What Our Guests Are Saying
I had an extra sense of security being that there was only one way in and out of the gated community and it was guarded.
We arrived. It was a little confusing finding the location but once we did it was excellent. There are stores in walking distance, we walked to the beach. I had an extra sense of security being that there was only one way in and out of the gated community and it was guarded.
Very clean space with AC.
Very clean space with AC. Great location, walking distance to a variety of restaurants, supermarket and beaches. Beautiful pool. Great area to go for a nice walk or run. Entry to the property was a little confusing but the host was very responsive in helping me get in. If you plan on working, bring a hotspot. The wifi was very spotty, so I had trouble trying to work on my computer.
if i ever visit San Juan again, i will definitely book here again!

We had an amazing stay!
We had an amazing stay! Everything from location, cleanliness and space of the property and communication with the property manager. This was our first time using Vbro and would definitely do it again as well as stay here.
Otium was very responsive with any questions and needs.
Otium was very responsive with any questions and needs. They even delivered brand new foam pillows and fresh pillow cases due to my feather allergy. The condo faces the beach so you can hear the waves at night. Easy to walk around Condado for food and shopping. There is beach and pool access from the condo, which is a huge plus. The bed is very comfortable and there are two air conditioner units in the condo which is very nice. There is plenty of storage with the hall closet and bedroom closet.
The building, pool, and beach access was easy to navigate
The building, pool, and beach access was easy to navigate, and the security guards were friendly and helpful. The apartment was just as pictured. We did not have any problems/issues. It could have used I bit more storage space or a place to put your suitcases to get them off the floor. The shower area was great but also could have used a shelf and hooks, somewhere to put your things. The shower is a great size and they provided: shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I guess our only “complaint “ was that the water temperature never stayed where you wanted it. It would deviate from very very hot to almost cold every couple minutes. It really didn’t bother us that much though. The kitchen has all of the basic items that you’ll need. There’s also a grocery store very nearby. They provided two beach chairs, two beach towels, and a cooler. We use these almost every day! We had a great stay, and would definitely stay here again!
The apartment space is just like the pictures.
The apartment space is just like the pictures. The roof top patios are a great space to enjoy the city views and stars at night. Zero complaints about the space, but the area itself is kind of loud with buses, city noise, and also at times loud music from surrounding businesses

Great place & a really great host.
Great place & a really great host. We had 3 adults & a toddler and was able to share the space comfortably . Upon arrival the house was very clean . Definitely will stay again .
Great place right by the water.
Great place right by the water. We love the Isla Verde area. The pool was nice to have on windy days and it felt like we had a cute little apartment on the beach.
This was a good place to stay.
This was a good place to stay. Easy to get around by walking or a quick Uber ride to wherever you needed to be. Security staff was nice and friendly. The area was safe and direct beach access was a plus. It was great that the host provided beach chairs and beach towels so didn’t have to worry about buying or renting them. Lots of local restaurants nearby if you’re a foodie.
This was a great place to stay while on vacation.
This was a great place to stay while on vacation. The place is very basic but clean. I was a little nervous at first seeing the neighborhood but soon felt very safe with the security gates and cameras. It was hard to locate but we were able to figure it out on our own. Overall, it was a great place to stay to visit San Juan without having to pay for an expensive resort or hotel downtown. The pool is a nice touch.
The bed was comfortable, the living space, and having a washer and dryer was a plus in the accommodation
It was a bit difficult to find the property due to no visible numbers on the gate to the address provided so we had no choice but to ask the neighbors. The lockbox was also located in an odd spot but contacting the property management via facetime helped us gained accessed into the property. Otherwise the property in itself was amazing. The bed was comfortable, the living space, and having a washer and dryer was a plus in the accommodation to the property.
It was a great stay, the place is beautiful.
It was a great stay, the place is beautiful. It has two balconies, very clean very bohemian style home. The only thing is there weren’t enough towels or blankets so make sure you bring. Besides that the neighborhood is pretty nice, you can see the airplane flying by and you have local shops around you. It’s worth staying here
Overall a pretty decent place to stay.
Overall a pretty decent place to stay. Walkable, nice pool, easy beach access. Highly communicative host. Only real issue is that the water pressure and temperature in the shower was pretty bad. The building looked very old though so not sure if there is much to be done about that.
Excelente lugar.
Excelente lugar. Una experiencia con tremendo vive local. A pasos de restaurantes, cafés, bares, playa, cine, Placita de Santurce, farmacias, supermercados etc. Muy limpio, cómodo y seguro. Las terrazas tienen una vista impresionante. El anfitrión nos brindó una atención excelente. Nos encantó. Volveremos seguro.
We had a balcony but some chairs would have been great
We had a balcony but some chairs would have been great so we could sit out there as there were no chairs inside either so if we wanted a meal we had to either sit on the bed or stand. Other than that the place was good. Good location for Isla verde beach and restaurants and to get out onto the main road if you’re exploring the island. Pool was nice.
Very nice location next to the beach and walkable to some restaurants.
Very nice location next to the beach and walkable to some restaurants. Transportation very easy via Uber, just have to inform drivers of where the gate entrance is. The apt has everything you need for a nice stay. There are annoying roosters all over PR that decide to wake you up but was still able to have a restful sleep all evenings. There is construction going on in the neighborhood but it was never loud in the early mornings or late evenings. Would definitely stay again! Highly recommend this spot especially considering how expensive the local hotels are for what little you get!
Locations is a hidden GEM.
Locations is a hidden GEM. Location is very secure around with surrounding locations. Villa was clean and very well decorated. Small things like a welcome basket as a nice touch! I contacted the agent on several occasions and the replies were immediate. Even via videochat. Take advantage of the Late checkout, for only $39 bucks we were able to stay til 8pm to catch our 10pm flight. I will be visiting this location again.
The location is amazing!
The location is amazing! Easy to get to Old San Juan, Condado, Calle Loiza, beaches to the west and walkable to the popular bistro cafe. Spacious place with 2 restrooms. It was quiet in the evening so you can get a good nights rest. Great for family traveling together. The building security is super nice. I would note to be a bit quiet when walking through the halls because there can be an echo and you want to be respectful to other residents/guests.
The place is as described
The place is as described and clean would definitely stay again
Otium’s place was spacious and exactly like the pics.
Otium’s place was spacious and exactly like the pics. Location was in a gated area so felt safe and for the most part quiet, except for a dog barking on one night from a neighboring home. Other than that, pretty quiet location. Host was very responsive and checked-in with us very often. We had some bathroom issues with the drain being clogged the first night there, host fixed the issue right away. Also, we received lots of recommendations for places to eat and sightsee. Would absolutely stay here again when visiting PR again! Thank you for having us!
Great spot, a little confusing with two gate entrance but they communicated right away to get in.
Great spot, a little confusing with two gate entrance but they communicated right away to get in. Once there, everything was great.. met neighbors right away, like minded and nice travelers. I’m from Puerto Rico and will use this as my getaway from here on out. Nice pool, great location.. minimal and modern and my only recommendation is you have more bedding available and and extension chord for hair dryer.. also the gate key should be put on a necklace or w bigger tag. They could be lost easily and it’s a necessity to get it without a car.. none of these things can’t be a deterrent, they would just help.. all in all. My favorite spot so far in Ocean Park/ Isla Verde.. great stay and will most definitely be back!! Totally recommend!
A little loud at night due to the window design but overall very nice stay.
A little loud at night due to the window design but overall very nice stay. I felt super safe and the apartment had everything I needed. The rooftop was an awesome bonus. Easy walk to get food and to the famous La Placita.
The views from this apartment are amazing!
The views from this apartment are amazing! Will definitely return and recommend!!
The adorable villas at Otium were just as described.
The adorable villas at Otium were just as described. Miguel or Manuel, (perdoname no me recuerdo) was patient and descriptive as we wandered around trying to find the entrance. Once we got into the property, we were immediately greeted by the Ocean! Stunning view! There is tide pool type areas one can soak their feet & admire some crabs, kitties, and views of the closest beach (Isla Verde/Carolina Beach, short walk-through nature or access through street). There is a skate park next to the entrance which was (for us) a rad addition to the stay. Levi’s restaurant across the street from the Air BnB had great tostones, stews, & cold beer. 787 coffee has great coffee and kind staff. If you enjoy creamy coffee Coquito Latte is a must! Overall, the Boricuas at Otium & the Island want you to enjoy Puerto Rico as much as they do! Our stay was simple, we didn’t ask for much our counterparts at the villa mentioned how attentive and responsive the staff was. Please don’t hesitate to stay here!
