You cannot beat the location and balcony view literally on top of the beach. You need 4 keys to unlock 5 things to get into the place (there are 2 sets of keys overall), so that is a bit cumbersome, but wasn't so bad after some practice. The condo itself is small for a family of 5 and also takes some getting used to, but we were able to configure the layout to work pretty well. Wifi signal/throughput is decent in the bedroom, but marginal in the living/balcony areas. CVS/Walgreens is a block down, along with a little grocery store a little further ... and plenty of restaurant options, even with some shut down during covid. Owner was super responsive to our questions during our stay. If you are beach bums like us who love swimming in the ocean and taking in the scenery, this place is hard to beat ... we had a blast.

Execellent location!

I recently returned from a 12 day stay at Condo 5A, Stella Maris Condominium. Great place to stay if you want to avoid exposure to the virus. Key points: Self check-in and checkout, no contact with other renters. Private parking spot, 5A The building is Covid-19 compliant. Directives are posted in the lobby. I observed George, the janitor, cleaning and sterilizing the inside lobby, elevator, the fifth-floor hallway and the outside premises on a daily basis. The elevator opens up on the fifth floor to an open-air passageway to condo 5A. The condo was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before my arrival. The cleaning lady was just leaving the condo at the time of my entry. Hand sanitizer is available on the kitchen counter. I opened the sliding glass window panels on the oceanside and the windows on the opposite side for cross-ventilation. I was in San Juan on a work-related assignment. I found it convenient to be only one block away from the 24-hour CVS and Walgreens and across the street from the Marriott Hotel in Condado Beach and nearby restaurants. I felt safe walking alone at night because the Condominium is well lit. Not a bad workday enjoying the fantastic view from this oceanfront retreat. I notified the property owner, Paulet, that the refrigerator was not cooling properly. She responded promptly and called the mechanic to fix the problem. She was very responsive to all my needs. The Covid -19 restrictions were downgraded to another Phase and the beach was opened during my stay and I was very happy about that. The condo as direct access to the beach. All things considered, I had a very enjoyable stay in this oceanfront ‘refugio’. I am planning to go back very soon. Hopefully this condo will be available when I return to this beautiful Island paradise.

The property was exactly as described. It’s a small condo, but it met all of my family’s needs. There are five off us. There are a number of keys to keep up with, but the owner gave very detailed instructions. The property is in a good location, and there are plenty of restaurants and food markets nearby. The appliances in the condo are a bit dated, but they work fine. The owner is very communicative, and gave us helpful tips to help us enjoy our stay. We had a wonderful stay.

Paulet is very responsive and nice to work with. Any questions or issues were answered quickly. The condo is in a great location on the beach. It is close to every kind of restaurant you can think of. It is also close to casinos and La Placita street party. Easy access to Old San Juan 10 minutes by bus or Uber. Beach chairs & umbrellas are available daily from beach vendors.
