The residence was a little difficult to get to because the directions that were provided and Google maps aren't up to date. We spent about an hour driving around to figure out how to get to the residence. When we got there, the arrangement of the beds was extremely awkward. The master was in between two other rooms which made it difficult for my partner and me to have privacy. One of the air conditioners in one of the rooms did not work. However, to top it off the water shut off in the residence 3 times while we were staying there because of a plumbing issue. I contacted the residence manager several times about the issue and it was rather difficult to get in contact with her. When I finally did get in contact with her, she provided me with two jugs of water for the 5 people in our stay to shower with. She didn't offer another place to stay even a discounted rate for the inconvenience. So my group literally paid to shower with cold water from a jug lol. Overall it wasn't the worst place I've stayed in but I definitely wouldn't stay again.

Our stay was fine. The ID requirements for all the guests were excessive and pointless - I almost cancelled the reservation rather than put up with them. You might also want to provide a few more basic condiments like salt and pepper.

The house is perfect for a family or group of friends to stay at, the location is good and a short uber ride from pretty much anything you'd want to do around San Juan as well as the airport.

Felt like being at home, everything I needed was available.

Our group of 6 loved this home as we stayed several weeks. There is a lot of various places to sit and hangout all over the property. Fair warning though, the wifi is super bad. If only staying briefly or not needing wifi much then you're good. The stray cats that linger outside daily are annoying but harmless. Sometimes it was confusing who fro Marco Polo we were needing to communicate with as many were involved. They were always prompt to help though. The kitchen is stocked really well with everything you need and more, and with some snacks/basic food upon arrival. Beds were nice, 3 clean bathrooms, and restful outdoor space.

I was hassled about information which I already gave them through vrbo, plus they needed ID before I could finalize anything. Thered gates that are locked off so you have to go through the back bedroom to get to one of the nice outside areas. The project slum is right across the street so I get the extra security.

Nice people and nice place as advertised.

We had a wonderful time staying in Ocean Park last week. six adults fit comfortably with plenty of amenities. The best part was having three bathrooms! You never find those at a rental! I had a bedroom which opened onto the patio and also had doors to the backyard. It was beautiful! The owners left some welcome snacks and it was so kind and a lovely touch after traveling most of the day.

Really enjoyed the stay

Really enjoyed the stay

Great open floor plan with well appointed kitchen. There owners left a nice bag of local coffee and a small bottle of local rum. Fresh eggs and some beers in the fridge. Very welcome after a long trip. Perfect location with added to the beach, city and beyond. Thanks!

Our stay at the villa just what the doctor ordered. Our group of 6 (3 adults and 3 teenage kids) all slept comfortable in the spacious house. The air conditioning was a nice treat, as well as the Jacuzzi. We very much appreciated the "starter" food amenities. With our late arrival, it was nice to have some food readily available. The property was very well maintained and clean. We really enjoyed being in a gate residential community, that was quiet and well kept. We appreciated very much the beach supplies that were in the shed outside. We enjoyed the local cats dropping by for a visit, as well as all the little reptiles that shared the space. Beach was easily accessible, clean and close. The owners provided excellent care throughout our stay in villa. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place with us, and we look forward to staying again!

Great vacation home. Very clean and it had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The location was also perfect! Close to airport and all the hotspots in San Juan. We very much enjoyed our stay and will definitely rent again!

We were in shock as to the location of this property. One has to travel through graffiti saturated streets and low income housing to reach this property. The street to the address were full of potholes and dirty. Once there, we were met by John and his wife who stated the electricity had gone out that morning. My guests did not want to get out of the car! We decided to go grab some lunch and upon our return found the electricity had come back. The kitchen is in dire need of updates and small. The photos showed a beach a block away when in reality it was much longer (5 blocks). Unfortunately, we felt more comfortable spending our week away from the house and regret reserving this home. Truly one to stay away from!!

This place was perfect for 5 thirty-something women! We were met by a member of John's staff who greeted us and made sure we were settling in okay, she even helped us make reservations at an upscale restaurant (we had an awesome table!) and gave us a tour of the house. When we needed help with transportation, they were there and arranged all our cars to/from the airport. Super communicative - when you're in a foreign country (okay, territory) that goes a long way! There are 3 bathrooms, no one ever had to wait on anyone. And the rooms are spacious. This isn't the Ritz-Carlton, sure, but it's all serviceable and in a good area for walking to the beach. We really enjoyed the people and the quiet street. Walk to ocean park beach is about 10 minutes, beds were comfortable, everything worked fine. The only issue is that parking for a rental car, if you don't want to park it on the street, is very tight...but you can do it!

We stayed in this house for the month of February. Unfortunately, there were several things that were problematic: (1) the furniture was shabby and uncomfortable; (2) we had to purchase new beach chairs and towels because the ones that came with the house were worn out, and there were no towels; (3) we had to purchase speakers for the TV, because the volume barely worked; and (4) the house was not thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival. The benefits were that it was close to Barbosa Park and Beach. While this house may be adequate for a couple of nights, I would not recommend it for a long-term rental.

Great location! The unit has everything you need. It is spacious, clean and comfortable. So much better and more convenient than hotel. Nice professional management and organization. We would recommend this to friends.

There were 5 ladies in our party. We were greeted by Tania who gave us a tour of the house. Puerto Rican coffee and a small bottle of rum was left on the counter to welcome us as well as some beverages that were left in the fridge. The first thing we noticed was that the house was very clean and there was plenty of space for us. Each room was equipped with its own AC unit. For the most part, the kitchen was well equipped. We loved eating out on the patio. It was a gated community so we felt very safe. The location of the house was great as it was only a short walk to the beach and the park. We even walked to church which was only a few blocks away. Grocery store and other shopping areas were also close by. We rented a car so we were able to venture out to other sides of the island such as Rincon, Fajardo and Ponce. We would recommend staying at Villa Verde to our friends and family.

Our family stayed at Villa Verde for Thanksgiving week. I can't say enough about our experience. From even before we touched down, Annette was in touch to make sure we were taken care of. We used her advice for a car service from the airport (Carlos) and ended up using him all week. He came for us at the drop of a hat and was always full of helpful information. Annette met us at the house when we arrived, gave us a tour, gave suggestions and even had food and drinks in the fridge for us. In addition, she gave us a ride home from lunch just because she was in the area. Throughout our stay, if we needed a dinner recommendation she was very quick to reply. We couldn't have asked for a better or more helpful person. We even cooked our Thanksgiving dinner here. Thank you so much to John and Annette for such a wonderful experience.

We were very pleased with this home . It was just as described and in fact felt larger. We were a family of 6 - grandparents, parents and two children age 4 and 6. The home is well appointed and very clean. We felt very safe in this neighbourhood and other areas we visited. Good customer service. Welcome treats upon arrival. Walking to beach was a bonus. Easy to walk to several restaurants although a vehicle (we rented) makes one's stay more enjoyable. Easy to drive in and around area and we explored rainforest and old San Juan by car. Coastal drives were wonderful and we ate local foods daily. We would recommend this property without hesitation.

We had a great stay with 3 comfortable bedrooms and 3 baths. The kitchen had good storage and working utensils. Plenty of towels, beach gear, and outdoor spaces. The house is very secure with access via the outside door or the garage gate. There were some DVD movies that the kids enjoyed and a nice selection of books as well. Each bedroom has it's own air conditioning unit which gives you nice temp control in each room. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of bowls, dishes, and glasses and the full size refrigerator held plenty of food and drink for the week. The beach is about a 10 min walk, adjacent to a park with a nice kid''s playground. Although we were concerned about the 2 hurricanes that passed our way during in the week. we never lost power and the house water reserve was comforting. - thanks John for a great home - all the best - Joe

We reserved this rental with some friends (total of 5 people) including 2 couples for a weekend for a friend's wedding. It was a great place and we really enjoyed it. The location was great, and the area while active wasn't overly busy, allowing us to relax. The house itself was very spacious, had a beautiful garden, came stocked with several nice little surprises including some great local coffee, and was a nice little getaway for us all. The beach was a quick walk away (no more than 5 minutes), and it was right in between the major sites of PR. It really was a great value and we hope to come back sometime soon to spend a little more time in Puerto Rico and the Ocean Park area.

We were four ladies visiting Puerto Rico for the first time. We didn't want to stay in any of the big resorts so we searched for private homes to rent and found this lovely home in a quiet safe neighborhood in Orchard Beach. The photos and reviews by previous guests convinced us to book the property. We stayed at Villa Verde for four nights before heading to Luquillo for the remainder of our trip. We chose this home for its outdoor patios and yard, where we spent most of our time. Both were lovely, quiet, and relaxing. We started in one patio for morning coffee and breakfast and moved to the other for drinks and afternoon sun. The property has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. For four women, this was ideal - no one had to share a bed (one bedroom had two twins) and only two of us had to share a bath. Each room had enough pillows, blankets, and towels to go around. Oddly, the only thing we found lacking was clothes hangers - there were hardly any. The living room and dining room were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for basic cooking needs. We made our breakfasts and lunches there and dined out for dinner. The home was very secure, gated, and felt very safe. Annette, the property manager, met us upon our arrival and provided a wonderful 'welcome kit'. She was quick to answer inquiries and fix a minor problem with one of the air conditioning units. We did not have a car during our stay here, so we took the local bus, which was a 2 block walk, into Old San Juan. It was safe, convenient, and only 75 cents. Taxis were very expensive so we avoided them when possible. The public beach was only a 5 minute walk. We found the surf to be pretty rough, not ideal for swimming but the surfing looked great. Around the corner are two great places: Kasalta bakery and Bagua restaurant. We did the typical tourist things in San Juan - the forts and Old San Juan, Bacardi (don't waste your time as it was terrible), the cock fights (legal here), the Mercado/Placita on Friday night, the outdoor Heineken concert (last Sunday of the month), and drinks here and there in Condado. We did splurge with dinner at Marmalade, San Juan's best restaurant - amazing! We found the property to be as described and as the pictures depicted, although the kitchen was definitely lived in, which we didn't mind. We loved the stay here as it was exactly what we wanted - to live as the locals.

Our group of 6 friends stayed at this beautiful property over a weekend in the beginning of May, and could not have asked for a better experience. The house is gorgeous - not one but TWO outdoor chill spaces, super clean, washer/dryer, beautiful comfy bedrooms and three full baths, in a super quiet and safe neighborhood just a 5 minutes walking from a gorgeous, uncrowded beach, tons of parking... I have to also mention that the Marco Polo team was super helpful to us. From answering any questions we had about the property to seamless contract signing, payment and deposit reimbursement, I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again. They met us at the house to give the keys, show us around the house and share advice for local food options and activity suggestions, and they were always just a phone call away if we had any issues at all. Enjoy a wonderful stay here, you're making a really great choice!

My family of 5 had a wonderful stay at this clean, beautiful, and charming vacation home. We love having our own bedrooms, bathrooms, outdoor sitting and playing areas. There are so many ways to relax and find some space to yourself in between our adventures around the island. The convenience and close location to Ocean Park beach is a big positive as well. We enjoy the beach, waves, being around so many locals. So many families, activities, but yet it is not crowded. There is a nice activity center/field by the beach and it was cool to see so many people exercising, playing with their kids. The lush gardens, privacy, and all the accommodations you expect from being at home make this a wonderful vacation home. We LOVED it and hope to return again. The manager provided quick and great customer service. We didn't have any problems. I definitely recommend this place to my friends. There is so much to see and do in Puerto Rico and I love how things are so close to each other. You can enjoy history, architecture, amazing food and coffee in Old San Juan. Then we loved the peace and scenery of the rainforest hiking, swimming in waterfalls. The beaches and kayaking in Fajardo to see the biobay. Can you tell I love it there? Can't wait to go back.

It is just like the website has mentioned, such as 5 mins to beach, all the amenities are included, 3 rooms / 3 bathrooms, and it is very clean. We were very enjoying staying in this property. The back yard BBQ area was our favorite because it allowed us to have three seafood and steak dinners and lunches only for $48 dollars per person (bought fresh food from Costco.) Also, the cooking materials like skewer, grill seasoning, and anything you could image are there! However, the front door parking space is limited for a mini van car, I think it could be available for two compact cars, but for a mini van, you will need very a professional driver like ours. Anyway, we love this place and definitely will recommend to our friends!!!

We were welcomed by Taina and John when we arrived at the house. John was attentive to ours needs. The home was very spacious for us and our 3 young adult sons. It was clean and all the amenities we needed. The house was only a few blocks from the beach. We felt safe walking and spending time there. Old San Juan is about 15 minutes away. Our favorite nightly spot was Kasalta, a bakery 5 minutes away. Thanks, John

This property was perfect for our stay in San Juan. There were six people in our group, and John kindly set up an extra bed to ensure we had enough room, truly exceeding our expectations. Stocking the fridge with essentials after our red-eye flight was much appreciated as well. The house was beautiful, especially the two patios which were pleasant any time of day. The house was spacious enough that we never felt crowded even with a larger group. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and it was comforting knowing that John lived right next door. With that being said, we only ran into him twice, so he was not overbearing in the slightest. The only issue we had was weak plumbing and only one person could be in a shower at a time, but that was common throughout Puerto Rico. At Villa Verde we truly got the best of both worlds because we had the peace of being away from the tourist area yet were able to get to the nightlife with a 15 minute walk or short cab ride. Villa Verde exceeded our expectations, and if we ever return to San Juan this will be our top choice for rental. Thank you John!

Villa Verde was awesome! We stayed at Villa Verde for a wedding at El Convento in Old San Juan. The location was super convenient: 10 minute drive to Old San Juan, 5 minute drive to Condado, 2 block walk to beach, close to restaurants and supermarkets. John (owner) was great, you can tell he really cares about his property and customers. He started us off with a fridge of essentials, plenty of towels and linens, beach equipment and all the necessary stuff. The kitchen was fully equipped and stocked with spices, which helped keep our incidental costs at a minimum. We were a group of 6 (3 couples), so the 3 private bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms worked out perfectly. The rear and side patios were especially useful for outdoor bbq gatherings and morning breakfast. We hope to return to Villa Verde soon and highly recommend John's property for group or family visits. Our favorites for the area: Kasalta Restaurant, Pinky's Sandwiches, Ocean Park Beach, Ropa Vieja Restaurant and La Concha Hotel Bar in Condado.
