We were celebrating my daughter 50 th birthday. Kinda hard to cook a cake without a oven. The house needs tons of update’s. Paint peeling everywhere. Not a safe place for kids. We paid a lot for what we got. The view was super. I won’t do Vrbo ever again. This is the second time I’ve been burned Never again.

The views from the property were outstanding and made for relaxing evenings sitting outside talking with friends. Sambath was responsive to our needs. The oven was not working during our stay but we easily made do and planned our menu using the outdoor grill and toaster oven. Fresh eggs in the morning were a huge hit with our group! We did not realize there was no a/c in the bedrooms but it was not needed. Sambath has a sufficient number of fans available, combined with opening windows it was beautiful. The location was great for all of our activities. I recommend using the instructions that are sent to you to find the house as GPS may mislead you. My only recommendation would be to include what to do with bed linens upon checkout (very minor!). We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location and amazing tropical garden atmosphere. It really feels like you have a lot of space to yourselves. The view is worth the drive up the mountain which only takes 15 minutes. Good base for exploring the northeast corner of the island. Playa Pinones is one of our favorite beaches anywhere!
Owner is very friendly and helpful.

Villa Serena is absolutely wonderful. The location at the base of El Yunque is stunning. We liked the ease of access to San Juan, Luquillo, and Fajardo without having to stay in the more touristy areas. We had the beauty and peace of the countryside but were just a short drive from the places we wanted to visit and traveling to get to those places meant beautiful drives through the rain forest. Sam was a gracious host, meeting us at the property to show us around and give us tips. My kids enjoyed picking our own fruit and making sugar cane juice. The pool is an added bonus. The house had everything you need - we actually over packed because we assumed like most vacation rentals that we would need to bring a lot from home but Villa Serena has your needs well in hand. Book this house!

Sam has a little slice of paradise in his backyard. He’s walked us through the house and grounds while telling us the history of the home. The bed in the master bedroom is super comfy and the views are absolutely gorgeous!
The home is very clean and as pictured. The set up of the home takes a little getting use to but my hubs and I loved every bit of it,. I loved our daily visit from a friendly neighborhood dog.
I wouldn’t recommend this place for toddlers as the pool and studio deck are not fenced in but independent children should be fine.
I cannot wait to stay here again!
Thank you Sam!!

Loved out stay here!
We loved this beautiful house and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The photos on Vrbo don’t do justice to the beauty and serenity of this villa and its surroundings! We particularly loved the gorgeous garden, the fabulous kitchen equipped with every pot or pan we needed for cooking and the pool! Sam was kind and responsive to every little request or issue we had. Totally recommend!

This home was amazing! Peaceful, beautiful and a spectacular view. You could see all the way to the ocean. I awoke every morning to a gorgeous view and at night the birds and tree frogs sang me to sleep. Sam, the owner was awesome, so helpful and friendly. When we arrived he took the time to take us through his AMAZING tropical garden. Believe it or not, the garden is even more amazing in the rain. There is a lovely outdoor cooking station to use. The house is beautiful. We rented the entire house for 2 families. It was perfect. We are already planning a time to come back!

Beautiful house and pool, amazing gardens.
Villa Serena provided the perfect setting for a relaxing get-away. The house and pool are every bit as lovely as the pictures, and the gardens are truly gorgeous. I'm going to miss waking up every morning and picking starfruit and passion fruit for breakfast. I highly recommend this rental if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place to enjoy your time away.

My family and I enjoyed a very nice weekend while relaxing in the pool, walking the grounds and grilling some food to compliment the view. The nights were at a perfect 70 degrees so no need for AC and the place is super quiet.

Our stay at Villa Serena was wonderful! The gardens and view of the mountains and rainforest were breathtaking. Went to bed at night to the songs of the coquis. The locals were so friendly. We visited El Yunque and Old San Juan, soaked up the sun and relaxed in this very beautiful slice of the island. Sam was so easy to talk to and you can tell he takes great pride in his home and gardens. Papalote walked us through the gardens and gave us a little lesson on the plants and fruits that grow there. So happy we found this home to stay in. Thank you Sam!! If we make it back to PR one day, this is where we will be. Absolutely beautiful!!

Enchanting!
This home is exactly as advertised. What a gem! The view from any part of the property is exceptional. The house is well maintained, the kitchen is well supplied with everything you need if you decide to cook in. The gardens are lush and so beautiful, even has purple orchids growing there. Many fruit trees, the star fruit tree was bearing fruit like crazy. Went to bed with the song of the coquis. We went to Old San Juan and El Yunque Rainforest, hiked to the waterfall there. We went with another couple who chose to stay in the apartment below us to sleep which gave us all privacy. We spent the days and evenings together just basking in the sun and admiring the beauty around us. Sam texted a couple of times to make sure all was well. Papalote walked us around the gardens and explained many plants to us. The roads to the main highway are a bit hairy, winding and a few hairpin curves, but that just adds to the charm coming down off the mountain! The only thing I would suggest is a solar cover for the pool. It was 66 degrees F when we were there. We did take a dip to cool off but not for long! The temps were in the low to mid 80's during the day and low 70's at night. All in all, a beautiful home surrounded by even more beauty of lush gardens, mountains, rainforest and even the beach off in the distance. Such a charming home. We had a wonderful, memorable time there. Thank you Sam and Manon for sharing your home with us.

Top notch!
We just returned from 6 days at "Villa Serena" and had exactly the experience we were looking for. Sam and Manon's lovely home sits on the hillside in a private slice of the jungle in a quiet neighborhood with an amazing view all the way to the Sea! The home is very comfortable, spacious and equipped with everything you need in order to live like you live there. We cooked our evening meals either in the well appointed kitchen or on the new Grill. We lounged poolside daily with either our pina coladas or cafe con leche's, and throughly enjoyed exploring the beautiful gardens surrounding the home, noticing something new every time! The location is great for touring the entire area. From Villa Serena we were able to take in El Yunque rain forest, Luquillo Beach, San Juan, Fajardo, all of the Rio Grande, Palmer and surrounding areas and even traveled over to Ponce for a day. Sam and "Papalote" were very gracious to check in on us just in case we had a need that wasn't already being satisfied!
Just typing this makes me miss listening to the tropical breezes blowing through the palm trees and the Coqui Frogs as we drifted peacefully off to sleep!
Yes, we will return.

Beautiful place!
Great place! Sam was extremely helpful in getting us to the house which would be difficult to find on your own. The house is beautifully decorated and the grounds around the house were wonderful. Papalote did a great job of explaining all of the plants to us and the kids enjoyed trying all of the fruits that grow in the gardens. He added a personal touch to the stay that the kids will always remember. We were there in April and my husband was concerned about no AC but it was not even an issue. It's safe to have the windows open and let the breeze blow through. I slept soundly listening to the Coquis but my husband had to put earplugs in! The house is in a residential area and when we went local bakeries and grocery stores the people couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming. I had read the other reviews stating that the main bathroom had no door so was prepared but it wasn't an ideal situation for 2 teenage girls. Sam really might want to consider a way to offer some privacy in the shower room. Overall, the place was great and I would highly recommend it!

HEAVENLY WINTER RESPITE
two words LOVED IT. Beautiful house, amazing views of the ocean and El Yunque and THE GARDEN!!! outstanding. Picked bananas for breakfast, loved the soothing sounds of the coqui as we checked on the weather forecast at home (snow snow and more snow).
One of my destinations in San Juan was the Jardin Botanico at the U of PR, to their orchid garden. Sadly there were none but do you know where I saw THREE DIFFERENT types of orchids blooming? At Villa Sirena! Papalote was a wonderful caretaker, showing us around the grounds and describing the plants, and Sam was VERY accessible and a great host.
The house and pool are IMMACULATE but the garden really takes this place to a whole other level.
So in love with this property. We'll be back!

Exceptional house and grounds
This is a spectacular property, accurately shown in the photos. We would not hesitate to recommend or return. A clearer listing would help, however. At the time we visited, owner Sam did not include check-in and check-out times on homeaway.com; they turned out to be 4pm and 11am, respectively, but we didn't know either in advance. Also unclear is that the property is actually 2 units, upper and lower, with separate entrances. The listing says that the property sleeps 8, which is true if you rent both upstairs and down, but there is no living or dining area on either level that seats 8. So just be aware. That said, we were enchanted with the beautifully planted 1-acre grounds, the immaculate pool and the views, and even fed Sam's fish while we were there. This is a truly special property whose owners clearly love it and are doing their very best to make it a welcoming vacation rental.

As advertised
This home was exactly as advertised. It was our first VRBO and non all inclusive vacation, and we were pleased. Home is very clean and has everything you may need for any of your adventures. Pool was clean, and grounds were amazing. Sam, the owner was very helpful and caring. The location is 15 minutes from any major roads, but that proves to be more of an advantage then disadvantage. Only two minor issues we had were getting the keys acquired the first night, which was resolved within a half hour, and that there were no doors between bedrooms in the main house, which is a problem if you are a couple traveling with kids or family if you are wanting any privacy. Would rent from VRBO and Sam again.

Rooftop Hideaway
What a great spot!!!! Sam was incredibly hospitable welcoming us at a such late hour of the evening and offering for us to use anything in his Kitchen to make a meal.
The place was incredibly clean and equipped with all you could possibly need. It had an astonishing view and the pool was an added bonus!
A great river pool and small hike close by - just beautiful!
Thanks for a wonderful stay and will be sure to be back again.
Thank you,
Kate
