Location: Isabel II, Vieques Island, Puerto Rico, Caribbean (On a hill overlooking the town of Isabel II and the ocean)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)
Alta Mira, in Vieques, Puerto Rico is a house with large glass windows and ocean views from three sides. The comfortable living area opens through sliding glass doors to a wide deck overlooking the ocean, islands in the distance, and the Spanish Fort Conde de Mirasol.
The house is built into the side of a hill so the deck nestles among the tops of mango, grapefruit, guava and avocado trees. Some evenings the cattle egrets fly by at eye-level on their way to roost.
The house is very private yet located in a friendly neighborhood. It’s wonderful to be able to stroll down the hill to restaurants and shopping in Isabel II and be within easy driving distance to all the beaches.
It has a lovely walled yard with an herb garden and flowers always in bloom. It’s a rare day when hummingbirds are not dipping their needle-like bills into yellow canarias, red firecrackers and multi-colored hibiscus blossoms in the garden below. There, a hammock swings beneath a Seville orange tree ready for post-beach snoozes.
Help yourself to key limes, basil, rosemary, oregano and other herbs to take upstairs to the kitchen. The kitchen was designed with folk who enjoy cooking in mind. In addition to all the expected appliances – blender, microwave, etc., we also have a food processor, a Kitchen Aid heavy-duty mixer, an electric citrus juicer, sharp chef-quality knives for every purpose, and matching service for eight. Even if you’re not that into cooking you’ll appreciate the high quality sauté pans and pasta pots to warm-up restaurant “take-homes” or make some spur-of-the-moment spaghetti.
The rest of the house is just as thoughtfully furnished including original art and bookshelves filled with hundreds of titles from all genres.
We think you’ll enjoy the views, breezes, surroundings, comfort and convenience that Alta Mira offers.
