Welcome to La Perla Roja!! Renovated large apartment w/ POOL, laundry & parking in great location, minutes to the SJU & Old San Juan. Walk to Ultimo Trolley beach, Isla Verde beach or Ocean Park beach. Walking distance to Calle Loiza, Isla Verde & Ocean Park amenities. Gated shared courtyard w/ outdoor dining space, hammock & grill. Full AC w/ Wifi & Netflix. NOT A RESORT, intended for the tourist wanting an authentic local experience, not a tourist trap. Come see why I love it! The only beach essentials included are beach chairs and towels, shared beach chairs are located in the overhang area next to this unit. CHILDREN UNDER 5 NOT ALLOWED DUE TO OPEN POOL. Pool is 8'wide x 16' long x 5' deep and is shared with all units. Guidebook & WiFi info is provided digitally in your Airbnb reservation details. It is not printed within the home. San Juan is filled with stray cats, lizards and other creatures - you will likely see them in their daily routine. I also have a small 8 pound dachshund - kept in my quarters and separate outdoor space. This unit comfortably holds 4 people, it can hold a maximum of 6. I would not recommend having 2 full grown adults share the couch, though we have had guests do so who enjoyed their stay. On average about once a month the power will go out for up to 4 hours. The island power system is still not at full capacity from the hurricane. While I hope this doesn’t happen to you, please let me know if it does. Please leave the fridge closed, and consider going to the mall (Plaza Las Americas) or something else fun on a different power grid if this happens. *Gay owned and operated establishment, be kind or kindly move along. Questions about local real estate - or curious about the team here?? We are happy to help!! Dakota is available locally and is happy to provide any support possible. Depending on his availability he might meet with you to welcome you personally if needed - there are coded keypads for any-time access. If you find something that you would like changed - please let me know ASAP and I will see what I can do. Waiting until you check-out doesn't help you or me. This is a great little area. 3 blocks to beach.. 1/2 block to a large grocery store with everything you need. 8 blocks to Bargain City / All Ways 99 which have any other specialty items you might want. Typically 10 minutes to Old San Juan / 10 minutes to the airport. The beaches are beautiful and low key. There are beach chairs available next to the washer / dryer on a first come first serve basis. Super convenient - equipped as a home - and walkable to all the amenities... my favorite thing about this space is the inviting outdoor courtyard.. Tropical evenings are meant to be enjoyed outside with a drink in hand. If you’re looking for resort hotels and tourist traps, this space isn’t for you. This home is for the traveler who likes to blend in with the locals and truly experience a culture in its daily rhythms. Fall asleep to the calls of the coqui frogs and the cricket songs, wake up to the mourning doves and parrots in the nearby trees. Stroll to the beach for a morning swim, after grabbing a quick breakfast and cafe at the local grocer. For lunch, walk over to the bustling Calle Loiza for some amazing local hip cuisine - Or grab some fresh fruit from the corner stand. As a treat in the evening, a quick drive and a sunset stroll around romantic Old San Juan is always fun, as the ocean breezes wash away the heat of the day - the walk helps to burn the calories from the delicious frozen tropical fruit ice cream that is sold by the street peddlers in the square... You’ll never find ice cream quite like it anywhere else... For a day of adventure - head to the rain forest, or go caving, or drive through the salt flats to reach Playa Sucia, and some of the best beaches on earth. The experiences on the island are endless!! Uber is super convenient and cost-effective here - though it's best to rent a car for driving around PR. Get the automatic toll included - it makes life much easier.
