  • Now we know why you call it your "dream home" Monica! What a wonderful place to stay. The view over the valley to the ocean is awesome, the house itself it beautiful and the location near the beaches, and transportation to Vieques and Culebra were great. Thanks for a very enjoyable place to get away from our northern winter for a week!

  • It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Monica's place in Ceiba. It was in the perfect location and our group was able to see so much of the island. We visited the island of Culebra, took surfing lessons in Luquillo, kayaked in the Cabezas the San Juan nature preserve, hiked the Toro Negro Rainforest, visited Old San Juan and explored Caves in the Tanamá River area. There is SO MUCH to do on this beautiful island. Coming "home" to Ceiba was wonderful. Our group of 14 people rented the entire house and enjoyed pancake breakfasts on the gorgeous deck overlooking the ocean. There are wonderful restaurants in the area, and the coqui frogs will lull you to sleep. Best of all, Monica made everything so easy and accommodating. I hope to travel with my family to Puerto Rico in the near future. Without a doubt, we plan to stay in Ceiba. Thank you for everything Monica.

  • What a gorgeous home! We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. The photos on the website are wonderful, but they don't do your home justice, Monica! It was exactly what we were hoping for, and then some. While the weather didn't always cooperate with our plans to visit the nearby islands, we were thrilled to have sucha a spacious, beautiful place to stay. The views are incredible! Thank you for sharing this amazing house with us!

  • Hidden Paradise is just that - it's a beautiful house in the perfect location. Close to the Rain Forest, the beaches and the islands, but quiet and restful. We had a wonderful respite, and Monica is graciousness personified. We had a wedding vow renewal ceremony and Shayla and I could not be more pleased with the party. Aida kept the house clean, fed the super dogs and cats and catered for our reception - she deserves special mention. An outstanding vacation, including sailing, fishing and sightseeing, we'll recommend it to all our friends, and next time we'll bring our golf clubs!!

  • Monica, what can I say but 'THANK YOU'. We had an incredible time. It's been over 20yrs since I last visited Puerto Rico, so coming back and having our family reunion at the house was PERFECT (6 families, total of 15 people). We rented both floors. The view from either floor is breath taking. You can see the valleys, the ocean and the little islands across. Your home has everything one would need to live in. Monica, you thought of everything. The house is decorated so beautifully, a wonderful feel of not just Mexican style but of true Latin taste. The sweet smell the breeze brings in day and night I'll never forget. Being sung to every night by the coquies was perfect too. Each room with its own AC unit was a great idea. And we had no problems with bugs. The house is close to everything. 15-20 minutes from Luquillo Beahces, Fajardo, the ferry in Fajardo (which we recommend your guests take), casino, the Rain Forest, shops, restaurants, supermarket, banks, etc. Even Old San Juan isn't so far away (30 to 45 minutes). Ponce is an hour-n-half away and we were able to visit my family there. We loved every minute of our trip. My children have memories to last them a life time and your home in Ceiba made it all possible. I'm so happy I found it in VRBO. God Blessed us abundantly! Suggestions for future guests: Rain Forest, El Morro, a ferry ride of 90 minutes to Culebra ($3 per adult)(gorgeous beach), kayaking at night at the bio bay in Fajardo ($45 per adult), any and all fried food stands you see! Don't stay anywhere else, come to Ceiba, it beats staying at any hotel, I promise, its true. We hope to visit PR soon and not let so much time go by again as the last. Thank you again for everything!

  • I am way late on posting this; my husband and I stayed in Feb 2005 and were so in awe we can just now gather our thoughts to comment... :-) The house was gorgeous and well-kept; the views of the ocean were spectacular; we even managed to find the tiny coqui! The best vacation and best deal on a vacation rental, EVER! Thanks, I hope to return soon!

  • Our group of 4 adults and 5 kids, ages 9-14, had a lovely week at Monica's house mid-April. Photos do not capture how beautifully situated the home is on the mountainside, with excellent views of the ocean, islands, etc. With the changing angle of the sun every time we looked out it seemed to be a new panorama, all gorgeous. The house (we stayed on the top floor) is lovingly furnished and seemed roomy even for our large group. There were 2 TV's & 2 DVD's, which made our young people happy during quiet times. Lots of English-speaking channels and a bunch of DVD's on hand too! The wrap-around porch was like another room, and there were no problems with mosquitos. The orientation and altitude of the house made air conditioning unnecessary. The house was spotlessly clean, well maintained and the neighborhood very nice and safe. There are a couple of beach chairs, umbrella and rafts for use at the beach. I suggest you bring your own beach towels, as the ones at the house are too nice for beach use. You are surrounded by the flora and fauna of the rain forest. The coqui frogs can be loud if you are a light sleeper, not to mention a neighboring rooster and the chorus of dogs (which we adored!) I'm a light sleeper and so brought earplugs and it was fine. Essentially, I don't know why anyone would stay anywhere else when coming to Puerto Rico. Monica and Milito are charming people with big hearts. They stayed downstairs for most of our visit and it was nice to have them around for consulting about activities.

  • I rented the downstairs portion of Monica's home in March 2005 along with my sister, her boyfriend, and my son. We had such an incredible time that we returned in April 2006 and rented the top portion of the house with more family members. Monica's house is beautiful and just being able to stay there is like a vacation in itself. Feeling the ocean breezes and listening to the coquis in the evenings is like a wonderful dream. The location is breathtaking, and the proximity to the beaches, islands, and rainforest make it an ideal vacation home. Monica and Milito are both so friendly and warm and helpful with any questions. Since we've returned from our vacation, 2 of my coworkers have expressed an interest in the house just from hearing about it from me, and I have given them the web site to look at. I would not hesitate to recommend the house to anyone, and I'd love to return! My 5 year old son is already asking when we can go back!

  • There is no more friendlier and relaxing place on Earth than Puerto Rico and this home epitomizes all of this and more. We spent our Xmas holiday in this mountaintop retreat and were swept up by the gorgeous views and hospitality of our hosts. Monica's description of her home on the website is totally accurate and actually does not do it justice. The home is a blend of cosmopolitan and rain forest charm. You have all the comforts of home for a very modest price and there is no comparison with the resorts nearby in terms of accommodations and view. We will be back.

  • I stayed for one week at the house in April and loved every minute of it. Monica and Milito are wonderful hosts, the house is gorgeous and it is convenient to everything that you want to do. I rented the upstairs unit with my sister and 4 year-old nephew, and we had a wonderful time. If you open the windows and doors in the afternoon, a perfect breeze cools the entire unit. We rented a car and visited El Yunque, Luquillo Beach, Culebra Island, Old San Juan and just drove around taking in the island. I generally don't use all the amenities at the high-end resorts, so this was perfect for us because it forced us to get out and find our way around Puerto Rico, which made for a wonderful adventure. The other advantage is being able to cook whenever you feel like it and you can even whip up your favorite drinks in the kitchen. We are already planning our trip for next year and thinking about renting both units for the entire family.
