This home was a wonderful oasis for our stay in San Juan. We spent most of the days playing in the pool, lounging outside, and watching the kids play on the swingset. It had everything you would want from a rental. A well-stocked kitchen, laundry with detergent, soap/shampoo, towels, beach supplies, glassware, grill. etc.

TIP -- if you have a car drive to the beach right in front of Parque Barbosa. There was ample parking in the morning and you can simply walk out onto the beach. We had slighter older grandparents with us, who didn't want to walk much. The waves were big and made swimming hard, but it was a 3 minute drive and easier than trying to find an "in" to the beach in Isla Verde. The kids loved jumping the waves and digging in the sand. The distance to walk to the nearest beach was about 5-10 minutes for us (but still only a few blocks).

San Juan is in very good shape after the hurricane. GO! Spend your tourist dollars and help them out. We were there with a range of people from 18 months to 80 years old and had no concerns. The street lights were out, but if you've ever driven in PR, you know that everyone kind of drives a little crazy anyway--and since we are from Boston it was nothing to us. The food was excellent. Try "Cut" across the street from the rental. They sell amazing prime beef, perfect on the grill. On Saturday they had a fun little BBQ and a party. It was quite hip and happening. We also ate at Lot 23, Oceano (such an amazing view!), Ola Bistro at the Vanderbilt (also a great view and protected from the rain), and a few places in Old San Juan. Overall, it was an amazing trip. A note--the neighborhood right around the rental can be a bit rough, but it didn't bother us. It's a mixed area with big nice home and some public housing, too. Most of San Juan is that way, and inside the rental we always felt perfectly relaxed and safe.
