Escape to paradise !!!!!!!!!

Review Submitted: November 13, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
This was our second visit to Villa El Encanto. The home and grounds are absolutely beautiful and exactly as described. The views from the terrace are breathtaking day and night (I could sit there the entire visit and never be bored). We feel very comfortable and right at home when staying here. Everything needed is nearby and easy to get to. We enjoyed visiting Old San Juan and it's historic buildings and landmarks. There are also local fishing charters for a great day on the water. The snorkeling and diving on Desechao Island should not be missed. When we visited in February 2008 we went on an adventure into the mountains and attended the coffee festival in Maricao where we were able to enjoy good music, native arts and crafts, food and of course great coffee. We enjoy visiting the local restaurants and purchasing the fresh fruits available from the street side vendors. I would highly recommend a stay here at Villa El Encanto to everyone. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Great place to relax

Review Submitted: April 21, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Once again, we had a wonderful time at the Villa. Evelyn took great care of us and made our stay even more pleasant. The kids loved the pool and we enjoyed many barbeques out at the pool kitchen. The property is very clean and the landscaping is spectacular. I honestly think this is the best property to rent in Rincon! I have already recommended this property to several friends.

Paradise

What a truely special place to visit. The Villa and its surrounding property is a gorgeous, relaxing, peaceful, and very comfortable place to stay. Both the Villa and Villita el Encanto have every amenity to make you feel at home. Its location is also wonderful! The gardens, pool area and villas are very well maintained and make for a charming, serene, cozy getaway. Not only is the Villa beautiful (what a view!), but Rincon and its surrounding towns are very easy places to get around. Driving to local supermarkets, restaurants, and attractions such as horseback riding, deep sea fishing, diving, surfing and gorgeous beaches were easy to find and fun to explore. The people were very friendly, we felt very safe and secure, and had a very relaxing and fun vacation. I would highly recommend staying at the Villa and/or Villita el Encanto. It's paradise!

Wonderful Escape!

The moment we arrived at Villa El Encanto we knew we'd made the right vacation choice. The pictures on the website don't do justice to the villa or the ocean view. The villa is spacious, spotless, and fully equipped, especially the kitchen. Inside and out the villa is immaculate. The rooms are large and the furniture very comfortable. We felt at home right away. The well maintained pool, pool house, and barbeque make for comfortable outdoor relaxing. The grounds, with many flowering plants and unusual palms, are equally inviting.

The clean beach, great for surfing, swimming and walking, is a short downhill walk away. Also, there are several good restaurants right on the water. Finally, we must note the warm welcome and detailed orientation provided by the property manager who met us upon our arrival.

All in all, Villa El Encanto was the best place we ever stayed. We will always remember it fondly.

Wonderful Experience

Review Submitted: March 15, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
This Villa was absolutely amazing. The up-keep and cleanliness was a 10 and the location couldnt have been any better. The views were unbelievable! I stayed at the Villa for a week with 7 close friends and did not want to leave once the end of the week had arrived. If you are looking for a good place to go with close friends or family, this is it. If you like the outdoors, the ocean, and exploring, this is perfect; Or if you want to relax and enjoy perfect scenary, this is great. The people in the area that the villa is located are friendly and helpful with anything that you may need. I would reccommend this Villa and Rincon to anyone! I have all intentions of traveling back to Rincon, PR and to this Villa next time I travel. Villa El Encanto is a perfect 10!!

Rincon

Review Submitted: March 10, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We had a wonderful time staying in Villa el Encanto. A beautiful house with even more beautiful landscaping. My children loved exploring the grounds and swimming in the pool. Great views and a nice location on top of a steep hill just above Sandy Beach. One small criticism: the price advertised is the small villita not the villa and the villa is just the bottom floor. The second floor is inaccessible and probably used to calculate the expansive 5200 square footage. Other than that, much to reccommend. Caretaker Evelyn and her husband were very nice and very helpful. The wifi went out often with the winds and Evelyn always came by to reset it. My parents stayed at the villita which they enjoyed very much. A space of their own but only steps from the main villa and their grandchildren. If you're eating in like we did because we have 3 small children, look for the seafood man who sells fresh fish in the middle of town from behind his truck. We had some good take out from Bungers. The beach we went to most was family-friendly (small waves) just north of the main town. You can access it through the low-key hotel Rincon by the Sea or by the street before it. A bbq place just north of that on the same road was fantastic for both bbq and fresh seafood. They'll give you a name of another guy who sells fish directly to them. You can call and arrange to meet him. The zoo in Mayaguez was worth the trip. The tropical forest just north of 111 was a waste of time with the kids, but might be worth it you're hikers. Sunset at the lighthouse was always memorable. When the baby was napping we had the pool and papaya coladas to keep us happy. All in all a very nice stay.

Terrific getaway

Review Submitted: March 6, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
The perfect place for a perfect vacation. Everything was just as described... very helpful and friendly contacts, beautiful plants and flowers on the grounds, perfectly maintained, and very private, peaceful and quiet. Yet restaurants, the beach, etc. are all within a short walking distance. Very convenient location. Sitting on the patio with the great view was a terrific place to relax at the end of the day. Picture perfect! And you can even get pizza delivered from town!

The description of the propert was very accurate. It was very clean and the landscaping is absolutely beautiful. The owner provided good customer service, I felt that the fee to pay for cleaning was too high for only a four day stay. I would definitely recommend this property to others looking to stay in the area.

I had the wonderful pleasure of staying at Villa El Encanto with my family. The home is a perfect blend of class and comfort. Its really close to the beach but the best thing for me was the view, it was incredible. When we go back we will definitely be giving you a call.
