The Reefhouse is a peaceful Caribbean island oceanfront villa. Sleeps 6 comfortably.
In 2024 we finished 18 months of renovations - to add more shade to the deck, all new windows and doors, to add a new ensuite bath and to double the size of the master bedroom. You rent the whole one-level house.
Enjoy sitting on the large patio with the sound of the surf and the rustling palm trees, while watching the local fisherman and sailboats, the ferries, the pelicans skimming the waves, the hummingbirds at the flowers in front of the deck.
There is plenty of seating for outdoors, and comfy outdoor furniture for lazing in. In the evening enjoy the spectacular sunsets with your sundowner.
Often the local horses will wander by. Best to keep the gate closed or you may come back to find them nibbling the grass inside on the lawn!
The garden has a huge mango tree - buckets of mangoes in season; you're welcome to them and also to the coconuts from the trees.
The Reefhouse is decorated in relaxed Caribbean style. This is rented as one house: you will have full privacy. The kitchen is fully equipped.
Good beds with high thread count 100% cotton linens. The living room has a TV, games and a well stocked library.
There are beach towels, beach chairs , a cooler, hair dryers: just bring yourself!
High speed and reliable wifi inside and on the deck (deck has some parts shaded all day and some sunny parts all day).
There are three bedrooms, one queen with ensuite (double walk-in shower) , one queen with ensuite (walk-in shower) and one twin BR with bath and walk-in shower in the hallway beside the bedroom.
The yard with gate has parking for 2 vehicles.
A washer and dryer are available to you in a laundry room on the same level, at the back off the 2nd Q bathroom, or by an outside entrance from the garden. Also clotheslines if you prefer: the breezes dry things quickly.
All three BR's have AC's. And there is always a sea breeze and the sound of the waves.
The ocean is just below the house across a small shore road. On windy days watch the surfers out front. A good small swimming, sunning and snorkeling beach is a 3 minute walk (Lalachita beach).
Vieques has some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. Many are beaches with no structures near them- just sand and palm trees! They are on the former Navy land, a 13-18 minute drive from the Reefhouse. There is also Glass Beach in downtown Isabel, a short walk away, where beach glass is there for the searching, and great beaches for walking close by.
From the Reefhouse, the shops, two bakeries, 2 grocery stores, a great health food store, the bank, bar on the water by the ferry terminal, the lighthouse, the downtown restaurants, and more are an easy meander away (5-15 minutes).
Vieques is easy to get to by a 25 minute plane ride from San Juan, Puerto Rico or by 30 minute ferry ride from Ceiba, Puerto Rico (you take a taxi/ van from the San Juan airport to Ceiba- about 1 hour) Our property manager, Misael, is on call to ensure your stay is problem free. We're happy to answer any questions.
In Vieques there are no traffic lights and no casinos. There are friendly people, wandering horses, beautiful birds, good restaurants, and amazing beaches and nature. Vieques is home to the best bioluminescent bay in the world! Not to be missed.
