Paola was incredibly responsive and helpful with any needs, including an offer to extend when flights were cancelled. The apartment served our needs perfectly - less than 100 feet from a gorgeous, quiet beach.

Quiet Family-friendly Beachfront Villa
We had a wonderful stay at Playa Collect! Paola provided all the details in advance, so we had no trouble finding the place or checking in.The apartment is just as cute as the photos — minimalist, modern, and very clean. I traveled with my husband and 6-year-old daughter, and it was the perfect size for us. We loved that our daughter had her own room and bathroom.The apartment was so well stocked! Plenty of linens, towels, and kitchen appliances — which we appreciated since our daughter has celiac disease, and we cook at home often. There were also thoughtful touches for kids: children’s dishware, beach toys, and a small toddler table.The beds were comfortable, the rooms had nice shades, and the AC worked great.The location is excellent — just steps from a quiet, uncrowded beach. We’d considered staying near Luquillo Beach, but we were so glad we ended up here. It felt peaceful and private, which we loved.We did drive to Luquillo to visit the kiosks, which was a short, fun trip! The food at Wepa Arepa was fantastic — highly recommend! We also had a really nice meal at Roots Coastal Kitchen at the resort next door to celebrate our anniversary. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to small families looking for a an easy and chill beach stay!
