Exclusive Villas, Hidden Paradise Near Beaches, Rainforest & Neighboring Islands

Our vacation home consists of two full units. From the outside you see one large house. It is actually two seperate units. So you get two units/homes for one price. Each house has a living room, dinning room, recently remodeled kitchen and laundry room. Upstairs is a spacious three bedroom/two bath house which sleeps 8. Downstairs is a two bedroom/two bath house (plus a computer room converted to sleeping area) which sleeps 6. The entrances are separate which ensures privacy. The pool is custom built with a spectacular ocean & mountain view. The pool is UNHEATED, no jacuzzi. There is a large covered terrace and bar-b-que for renters use.

Our home is a hidden paradise on a mountain top. Find peace and tranquility. Go to sleep with the singing of the famous Puerto Rican 'coqui.' Enjoy a spectacular ocean view, custom unheated swimming pool and large yard. This mountain top retreat is private, peaceful, hidden yet only 2 miles from the freeway, largest marina in PR, stores, restaurants and beaches. You can awe at the neighboring islands you'll want to visit (Culebra, Vieques, Icacos, Palominos).

Upstairs is a colorful traditional Mexican style home with high ceilings, hand painted Mexican tiles and rustic furniture. Delight in solid wood furniture throughout the house. Enjoy a 40 foot balcony with a breath taking ocean view. If you enjoy cooking you won't want to leave this spacious kitchen with mahogany cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Last but not least, you'll fight with the others over the guest bedroom with an amazing underwater mural which covers the entire wall and ceiling!

The house downstairs is a modern 2 bed/2 bath plus a computer room converted into an additional sleeping area. There is a full kitchen just remodeled, dining area, living room and laundry room. The bedrooms are 12 foot x12 foot with full length closets and mirror doors.

Enjoy a romantic view of the city lights below from your queen-size bed in your air-conditioned master bedroom. The master bedroom has glass double doors to ensure a view of the full moon over the ocean surface. The master bedroom has a private bathroom, mirror closet, and high ceilings. It also has an attached computer room converted into a sleeping area.

This Non-Smoking house is two miles from Puerto Del Rey marina, ten minutes from Seven Seas Beach, ferries to Culebra and Vieques and 1 hour from the SJ Airport. Luquillo Beach and El Yunque Rainforest are 20 minutes away. There are daily flights from Fajardo to Culebra & Vieques. The Westin Rio Mar and Wyndham El Conquistador Resorts are close by.

The house sits on an acre lot with 6000 sq. ft. grass lawn, palm, banana and mango trees, orchids... The neighbors are sparse so you rarely hear a car go by.

This can all be yours. You will not find another villa like it in Puerto Rico!

We Loved Our Stay
Staying here was a highlight of our vacation. Our vacation to Puerto Rico was also part family reunion. There were 10 in our group and the house provided comfortable accommodation for everyone. The location is ideal for both relaxing and enjoying the beautiful ambiance of the house, and going on excursions to El Yunque, the bioluminescent bay at Luquillo, and the beaches of Vieques and Culebra. The decor is filled with distinctive and beautiful works of art throughout. We loved our stay and would happily recommend this house to friends and family.

Family Vacay in Ceiba
My family of 8 adults and 5 children from infant to 14 recently stayed at this home in Ceiba. The house is two units, with the downstairs recently updated, and the upstairs more in line with decor you would expect from a home in PR. We had the whole house. We had an issue with one of the AC units that the host immediately tried to resolve, but was unable to due to the tropical storm. The upstairs does not have an AC in the common area/kitchen, only in the bedrooms, so it was initially hot. We purchased an upright fan, put it in the master and pushed the air to the common area. This helped significantly. The house has a generator and a water cistern that we needed after tropical storm Ernesto blew through and Ceiba lost power. We felt comfortable and safe during the storm, and the host was in constant communication to update us and make sure we were ok, which we appreciated. The location is about a 4 minute drive up the mountain with lots of twits and turns to get there, but the view is worth the drive. The photos in the listing don't do the view justice. I found the listing to be accurate in terms of the description of the property. The outdoor patio area and the pool supplied countless hours of quality family time with the kids, even during the rain. The kids loved the nature surrounding the property, the fruit trees, and Casper the cat who lives on property. Despite the storm, we had a great stay, the host was great, and we would not hesitate to come back!

Wonderful Stay at Hidden Paradise
We had 11 of us (3 families) with kids aged 2-17 and we all loved the house and pool. The two units were perfect and allowed everyone to have their own space. The kids would have been fine with never leaving the house since the pool was beautiful, and they had so much fun. We used the downstairs kitchen since it was so convenient to the patio which we used a lot, but the one upstairs is perfect for large groups. The view looking toward the coast and city was gorgeous and especially at night made you feel like you were in a scene from a movie. There is a lot to do within 30 minutes of the house, so we took Monica's suggestion and took a sunset catamaran trip to Cayo Icacos which was wonderful. We also visited and hiked in El Yunque National Forest, visited several beaches and even got to get the grandkids pony rides in Luquillo. The house has a resident outdoor cat named Casper that is extremely friendly and he helped us miss our pets much less. He was great with the grandkids and acted like he was one of the family. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a perfect place to stay in Puerto Rico.

Great Secluded House with Great Views!
Stayed here with for a family trip of 14, ages 2-76. We loved the house, it’s secluded location, and gorgeous views. House was convenient to see this part of the island, as well as a quick day trip to San Juan. The host communicated with us from a week before our arrival and throughout our entire stay, even making recommendations on activities, food, and local tips. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if you’re looking for something a little bit off grid, but within a quick drive to enjoy some of PRs best spots.

Wonderful Home
What a lovely home with an exquisite view! We so enjoyed our stay. There were numerous gathering areas so all nine of us could get together or find quiet spots to be alone. The pool was beautiful and well used. Any questions or issues we had were addressed quickly and efficiently by our very friendly host. We were in PR during spring break so lots of people and traffic- make reservations ahead of time if you have special adventures in mind. We went snorkeling ( most beautiful beach ever!), played in waterfalls in the rain forest and ate and ate and ate. Great trip and great home.

Amazing fortress near the top of a tropical mountain
Our family of 12 (three generations, ages from 76 down to 4) all enjoyed this house as our home base for exploring around Eastern Puerto Rico. Our group didn't utilize the downstairs kitchen much, instead cooking in the upstairs kitchen, just to have everyone together. The pool was great, and we spent many evenings sitting in the breezeway area, a nice, spacious covered outdoor space. Some VRBO listings may exaggerate views or sizes of rooms or yards, but not the case with this property. The views were stunning, and we had plenty of room to enjoy our week. The host's communication and response time was excellent. Highly recommended.

Paradise
We enjoyed our stay it is beautiful being on the mountain top and looking down at the ocean. It accommodated everyone in our group. There were extra towels which is a real plus. Showers all worked great, and bathrooms were well done. It was great to have 2 living spaces. There was plenty of room. The TV's were great when the children needed a rest. On the downside we vacationed there in February and the pool was cold and there was no heat in the Jacuzzi. Grocery stores are not that close. You will have to light the pilot if you cook upstairs. If you bring young children make sure you purchase the Insurance, we were charged for the window shade in one of the bedrooms. One of the grandchildren pulled it down too far & it separated at the top. I did purchase the Insurance and was glad I did. The Manager is easy to reach & helpful. I would definitely go back it is a beautiful Villa.

Perfect family vacation rental
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location and views are spectacular. We were grateful for the mountain breeze that kept us comfortable both day and evening as we sat out on the deck/balcony enjoying coffee, meals, and cocktails. The two unit setup was perfect for our group of 14–providing ample space and privacy, as needed. The outdoor entertaining area was just what we needed to host additional family for an outdoor Christmas gathering! The kids spent hours every day in the pool and loved having the run of the yard. We will definitely be back!

beautiful retreat
drive, drive, drive(from the airport)and then climb a steep hill to find this hidden gem! Fabulous view! Great outdoor space! Quiet and safe and so beautiful!! Short distance to El Yunge to explore for a day. So close to the marina in Fajardo to get to the Island of Icacos. Loved the big table and sitting area around the pool, right outside of the kitchen. Wish there would have been a better way to get from the upstairs unit to the downstairs unit, but not a big deal.

Perfect getaway home!
My family and I absolutely loved our stay at Monica's house! From the pool with amazing views to the many outdoor spaces for us to enjoy and the two levels, each with individual kitchens, it was everything we were looking for from a home base while visiting PR for the first time. The pictures don't do it justice! The location was also perfect for us to easily visit El Yunque, Farjado, and Luquillo and we were just a few minutes from the marina so we were able to charter a boat to a local island as well. House was clean, well stocked and ACs worked well which was a must in July. Monica was very responsive and detailed in all her instructions and we didn't have any issues checking in or checking out. Will definitely recommend this home to friends and families and hope to return in the future!

A beautiful house that is even better in person
This home is comprised of two separate units (upstairs and downstairs) each with their own kitchen, laundry facility, living room, and entry way. The pool, yard, and grill/patio and parking are all shared. This arrangement was perfect for our extended family vacation of 10. The home was incredible, clean, and well furnished with everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. Communication with Monica, the property owner, was always quick and helpful; and she did everything possible to ensure our stay was comfortable. Definitely recommend.

Tranquil beauty of the Caribbean
This is an ideal location within short traveling distances to beaches, a national rain forest and commercial endeavors yet maintains an isolated ambiance for peaceful relaxation and reflection among the fauna and flora of a tropical paradise. The property is aptly named hidden paradise for no small reason and offers a quite retreat at the end of a full day of touring the island or just hanging out during one’s stay here. A “must return again” rental property.

Phenomenal!!!
This house completely exceeded our expectations! I attribute the great success of our family vacation to this home. There were 12 of us (3 families) with kids aged 3-17. There was plenty of space for us to congregate together, or if you wanted some alone time/naps for kids-not a problem. Huge kitchen upstairs where we cooked & never bumped into each other once! I didn’t think we’d care, but the house also has a yard (which our kids had a great time playing football in too). THE POOL!!! Absolutely beautiful pool that we had all to ourselves! The kids swam at 7am and 9pm and every hour in between. The view is beyond amazing. Property owner responded to texts within minutes. House was clean and comfortable and furnished appropriately. We loved it here and were so sad to leave! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home Monica!

Excellent space for 15
We had a wonderful time at this home. We loved the pool and views from the various patios. The privacy and amenities were great. It was nice to have a couple of kitchens and multiple bathrooms for our party of 15, ranging from ages 3 to 83. We loved every minute of our time in Puerto Rico. The beaches, the marina for boating, great restaurants & bakeries, and the national forest were all close to this location. We enjoyed zip-lining, a cameraman tour to the island of Icacos, kayaking the bioluminescence mangroves/night tour, and a couple of day trips to Old San Juan. The host was quick to respond with any questions too. I'd highly recommend this home.

Time away with family
The morning scenery was amazing. Going to sleep to the wonderful sounds of Coqui’s made it extra special. The house was spacious. It was great being able to have my family come over for a cookout. Plenty of grass to lay on and enjoy the sounds of the waterfalls of the pool. I wish the pool was heated but we still enjoyed ourselves during the daytime swim. We didn’t mind having the cat around since we are animal lovers. If you’re concerned about safety, don’t worry there are cameras outside the house and the owner monitors them frequently. Some of the appliances can be upgraded but for the most part the house is in great good shape. The murals were our favorite part and some of the history on the walls gave it a nice touch. This was a good trip.
