A lovely condo in close proximity to beaches and Old San Juan

The condo is beautiful and comfortable. The location is ticked away inside a gated community with easy drives to beaches and Old San Juan. Also a good location to make day trips to the West of the island. We enjoyed all of PR!

Thanksgiving getaway

Excellent stay! Walking distance to the beach. Calm neighborhood. Many ammenities. Narrow stairs ti the second and third floor, whichnwas no problem for us, but could be an issue with older guests or those with mobility difficulties. Very clean and comfortable. Totally recommend it and will probably book again. Super easy check in and out process and very good communication with property manager.

The Best place by far.

I loved the location in a beautiful gated community. The house was clean and the rooms was perfected for my family. WiFi, and the pool was awesome the kids loved it. Across the street from the beach, close to the supermarket and shopping area. Beautiful restaurants and fast food spots. A Walgreens 5 minutes away just in case. And what can I tell you about the owner Janelle and the host Inaru, they respond to your phone calls and texts as fast. It your planning a family trip this is the place to go. I will return.

Beautiful home away from home!

It is an excellent Villa with amazing location - 2 min walking to the beach, 5 min away from restaurants, grocery stores, cvs,etc. The host went above and beyond to ensure you would feel welcomed and at home. Small thoughtful touches include kitchen sticker with dressings, coffee, teas, water; bathrooms had toothpaste and cotton pads. So many great recommendations on restaurants and activities. Highly recommend staying at the Villa and enjoying the art work there. Many works are from local artists.

Amazing Stay!

We had such a good time hanging out on the porch and spent a great deal of time sight-seeing and enjoying our family vacation. So, we were really only in the town house to sleep and during beach time. We are a family of 7 with 4 Daughters and a Son ranging in age from 10-21 yrs olds. Everyone was super comfortable in the beds and air conditioning worked great throughout the home. There are a good amount of stairs but I loved the needed exercise. Inarú, was very responsive always and made sure we had what we needed. It was a great time and we will definitely stay again and recommend.

A wonderful stay

Our stay for 2 weeks at Villa Alma Marina were exactly as described, and pretty much in line with many of the previous comments from past guests. Janelle was an outstanding host, providing us all that we needed for a super vacation. For our family, the villa was well located. You could choose the well maintained pool, or take a long stroll on the local beach. I loved that we were not that far from old San Juan and the airport. (35-40 minutes) The villa had all that we needed, and plenty of space for a very relaxing vacation. Restaurants, the supermarket and other stores are a quick drive, with lots of choice. We chose local cuisine, and there are plenty of options. Overall, as stated, a wonderful stay.
