Everything about our stay was perfect. The home was spotless, and the property was private and beautiful! We will definitely try to return someday!

Kate’s Casita is special, beautifully decorated and well appointed. She attends to every detail.

Casita Granada has all details of a high-end designer interior while maintaining the cozy feel of home. Our hosts were attentive to every request. The property is a very sophisticated garden site with many prized flowering plants and fruit trees. We feel fortunate to have had the chance to stay at Granada!

I've stayed at VRBOs around the world, and this one ranks in my top three. It's wonderful, and so is the host, Kate. This was our first time visiting Vieques Island and it's a trip we put together in only two days, as we were pivoting from a long-arranged trip to Mexico that no longer was feasible. Kate was so helpful as I tried to quickly find an affordable flight to the island (Vieques Air Link) and a rental car (Maritza's). Once there, she greeted us at the casita and told us about private beaches and hiking trails and restaurants and - now our very favorite memory - the Esperanza Riding Company, where we went horseback riding on the beaches. The casita itself is beautiful, clean and comfortable, with a wonderful front porch for morning coffee. At night, we were serenaded by birds and frogs. We are already talking about coming back again. Thank you, Kate!

The entire rental process was smooth as silk. Excellent communication with host, Kate. We arrived at Casita and it was even more beautiful in person. Wonderful home! Can’t wait to return!!!

Where to begin!? It was so hard to leave this little slice of heaven in the hills of Vieques after an eight-day trip. The casita on Kate and Scott's three acres of land immediately felt like home, a reprieve from the heat and bustling barrios. In the morning, we’d wake to coffee on the porch. And in the evening, we’d cap off another great day with a drink at sunset. When we set out to explore the island each day, we felt cared for and armed with just the right gear and knowledge. This is all thanks to our hosts' thoughtfulness in every way — decor, communication and medical advice (minor sea urchin run-in). We could write a whole other entry on Scott’s incredible cooking, which drew us back to el Quenepo twice, and hopefully again and again in the future. The casita itself was super clean and in a great location (15 minutes from almost every part of the island... and about 12 minutes from Esperenza). We would definitely recommend a car to anyone visiting (Maritza's Car Rental was awesome -- we got a very clean Kia Soul for about $65 a day and they will pick you up at the airport 10 minutes away). Some of the more adventurous beaches take you off the main road (and on serious rubble). Oh and watch out for the horses while driving, they're everywhere! And they love apples. After much research, we learned Vieques Air Link (the less expensive puddle jumper compared to Cape Air) is a better option than taking the ferry (which we heard was unreliable and an hour drive from San Juan airport). Also, if you can, try to spend a night or two in Old San Juan. We did a night on either side of our trip and it just made for easier travel days and allowed us to explore a whole other wonderful area. We are incredibly grateful to Kate and Scott for opening up their world to us, and we will definitely be returning! Thank you!

Our stay at Casita Granada was the most fabulous getaway and we are already planning our return trip as it was so hard to leave. The Casita is even more perfect than the pictures and felt so warm and inviting the minute we walked in. The property itself was so peaceful and tranquil and we spent so much time sitting on the porch listening to symphony of birds, frogs and gentle breeze. Kate and Scott are the perfect hosts and Kate was so responsive and went above and beyond to help make our anniversary celebration even more special. I would so highly recommend this piece of paradise!!

Kate was a great hostess! From offering us an early check in to making ng sure we had everything we needed. We haven't been to Vieques since 2018...we couldn't wait to get back. It was a great week.

Lively place and host

We had an amazing experience staying at La Casita! Kate was a wonderful host who took extra special care of us. She even coordinated with our rental car place to help get us picked up at the airport. She gave us a full tutorial of where to go and what to see! Kate went way above the call of duty. La Casita was extremely clean. It's small, but it has everything we needed. It is so quiet there and very private! I highly recommend it for couples. We will certainly stay there again next time we visit!

I loved my stay at the Casita Granada! The casita is in excellent condition and has been decorated in an international/Spanish Colonial style influenced by the host’s travels through Latin America and features some of the small treasures she found along the way. Furnishings are high-quality throughout and the kitchen is well-equipped for meal preparation at home. The owner has obviously put a lot of care and work into making the casita a special place, far better than any hotel or thrown-together rental room. The casita is about a 15-minute drive from either “town,” and after exploring them you may decide that cooking at home is the best option (Isabel II is the official town and mostly serves the local community; Esperanza serves tourists but most restaurants are merely tourist-trail quality) (notable exceptions are the casita owner’s restaurant in Esperanza, El Quenepo, and Tin Box, which is closer to the casita). A vehicle is necessary when staying here. Set high on a ridge between the north and south slopes, the breezes ensured that it never got too hot – I never needed to turn on the AC; just left the ceiling fans on low and that was all that was needed. There are two other homes on the 3-acre property, the owner’s and another smaller casita, which are fairly close to this casita – however because of the landscaping and position, it feels very private. The owner maintains fruit trees and small gardens across the property which are nice to look at from the front porch or on a stroll around the grounds. Birdsong and frog calls fill the evening air for a few hours from dusk; it’s rather loud but really feels like you’re up in the forest! The owner, Kate, was extremely helpful and eager to make sure I had a great stay. She picked me up at the airport and took me to pick up my rental car since the rental agency didn’t have anyone to send to pick me up, drew up maps showing me where to see some of the highlights of the island, and was very helpful with local advice. Communication pre- and post-stay was fast and helpful, and she was interested in how to improve her property (I offered some very small suggestions such as a salt & pepper shaker; the only thing that I would say is a caution is that the bed in the master bedroom is very high from the floor and may be difficult for smaller or older people to jump into). During my stay, she had the just the right balance of being helpful/available/interested without being TOO much of any of those.
