Wonderful house!

Group of 6 adult friends had a wonderful stay at this property. We spent a ton of time in the yard/pool - the view was fantastic! The hosts are remarkably fast to respond/communicate - we would stay here again. Neighborhood was quiet/safe and short walk to Mar Chiquita.

Better than the pictures.

We had an incredible stay at the villa illusion. The host and manager of the property was prompt with responses and fixed the very minor issues we had in a very timely manner. The house is set on a hillside with an incredible view of the ocean. A five minute walk to Mar Chiquita. The house was stocked with everything we needed apart from groceries which is obvious. The house was very clean and easy to find and check into. We would and plan to stay here again.

We loved our stay at this property. The pool and view were perfect plus we had all the amenities we could ask for. There was a grocery close by and we ate in good restaurants in Manati and Vega Baha. The property owners were very communicative. We would stay here again!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 is a great house...close to beaches and the pool makes it so that if you stay home your still feeling spoiled. Manati is a great spot to explore the island and feel some of the local culture. Our hosts are gracious and lovely. Perfect.

The beauty of Villa Ilusion becomes an illusion once you enter the property!

We booked 10 nights there are lot of problems in the house but I will do short because no space.1. dishes and house were dirty, we cleaned dishes, bought some towels and salat bowls from Ithe local supermarket.2. Ice maker was not working (it was fixed next day and we had to stay all day there waiting for the handy men to come)3. No HOT WATER whatsoever, will not be in the nearest future, unless the owner invests serious money to get a normal water heater and not solar heather.4. The water pressure was not there, I took some pictures of each problem but unfortunately I can not download it that you and see what I mean by NO WATER PRESSURE. Water was hardly flowing from the shower.5. Beds were very small and uncomfortable, the air conditioning were in the bedrooms only, so the bedroom was cold and leaving room/kitchen hot. 6. There was only 1 closet, once we saw it we did not unpack our luggages. Tiny and lot of other items there that were not supposed to be there.7. Water pump was leaking badly, that was the main reason why there were no water pressure in the shower. 8. Pool was filthy dirty. they cleaned it TWICE while we were there and from 10 night we were "allowed" to use the pool only 2 days.The view is wonderful!!! The area is fenced and our cat was happy!Now you know what really you can expect.from the house!

Thank you Mr. Fernando for giving me the opportunity to stay in your beautiful house. The pictures you have are nothing like when you see the house in person. This house is amazing. The ocean view, the pool, the stores, and restaurants around, everything. Definitely we will be staying aging soon.

Great property with gracious owners

This property is better than described and the owners were very responsive. There are three amazing beaches close by and each one is unique. We loved eating on the town as well as having our own meals on the balcony. The pool was a great option to swimming in the ocean when the waves were too intense. We liked the pool table and grill by the pool to hangout when it rained. Overall, better than advertised.
