The location provides quick and easy access to some of the best beaches in Puerto Rico, El Yunque Rainforest, and boat tours and water activities based out of Fajardo.  There are many things to do in the surrounding areas; here are some of our favorites:



Chill at the beach! There is a sandy beach 5 minute walking distance from the apartment.

 

Lunch or dinner at Los Kioskos de Luquillo. There are over 25 restaurants in the Caribbean beachfront restaurant strip. One of our favorites is "La Parrilla".



Take a surfing lesson right at La Pared Beach. There are multiple surf schools located on this beach and it is a 5-minute walk away from the apartment.  



Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 10-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.



Spend a day in Old San Juan. A Drop of The Sea is a 45 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There's a lot of history to be seen and great food and drinks to be had.

Nice location. However the property was not clean. We had to clean it the evening we checked in, even wash the sheets. Pillows and sheets were stained. Sand and stains on the floor and shower. Not enough amenities for 4 adults 2 nights.

Hear the waves

This property is clean and accurately described. The apartment complex is right on the water in the neighborhood of Fortuna. 2 glorious beaches within easy walking distance, one sort of wild with a river, the other for swimming. Luquillo beach is a 20 minute walk, kiosks are 15 minutes. We loved the location and the open view of the ocean. Our neighbors were friendly. You are in a neighborhood that is quiet, but there are houses that look really rough and then nice villas, etc. all mixed together. We really liked the more authentic experience, but if you are looking for a 5 star hotel feel, this is not it. So much to do very close by. Beaches, kiosks, rain forest, caves and Old San Juan. We love the Main Street of Rio Grande with craft shops and food trucks. Have a wonderful time in Puerto Rico!

Convenient Location

We stayed just a few nights after spending time on the west side of the island, wanting to use our last two days at Luquillo Beach. This property served it's purpose since you can see that beach from the patios. As others mention, the neighborhood is run down but we had no issues. The condo was clean and had everything that we needed.

Near a great beach

Honestly the place didnt live up to our expectations. It seemed like the unit had not been updated or even maintained properly for 8-9 years. Lots of wear and tear on display in the unit. Little things were broken or didnt work properly, and when you add it all up it lead to our dissapointment.

Clean, comfortable apartment in a great location

First floor apartment a few feet away from the sea! You can hear the ocean from the entire apartment! We ate breakfast on the patio every morning,watching and listening to the waves. So peaceful. Access to a beautiful and quiet beach is a short walk away. Kitchen is well stocked, including a powerful blender which we used to make delicious pina coladas. Beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, cooler and towels are provided. Plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. We had a great time and were sad to leave.

Keep this place a secret, i want it

This worked perfectly for us. The place was on the ocean, by a river for fishing, a walk to a very nice locally run restaurant, quiet and in a neighborhood of non tourists. The check-in could have been easier but hey we got in.

Would stay again

What a view from living room area! I enjoyed the little secluded beach just west of the condo. Very private. Boogie boards were provided. Had a blast! Nearby beaches and restaurants. A/C only in bedrooms so living room was warm. Ocean breeze was helpful. Nice patio to sit and enjoy the ocean. Short trip to the National Forest. Had a nice stay.

Perfectly Authentic

We would definitely stay here again. Ariana was very communicative. The pictures match it well. Place was very clean and functional and beds and couch were comfortable. Patio has new furniture that is better than what is pictured. It had a few little things that were outdated or didn’t work perfectly but it wasn’t a problem at all. One set of keys was missing which made it tricky for our group but hopefully they have another set available for the next renter. It’s not a resort; neighborhood was authentic which we loved. While you can’t walk out the front door to the beach it’s an easy half-block walk to a very peaceful private beach where you can walk a few minutes to a beach bar for a Pima colada and snack.

The neighborhood behind the condo is very run down. People were friendly. Lots of dogs roaming around that are very friendly, we gave them water and our left overs. The ocean view and sounds were amazing. Short walk to the beach. The bakery close by was excellent. Communication with host was excellent. Enjoyed our stay very much

family visit

We enjoyed our stay in Luquillo. The apartment was simple with comfortable beds and suited our needs for the 3 of us (parents and teenaged daughter) - lovely to see and hear the waves! There were a few issues with the water heater and dryer but the property manager quickly addressed with no inconvenience to us. The location is very close to great places like Luquillo beach and kiosks and El Yunque but it is located in a very residential neighborhood that we didn't feel comfortable walking in. All in all a good place to stay if you are exploring from a local's perspective, and we would recommend for those looking for something different than a resort experience.

Great spot for a family

We loved this place - it had great proximity to the things we wanted to do (beach, food kiosks, rainforest, bio bay kayaking, etc) and was perfect for a family of 4. The property was clean and had a wonderful view of the ocean. There is a semi-hidden beach less than a few minutes walk from the apartment that we took advantage of several times during our stay - we only saw a handful of people on it each time we went there. We also appreciated that they provided some beach toys for the kids (boogie board, sand toys, etc) - that was a nice touch. Highly recommended.

Beautiful ocean view

We really loved being so close to the water. It was very windy and a bit rainy during our stay, so the waves were very high. You could hear them clearly all day and night, which we found to be peaceful and soothing despite the weather, but I suppose someone else may not have liked it as much, since the waves also splash against the edge of the property and you may get splashed on the back porch. We loved having laundry access, Ariana was a great communicator, and the kitchen and TV were easy to use. The proximity to the water made the unit’s interior smell a little damp when we arrived but it wore off over the course of our stay. It’s not fancy, but it’s a great spot for anyone wanting to feel one with the ocean. Up the street, you can find a little lagoon and beach access. We would happily return!
