The Space:
El Nido is an exquisitely decorated 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat located in a waterfront building in the heart of Condado—perfect for couples, solo travelers, or close friends looking to enjoy the best location in San Juan.
While the unit itself offers charming city views, the building sits directly on the scenic Condado Lagoon and is just a short walk to Condado Beach, top restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques.
Step inside and experience a thoughtfully designed space featuring a cozy bedroom, one full bathroom, an additional half bathroom off the living area, a comfortable lounge and family room, and a fully equipped modern kitchen—ideal for everything from light snacks to home-cooked meals. The interior blends style and comfort, making it well-suited for both short getaways and extended stays.
Guests also have access to the pool at La Rada Condominium—a serene and refreshing spot overlooking the Condado Lagoon.
With its unbeatable location and inviting atmosphere, El Nido offers the perfect home base for your San Juan adventure.

GETTING AROUND

LOCATION
El Nido is located in Condado, Puerto Rico. This is considered a prime location in San Juan. From El Nido, you are a 3-5-minute walk away from the sand, and within walking distance of some of the best dining options, Puerto Rico has to offer. Forget the rental car because from here you can walk or Uber to everything! The apartment is approx. 10 minutes from the airport, restaurants, parks, supermarkets, pharmacies, and shops, all within walking distance.
There are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:
1. Chill at the beach! It is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you stay at El Nido. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and a cooler for a long day at the beach.
2. The waterfront area near El Nido has plenty of restaurants offering beautiful views of the ocean. You can enjoy local Puerto Rican cuisine, fresh seafood, and cocktails while watching the sunset.
3. Condado is known for its high-end shopping and boutique stores. You can explore the nearby Condado Shopping Center for luxury brands and local stores.
4. Condado offers a lively nightlife scene with plenty of bars, clubs, and lounges to enjoy after sunset.
5. Lunch or dinner at La Placita de Santurce, a local market with 20+ restaurants and awesome nightlife. We love Santaella restaurant, which offers local cuisine with a modern approach and is in La Placita.
6. Explore Calle Loiza, which is blocks from the apartment. This up-and-coming hip street is littered with funky dining and shopping options. Start off with a margarita at Acapulco and head down the strip stopping at Sabrina or Azucena for sophisticated Puerto Rican food.
7. Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 40-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship. We can help coordinate tours to this destination.
8. Spend a day in Old San Juan. El Nido is a 10 min Uber ride from the oldest city in the US. There is a lot of history to be seen and great food, drinks, and shopping to enjoy!
