We had a wonderful two weeks at the Reefhouse in July. The house was everything the listing said. The owner had provided a very helpful brochure and answered all our questions. The property manager, Kikito, picked us up and got us settled in. The house is very comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen, great beds, a library and reference books - we would have loved to stay MUCH longer! When we weren't at the beach, we spent our time on the deck, with the sound of the waves, and the coquis at night. Red and Silver were our favorite beaches ,and we had great snorkeling by Mosquito pier. The house had beach chairs, snorkel equipment, cooler - and mangoes from the tree! We loved to watch the iguanas in the tree over the water. And the horses who ambled by. We walked over to the Mar Azul bar for sundowners and to watch the ferry come in, then dinner at Coconuts - recommended. Vieques is so laid-back and it was all so relaxing. We'll be back and we will stay at the Reefhouse for sure. Thank you!

We stayed at the Reefhouse from 6/11/09 to 6/20/09. The view was awesome. It was very comfortable and we had all the supplies we needed to prepare meals, we just had to add the food.Make sure to check the times when the ferry arrives and departs as the traffic is a little much, but with patience and learning the times you will miss the traffic jams. Blue beach and Red beach were closed during are stay so we went to Gringo Beach and snorkeled everyday from 10am to about 3pm when the locals would come with their families for a swim after a hard days work.We had the pleasure of seeing stingrays, starfish, parrotfish, angelfish, tangs of every color(powder blue, yellow/black stripped, naso tangs, all kinds),bubble coral, cleaner fish, brain coral.... I'm sure you get the picture) If you find your way to Esperanza make sure to have a meal at Bananas, you won't be dissappointed. They have excellent Red snapper and great salads.We will be coming back!!!

Wow! What a wonderful place to live while visiting Vieques. The house had everything we needed from snorkeling gear, a cooler, beach towels, and three comfortable bedrooms. We loved the beaches, bio bay, and everything we discovered on beautiful Vieques. Tom was right there to pick us up and get us settled in. Thanks for a great first time visit, hope it's not our last! If I go back, I saw no better place then the Reefhouse.

Hola! Thanks so much for this fabulous house. We enjoyed everything about Vieques – surf just out the door, snorkeling in Green Beach, kayaking near Esperanza, lush drives on remote roads and all the horses. It was perfect.

We had a very good time on Vieques and at the Reefhouse. The location of your house is fabulous, we enjoyed being able to walk to town (icecreams on the plaza) and to the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, listening to the surf, eating our meals there and taking in the incredible views. The kids had plenty to do exploring the garden, chasing the lizards, swimming and snorkeling. The beach chairs and the bag with beach toys were excellent. The kitchen was well equipped with everything. We cooked almost all our meals at the house, therefore this was very important. We hope to return!

Thank you for the use of your wonderful house. Couldn't have had a nicer time and the Reefhouse is so perfectly set up. Kids loved the lizards and hummingbirds. Went to a different beach every day (Media Luna a real favorite!) and the bio bay too. We are going to try our hardest to come back. Just a great place and really loved and appreciated your house.

The house is lovely, comfortable, and totally livable. The wide and deep sea views are enchanting, as is the pretty front yard with well-placed hammock.All furnishing comfortable and adequate for 4-6 people. Easy, charming décor. Plenty of towels and hats. We had a great time! The chilled wine on arrival was most welcomed – thank you!!

We stayed at the Reefhouse for 2 glorious weeks in January. The house was everything it was said to be - comfortable, great view, well-equipped, and an amazing deck where we spent most of our time, watching the water, the pelicans, the sunsets. We tried some good restaurants - Blue Macaw, Quenepo - but most nights we cooked and ate on the deck. We loved the wifi so we could sit on the porch - and our own papayas for breakfast. Snorkeling was the best at the beach by the house and beside the pier - starfish galore and lots of fish.

Jan 23, 2008 Almost two weeks later I can find my way around, recognize various locals and have forgotten what winter feels like. Was it the sun, the sea or the wine? Fantastic time here at the Reefhouse which has to be the most perfect location. Time for the beach every day (Red the fave), time to experience gringo culture and learn to get to the bakery early!

You just can’t do it all in a week, so darn, we’ll just have to come back. Being curious and nosy will take you to some great places. Be sure to hike to the black sandy beach – locate the meal road guard between 7.0 and 7.1 km markers on 201 south. Park your car across from 7.1 marker, walk back to guard, go down into the arroyo, do not go back under the bridge, take path to right – a 10 to 15 min walk puts you on the beach, wear water shoes. Good sea beach glass spot and the beach is a geological oddity – about 100-150 yds of black sand. Do NOT rent from Vieques Rental Cars. If you’re a diver do the Blue Beach drift dive out of Black beard Sports – wow!House was great – comfortable and a great deck. We appreciated the wifi, and all the reference books.
