LOCATION:

The Seagull is located on Isla Verde Beach, Puerto Rico. This is arguably the best urban beach in the Caribbean. The beach is 1.5 miles long and the Isla Verde strip has a long list of dining and nightlife options. The apartment is 5 minutes from the airport and has car rentals, a CVS, and multiple hotels and Casinos all within walking distance. There are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:

• Chill at the beach! It is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you are staying at The Seagull. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach.
• Lunch or dinner at La Placita de Santurce a local market with 20+ restaurants and awesome nightlife. We love Santaella restaurant: local cuisine with a modern approach located in La Placita.
• Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 30-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.
• Spend a day in Old San Juan. The View is a 10 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There is a lot of history to be seen and great food and drinks to be had.
• Shop at The Mall of San Juan. This new mall is a 5-minute drive from the apartment and has excellent shops and dining options.
