Historic 3BR + Private Terrace · Ocean Park · Steps to Beach & Loíza St
Welcome to La Chiocciola Apt 3 — a stunning 3-bedroom apartment in a beautifully preserved 1940s colonial building in the heart of Ocean Park, one of San Juan's most sought-after addresses. The original 1940s colonial tiles set the tone the moment you walk in — a nod to San Juan's rich architectural heritage. The fully refreshed kitchen and brand-new bathrooms ensure every modern comfort is at your fingertips. Each bedroom features a queen bed and air conditioning, and the living room includes a flat-screen TV and a queen sofa bed — comfortably accommodating up to 8 guests. Step outside onto your private terrace and fire up the BBQ — the perfect setting for an evening under the Puerto Rican sky, with the warm breeze and the sound of the city all around you. One parking spot is available on-site (shared, first-come basis). Location could not be better. Steps from the beach, walking distance to restaurants, supermarkets, and boutique shops, and just around the corner from the vibrant and colorful Loíza Street — one of San Juan's most beloved neighborhoods. A 24/7 supermarket is just 5 minutes away, a famous local breakfast spot is right around the corner, and La Placita de Santurce is only 5–7 minutes away — the heart of San Juan's nightlife and food scene. Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport is only 7 minutes away, making your arrival and departure completely stress-free. This is not just a place to stay — it is a place to live San Juan like a local.

Amazing stay, the location was fantastic, the apartment was just what we needed, the deck was a great hangout spot, host was extremely responsive. 10/10
Overall, this is a good place to stay near the beach in the San Juan area. We really liked the outdoor patio and easy access to parking. Finally, the location is near to most amenities you could use. It is a adult friendly location.
Overall, we were very pleased with the comfortable beds and adequate bathrooms. Location was great - we found a new beach everyday! The outdoor seating area is large and spacious.
Really a perfect location for our group. We rented a vehicle and parking was available in front of the unit. We were able to walk to the Beach ( Ocean Park) and caught some great sunrises ! Great restaurants close by, Bebos cafe , Panuchos was really good , close to the Grocery store where we also purchased liquor for our stay! Cristian was a great host , and we would stay here again!
We liked the location and self checkin/out. The bedrooms had a/c and several fans for living room. We didn't cook, but the kitchen was well stocked. Patio is great. The highway traffic noise didn't bother us, but it is close by and all hours
Great location close to everything. Not a luxurious set up but very well kept apartment with many amenities. Excellent value for money. Instant and excellent communications with host when needed. Will try and stay there for another wedding next year!
We loved being in a home with 3 bedrooms. Loved the balcony to enjoy coffee in the mornings or an evening cocktail. A short drive or within walking distance to excellent restaurants and the beach. We would definitely return.
We went for a week long stay and this house was perfect! It had everything we needed and it was also very cute. The patio was what really sealed the deal for us. It was also close to everything! The host was wonderful. I would definitely stay again!
Amazing apt #3. Location, fantastic to old town and the beach. Owner, amazing!
Absolutely adorable 3 bed, 2 bath, with a lovely terrace. Rooms were clean and loved the pretty tiles on the floor. Location was amazing! 100% will be back. Owner, amazing. My son was sick and very quick to respond where to go. A must stay!!!
There were five of us all adults. The place was small but comfortable. Everybody had a comfortable sleeping area. 3 bedrooms and 3 Queen size beds, plus a sofabed and 2 bathroom with shower. We really enjoyed the balcony in the evenings. It was close to the beach and and to the malls, and restaurants.

Clean, but old
The people of Puerto Rico are fantastic. The places we toured were awesome. The accommodations did exacctly match the photos..the place was worn, dated, BUT very clean.. the host kept us well informed and replied to my message immediately. We will be back to PR, but will opt for a hotel.snlive up to the pictures. The place is wirn, datedtoured
Great stay for the price. Location was convenient to everything. Only 16 minutes to Old San Juan, close to beach, shops and restaurants. Parking could be a little better. There is parking but it’s narrow and you can easily get blocked in. Owner was very responsive when needed. Very good stay. I would recommend.
Cristian is an excellent host. We arrived at the property about 11:00 PM and VRBO had not sent me the check-in details. Cristian was very responsive and assisted with us getting into the property, even phoning me to ensure we were in.
The property is within walking distance of restaurants and bars so it is a good location. Really enjoyed our stay and would stay again next time in San Juan.
Cristian was very responsive to our questions. The bedrooms were nice, and the beds and sheets were quite comfortable. The location was great for walking to restaurants, shops, and the beach. We ended up parking on the street instead of in the spaces on the sides of the building since the protocols were a little unclear (to be fair, we did not contact Cristian about it). There is a busy highway nearby, so there was some noise. We would stay here again.
Family of 4 stayed at this property for 3 nights. Our adult children had not been to Puerto Rico before and this was the perfect launch pad for a few days in San Juan.
Property was well stocked with all of the basics and was clean. It was easy to find. The outdoor space included with this rental was charming and made the space very comfortable. Air conditioning worked great.
We could walk to restaurants and beaches, area felt safe. Parking was easy and convenient.
Would stay again.
