About this property
19th FLOOR BEACHFRONT (CORNER APT) @ SANDY HILLS
Our condo is in a gated community with 24 hour security and a full time management staff. Common spaces, which guests can use during their stay, includes a gym, laundromat, kids playroom and best of all private beach access to Luquillo Beach. Plus, we have a parking space available to guests during their stay.
The apartment itself is located in the on the 19th floor. It's a large corner studio with floor to ceiling doors installed to take advantage of the amazing view. Truly the ocean is your neighbor!
Inside there is a large walk in closet, kitchen, and a spacious balcony. The queen-sized bed fits two comfortably. Plus there is a queen-sized air mattress available for a party of four. WiFi and cable is also included. In addition to basic cable, we have a smartTV, so you can watch Netflix or Amazon Prime (you need your own account). We provide the essentials (i.e. sheets, towels, soap, toothpaste, etc.), but you'll have to bring any extras. Many guests have left behind their 'extras' such as sunscreen, lotion, bug spray, etc. so feel free to use these items as well.
Last but not least is location! From Old San Juan to Luquillo it's about a 30-40 minute drive (depending on traffic). El Yunque Rain Forest is 10 mins away. Fajardo (think Bio Bay) is 15 mins way. Ceiba, the new port town to travel in and out of Culebra and Vieques, is about 20-30 mins away.

I love the view from the 19th floor. The condo is a quiet condo and very clean. I would stay there again.
Waking up to the view of the ocean every morning was the best part. It is a nice apartment, clean and well maintained. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone visiting puerto rico.

Very clean and the view was amazing. Few local restaurants 5 min Uber ride but over all it was everything I expected and I would definitely be back.
Good location, near everything and away from the tourist places, 1 hour drive from San Juan, 5 minutes drive to el yunque. excellent view, fast response from host, highly recommended
House is in urgent need of a renovation. Rusted fan, curtain rods, bathroom mirrors. Flooring and kitchens cabinets also needs upgrades. Most importantly the railings in balcony needs attention right away. I was informed on the day of checking not to lean on those railings as they were rusted and broken at one of bottom.
View of the ocean was the only thing worth is. Parking is also very confusing.
We loved the views of the beach and rainforest. The neighborhood is a little different than we’re use to. You can tell they’re still recovering from the hurricane. There is surfing a block away. I would come back.

I absolutely loved our host. She was knowledgeable, pleasant, and super responsive. The area was a little dicey; did not walk without my husband. The property was, as somebody explained, in a war of new president vs old president. The pool was not able to be used, and it smelled of cat urine.
This is hands down the best experienced I've ever had at a vacation, book early because this spot is amazing and may not be available with a short notice. Pamela was very helpful and eager to help with anything I needed, and so was Alba, they make a great team. And this view and privacy for a couple is truly Paradise. The pictures don't do it justice. It is 10 times more than what you would expect!

Property has a beautiful view! Host got back to us right away with any questions we had. The only thing we really disliked was not knowing that you had to take stairs to get out of the garage. My fiancé has a medical condition and stair are really hard on her. But would definitely stay again as we got engaged on the beach outside.

We couldn’t find beach access. Found it on day 4.The room was very basic. The bed was the hardest mattress I’ve ever slept on and not enough pillows. No amenities. Pool was closed due to falling cement off the high rise, not sure if there is a gym, since there were no instructions inside the room, we forgot to go find it. The balcony railings were completely rusted through on two posts. (19th floor) not loose but visually disturbing. For the price, it sufficed, but felt more like roughing it than a pampered vacation. Location on the island is great for traveling around. Thankfully the elevators were brand new. Others told us they had been walking the 19 floors previously.( This was not mentioned when I booked) (That would have been a surprise)! It was not mentioned that the pool was closed when I booked either, though it has been that way for awhile, and will remain that way for awhile until they fix the falling cement from the buildings facade. No regrets.
One elevator not working, was not getting worked on, and clearly had not worked for a long time. The working one required us to walk up/down stairs one flight. Also, it is listed as a one bedroom, but it isn’t. It is a studio apartment with everything in one room. Beautiful view with ocean directly below and a lovely balcony to sit on. Pam was very good to work with.
Host told us to cancel days before check-in. I reserved months in advance, got messages from the host thanking us for booking and requesting the payment. About a week before I sent some questions regarding the check-in process. My message went unanswered, so I wrote another message.This message was answered, telling us that the apartment was not available and we needed to cancel. I said that I was not comfortable cancelling, as it stated that I was past the date to reimbursement and that I didn't understand why she was only telling us this days before our arrival. I suggested she contact VRBO to sort out her error. She promised that we would be reimbursed, however this would still leave us without accommodation and with little available just three days before our trip. And I wasn't comfortable taking her word for it. I contacted VRBO, and thankfully they took great care of us and helped us find a replacement accommodation. I was very disappointed with the lack of professionalism and poor communication of this host.
We are super disappointed in the condo and the building. The walls haven't been painted in a long time, there's trim missing, the microwave door doesn't shut and we couldn't find a hand towel for the bathroom. The pool has no chairs, the hottub is closed, the gym is out of order, one of the elevators are not working and the other doesn't work every time. The security guard barely speaks English so it was hard to check in. The building condition is terrible and there is a cat pee smell in the garage and out front. The pictures in the listing aren't current because the kitchen cabinets are taped together and there's little bugs in the kitchen. There is also a missing chair in the kitchen, so you can only seat one to eat unless you drag in the rusty patio chairs. I let the owner know and she offered to refund us if we vacate. Since out trip was only three days, I didn't want to spend one of them looking for a new place to stay and packing up our stuff and leaving. I asked if we could just stay and receive a partial refund and she agreed. After we checked out she processed a refund and it didn't even total one night stay. It was completely unacceptable. The owner should be disclosing if there are issues and the condition of the unit.
This apartment had everything we needed for a great stay! Sadly the elevator was broken and 19 floors were just too much for us so we couldn’t stay beyond 1 night, but our host was very understanding and communicated wonderfully.
The apartment was clean and very nice. The view is amazing. The location is nice it is close to the highway and very close to luquillo beach with crystal clear water. The parking is on the lower deck and you have to go up a lot of stairs but besides that it was perfect we will definitely be staying there again!
The amenities make this place. The apt is sufficient, if your looking for a fancy place this isn’t it. The beach and pool, and balcony are great. We did have to climb the the 19 flights once, when the elevator didn’t work. But overall this is a good place. The outside noise can be loud. You could close the windows.
Everything was wonderful! The views were so amazing, we didn't want to leave the balcony. The private back entrance to the beach was definitely a plus! The place was clean and accommodating. Everything we needed was there. Even beach accessories! It was private and quiet. We also loved the fact that there was so much to do within close distance. The host Pam was great to communicate with. I would definitely recommend this place if looking for a reasonable place to stay in Luquillo with amazing views!
Thanks Pam for making our stay a wonderful one! 😊
My boyfriend and I took a getaway and stayed in Pamela's condo. The condo felt safe since it is gated and has a guard on duty at all times. The elevator won't even move without a key inserted.The overall property could use some TLC (both buildings were built in the 1970s), but they are in the process of painting the buildings and we say some maintenance being done while there. The view is what you are paying for. A corner balcony and it's right on the beach. You can lay in bed and listen to the ocean. This part of the beach didn't have many people in the water. We were told by people we met it is dangerous due to rip tides and we always saw red flags out everyday we were there.
The condo itself is very simple with just a bed, tv, kitchen, balcony, and bathroom. The bed was VERY firm and towards the end of the week we were both waking up in pain, could of just been us though. It met our needs since we spent a lot of the time exploring different parts of the island.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and Pamela was a great host to work with!
