About this property

Tropical family haven with pool

Gather the entire family for a vacation so unforgettable, the memories will be shared with your children’s children. From the moment you enter this sunny Puerto Rican retreat, serenity starts to set in. And with ample space for everyone, you can say goodbye to family squabbles, and hello to quality time with your nearest and dearest.

Outside, a charming Morrocan-tiled staircase connects the garden level and second-story units, each with its own sun-drenched living spaces. On the second floor, a hidden gem for book lovers awaits on the mezzanine. Peruse the small library of books, and then settle on the couch with the perfect vacation read.

Younger guests will love the private loft area, equipped with a day bed and plenty of games to spark friendly competition. Loser washes the dinner dishes!

The Casita, with its private entrance, offers a tranquil retreat. This peaceful haven comes with a kitchen, queen-size bed, and a bathroom with a stand-up shower. A convenient office desk and printer sit in the corner for when you need to reconnect with the outside world (or browse Pinterest for tropical cocktail recipes). When you come back from the beach, enjoy a private outdoor shower.

Back in the main house, you’ll be spoiled for dining choices. Both units have full kitchens equipped to whip up family-sized meals. And an array of indoor and outdoor seating means you can choose to eat somewhere different for every meal.

Sip your morning coffee while taking in views from one of the two sun terraces. Cool down with an indoor lunch under the breeze of overhead ceiling fans. As for dinner — who knows? You might even venture out for some restaurant grub if you can convince everyone to leave this heavenly abode.

When it comes to sleeping arrangements, you might have to resort to flipping a coin to decide who sleeps where — there are that many options. Each level’s primary bedroom provides a king-size bed and lots of windows to enjoy the lush tropical views.

The garden level and second-story guest rooms come with twin beds that can be made up as a king, and a further sleeping area in the loft holds twin beds that are perfect for kids.

All of the bedrooms and common areas benefit from new AC mini splits, so there’s no danger of night sweats!

Spacious bathrooms with double vanities can be found in both the garden and second-story units, so everyone can freshen up at their own pace. Large walk-in showers make your beach prep and evening routine a breeze.

But the crowning jewel of this sanctuary is the Moorish-inspired, salt-water pool nestled in the sprawling gardens. Grab a lounge chair and catch some rays from your perch on the sun shelf. It’s perfect for those who want to dip their toes without fully taking the plunge. Plus, it’s a great spot for little ones to splash in shallow water.

Once you’ve achieved the perfect tan, move over to the cabana to take an outdoor shower and sit with your cold beverage of choice and watch the poolside antics from the sidelines.

Beautiful View
We were traveling as 2 families of 4. Both families have a 10 and 12 year old. The pool was amazing! Our kids swam for hours while we sat by the pool and enjoyed the amazing view. The house was very spacious and the kitchens were very well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals.

Best rental ever
We all agreed that this was the nicest place we've ever stayed. The spacious and comfortable house was ample for our group of 7 adults, we loved relaxing at the beautiful pool and outdoor area, cooked most of our meals in the well stocked kitchen(s) and used the grill a lot (which we appreciated even coming with an extra propane tank). Vieques is so beautiful and relaxing, and this was the perfect home base. One thing to be aware if someone in your party is disabled, they may want to sleep in one of the downstairs bedrooms as the stairs to go upstairs are steep and a bit uneven.

Most beautiful house on the island!
This house exceeded our expectations! From the cleanliness to the beautifully maintained property, this house was a 10 out of 10. The house was fully stocked with the necessities (towels, beach items) which made our stay so much easier. Perfect for a family vacation home. And Kristy (our house manager) is a goddess. She checked in on us and served us the best breakfast at her restaurant. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

I'd run out of superlatives to describe our stay at las terrazas and vieques. It was all good. We talk about planning a return visit.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello! I am Kent Newton, the owner of Las Terrazas. My property manager and co-host is Kristy Schwartz
Vieques is a special place for me and I have been visiting for many years. When the opportunity arose to purchase Las Terrazas, I couldn’t pass it up.

I am a big animal lover and have pets of my own that I love to spend time with. I also enjoy cooking and regularly invite friends and family over for dinner parties. Interior design and gardening are passions of mines, and I take great pride in this beautiful vacation home that I am lucky to be able to share with guests.
My dream for the future is to retire here and make Las Terrazas my full-time home. Until then, I are thrilled to offer it as a short-term rental for others to enjoy. I hope you will fall in love with Vieques as I have over the years.

Why they chose this property

The rustic, unspoiled island of Vieques boasts 20 different beaches, each with its own unique character. Sunbay Beach is just a quick five-minute walk from the property, or you can load up the car with the beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, and coolers that are available for your convenience.

Wild horses roam freely on the island, adding to the beauty and magnificence of the area. For a truly magical experience, make sure you book a boat tour across the world’s largest bioluminescent bay. Float serenely across calm waters under a starry sky, and gaze in wonder as microorganisms illuminate the bay with a mesmerizing blue-green glow.

If you’re feeling adventurous, saddle up with Esperanza Riding Company for a horseback tour. Abe’s Snorkeling and Biobay Tours offer snorkeling excursions, and Marauder Sailing Charters will let you embrace your inner pirate – eyepatch not included.

When it comes to dining options, you won’t be disappointed. El Quenepo is just steps from the beach, offering fine dining with views of the Caribbean Sea. Visit Coqui Fire Cafe for a warm and welcoming atmosphere serving up delicious Mexican Cuisine, or Placita for authentic Puerto Rican dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

What makes this property unique

At Las Terrazas, we're all about convenience with a sprinkle of island charm. That's why we've got a washer/dryer unit ready for your sandy swimsuits and impromptu salsa spills.

And because we value your peace of mind as much as you do, the property is securely gated, complete with a state-of-the-art security system and discreet outdoor perimeter cameras. Inside, we're safety savvy too, with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits. But in the event of an emergency, please dial 911.

While we love fun and games at Las Terrazas, we have to draw the line somewhere: no bachelor or bachelorette parties. And although we adore furry friends and smoky flavors, we ask that you leave your pets and cigarettes at home — it helps keep the space pristine for you and future guests.
