The Views Will Take Your Breath Away - Romantic Villa on the Beach

When you see VillaRosa - Arecibo - its large wrap-around terrace, lounge chairs & breathtaking views - you will know that you arrived in paradise. After taking a dip in the secluded beach cove, shower off in one of two full outdoor baths. Then head inside, with 1 bdrm, 1 bath, a modern kitchen and a comfy living room. While it is a romantic spot, kids also love to explore the beach.

Plan your event at the house. It sits on an acre, allowing you to host a variety of functions.

Amazing experience, off the beaten track
Our stay was an amazing experience. To set the context, we prefer to stay away from well-developed tourist areas (big hotels, lots of attractions) and prefer a more intimate, authentic experience. We have three young kids (7-11 YoA) that love exploring nature. The location was truly amazing for us. We spent a week, where the kids could fairly independently explore the different parts of the bay: the protected reef right in front of the house, the beach (depending on the tide), the waves crashing over the ragged moonscape on the far left and right side of the bay. This was exactly what we were looking for. We had various activities planned in the north-eastern part of PR, but we cancelled almost all because it was just great to "stay in the bay". The kids could swim in the protected, beach-adjacent part of the bay on their own. They discovered tropical fish, a green moray baby eel, starfishes, sea fans, sea urchins, hermit crabs, etc. The beach was crowded at times (weekend), but almost empty at others (where the younger kids could run around the beach naked...) Can you swim in the outer part of the bay behind the reef? No, it is way too dangerous (at least with the conditions as it was). Is it quiet or noisy? Both: 90% quiet, but towards the weekend nights, there are people driving by with LED-lit cars and loud music: We absolutely loved it, such a slice of vibrancy and life! We're planning to go there again! Owner and local keeper were kind and responsive throughout.

Best view on the island!
We had a great 5 days. We sat outside on the terrace when we were "home" as the view of the water hitting the rocks was fantastic. The house itself needs a little TLC, but is adequate and met our needs.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!
Here we go… We agree that the views are good, but not so exclusive that you can’t see better beaches about 5 mins away. The place was so dirty my husband and I couldn’t stay one night. Our anniversary celebration was ruined :( There’s mold on the curtains and stains on the bed. It looks like this place hadn’t been cleaned in at least a week or two. When we sent the pictures to the host, she was courteous but didn’t really care much about the situation. We were explained that since its a beach house people didn’t really take care of the couch the table etc. Cleanliness is what we always require when renting a place, not luxury. Just know you wont really have a great or excellent time here, regardless of what other reviews have stated. We recently saw another review from Dec 2022, its the reality of the place now. The more frustrating part is that because of the no refund policy in the contract we can not get our money back and we were only offered to reschedule our vacation for another time, unfortunately the horrible smell and the terrible conditions of the place makes this unacceptable to us. We are currently trying to get our money back, even if legal action needs to take place. This is not an isolated incident the same happened to my aunt who had the same experience but even worse she had paid the event fee, amount that is ridiculous expensive with the condition of the place. Again, save yourself the disappointment of dealing with this owner who has zero interest in the cleanliness of the property and couldn’t care less on ruining a celebration or a vacation.

Challenging weekend stay
These comments are known to the property owner already. Met property manager Magaly who lives close by. She provided keys and gate opener with WIFI info. Was responsive via text. At first quick glance of the unit appears quaint and cozy. Advertised as a one bedroom romantic retreat at the end of a private beach cove was what we were looking forward to after a exhausting river adventure earlier in day. We began to appreciate how filthy the home was upon unpacking and the profound deferred maintenance of the property. We can give many examples but the feedback was provided to the owner who had a third party come assess our concerns which we appreciated. The dryer door was broken however Magaly’s husband did come to repair it the following day. We were only booked for 2.5 days so we tried to look at the positives. We had a semi private beach cove. Locals arrived at 10 and left around 4pm. We had AC, WIFI, cable, and electricity but unfortunately a local power outage caused us to lose power at 3am on day of departure. The generator on the property was not functioning because the large propane tank it was attached to was corroded. In summary this unique property has great potential if it is properly renovated, maintained and kept clean. On a separate note, a camp exist next door so camping visitors were up at all hours of the night. Also the property is on highway 681 which is a main artery for loud party buses that blare their music at late hours of the night. Worse if there is a traffic jam. Windows did not close properly so it just added to the challenging experience. Not the quiet romantic retreat we were hoping for.

I visit that beach and I always see the yellow house… but one day we ask and at the moment we book our stay. Just perfect to stay with family and friends, and the beach clear water is perfect. Near the property you have a lot of restaurants and bars.

Amazing View
This is the third time we have stayed. It has a wonderful view. You basically have a private beach at night. The beach is very calm and safe. Magaly was always available. The property needs some small improvements and I would only place a private property sign or a gate to the beach. Many people who were on the beach interrupted and entered the property to ask where it was rented. They could also place a sign with the information of where to rent in front of the property.

There are no words as the beauty of this place. The sounds of the waves when you go to sleep and when you wake up. And the views are priceless. Magaly and her husband are very good hosts. Will definitely be back.
