Great house in a great spot
We had the most amazing stay in Vieques. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay. Enjoyed relaxing days by the pool and cocktails on the little porch at night. The location was perfect for us as everything we drove to wasn't more than 7-20 minutes away. I cannot speak highly enough about this house and the caretaker who greeted us warmly when we arrived. We will absolutely be back to Vieques and staying at this wonderful home. Thank you so much!!

A dream property!
We just got home and I can't wait to go back. This property felt like home away from home. They really do provide all those little things you need so you can settle in quickly and start enjoying the island. Toilet paper? Check. Coffee filters? Check. Hand soap? Check. Laundry detergent? Check. Beach towels and chairs? Check! And not even worn, faded, threadbare towels like some properties provide, but nice bright, clean, fluffy towels! The property manager, Karen, was readily available to us. Friendly, but not obtrusive. Anything we needed to have done at the house, she was very considerate to arrange around what we had planned. We had an issue with the temperature of the hot water not being high enough and she had the plumber out to fix it before we even returned from the beach. We enjoyed coffee and pastries out on the balcony every morning and savored the island views. The gentle island breezes and roosters crowing off in the distance were such a sweet way to start the day. The air conditioning in each bedroom was primo once we figured out how to use it. The house's temperature overall was very comfortable and we only used the air conditioners at night when we slept.

Family time with our 3 young adult off spring. Beach and pool. Best of both worlds. Easy access to both towns on the island. Karen was delightful and flexible for check in. She texted a couple of times to make sure things were going well.

We were so, so happy to have stayed here. Mary the owner and Karen the local manger were amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was perfect as a home base for exploring the island. It was on a great property with beautiful views and so many thoughtful touches.

All the important things
The owners of this property must have rented in the past, as they had all the important things for a great stay. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen more than well stocked, air conditioners and fans were in good working order, but most important the had good beach chairs, coolers, towels, floaties, and even a sun shade. The only negative I can find is the pool deck is in need of a good power wash as it gets slippery in the dirty areas. The greeters checked in with us often and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. We would definitely stay again. There is a car rental that is next door and they do start work early, but we are early risers so it was not an issue for us.

Great place to stay in Vieques!
I stayed here for two weeks and found that the house had everything that we needed. A fully stocked kitchen, linens, beach chairs, beach towels, washer/dryer, hairdryers, etc. Just pack your clothes and toiletries....nothing else needed. The house is clean and tidy, and it was a pleasure staying there. Just what we needed to unwind while on vacation. The property manager, Jolene, was quick to respond to the few questions. that arose during our stay. (And, she bakes delicious bread that you must try!). The house is in a great location and is 15 minutes or less to either Isabella II or Esperanza. I was a little concerned about the location when I found out that it is on a main road. However, the house is set back from the road and we were not disturbed by any road noises and found it to be surprisingly quiet. A bit of activity at the car rental place in front, but not too noticeable. And, a big plus is that the early morning rooster noises are off in the distance.....and not close enough to wake one up at 3:00 am. When not out and about experiencing all Vieques has to offer, we spent most of our time on the balcony taking in the views and enjoying the breeze. I thought that we would hang out by the pool, but only did so once and otherwise opted for the balcony. FYI---the iguanas do like to visit the pool. I surprised one while he/she was taking a swim, but he/she quickly vacated the pool and scampered off. Very funny to watch! The property is completely fenced in, so the horses do not wander in and present any issues. The electric gate was a wonderful little feature. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and we would definitely stay here again in the future.

Good place to stay. Great views. Next to a busy road, though and in front of a car rental which makes some noise. But good overall.
