The space
[This Airbnb is *not* suitable for infants]

Marvera is our treasured home away from home! We took the leap and decided to purchase this condo for a multitude of reasons. Primarily, we craved a cozy haven in Puerto Rico that we could call our own. We wanted a place to retreat to when visiting family and reconnecting with our roots. In our efforts to create a personal sanctuary, we poured our hearts into remodeling and ensuring it was a good space for our little family of four. Because we will not be staying in the condo long term we decided to open the doors for people that want an immersive journey into the enchanting island of Puerto Rico. We welcome guests who will take care of this space as if it were their own and treat it with the same tenderness we do.


** THE BUILDING **

Marbella del Caribe is a residential building built in 1977. It has two towers (West and East) with 19 floors. Decor and ambience was inspired by old San Juan and the streets of Spain. Our condo is located on the second floor in the West tower with a full beachfront view. The West tower will be painted and remodeled in 2024, we still do not know the exact dates but as soon as I have more information I will update the listing. This should not affect the amenities of the building. Lastly, I hope you enjoy the charm of the 70’ architecture that Marbella del Caribe still has to offer. Use G o o g l e Maps for more photos of the Isla Verde area and the building.
