The property is immense and location prime. The beach is conveniently a few steps away and eateries are plentiful. The host was very cooperative and helpful, creating a pleasant atmosphere for the entire family. In addition, the property was cozy, well-stocked, and had the perfect layout for spending time with friends and family. Overall, a great place to enjoy Puerto Rico.
Great location right on beautiful Isla Verde beach. Unit as advertised. Unfortunate that the pool and hot tub were under repair, but a 5 minute walk to the El San Juan hotel with all its amenities. We would stay here again.
We had a great time in Isla Verde/Carolina. Lots of restaurants near condo and directly on the beach. Host Maxine was very accommodating and responsive. Will definitely stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I truely enjoyed the stay in this property. It was unfortunate that the pool was still under constructions but the beach was very close and I walked on the beach almost everyday! I also had a nice run to Piones in the mornings. The property owner was very responsive and helpful.
Very good property that is being renovated. Room is older but clean. Beds are decent. Great AC! All appliances work and having two showers is nice after the beach.
I love the layout of the property, just need some updates and supplied with essentials. Maxine is great owner, easy to talk to, and welcomed suggestions.
Our family enjoyed our stay. The condo offers access to nice pool and beach and is close to restaurants, activities and San Juan. Lobby of building and pool area are nice but the rest still shows some signs of hurricane damage (nothing overly significant). When you arrive definitely ask for towel cards and wristband for access to beach - we went a couple days without those because we didn’t specifically ask for them. Overall an enjoyable stay.
Maxine is a great hostess, she is very accommodating and gracious! We had a great time in Isla Verde. The beach and pool were right there and so much fun! The hotel is still being remodeled but we were not inconvenienced by it at all. The apartment is very comfortable and had plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and 2 teens. Thank you Maxine, we hope to be back soon!
The property owner is very accessible and friendly, which makes all the logistics very easy to deal with.
As for the property itself, you have the beach right outside the gate, a well-kept and large pool on the 1st floor, a supermarket only a 5-minute walk from the property, and multiple restaurants all next door. You cannot beat this location if you want to avoid having a car in San Juan.
Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Puerto Rico, as this place will make your stay east, comfortable, and pleasant!

Gorgeous and spacious beachfront apartment with pool, jacuzzi and hotel lobby! Can’t ask for more!!
We had a wonderful time, the apartment is spacious, fully equipped, the beach is great and the pool and jacuzzi are new! We had everything we needed plus the owner was very caring all the time. Highly recommended for families or group of friends. Location is priceless close to everything you may need. Some renovations are in progress around the building but without any burden to visitors. We will definitely come back!!
Family of 7 in Puerto Rico for a week vacation. The condo was clean and spacious. I had minimal communication with my host which in my eyes is a good thing. Besides asking for towels I didn’t have any issues to discuss with her.
Location is perfect. Pool on site and a 3 min walk to the beach. Restaurants and shops within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location and Beautiful, Spacious Condo
My husband and I have been vacationing in Isla Verde since we were married 38 years ago and have stayed many times in this condo-hotel. Our adult children decided to join us this time with our grandson and the space was perfect for them, beyond everyone's expectations. The unit has an extended patio overlooking the pool with a view of the beach and ocean, an updated kitchen, two bathrooms, and laundry. The owner was very responsive. Highly recommend!
Terrific location, nice view of pool and ocean, and short walk to beach. 3rd floor is convenient. Pool and beach do close early. Small store in building for essentials. There is a bar in lobby and at pool. Restaurants and grocery store within walking distance. Can rent chairs and umbrella at beach. Short Uber to Old San Juan is worth the trip. Unit is clean and has a lot of essentials for cooking, laundry, beach, etc; even a folding grocery cart for shopping. Enjoy.
The property was perfect. There is so much I love about the area. It is next door to the Fairmont, which was ideal as it's my favorite hotel in San Juan, also where I book cabanas on weekends with my kids. It has a beautiful, sandy beach, great for running or lounging on the sand or swimming in the ocean without worry of crashing into a giant rock, like in Condado. I enjoyed sunsets on the balcony almost every night. The host, Maxine, was so sweet and kind, was super prompt in response to any questions I had throughout my stay and made recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area. Maxine also made sure that I had everything I needed for the home. The property is well cared for and was very comfortable for me and my two children.
Three of us stayed at the retreat and found it to be spacious and comfortable. The view from the patio was lovely (provided you can look beyond the abandoned pool area that is a little of an eye sore unfortunately). Maxine was a gracious host and accommodated an early arrival and an extra night’s stay. Communication was stellar from booking to checkout. We also appreciated the full disclosure that the pool was not working but booked anyway since the beach is literally also right outside the door. Our only suggestion was that a notebook be provided with “helpful hints”. We got the impression that there was one in the house at some point though it wasn’t there during our stay. Maxine answered all our questions promptly so it didn’t take away from our visit though if we’d had it, we might have been able to save her a few texts 😊. Overall a great stay and a very welcoming host.
Great spot to stay! Very close to several necessities, grocery within 1/4 mile, and several restaurants. Bar, snack shop, and games area all within the complex. This is the hotel district so all the food prices at restaurants are somewhat inflated. Parking garage with free parking and reserved spot super helpful. Very safe area, no problem walking around at night by yourself.
Apartment was spacious and beds are very comfortable. Appreciated the leather furniture instead of cloth especially in a VRBO. Lots of towels available and loved having a washer and dryer in the unit. We were a family of 4, two older boys and it worked perfect. Wifi was enough to support our devices, but could use an extender to the back bedroom. There were chairs for the beach and beach toys for littles. We added some inflatable floats to the collection for riding the waves.
Clean, but could use a deep clean to get in the corners and in the cabinets. Keep in mind I'm kinda a clean freak. Light switches kinda confusing and craftsmanship on renovations and repairs was not of high quality.
Overall would be on my list to stay there again!!
I stayed with my GF and her two teenage boys.
The Good: Communication was good and questions were answered promptly. The beach is at your doorstep. Lots of good stuff in the kitchen. I liked the dual dishwashers: teenage boys eat constantly so we were constantly doing dishes. I also liked the wheeled grocery cart for my frequent walks to the grocery store.
What Could Have Been Better: The pool. The listing was upfront about the pool being out of service, so we knew it going in. There's a hotel next door with a pool you can use, but you can't just walk over and pay a fee: you have to reserve a spot online and day passes were always sold out. There were packages available but you had to buy $200 (or more) in food/drinks and an adult had to be present, so you couldn't send the teens next door by themselves. Plan ahead and reserve a pool spot as soon as possible since they go fast. We ended up doing alternative activities - and there were many: a banana boat and parasailing were right on the beach.
While the condo itself is in great shape, the building it is in could use some work. The hallways could use some paint and there were dings in the wall. Personally, I didn't care but my GF didn't like it.
I'd be inclined to stay again, but it would hinge on the pool being available. We did adapt and there's other things to do. The host was upfront about it being out of order, so we have no cause for complaint, but I don't think we appreciated how much we missed it.

"Like-home" condo perfect for our family
My husband and I traveled with my aging mother and college-age daughter and son. The condo was the perfect size, comfortable, and felt like home. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking up a nice meal: large refrigerator with an ice-maker, large oven and stove top, dishwasher, garbage disposal, plenty of dishes, pots and pans, utensils and glasses. Everything in working order and clean enough to feel healthy. While the decor and environment does not feel new, it feels "lived-in" and "homey", like you don't have to worry about bringing in a little sand from the beach. The patio has a lovely view! WOW!! The outdoor furniture is worn and a bit weather beaten, which is understandable. All the chair cushions needed help but we just covered them with towels. The beds are comfortable enough, although the sheets and towels could use refreshing. It is very easy to access the pool and the beach which was important since my mother cannot walk far or on uneven surfaces. You can exchange your beach towel as many times a day as needed so no washing necessary. The fitness room is small and cramped but has all new equipment. The tv's in the fitness room are not working so bring your own music or entertainment. The lobby has a lovely lounge but the bar was not open for service. I do not recommend eating breakfast at the restaurant in the condo, food was mediocre, coffee weak and price high. Internet was spotty, but who cares when you are in the Caribbean!
Overall, the condo was just perfect for our needs. Do not expect a super modern and all updated decor, just a "home-away-from-home" atmosphere to relax and enjoy the beach.
If you want to be in a great location in a nice condo, this is the place to stay. Lots of restaurants walking distance, grocery store nearby and a short drive to Old San Juan or Condado area. We traveled as a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and the space was perfect! Beds were comfy and place was very clean and spacious. Super nice having 2 bathrooms too. Kitchen had nice plates, glasses, pots, pans etc., if you want to cook. It isn’t your own kitchen but pretty darn close. The balcony is great with a nice view of the pool. Yes, the air conditioning unit goes off at times but if did not bother us at all. We were out there all the time and enjoyed every moment. We were hesitant after reading some reviews and I have to say I’m so glad we booked. This unit had everything we needed for an enjoyable trip. Thank you Maxine for a wonderful vacation and thank you for delivering a bottle of champagne on New Years Eve. Hope to stay again!! You were a pleasure to work with.
