Great house. Very relaxing stay in the jungle. The house had everything my family needed for a comfortable stay. There were a few different livi g areas, so no one felt like they were on top of each other when we were home from the beach and jungle trips. I had a small problem connecting the tv and the owers were very responsive and help me rectify quickly. I would definitely be looking to stay again. Thank you.
We absolutely loved our stay! The property was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed. The views were absolutely breathtaking and made every moment feel special. The amenities were top-notch and made our trip so comfortable and relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts were amazing and very communicative. And the location have the most amazing views. Will definitely visit again.
The view is unbeatable! Large bedrooms with their own bathrooms. Beautiful indoor kitchen and gathering areas. Meals on the upper outdoor deck were dreamy and the lower patio was made for fun!! Host were awesome to work!!

Amazing location...in the thick of mountain living! Beautiful home with everything you need!
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.
If you want a beautiful home with all the amenities in a fantastic location to bond with family members, this is the place! After venturing out to explore the sites of Puerto Rico, it is exciting to return home to relax or spend time enjoying the amenities this home provides. If we make it back, this is definitely where will stay.
Lovely clean and spacious house with gorgeous view and great outdoor entertainment. The pool is smaller than it appears in the photo but that didn’t bother us, we really enjoyed our stay
2 years ago we stayed on the west coast of PR, in a villa on the beach. This year we wanted to switch it up, looked for a place in the rain forest area, and found this place. It was well supplied, very comfortable lay-out, fun area downstairs, amazing views from upstairs, close to the beach and marina - overall a "5 star" stay for 3 adult couples. A bit of a curvy road to get there, but worth every curve.
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!
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!
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.
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!
Couldn’t have got any better! The view and house are even better in person!! Detached Casita worked perfect for my niece and daughter they had their own little apartment, they loved it! location is great - 30 mins away from San Juan 15 mins from Luquillo beach right on el yunque hiking and zip lining only minutes away! Would 100% recommend!! The host was awesome, very responsive everything went without a hitch!! Thank you April!!
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.
Wow! This place was absolutely beautiful! We only stayed for 3 nights but wish we had been there longer. The home is stunning........the views indescribable. From being able to walk the property to pick fruits, the fun lower porch with darts, pool table & party lights! The dipping pool was great, my 6yo granddaughter loved it! Would highly recommend. April the host gave us some great suggestions where we could go for fun with a 6yo. Hope to return to this amazing home. Thanks April!
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!
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.
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.
The house was one of the best parts of our trip. The winding road did not detour us at all. Thanks for the Warning April and Jarl. The house pictures do it no justice. It is beautiful and so calming. one of my favorite things to do there. Especially since it decided to pour rain for most of our stay. We were a group of six and even without the casita, we all would have fit. April answered my many, many questions, she also offered so many good suggestions. She checked in since she new it was raining and we were going to the rainforest. We hope to come back.
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.
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.
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.
