Why Murray Skinner chose Vieques Island
Here are what our guests have said;
*Our Christmas week at the Bravos Bungalows-The Compound was everything we hoped for and more. The property was perfect for our large group and had everything we needed. Thanks again. Can’t wait to return
* Great week for a group of 9 – 83 years to 8 months old. Stayed at the Bravos Bungalows compound for over two weeks and loved it. Tons of space for solitude as well as public areas for the whole gang. Clean and well equipped. We were pleased with this place and and all the well thought out amenities, Hdtv, A/C, pool, security, furnishings, gardens, location. We will definitely be back.
*My husband and I can’t say enough about this rental. From the moment we landed in Vieques we knew we had found a true Carribean gem. Then, we opened the gates of Bravos Bungalows and we knew we had chosen the right place to stay. Conveniently located we felt at ease and they promptly answered all out questions. The house was beautifully decorated, very clean, well equipped and felt just like home. The kitchen was so well equipped we enjoyed dining in most nights so we could enjoy the beautiful outdoor space and swim under the stars. The air conditioner units in the bedrooms are terrific and cooled them in minutes while you brush your teeth! Having la Chata beach a couple doors down made for memorable morning walks with our coffee and the best sunset view with the main island in the distance. The rental was so comfortable and relaxing that we even spent 3 days there by the pool. Just what the doctor ordered! We will be going back to Vieques again and will stay here again!
*Island vibe” as they say in america met all expectations and more.

Great property on Vieques
Family of 9 celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary with a first time to Vieques. Loved the gardens, the pool, the outdoor spaces, AC in bedrooms and outdoor shower via one of the bedrooms. Murray was super responsive for reservations, and Betty & Miles met my parents at the car rental which was above and beyond what most would do. Took the coolers to the beaches often since most have no concessions, worth getting ice and drinks for that reason. Well appointed.The only thing that would make this even better is luxury linens, thicker bath towels, and being on ocean front with no neighbors nearby, but that is really getting picky and it was a great place for us and our family. Be ready for lots of insect sounds and frog sounds, roosters and the like, most of which were a pleasure to sleep to. Loved Murray's book about the house remodeling process, you can tell it was a labor of love and patience. Finally, be prepared for the island mosquitos. Brutal, even in the partially shaded areas, around the pool too. But a small price to pay for a beautiful place!
Great home for big family and worked well with parent in wheelchair.
We we're a family of 9 and one parent in a wheelchair. The house was very clean and spacious. Highly recommend For a large family.
I have family on the island so I was able to mail a handicapped bath chair which fit perfect in the bathroom. There is not a lot of option on the island for someone handicap but we made it work and she had an awesome time. Miles was exstermly helpful with all our request. The Medalla in the fridge was a nice welcome after a long day of traveling. Overall very nice house!
Wonderful Christmas for a Family of 8
This gorgeous pair of bungalows was just the place for 6 adults and 2 young children. The pool is saltwater, the fountain is pretty. Kitchen has everything you need for quick meals. The bedrooms have ample space. The pictures on VRBO are accurate. Showers give you nice warm water. Bring sandals to cushion your feet on the concrete floors and be really careful not to slip coming in from the pool. One more thing to know before you go -- bring good ear plugs. The surrounding neighborhood is noisy -- the rooster awakens around 4AM, cars going by play music starting around 6AM, and there's a nearby property that hosts parties. You absolutely need a rental car to be sure to get what you need at your convenience. Grocery stores close around 5p, so not ideal if you are planning on stocking up on the day of arrival. Regardless, this property is a hands down beauty -- it must be one of the best on the island.
Bravos Bungalows
Great house...very clean and updated appliances...beautiful gardens and pool...close to ocean....property managers very friendly and attentive...loved our 8th year coming to Vieques...highly recommend this property
AMAZING!
Bravos Bungalows was even better than the pictures or the description!! Loved that it is located in a neighborhood and not a resort area. It is stocked with everything you can need and more. Murray was wonderful to work with to reserve the Bungalows. Miles and Betty were so informative and helpful during our stay. We were so in love with Bravos Bungalows, we did not want to leave. Wish I could give it a 10 star rating!
Best vacation house EVER
I can not say enough nice things about this property! The pictures do not do it justice. This is by far the nicest vacation house that I've ever stayed it. Plenty of room for 6 adults! We actually ended up having one room that no one stayed in. Beautiful pool! Beautiful lush greenery outside! Everything about this property is perfect! I will definitely stay here my next trip to Vieques!
Map
The Bravos Bungalows are within 15 minutes of Vieques' famous beaches and its world famous Bio Bay is a must see. There is a pleasent walk along North Shore Road to Vieques principal town of Isabel Segunda where one can find restaurants, bars, pharmacies and it's quaint town plaza.
Since the Bungalows became available for rent we have had many inquiries from colleagues and friends about Vieques. It obviously struck a chord with us, but it is safe to say that it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. With that in mind we thought it wise to compile a list of reasons that might help distinguish if this is really a place certain people would like to visit.
Our sense is most people will love the place and likely return several times. But I also do know that there is a percentage of the population that will arrive in Vieques for whom their departure flight will not come soon enough. These are likely the same type of people who go to Italy and complain that the pasta is not cooked enough – “its El Dente”!
So let’s get started. You probably will not enjoy Vieques if you;
1) Need a weekly fix of North American style fast food.
2) Usually travel with your golf clubs while on vacation.
3) Are interested in eating out every night and don’t enjoy at least some part of your vacation to be self catering.
4) Are not content relaxing on a quiet unspoiled beach with a good book.
5) Immediately ask what the casinos and night clubs are like.
6) Expect all of the shopping and amenities to be just like what you have at home.
7) Do not expect to rent a vehicle.
8) Are not expecting to share the island with the odd mosquito and wild horse.
9) Will not find the peeping Coqui frogs and crowing roosters part of the islands appeal.
10) Do not find the joy in the little things in life.
Come and stay here and enjoy this magical island and make the Bravos Bungalows your home away from home while exploring this wonderful island.
