Our family loved this property!!! The outdoor spaces were even nicer than the pictures on the VBRO webpage. We spent most of our time outside either playing volleyball or in the pool. Plenty of outdoor seating spaces for our family of 15. The older family members brought all their snorkeling equipment and spent hours in the area behind the house. We do recommend some type of water shoes because the rocks were jagged. We would recommend this property to others 100%!
The property was beautiful and the communication with the host was prompt. There were some issues with the property overall, but weren't anything that took away form our trip.
Would stay agan
This is house is spectacular and beautiful. The staff was very helpful and the town was very friendly. My family and I enjoys our stay and are looking forward to rebook our trip.
We held our small wedding at this property in combination with a weeklong stay and couldnât have asked for anything more. My family also rented the house next door which created the perfect situation for everyone to get to know each other. Both properties are incredibly beautiful, the hosts are so generous for allowing us to do this, and we created memories for a lifetime during the week. If you have a chance to stay at Villa Carambola, do not hesitate!
Just left this wonderful property yesterday! The house and the view are beyond words! Coral is amazing and responsive and was an absolute joy to work with her. We truly had a hard time leaving. Canât wait to come back!!!!
Amazing property. Beautiful backyard and pool! The overlook into the ocean is great. There isnât a beach to relax at behind the house. It is pretty rough waters out there, but if you bring your own snorkel gear and youâre an experienced swimmer, I would assume the snorkeling would be amazing. There are sandy beaches within 10-20 minutes drive. We had a 50 person wedding here, and it went off without a hitch.
The property is absolutely beautiful. However upgrades do you need to be made. We were able to enjoy our time anyways with our family, as we don't get together often. The staff was very responsible and great with communication and fixing the issues that occurred. My favorite part about the Villa was the private beach the water is very calm. Thank you for our stay Alberto and Shannon! đ
This property has the most amazing outdoor space, pool, sunset and view of the ocean. The kids loved the waves at the beach and spending time at the pool. We did lots of great excursions including Toro verde zip lines, Tropical trail rides in Isabela, and snorkeling. There's lots of room for the families to spread out. The property manager was very responsive to any needs. We had a great and forever memorable time. The only negative was we didn't find any touristy type shopping locations in Aguadilla.
i would like to thank the owners, for sharing this Paradise with others. i celebrated my 50th Birthday at Villa Carambola; and it was an experience i will never forget...truly magical!
My family was so comfortable, the house is so family friendly and even baby friendly, beautiful, and its location...perfect! i will say...the photos donât do this place justice! it was so much more beautiful than the photos. i will also say that the housekeeper/maid, did an excellent job of cleaning up daily. i have traveled around the world; but, this was truly the favorite place i have stayed! Hopefully i will stay again with my family...Thank you !
The house is beautiful! Location is perfect! Not too far from major highway, but far enough for complete privacy.
Canât ask for better views from the house. The private beach access was so nice!
The house was FULLY stocked with everything you need (with the exception of food of course). Had every type of pan, pots, a million options for dish-ware, tons of utensils, coffee machines, aluminum foil, ziplock bags, bugs spray, garbage bags, tons of beach towels, shower towels, laundry detergent, etc.
The house was SUPER spacious and always cool temperature. Powder room by the pool came in clutch!
Property manager was awesome! Always replied to our texts questions within minutes. House keeper was also super sweet.
We will ABSOLUTELY stay there again!
The pictures really do not do the property justice. The property was bigger than I was expecting and we were pleasantly surprised. All 14 of us had our own space with plenty of room. Communication with Seelena and Coral once there was seamless. The property was perfect for our small wedding which was approved in advance. With that being said one of the freezers was down the majority of the stay which was difficult when coordinating an event. It was appreciated that is was brought to our attention immediately upon arrival. The comforters on the bed did not appear to be washed prior to the beds being made. Overall, our stay was fantastic and we would definitely stay at Villa Carambola or the other associated properties again!
Location and bones of the house are fabulous but a lot of work is needed to bring it back to it's potential. Only the bedrooms are airconditioned (they work great), most of the screens had holes, quite a few of the windows did not open, one of the ceiling fans did not work, Lamps in one of the bedrooms did not work, The stairs to the beach needed repair and were dangerous to access the small beach. When the caretakers showed up to maintain the grounds, they used the outside hoses and there was little to no water pressure while they were there daily. Lost power a couple of times and the whole house generator worked great but the internet and TV were not working while on generator. The home chef was wonderful. Beds comfortable. shower water temp was cool and took 20 minutes to reach luke warm. we were charged for a broken lamp and canopy bed (they were not broken by us, but 2 of the lamps did not turn on as well as one fan). We had a great time just wish the place was better cared for.
Our whole family was in Puerto Rico for my sons wedding and were thrilled to lengthen our stay at Villa Carambola. The home is beautifully decorated & the architecture is awe-inspiring. We were concerned about no ac but that wasnât a problem at all. We opened all the doors (and there are many) as soon as we woke up and enjoyed living in the well-appointed indoor/outdoor open spaces. There is plenty of space for all. Beds are comfortable & kitchen has everything you need. The home is also stocked with books, which we loved! We ate at the large table on the patio every day. We had some problems when we arrived but Coral came in and took care of many of them, including the refrigerator breaking and having to come up with an alternative. She took care of that along with some other issues in a very timely manner.
A few things in the listing we were excited about but ended up being very disappointed: We rented this house because we loved the idea of being able to be outside all day. Too many seat cushions are missing and/or completely ripped up and stained. Nothing like the pictures. The sitting area under the tree frequently had a strong sewer smell and the cushions were very stained on both sides. The loungers on the deck didnât have any cushions, so our bottoms didnât want to sit there and watch the sunset. The seating area consisted of a broken coffee table and cushions that were torn, terribly stained and very unappealing. We just feel, for a beach house, having appropriate outdoor furniture/cushions would be a pretty high priority. The good news is that the owner has now approved getting new cushions, but it would have been nice to have such an important detail taken care of before paying guests arrived. If we held the wedding there, we would have been furious at the lack of attention to details and general upkeep.
Another area in the description that we were looking forward to, were the availability of steps down to the water and even doing yoga on the platforms. They are pretty worn, shake a lot and even have a step missing. We looked down there every day but thereâs no way you want to go down there unless you were very strong to do snorkeling. It is a lot of large rocks and rough water.
Over all, we loved having our family together and enjoyed our stay at Villa Carambola. It could just use some freshening up.
This is a beautiful property that backs up to a cliff just off of the ocean, providing beautiful views all day. The outdoor spaces are great, with a ton of space for lounging and hanging around. The house has plenty of room for large groups. The property manager communicated well day off for check-in and throughtout the stay when we had any questions. This property is set back deep into a neighborhood, so plan accordingly, its not an easy in/out to the closest stores. Depsite power issues jn the area, the generator provide plenty of power throughout our stay with no issues. 10/10 would stay here again.
White glove service and what a view! Amazing experience with the property managers and high level of communication which made our stay much more easy. Would highly recommend staying here for family reunions or private events.
Stunning home with an equally stunning view and sunsets. The home had all of the basics (except seasonings, make sure you grab some at the store). Peaceful and private location, with stair access to the water. The outdoor space is perfect for time with friends and family! We truly enjoyed our stay!!
Th me house and grounds were perfect for my family. We each had our privacy in the rooms when we wanted it and family time-breakfast, cook out, tv time and pool time- was just what we needed and the house helped make each of our experiences unforgettable! We will be back. The host was absolutely responsive, gracious, and kind. She even shared some island spots to seek out. Awesome time!
Our time at his house was great. This house is perfect for large family's/groups. We were a group of 14 and had enough space and beds for everyone. The infinity pool and the view was beautiful. Best vacation ever. We stayed two weeks and felt at home. Hopefully we can do it again in the near future. Thank you!
This property is perfect for large family vacations. All 16 of us had the vacation of a lifetime. Every bedroom has its own bathroom! The house is sectioned off well for privacy when needed. There are 7 separate areas to sit outside! The snorkeling out back is as good as it gets. Thank you!
My wife Shannon and I have traveled all around the world, and understand the demands of high end travelers and we are sure that you will love our property. We are constantly making improvements to make it better. This is our second home and we are making it available on a limited basis per year. We hope to share it with you!
Aguadilla Puerto Rico is an island vacation dream location. The house is located approximately 20 minutes from the local airport where flights arrive daily from US cities such as Newark and Orlando/Ft. Lauderdale. The area includes an 18 hole golf course, snorkeling scuba diving, and surfing hot spots, tranquil seas perfect for paddle boarding, and plenty of great restaurants featuring both local and international cuisine. Aguadilla is only 30 minutes from Rincon and 20 minutes from Isabela, these three cities have the best surfing in the island. This house is designed for vacationers who want either plenty of activity or peace and quiet, it's entirely up to you! The infinity pool is a combination of a 30 foot pool that ranges between 3.5 feet to 6 feet deep and is perfect for early morning laps, please know the pool is not heated. Also part of the pool is a 10 foot by 8 foot sun shelf that is ideal for younger children who want to splash in the sun.
With six bedrooms, each including an en suite bathroom, exceptional closet space, and private balconies it would be easy to imagine this location for hosting a perfect wedding destination. The cliff side deck overlooking the ocean and facing the western setting sun is an ideal location for an afternoon ceremony followed by the perfect reception party. Please indicate if you are interested in information on the rates and availability for a wedding party.
