Our family loved our stay here, the view is amazing!
Very clean, very spacious, amazing view with covered outdoors areas to enjoy it. Host was very responsive too, which really helped when our flight was delayed by 9 hours and we were arriving at the house at 1am. A/C worked well, which was important for me with a disease that makes me heat intolerant. Bathrooms very nice and obviously remodeled. If you want a relaxing and beautiful place, stay here. Realize however, that it is 30-45 minutes from anything (El Yunque, the beaches, San Juan), but we liked that. We wanted to be in beautiful nature, and driving through the mountains to go places was a plus for us. Listening to the coqui frogs was amazing, and the frogs are literally everywhere on the property. We were able to see them and take close up pictures without disturbing them. All the pictures on the listing showing the interior of the house are accurate, that's exactly what it all looks like. Master bedroom is very spacious. Having a laundry room was a big help too, as the rainforest had definitely muddied our clothes. The plunge pool was clean and a great temperature. It is shallow, which was great for us because there were no worries that my young son needed to be watched all the time.

Peaceful retreat
Everything was as advertised. We saw lots of fruit on the property, but unfortunately they were not ripe enough to eat while we were there. The island lost power but the house generator kicked on automatically and we had no disruptions. We will not miss the narrow curvey roads. Those were exhausting from the beginning.

Wonderful all around
First of all -the view. Paired with the spacious design... you can admire the view from the beautiful living room, from the large porch, from the large patio area, from the little pool. Very well equipped. Good beds. Good AC. Great open spaces. Teenagers loved the casita. Owners are great communicators. No real downsides except maybe paucity of electrical outlets. But the kitchen has many. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Best Vrbo experience we have ever had. Hosts were wonderful. Property was incredible. Views are unmatched. Property is spotlessly clean and well equipped. Every amenity you could ever want. Excellent communication and the hosts made it so easy. When we go back to PR and plan to stay in the area, we will stay here without question. It made me want to buy property/home in the area. A genuine 5-star experience. Thank you, April and Jarl!

Ville de Dream
As advertised, and the pictures do not do justice to this beautiful home. We were entirely comfortable staying here for two months. The house heats up during the day but this is easily and quickly controlled by the powerful house air conditioners. After a long hike in El Yunque or relaxing at the beach, the fresh water plunge pool (ambient) helped cool us. The narrow, paved road up to the house, (PR 956), is challenging but do-able with some practice. Once down the mountain, PR 3 and 66 provide convenient access to groceries, fast food, restaurants, beaches and the rainforest. Back at the house, the neighborhood is full of life. During the day, one hears roosters, dogs, cats, doves, and boat-tailed grackles. In the evening, the cars and trucks coming home from work can be noisy, but by 8 PM things have quieted and coqui start singing. Enchanting sound on the enchanted isle.

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.
