Outstanding Rental

Las Terrazas is even better than the lovely photos appear. This was a perfect home for two families traveling together. We each had our own private space with the bonus of amazing communal space (outdoor eating, pool, cabana, terraces) for breakfasts, dinners, evening cocktails. The house is clean and incredibly well maintained. The location is ideal - up on the hillside for spectacular views, easy drive to the beaches, grocery and restaurants. We spent our mornings at the beach and afternoons in the pool (while our kids napped). The owner is so helpful, easy to deal with, prompt via email and they have a house manager on the island who met us at the airport, guided us to the house and was available for any questions while on the island. Cannot recommend this rental highly enough. We will certainly return!

We just returned from a wonder time at Las Terrazas. This was our second visit to Vieques, and we loved the location of this home. It is so well situated and easy to get to everything the island has to offer. Definitely one of (if not the) best location on the island. The home is very comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen especially is well stocked, and we ended up cooking many dinners instead of going out. The outdoor dining area(s) are perfect. The grounds are very well kept and landscaped and the pool was spotless. Because of the landscaping you really feel private, but can be at the grocery store, or in town within minutes (unless a stubborn horse creates "traffic"). Views of the Atlantic ocean from the 2nd floor decks are beautiful, and the star gazing was great. Owner and property manager were also wonderful to deal with. No complaints at all!

Las Terrazas is one of the nicest villas on Vieques. We have been vacationing on the island for several decades and have rented several different villas but once we found Las Terrazas we have stayed with it. The house has lovely terraces, an excellent pool and an adjacent gazebo to get out of the sun. There’s a patio for outdoor gathering and dining and a good barbeque. The pool and the area surrounding the house are lushly and thoughtfully planted. The house sleeps 4 on each of its 2 floors and there is a well equipped kitchen on each floor. (There’s also a separate “casita” that sleeps 2). The property manager is both very helpful and cordial. 5/5 stars.

This home has been the perfect spot for our vacation two years in a row. I can't say enough about it. The house is truly gorgeous, well-appointed, private, and yet close to everything you would need. The house can easily accommodate a large group or multiple families, with great shared space and plenty of room to spread out. The owners are kind, generous, and very knowledgeable, not to mention easy to work with. The property manager was also accessible and responsive to anything we needed during our stay. We will certainly be back again and without a doubt give the home a five-star rating.

My husband and I hosted a mini family reunion for our one year wedding anniversary in Vieques; this was our first trip to this gorgeous island and we were certainly not disappointed. We had a rather large party of close to 30 folks spread between two properties in Vieques, everyone was impressed with Las Terrazas from the moment they walked onto the property. The listing provided on this site is accurate, the views are wonderful, the pool provides hours of fun and the gardens are spectacular (I work in the desert so I was loving the green), the upper floor has an outstanding view of the ocean (if you look at the right times you can see the ferry heading back to the main island). The owner was great to work with and very accommodating, I really appreciate it as I made the reservation from Baghdad, Iraq so all communication was via email. Karen was outstanding, she met us at the other property and guided us back to Las Terrazas. She gave us some great advice on the island and walked us around the property. The home was spotless, the bathrooms are OUTSTANDING!!! Lots of towels, lots of space, lots of kitchen goodies and plenty of pool toys. There are a bunch of different places to hangout on the property, we had breakfast on the upstairs balcony and drinks on the downstairs patio each night. I would recommend this property to anyone seeking a private getaway as well as a central location close to everything.

We very much enjoyed our stay as Las Terrazas in November. The pool was beautiful and well maintained. The house was perfect for our group of 7 adults; we never felt like we were on top of one another. The house and casita accommodated the group easily. Las Terrazas is a beautiful, clean, and well-appointed home. The kitchen is new and has every amenity that you could need. We cooked most of our meals in the house and ate on the outside terraces. The house has WIFI, washer/dryer, and gated parking. The house is very private and secure. The housekeeper, Karen, is terrific and available for any issues and island recommendations. I highly recommend the house.

Nine of us stayed during end of October 2011 and loved every bit of it. From the main house to the casita and surrounding garden/pool area. Definitely worth every minute. The host was very helpful and accommodating. If you want a place from away from everything yet relaxed, this is the place. The interiors are beautifully designed and maintained and garden is meticulously kept. We are already planning our next trip there!

We LOVE the house. The photos don't do it justice. Everything is perfect: the pool, the outdoor dining, the views, the new kitchen, the new bathrooms. Karen has been so helpful - she is wonderful.

We could not have asked for anything more - this home had every amenity possible. We enjoyed coffee and meals on the terraces as well as watching the breathtaking starlit nights. The pool was perfect - size, temperature and cleanliness. The whole house was spotless. Guidebooks, puzzles, games, books, pool toys, sand toys, beach chairs, umbrellas - all available at the house for use. The beds were very comfortable, towels fresh and clean for the pool and beach. The house was truly the best place for a family to stay. We all fell in love with the house and Vieques. Also, great communication with the owners and local representative.

The perfect getaway...this home provided our group with the luxury of being all together but with enough space to feel comfortable. The house is very well kept, clean, in a safe area. It is very inviting and relaxing. We were expecting to deal with the unbearable hot weather instead we found this house has great air-conditioning in the bedrooms and fans through out the rest of the home. Some nights we did not even need a/c with the breeze. The pool was perfect. The water was warm even at midnight. There was a container with kids toys and several pool floats for adults. There is a lot of detail in this home. We did not want to leave. The house manager was very helpful as where the homeowners who provided a useful guide and house history and also plenty of information before our trip. We found some great restaurants near by and beautiful beaches. You do need to rent a car on the island but nothing is farther than 10 minutes away. We will have to return as we did not get to tour the bio-bay. We just hope they continue to offer this house. We felt very fortunate to stay in one of the most beautiful homes in Vieques.

We have returned (sadly) from Vieques and wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Las Terrazas. It was perfect for our family! I loved discovering all the little private niches on the gorgeous grounds and our children couldn't get enough of the magnificent pool. Everything was so clean and well organized! The home had everything we needed and more! It was so nice to have coolers, beach and pool towels, beach chairs, rafts and water toys provided. As I am sure you expected, we have fallen in love with Vieques and are already looking forward to a return visit. Thank you for all your help with everything--especially getting us in touch with Chevy! We had a wonderful time with him in San Juan! He was the perfect tour guide. He even called us after we got to Vieques just to make sure we arrived safely! Karen was great, too. She took excellent care of us while we were on the island. It was truly one of the best vacations we have ever taken! Thanks again!

We totally enjoyed Las Terrazas. The privacy was all that we hoped for. The house and the pool were more than we hoped for. We used both the upper and lower areas, depending on the weather and the time of day. Lots of reading and relaxation. It was the best rental we have been in, maybe ever. Thank you for sharing it with us for a week. Las Terrazas was truly a Vieques haven for us.
