Villa Encantada Estate Description
Something we'd like to share ~~ my Owners Response to a recent guest's 5 Star Guest Review of Sept, 2022 !...
Dear Courtney,
Your detailed 10 Star Guest Review is a VERY SPECIAL one for us at Villa Encantada. Your review is our 200TH 10 Star Guest Review. This is an Incredible Milestone to pass and I am humbled and fortunate to have been able to receive worldwide travelers over the last 24 years at Villa Encantada. This is a Milestone that VERY FEW vacation rental properties enjoy.
Myself, along our staff, take great pleasure in making Villa Encantada the best it can be. Having hosted tens of thousands of guests over a Quarter of a Century has been the privilege of a lifetime. WE are thankful for the opportunity of helping our guests forge lasting memories of the best vacation of their lives.

Summary: We had the best stay at Villa Encantada! Glenn was so wonderful from beginning to end. The house was perfect for our group of 8. We can’t even tell you our favorite part, it was all wonderful! Town is nice and close so it was very convenient to run for groceries and whatever else we needed. We had endless hours exploring and swimming! Not a thing to complain about. Just book this place you won’t regret it! If we could give it 10 stars we would!!
