About this property
Exclusive Villas, Hidden Paradise Near Beaches, Rainforest & Neighboring Islands
Our vacation home consists of two full units. From the outside you see one large house. It is actually two seperate units. So you get two units/homes for one price. Each house has a living room, dinning room, recently remodeled kitchen and laundry room. Upstairs is a spacious three bedroom/two bath house which sleeps 8. Downstairs is a two bedroom/two bath house (plus a computer room converted to sleeping area) which sleeps 6. The entrances are separate which ensures privacy. The pool is custom built with a spectacular ocean & mountain view. The pool is UNHEATED, no jacuzzi. There is a large covered terrace and bar-b-que for renters use.
Our home is a hidden paradise on a mountain top. Find peace and tranquility. Go to sleep with the singing of the famous Puerto Rican 'coqui.' Enjoy a spectacular ocean view, custom unheated swimming pool and large yard. This mountain top retreat is private, peaceful, hidden yet only 2 miles from the freeway, largest marina in PR, stores, restaurants and beaches. You can awe at the neighboring islands you'll want to visit (Culebra, Vieques, Icacos, Palominos).
Upstairs is a colorful traditional Mexican style home with high ceilings, hand painted Mexican tiles and rustic furniture. Delight in solid wood furniture throughout the house. Enjoy a 40 foot balcony with a breath taking ocean view. If you enjoy cooking you won't want to leave this spacious kitchen with mahogany cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Last but not least, you'll fight with the others over the guest bedroom with an amazing underwater mural which covers the entire wall and ceiling!
The house downstairs is a modern 2 bed/2 bath plus a computer room converted into an additional sleeping area. There is a full kitchen just remodeled, dining area, living room and laundry room. The bedrooms are 12 foot x12 foot with full length closets and mirror doors.
Enjoy a romantic view of the city lights below from your queen-size bed in your air-conditioned master bedroom. The master bedroom has glass double doors to ensure a view of the full moon over the ocean surface. The master bedroom has a private bathroom, mirror closet, and high ceilings. It also has an attached computer room converted into a sleeping area.
This Non-Smoking house is two miles from Puerto Del Rey marina, ten minutes from Seven Seas Beach, ferries to Culebra and Vieques and 1 hour from the SJ Airport. Luquillo Beach and El Yunque Rainforest are 20 minutes away. There are daily flights from Fajardo to Culebra & Vieques. The Westin Rio Mar and Wyndham El Conquistador Resorts are close by.
The house sits on an acre lot with 6000 sq. ft. grass lawn, palm, banana and mango trees, orchids... The neighbors are sparse so you rarely hear a car go by.
This can all be yours. You will not find another villa like it in Puerto Rico!

What a treat to stay at this house. From the view to the amenities it was perfect for our family group of 10. Often we would hurry back after a day of exploration to enjoy some patio and pool time with a breathtaking view. Monica was very responsive and a joy to work with. The house cat Casper was a delightful addition as well.
The host was very helpful. Her directions were excellent. They took very good care of the property. The house was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. We enjoyed our morning breakfast on the deck as we looked out over the ocean spotting islands and cruise ships. We also enjoyed bananas from the trees on the property. Itcwas an ideal house for 10 people. It was a wonderful Christmas vacation for the family.
It was a great location and was the perfect layout for our family.The view is spectacular, one day we even saw a waterspout over the ocean.Monica is a great host.
We had a great time at Hidden Paradise. Plenty of room for our group of ten, ages 6-65. The kids pretty much lived in the pool. We loved being in the mountains and the view was spectacular.
The pictures do not do it justice. Views and accommodations were absolutely spectacular! The host communicated well with questions. We would love to come back!
It was an extraordinary experience, it rain alot and we still have a great time. We grill, play games, enjoy the lush vegetation, and the pool. The house is very conformable with everything you need available, also the stores are 10 minutes away down the mountain some of my guests said it was the most relaxing vacation they ever experience.
Stayed here with for a family trip of 14, ages 2-76. We loved the house, it’s secluded location, and gorgeous views. House was convenient to see this part of the island, as well as a quick day trip to San Juan. The host communicated with us from a week before our arrival and throughout our entire stay, even making recommendations on activities, food, and local tips. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if you’re looking for something a little bit off grid, but within a quick drive to enjoy some of PRs best spots.
Staying here was a highlight of our vacation. Our vacation to Puerto Rico was also part family reunion. There were 10 in our group and the house provided comfortable accommodation for everyone.
The location is ideal for both relaxing and enjoying the beautiful ambiance of the house, and going on excursions to El Yunque, the bioluminescent bay at Luquillo, and the beaches of Vieques and Culebra.
The decor is filled with distinctive and beautiful works of art throughout. We loved our stay and would happily recommend this house to friends and family.
We had the best time at Monica’s property with extended family. There is is much space to accommodate everyone, we had ages 4-84!
The pool was wonderful, both spaces were well equipped with everything we needed. Monica is a fabulous host who was available to talk to me before my stay and answer a question I had! Great visit! We will be back!
Beautiful view! Tropical and relaxing. Had a great time. The pool was wonderful. Cool at first but easy to get used to on a hot day. Monica was very responsive to questions and helpful. Casper, the cat was friendly and our grandkids loved to feed him and make sure he had fresh water. Would have been nice to have a clothes line and a few hammocks! Very enjoyable stay.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location and views are spectacular. We were grateful for the mountain breeze that kept us comfortable both day and evening as we sat out on the deck/balcony enjoying coffee, meals, and cocktails. The two unit setup was perfect for our group of 14–providing ample space and privacy, as needed. The outdoor entertaining area was just what we needed to host additional family for an outdoor Christmas gathering! The kids spent hours every day in the pool and loved having the run of the yard. We will definitely be back!
drive, drive, drive(from the airport)and then climb a steep hill to find this hidden gem! Fabulous view! Great outdoor space! Quiet and safe and so beautiful!! Short distance to El Yunge to explore for a day. So close to the marina in Fajardo to get to the Island of Icacos. Loved the big table and sitting area around the pool, right outside of the kitchen. Wish there would have been a better way to get from the upstairs unit to the downstairs unit, but not a big deal.
What a lovely home with an exquisite view! We so enjoyed our stay. There were numerous gathering areas so all nine of us could get together or find quiet spots to be alone. The pool was beautiful and well used. Any questions or issues we had were addressed quickly and efficiently by our very friendly host. We were in PR during spring break so lots of people and traffic- make reservations ahead of time if you have special adventures in mind. We went snorkeling ( most beautiful beach ever!), played in waterfalls in the rain forest and ate and ate and ate. Great trip and great home.
Our family of 13 (including 7 young children) enjoyed every moment at this beautiful property. With amazing views and spacious layout, this is a premier vacation rental. There's great outdoor space, ample comfortable beds and a wonderful pool area. There are well stocked kitchens on both levels. We ended up using the upper level for coffee and breakfast and the lower level for dinner, close to grill and pool. Monica is an exceptional communicator and thoughtful host. We had one brief power outage but there's a large generator to insure there's always power. Beautiful beaches and great hikes are all a short drive away. The kids loved the friendly cat and picking bananas and star fruit. Highly recommend this house for guests of all ages.
Amazing fortress near the top of a tropical mountain
Our family of 12 (three generations, ages from 76 down to 4) all enjoyed this house as our home base for exploring around Eastern Puerto Rico.
Our group didn't utilize the downstairs kitchen much, instead cooking in the upstairs kitchen, just to have everyone together. The pool was great, and we spent many evenings sitting in the breezeway area, a nice, spacious covered outdoor space.
Some VRBO listings may exaggerate views or sizes of rooms or yards, but not the case with this property. The views were stunning, and we had plenty of room to enjoy our week.
The host's communication and response time was excellent. Highly recommended.
Monica could not have done more to take care of us. When the grocery stores were going to be closed because of Christmas hours, she volunteered to grocery shop ahead of time for us. It was nice to have food for Christmas Day!!! The property has enough space for all nine of us. Plenty of towels and pillows for everyone. We were so busy we hardly used the pool, but it was nice to soak our feet after a hike in El Yunque.Monica communicated often and quickly with us, so we had no problems during our stay. Added bonuses: our family loved the starfruit tree on the property and ate the fruit right off the tree AND the resident cat, Casper, helped ease our missing our own furry people we had to leave at home.Could NOT recommend more highly- you will have a great stay here!!!
We had 11 of us (3 families) with kids aged 2-17 and we all loved the house and pool. The two units were perfect and allowed everyone to have their own space. The kids would have been fine with never leaving the house since the pool was beautiful, and they had so much fun. We used the downstairs kitchen since it was so convenient to the patio which we used a lot, but the one upstairs is perfect for large groups. The view looking toward the coast and city was gorgeous and especially at night made you feel like you were in a scene from a movie. There is a lot to do within 30 minutes of the house, so we took Monica's suggestion and took a sunset catamaran trip to Cayo Icacos which was wonderful. We also visited and hiked in El Yunque National Forest, visited several beaches and even got to get the grandkids pony rides in Luquillo. The house has a resident outdoor cat named Casper that is extremely friendly and he helped us miss our pets much less. He was great with the grandkids and acted like he was one of the family. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a perfect place to stay in Puerto Rico.

We enjoyed our stay it is beautiful being on the mountain top and looking down at the ocean. It accommodated everyone in our group. There were extra towels which is a real plus. Showers all worked great, and bathrooms were well done. It was great to have 2 living spaces. There was plenty of room. The TV's were great when the children needed a rest. On the downside we vacationed there in February and the pool was cold and there was no heat in the Jacuzzi. Grocery stores are not that close. You will have to light the pilot if you cook upstairs. If you bring young children make sure you purchase the Insurance, we were charged for the window shade in one of the bedrooms. One of the grandchildren pulled it down too far & it separated at the top. I did purchase the Insurance and was glad I did. The Manager is easy to reach & helpful. I would definitely go back it is a beautiful Villa.
My family of 8 adults and 5 children from infant to 14 recently stayed at this home in Ceiba. The house is two units, with the downstairs recently updated, and the upstairs more in line with decor you would expect from a home in PR. We had the whole house. We had an issue with one of the AC units that the host immediately tried to resolve, but was unable to due to the tropical storm. The upstairs does not have an AC in the common area/kitchen, only in the bedrooms, so it was initially hot. We purchased an upright fan, put it in the master and pushed the air to the common area. This helped significantly. The house has a generator and a water cistern that we needed after tropical storm Ernesto blew through and Ceiba lost power. We felt comfortable and safe during the storm, and the host was in constant communication to update us and make sure we were ok, which we appreciated. The location is about a 4 minute drive up the mountain with lots of twits and turns to get there, but the view is worth the drive. The photos in the listing don't do the view justice. I found the listing to be accurate in terms of the description of the property. The outdoor patio area and the pool supplied countless hours of quality family time with the kids, even during the rain. The kids loved the nature surrounding the property, the fruit trees, and Casper the cat who lives on property. Despite the storm, we had a great stay, the host was great, and we would not hesitate to come back!
A lovely, carefully maintained home in the Ceiba hills, with sweeping ocean views. Monica, the host, is very available but also lets you keep your distance at this hidden paradise.
This property is stunning! Excellent views, quiet at night, lovely breezes ,and a great pool. Our family of 9 could spread out and be comfortable due to the two apartments. We loved eating together on the upstairs porch after a long day at the beach. As with any home that gets a lot of use, some things were broken, but Monica responded quickly to our reports. Overall, an superior vacation spot!
