The pictures don’t do justice. Villa Picon is an amazing property right on the beach and the perfect home for a large family. We stayed for a family vacation with a party of 10 and it was perfect. The host coordinated everything very well and the house staff (Nicolas and Anna) took care of all our needs including cooking many meals. I highly recommend and we will stay here again.
Villa Picón is a wonderful place! The location is gorgeous and our host Lois was lovely. I definitely recommend it!

Thank you for your kind words.
There’s something truly special about falling asleep to the sound of the ocean, and I’m delighted you experienced that at Villa Picon. Creating a setting that feels both beautiful and effortless is always our goal.
Nico, Pedro, and Alba will be very pleased to hear your feedback—they take great pride in what they do. I’m glad the experience exceeded expectations beyond what the photos might convey.
It would be a pleasure to welcome you back.
Warmest regards,
Luis
A beautiful home! Awesome location on the beach, with wonderful rooms, great decor - best vacation rental we have had, ever. Luis Picon is a great host, super responsive and helpful. And Nico and Centi superb grounds/house keepers and chefs. The grilled fish with side dishes they made on our last night was wonderful.

Thank you for your generous words.
I’m truly pleased to hear Villa Picon was your best vacation rental experience—there’s no higher compliment. Great care goes into creating a beautiful, comfortable beachfront setting, and I’m glad it showed throughout your stay.
Nico and Centi (Zeny ;) will be especially happy to hear your feedback. That final dinner sounds like a perfect way to close your visit—exactly the kind of experience we hope to create.
It would be a pleasure to welcome you back.
Warmest regards,
Luis
Luis, Nico and the team at Villa Picon are exceptional and made our stay perfect. Incredible communication and willingness to work around our timing…and on top of that, the property is stunning. We could not have asked for a more beautiful stay. The plants inside the views, the cleanliness…sitting in the hot tub with the full moon reflecting on the ocean as we heard waves crashing…couldn’t have been better. My only regret is that we didn’t take advantage of the meals on site. We will be back to experience this beautiful place again. Thank you, again, Luis and team!

I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay so much, I always give credit to the amazing surroundings, saying that they do most of the work for us, but I’d like to a knowledge the amount of work and care that everybody puts in order to have every detail perfect, and it’s this sum of details that make for the seamless experience you had and that’s exactly what we aim for, thank for letting us know know we succeeded.
Warmest regards,

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for considering Nico’s perfomance as butler like!
He’s a very attentive handyman, some times he’s a cook (he makes a mean Tikin-Xic fish!) and some times even a bartender making Margaritas!
Words cannot describe the house and Nico and Ana…. Your place made some great memories for us! If the house is available for any trip down in the area it will be my first pick !Thank you so much

Reading your comment made me realize what I’d always sensed but never articulated: the Villa is a destination in itself—defined by the ocean, the beach, the pool, the terrace, the views, and the ever-present sound of the sea...
Add Ana and Nico and you can’t miss!
Luis Picón
A beautiful place, well kept and the beach is lovely. The owner was very responsive and Nico and Ana worked hard at keeping the place clean everyday. Have a car if you want to explore! Nothing is within walking distance.

Thank you for this kind words, we love knowing that all the hard work paid off.
Renting a car is a great option in you want to visit other places, there’re taxis near by too, but me, when ever possible, I prefer to stay there all day and leave the Villa for even a minute!

Thank you very much!
We work hard every day to keep the place looking good and running smooth, but I have to confess, this piece of Caribbean paradise that someone left right at our doorstep does most of the heavy lifting!
I hope to see you again soon!

It’s so rewarding to see guests that keep coming back year after year, it makes all the effort we put in so worthwhile!
I hope to see you next year, we’re installing a Starlink antena to improve the internet service and the volleyball net will be installed back as well.
Warmest regards,
Luis Picón
What a great house, pool, and beach setting. Luis is a great host, extremely responsive. Helped us with every detail we needed. Ana’s food was outstanding and Nico’s work on the outside made the trip even better. Highly recommend this home and we will be back for sure.

We loved to have you guys as our guests and we hope to see you again in the near future! We’ve commissioned some new art work for the Villa and we’d love your input!
We loved Villa Picon. It was spacious, clean and the view stunning. We had Ana cook a few meals for us, it was excellent . Overall everything was excellent! Can’t wait to come back!! Loves it!
The home was very well maintained and you can’t beat being steps from the beach. The e house had everything we needed to bbq and cook, play games, lounge in the pool or play in the ocean. We will definitely return!
Everything about this property is amazing! The house, the pool, the view! Ana and Nico will make your vacation extra special! Thank you to Luis, Ana, and Nico for making our trip everything we hoped it would be! This was our fourth visit and we will continue to come back every year!
