The House

One floor, four bedrooms, the whole horizon.

Casa Monteflores is a full-floor penthouse of about 3,000 square feet above Santurce, San Juan: four bedrooms, four full baths, a wraparound terrace, and room for ten.

In a sentence: a four-bedroom, four-bath penthouse in San Juan, Puerto Rico that sleeps up to 10, with king beds in three ocean-view bedrooms and a queen in the fourth, a full kitchen, washer and dryer, 400 Mbps Wi-Fi, two garage spaces, an elevator, and a generator and water cistern so the house keeps running when the island's grid does not. Seven minutes from the airport, under a mile from Ocean Park beach.

Terrace and views

Ocean one way, mountains the other.

The terrace wraps the floor, with lounge chairs and outdoor furniture. From it you see the Atlantic, the Cordillera Central, and the skyline of Condado and Old San Juan. Guests tell us they spend as much time out here as they do in the city.
