“Jungle living in a modern loft” I stayed in loft 2 for 3 nights of my honeymoon and it was awesome. The 150" Hdtv only has 1 channel, the ocean channel (ok so it's really a massive open window with amazing views of the atlantic). It was amazing to feel the breeze blow through and if it rains at night, it's like being in the heart of the jungle, except you don't get wet. The rooftop terrace was wonderful and being able to see both the atlantic to the north and Caribbean sea to the south was great. This place is for people who love nature and the out doors but also like some modern conveniences and amazing views. We ate at alex's new restaurant at Hector's by the sea (open for dinner on Sunday and Monday) and were blown away. The setting was incredible, but the food was even better. If you get the chance, take it.

“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!

“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!

“A Great Escape! Private, with Views to Die for!” I want to add my chorus to all the positive comments. Bonita Vista received a coveted "5" from me (I don't give many) mainly because of the pool bar area. The view was gorgeous, it was a very private area, and we enjoyed the ability to eat outside at the bar, or just lounge on the comfy chairs. Soooo relaxing! Everything about the stay was positive. The cassita was more than adequate (although a microwave would have been nice). The bed was perfect and we slept like logs. Hot water immediately in the shower - wow, THAT was a welcome surprise - and the a/c worked great. The wifi was frustratingly come and go so if you depend on it for work or staying connected - this probably is not a good place for you. For us, it was absolutely fine as it appeared just often enough to respond to critical emails and to post my Facebook pictures. AND we were also able to stream our Netflix shows 2/6 nights. ;-) Barbara and Kris were great hosts, friendly and with good tips for island life. The location is great - very near both towns and NWF with its gorgeous beaches. I highly recommend this cottage. I would return in a minute!

“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 :)

“Beautiful” Waldo and Ileana's BIRDS NEST is GREAT! We stayed at the nest during our Spring vacation and hope to return to it next year. My family loves staying at the nest because it has everything a family needs and more... With its excellent owners, excellent location, housing and amenities , we always know we will all have a great time on our favorite island. We have stayed at the Birds Nest over the many years, and are grateful to know that this little island paradise is available to rent by the great owners Ileana and Waldo. I highly recommend the Birds Nest to anyone that wants to have peace of mind knowing that they can be in a lovely, cozy place while enjoying the beautiful bounty that Vieques and its people offer. LOVE IT!

“Amazing!” check in was a breeze. The house was very nice and the views were amazing! The location of the house was perfect...5 minutes from Isabelle, 10 mins from Esperenza, 15 minutes from the airport. One of the best vacations! We love Vieques and hope to return within the next couple months.

“Great place to stay on a great Island” Waldo and Illeana are the best hosts. The apartments are property are perfect for a family vacation. The kids loved it and there is room for the parents to relax. Easy access to both sides of the island make it very convenient. We will be back.

“What a Treasure” This rental is truly a treasure. If you like wild animals,dogs, roaring waves and horses, this is the place for you! It is a home away from home, the side porch has the most wonderful breezes and sights. The wild horses graze next to the land. There are two colts, fairly young that frolic with each other.(so cute!!) The house has everything you need, just bring your bathing suit and toothbrush. I'm looking forward to my trip back next year. Thank you Gloria
