"Caracol Del Mar" Beach Apartment 5 min walk Ocean Park

“El Caracol Del Mar” or “The Seashell” characterizes our guest apartment hideaway, a separate space for you on our residential beach house property only a 5-minute walk to the beach. It’s furnished for a cozy stay in the heart of San Juan and its trendiest beach vibes of “Ocean Park”

Location: Centered in the middle of all San Juan has to offer. You will only be a short UBER ride to Everything. 8 mins from the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport. Walgreens, Walmart, or grocery stores. 12 mins by car to OLD San Juan historic Spanish architecture, 6 mins to “Condado”/ “Isla Verde” hotels, casinos, and clubs, 8 mins to “Santurce’s” local art and nightlife. Fine dining, international and local cuisine, is accessible via UBER or a few different food delivery apps.
The apartment is well-equipped to meet the needs of a traveler. Beach gear is readily available to grab n go. A backyard patio is covered with a canopy for outdoor seating.

Perks for staying here: We are hosts and tour guides. We personally operate small group tours to The Tropical rainforest, Bioluminescent bay kayaking, Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, and more. We can help package together lodging and Tours that save you time and money.
Embrace the call of adventure and find joy in the moment. You’re likely to go scuba diving or jump into tropical rainforest natural pools. Take pics with cascades or waterfalls. Bask in the sun on a tropical beach. Bite into a crunchy "alcapurria", or "empanadilla". Join a salsa dance party in the street and dare to live every moment to its fullest in Puerto Rico.

Great place by the beach
Janice and Terrence were super nice and accommodating. The beach is just a short walk away and it is close to a grocery store. The apartment isn’t fancy, but it’s got everything you need for a visit. The hot water for the shower is a little tricky, but it does work.

Property was clean and comfortable. Lots of extras in case you forgot to pack something. Fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, etc. Smart TV with access to all your streaming services. Terrance and Janice are the absolute best hosts. They are also tour operators. We took a fantastic rainforest hike, complete with waterfalls, rope swings, cliff jumping and natural springs. After dark we took a kayak tour to the bioluminescent bay. It was the most amazing experience. Total darkness, under the stars and with each stroke of the paddle, it lit up with bright blue light. Definitely a must do, if you are in Puerto Rico. I recommend the apartment and the hosts highly!

Very safe friendly neighborhood, security controls the area in which this vrbo is located so big thumbs up. Five min walk to the nearest beach. Also the property manager locks main gate and you lock your own apartment door. You will see joggers alot of bikers so it's a very suburban area. Janice is a wonderful person she is very cool and welcoming also she stays out the way , you should know Terrance and Janice are tour guides so if you need to know about the island you are in great hands . I can eyes close recommend this place, I put my word behind it good people safe environment everything you need close by. Janice and T are very modern artistic Manhattan hip type of people very beautiful. The room felt very private Total 2 bedroom apartment vibe. Have fun and God speed. Hopefully see them next year for Noche de San Juan ❤️
