Our trip was amazing. Charles, the owner, offered to leave the car we rented from him at the ferry so from the moment we arrived, we started to settle into Vieques. The house is nestled in a neighborhood, in walking distance to a mini market and multiple waterfront restaurants, yet it offers complete privacy, breathtaking views and beautiful amenities. Every bedroom has an en suite and is perfectly appointed and air conditioned. It was like being in a private resort. We didn’t need to leave, but then we would have missed the many incredible beaches just minutes away. All of the beach gear you need is provided, as well as bath and pool towels. Charles is there to offer any recommendations you need, and is super responsive. The caretakers of the property come each day and quietly care of the fruit trees and herbs planted behind the house (our young and adult kids just loved checking out the plants and we even sampled a few fruits). We suggest booking the inexpensive ferry in advance online, and be aware that the ferries with cargo are just over an hour. The fast ferry is closer to 40 minutes. We booked Ray’s Taxi service ahead of our travels to get from San Juan to the ferry, and they were reasonable, communicative and timely. The bioluminescent bay tour was wonderful, and we actually walked to the meet up spot. We also enjoyed the quick ride and shady hike to black sand beach for a short morning activity. We cannot wait to visit in the future!
