A slice of paradise... Casa de Playa is a traditional modest casa that rests gently within a teeming, beautiful nature preserve. Enjoy the beautiful grounds and touch of nostalgia for the old time Caribbean quality of life. Your yard at Casa de Playa is a park shaded by coconut trees, almonds, bananas, mangoes, and many other enticing fruits. Hosting an exotic bird sanctuary, the nearby laguna is flanked by protected mangroves, visited by pasa finos and inhabited by iguanas, land crabs and ... the fragrance of the lovely Trade Winds.
Our two bedroom casa features a queen bed in the master and two large twin beds (that can be combined into a king bed) in the other. We also can provide a standard crib and small stroller as needed.
Our chef-kitchen is well-stocked and fun, and the dining, lounge and playroom area are well-furnished, bright and beautiful. The Atlantic Ocean is visible (and audible!) from anywhere in la casa. Our views include the islands of Culebra and St. Thomas-- gorgeous at sunset.
The casa also has modest air-conditioning, lighted ceiling fans throughout, Internet access, Dish TV, and a landline phone for yoru comfort.
Discover beaching at Casa de Playa; sunning, sanding, wading, stroking, surfing, seaglass searching, seashell listening, walking without end. Or lounge about on a comfortable chaise and just soak up the sun and ocean breezes...
Our home is a casa on a beach and enjoys a great sense of privacy and natural wonder. As our guests, you will enjoy a unique, tropical experience wrapped within the beauty and charm of la Isla Nena. Welcome!

Small beach front house with everything you need

Casa de Playa was perfect for us; three adults. The house is small so for groups larger than four people you would have to be okay with spending time together in a confined space. The house comes with absolutely everything you could possibly need including; beach towels, linens, kitchen supplies (even trash bags and dish soap), boogie boards, and sun hats. The W/D are not on the actual property but are a very short walk past beautiful trees and scenery. There was even clothes soap available for us to use. The land crabs in the side yard are very fun to watch. The beach directly in front of the house is practically deserted at all times. It is wonderful for beach combing (we found lots of sea glass) but if you are looking to snorkel I would recommend Mosquito Pier or some of the beaches on the former Navy grounds. The A/C unit is in the master bedroom and doesn't cool the second bedroom very well, but being beachfront we preferred to have the windows open and the fans running. That way you can hear the ocean and fall asleep to the coqui frogs...Or use the ear plugs available at the house if you like to sleep in a quiet atmosphere (as I said before the has has just about everything you could possibly need). Casa de Playa is not a fancy house but it is very comfortable and inviting. We enjoyed our stay and had absolutely no complaints. Just a warning that the floors can be a little slippery when they are wet because they are ceramic tile. I would recommend this house if you don't need a ton of space and can live without large screen TV's, pools, and fancy furniture. You certainly can't beat the price for a beach front house on Vieques!

Staying at Casadeplaya is so serene and refreshing. Birds and horses frequent the laguna each morning and afternoon - while you sit on your porch in awe. A beautiful view, the beach is great for sea glass collecting, walking and snorkeling - as well as surf which sings you to sleep. And I've never seen iguanas so up close; they're shy. The casa is simple, yet very nicely appointed, with good beds and a kitchen with everything needed to cook at home. Vieques is SO NOT upscale [YEAH!], yet the people are friendly and world savy. Beaches and water are awesome. MAGIC, absolutely magical.
Owner response:There are renters, and there are guests. These guests are always welcome to share our "slice of paradise."
