About this house rental
LOCATION, PRIVACY, VIEWS!
Spectacular oceanfront location: Unobstructed Caribbean views that stretch far out to Culebra, the Virgin Islands and the silhouette of PR's El Yunque rainforest. Watch from one of the oceanfront decks or in the cliffside pool. This property is sited directly on La Chata beach with direct ocean access and almost total privacy! Our "front yard" coral reefs keep fish & party boats far away- and provide top notch snorkeling.
There is no other home like "Las Piedras" in all of Vieques (that's why it's such an instagram favorite) Newly refurbished with ample, modern spaces to entertain and relax both indoors and out, our fully gated location has rare beachfront privacy, a cliffside pool and comfort for up to 8 guests.
"Las Piedras" (The Rocks, in Spanish) is an architectural gem originally designed in the 1990's by a prominent magazine publisher and her artist husband. The home is cleverly anchored above and into La Chata's green volcanic rocks, protecting it from the extreme Caribbean weather. Las Piedras encompasses all of the splendor of Vieques in an unparalleled property: breathtaking ocean views from every angle, ample entertaining space, a cliffside pool, 4+ designated bedrooms with 3 full and 1 half baths with gated parking space adjacent to one of the best beaches on the island. "Playa La Chata" is something of an insider's secret: great for swimming, snorkeling, strolling as well as whale watching and sea turtle hatching when in season!
Note to summer renters: As with the majority of villas on Vieques, only the 4 main bedrooms are air-conditioned. The rest of the house is cooled by ceiling fans and the ample trade winds, but is not "hotel cold" if that is what you're used to.
Betty, our property manager, will coordinate with your party to hand off the keys, show you the ins and outs of the house and will be available for any on-site needs or issues. I’m also available any time for questions by phone or text. A welcome pack with plenty of helpful info and recommendations for getting to Vieques and what to do while you're here is sent immediately upon booking.

I love the concept of the house! It’s a magical place to stay and the island has many great places to explore! I would consider going again, but not in the summer. The listing could be more clear that there’s air-conditioning only in the bedrooms (wall units that cool things off to a point, but struggle to keep up with the heat). All of the shared living spaces do not have air conditioning, which might be fine in the winter and early spring, but it was pretty hot in June.

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The views from the house were incredible and tough to beat. The house was well equipped, clean, and as advertised in the photos. The managers were prompt, friendly, and helpful. The pool and quick access to the beach were also great features. Would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time and the views were spectacular. The sounds of the ocean were perfect and there was a beach right on the property. Would stay again for sure. Thank you everything was perfect!

The property was absolutely amazing! Just like advertised. Best snorkeling we had was right in front of the house!

The house is as beautiful as the pictures, fantastic location. We had a hard time leaving to explore the island, which has some other incredible beaches and places to eat, because the house was so relaxing. A perfect place to stay, full kitchen for cooking large meals and waking up to the ocean every morning, so many places to lounge and read a book. The best way to celebrate my 50th with friends, don’t hesitate, this is the place to stay!

We just returned from a wonderful stay here. Everything was clean and there were plenty of bath and beach towels to go around. On the calm wind days we snorkeled in La Chata (beach next to the house) - we saw sting rays and puffer fish!! Plus lots of other fish! The part of La Chata the house is located on is, in my opinion, the best part - you have a choice of calm waters or waves and the sand is soft and smooth. We didn’t use the pool much only because we were always in the ocean :).
The house itself is well equipped- we cooked and it had everything we needed. The ceiling fans in all the rooms cooled us nicely and the a/c in the bedrooms worked great. There was plenty of room to spread out and we played games from the cupboard.
Another plus is the beach gear available: snorkels, masks, flippers, noodles, boogy board, skiing life belt, and kick board. There are beach chairs- but a number are broken due to the salt water/rust.
The views from the house are amazing. It is a front row seat to the ocean and beach- and if the distance to the beach is of concern- this house is just a few steps.
This house worked great for our family: 3 kids ages 10-13 and my husband and me. I would not recommend this house to a group with young children or who may have someone in their group who struggles with stairs/balance- as there are a lot of stairs.
We really enjoyed this house and cannot wait for another visit back!!

This property was absolutely perfect for our group of 7. Plenty of room to stretch out and beautiful common areas to be together. The view off the decks/kitchen/ master bedroom was fantastic! Snorkeling right in front of the house was the best we saw on the island. The check in/out process was seamless. We will definitely book this house again next time we come to Veiques!

6 of us stayed for 8 days and we had a wonderful time!! Property managers Betty and Miles were simply outstanding !!! Immediate response for any questions we had. The home was great, but just a couple things to keep in mind. There is no air conditioning in the main rooms, only the bedrooms. Worked out fine for us because weather was not that hot, but something to keep in mind. There are no TVs but the internet connection was great! Definitely need a jeep for just about any beach you go to. Small dirt roads with very many huge potholes. We didn’t cook at all as the restaurants were fantastic. 2 coffee makers made it perfect for caffeine and decaf people. The inside does need a little updating, especially the windows and the screen doors. The pool was wonderful and refreshingly cool. Overall a fantastic time.

The house, amenities and location were perfect! Only issues were the cell service for the house and unable to communicate directly with property managers. Otherwise, completely incredible destination!

The house is very spacious and airy. The views from the top floor living and kitchen area are fantastic. On a clear day you can see Puerto Rico, Culebra, St Thomas and St John. We enjoyed the spacious pool and the beach below. We highly recommend this house for your next adventure!

We were a group of 8 adults (4 couples) and there was plenty of room for everyone. Betty, the property manager, was amazing and very helpful. The views and the location was incredible. We cooked meals here and even though it's not a private beach it sure feels like it. Most days we were the only ones on the beach. We felt safe and my most favorite part about the house, besides the view, the pool, and the beach, was the outside shower. We all used it everytime we showered. It is very strategically placed so that even though your outside in the shower no one can see you. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

The property is GORGEOUS and the communication from the owner and property management team was outstanding (Miles was great!) The sweeping ocean views will blow you away, but the care put into the home and experience prior to and through our stay will far exceed expectations of even the pickiest of travelers. We just returned from 7 lovely days in Vieques with our friends and cannot wait to visit again. The recommendations from Evelyn were thoughtful and accurate (we had a meal catered by Chef Beverly Davenport which was delicious.) You will not regret choosing Las Piedras for your Vieques vacation...book now!

I would not recommend staying here only because you may take up time that I want to be there. This house was awesome and combined with the location and view of the water made it outstanding. Some things to note:
* listen to Evelyn and download the Sonos app. She has a great playlist for environment.
* there were beach towels, umbrellas, and a few other supplies in the bottom floor in case you have to travel light.
* The grill is a nice Weber and worked well.
* The views from this house are amazing. I mean you can’t take a bad picture.
* We went to nearly every beach on the island and the snorkeling behind the house was the best.
My tip, open all the windows, turn on some music, enjoy the view. There’s no TVs in the house and no one ever complained about it. We had 2 12 year olds, a 15 year old, and 2 sets of parents too.
We are already planning on coming back.

The 8 of us had a wonderful time at "Las Piedras". The house was very comfortable with several areas to hang out: pool area, mid level patio, upper level deck. Spectacular views inside and out. Lots of beach supplies provided: chairs, umbrellas and coolers. Only word of caution is that you have trouble sleeping with the sound of the waves outside, you may want to bring ear plugs.
5.0
We were all impressed by the cleanliness and quiet - the sound didn’t travel because of 1) the sound of waves and 2) the solid construction. The whole family enjoyed Las Piedras. Betty, the manager, was very friendly and responsive to any questions or concerns.

Just like most of the other reviews the views and location of snorkeling was amazing!! We had a group of 10 adults and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Homeowner was super helpful then once we were in touch with the property manager, they were just as great! They answered any questions we had and gave lots of suggestions. One of our highlights were the iguanas that live on the rocks outside the house! They came and went every day. They were a pleasant surprise.

Book it!
We had a wonderful week at Las Piedras! We’ve stayed at some wonderful hotels and rental houses but we’ve never had a view quite like this! The house sits directly on the water and you feel as if you are on a boat in every room. There is a lovely beach just to the right where you can swim, snorkel and look for shells. The neighborhood is very quiet (even on NYE during our stay) and the little town of Isabel II is a short drive away. The house is impeccably clean and has everything you need - beach chairs, pool noodles, cooking implements, etc. - for a relaxing stay. The owner was extremely helpful to us in finding restaurants, booking a car rental and otherwise providing advice. We loved El Quenepo, El Blok, Buen Provecho, Rising Roost, Billi and Coqui Fire Cafe for meals, and we had a great fishing tour with Salty Spirit. Overall, our week was amazing, and Las Piedras was the start of it all. Don’t hesitate to book this house. I can’t imagine a nicer place to stay on a trip to Vieques!

Great location, great house. Beach is yours to enjoy everyday! House was clean, stocked and on island property management was a text away. Do it and don’t miss the bio bay! Most beautiful thing ever! Thanks Evelyn for renting out your beautiful house. We will be back!!!

The house was amazing. The ocean views were incredible and we could have spent the entire week sitting by the pool or on the patio. Although we tried to explore all the beaches on the island, our own beach area outside the house was great for snorkeling and taking walks to look for shells and sea glass. We loved everything about this place. The property manager and caretaker gave us excellent recommendations about what to do on the island, where to shop, eat, etc. Our vacation was like a dream. Highly recommend Vieques and the Las Piedras house!

Awesome house on the rocks
If you ever wanted to experience water crashing on the rocks directly beneath your feet, this is the place to rent. Owner and house support was super attentive. Location was exactly as described. Semi private beach was accessible and beautiful with stunning views from the home’s balconies. Spacious home that offers privacy to sneak away or share with multiple families. We’d definitely rent again.

Thanksgiving in Paradise
We were a group of 4 couples and booked Las Piedras for a Friendsgiving vacation. The accommodations were fantastic; the views breathtaking. The house has a unique history and was tastefully appointed (along with some classic vinyl records to go along with a relaxing beach vacation). The property manager was very accommodating, and offered to pick us up from the airport and shuttle us to the grocery store as our rental car was not ready until the next day. The owner was also extremely responsive and attentive to our needs. Easily one of the best places to stay on the island.

Beautiful location
We had a wonderful time. The house and pool and beach are exceptional. Vieques has so much to offer and the manual that describes the beaches and activities that Evelyn has put together is so helpful. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting a relaxing beach vacation.

Amazing Beachfront Vieques Villa!
We had a fantastic week at Las Piedras! Our two families (4 adults, 4 kids) had more than enough space to spread out, relax, and enjoy the beautiful ocean views. The house has all towels, beach chairs, and enough essentials in the kitchen to get you started. We cooked quite a few meals at home, and the kitchen is well equipped, along with a grill near the pool.
There was a north wind the week we stayed, so while we weren't able to snorkel in front of Las Piedras, we enjoyed exploring the beach, looking for sea glass and shells, and watching the Vieques horses that visit. The Bravos de Boston neighborhood is quiet and safe, and close to everything on the island-10 minutes to the supermercado, 20 minutes to Esperanza, and a quick 5 minutes into Isabel II. Evelyn has a great binder at the house with info on local restaurants beaches, restaurants, etc.
We took the ferry to Vieques and had no problems. Definitely rent a jeep while you are on the island, as most roads are pretty rough, especially if you want to visit any of the quieter beaches.
Evelyn was always quick to reply with any questions, as was the caretaker, Aurelio, who met us at our car rental and took us to the property. We arrived in Vieques right before Covid-19 really took hold; our ferry off the island was cancelled, and Evelyn was patient and flexible as we worked out our revised times to leave the house.
Vieques is an amazing place, and Las Piedras was the perfect home to experience it!!

Breathtaking Views!
We've stayed in several houses on this side of Vieques over the last 20 years this house is special for it's location, architectural design, and size. It's RIGHT ON the ocean with a semi private beach that has excellent snorkeling or is great for "beaching it" and watching the incredible waves usually accompanied with surfers!
Pro's: Big, well furnished, INCREDIBLE PANORAMIC views, and has the "cool" factor. Location couldn't be much better and it's private (a distant neighbor or two you wont see). Very nice kitchen and amenities (AC in most rooms), beautiful vaulted ceiling in the main living area, huge deck upstairs, and a nice pool which is smallish but literally overlooks the ocean. Very easy to blow off the other beaches in Vieques for a day at the house because it has so much to offer!
Con's: Not much here. Keep in mind when you are this close to to ocean things get beat up by the salt air but they do a nice job keeping up with things considering. Probably not a place for younger kids with raised beds in some rooms, decks with open railings, and no TV (we used Sling and a Laptop btw so no biggie). Anyone who has trouble with stairs will not do well here...stairs are the price of having this much size, layout, and views!
In short if you have a big crew, no toddlers, and love the ocean this is one of your best bets on this side of the island! We loved it!
