Welcome to the Lucky Penny!

Welcome to the Lucky Penny, my island paradise getaway. This completely remodeled 5,000 sq foot three-level home is just 50 steps from the beach and provides amazing rooftop views. The design, decor and amenities have all been chosen to provide comfort and an unparalleled vacation experience. It's my home when not rented, so every detail has been thought out to make it a relaxing place. The house is centrally located in the Ocean Park neighborhood, just minutes to Condado, Isla Verde, and Old San Juan.

You will be renting the entire three story home which includes 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a dining table to seat 12, fully equipped chef's kitchen, multiple seating areas, and 2nd/3rd floor/rooftop deck spaces. There is also a private, year round heated pool (a rarity in PR due to electricity cost!), as well as outdoor dining area and BBQ.

The house will very comfortably accommodate 12 people, and with extra bunk beds in the first floor bedroom, up to 14. There are 5 large bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms, which have either queen or king beds outfitted with memory foam mattresses, quality linens and plenty of pillows. Additionally, each bathroom is equipped with mirrors that have built-in Bluetooth speakers. Each room also has a 50" LED TV, with built in Roku, for Netflix/HBO and live streaming TV service. Wifi is high-speed 1gig fiber optic and available throughout the house. Every area and room has inverter A/C units, and there is a full-home backup generator should there be any power issues during your stay. There is also a backup water cistern, so your stay can be trouble free as possible.

The home was designed in a very modern style and is all white inside and out. All of the porcelain tiles were imported directly from Italy. The windows are tripled-pane and soundproof, which keeps it cool and quiet inside. Kitchen cabinetry was all handmade of solid teak, as well as in the bathrooms, and I have included high end European fixtures. In the kitchen is a massive island around which everyone can congregate. All furniture is either from Pottery Barn, West Elm, or has been custom made by myself. I have added a pool table to the second floor lounge for your enjoyment.

Ocean Park is perfectly located between Isla Verde and Condado/OSJ. You will have quick access to the best of both worlds (about 5-15 minutes from most attractions/restaurants), while coming back to a safe quiet residential area. The neighborhood is fully gated, and has a 24 hour rotating guard. Uber is fast and inexpensive in the area, so you may chose not to even rent a car. However if you do, there is a driveway with automatic gate in the front of the house.

I have included most items you will need for a beach vacation: chairs, umbrella, towels and coolers. The house is fully equipped and fully furnished. If something is missing, let me know, and I will do my best to meet any requests.

Please note, we heat the pool to a very pleasant 86-87° to maximize enjoyment while also controlling water chemistry. The entire pool is heated at once, so it is not possible to separate the smaller sitting area, although it does produce relaxing bubbles.

Family Trip
Our entire group loved our stay in this beautiful home. It had everything you could need. Great dishes and pots and pans It was roomy enough for our group of 12 with plenty of room to spare. The beach was fun for the kids and boogie boards at the house came in handy for our kids (big and small). We loved the pool and hot tub. It was the perfect size for staying cool while visiting. It was crazy how cold the home got with the mini splits and how quickly it would cool off. he only downside was that our trip was too short. We would happily stay here again.

Puerto Rican Paradise Retreat
The house is better than advertised. Plenty of room for our group of 7 people. I believe you can host up to 12 people and not feel cramped. Location is great. The beach is maybe 100 feet, its that close. The house is in a gated community so the exterior gate allows you access without having to deal with the security gate. There is an exterior gate to an outside street which is outside the gated community. That exterior gate was very helpful to catch an Uber ride. Peter, the owner was very courteous and gives you lots of privacy. I highly recommend The Lucky Penny for your next vacation to Puerto Rico. You will not be disappointed!!

Amazing
The place was very clean and well located near the beach. It was within 10 minutes of all things that we wanted to do in Puerto Rico. The owner was very accommodating and quick to respond to answer any questions we had. Each bedroom was beautiful. Even though there were six of us in the house, the noise levels always remained low. Will be back!!!

Amazing Property!!
I planned a girls trip with 12 women! We had plenty of space…This property was amazing! Clean and luxurious!! The house is exactly what was advertised! The owner communicated with me the entire time!! We knew exactly what to expect! I would recommend using the local concierge service….. very reasonably priced and super accommodating! The concierge arranged for transportation to and from our private boat charter…which was a fantastic experience… I highly recommend!!

Another wonderful stay at the Lucky Penny
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the Lucky Penny, and it has been perfect each time. For this trip it was my wife and two 20 something sons with their girlfriends. The house is great to be able to hang out, enjoy the pool, the roof top deck and also big enough to escape if wanted. Peter was again very attentive and answered any questions before and during the trip within minutes of me asking. The house was spotless when we arrived, and they were accommodating for a couple small special requests. I'm looking for another reason to come back and enjoy the house again soon. Alex

Family Celebration Vacation
Last year we started taking family vacations to celebrate my beating colon cancer. We had lived in Puerto Rico in the 1990's and enjoyed our time so we decided to return. Best vacation yet!! The house and amenities were awesome. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the house; location, pool, kitchen and gathering rooms. We were very sad to leave.

Beautiful beach mansion!
The house was beautiful, clean and conveniently close to the beach. There were some maintenance issues but the owner quickly responded to messages and addressed most of the concerns. The hot tub attached to the pool does not have the option to be heated which seems like a missed amenity. Most concerns were minor but did affect the quality of our stay (shower that pools water back into the bedroom, unevenly slanted pool table, outside furniture with mold spots). These issues although minor did start to add up but could easily be addressed for future guest. The overall style of the house is very nice and the owner was accommodating.

Great stay in Ocean Park
My family of 7 adults, ranging in age from 75-24, and my two children stayed for a week at Peter’s property. The home provided all the space and amenities that we needed. Several days we didn’t even leave! Peter was great about answering all our questions and making sure we were set up for the experiences and excursions that we wanted to have. The home is well loved, but very clean and fully stocked. Thanks!

I doubt there are many better ways to enjoy PR and San Juan than staying at LuckyPenny. Peter is such a thoughtful friendly host who makes you feel as though you are stepping into your own home. The house is centrally located to quaint bars, shops, beach and just a stones throw from old San Juan. I implore you to stay at LP to capture every hope and dream of a proper PR experience. Kudos.

No one negative thing to say!!! Puerto Rico is a beautiful island and I hope to go back in the near future.
