About this property

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!

The host was very helpful. Her directions were excellent. They took very good care of the property. The house was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. We enjoyed our morning breakfast on the deck as we looked out over the ocean spotting islands and cruise ships. We also enjoyed bananas from the trees on the property. Itcwas an ideal house for 10 people. It was a wonderful Christmas vacation for the family.

Birthday Celebration

It was an extraordinary experience, it rain alot and we still have a great time. We grill, play games, enjoy the lush vegetation, and the pool. The house is very conformable with everything you need available, also the stores are 10 minutes away down the mountain some of my guests said it was the most relaxing vacation they ever experience.

We had a wonderful stay in this spacious home that perfectly accommodated all 12 of us. The house offers a unique charm, blending an antique feel on the second floor with a modern touch on the first—both incredibly comfortable. The final mile to the property features a slight steep, thrilling drive that we actually grew to love after the first trip!The highlight of our stay was the incredible hospitality from Monica. She was attentive and kind, offering 'motherly' advice on ocean safety and sharing local gems to explore when the weather turned. When our group mentioned a preference for new cookware, she had brand-new vessels delivered within just a couple of hours. She even made it incredibly easy to cancel an accidental double-booking without any extra charges.We also loved the 'co-host' Casper the cat; When we first met Casper, his initial hisses and growls gave us a bit of a fright! But don't let that first impression fool you—he is actually the sweetest cat. While he’s a bit hesitant around new faces at first, he truly wants to be friends. Casper is a polite outdoor cat who knows his boundaries; he’ll occasionally pop inside for a quick visit, but he never overstays his welcome. He’s also quite clever—he’ll 'tailgate' you right to his food box to remind you. Between the world-class balcony views of the mountains and ocean, the pristine auto-cleaned pool for the kids, and friendly neighbors like Don, it was an unforgettable experience. Monica is an awesome host!

Breathtaking Views

Beautiful view! Tropical and relaxing. Had a great time. The pool was wonderful. Cool at first but easy to get used to on a hot day. Monica was very responsive to questions and helpful. Casper, the cat was friendly and our grandkids loved to feed him and make sure he had fresh water. Would have been nice to have a clothes line and a few hammocks! Very enjoyable stay.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A hard place to leave!

Our family of 13 (including 7 young children) enjoyed every moment at this beautiful property. With amazing views and spacious layout, this is a premier vacation rental. There's great outdoor space, ample comfortable beds and a wonderful pool area. There are well stocked kitchens on both levels. We ended up using the upper level for coffee and breakfast and the lower level for dinner, close to grill and pool. Monica is an exceptional communicator and thoughtful host. We had one brief power outage but there's a large generator to insure there's always power. Beautiful beaches and great hikes are all a short drive away. The kids loved the friendly cat and picking bananas and star fruit. Highly recommend this house for guests of all ages.

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.

WOW- what property!!! Great place!!!

Monica could not have done more to take care of us. When the grocery stores were going to be closed because of Christmas hours, she volunteered to grocery shop ahead of time for us. It was nice to have food for Christmas Day!!! The property has enough space for all nine of us. Plenty of towels and pillows for everyone. We were so busy we hardly used the pool, but it was nice to soak our feet after a hike in El Yunque.Monica communicated often and quickly with us, so we had no problems during our stay. Added bonuses: our family loved the starfruit tree on the property and ate the fruit right off the tree AND the resident cat, Casper, helped ease our missing our own furry people we had to leave at home.Could NOT recommend more highly- you will have a great stay here!!!

My name is Monica and I'm a California native. I am a first grade teacher on an army base. I am a GRCA hobby breeder (golden retrievers). Forced to relocate to San Juan, I decided to rent out my dream home! My husband Milito and I maintain the property ourselves. We are a true Vacation Rental by OWNERS. No rental managers! Please come visit us and see if this home passes your expectations!

Why they chose this property

I came to PR 25 years ago as a DOD elementary school teacher. I worked at Roosevelt Roads Naval station which closed due to politcal controversy. Relocated to San Juan area, I converted my brand new dream home into a vacation rental. The year 2017 brought Hurrican Maria and a diagnosis of breast cancer. By God's grace we have survived and I am grateful. Now relocated to San Juan area, I hope others love and enjoy the time that I am unable to spend at Hidden Paradise. This home offers peace, tranquility, harmony with nature and spectaular ocean views.

What makes this property unique

This home is located on a mountain top which guantees incredible ocean and mountain views. Situated on an acre lot, our home is a hidden paradise. Find peace and tranquility. Go to sleep with the singing of the famous Puerto Rican 'coqui.' Enjoy a spectacular ocean view, custom 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.
