About this property

This bungalow is a 2 bedroom(s), 1 bathrooms, located in San Juan, PR.

Welcome to La Perla Roja! Renovated cozy cottage w/ POOL & parking in great location, minutes to SJU & Old San Juan. Walk to Ultimo Trolley beach, Ocean Park beach, and Isla Verde beach. Walking distance to all Calle Loiza, Isla Verde & Ocean Park amenities. Gated shared courtyard with outdoor dining space & grill. Full AC with Wifi & smart TV. NOT A RESORT, for the traveler wanting a local experience, not a tourist trap. Must enter middle bedroom to access bathroom / front bedroom.

Dakota is available locally and is happy to provide any support possible. Depending on his availability he might meet with you to welcome you personally if needed - there are coded keypads for any-time access.

If you find something that you would like changed - please let me know ASAP and I will see what I can do. Waiting until you check-out doesn't help you or me.

This is a great little area. 3 blocks to beach.. 1/2 block to a large grocery store with everything you need. 8 blocks to Bargain City / All Ways 99 which have any other specialty items you might need. Typically 10 minutes to Old San Juan / 10 minutes to the airport. The beaches are beautiful and low key.

There are also beach chairs next to unit 3 available on a first come, first served basis.

Super convenient - equipped as a home - and walkable to all the amenities... my favorite thing about this space is the inviting outdoor courtyard.. Tropical evenings are meant to be enjoyed outside with a drink in hand.

If you’re looking for resort hotels and tourist traps, this space isn’t for you. This home is for the traveler who likes to blend in with the locals and truly experience a culture in its daily rhythms.

Fall asleep to the calls of the coqui frogs and the cricket songs, wake up to the mourning doves and parrots in the nearby trees. Stroll to the beach for a morning swim, after grabbing a quick breakfast and cafe at the local grocer. For lunch, walk over to the bustling Calle Loiza for some amazing local hip cuisine - Or grab some fresh fruit from the corner stand.

As a treat in the evening, a quick drive and a sunset stroll around romantic Old San Juan is always fun, as the ocean breezes wash away the heat of the day - the walk helps to burn the calories from the delicious frozen tropical fruit ice cream that is sold by the street peddlers in the square... You’ll never find ice cream quite like it anywhere else...

For a day of adventure - head to the rain forest, or go caving, or drive through the salt flats to reach Playa Sucia, and some of the best beaches on earth. The experiences on the island are endless!!

Uber is very convenient here. It's best to rent a car for driving around the rest of the island. Get the automatic toll included - it makes life much easier.

One must go through the second bedroom to access either the bathroom or the main bedroom. The only beach essentials included are beach chairs and towels, beach chairs are next to yellow house.

NO CHILDREN UNDER AGE 5 ALLOWED, DUE TO OPEN POOL. Pool is 8'wide x 16' long x 5' deep and is shared with all units.

Guidebook & WiFi info is provided digitally in your Airbnb reservation details. It is not printed within the home.

San Juan is filled with stray cats, lizards and other creatures - you will likely see them in their daily routine. I also have a small 8 pound dachshund - kept in my quarters and separate outdoor space.

This unit comfortably holds 4 people, it can hold a maximum of 6. And while 6 full grown adults have used it and enjoyed their stay, it’s very close quarters.

On average about once a month the power will go out for up to 4 hours. The island power system is still not at full capacity from the hurricane. While I hope this doesn’t happen to you, please let me know if it does. Please leave the fridge closed, and consider going to the mall (Plaza Las Americas) or something else fun on a different power grid if this happens.

*Gay owned and operated establishment, be kind or kindly move along.

Great communication and pool!

Dakota was very prompt, patient, and kind responding to my various questions! The pool was a nice addition. Also, there are two QR codes on the wall of the living room that give very helpful information about the area. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location in Isla Verde, but the mattresses…

The property is as described. The beds are full size, not queen size. The pool is great. The kitchen is set up nicely and we appreciate having access to the washer and dryer! We spent a lot of time on the patio, which was cozy and inviting. Our only issue was that we did not sleep well because the full size beds were extremely uncomfortable. Different mattresses or memory foam on top of the mattress would help a lot. We stayed three nights. We didn’t find any beach chairs, but they may have been in use by the other renters.Access to Uber is simple and quick at this location. Dakota was very responsive when we contacted him.

Hidden gem close to ask the good spots.

This place was super clean, the staff amazingly friendly and perfect for a quick get away. We were in town for a few days but had a blast, and having a this place as home base made things even better. You're close to an amazing beach, the best breakfast place I've ever eaten at, (bistro Cafe) and 20 minutes from the airport, a castle and the rainforest. You can't go wrong, and this property is very well cared for. Don't hesitate, enjoy your stay!

About the host

Host profile image
Real estate professional.. Living my island dream. Heavily involved with nonprofit for the mentally impaired, I love time with my dachshund, drinking rum on beautiful beaches.. Life can't get much better. Hope you get to come experience the island as I do.

Why they chose this property

Within 10 minutes of pretty much any San Juan attraction, the airport or cruise ships. An easy 40 minute drive to the rainforest.. All while not being in the heart of the crazy tourist s**t. This is a lowkey experience.

What makes this property unique

These are comfortable affordable homes for you and your companions.. Nothing crazy fancy, but everything you need for a comfortable stay in a lively neighborhood with some amazing food!
