Inside, the 5 double doors open to the pool area, making for seamless indoor/outdoor living. Villa Destino also boasts a state of the art solar energy system featuring the Tesla Powerwall II Battery. This is to ensure that our guests have consistent and reliable eco-friendly power during their stay.

Also on the second floor is a den/study for watching movies or lounging with a book, and a generous covered porch that provides a peaceful place to enjoy the incredible views. The covered porch leads to the garden terrace where you will find a secluded tropical garden with banana and papaya trees.

Our 3 bedroom villa is designed to comfortably sleep up to 6 people.

Wow!! Stunning Views! Amazing stay!

Villa Destino is just an amazing place to stay. It was perfect for my family of 5. I was absolutely floored by the views when I first walked in the gate. The pics do not do it justice. The owner, Mary Kay, made our stay super comfortable and was just a text away. Gina, the property manager, was always a available for questions. The property grounds were beautiful and the house was super clean upon arrival. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook and beach gear supplied (coolers, chairs, towels, snorkel gear). We made quite the memories here and looking forward to coming back!!

Absolutely magical!

Amazing house with everything you need! Very private and within minutes to best beaches and activities. We absolutely loved the pool, swam laps every day after dinner. We had Chef Vicente to cook/cater our first dinner when we arrived, it was very timely and super yummy! We found the guide app that owners provided extremely helpful, used it a lot when exploring the island and booking bio bay and horse back riding. If you have kids who are into horses, this is the island to go to. There are more horses then people! We've traveled a lot but have not seen anything like this anywhere before, this island is really special. La Chiva beach was pretty awesome, as you can water walk to the little island right in front of it. Caracas was cool too -- there are trails (very interesting!) on both ends of it. Overall, great experience!

We loved our stay at this property and in Vieques. Everything was clean and airy, and well accommodated. Karen is wonderful, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of. The property is lovely, and the house has many places you can escape. The views are incredible. We would definitely stay here again.

Villa Destino ~ Our week in paradise

We had a fantastic, most memorable island vacation at Villa Destino on the Isla of Vieques! Beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters and great snorkeling opportunities..To scrumptious breakfast bakeries, and fresh catch dinners.. The crown jewel was kayaking the surreal biobay! The only disappointment was we couldnt stay forever 😪 If we can make it back I will definitely book the Villa again. Five Stars!

Heavenly

My family and I fell in love with Villa Destino and Vieques! This was our first visit but certainly won’t be our last. Karen, the house manager, was wonderful. She got us settled in on check in day and communicated with us during our stay. Mary Kay was great to work with as well. The home and the location are perfect! The pool was our absolute favorite. It is paradise and the views are amazing. The Villa Destino app was super helpful for selecting and navigating to beaches, markets, restaurants, etc. Look no further. Book Villa Destino for your Vieques vacation!

The views from the house were just phenomenal, and the property had absolutely everything we needed for an amazing stay.

Fun in Vieques

We enjoyed our stay in Vieques. The villa was amazing, we loved the layout, beautiful view, and the pool. Mary Kay was helpful in setting everything up and Karen answered all our questions when we arrived. A jeep was recommended and definitely needed to reach the property and explore the island. Beaches were beautiful. We'd recommend the villa and Vieques.

Villa Destino Vieques

We had a great stay on Vieques at Villa Destino. Karen was very nice and helpful. The Villa is very nice and the pool was wonderful. The ac took a long time to cool the bedrooms but the pool cooled us off quick after a day of beaching and sight seeing. The Villa was very well equipped for cooking in some nights. We went to different beaches every day and the island is pretty. I would definitely stay here again on Vieques.

Scenic and Peaceful Stay

Our family loved our stay at Villa Destino! The pool was one of the best we’ve enjoyed at a vacation home! Our kids kept wanting to swim at the house rather than the ocean! We opened all the doors in the morning and kept them open to enjoy all day. The views on the deck are beautiful and peaceful. We had visits from Iguanas and peacocks daily. Loved the horses all over the island and the general island vibe. Recommend Vieques and Villa Destino!

Gorgeous view of the Caribbean

We wanted for nothing. The views were stunning. The pool refreshing. The many places to relax were well thought out. Kitchen supplies were just what we needed (we even cooked a 13-lb turkey for thanksgiving!). Three bedrooms and four baths perfect for three couples. It was fun to explore the island and return home to this oasis. Property manager was very helpful and kind. We look forward to coming back!

Everything was wonderful. One suggestion is to have a TV in the lower level. The size room is much more accommodating for a group to watch tv instead of only option upstairs. Air conditioner was not working well in large bedroom but we didn’t use that toom

Paradise!

Amazing experience - one of the best views on all of Vieques and so much space for everything we would need to do and more. The entire stay was perfect. The property manager Karen is communicative and fun to talk to. Very helpful. And Mary Kay was great to communicate with prior to the stay too. We had 6 of us staying there and we each had enough privacy but great communal spaces too. We grilled a few nights and loved listening to the coqui while stargazing. We hope to come back again soon!

A perfect vacation at a perfect proprty

Words can't express how amazing our stay was on Vieques and at Villa Destino. Our entire stay was so relaxing. Everything that we could've needed (and didn't necessarily know we'd need) was available at the house. We didn't have to worry about anything, just enjoy every minute of our vacation. Vieques has so many beaches that we only made it to a few. The snorkeling was amazing (there's plenty of snorkel equipment available at the house that there was no need to rent!). A Bio Bay tour is a must! The house was so beautiful and comfortable. The pictures are no exaggeration, it's really that pretty. The pool was just amazing. My boys would spend hours at the beach, then come back to the house and splash around in the pool for just as long. The pool is a huge plus for families. It's just as nice as most hotel pools. The kitchen had everything we could need. We so appreciated having spices and condiments that are never available at most rentals. The bedrooms are set up so you can spread out and not be "together" all the time. The house is great for families or group of couples. Villa Destino is a top property, and we will definitely return. Thank you, Mary Kay and Karen, for a wonderful family vacation!

Spectacular Vieques Home

Our first impression of Villa Destino ... in person, the house looks just like it does online. Gorgeous and so well-appointed but super comfortable. We spent almost all of our time at the house by the pool so having the entire downstairs open up to it was so convenient. The views of the bay and the Caribbean are spectacular ... and the neighborhood is full of character. We got a kick out of the peacock and the horses! And the location of the house is super convenient to both Isabel and Esperanza, plus all of the amazing Vieques beaches! Karen, who manages this property to a tee, made us feel so welcome from the minute we arrived! She greeted us at the rental car agency and gave us a helpful driving tour on the way to the house, pointing out grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Plus she was so responsive to our questions throughout the week. She's a gem! We cannot wait to get back to Vieques and Villa Destino!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Kay Lee

When we moved to Wisconsin in 1998, we started visiting the Caribbean to escape the cold winters and enjoy the serenity and beauty of the beaches. During our many visits, mainly to the US Virgin Islands, we started dreaming of owning a vacation home in the Caribbean. Then, in 2014, we visited Vieques for the first time, fell in love with the island, and knew the time was right to make our dream come true. We started looking at homes for sale during that very first trip, and purchased Villa Destino one year later in March 2015. Since that time, we have come to appreciate the many things that make Vieques such a special place. From the incredible bio-luminescent bay, to the spectacular beaches in the National Wildlife Refuge, to the wild horses that roam the island, Vieques is a true vacation destination. We want Villa Destino to be a special place on this special island... and we are off to a good start as Villa Destino has received the highest 5-Star "Exceptional" rating based on guest reviews. We will continue to do everything possible to make sure that these high standards are maintained.

Why they chose this property

Vieques is a beautiful unspoiled Caribbean island. The harder choice was which side of the island was better suited for the perfect vacation experience. Initially, we were tempted to buy a house in the Bravos de Boston neighborhood, where most of the vacation rentals are located. These properties are generally situated on the north side of the island (Atlantic Ocean side) close to the ferry and the main town of Isabel Segunda. While the Bravos de Boston neighborhood is relatively close to the water, the area is more congested and the north shore beaches are not very good for swimming because of the waves and rocky shoreline. During our visits to the island, we learned that the best swimming beaches are located in the 18,000 acre National Wildlife Refuge on the south side of the island (Caribbean side). Imagine calm blue and turquoise waters and miles of remote white sand beaches. Villa Destino sits on the edge of the wildlife refuge overlooking the south side of the island and it is perfectly positioned to take advantage of these breathtaking views. Even better, it is just a short 2-3 minute drive to the entrance to the wildlife refuge.

What makes this property unique

What is truly unique about Villa Destino is that the villa opens to the outdoors on both levels and allows you to really enjoy the warm tropical breezes, sparkling pool, vibrant gardens and abundant sunshine, whether indoors or out.

Villa Destino has also installed a state of the art solar energy system featuring two Tesla Powerwall II Batteries. With minimal energy conservation practices ,Villa Destino is able to run completely off grid. However, the property remains connected to the grid to offer back up energy when needed.

Villa Destino provides an incredible luxury experience at a fraction of the cost of a stay at a hotel or other high end vacation home. When you consider that Villa Destino has its own private pool, incredible views, private gardens, full amenities, with better access to the south side beaches, Villa Destino is an easy choice.
