LUXURY MANSION 3 FLOORS, POOL, GAME ROOM, RAIN FOREST VIEW, NEAR BEACH AND RIVER

We are an extended family of 9 adults who rented this beautiful home for our Christmas gathering this year. We have talked for years of going away together and having a vacation experience rather than giving gifts and this was our first trip together. We have all traveled extensively and rented other homes around the world, but all agreed that this home is one of the best, if not the best, we have ever stayed in. It accommodated us very well and we never felt crowded or on top of one another, even though we could have used more bedrooms given that we are all adults and had to share bedrooms. This is truly a home, thoughtfully decorated and stocked with everything you need. They even decorated it for Christmas! We felt like guests in someone's beloved home and not as though we were in a rental property and appreciate being trusted to stay in a home that is obviously loved and well taken care of by the owners. We enjoyed many activities around the island but were always happy to stay "home" and enjoy the comfort and beauty of this special property. Sitting on the deck listening to the tree frogs and birds and watching the iguanas and the light shifting on the rainforest was probably our favorite activity of the entire vacation. No one wanted to leave, and that's a good thing! Thank you so much for sharing your treasured home with us. We agree with others who have commented that the photos don't do it justice. You simply must experience it!

We were greeted by owner beautiful home all the amenities one would need were supplied! We enjoyed the pool relaxed daily with our coffee on the wrap around deck the kids loved it and we always felt safe this property is amazing and we would return in the future we had 2 couples and 4 children -plenty of room for all of us!!! Thank you for sharing a piece of paradise with us!!!

Firstly, I have to say the pictures DO NOT do this house justice! It is absolutely stunning and extremely spacious. We were two families with 4 very young children and this house was perfect - we NEVER felt crowded at all. The owners were extremely accommodating and provided us with high chairs, pack n plays and even baby gates. The terrace is very wide, sheltered from the sun and great view! The house was very luxurious, very well stocked and organized, and everything high end-We truly felt that we were in the lap of luxury. The pool was so fun and great for kids - gated for safety, nice walk in steps and even a jets section which the kids loved. The view is stunning of the rain forest and we even saw Iguanas sleeping in the trees and horses trotting around. The location was very convenient and close to get to everything that we wanted to see. Old San Juan - 45 minutes along a scenic route highway, Pinones boardwalk a must see! The BioLuminiscent tour only about 20 minutes away. The beach in Luguilla is beautiful, huge, sandy - perfect for kids or anyone for that matter. The kiosks are just five minutes away where you can get authentic puerto rican grub, or enjoy a good New York deli sandwhich, a high-end seafood restaurant, a really great burger or delicisous Spanish Tapas. A fun experience for sure. The only criticism is that you cannot walk to anything. Although very close to everything by car, you really cannot walk anywhere - you have to have a car there. There is the restaurant at Hacienda Carabali that you could walk to, but since the house is up on a hill, it was too hard to walk to with strollers, The positive FAR outweighed this aspect.

To us, customer service is key -Mickey the owner, and Vilmari were excellent. We had been travelling for 12 hours when we arrived at the house and our kids were starving. Mickey had provided us with a welcome plate with cheese, meat, bread etc. which was a true LIFE SAVER for us as we were able to feed the kids immediately. Additionally, my son developed an ear infection while we were there - i texted Mickey to see if there was a clinic nearby - he did research and found us a local pediatrician and called ahead to let them know we were coming. He even offered to meet us to take us there - which was so thoughtful.

We would recommend this house to anyone who is considering travelling to Puerto Rico! Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!
