About the host

Hosted by Sarah Carter

Host profile image
We are a retired couple living in Boston, but we like to spend our winter months in Vieques. Mark is quite a sportsman who likes to swim, sail, row, and play tennis and golf. He travels once a week to play at one of the many great courses on the main island. Sarah enjoys taking walks on the beach and sitting in the shade reading, cooled by the soft Caribbean breezes. We both enjoy entertaining and have made some good friends since we have been here. We enjoy meeting new people and telling them some of the amazing experiences to be had on Vieques.

Why they chose this property

EcoCasa is located in the Bravos de Boston neighborhood, up the hill from the ferry in Isabel Segunda. It is a five-minute walk to town where you will find restaurants, grocery stores, clothing boutiques, art galleries, aqua equipment rental stores, a pharmacy and several souvenir shops. A couple of small secret beaches are a five - ten-minute walk away, and it is a short ride to the ‘Nature Preserve’ where most of the beautiful beaches are located… and there are plenty of them. It is not unusual to have a cove with ¼ mile beach all to yourself.

What makes this property unique

Mark is an architect with 50+ years of experience in high profile international design. In his retirement he has enjoyed designing limited environmentally sensitive residential both in Vieques and New England. The house, which was finished in late 2022 has a simple but elegant feel, offers commodious living spaces and a breathtakingly beautiful garden. This unit has outdoor terrace with a grill for dining. The eco-friendly design subtly incorporates photovoltaic solar energy (86% of electrical usage), convection cooling breezeways, rainwater capture for watering gardens/car-wash, etc., organic cotton sheets, and clothes lines for drying laundry. With louvered windows, ceilings fans in all rooms, and through ventilation, make it possible to limit use of AC to only the hottest summer months
