Welcome to Mandala Vacation House
A place to rejuvenate, relax, and reconnect.
Mandala Vacation House is a peaceful three-bedroom vacation rental in Río Grande, Puerto Rico. Nestled on a cozy mountainside, with Río Espíritu Santo within walking distance, the home offers breathtaking views and space to rest, reconnect, and spend time with the people you love.
The open living, dining, and kitchen space creates a loving, cozy environment. Doors open onto a wraparound deck, letting nature’s fresh breeze flow through the home. Enjoy your morning coffee with a mountain view, settle into one of the hammocks, and leave a little room in the day to simply be.
Mandala often hosts yoga retreats and like-minded groups looking for peace, connection, and time to unwind. Whether you’re sharing a quiet getaway or planning a retreat stay, the mountain setting invites a slower rhythm. Talk with our team about your retreat plans before booking so we can help you decide whether the home is the right fit.
With three bedrooms, one full bathroom, and room for up to 12 guests, the house offers an opportunity to recharge in the magical setting of Puerto Rico. A fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning in every bedroom, and plenty of private parking help make the stay comfortable.
We take great pride in delivering top-notch service and creating a home away from home. We’ll meet you on arrival, show you around, and answer your questions. After booking, a member of our team will be in touch with a location pin and clear arrival instructions. You are in great hands.

A little planning makes arrival easier
Mandala sits in the mountains and is reached by a paved, winding road. Some sections can be challenging to navigate, especially after dark or if you’re unfamiliar with mountain driving. We recommend arriving in daylight when possible and picking up groceries before heading up. Our team will send clear directions after booking and welcome you in person.

“A true hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, Vicent made us feel right at home with a thoughtful welcome gift for my family and me. The property itself is absolute perfection—offering spectacular mountain views, a peaceful ambiance, and all the essentials you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We loved spending time on the spacious balcony enjoying the incredible views, gathering around the fire pit, and exploring the nearby river. On top of that, Vicent’s communication was excellent and seamless throughout our trip. If you are seeking peace and tranquility, I cannot recommend this place enough!”

“Meeting Vincent and staying at his Airbnb was one of the most incredible and amazing experiences my family and I could have had. The house is a HOME. It is a private, beautiful area. Sunny days, cloudy and even rainy days are incredible. Close to everything. Fun to get to. The host is so considerate, beyond helpful, understanding of any situation, and is a GREAT communicator. He won’t ever leave you hanging or confused. He works out everything to ensure you’re comfortable and well cared for. Will be staying again, and will be venturing into other properties he has. Do not hesitate to book this home!! Rooms have a/c’s, great space. Worth every penny. I recommend this home anytime, every time. Give yourself and your family a unique experience!!!”

“This was our favorite part of our stay in Puerto Rico. remote location, but not too far if wanting to do activities in the area. every detail was thought of inside and out! The view was absolutely magnificent, we could have stayed forever. we waited until 1 minute before check out to leave this gorgeous place. I wish I could say enough about how amazing the stay was- but it was beyond anything we could have hoped for in our stay. the team was also so friendly, accommodating and very responsive with anything that we had questions about!”

“The home is exactly as described. I was there with my family from New England to bring my late father back to his hometown. We were a big group and felt at home in the space. No trip is ever perfect but any bumps we hit, Vincent was very responsive, and fixed everything right away. The view alone is worth another visit, although my mom was not a fan of the mountain roads. Everyone else enjoyed it and it was wonderful watching my kids let loose and enjoy the symphony of the coquis at night. Very memorable for many reasons. Thank you for providing a great place to land in the country I love! You are surrounded by nature so be mindful of fire ants and centipedes, friends!”

“This trip has been a great blessing for each of our lives and I know that God brought us to the place indicated by Him. We had a very nice time, we loved the house and the best part was the attention, thank you Vicent and Yolanda for all the attention they gave us, we felt comfortable as if it were our home, I have no words to describe all their kindness. The house is suitable to have that peace that you need, complying with the rules of laughing until our stomach hurts, we enjoy every moment to the fullest and the best thing is we leave with many memories in our hearts Thank you and you are the best. They also helped us on our checkout date when a minor inconvenience occurred. Great hosts!”

“We had a great time, the home was beautiful, spacious, and clean. We had everything that we needed and if we needed anything the host was responsive and timely. The only issue we came across was we ran out of water but the host was responsive and it was no fault of his own. They even came by to check the water issue and found out there was a municipal issue. They checked on us before and during our stay. I definitely recommend booking with them. We will be back and we will stick with this air bnb in the future!”

“This trip was absolutely beautiful! From the beautiful home filled with everything you may need in your stay to an amazing host!! Though the house may seem deep in the rain-forest, there were beautiful memories made in the backyard. The rainy swim in the “Rio de Espiritu Santo” to the Cliff jumps further down in the “Cascada de Espiritu Santo! Do not be afraid to try the amazing food by the locals at the entrance of the main Road! And although this house has everything everything, make your way to the Lechoneras en Guavate! This family of 7 will have memories to look back at and forever. Cherish this experience in the Isla de Encanto. ♡ XOXO My favorite part about this about me going trip was to Puerto Rico, river near the house, seeing different animals and dogs. So I love the entire trip and thank you for letting us borrow this I house and this house was the Best! ХОХО As you may be able to tell by my daughter’s “small” sentence this trip was amazing! Our hosts, Vincent and Yolanda Were AMAZING!! The house, though very deep in the forest had so much to offer and the location did not mean there was “less” to do. We made beautiful memories in the backyard when we swam in the “Rio de Espiritu Santo’, in the Rain! We loved it!”
