The house has everything you would want on a vacation and the views are spectacular. My family thoroughly enjoyed relaxing here after our daily adventures. The hosts were very helpful with information about the surrounding areas and things my family might want to try while there. I highly recommend this little slice of paradise for your next get away!

Very relaxing. Everything inside and outside was gorgeous. The person who mowed the lawn while i was there even prepared a coconut straight from one of the trees for me and I tried coconut water right from the coconut for the first time ever, it was delicious.

Secluded mountain getaway

Villa de Dream was an amazing place for my family vacation. The views down the mountain and out to the ocean were a wonderful thing to wake up to and wind down to after a day of exploring. If you don’t mind a mountain drive off the beaten path for some truly spectacular views and quiet time after a day full of island adventures then this property is perfect for you.

Perfection

Best Vrbo experience we have ever had. Hosts were wonderful. Property was incredible. Views are unmatched. Property is spotlessly clean and well equipped. Every amenity you could ever want. Excellent communication and the hosts made it so easy. When we go back to PR and plan to stay in the area, we will stay here without question. It made me want to buy property/home in the area. A genuine 5-star experience. Thank you, April and Jarl!

Peaceful retreat

Everything was as advertised. We saw lots of fruit on the property, but unfortunately they were not ripe enough to eat while we were there. The island lost power but the house generator kicked on automatically and we had no disruptions. We will not miss the narrow curvey roads. Those were exhausting from the beginning.

Wonderful all around

First of all -the view. Paired with the spacious design... you can admire the view from the beautiful living room, from the large porch, from the large patio area, from the little pool. Very well equipped. Good beds. Good AC. Great open spaces. Teenagers loved the casita. Owners are great communicators. No real downsides except maybe paucity of electrical outlets. But the kitchen has many. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

A Perfect, Quiet Getaway

This property is perfect if you're looking for a quiet, tropical retreat! The road to the house is very windy, so you must be comfortable driving in those conditions (I’d say a rental car is a MUST for exploring the island from here). The hosts are extremely communicative and provided us with all necessary information.

Pinch me I'm dreaming

Wow! This place was absolutely beautiful! We only stayed for 3 nights but wish we had been there longer. The home is stunning........the views indescribable. From being able to walk the property to pick fruits, the fun lower porch with darts, pool table & party lights! The dipping pool was great, my 6yo granddaughter loved it! Would highly recommend. April the host gave us some great suggestions where we could go for fun with a 6yo. Hope to return to this amazing home. Thanks April!

Spectacular View

Celebrating my 60th birthday in El Yunque rainforest was better than I had hoped it could be! The layout of the home was perfect for our group for both gathering and privacy. The open kitchen, dining, living was awesome for breakfast and lounging. The upstairs deck and view was another fantastic lounging spot, complete with fans. The outside downstairs gathering space needed a little cleaning attention but everything else was very clean and free of pests. The three main bedrooms are in separate areas of the home so privacy, for three traveling couples, exceeded expectations. Overall, a great place with a respondent hostess - we loved it!

Perfect location

This house was perfect for our first trip to Puerto Rico. We wanted to be not too far from our “to do” list and this house fit the bill! The soaking pool, and multiple deck/patio spaces were perfect for relaxing. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed. The owners were very helpful and responsive. We highly recommend the Villa de Dream!
