Beautiful Views

This is a beautiful beach house. We would rate it all 5 stars but there are a couple little things that might be an issue for some people and we made the best of. Little things are in need of upkeep. Sheets could be replaced. Paint is peeling in several places. Patio chairs were rusty. The house next door does have barking dogs. Mainly barking late at night or 4am. The alarm system has a VERY loud door chime that is too loud when others are sleeping. Plus side was lots of quality towels, good sized pool and air in the bedrooms.

Loved staying here!

This place was great for our group- we were walking distance to the beach, close to a grocery store and amazing restaurant. We made many meals here as well. It had everything we needed. The views just sitting in the hammock on the back porch was so relaxing and tranquil. We loved it and we’d stay here again in the future.

Second time staying here.

The location and property is a perfect place for families looking to enjoy a local Puerto Rico experience in a safe and quiet neighborhood. You are within walking distance to Mar Chiquita, and a very short drive to Mar Bella. The hosts are very responsive, and whether you want to relax by the pool over looking the ocean, or head out and explore local spots, there is plenty to keep you busy. We love this location, and will definitely be back.

Great getaway!

We were two families and had an amazing vacation in Puerto Rico. The house was well stocked, beautiful location, and very comfortable to stay at. Fernando and Margarita are wonderful, they met us there the first day and gave us lots of great tips and information. The house is in a great central location if you plan on doing activities on both sides of the island. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Spring Break!!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The house was very well furnished and had everything we could need. Although our timing coming in and leaving out did not work with meeting the home owner, Fernando, he was very prompt at returning text messages when we had questions and was a pleasure to deal with. We would love to come back and stay at this house.

Beautiful home overlooking the ocean.

We all had a very good time at the pool and playing games that they had for us there pool tables, cornhole, dominoes that we played almost every other night and swim in the pool quite a bit when it was hot during the day it had a beautiful beach to walk on down below. The owners were absolutely wonderful. We got to meet at the end of our day. Hope to see them again.

Literal slice of heaven!!

This place was a dream for my family vacation. Spacious enough for everyone to branch out and have their own space but personal enough to do close family activities together. I can’t stress how amazing the view is! And sleeping/waking to the sound of the waves everyday was so calming. Fernando was an amazing host and I would re visit this property in a heartbeat!

This home is incredible. From the views on the upper and lower patios, the amazing pool, to the well maintained landscaping. Fernando and his wife are great people and extremely helpful. We will definitely book this home again. It's a 10/10 and the Mar Chiquta Beach is the best on all of Puerto Rico :). Thank you.

Wonderful

We absolutely love this house and its location! The owner's are incredibly kind and thoughtful and make the entire process a breeze. The pool is amazing, the view is amazing, and our family has now had two wonderful vacations while staying here. It's close enough to the beach that you can walk, and there are great restaurants close by as well. There is a Walmart about 15 minutes away for groceries and supplies if needed. The local market is just down the street. The bedrooms have AC, which is a total plus. The beds are comfortable, the house is clean and well appointed. We cannot wait to come back!

A Perfect Get-Away Home

Sitting on the upper deck in a rocking chair listening to the crashing waves, laughing with good friends and watching your children having fun in the pool--that's how I describe this experience. The previous reviews are true about the welcoming and gracious home-owners. The home is well manicured and landscaped. The only heads-up is the rooster crowing early on vacation and it was sad to see poor animal care standards in the neighbor's yard next door.

PARADISE

I am not much of a person to leave reviews. This was our first time on a family vacation to PR. The communication with Fernando is excellent and he is the type of person that will go out of his way, for an unforgettable vacation experience. You will truly experience a beautiful landscaped scenery, with a breathtaking view overlooking the pool and ocean. For family gatherings, it has everything you need for the perfect entertainment. The inside is clean, It can use some upgrades on the mattresses, however, I was here for a family vacation and enjoyed this place and PR to the fullest. l

outstanding space by the ocean

Fernando and Margarita have a lovely home by the ocean. The outside space here is amazing. Lots of spaces to hang out by the pool, on an outside covered porch. The inside had 3 very adequate bedrooms. The second bathroom was downstairs, so harder to use . The owner was very responsive to our needs, and very helpful with local recommendations. This part of Puerto Rico is pretty rural , so you had to travel a bit if you wanted to do anything outside of local smalll restaurants. There is a lovely beach very close to house, but pretty rugged shoreline all along the North coast of PR But the house and owner are great!

Beautiful Ocean Vista

This is a beautiful property and a great space for entertainment. Once we got into the house, we went to the grocery store which was at the end of the road about three minutes away. It has most everything you need to get started but if you need more bulk items, there is a Walmart 15 minutes from the house. Kitchen was well equipped with all the standard appliances and utensils. While at the house, the kids stayed in the pool and when they weren’t in the pool, there were using the pool table. Those two things kept them busy for hours. The outdoor “kitchen” area is great for adults as well. It has an oversized grill, wet bar, drink fridge and wine fridge with plenty of seating to entertain while looking at the pool and ocean.There is a great beach 5 minutes from the house with a lava reef protecting it from the ocean. Wear water socks or have sandals/shoes as you will want to climb up the lava reef/wall for some great views.There is a great restaurant 5 minutes from the house the owners recommended. We tried it on our last night and it was well worth it. It has fantastic food!A few of the cons of the property:No hot water upstairs in the kitchen or bathroom. The down stairs shower has hot water but only of you keep the water pressure low. It took us two days to figure that out. The shower handle came off at one point, but the owner had it fixed that afternoon. Most of the adults founds the beds to be very uncomfortable.Biggest drawback was lack of hot water.

AMAZING!

This review is waaaay overdue...first let me start by thanking Fernando and Margarita for the upmost amazing personalities and there welcoming hospitality into there beautiful home. The house has amazing ocean views from both the second floor balcony and pool area which is where we spent most of our time bbq with family. The house is near everything and yet secluded enough from all at the same time. We travelled with a total of 8 of us and the house never felt crowded and yes it is a must to brew some Spanish coffee and sit out on the balcony in the morning to see that beautiful sunrise and hear the crashing waves. This place is definitely magical and left us all feeling like we didn't want to leave. thanks again Fernando and Margarita, Valentin Fam

Villa illusion

What an amazing vacation! Villa illusion was a beautiful home with an amazing view of the beach. My favorite days of the trip may have been the ones spent in the hammock on the porch reading and listening to the ocean. The kitchen is stocked with cooking utensils and spices, making meal prep easy. There are a few restaurants close by, plenty within a 20 minute drive. A car is a necessity, though. The bedrooms have AC. We tried not to use it the first few nights so we could hear the ocean, but even in April, it was warm enough that we needed it. Fernando was very responsive to questions and needs, both with questions about the house and local recommendations! There is a nice beach within walking distance. The location was a great launching point to explore both the east and west of Puerto Rico. We can’t wait to go back!

🌞 Ocean View - Great Location - Excellent Hosts!

The view, the view, the VIEW! Could not get enough of it. Fernando and Margarita are wonderful hosts. Very easy to reach and quick to respond to our questions. The house had everything we needed. The weather was very hot during our stay so we really appreciated the excellent air conditioning in the bedrooms. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes, pots/pans, utensils. Cabinet is loaded with spices which was great as we like our spices! We really enjoyed the downstairs kitchen with grill. Mar Chiquita beach is only a 2 minute drive. Other public beaches are not too far away. Plenty of places to shop and eat nearby as well. The central location made it especially convenient for us venture out to both ends of the island. It was wonderful to be able to end our busy days back at Villa Illusion where we could relax, enjoy the pool, and listen to the ocean sounds. Fernando and Margarita - Thank you for your hospitality!

Overall Great

We stayed here as a baseball team for a tournament. The view and location were simply amazing. The owners were always available for any questions we had. We have zero complaints. That being said, there are some things that I would like to inform people. There are two dogs next door that continually bark. This is out of the owners control and it did not bother us, but I can't speak for everyone else. There was also issues with hot water due to the water pressure. We ended up getting warmer water by the end of our stay, but the first couple days took some getting used to. The owner came by to try to fix the issue and I believe he finally did. Our group consisted on 6 men 30+ years old that didn't mind these issues that were out of his control. It was overall a fantastic stay and we would gladly stay here again.
