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!

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.

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.

Beautiful
The house is beautiful and spacious, two of us stayed in the main house and 2 stayed in La Casita. The area is quiet, with the exception of the coqui and roosters-which I did not mind at all. The house is well stocked with anything you might need. The kitchen has lots of spices and some food items. The house is on a hill with a winding and narrow road-if you’re from PR-you already know how it is. The small pool is nice for cooling off in the afternoon.I would definitely consider this property again. April is very nice and responsive. She answers any questions very quickly. The only comment I have is that the downstairs bedroom does not have A/C and it can get stuffy. My son didn’t mind. My favorite part is that almost everyone had their own private full bathroom.

Great place for the family to stay. Beautiful inside and outside. We did rent Jeep Wrangler as we were going to explore entire island anyways and it helped not to worry about local roads. You iether need something lifted a bit or something skinny so you can fit between the ruts in some parts. April did sent a screenshot of the better way in, but after a couple of road trips I just followed GPS for shorter route. We did have a little power outage for couple of hours during our stay, generator did not kick on, "such as life" (owner had maintenance person there next morning to fix it). Nobody got too grumpy about the heat so life goes on :). We had fun, and enjoyed our stay! The views from the deck are priceless. Cellular service is good (I have T-Mobile). Something I found nearby on Geocaching app 18.2953887, -65.8390572 , it's a nice natural pool with waterfalls. You will need that 4x4 or skinny car to get there. Park by the bridge and walk up the trail at least 3 water pools with cool water.

Paradise
Villa De Dream is more beautiful than the pictures. It is perfect for a family reunion because each room is private and there is a side house fully equipped with children bunk beds. Downstairs is the perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach or el yunque. One of the days my husband and I stayed at the house while our children went to the beach. The kitchen is very spacious and well stocked. The first night we had a storm and woke to a power outage. As soon as we called April she was on it. We had an electrician at the house in minutes. We went to El Yunque that day and every business was without power. I don’t know how they did it but we got the power back before anyone else. We stayed at 4 other houses on our family vacation. Villa De Dream was by far the best! If you have never seen a coqui they hang out on the bottom floor next to the bar.

What a gorgeous retreat!
We stayed here for a week with another couple and 4 kids aged 10-16. The space was amazing for all of us! The kids had their own casita with bathroom and small kitchen. The adults stayed in the big house, with a well-stocked kitchen. The views were amazing, and the upstairs and downstairs porches got plenty of use, especially the pool table and grill. The downstairs bedroom in the main house got warm a few nights, which was solved by leaving the door open and cranking down the upstairs AC and fans. Overall this house was perfect for fun and relaxation, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! Highly recommended.

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!

Very fun house
We stayed here with 2 other couples. It was plenty big, everyone had their own room and own bathroom which was really nice. Kitchen was huge and easy to accommodate 6 people, we cooked almost every night. Kitchen was fully stocked, and really appreciated leaving the things from last guests to use, unopened jars of sauce, noodles, condiments, etc. Both porches were amazing, we spent most nights down stairs playing darts and pool. Location was nice that it was close to the airport (40 mins) and still close to the east coast, for boating and beaches (40-45 mins). It is a little less sunny being so close to El Yunique, but still beautiful warm weather.

We loved the patio-was a great place to unwind! The property is well cared for & beautiful. There was a ripe starfruit but we didn't pick it. The pool table was great to have. It cooled off enough in the evenings that we didn't use the plunge pool but was very clean and inviting. We had everything we needed in the kitchen-thanks for the coffee! I would love to stay again!

The house was one of the best parts of our trip. The winding road did not detour us at all. Thanks for the Warning April and Jarl. The house pictures do it no justice. It is beautiful and so calming. one of my favorite things to do there. Especially since it decided to pour rain for most of our stay. We were a group of six and even without the casita, we all would have fit. April answered my many, many questions, she also offered so many good suggestions. She checked in since she new it was raining and we were going to the rainforest. We hope to come back.

This place is wonderful. The roads in and out were an adventure but so worth it. The view cannot be beat and the house has everything you need. We found the welcome book after a couple days so we did live on two dogs that came to the house. We didn’t see that warning up front. I wish I could bring them home with us! So sweet.

Great place to stay!
2 years ago we stayed on the west coast of PR, in a villa on the beach. This year we wanted to switch it up, looked for a place in the rain forest area, and found this place. It was well supplied, very comfortable lay-out, fun area downstairs, amazing views from upstairs, close to the beach and marina - overall a "5 star" stay for 3 adult couples. A bit of a curvy road to get there, but worth every curve.
