Some tips to help future travelers:
-The blue house is out of walking distance from the ferry port, plan to have a rental car or planned transportation.
- There’s minimal things in the kitchen: no oven, no spices, a glitchy microwave, no dishwasher. Plan on cooking everything stove stop & doing dishes.
- The closest market is pricey, watch expiration dates, closes early. Watch for people hanging around out front looking to take advantage of tourists, stay alert.
- There’s a GORGEOUS beach walking distance down the hill from the house. Small, but so beautiful. We loved it!
-The shower was lousy & water filter didn’t work on the sink.
- The property manager Berto was THE best. He picked us up from the ferry when we missed our rental car window, took us to the market to get food, then brought us to get settled. The next day he called to see if we needed anything and let us know that the adjacent property had checked out and invited us to use the pool belonging to that property- kids loved it!
-Know that this is a 2 family house so there might be folks staying above/below you, depending on where you stay. Our upstairs neighbors were super nice and offered to share the game room that goes with that level.
- There’s an open porch w/2 hammocks and a large table/chairs w/ ocean view. We spent a lot of time out there.
- The beaches on Vieques made this trip worth it- so amazing, we traveled around and went to a bunch.
- Biobay tour w/Salty Spirit company was awesome! Didn’t get to snorkel due to rip currents.
Overall this house will do for a few nights stay to explore the island, but I wouldn’t want to stay very long. Berto was great and we only met nice, helpful people on the island for the days we were there. We loved exploring the small island and throughly enjoyed our Marriott resort in San Juan afterwards.
