We had a wonderful stay at The Happy Place. We fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing onto shore each night. The apartment is small but clean. It is comfortable for two people. You have everything you need including items to use on the beach. Mr. Ramos is very nice. The proximity to the beach cannot be beat. You are steps away from water. It is easy to rent lounge chairs and umbrellas (30 for two chairs and an umbrella). There is a drink stand nearby where you can purchase cold drinks. There are people who walk around and sell coconuts that they cut so you can drink the water.You are one block away from a Walgreens. There are numerous places to get food. The Mahi Mahi at La Dulce Vida was excellent. The best meal we had was at Tacos and Tequila. The food and drinks are absolutely fantastic. We can recommend taking the ferry to the Bacardi Rum Distillery and going on the Founders Tour. Walking around Old San Juan is also very enjoyable.

Well, this was our third stay in three years at The Happy Place and it just keeps getting better and better. The place is always immaculate comfortable and very convenient. The host and her assistant, who meets us at the property has always been very sweet and helpful. Can’t wait for our next Puerto Rico adventure at The Happy Place.

Honeymoon/ First time in Puerto Rico

The property is right on the beach and the balcony view is great. We stayed for a week and this is a prime location for anyone staying in san juan for a teip. The property is within walking distance of many eatery/ drink spots and if you are traveling to other spots, its a short uber ride from many of the destinations you might be seeing. Overall Elsa is a very commincative host and the property manager Mr. Ramos is very friendly and easily approachable for any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

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!
