The Space:

Step inside to an open, light-filled layout where the living room, dining area, and kitchen flow easily into one another — the kind of space that feels equally suited to a lazy morning in or a dinner with friends. Large windows fill the living room with natural light, and comfortable sofas make it easy to settle in for a movie night or unwind with a book.



The kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and everything you need to cook a real meal, whether that's your morning coffee or a full dinner for the group. The adjoining dining area gives you a proper spot to gather around the table.



Both bedrooms are outfitted with a queen bed, sleeping up to 4 guests across the apartment's 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. High-speed WiFi, a flat-screen TV, and air conditioning keep things comfortable throughout, and a record player and ping pong table round out the entertainment options for a lazy afternoon in.



Step out onto the private balcony with your morning coffee for a quiet moment before the day gets going — just steps from the beach, this apartment offers an easy, unhurried escape by the sea.



Guest Access:

You'll have full access to the entire apartment, as well as the property's shared amenities and common areas. Check-in is fully self-guided via keypad lock, and the apartment is on a single level with no stairs to navigate. Free private parking is available on-site (first come, first served).



The Neighborhood:

Casa Elena sits inside a gated, beachfront residential community in Ocean Park, one of San Juan's most beloved coastal neighborhoods — a walkable stretch known for its laid-back charm and easy access to the water.



Ocean Park Beach: a 1-minute walk, one of Puerto Rico's favorite spots for kitesurfing, paddleboarding, and beach days

Berlingeri Gelato Cafe: highly rated local spot (4.8★, 500+ reviews) for coffee and gelato

Molini's Pizza & Salads: neighborhood favorite (4.8★, ~400 reviews)

Getting Around:

Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) is about 11 minutes away by car. Condado is roughly 9 minutes away, and Old San Juan is about 18 minutes away, making it easy to explore beyond the neighborhood. A car or rideshare is the most convenient way to get around, and guests have several reliable options: rideshare apps like Uber, rental cars for full flexibility, or metered taxis readily available throughout San Juan. Ocean Park itself is very walkable, with the beach, cafes, and restaurants all within a short stroll.

Utilities & Weather in San Juan, Puerto Rico



Electricity Management: Due to the energy situation in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, power outages can occur from time to time. We have a backup generator so you're never left in the dark, though its runtime depends on responsible use. During an outage, we recommend limiting higher-draw items — A/C, microwave, hair dryer, washer/dryer, and chargers — so the generator lasts as long as possible for everyone.

Water Supply: Water outages are uncommon, and we're prepared with backup water tanks on-site. If an external service interruption happens, we recommend using water only for the essentials and pausing the washing machine until service is restored.

Hurricane & Storm Policy: We want your stay to be safe, but weather is out of our control. No refunds are issued for weather-related cancellations; however, in the event of a storm, we're happy to help you reschedule, subject to calendar availability.

We appreciate your understanding and will always do our best to support you.
