Overall we had a fabulous stay. I loved waking up every morning and watching the sunrise while listening to the birds.
We loved the house and the property. It’s a large home, that is very open with very large doorways. It is hard to explain but you almost feel as if you are outdoors while in the home. The upstairs patio is the length of the home. There are screened doors, so that you can keep the house open when there is a nice breeze.
Obviously, it gets warm there, but each room as it’s own AC. There is not an AC in the main area, so be conscious of that. We were also unable to keep the living room fans on without the lights on because they are on the same dimmer switch. I was traveling with four kids. Mostly teens, but one four year old. Their phones worked well on the property for the downtime before bed. Unfortunately, the internet in the house wasn’t consistent, so we were not able to watch tv in the main living room. We tried to use the DVD player, but it was broken. Had I noticed earlier in the day, I would have reached out, but it wasn’t critical. There was just one night where there weather wasn’t great and my young daughter wasn’t tired, so a family movie would have been perfect for her. I’m still leaving 5 stars, because it wasn’t critical.
The pool was great and the teens were constantly entertained between the pool, pool table and property. We ventured out every day exploring the island, so there wasn’t a ton of time that we were at the house when we weren’t tired.
I loved the location because it is somewhat in the middle of the island. We went to several places every day and it was very convenient. There was a beautiful view from the pool deck and I just loved the home. The only downside is we wished we had planned for more time!
We can’t wait to come back for a visit. The only thing I would do different is coordinate our vieques air link flight with our San Juan flight a little closer together because we had a lot of waiting time in between. I also read there is a flight directly from the San Juan airport.
There is some snorkel gear on the property; which is a plus, but we didn’t see it before buying some. I would definitely pack some of our own next time. I would also go to the large grocery store the first day, because places have limited hours. If traveling with young ones, I recommend bringing some entertainment for downtime. We bought some paint and painted coconuts on the lawn. Love Vieques!
