One minute walk to the beach!
We are located in the heart of Luquillo, a small beach town with a surfer’s vibe. We are within a one-minute walk to the beach. We are within walking distance to restaurants, bars, food trucks, and La Pared. The famous Luquillo Kioskos and El Yunque (the only tropical rainforest within the US parks system) are located within a few minutes drive. We offer high-speed internet for those who need to work. This is a great place to relax and also experience a true cultural expression of Puerto Rico!

Enjoyed the location close to the playa!
Also the thoughtful touches like bug spray and aloe vera. Wifi worked great. Enjoyed listening to the coquí frogs and nature sounds at night.

Cozy, convenient, inexpensive: perfect little getaway
We were so thankful to have gotten to stay in this sweet studio so close to a beach. We loved relaxing in the back patio and Playa Azul was so lovely! We spent most days at that beach because of the convenient location. They left us everything we needed for the beach. We also enjoyed walking to downtown Luquillo for dinner. Everything was communicated to us and was simple to figure out. We had a wonderful time!

Great location
Property was just as advertised with a bonus of a large patio with a hammock. It was walking distance to the beach, bars, restaurants and several little shops. Great neighborhood. Loved our stay here

Enjoyable stay
We enjoyed every minute at the apartment. Luquillo Beach was just a two minute walk. Parking spot is the last spot to the right in front of the white gate.Thank you

Great little place
Quaint little place near the beach. I loved the location. The property itself was fine but the neighbors had dogs that barked frequently and the close proximity and noise of the neighbors could be an issue.

Lovely Condo, Nice Patio, 1/2 block from Beach
Very cute & spacious condo. 2 vinyl couches can sleep individuals or rolled together for full size “bed”. Plenty of towels, beach towels, beach cart with floating mats, beach chairs & hammock. Nice outside shower, patio with 2 chairs & end table. Extra toilet paper, paper towels, big pantry with lots of cookware & utensils. Highly recommend. Great host.

The Beach Condo
What a wonderful stay at the Turtle Spot! So close to the beach! Was delighted to have some beach chairs and beach towels to use while we had beach time! Overall, it is located in a nice, safe area. Has a dedicated off street parking spot.

Not equipped
The property was very nice decorated but, the room and sheets smelled, I had to go the a laundry place to wash the bedding and towels… the water pressure was weak and unable to regulate the temperature, it would get cold then very hot, no dresser nor closet to put your things . The floor was dirty. The fridge was rusty. Needless to say not impressed

It was a very beautiful and spacious place. The communication was alwasy there and when they say 1 min walk to the beach its really more like 30sec. I cant wait to go back again.
This place is cozy , all you need for a quick getaway or longer . Apt is nice , has small back patio . Best part walk out make left half block you on the beach . Will come again thank you !
