Property is a slice of paradise. I could spend my whole vacation on the patio watching the waves. The Host was very prompt with her responses and she offered solutions to our inquiries. It’s a wonderful place for family gatherings. The location was perfect for us because we were meeting our future in-laws who lived nearby. Beaches around the corner.. pictures are taken from that the house’s terrace where I spent most of my time.

Great stay.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The owners were wonderful, the house was well stocked and comfortable and the view was gorgeous. Two beaches are within a 2 minute walk and the amenities of town are a 5-10 minute drive. Our family of four - including 2 teenaged boys - enjoyed it thoroughly.

Quiet and beautiful!

The terrace at Villa Ilusion 2 is glorious! We loved sitting and taking in the beautiful views morning, afternoon, and evening. The location was easy to find, literally around the corner from Mar Chiquita, and while a little off the beaten path, it was worth it for the quiet, relaxing, and secure area. We felt very safe. Ita was very responsive when we had questions and excellent to work with. We highly recommend Villa Ilusion 2!

This home is better than advertised.

This home has the perfect location for someone that wants to see the whole island or just plant themselves on the beach. We travelled around a bit and had a great time. Lots to see and do in Puerto Rico. A beautiful beach is a 5 minute walk and so is a grocery store with a great bakery. Overall great place to stay

Great location and super experience

We are a family of four and loved this location. It was away from the hub bub, but very safe. The view is spectacular - loved waking up every morning to the sunrise and birds singing with the waves crashing below. Home is clean and well stocked in every way. Maria and Jorge were very helpful - had the pleasure of meeting Lydia who became our Abuela during our stay. Beach down the street is stunning...didn't need to go anywhere else. We loved it and hated to leave.

Perfect getaway location with all necessities nearby

Jorge and Maria did not fail to live up to the standards of previous reviewers. The house was perfect for the two of us to just lounge and watch the ocean (fantastic location and the waves were impressive against the rocks). Definitely can not swim in this area due to the strong waves and rocky formations but that also keeps people away. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had the quiet, relaxing vacation we were expecting. Thanks Jorge and Maria!

About as close to paradise as you can get.

If you are looking for the perfect beach getaway, then this is it. It's the perfect blend of secluded and yet convenient. The house and amenities were top notch with one of the most amazing ocean views you'll ever see. With a virtually private beach a stones throw away and access to the local quaint town of Manati only a 15 drive away, the location couldn't have been better. We went with some friends and did day trips to Old San Juan and Aricebo (the dish from Contact), each less than hour from the front porch. The owners were great to work with and gave us tons of inside info on places to eat and visit. It was a steal at twice the price.

Awesome property.

We loved our stay. A nice cozy home set above the ocean. Surf sounds, great views and wonderful hosts. Maria and Jorge took us from our rental car pick up to the home. Clean, breezy and relaxing. All we could want. A nice grocery store close by for all our needs. We were close to San Juan - about a 40 minute drive where we spent New Years Eve watching the fireworks. The nearby beach - Mar Chiquita, was a great spot to watch the waves roll in. A short walk or an even shorter drive. Thanks Maria and Jorge. Hope to see you again.

All that was listed and then some

We have stayed at a few VRBO homes and have been happy, this home topped them all. The house was extremely clean, and stocked with all the extras a person could ask for. You can tell a home where the owners are close enough to make sure their investment is maintained. The outdoor deck was where we lived half covered for the nights with rain and the uncovered portion great for sunning. The great beach is a 4 minute walk or 1 minute in the car, the local eateries were great and the entire stay was fabulous, we look forward to visiting again. Andy and Lisa

Million Dollar View

My husband and I arrived in San Juan on the 11th and was met by the lovely owners at the car rental. We followed them to the house which was a 45 minute drive. As we came over the last hill toward the house we were met with this incredible ocean view. Upon entering the home I was struck with its cleanliness and appropriate beach decor. They gave us the tour and showed us important details along with a gift basket of Puerto Rican snacks. My husband's family lives in PR and so we went to pick up his mother, who was 20 minutes away, and brought her back to stay with us. Every morning I got up first and fixed my coffee and sat on the patio watching the ocean, seeing hummingbirds, and enjoying the breeze. The stay was absolutely perfect and I would highly recommend this property and the precious couple who owns it.
