“Everything we hoped it would be...” This first floor two bedroom apartment was great and just what we'd hoped it would be for two parents and a teen. It is in great shape and truly felt like a home and not a rental unit. In a safe neighborhood 0.8 miles from Isabelle 2, it is a quick drive or easy walk into town. Isabelle 2 is far more preferable to Esparanza in my mind as it is the main town where there are restaurants, a bank, shops and markets and of course the local people who we found to be warm and helpful. The unit has access to a wonderful private patio/garden beside a patch of banana tress and is surrounded by a privacy wall which allows glimpses of the ocean beyond. We enjoyed sitting there after exploring the island or a day at the beach. Being on a bit of a hill in the Bravo de Boston area allows for great sun and pleasant breezes which we reveled in. There was a place for our rented jeep as well. So of course everyone has concerns about the roosters crowing day and night as did we. Not many want to have roosters directly outside the window. Happily this location did not have "proximate" roosters. Yes, you can hear them, but they are at a distance and I must say we liked having the sounds of distant crowing as part of the Vieques experience. The unit has aC, but it was definitely not needed at this time of the year. The ceiling fans were perfect for our needs. Keeping the screen doors closed will keep out evening/early morning mosquitos which are another part of Vieques life. We were really happy to have the use of portable beach chairs and a beach umbrella provided by the Owner. A nice touch I thought. The owner was very pleasant and provided us with great tips on getting from PR to Vieques. She also gave us great information about the island once we arrived regarding the ins and outs of island life and was able to drop us off at the car rental place when we arrived, and at the ferry when we reluctantly started our return trip. We plan on returning and staying again!

“This beach house was perfect for us.” The house manager Joey was very efficient and helpful. The owners are very nice.The house had everything one would need to enjoy VIEQUES. I think the owners and the house manager communicate well and probably have discussed in detail what is all necessary for the house to be perfect for people vacationing on the island. Everything that has been said in a positive way about this property is true. One morning at the suggestion of one of the locals we waited by the small pier (which is directly in front of the house) for fishermen to unload their catch and bought lobster horseshoe crab and fish at a reasonable price and then cooked up a seafood feast for two meals .

“Delightful Villa” The Caribbean Overlook house in Vieques is very charming and spacious. The views are wonderful! The front porch looks right over the bay and has beautiful flowering trees. The house is in a perfect location to feel the constant breeze. Wild horses roam the property as they do the entire island. Many beautiful species of birds can be seen. The villa is in a great location to access either of the nearby towns (by car) or to bike to the beach. This home has everything one needs to spend a week or more including beach towels, beach toys, and washer and dryer. The owner is very responsive to queries and is most accommodating. We can’t wait to return!

“PuraVida” My Wife and I honeymooned to PuraVida. Our stay was wonderful! Everything that we possibly could have needed was supplied for Us. From towels to beach chairs to coolers, we were very impressed. We went To Vieques with the plan of relaxing and being beach bums. The Island and the home completely allowed us to do so. We visited different beaches everyday, all in very close proximity to PuraVida. Convenient location to the malecon allowed us to walk to dinner and drinks everynight without worry of driving or not feeling safe. PuraVida was clean and well kept, the caretakers did a good job of making us feel at home and answering any questions that we had. My wife and I will definitely be returning to PuraVida with the plan of doing the exact same thing(relaxing) I would highly recommend PuraVida to anyone looking to do the same! The BioBay trip was something that everyone must truly experience, words can't describe what it's like. The fact that Jeff and Michelle provide your stay with the option of a vehicle is what made this trip special...we were able to get around the island at our own leisure. An SUV is a must on the island for some of the beaches roads were quite rough and washed out. The people of Vieques were all very friendly and we didn't have any bad experiences with anyone while we were there. We went out for dinner everynight and went to Duffys more then once! All in all we were happy with dinners at all places we went, thanks to Joe and Mimi the caretakers. They gave us very good direction and recommendations to good times! We will be returning for anniversary trips and can't wait to take our children and family to see what the Island has to experience. Thanks Jeff and Michelle, I have told many people about our stay, and directed them to your very well organized website!!!

“An excellent get-a-way!” This house is absolutely beautiful! It has everything you could possibly need, or didn't even think to bring! Spacious, clean, safe and not to mention the gorgeous views, day or night!

“Awesome!!!” The house was set up with not only a beachy vacation type house, but also rings with hominess!! My family was comfortable in a matter of minutes and that is not easy with teenagers and little ones alike. The size was also very good for the 5 of us and we each had our own space especially with the back patio, which was my favorite space. Just like a tropical garden in the resort, but we had it all to ourselves and cooked a couple of amazing dinners outside with some local fish and grocery finds. Definitely check out the fresh fruit stand and the fish market. Listen to Michelle--she is a wealth of information, you just have to keep up with her pace or write a lot down on paper.

“The perfect vacation!” We really enjoyed our stay at Quinta, and once again, on Vieques. The house was comfortable and the yard/pool awesome! We mainly wanted to let you know that Tsepo was such an asset to our stay. He helped us every day with something, some times multiple things. It really made us feel more at home knowing Tsepo was there. We appreciated getting our damage deposit on the last day, too. If we ever plan another trip to Vieques, we will definitely try to stay at Quinta. Our car rental from Coqui was easy and the cars in good condition. One change we might make if we visit again is to fly from San Juan. The ferry was fun the first couple times and when you could sit on the deck and enjoy the spray and the view. Now, not so much, and there's the hassle of getting to and from the airport. Actually, that wasn't exactly a hassle b/c angel Gonzalez and family drove us and they are great. We had a wonderful time. The house was a fun place to stay , and the kids loved the pool and all the different decks!! The ricks are very helpful and cooperative as well. Carefree vacation!

“Sea Patch House in Vieques, puerto Rico” House, pool, and property were excellent, beautifully furnished and maintained. Beach chairs and beach towels were provided, as well as some snorkeling equipment. Providing starter soap and toilet paper and a few condiments(salt & pepper, etc), plentiful kitchen utensils made cooking our own meals easy. Bravos Boyz, the rental agency, was exceptionally responsive whenever we made an inquiry about anything. We loved working with Laura and Dave.

“Awesome ocean view!” My husband and I absolutely loved the cottage. It is perfect for two people. It filled our needs and then some. It has all the necesary amenities and there is a separate laundry area in the back of the cottage. The bedroom is roomy and has air conditioning. The living areas do not have air conditioning however, when you open up the windows and front door the cross breeze provides a nice relief from the heat. But make sure to close up in the evenings or the Mosquitos will get you. The only negative is the bumpy road condition up to the property. We enjoyed our stay there very much and would definitely do so again in the future. PS: the crew at Bravo Boyz were wonderful!

“Fabulous home away from home!” We really enjoyed staying at Casita Rosita! The house is decorated in an artistic and comfortable way that was very warm and welcoming. They had everything we needed for the beach: a cooler, towels, beach chairs, an umbrella, stuff for snorkeling. There are ceiling fans in every room of the house and the air conditioning keeps the whole house cool. We could easily walk to the main center of Esperanza, where there are restaurants and bars overlooking the water. There is a small market and bakery just down the street from the house, which was great for grabbing snacks and drinks on the way to the beach. I found it really easy to contact Rosie, the owner of the house and she was very nice to work with. I've already recommended the house to other friends from San Diego who love to visit Vieques and I would definitely stay here again!

“Amazing Holiday!” Our family of four adults spent the week of Thanksgiving at Casa Tucepi. The house sits on a secluded hillside lot with several incredible views overlooking the Carribean Ocean. The kitchen and family room are the central part of the house making it a perfect place for the family to be together when they aren't outside enjoying the pool, view or out dinning table. Linda, our property manager was always available to help us even with some special needs on the Thanksgiving holiday. We had never rented a vacation home before so it was scary handing over a big check before the vacation started but it was fine. Bill Notman is incredibly helpful, fair and honest in every way. On days we weren't at the house, we hired a guide from the "W" Hotel to take us bicycling, kayaking and snorkeling. We found great restaurants for both lunch and dinner and cooked several meals at the house including Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone in our family agrees that Casa Tucepi is a special place and we hope to return again.

“Good location” This Orchid Lane house was a stone's throw away from the Caribbean. We often got up early and walked to the Malecon with our cup of coffee to watch the sunrise from the dock. The bed was the most comfortable I have experieinced in a rental situation. The kitchen has very little counter space so it is difficult to do your own cooking. The yard was pleasant with lots of plant life, it made you feel private from the street. Lots of roosters crowing at all hours of the night and day and town sounds but this is to be expected if you stay in town. All in all this was a good fit for us.

“Love this place - great value, very clean, lovely owners/manager” We stayed in the casita with our 2.5-year-old and had a great visit. My only (and I mean only) complaint about the place is that the bathroom door doesn't leave much in the way of privacy (it's the vented slats). Otherwise, beds were comfortable, it was very clean, the appliances were great, and the place was very safe.

“I'm biased! I liked it!!” I've been to Vieques 4 years in a row. this was our 3rd time at Casa Ladera. The place we stayed at last year was a little more expensive, but not as nice in a number of ways. Casa Ladera is in a nice neighborhood close to Isabella Segunda, the only real Pueblo in Vieques. It's clean and offers a number of amenities[see listing]. The view of Isabella Segunda and the ocean is beautiful from the upstairs apartment .The yard [New Englander]or property is beautiful. To pool really is 20' x 40' and nicely kept with a night light[in the pool!] as well as plenty of outside lighting for night time swimming and night time enjoyment.In the morning head to the beaches on the South side of the Island.[Blue beach and Plata are favorites]Explore the south side and find your own!!! After a hard day in the sun have a beer or two or three or maybe a shot of Barrilitos rum at "Duffy's" restaurant [excellent food and a wide variety of beers and a spectacular view of the Caribbean [see it for yourself]. There are other restaurants as well. You can always head back to Casa Ladera and grill outside or cook inside if you like.If you stay here it will be hard not to enjoy yourself!!! and if you have any concerns, Renee[property manager]is readily available.

“Perfect Vintage Puerto Rican Home !!!” Amarilla Casita was a perfect choice for our vacation to Vieques. The property is lush and spectacular and the house itself is very comfortable. I really enjoyed the feeling of indoor/outdoor living due to the huge front porch and the hammocks, bbq grill and breakfast table (all outdoors). The property sits at the top of the hill and has great views of the mountains and the sea. There's a very convenient bodega just down the hill (5 minute walk) at Mambos. The property felt very safe and was clean and tidy when we arrived. Camarilla Casita is a perfect choice for those brave sould that enjoy living like the locals and like it rough around the edges. The outdoor shower was great as was having laundry services on site. I will def be staying here again on my next trip to Vieques and the price cannot be beat. Buen aprovecho :)

“Unforgettable Trip in Paradise” My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better stay in Vieques. Both the house and the island were amazing! The house was fantastic! It is located right in the heart of everything; dining, shopping, and world class beaches. We absolutely loved the tropical outdoor shower. The house looked like it was decorated by a professional. You can tell that the owners take great pride in the house and it shows. The island is one of the most beautiful places in the world. We walked on the beach for two miles and didn't see one person but amazingly enough saw five wild horses running together on the beach. We have been to beachs all over the world but have never seen anything quite like this. We came on the trip with no expectations but can honestly we had the trip of a lifetime!
