC units in the bedrooms, but we have box fans and large sliding glass doors that you can open to allow airflow through living room. Master bedroom and guest bedroom both have views of the ocean and you can listen to the waves while you sleep. Beach towels, beach chairs and a cooler are provided. A soft sand beach that you can walk for miles on, surf lessons and swimming are steps away from the condo you will be staying in. Surf board and boogie board rentals are available a short walk down the beach as well as beach chair and umbrella rentals.
Our condo offers free wi-fi, a smart television with cable, air conditioning in bedrooms and a large community Laundry room on the main floor of condos.
You are located a 40 minute drive from the San Juan airport.
Luquillo is a charming and authentic surf town that has beautiful beaches and is only a 10 minute drive to El Yunque Rainforest. Cieba is a 25 minute drive away where you can take a ferry to Culebra or Vieques for a day trip and experience some of the top ranked beaches in the world. There are so many wonderful adventures to explore in this area! Non-chain restaurants, bars and convenience stores are walking distance from condo. Farmers markets, fresh produce stands, food trucks offering authentic Puerto Rican food and festivals are often times held at the Town Plaza which is a couple minute walk from condo. CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and other retail options are a 5 minute drive away for convenience.

***There is a slight possibility with updates being done to the buildings that the pool could be closed, but thankfully the beach is steps away!

ABOUT THE OWNERS AND WHY WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE AREA :
Our names are Beth and Skip and we have two sons Dominic (14 years old) and Roman (8 years old). We are from Minnesota where the arctic air often times out weighs the warm air! Puerto Rico is an incredible escape for us literally any time of the year with average temperatures between 80-90 degrees. We have traveled to many amazing places, but Luquillo Puerto Rico instantly had our hearts. The people of Luquillo are incredibly helpful and welcoming and the authentic vibe of Puerto Rico is strong. The magic of the Island for us is in the variety of activities it offers, it never gets repetitive. The ocean for us is healing with the sound of the waves crashing on the shore that you can hear from our condo, the soft sand our feet sink into as we walk along the beach and the fact that El Yunque Rainforest (the only tropical rain forest in the US Forest System) is visible from our condo and only a 10 minute drive away makes our location absolutely perfect! Majestic and lush the rainforest offers so much to explore with hiking and searching for the off beaten paths that lead to waterfalls! Another beautiful nature attraction is the Bioluminescent Bay in Fajardo, which is a 20 minute drive from our condo!
Even if we want a day to stay in and relax we can still feel apart of all the beauty that surrounds us by lounging on the balcony and watching the changing of the tide and the captivating sky where we often see rainbows and stars so bright it looks like we can reach out and touch them.
2 years ago when we purchased this unit it was listed on Airbnb for the last 5 years with a 4.9 Star review rating.
We would love to make our home away from home YOUR home anytime you are here!

****Due to Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico very hard a couple of years ago our buildings are currently being repaired. There may be some unexpected issues that go along with construction. Please keep in mind you are on a tiny island in the middle of the Caribbean Ocean and living amongst locals. Luquillo is not a tourism hub, it is a surf village filled with amazing character. The pool is sometimes unexpectedly closed due to construction, but the ocean is just steps away! Weather, construction and power outages are unpredictable and can happen at any time.

VRBO Rental Review - Puerto Rico Anniversary Trip ⭐ We booked this VRBO rental in Puerto Rico for our anniversary, but it was not what we expected. The photos seemed enhanced, hiding the true state of the property. Upon arrival, we were greeted by about 50 cats at the front gate, and the security guard wasn’t really “securing” anything and didn’t have info on any of the units. The parking garage was dimly lit, and the building showed signs of age and storm damage. Despite this, we remained hopeful for the inside of the unit. Unfortunately, the elevators were extremely old and even misled us about the floor we were on. The living room had a plastic fan attempting to cool down the space, & the balcony view was far from the beautiful photo online. In the first bedroom, the window unit appeared to have mold extending from the bottom up towards the bunk beds and ceiling. There were also open and used condiments left in the fridge, & the freezer racks were rusted. To top it off, we saw several small insects around the kitchen stove, counters, & sink. We took video of this in case of dispute. We notified the host the same day, but the owners didn’t respond to VRBO for a week as they were vacationing in Alaska. We paid for 5 nights including a cleaning fee to only received a refund for only 2 nights!! We had to spend more money booking our stay elsewhere. We could’ve celebrated our anniversary abroad for what we ended up spending on this trip. NEVER AGAIN!!

First time in PR
The building where we stayed was pretty old, needing some upgrades for sure. The balcony rails looked old and unsafe. That being said the apartment was quite comfortable, everything we needed was available to us, it was clean. The part of town the building was located in was run down, but that could be due to past storms. We did not feel unsafe. The west part of town is charming, has many good restaurants and pretty beaches. The folks in town were very nice and hospitable… we enjoyed waking up to the sounds of waves… nice place, beautiful island! we loved Puerto Rico and we will be coming back again! Thanks so much.

Perfect location & well-equipped
The best part about this property is the location. It's right on a gorgeous beach (just an elevator ride and a set of stairs away). There are many restaurants within easy walking distance. The condo also had everything we could have possibly wanted (beach toys, boogie boards, tupperware, beach chairs, reusable grocery bags). It's one of the best equipped places we have ever stayed. We had the best communication of any VRBO stay with this host. She contacted us a week before arrival not only with check in information but also with information about the area. She provided additional information on the day of check in and touched base with us several times during our stay. The only word of caution I would provide is to families with small children: the balcony is in a state of disrepair (part of being so close to the ocean). This is a safety concern for families with young (impulsive) children. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.

Relaxing vacation
The condo was perfect for our vacation, it was right where an endless beach for walking stretched one direction and the other direction the beach passed in front of the town. It was easy to walk to multiple restaurants, close to groceries and convenient for visiting the rain forest and other attractions. Inside the condo was very clean, comfortable and well kept. There were plenty of towels and things for the beach. The exterior of the building and neighborhood shows wear from past hurricanes but all the people we encountered were very friendly and the area felt safe.

Our own piece of paradise.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our recent stay in Luquillo. The host, Monica was more than gracious, responsive and informative. The property was exactly as described; all the comforts and amenities of home. I've seen other reviews that say that the building is well past it's prime, but don't let that deter you from booking at Sandy Hills. The apartment and the entire building were very clean, and secure. The stunning ocean views from the private balconies speak for themselves. The building is steps off from a very secluded beach and just a short walking distance from numerous restaurants and bars. We rented a car and it's a quick drive to gas stations, grocery stores, pharmacies, Beaches and El Yunque.

Ocean spa on the balcony!
We loved the balcony especially, with the sound of the crashing waves and the beautiful view of the greenery and golden sand. We also enjoyed that we could walk to bars/restaurants. The many gates/security made it difficult for the family to move about independently (should have asked for an extra set of keys). We couldn't swim at the beach as it was too rough but enjoyed sitting on the beach and watching the waves. The property manager was amazing.

Walking from the parking lot to the condo is definitely a challenge as other reviews of pointed out, but you get used to it. The immediate culture around the condos is definitely worth this day. The buildings are a little dated. However, the condo itself was very much remodeled and modern. The host was very prompt with any and all concerns and was especially helpful prior and during our stay. The location was perfect and allowed you to have quick access to the popular touring areas on the island versus staying in San Juan. Several casinos were located throughout the area I would go to tropical.

Great beach stay
We loved that the apartment building was right next to a 2 mile stretch of beach that was also a national park so no development and at times it felt we had the beach all to ourselves. We did need a car to get groceries, but many options 5-10 minutes away. The property manager Monica was helpful and responsive. Great place for a relaxing hang out at the beach vacation. Loved the porch!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was wonderful to hear the waves constantly crashing against the shore. The view from the balcony is amazing and the location is perfect for exploring the east side of Puerto Rico. Monica was an excellent host. She provided great suggestions for exploring the island and responded promptly when we had a question about the internet. The apartment was clean and we appreciated the beach toys and towels. Would diffinently stay hear again.

Good Value in a Good Location
Very clean condo with outstanding ocean views. Basic, secure building in working-class neighborhood. We liked the "local vibe" with the stray cats and chickens around, but it's not for everyone. This was our first trip to PR and we are glad we chose this place. We wanted a genuine PR experience not a sanitized resort and we appreciated the easy beach access and the ability to see and mix with the local townspeople. It's a quick drive to beautiful Loquillo Beach and the kioskos. The rain forest and Fajardo excursions are also not far. We always looked forward to returning to this quiet and comfortable condo at the end of the day. It's a bit of a challenge to first negotiate the layout of the parking garage and buildings but it's easy soon enough. Would not hesitate to book here again.

Waves 24-7!!! ❤️
The view from here is unbeatable and the short amount of time to walk from condo to the ocean was no more than 5 min. They do lock the gates at 6 but it only takes about another 5 min to walk around the building and be right there!!! The parking was not as terrible as made out to be! There was pleanty of food in walking distance and the condo itself was easy to be comfortable in. I was slight disappointed about there not being the fruit and flowers as the description on line said as I keep these at home and thought it would be a nice touch , HOWEVER this stay was so relaxing and we would definitely come back!!

Our unit has an amazing view of the ocean. It has all the amenities and comfort we needed during our stay. Online listing is very accurate. Thank you for providing plenty of bath and beach towels. The condo is a short drive to everything. There are grocery stores, pharmacies and lots of restaurants nearby. If you’re planning to visit El Yunque, Carabali rainforest adventure (highly recommend), bio bay tour, snorkel tour and nice beaches, it’s less than 20 minute drive. San Juan, Old San Juan and airport is just 40 minute drive. Monica, our host is wonderful. She communicated everything from checking in and out, parking arrangement and gave listings to explore on the island. In the beginning, I was having second thoughts about staying in Luquillo but glad we did. We enjoyed our stay and I recommend this condo. Puerto Rico did not disappoint!

Wonderful View but Beware of Parking Situation
I’d like to start off saying the view & cleanliness of the apartment is wonderful. Plus the layout is great. Property manager was extremely helpful and kind (also super easy to get a hold of!) - however no one mentioned it is a FAR walk (through a dark parking garage) from the assigned parking spot to the front door, also you have to walk slightly uphill for a portion of it. In the PR heat, was not fun. Especially getting back at night. The building is very old so the elevators are very sketchy (you get to your destination eventually) but I did have a mild panic attack trying to follow the instructions given. To my luck, Security guard saw me on the camera panicking and called me to help me. Like I said, the balcony view and apartment interior is great & super clean. But the building and parking situation made me want to stay elsewhere in the future.
