The beauty of Villa Ilusion becomes an illusion once you enter the property!
We booked 10 nights there are lot of problems in the house but I will do short because no space.1. dishes and house were dirty, we cleaned dishes, bought some towels and salat bowls from Ithe local supermarket.2. Ice maker was not working (it was fixed next day and we had to stay all day there waiting for the handy men to come)3. No HOT WATER whatsoever, will not be in the nearest future, unless the owner invests serious money to get a normal water heater and not solar heather.4. The water pressure was not there, I took some pictures of each problem but unfortunately I can not download it that you and see what I mean by NO WATER PRESSURE. Water was hardly flowing from the shower.5. Beds were very small and uncomfortable, the air conditioning were in the bedrooms only, so the bedroom was cold and leaving room/kitchen hot. 6. There was only 1 closet, once we saw it we did not unpack our luggages. Tiny and lot of other items there that were not supposed to be there.7. Water pump was leaking badly, that was the main reason why there were no water pressure in the shower. 8. Pool was filthy dirty. they cleaned it TWICE while we were there and from 10 night we were "allowed" to use the pool only 2 days.The view is wonderful!!! The area is fenced and our cat was happy!Now you know what really you can expect.from the house!

Awesome views and a great place to relax.
Fernando's Villa Illusion is a rare gem perched some 60 feet above the thundering waves on the North coastline on a limestone cliff. To get to an actual beach requires a 5 minute walk down to Mar Chiquita. Right or left of that beach are over 2 miles of other coves, limestone cliffs and coastal rainforests in each direction where we hardly saw another person. Be wary of extremely strong currents and waves crashing directly onto coral... Beautiful area but it's wild so be cautious. The house itself is perfect for a large family with an awesome deck overlooking the ocean and crystal clear warm pool below. For a house subject to 24x7 sea salt spray it is in fantastic condition and well appointed inside with a full kitchen and plenty of room. All the ductless bedroom air conditioners work splendidly. As far as some of the former complaints of dogs, there are two remaining older dogs as of 4/2024 and they do occasionally bark but we didn't have any problem with them. The yard is beautifully landscaped and Fernando deserves a lot of credit for keeping this place in great shape. The "neighborhood" is upscale and rural. There is a locking gate and full perimeter fence although we never felt the slightest bit uneasy around any of the friendly locals. Some of the more remote parking areas need common sense precautions like taking everything with you. Remember good water shoes if you go as all the coral is very sharp and there are many urchins you don't want bare feet around!

Overall Great
We stayed here as a baseball team for a tournament. The view and location were simply amazing. The owners were always available for any questions we had. We have zero complaints. That being said, there are some things that I would like to inform people. There are two dogs next door that continually bark. This is out of the owners control and it did not bother us, but I can't speak for everyone else. There was also issues with hot water due to the water pressure. We ended up getting warmer water by the end of our stay, but the first couple days took some getting used to. The owner came by to try to fix the issue and I believe he finally did. Our group consisted on 6 men 30+ years old that didn't mind these issues that were out of his control. It was overall a fantastic stay and we would gladly stay here again.

We all had a very good time at the pool and playing games that they had for us there pool tables, cornhole, dominoes that we played almost every other night and swim in the pool quite a bit when it was hot during the day it had a beautiful beach to walk on down below. The owners were absolutely wonderful. We got to meet at the end of our day. Hope to see them again.

Viviendo a plenitud frente al Mar en Villa Ilusión
Estamos muy agradecidos por la oportunidad de presenciar la GRANDEZA del mar que baña nuestra BELLA ISLA, desde este mágico e IMPRESIONANTE espacio, sencillamente HERMOSO! Si usted es "Pet lovers", y desea desconectarse del bullicio del área metro, "Villa Ilusión en Manatí" es el lugar ideal. Facilidades físicas limpias, organizadas, cómodas, amplias, equipadas con todo lo necesario, en una comunidad tranquila y silenciosa. Un paraíso sensorialmente estimulante. Acceso a exquisitos restaurantes a solo min. en carro, en especial, "Costa Azul", donde la comida servida de forma creativa, es sabrosa, y el servicio de alta calidad. Gracias a Fernando y Margarita, por haber estado en apoyo, compartir información vital para mantener la armonía del proceso, y responder a nuestros mensajes de forma adecuada, y a todo el personal de mantenimiento, en especial Don Jesús, por su respuesta rápida y eficiente. Los felicitamos y reconocemos por su esmero y amoroso empeño, para que todo estuviese en orden. A continuar generando éxitos en su empresa. Infinitas bendiciones!

Puerto Rico Trip
Views are amazing from the backyard and balcony. Outdoor entertainment space and pool were accommodating. The owner was pleasant to speak with and responded to concerns about a non-working water heater and septic cleanout overflowing during the first day of the stay. Neighbor to left has three dogs, and one barked continuously and the neighbor did nothing about it. The property is overpriced in my opinion. The inside of the house could use a deep clean, updating and organizing. Also, there was an issue with water pressure that fluctuated from day to day. Kitchen stove only has three working burners due to a missing knob. Gas grill is missing the ignitor button and showing age. Washing machine does not fill or drain properly and this is possibly due to the water pressure. Overall, the experience was mediocre and did not meet my expectations.

Second time staying here.
The location and property is a perfect place for families looking to enjoy a local Puerto Rico experience in a safe and quiet neighborhood. You are within walking distance to Mar Chiquita, and a very short drive to Mar Bella. The hosts are very responsive, and whether you want to relax by the pool over looking the ocean, or head out and explore local spots, there is plenty to keep you busy. We love this location, and will definitely be back.

🌞 Ocean View - Great Location - Excellent Hosts!
The view, the view, the VIEW! Could not get enough of it. Fernando and Margarita are wonderful hosts. Very easy to reach and quick to respond to our questions. The house had everything we needed. The weather was very hot during our stay so we really appreciated the excellent air conditioning in the bedrooms. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes, pots/pans, utensils. Cabinet is loaded with spices which was great as we like our spices! We really enjoyed the downstairs kitchen with grill. Mar Chiquita beach is only a 2 minute drive. Other public beaches are not too far away. Plenty of places to shop and eat nearby as well. The central location made it especially convenient for us venture out to both ends of the island. It was wonderful to be able to end our busy days back at Villa Illusion where we could relax, enjoy the pool, and listen to the ocean sounds. Fernando and Margarita - Thank you for your hospitality!

I am not much of a person to leave reviews. This was our first time on a family vacation to PR. The communication with Fernando is excellent and he is the type of person that will go out of his way, for an unforgettable vacation experience. You will truly experience a beautiful landscaped scenery, with a breathtaking view overlooking the pool and ocean. For family gatherings, it has everything you need for the perfect entertainment. The inside is clean, It can use some upgrades on the mattresses, however, I was here for a family vacation and enjoyed this place and PR to the fullest. l

Villa illusion
What an amazing vacation! Villa illusion was a beautiful home with an amazing view of the beach. My favorite days of the trip may have been the ones spent in the hammock on the porch reading and listening to the ocean. The kitchen is stocked with cooking utensils and spices, making meal prep easy. There are a few restaurants close by, plenty within a 20 minute drive. A car is a necessity, though. The bedrooms have AC. We tried not to use it the first few nights so we could hear the ocean, but even in April, it was warm enough that we needed it. Fernando was very responsive to questions and needs, both with questions about the house and local recommendations! There is a nice beach within walking distance. The location was a great launching point to explore both the east and west of Puerto Rico. We can’t wait to go back!

outstanding space by the ocean
Fernando and Margarita have a lovely home by the ocean. The outside space here is amazing. Lots of spaces to hang out by the pool, on an outside covered porch. The inside had 3 very adequate bedrooms. The second bathroom was downstairs, so harder to use . The owner was very responsive to our needs, and very helpful with local recommendations. This part of Puerto Rico is pretty rural , so you had to travel a bit if you wanted to do anything outside of local smalll restaurants. There is a lovely beach very close to house, but pretty rugged shoreline all along the North coast of PR But the house and owner are great!
