Summary: IMPORTANT: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW AND REVIEW ALL PHOTOS BEFORE BOOKING.

If you have any questions or are unsure about something, the listing description is your best reference, but you’re also welcome to contact us directly for clarification. The Space: Ola Serena is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment located right on the sand at Isla Verde Beach, one of Puerto Rico’s most beautiful and iconic shorelines. You’ll enjoy direct beach access and be within walking distance of a wide range of dining and nightlife options. The apartment is also just 5-9 minutes from Luis Muñoz Marín Airport. The unit comfortably sleeps 4 adults with a queen bed and a full bed, and features a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, a washer and dryer, high-speed Wi-Fi, and two Smart TVs for your convenience. NOISE NOTE: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT DUE TO THE PROPERTY’S PROXIMITY TO THE SJU AIRPORT, AIRPLANE SOUNDS WILL BE NOTICEABLE DURING YOUR STAY. LIVING AREAS Step into Ola Serena and enjoy an open-concept living and dining area filled with natural light and windows that offer serene coastal vibes. The dining table comfortably seats four, and the living room features a cozy L-shaped sofa and a flat-screen TV—perfect for relaxing or socializing. The washer and dryer are conveniently located in the kitchen, making it easy to keep up with laundry during longer stays. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS The master bedroom has 1 queen-size bed with beautiful views. There is a flat-screen smart TV. The 2nd bedroom has a full-size bed. The bathroom is conveniently located between the two bedrooms. PACK AND PLAY (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY): We can leave a complimentary Pack and Play at the property upon request.

KITCHEN Ola Serena features a convenient, fully equipped kitchen with a stovetop, toaster oven, full-size refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker—everything you need for an extended stay. Please note that the kitchen does not include a full oven. GETTING AROUND We recommend moving around via Uber if staying within the general Isla Verde and San Juan area. If you decide to rent a car, please keep in mind that the property DOES NOT INCLUDE parking. LOCATION Ola Serena is located on Isla Verde Beach, Puerto Rico. This is arguably the best urban beach in the Caribbean. The beach is 1.5 miles long, and the Isla Verde strip has a long list of dining and nightlife options. The apartment is 5 minutes from the airport and has car rentals, supermarkets, a Walgreens, and multiple hotels and casinos within walking distance. There are many things to do in the surrounding areas; here are some of our favorites: Chill at the beach! It is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you stay at Ola Serena. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach. Alambique beach bar - great casual food on the beach a couple of doors down. We love the fish tacos and the local Ocean Lab Brewery Mambo beer. Head there early to beat the crowds. For a very special occasion, book ahead on Opentable for an epic tasting menu meal at Marmalade in Old San Juan. You can book fitness classes and massages at the el San Juan hotel a few doors down, including beach yoga for $15. Buy any groceries and anything else you need at the local Pueblo grocery store, CVS, and Walgreens - all open 24/7. For a low-key, relaxing beach day, consider sitting under the palm trees when it’s too windy to use a beach umbrella. The shade and breeze are amazing! Shop at The Mall of San Juan. This brand new mall is a 10-minute drive from the apartment and has excellent shops and dining options. Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 30-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship. Spend a day in Old San Juan. Ola Serena is a 15 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There is a lot of history and great food and drinks to savor.
