About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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

Welcome to La Perla Roja!! Renovated cozy cottage w/ POOL, laundry & parking in great location, minutes to the SJU & Old San Juan. Walk to Ultimo Trolley beach, Isla Verde beach or Ocean Park beach. Walking distance to Calle Loiza, Isla Verde & Ocean Park amenities. Gated shared courtyard w/ outdoor dining space, hammock & grill. Full AC w/ Wifi & Netflix. NOT A RESORT, intended for the tourist wanting an authentic local experience, not a tourist trap. Come see why I love it!
The only beach essentials included are beach chairs and towels, chairs are located next to yellow house.

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

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.

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

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.

Questions about local real estate - or curious about the team here?? We are happy to help!!

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 available 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 PR. Get the automatic toll included - it makes life much easier.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Comfortable cottage in convenient location
We enjoyed our stay at Perla Roja Guesthouse. It is in a convenient location to explore the Ocean Beach and Isla Verde areas. The home had plenty of space for our family of four. We appreciated the easy walk to grocery store, restaurants and the beach. The host provided excellent communication and very helpful recommendations.

Weekend getaway
The checkin information was accurate and easy to follow. My only complaint was the gate keypad, the ‘C’ sticks probably from over use. Not a biggie. The location was great for a quick walk to restaurants and the grocery store was about 5 minutes away on foot. The cottage was stocked with amenities, so look around before you go out buying things. On property management was very pleasant. Accommodating but not overbearing!

Great hosts, loved the pool
The hosts were communicative and helpful, and even had ideas of places to visit during our stay. It was right next to a great neighborhood and an easy walk to grocery and beach.
