Paul and Gwen’s place was clean and lovely, and a central location between both towns. Paul was extremely communicative and provided helpful suggestions about the island when I asked. Two things I wished I knew before I booked: I thought you’d be able to access the beaches within 1/4 mile and we could just walk, but you definitely need a vehicle. The listing does say it’s 1/4 mile to the entrance to the reserve (which is accurate), so just be aware if you’re hoping you can walk to most places. I would say this is the case for the island regardless of where you stay, though, and Paul let us rent his vehicle, which was perfect for the roads and very convenient. Second, the home is just off the main road that seems to go through the whole island, including both towns. This made it easy to get to both towns (with a vehicle), but also could be a little noisy at night. Because this is a main road, I think anyone staying in the island would likely hear the cars - it’s not specific to Paul and Gwen’s place - so I’d just advise to bring ear plugs for anyone visiting Vieques if you’re a sensitive sleeper (I slept fine but my husband had some trouble).
Especially for this the cost and convenience, this is a great place to stay on the island and Paul was a gracious host (even dropped us off at the airport for free!). I would definitely recommend Jak’s too for the bio bay tour, and of course Caracas and the other beaches - it’s like you’re in the Corona commercials :) Enjoy your stay!
