Our family had a wonderful stay at Villa El Encanto! Evelyn was very gracious and helpful. She was there to greet us and made us feel right at home. The location was perfect and the view was beautiful. The house and grounds were very spacious. We especially enjoyed the pool and outdoor kitchen/bar area. Puerto Rico is beautiful and the people are very nice and relaxed. The house is located just a short walk from Sandy Beach and only a short drive to many great beaches. We surfed, snorkeled and really enjoyed Rincon. The Tamboo Tavern, Tapas, and Casa Verde were all great spots and very close to the house. Thanks for everything.

Villa El Encanto is truly an "enchanted place". The location high above the ocean is spectacular with beautiful views surrounding the Villa. The Villa is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable and luxurious. It truly is a paradise. My stay was wonderful, so enjoyable, so relaxing and I loved the location, the Villa, Rincon and the Ocean and Caribbean Sea beaches. Hope to go back soon!

Owner response:Thanks for your lovely review! We are happy that you enjoyed Villa El Encanto and its surroundings. Please return soon! Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Perfect for a Honeymoon!

My wife & I spent our honeymoon in Puerto Rico. After a few days in San Juan, we rented a car and made our way over to Rincon. Villa El Encanto was perfect for us! The house is situated up on a quiet hill with beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding towns. We enjoyed chilling by the pool, while enjoying the great sun and landscape. The location could not be better. Close to the beach and the city of Rincon, but not too close. We always felt like we were returning to a secluded villa, where we would have quiet and privacy. The amenities were well beyond what we needed. Overall, we had a perfect honeymoon, and Villa El Encanto was a large part of that. We would definitely come back on our next trip to Rincon.

Owner response:It is wonderful to hear that your honeymoon at Villa El Encanto was a memorable one! We hope you return to spend many anniversaries at the Villa. Thanks for taking the time to tell us of your experience. Our best regards and luck for your new future together.

What a delightful place to stay, a perfect vacation home! Every need is met, every comfort provided in this spacious, welcoming villa. There is no need to leave once arriving, yet plenty to see when you feel adventurous. This was my first visit to Puerto Rico. It made a lasting impression from the friendliness of the landlords to the beautiful pool, lovely flowers blooming, birds singing and the beach.....ah, the beach!

Owner response:Thanks for taking a moment to provide us with your feedback! We appreciate your comments. We are pleased that your stay at the Villa was both relaxing and comfortable. We look forward to your return. Gracias

Redefining Relaxation

There are no words to describe the wonderfully relaxing time I had here. Bunch of good friends hanging out, with time and space to decompress and let the worries fall away. My favorite spot is the covered breezeway outside between the pool and driveway, protected from the sun and occasional rain. I can't remember the last time I took a vacation like this! There is so much to see in the area, and the local beaches were quiet in the mornings when we were there. The country is so lush and green, and beautiful. This was exactly what I needed! Thank you for everything.

Owner response:Thanks so much for your lovely review of Villa El Encanto. We are so happy that you enjoyed your visit. Hope you visit us again soon! Muchas gracias.

The pictures do not do this place justice. Villa El Encanto is more than just charming; the views of Anasco, Aguada and Aguadilla from this hill top paradise are awe inspiring. The house is well appointed, tastefully decorated to understate the indoors while exhaulting the natural beauty oudoors. The grounds, which include a nice size swimming pool (my 15 year old competitive swimmer son was able to do his laps in it every morning) are very nicely mantained yet respectful of the lush flora of the tropics. This is PR living at its best. The owner was attentive during our stay and the local property manager was friendly, helpful and unintrusive. We highly recommend this property as an alternative to expensive, overcrowded 4 and 5 star hotels on the east coast.

Owner response:Thanks so much for your wonderful review. We appreciate your comments, and we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Villa El Encanto! We do our utmost to ensure that our customers have a carefree vacation. We look forward to your return to Villa El Encanto. Best wishes to you and your family.

Nothing Short of AMAZING

As an annual visitor of the beautiful tropics of Puerto Rico, staying at the Villa El Encanto has only heightened my vacation experience. This luxurious resort is surrounded by an array of exotic plants and even some birds. One time, I even saw a peacock spread their feathers right on the property. Not only can you see stunning ocean views in the outer areas all day (patio, pool, etc.), but also in the kitchen! Adds an extra perk to cooking! The bedrooms are spacious and extremely comfortable. The Villa is in close proximity to many local spots, including cafes and bars. I would relax and enjoy a typical lunch, while watching the blue ocean waves from the bar or chatting with a friendly local. Then take a stroll or swim on Sandy Beach before dancing the night away down the street at another restaurant. Overall, Puerto Rico is truly captivating and Villa El Encanto offers way more than what is expected. Forget the photos, one has to see it for themselves to grasp the wonders. Every year I return with more friends, each saying “I love it here!”

Owner response:It is a pleasure to have you as a regular customer at Villa El Encanto! Thank you so much for your poetic description of the Villa and its surroundings. We are happy that you and your friends enjoy all our resort has to offer, Your generosity and kindness is greatly appreciated. We hope you visit us during whale watching season in March. You can see the whales from our terraces or from the Lighthouse nearby. See you again next year or sooner! Gracias!

This was my first time witnessing a dream vacation & so it was. It pretty much gave me a complete idea of how I would love to spend the rest of my life when it's possible. I was in awwe the whole time of me being there. Wonderful pool, nice grilling area with a nice grill to barbeque on. Great scenary everywhere I turned, a wonderful bar on the beach in walking distance. Kool interesting locals who were welcoming. A gift store with a lovely inviting lady right across the street from that. This was a "what more can you ask for" type of stay. Relaxing, exciting, endearing, pleasureful all in one. Impeccable to say the least... but of course I didn't. ;)

Paradise in real life

Words cannot express the amazing time I had in Puerto Rico and the Villa El Encanto provided the perfect quarters to enjoy my visit. From the beauty of the home to the convenience of its location, how can one go wrong? El Rincon was a great experience from it's gorgeous nearby beaches to the delicious restaurants and exciting night life. Soo much to offer and It took just one day of exploring around and I had the area memorized. The home was also very comfy to say the least. It was very well maintained and with all of the amenities offered, the comfortability made paradise that much more pleasurable. And for the lazy days that you might want to just relax, the satellite TV, cooking facilities, and pool came in very handy. A vacation from my vacation. But all-in-all, I had a great time and I cannot say enough great things about Villa El Encanto to do it justice. I would definitely recommend it to any and everyone and I hope to visit again very soon! Thank you for everything!!!

Owner response:How nice of you to take the time from your busy schedule to provide such great feedback about Villa El Encanto's facilities and neighborhood. We hope you return real soon! Thanks again.

We have occasionally spent weekends at this gorgeous villa and plan to visit more frequently. The villa was easily found because directions were so clear. Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised to see how immaculate and well appointed this villa is kept. The furnishing and supplies were more than adequate for a vacation stay. The check out process went smoothly and we received our security deposit quickly. Evelyn was extremely helpful and gave us tips on were to dine and shop. I would definitely recommend this villa highly to anyone seeking a fun relaxing spot in Puerto Rico.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind words and repeat visits to Villa El Encanto. You and your lovely wife are most gracious guests. We are happy to hear that you appreciate our efforts to make your stay at the Villa enjoyable and relaxing during your time away from your hectic schedule. We look forward to your next visit.
