We had a group of 8, from 8 years old to 70 and everyone had a great stay. The views are incredible. Lots of activities on the property to keep everyone entertained during down time. You won’t be disappointed staying here.

Thanks for booking our beach house for your vacations. Hope to see.you all again in the future.
The home was very special. Awesome view of the ocean that I will keep in my heart for a long time. We really enjoyed the pool which was perfect size and depth for the grandkids. The outdoor areas of the home are perfect for hanging out, playing games and again enjoying the view. Communication with the host was easy and quick. We enjoyed discovering Puerto Rico and hope to come back.

Melinda,
Thanks for your review. Glad you and your fanily enjoyed your stay. Also thanks for leaving the property in great shape and complying with hose rules.
Hope to have you all again as our guests.
Happy Easter.
This property is perfectly situated on a cliff above a beautiful wild beach. It's walk-able to a grocery store and a few restaurants but having a vehicle is a must for exploring the area. The beach below is gorgeous and can be accessed by the Mar Chiquita road or on foot through overgrown trails, though it may not be very swim-able if surf is rough. House is well equipped and has plenty of seating / tables to enjoy the beautiful views or just hanging out. Great layout and comfortable for our group of 8. The pool was great for kids and had routine maintenance. Beach gear and kids toys can be found in storage.

Thanks for your review. Hope to see you all next year. As I told you some changes will de done to the house for next summer.
Great to have you all as our guests.
The property was well suited for our family vacation. The location is excellent for relaxing on the patio or enjoying the pool all with the ocean in the background.
Our stay at this beautiful beach house in Manatí, PR was absolutely wonderful! The home itself was stunning, spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with breathtaking ocean views that made every morning feel like a dream. The neighborhood was peaceful and safe, perfect for a relaxing getaway.The host was incredibly kind and professional, always quick to respond and very accommodating. We did experience a brief water outage for a couple of days, but that was an island-wide issue and completely out of the host’s control. Everything else about our stay was perfect, and we truly appreciated how attentive and helpful the host was throughout our trip.Highly recommend this property, can’t wait to come back!

Thanks for your review.
Most important is that you all enjoy your stay and create memories. Hope to see you all soon again.
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.
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!

Thanks for your review, and we are glad you enjoy your stay in ou beach house and Puerto Rico.
Hope to see you again in the future.
My family and friend spent a week in this beautiful place, it has a spectacular view, suitable for relaxing, if that is what you are looking for. I loved it and of course I would stay again.
Absolutely outstanding property and owner!! Fernando was super responsive in communication and the home is amazing! If you’re looking for a relaxing spot to listen to the ocean and relax by the pool, I cannot recommend this property enough.
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.

Fernando is so nice and easy to communicate with. We had a fantastic stay in this house. I chose it because of the view and the 270 degree ocean view was better than I had ever imagined! Everything about this place was great.

Thanks for your review. You and rhe girls were great guests. We are glad you all enjoyed your stay at our beach house. Hope to see you again in the future.
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!

Thanks for your review. Hope to see you all again next year.
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.

Second visit .... does not disappoint
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.

Thank for the review. It was a great pleasure to have you and your family as our guests once more.
Hope to see you all again next year.
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.
This ocean view property met our expectations. The online listing was accurate. It was very clean and has a serene and beautiful view. The check-in process was smooth. Communication with property manager was excellent! I will definitely rent this place again.
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!
