My husband and 18 year old son stayed for 10 days. We made ourselves at home. We enjoyed our stay and really explored everything we could on the Island..

Property does not disappoint. It’s a beautiful space overall. The 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are as advertised. Having a washer and dryer was super handy. There is a well appointed bookshelf with many diverse titles and a handful of games and puzzles. The spacious screened-in, wrap-around porch was a huge bonus. You can take in the views while dining Al fresco!! Just steps away is a secluded beach! Def a favorite. The setup is quite unique. There’s a surf break you can see in the photos. During the day it keeps the more powerful waves from the Atlantic Ocean at bay. However, at night, the high tide comes in and the surf break disappears leaving a stunning beautiful nighttime vista of the sprawling vast open sea. If you’re looking for a home to use as your island base of operations, do not hesitate to book this place. The location is best described as “out of the way”, but truly in the best sense of the term.

You definitely need a car to stay here. Jolene, the property manager was very helpful with that. Wish we had realized and booked much earlier.

Thank you! Great house, location and Jolene makes everything so easy!

This property is very close to the beach. I think the description indicates it’s 90 steps. I didn’t count them but that seems pretty accurate. Very easy access for swimming or just sitting on the beach, which we did quite a bit. Probably our favorite part of the house was to sit in the wraparound porch to watch and listen to the ocean. We took pretty much all of our meals there and spent time in both the morning and evening to just enjoy. The manager was very helpful and easy to reach and easy to talk to. We spoke to her prior to the trip, upon arrival, and during our visit. She was a wealth of knowledge. If you go to Vieques, do not miss the bio bay tour!

You couldn't ask for a better location. You can walk out the back to a beautiful beach that seems like your own private oasis. The screened in porch was great for breezes and listening to the surf. Everything was very clean, the beds are comfortable, and everything you need is there. Jolene, the manager, was thoughtful and very accessible. We didn't use the air conditioning in the big area, only at night in the bedrooms. The only improvement would be quieter AC for sleeping, but that doesn't outweigh all the good. I would definitely return. This is an incredible find!

Not only is the house steps from the beach, but it is basically the last house in the row before a giant national park. I could see at least a mile of beach at a time, and quite often I/we were the only ones in sight. The property manager was amazing; always responsive and very helpful with advice on local amenities. Vieques is quiet and laid back; there were no crowds of tourists, and the locals were very kind. The only negative: I would invite the owner to rethink the policy of spoon-feeding, well, spoons. We booked a party of six adults, but one came a little later. So we were issued five towels, five packets of laundry detergent, five plates, etc. and yes, five spoons. It turns out there are plenty of these things in a locked closet. Presumably this is to deter parties, but given how difficult it is to get friends to Vieques, it seems like overkill. Also a bit embarrassing for a group of mid-career professionals all over the age of 40.

The property sits on a some what rocky sand beach. The beach was quiet and mostly deserted. The currents in the water were very strong when we were there and it was difficult to snorkel. There was a rip tide warning. However- we enjoyed the solitude and location. The house was cozy and had most everything needed (although Tupperware or reusable food containers and a cheese grater for the kitchen, usb outlets or extension cords for the bedrooms would have been a great addition). The back 2 rooms don’t have AC and I imagine they can get sweltering in the summer months. Still pretty toasty when we arrived but we opened the windows wide at night & made sure to close them against the sun in the morning/day. The property manager was amazing and helpful. We appreciated the ground coffee and snacks left for us! You will definitely need a car. This property is located away from much of the tourist stuff/restaurants/tours. Thank you for a great stay in Vieques.

This place was dirty, I contacted the manager besides nothing looks like the pictures in the internet, there is a hazard where my sister in law felt having serious hematomas and injured her toes. We contacted the person in charge she came changed the bathroom curtains that were dirty and cleaned the fans that apparently were never clean before. She said she was going to do something about the rust tube that was the cause of the accident inside the property, we left and she never painted or mark it to avoid another accident. No wifi. Honestly, the place needs an intensive cleaning. We will never stay there again. I have pictures of everything in case you want to see it. My husband doesn’t believe in doing reviews, but I do. I want to avoid the same dissatisfaction we felt.

The home was right on the beach and had great bedroom and bath sizes. Upon arrival the ac units we paid for were not hooked up and the refrigerator didn’t work- the manager had bought 2 mini fridges (not large enough for 5 guests for a week). All and all the space was relaxing- kitchen and shared indoor space was small but plenty of porch space! Relaxing location, although far from some spots on the island.

The villa is at the very end of the road, on the border with the wildlife reserve. There are pros and cons to that. Pros: privacy, direct beach access, away from urban hassle and bustle, being on Route 200 (main street). Cons: no easy access to eateries, beach has a rocky reef, loud dogs (our kids loved them, though, and considered them our "vacation dogs" :)). The property is well equipped and tourist-friendly -- we thoroughly enjoyed having a washer and dryer, two separate bathrooms with showers, a microwave, plenty of bath and beach towels, multiple floor fans, and a built-in AC unit in one bedroom and in the kitchen/living room. We wished that all bedrooms had built-in AC units - it would make our stay even more enjoyable. The beds were comfortable, which was a big plus (not all vacation properties have come from beds :)).

This is our second stay, first was in 2019. The first stay was great so we thought it was a no brainer to book again. Unfortunately, not the case. The cupboards are rotting and drooping. The fridge/freezer quit midway through our week. We lost a bunch of food and the landlord made no effort to reimburse us. Instead brought in a mini fridge and was told that was “good enough”. The grass was so overgrown (12 inches+) my grand kids could not play in the yard. The beach chairs were rusted, rotten, and broken. The landlord has a 2 garbage bag per week rule. Doesn’t work with a family when you have to buy groceries. The landlord also has a rule on the amount of paper towel you use. There is only one hand/dish towel. The a/c that you have to pay for had a rip in the hose so it was blowing hot exhaust back into the room. CONS - house is run like a slumlord PROS - location is awesome for kids

We loved this location! Plenty of room with your own private entrance to the beach. A welcome basket with a few snacks was nice. The beach was where my kiddos swam and snorkeled forever. The area is like a pool and safe for the little ones. Communication with Jocelyn was great. She answered questions for us and helped us navigate our way on the island by recommending several taxis etc. The neighborhood was quiet. A golf cart or rental is advised since the location is a distance from the grocery store etc. You will not want to leave! I recommend staying here and I know we will be back.

We had a wonderful stay with our family. The view and beach were absolutely amazing! The house had plenty of room and was very nice. We loved spending time together and building memories. We are hoping to go back again someday. Thank you Jon for letting us stay at your beautiful home.

This place was awesome and the manager made the whole experience so much better.

Had a wonderful time at this property. We have stayed in Puerto Rico before several times, but never on Vieques. It was much quieter and laid back than the main island, which we thoroughly enjoyed! Sound of the waves at night and view during day was totally relaxing. Went several times to the swimming beaches which were amazing - sandy bottoms, clear and gentle water. If you are looking for quiet and relaxing downtime, can't go wrong here! House is laid out nicely for its size - 2nd bathroom if definitely a big plus. Air conditioning worked fine to keep things cool. The screened deck really makes it feel much bigger and is where we spent a lot of time doing puzzles, eating, etc.Couple final thoughts - we took the small planes to get to Vieques, which makes the task of getting there from main island quite quick. Haven't tried the ferry yet, but think I would always take the plane when possible - kind of fun! Also, we had trouble getting rental car because it was spring break and Holy Week. So make sure you get this taken care of well in advance. We got around where we wanted to go using local taxis and good old fashion walking. This was no fault of property owner, just bad planning on our part.

The location was amazing. The property was everything I would of expected. The rooms were large, the deck was great for afternoons and evening. Well lit. Felt secure.

Large screened porch facing the ocean exposed to continuous east wind. Beach has quiet area protected from surf for floating, open area for snorkeling or waves just down the beach. In August you get both Sunrise and Sunset from the beach in front of the house! We were there during the pandemic so no restaurants or public beaches were open. (half the beaches can't really be closed if you look around for where the locals park) The gas grill with side burner even made storm Isaias a breeze while the island was dark for a short while.

Great home on a beautiful beach. Perfect for beach lovers

This is our second stay at this property and we loved every second!

Vieques Beach House is wonderful! From the moment that we booked to the moment we checked out, we had excellent communication with Jon and Wendy. This lovely home is on a pristine beach on the North side of the island. The house has everything you need for lounging, playing on the beach, and doing cooking for a family. You will want to rent a car or golf cart to see all that Vieques has to offer. The people of the island are friendly and welcoming. It is incredible to hear of the resilience and sense of community that the families here have, following hurricanes and other challenges. Fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, and local cuisine are fabulous! Restaurants and grocery stores are plentiful. We particularly enjoyed El Blok, including their weekly Sunday rooftop party. Mamma Mia's and The Local are both great for dinner in town. Also be sure to visit the many food trucks on the island. Don't miss the Bioluminescent Bay! We went with Taino and had a wonderful experience in their completely clear kayaks, with local guides who are knowledgable about the flora and fauna of the area. Walking on the beach directly connected to this property is a daily adventure, finding seashells and splashing in the gentle waves along the way. We want to go back. Thank you, Jon and Wendy!!

Great location on the beach just outside town. Very comfortable house with large screened deck for perfect evenings. Enjoyed the house, the location, and the island!

This was perfect for our (2) teens, my 2 cousins and my husband and I. We fell in love with Vieques and the location of the house was wonderful! Close to town, plenty of room and a plus was having 2 bathrooms! Wendy was wonderful too assisting us in selecting beaches and restaurants. The best was having almost our own private beach just steps away. Right outside the fence a few feet and you could see the very best sunset and sit in shallow water cooling off. So clear, our boys loved it! The restaurants in the area had wonderful food and we visited 4 different beaches. Can't wait to return.

The house was comfortable and cozy. The rooms were clean and well furnished. The house has everything you need. The best thing for us was the beach in the backyard. We have 2 grandchildren 2yrs and 6mos and the beach behind the house was great for them because the reef is a natural barrier from the ocean. This creates a calm, clear swimming area that is perfect for little ones or to lounge in. The reef is also excellent for snorkeling. The beach is also very secluded so there aren't very many people on it at all which makes it great for walks.

Precious bungalow, located directly on the beach, in a quiet residential neighborhood, equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing Vieques vacation. Add a welcoming homeowner (Jon) and communicative property manager (Wendy) and you're guaranteed to have a great stay. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay here. House has everything you need and the location on a beautiful beach can’t be beat. Would recommend renting a Jeep to explore all the other beaches and sites on the island. The owner Jon and Wendy the property manager were extremely helpful in helping us plan the trip. Highly recommend!

Our family really loved our stay at Villa Borinquen. The caretaker was very helpful and accommodating. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. The beach out front was beautiful! Would definitely stay here again when visiting Vieques.

Our family of five had a wonderful time at Jon's amazing house. Vieques was fabulous to explore and the house was right on the beach. Jon and his on-site manager, Wendy, were quick to answer any questions we had. The house was clean and very comfortable - we were very impressed. Thanks again Jon and Wendy for helping to make our vacation a paradise! -Gail

Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, we could not have asked for a better vacation. The home is clean, well equipped and fantastically managed. We truly enjoyed every moment and hope to one day return.

My husband and I, along with our three grown children, recently stayed at this house for a quick spring vacation. The house was perfect for us and we enjoyed being so close to the beach. Wendy, the property manager, was very helpful and informative. We would definitely recommend this house and we would stay here again if we come back to Vieques!
