gloria purchased this Cottage in 2002
Why gloria chose Vieques
This property is special to us as it's private and offers us the pleasure of enjoying wildlife. There are woods behind with a river bordering two sides but we especially love our beautiful ocean view and the daily visits from a herd of wild horses who graze between our home and the ocean. We never tire of the surprise of seeing a new colt accompanying its mother for the first time or a nest of egrets full of fuzzy baby birds in the trees behind in the lagoon. You might see everything from nesting egrets, horses, iguanas, hummingbirds, rooster families, mongoose - etc. on our grounds. It's bringing you nature - naturally!
What makes this Cottage unique
We are a quick walk to a sandy beach which offers a mile long walk. Sitting on our porch glider and watching surf and feeling peaceful with the sounds and sights of country living by the sea.

Wonderful place to stay in Vieques!A great find!
This was our first visit to Vieques and we were thoroughly enchanted by the landscape and people. And staying at Tranquility by the Sea was the perfect island setting. Gloria is an easy going and lovely host.
It’s always a pleasure to have guests who take the time to communicate with me. It was a pleasure having you stay at the cottage. Will happily look forward to any future visits!! 😎
Gloria's property
Gloria's property work out very well and definitely fit all of our needs .
Best house on the block.
Three of us stayed here for a week. The house is very clean and has a wonderful wrap around porch. We had some appliance problems the first couple days which were immediately taken care of by the owner, Gloria. She had a new microwave and refrigerator installed the day after she was contacted about the problems. The dryer isn't working and hasn't been for a while. Gloria said she'd be replacing that soon. We didn't have any worries with the laundry because of the clothes line outside - perfect. Yes, there neighbor's house is unkempt, but he's friendly and quiet. Look past it. The animal shelter that others have complained about really wasn't so bad. The dogs bark for about 30 minutes during feeding times twice a day. Around 630 am and pm. Once feeding is over we rarely heard them and weren't bothered at all.
Gloria, the homeowner is amazing to work with. Very involved and concerned about our comfort.
The only thing I would change is to make it clear in the property description that there is only ac in the bedrooms. (I don't think it specified) Other areas of the home have ceiling fans to cool with the windows open. After dark those areas were very comfortable if the breezes were blowing.
Beautiful home and yard!
The house was beautiful and the yard surrounding it was spacious and beautiful as well. The house had lots of amenities. Gloria, the owner was great to work with and answered questions I had quickly. Thank you!
Great place to stay!
The name speaks for itself, Tranquility.
Map
Tranquility is located on the north shore - we are very near the beach. Our cottage offers a great view of the ocean and rolling waves. Wild horses graze in the fields by our home and wander our road daily. For lovers of wildlife - this is the place. From hummingbirds to egrets that roost behind the cottage - we have birds!! "Birders" will not be disappointed as there is constant activity. Our two water gardens feature water lilies and we have daily visitors from local egrets. When not at the cottage -
you can walk a dog at the humane shelter next door., find a new beach to explore, or go shelling (out front has lots of seaglass) - snorkeling or scuba diving. The eateries are diverse and if cooking in is a favorite - the cottage is amply supplied with pots - pans etc. We pride ourselves in providing you with a clean - comfortable home to come back to after a day exploring and enjoying the island.
