Wow, what a great home for a large group! We were three families with college aged kids. The location is perfect. Walking distance to bars, restaurants and beaches and a short drive to old San Juan. The home has plenty of bathrooms and beds and the kitchen is nicely equipped. The pool and hot tub were a wonderful bonus. Communication with the Property Manager was excellent. We had one issue with a shower and they came out to repair it the following day with prompt communication at each step. The home includes beach towels and newer laundry machines. One thing to note is that two of the bedrooms are only accessed by walking through another bedroom. I would definitely rent this house again!

Amazing home

Jean met us at the house and gave us a tour and told us about the local area which was extremely helpful during our 4 day stay. The home was perfect for our group of 9 men. Plenty of space and having restaurants within a blocks walk was great and the beach was close as well. Outside the home had plenty of space for us to sit around and talk or have quiet time alone. I recommend this home to any one looking for a safe, clean and well maintained lodging.

Thanksgiving in Puerto Rico

This house was beautifully located in city San Juan, within walking to restaurants, beaches, and stores. In addition, the house itself was amazing! The most comfortable beds I have ever seen in a rental home, and the kitchen seemed newly redone! Everyone vied for the shower with a rain forest spigot, and we had several dinners in the outside patio (with a huge table!). Security was important to the owners, and we made certain to lock the gates whenever we left (and secure the padlocks). The house easily accommodated our family of 11, and the amenities were just as advertised. Linens/towels were plentiful, and with 5 bathrooms there was never waiting! Pablo was always available, and prompt with answers to questions. A beautiful house, and a tremendous vacation!! Many thanks.

Amazing stay - exceeded expectations

The property matches the pictures on the listing exactly. I am originally from PR so I was amazed that there was such a spacious house at such a great location, literally a block away from attractions. We had 17 people and all fit comfortably. We also had 4 cars, including 1 large SUV, which all fit in the garage. The check-in process was great, the property managers sent a lot of videos explaining everything within the house. They were also very responsive; we had a minor leak one morning, fixed within an hour. Overall we had no complaints. I've seen other reviews complain about the cleanliness of the backyard but there wasn't anything beyond a couple of leaves in the pool every morning from all the surrounding plants, very easy to clean. I don't know that I'll have a 17 person trip to PR again anytime soon but if I did, I know where I'd want to stay!

A great place for family or close friends

We had a great time in San Juan. The place was clean and has a great back patio and pool space. Everything worked without issue. The gates are self-locking, so it was great for feeling secure, but I can see people locking themselves out.There are padlocks on the iron work on all gates except the front door. This meant the only way in and out was through the front door which is again great for security but made using the backyard inefficient. I think the key to the padlocks should be left for customers to open the entry/exits they are comfortable with. The one way in and out also left me wondering about fire safety. Again, allowing the customer to have access to the padlocks would fix this.All in all, this place has a great location for restaraunts and beach access and is close enough for a quick Uber to Old San Juan and the airport. Would consider staying again if we revisit PR in the future!

Nice accomodations and spacious

We traveled as a group of 11 ranging from 13- 70+ spanning 3 generation. The location was extremely great and we walked a lot of places. The taqueria place on the corner was perfect for late-night quick meals. The strip at Candodo is a short 10 minute walk as well as the beach. We felt safe, but there is a park up the street that also serves as a police headquarters. We chose to walk the 15 minutes to LA Placita and was a little "less easy" of a trek. The house itself was maintained well and clean. The outdoor area feels luscious and was where the teenagers and adults spent any extra free time. The house manager, Pablo, was available to answer any questions we had.

Misleading

The house was as advertised as far as the amount of rooms. One of the rooms A/C did not work at all the other rooms A/C leaked water Allan’s totally soaked the below it. It rained so the entire back yard flooded and did not drain once the rain stopped ( the drainage issues needs addressing, front door does not lock. There are padlocks on the bars creating a death trap if there is a fire or other emergency. Outside property wasn’t cleaned up of debris ( leaves &twigs)

Disappointing

I stayed with 13 friends and for the price that was paid the stay was disappointing. Overall the house needs some work which is not apparent in the pictures, add to this issues with water pressure and no hot water and it doesn't make for the best stay. The Good: The location is great and the house is big enough to comfortably host 13-15 people. The bad: The house needs some work, things like lamps and door handles are worn down or do not work. Some bathrooms only had 1 working lightbulb. Not a huge deal but for the price you pay, more is expected. Closets could use a cleaning too. However, the main issue was the water pressure. The water worked fine for the 1st day of a 5-day stay. After this, we had issues with water pressure so low you couldn't take a shower. We also lost water for a few hours. The owner did send out people to fix it but the issues persisted throughout the stay. Aside from this, one of the bathrooms never had hot water throughout the stay. The house could be great if upkeep was better and water issues were resolved. I would not stay there again.

Pros: Great location if you are looking for a house near night life and plenty of bars/restaurants! Great spot for bachelor parties or big birthday celebrations. House was clean and exactly as described. Even though it's a great night life area the area is very quiet and safe at all times. We were a party of 13 adults and there was ample room for us all and honestly could have had a couple more comfortably. The backyard area is unbeatable, pool and Jacuzzi were phenomenal! Plenty of seating, great BBQ, and extremely relaxing for those that rather stay in the house. Cons: **I want to start off by saying none of these things were a big deal for our party so still got 5 stars from us but may be big deal to other so in the interest of transparency here it goes.** House is a bit dated and could use some upgrades even in simple things like TVs. There was some damage in the house such as a hole in downstairs room door and inside closet I noticed alot of cables exposed. Biggest issue which is a bit of a hazard and needs to be addressed asap was the covered patio entry which was broken and luckily no one was hurt when we tried to open it and the bars from the gate came down on us. If anyone was standing under that area they would have been injured by metal bars almost for sure. Overall this is a great house and would definitely look to stay in it again specially for the price if we are ever in town again with a large group. Highly recommend it for anyone that doesn't really care about the few things I mentioned in the cons area.

great location for night life and beach time!

This house is nicely situated in Condado on a quiet street, a 5 minute walk to all the day/night life on the strip and the beach, and a lagoon preservation area offering multi watersport rentals available from independent vendors. We were a family of 12, stayed 9 days. We had a couple of maintenance issues that were immediately corrected. Only recommendation for the property it that it needs some TLC, the house could use a deep cleaning, new window shades, new linens, cosmetic repairs to bathroom(s) shower tiles/glass wall, the backyard area could use some tidying (cluttered storage areas visible), outdoor landscaping and pool is a great complement to the property ambiance, although it may need an upgraded filtration system, outdoor grilling area cleaned up, tidy up the laundry room area. I'd remove half of the outdoor table seating by the pool to free up some space. We enjoyed our visit!

Great Location. Beautiful Home. Good customer service.

This house is nicely situated in Condado on a quiet street, but just a 5 minute walk to all the night life on the strip and near the beach. Home is huge with more than enough space to spread out. 11 of us stayed in the house on a 5 day girls trip. We had a couple of maintenance issues and the TVs wouldn’t connect. They sent someone over someone quickly. The guy was recovering from knee surgery and still took care of us with such patience. Also, they were extremely accommodating on our first day, a few workers were there when we arrived early and they let us drop our bags. On our last day they let us check out late since they didn’t have anyone checking in that day. Only recommendations here are that the house could use a deep cleaning and new linens with people in and out, dirt and dust build up. Overall the house was clean though. Also the backyard area and pool could definitely be cleaned and the pool may need an upgraded filtration system, but it was beautiful out there nonetheless. If you are looking at this house, pull the trigger!!
