Wonderful stay - highly recommend

We had a wonderful week at The Happy Place. The view of the ocean is spectacular. The waves are nature's sound machine, creating a peaceful relaxing environment for sleeping. The building is very secure, fenced and gated, with a secure elevator. The neighborhood is lots of fun, lively with restaurants galore. Overall a great stay - highly recommend.

The location is excellent. The apt is clean, week kept! Would booked again!!!!

The property is gated, secure, and maintained. The personnel on location were professional, helpful, committed, and returned calls or text immediately. The property owner, although not on site, was on top of everything. Also, answered all text or calls immediately. Very tentative!!!

This was our first trip to the Puerto Rico and the condo we stayed at was absolutely perfect. The attendant, Senor Ramos, was so incredibly kind and helpful and it seemed like he was always around working on something. Despite being in such a busy part of the city, we felt safely tucked away in our own private, ventilated, space. The views are incredible. We spent most of our vacation having our meals by the ocean, playing in the water, and watching the sunrise. The condo has everything you'll need, from cooking pots and blenders, to beach chairs and towels. When our rental car wouldn't start, Senor Ramos even had jumper cables he lent to us. Anything you need is a two-minute walk away and even the tours, museums , and Old San Juan, are at most a 10-15 minute drive away (the air-port included), depending on traffic. Absolutely would recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect beach vacation.

My Heart is Full!

First time to Puerto Rico, I am half Puerto Rican and my family is from there. I searched for places all over and came across this Happy Place! It sure was, everything you need, comfort, style, beachfront, the sound of waves, parking, location, and the view! With floor to ceiling windows, and screens that open you get a nice breeze and view of the Ocean 24/7! Mr Ramos was amazing and Elsa very responsive. I even shared the location with Family so if they have out of town guests come into town they could stay here. The convenience of stores, restaurants, Starbucks, etc. This place will be reserved the next time we go! I was sad to leave, but I must say my experience in PR was one for the books, and this Condo had a lot to do with our experience. I hope you can enjoy this space!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We had such a phenomenal time here at this apartment right on the beach! Excellent location, walkable to lots of restaurants/bars, short Uber ride to Old San Juan. Host was very responsive and the property manager was on site, extremely friendly and welcoming, available to assist with anything as needed such as providing extra supplies (trashbags, soap, etc.). Parking spot included, felt very secure/safe with a gated entry. Such a gorgeous view, right on the beach-The pictures truly don't do it justice! Highly recommend this incredible place for your time in Puerto Rico.
