Sizzlin' Summer Sale in Esperanza-And you can even walk to the Beach...

Michelle has a notebook full of information of things to do and maps. She picked us up from the Ferry. She has a referral for our pick up from Fajardo to San Juan. She has a great place to stay and is so helpful on our visit to this amazing place. She gave us a great recommendation for a biobay tour and it was amazing. Thank you so much Michelle, we can’t wait to come back.

A few weeks ago, my husband David and I spent 10 glorious days in Vieques, PR and staying at Casa Esperanza was a big part of our fun. I don’t really know where to start but here goes. Michelle picked us at the Antonio Rivera Rodriguez Airport directly and oriented us to the Island. When we arrived at the house, and went through the gate on Calle Orquideas, I was impressed with the manacured tropical gardens and the clean neat compound. The house had everything we needed for out stay. The WiFi worked flawlessly as did the satellite TV. After beach hopping, the outside shower was especially handy. Typically, I made breakfast In the well equipt kitchen and found the local grocery store had everything you need for meals and more. The bedrooms had plenty of room and are air conditioned. Our bed was very comfortable with nice linens. Just a short walk, we had dinner some nights on the Malecon, but enjoyed Bigotes, Tsunami in Isabelle and Robins for Mojitos. You can walk to the beach, chairs and cooler are available at the Casa. We liked our trip so much we bought a house before we left. We are anxious to get back for settlement and to ride the ferry between Ceibo and Mosquito Pier.

The house are spacious, comfortable and we found it to be very well equipped with separate bedrooms, living room and a kitchen. We loved the bright colors and beautiful design with attention to details. This is a very comfortable place where you feel at home and dream of ever coming back.

The house is conveniently located close to the waterfront.

Special thanks to Michelle for kindness, professionalism, willingness to help.

I fell in love with her tropical garden - it's gorgeous!

Our time at this cozy island house was wonderful. I reached out to Michelle very last minute in an attempt to book this home for 2 days. She got back to me in a very timely manner and was very willing to help us with anything we needed. We arrived in Vieques in the morning and after a few attempts at getting a taxi I reached out to Michelle and she agreed to pick is up for a very fair price in comparison to the taxis. We had agreed to rent a vehicle from her and seeing as we had so much supplies she rented us out a larger vehicle for the already agreed upon price. We reached the house and it felt just like a home away from home, very clean and decorated beautifully with some paintings done by her husband a local artist. Michelle was very attentive and made sure we were doing well throughout our stay. We left feeling like we had made a new friend on the beautiful island of Vieques. When we return we will definitely reach out to Michelle again and continue to rent from her!

My husband and I, and our four teenagers, stayed in Casa Esperanza for five days in June. The house was lovely. The layout --- open main area and two bedrooms and a bathroom --- were conducive to group living and hanging out. (I loved the concrete kitchen counters and the island!) The art work, throw pillows and rugs, movies, books, little tables, etc, all made for an attractive, cozy space.

During the day, the little outside pavilion was breezy and cool, perfect for spending hours reading. The hammock, in the little driveway, was equally lovely. The flowers and plants were lush.

We spent our week exploring the island by day, sleeping in (the children did, anyway -- the roosters were too loud for this light sleeper!) and relaxing, watching movies, and reading. Favorite spots: exploring the sugar cane ruins (read up about it first --- there's an excellent youtube tour we found after the fact), snorkeling out along Mosquito Pier (go UNDER the piers) Playa Negra, Playa Caracas (red beach). We weren't successful in finding coral and then locals told us that Maria wiped out/damaged it. It is just beginning to come back now.

We brought in our own food and supplemented from the grocery store in Isabel Segunda and the little colmados. A couple things to improve upon: the blender lid was brittle and cracked (flaking off) so we pressed a regular tuperware lid on top when blending drinks. The cheese grater was plastic and flimsy, so we used a knife instead. There were only two wash clothes for the six of us, and only two dishtowels. I'm sure I could've asked Michelle about these things and she would've fixed them --- when we inquired about laundry detergent, she immediately brought some for us, and when we asked about blankets for the children's beds, she brought over a couple throw blankets --- but we just made-do and it was fine. (The internet was spotty --- we brought our own hotspot but Verizon didn't work there --- and the firestick appeared broken. We didn't address the problems, though. There was plenty of other stuff to do!)

(Two things to note: the driveway for off-street parking has a very steep incline and our minivan scraped violently every time we passed over it. We took to parking on the street during the day and only bringing it in at night. Also, after my husband and daughter got zapped from both the indoor and outdoor showers, we unplugged the hot water.)

We had a lovely time at Casa Esperanza and highly recommend it!!!
