The terrace at Villa Ilusion 2 is glorious! We loved sitting and taking in the beautiful views morning, afternoon, and evening. The location was easy to find, literally around the corner from Mar Chiquita, and while a little off the beaten path, it was worth it for the quiet, relaxing, and secure area. We felt very safe. Ita was very responsive when we had questions and excellent to work with. We highly recommend Villa Ilusion 2!
Beautiful beach house with breathtaking ocean views of Mar Chiquita beach. The house is very clean, relaxing, big and comfortable. Perfect location with spacious porch facing the ocean. The host is amazing, literally just a phone call away. There is a food market, and a bakery close by. anrestaurant closerestaurant
The property was perfect for us. The ocen view and Mar Chiquita beach within walking distance was priceless.The host was very professional and responded to any questions we had right away.Will definitely stay there again.A
Property is a slice of paradise. I could spend my whole vacation on the patio watching the waves. The Host was very prompt with her responses and she offered solutions to our inquiries. It’s a wonderful place for family gatherings. The location was perfect for us because we were meeting our future in-laws who lived nearby. Beaches around the corner.. pictures are taken from that the house’s terrace where I spent most of my time.
We had an absolutely perfect time! The place is prettier, bigger and more welcoming than pictures show! The view is breath taking. Super close gorgeous beaches, great food and the prefect house.

Great stay.
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The owners were wonderful, the house was well stocked and comfortable and the view was gorgeous. Two beaches are within a 2 minute walk and the amenities of town are a 5-10 minute drive. Our family of four - including 2 teenaged boys - enjoyed it thoroughly.

Beautiful ocean views, very clean and comfortable
Five and more stars!!! We stay at this place every year. The views are indeed spectacular, and the house is very clean. It is located next to the Marchiquita beach, which is ideal for the families, especially with young children. The owners are very nice! A great place for a nice vacation!
We had a great time relaxing at this house. The owners made it easy to check in and out and provided great information about local restaurants and activities. The owners were also very responsive when we had questions about the house. The house is within walking distance of the beach and we were able to explore much of the north coast from the house.
This home has the perfect location for someone that wants to see the whole island or just plant themselves on the beach. We travelled around a bit and had a great time. Lots to see and do in Puerto Rico. A beautiful beach is a 5 minute walk and so is a grocery store with a great bakery. Overall great place to stay
Jorge and Maria met us at the airport and guided us to the rental. They were so awesome to give us a quick run-down of everything. The house is beautiful and has amazing views. We slept comfy, and are happy with the stay. There is a little grocery store near-by, which is convenient! Loved this place!!!

Beautiful home overlooking the ocean. Choice of beaches within walking distance.
Wonderful place to spend your vacation. Property owner meet us at the airport and then accompanied us to pick up our rental car. Property owner escorted us to the vacation home and went through the home to show us how everything worked and made sure we didn't have any questions. The property owner even left us snacks gave us directions to several local places of interest. Wonderful experience

Great location and super experience
We are a family of four and loved this location. It was away from the hub bub, but very safe. The view is spectacular - loved waking up every morning to the sunrise and birds singing with the waves crashing below. Home is clean and well stocked in every way. Maria and Jorge were very helpful - had the pleasure of meeting Lydia who became our Abuela during our stay. Beach down the street is stunning...didn't need to go anywhere else. We loved it and hated to leave.

Great experience! Highly recommended!
I must begin to say that Mr. and Mrs. Charneco (property owners) are very detail oriented and awesome hosts. The house is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and clean. From the terrace there is a beautiful scenery of the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The house is located in a very quiet and safe area which is great for families with children. They have plenty of space for the kids to run around and have fun. My grandchildren had lots of fun and we did too!

Perfect getaway location with all necessities nearby
Jorge and Maria did not fail to live up to the standards of previous reviewers. The house was perfect for the two of us to just lounge and watch the ocean (fantastic location and the waves were impressive against the rocks). Definitely can not swim in this area due to the strong waves and rocky formations but that also keeps people away. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had the quiet, relaxing vacation we were expecting. Thanks Jorge and Maria!

About as close to paradise as you can get.
If you are looking for the perfect beach getaway, then this is it. It's the perfect blend of secluded and yet convenient. The house and amenities were top notch with one of the most amazing ocean views you'll ever see. With a virtually private beach a stones throw away and access to the local quaint town of Manati only a 15 drive away, the location couldn't have been better. We went with some friends and did day trips to Old San Juan and Aricebo (the dish from Contact), each less than hour from the front porch. The owners were great to work with and gave us tons of inside info on places to eat and visit. It was a steal at twice the price.

Awesome property.
We loved our stay. A nice cozy home set above the ocean. Surf sounds, great views and wonderful hosts. Maria and Jorge took us from our rental car pick up to the home. Clean, breezy and relaxing. All we could want.
A nice grocery store close by for all our needs. We were close to San Juan - about a 40 minute drive where we spent New Years Eve watching the fireworks. The nearby beach - Mar Chiquita, was a great spot to watch the waves roll in. A short walk or an even shorter drive.
Thanks Maria and Jorge. Hope to see you again.
