We really liked the apartment we stayed in, it was very spacious, clean and very close to the beach. I recommend it. The only thing we didn't know was that the pool was being remodeled and we didn't know that but everything else was nice.

Disappointed
The hotel and room was clean, however not much going on at the hotel. Pool has been closed for 2 years (per staff) and lobby bar was not open much at all. Like a ghost town in the hotel. Room looked over the pool that looked terrible since It has been empty for so long. Beach view was minimal at best, since the trees have grown up. Overall not a good stay.

Spring Break w/ Niece
If I could give 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat. This wasn’t just a place to stay, it was a beautiful experience from beginning to end. The condo is spacious, super clean, and well-equipped. The ocean view (and soon-to-be fixed pool view) was the perfect backdrop for relaxing. The location was also ideal. We were close to everything — the airport, the mall, Old San Juan, amazing restaurants, and of course, the beach was right there.But what made this trip truly unforgettable was Miss Maxine. I’ve stayed in many rentals over the years, and I can honestly say I’ve never met a host like her. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and treats you like family from the moment you connect. This trip was special and emotional for me and my niece. We had just lost my brother, her father, about a month before. Miss Maxine knew this and treated us with so much compassion. She helped arrange an early check-in without hesitation and made sure everything was perfect. Her messages, her energy, and her heart brought us a kind of peace that's hard to explain. Talking with her felt like reconnecting with someone you've known your whole life.Miss Maxine, thank you for being the soul behind this stay. You didn’t just open up your condo — you opened up your heart. We’ll never forget this trip, and we’ll absolutely be back. You are an angel. It makes me tear up typing this, but I know my brother is smiling down, grateful his daughter had a chance to smile, relax and have some joy again in her life!

Almost all good!
We had a wonderful stay on Isla Verde beach. Maxine, our host, was lovely and kind. She let us stay past check out time, made sure we had everything we needed. She was also very responsive before and during our stay. Probably my favorite host ever, The condo was very nice, spacious and had comfortable beds. The kitchen was well-stocked with essentials for cooking and eating. The location was great - handy for restaurants, groceries, etc. The beach was a short jaunt and easily accessed. The only thing I think is important for future travelers to know is that the pool area is bad - while it’s stated it is closed for construction there is clearly no construction happening, and unlikely it will ever be, There is an ocean view if you look past the dilapidated pool. It looks like the pool area was beautiful years ago, but don’t go there hoping that construction is complete! Beyond that one thing it was a great stay. Thank you Maxine!

Great location but condo needs some updating
We spent 4 nights at this ESJ condo. The location is great, close to restaurants, shops, casino, beach. The apt has 3 large bedrooms, 2 baths and a fully equipped kitchen, although the dishwasher and kitchen light weren’t working and the toilets leaked when flushed. The apt was clean, but the patio was dirty and there was bird poop and broken ceiling pieces all over the patio furniture. The furnishing and decor are quite outdated, but functional. The reserved parking was great, however the spaces are on the smaller size so larger cars might find it a bit tight. The onsite swimming pool is a disaster, out of commission and has been that way since at least 2022 and they are not working on it at all. During the last 2 days we were there, the whole island had no power. The ESJ condo tower had a generator, but it only supplied power in the common areas and for the elevators, but none of the individual units had power. We had to use the flashlights on our phones to see our way around the condo at night. There were two lanterns on the patio but both had dead batteries so we weren’t able to use them and the nearby grocery was closed when we went to buy batteries. Other nearby hotels, stores & restaurants had back up power so we were still able to go out to get food & drinks. Maxine was responsive to our questions, called maintenance when we first realized that the condo had no power. Check in was easy and WiFi worked well when we had power.

A nice place
I stayed with my GF and her two teenage boys.
The Good: Communication was good and questions were answered promptly. The beach is at your doorstep. Lots of good stuff in the kitchen. I liked the dual dishwashers: teenage boys eat constantly so we were constantly doing dishes. I also liked the wheeled grocery cart for my frequent walks to the grocery store.
What Could Have Been Better: The pool. The listing was upfront about the pool being out of service, so we knew it going in. There's a hotel next door with a pool you can use, but you can't just walk over and pay a fee: you have to reserve a spot online and day passes were always sold out. There were packages available but you had to buy $200 (or more) in food/drinks and an adult had to be present, so you couldn't send the teens next door by themselves. Plan ahead and reserve a pool spot as soon as possible since they go fast. We ended up doing alternative activities - and there were many: a banana boat and parasailing were right on the beach.
While the condo itself is in great shape, the building it is in could use some work. The hallways could use some paint and there were dings in the wall. Personally, I didn't care but my GF didn't like it.
I'd be inclined to stay again, but it would hinge on the pool being available. We did adapt and there's other things to do. The host was upfront about it being out of order, so we have no cause for complaint, but I don't think we appreciated how much we missed it.

Great location right on beautiful Isla Verde beach. Unit as advertised. Unfortunate that the pool and hot tub were under repair, but a 5 minute walk to the El San Juan hotel with all its amenities. We would stay here again.
I truely enjoyed the stay in this property. It was unfortunate that the pool was still under constructions but the beach was very close and I walked on the beach almost everyday! I also had a nice run to Piones in the mornings. The property owner was very responsive and helpful.

Most Delightful Host Experience
The property was perfect. There is so much I love about the area. It is next door to the Fairmont, which was ideal as it's my favorite hotel in San Juan, also where I book cabanas on weekends with my kids. It has a beautiful, sandy beach, great for running or lounging on the sand or swimming in the ocean without worry of crashing into a giant rock, like in Condado. I enjoyed sunsets on the balcony almost every night. The host, Maxine, was so sweet and kind, was super prompt in response to any questions I had throughout my stay and made recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area. Maxine also made sure that I had everything I needed for the home. The property is well cared for and was very comfortable for me and my two children.

The retreat girlfriend’s weekend
Three of us stayed at the retreat and found it to be spacious and comfortable. The view from the patio was lovely (provided you can look beyond the abandoned pool area that is a little of an eye sore unfortunately). Maxine was a gracious host and accommodated an early arrival and an extra night’s stay. Communication was stellar from booking to checkout. We also appreciated the full disclosure that the pool was not working but booked anyway since the beach is literally also right outside the door. Our only suggestion was that a notebook be provided with “helpful hints”. We got the impression that there was one in the house at some point though it wasn’t there during our stay. Maxine answered all our questions promptly so it didn’t take away from our visit though if we’d had it, we might have been able to save her a few texts 😊. Overall a great stay and a very welcoming host.

Great area, very convenient
Great spot to stay! Very close to several necessities, grocery within 1/4 mile, and several restaurants. Bar, snack shop, and games area all within the complex. This is the hotel district so all the food prices at restaurants are somewhat inflated. Parking garage with free parking and reserved spot super helpful. Very safe area, no problem walking around at night by yourself.
Apartment was spacious and beds are very comfortable. Appreciated the leather furniture instead of cloth especially in a VRBO. Lots of towels available and loved having a washer and dryer in the unit. We were a family of 4, two older boys and it worked perfect. Wifi was enough to support our devices, but could use an extender to the back bedroom. There were chairs for the beach and beach toys for littles. We added some inflatable floats to the collection for riding the waves.
Clean, but could use a deep clean to get in the corners and in the cabinets. Keep in mind I'm kinda a clean freak. Light switches kinda confusing and craftsmanship on renovations and repairs was not of high quality.
Overall would be on my list to stay there again!!

Excellent stay
If you want to be in a great location in a nice condo, this is the place to stay. Lots of restaurants walking distance, grocery store nearby and a short drive to Old San Juan or Condado area. We traveled as a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and the space was perfect! Beds were comfy and place was very clean and spacious. Super nice having 2 bathrooms too. Kitchen had nice plates, glasses, pots, pans etc., if you want to cook. It isn’t your own kitchen but pretty darn close. The balcony is great with a nice view of the pool. Yes, the air conditioning unit goes off at times but if did not bother us at all. We were out there all the time and enjoyed every moment. We were hesitant after reading some reviews and I have to say I’m so glad we booked. This unit had everything we needed for an enjoyable trip. Thank you Maxine for a wonderful vacation and thank you for delivering a bottle of champagne on New Years Eve. Hope to stay again!! You were a pleasure to work with.

A Week on the beach.
Maxine was very communicative. We had a few issues with our stay and she had them fixed very quickly. Pictures are as shown. Place was clean but the building is older which I think is the cause of the musty smell. There were a few Damp Aid water bags to help with the smell in the condo. The middle bedroom has no A/C vent but there were a couple of portable fans to use to help with the heat. Liked that there were also a few beach chairs to use along with a boogie board.
