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.

Great place!

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!
