Dos Palmas Casita-1Bdrm,1Ba in Esperanza, Walk to Malecon, Restaurants, Beaches

Sandy Beaches, Tropical Blue Water, Beautiful Weather, currently averaging in the 80*'s

Dos Palmas Casita-1 BDRM for TWO-
1 Bdrm, 1 Ba, Ground Floor Apt. in the small beach side fishing village of Esperanza. A short 1 Block walk to the Malecon, Restaurants, Beaches, Activities, etc.
WIFI and a Smart TV/DVD & Amazon Fire Stick.
Perfect for a couple, or a single traveler, or those on a budget.
A well stocked kitchen if you decide to eat in. Includes a Refrigerator and Freezer, Gas Stove top and Oven, Microwave, Coffee maker, Toaster, Blender, Pots and Pans, and Utensils. Dining table and chairs in kitchen.
The bedroom has a King size bed and additional seating for two.
Bathroom has a nice sized shower, shelves, and a closet for storage.
A/C is available in the bedroom, if needed, and the kitchen and bedroom each have a ceiling fan and floor fans as well.
Bed linens and Bath towels are provided, as well as Beach towels and Beach chairs, and a cooler is available for use, along with snorkel masks and fins
In the rear of the house, which is a common area, in the backyard is a covered gazebo seating area for relaxing, along with a BBQ grill for grilling your favorites, the local catch of the day, or lobsters from the fish market.
Also in the rear of the house, in a private nook is an Outdoor Shower Area surrounded with lush tropical plantings.

Steps away from Lydia's Colmado, (neighborhood market), which is convenient for any small items.
Steps away from everything in Esperanza, as the whole town is easily walkable. A car rental is not necessary, although you may want one to explore the rest of what Vieques has to offer.

Dos Palmas Casita is located in a nice residential neighborhood with great neighbors, a mix of local residents and rental properties.
There are dogs, cats, chickens, horses, coqui, iguanas, and mongoose that freely roam Vieques, and at times the neighborhood as well. You will undoubtedly see and hear several varieties of Vieques wildlife during your stay. It's totally different than our neighborhood in the states, and that's why we love it as we do

TRAVELING TO VIEQUES-
Vieques can seem to be a little daunting to get to at first glance, the good news is that once you do arrive you won't want to leave!
There are several options in traveling from SJU to Vieques, and the price for each can vary greatly. When guests book with us we send them an email detailing the options available, along with the most up to date pricing to help them decide which option would work best depending on their budget and travel times.

Thank You for considering our vacation Casita.

Convenient cottage near town

Clean, convenient, and a good value for the price. This rental is ideal for two travelers planning to spend most of their time exploring the beauty of Vieques. While the space is compact, it’s more than comfortable for those looking for a convenient home base near the beaches, restaurants, and adventures of Esperanza and beyond.

Amazing stay in Esperanza!

We had an amazing stay at Chip and Angies rental in Esperanza! Great location - the unit is exceptionally clean and has everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was fully stocked (pots, pans, utensils, etc.), and they had everything you'd want for the perfect beach day (snorkels/fins, chairs, cooler, etc). Chip and Angie are extremely quick to respond and were amazing to provide all the details prior to arrival. Miguel the property manager was equally great! He greeted us upon arrival and showed us all around, and just across the street if we ever needed anything. Would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect location!!

The casita was perfect for us. Like many others have mentioned, it is a short walk to the Malecon with its many bars and restaurants. Also just around the corner from a grocery store. Just two rooms, kitchen and bedroom, but it doesn’t feel small. Great front patio for our morning coffee. Off street parking was not available to us because the upstairs was occupied also. The a/c in the bedroom kept us comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Everything for a great stay was available although many of the beach chairs were broken. I would have liked hot water in the bathroom sink for shaving. Would absolutely stay here again.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and that you would stay again, thank you. With Puerto Rico construction it's common to not have hot water at all the sinks. Thanks for the heads up about the beach chairs, we'll be ordering more.

Fantastic Property, Great Hosts!!!

We stayed for 5 days at Dos Palmas and couldn't have asked for more from the property or our hosts Chip and Angie. The house was fully equipped with everything you need. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked, and we were provided with loads of information about the island. Angie left us a care package with sunscreen, bug spray and toiletries, which was very much appreciated. All of the kitchenware was in great shape and very well looked after. The neighbors are very pleasant and will come over for a friendly chat. You get the feeling that they're also keeping an eye on the house, which makes it feel very safe. Your two blocks from the Malecon, and one from a small grocery store and bakery with delicious pastries. Being that little extra distance from the main drag means that you don't hear the bars at night time, but are a very close walk to some of the best beaches, and places to catch a taxi if you don't want to rent a car. A great location and comfortable stay. Highly recommended.

An absolutely perfect vacation

I absolutely fell in love with Vieques in part due to the beautiful accommodations at Dos Palmas. I traveled alone for 7 days and this property was a perfect home base. Located on a beautiful, safe and clean street in the heart of Esperanza, this house is about a 4 minute walk from the town's bars and restaurants, and another 5 minutes from one of the most gorgeous beaches I have ever experienced. The accommodations were comfortable, safe and convenient - it was nice to have a full kitchen in the event I wanted to eat in, and the large outdoor patio was perfect for morning coffee. The garage is stocked with everything you'll need for the beach (chairs, coolers, umbrellas, etc), and even a washer and dryer, making it very easy to pack light. A few feet away are a convenience store and a bakery, the latter of which serves the best bread and donuts I have ever had in my life. Just a perfect location in a perfect town on a perfect island. Chip and Angie were super responsive and helpful in their recommendations and advice. I will most definitely be returning next time I am in Vieques (hopefully very soon!).

Misleading

Not as advertised. Found out upon checking in that backyard with grill and outdoor shower were off-limits for our stay. TV in the bedroom of a 2-room apt. Is understandable, if the tv actually works without the help of the owner. AC was unable to maintain less than 76 degrees after the first night. I made 2 requests regarding if there was a secret to getting the tv to work, but owner had other things on her mind I think. She did assist in getting it to work on our last night. We wouldn't return for another stay for half the cost. I'll definitely ask more questions if we elect to use a vrbo facility again.

Misleading? Not as advertised? Our listing is very accurate, description and picture wise. Several reviews have stated exactly that. It is not large, but perfect for a single traveler or couple, as is mentioned in the listing. Angie met and greeted these guest when they arrived, and was available throughout their stay. Had they communicated the TV issue earlier instead of night 5 out of 5, (which Angie rectified quickly with the correct input chosen), it could have been addressed earlier. The same with goes for the A/C, no mention was made of this or Angie could have shown them how to properly operate it as well. In the end if you're thinking of staying at our vacation rental please read the many other reviews form previous guest who actually enjoyed Vieques and our offered accommodations.

Lovely stay!

Our stay here was pleasant! We apparently scheduled our vacation during peak hurricane season (our mistake). The rain from tropical storms Danielle and Earl was actually very refreshing. Our stays were in both the bottom and top apartment and both were equipped with the perfect essential utilities and amenities for both kids and adults. I was thankful that they supplied LED battery operated emergency lights because we did lose power and of course we didn’t have our cell phones charged enough to use the phone flash light! Their towels prepped for us smelled so good! The owners and property manager, Miguel were all great! Miguel especially was awesome. He was there to greet us upon pulling up to the driveway as he lives across the street with his lovely wife. Miguel was attentive and so friendly and helpful. His smile was so welcoming! This place was also conveniently located to what is pretty much the only strip of currently open bars and “night life” during this time of year. Everything else was pretty much closed or closed before or by 8pm. The strip was a 5 minute walk and there was always one place open until 2am some nights a little later. Great music and the people here for the most part were so friendly too. If you’re looking for a safe, secure, clean and welcoming stay, these two apartments are it!

Local Neighborhood

This is a small almost studio type apartment. The kitchen area was well equipped and there was a gas grill in the back for our use. We did cook most of our own meals.The property had beach chairs and coolers for our use and had shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, lotion, a nice beach bag to load our books and other beach things into and nice beach towels. We were able to wash and dry clothes with the laundry detergent already there. There was a small flat screen TV in the bedroom but we weren't sure what we could use it for as there was no TV service. The space was clean and well furnished. The neighbors were friendly. It was a short walk to the main downtown area and the ocean...lots of eating places along this strip. We ate a Belly Buttons a couple of times and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The views along this area are beautiful. The horses, chickens and dogs were plentiful through out the island. It was a unique sight to see as they roamed down the street at anytime of the day or night. We drove to beaches from here which was but a short drive 10-15 minutes to some incredible sandy beaches. We only stayed at the property for 4 nights and then moved on to a bigger place on the other side of the Island for the remainder of the 3 weeks that we spent on Vieques. If you are traveling light and are out and about most of the time this is the place for you.

We hope you enjoyed your time spent at our ground floor unit. While it is not an enormous amount of space, we've tried to make it an inviting and comfortable, safe and clean space for up to two guest, and we've tried to portray it as such in the listing description. We're glad you were able to make use of several of the amenities we make available for our guests. There is a DVD player and several DVDs available, we recently upgraded to a Smart TV -so with the available Wifi you can stream shows, movies, etc. We are glad you chose to spend a few days in Esperanza and experience the southern side of Vieques before your travel plans took you to the northern side of the island. Thank you for your review.

About the host

Hosted by Chip & Angie Hicks

Host profile image
After traveling to various islands in the Caribbean, we knew immediately we had found "Our Island" on our first trip to Vieques. After several trips we found our home, and we hope to share it with others so they may discover the beauty of Vieques for themselves. In our travels we always stayed at small family owned places with a self contained kitchen for the option of eating in. Our kitchen is well stocked so that could be an option on your vacation as well, though we do recommend sampling some of the many restaurant options Esperanza and the Island have.

Why they chose this property

Located close to the Malecon and beaches, and being within walking distance to everything in Esperanza, it's a great location for a vacation home.

What makes this property unique

Located in a nice neighborhood with great neighbors, a mix of local residents and rental properties, within easy walking distance to bars/restaurants, and local attractions.
