RAVENS NESTBESKRIVNING

PERFEKTION PÅ CULEBRA ISLAND ......... GORGEOUS CARIBBEAN ARCHITECTURE.
HUS MED POOL PÅ EN EN AKTISK WEBBPLATS MED OBESKRIVBARA VISNINGAR.
Fyra (4) sovrum och fyra (4) badrum på mycket privat 1 acre inställning.
CASUAL ELEGANCE OCH FANTASTISK utomhuslevande med pool, patio och täckt PORCH.
TERRIFIC OCEAN BREEZES. OCH STÄNG TILL STAD OCH STRANDAR!
ALL MÖBLER ÄR MER NY. OTROLIG, LJUS OCH FERSK!

KONTROLLERA VIDEOEN AV DEN PANORAMISKA UTSIKTEN FRÅN LANAI ... ETT BITT AV HANDELVIND som blåser den dagen! (Klicka på videosymbolen högst upp på sidan).

Vårt hem ligger högt på sluttningen ovanför Punta Melones Beach, med utsikt över bukten i öster och havet i söder och väster. Husets läge ger dig de kylande vindarna i Karibien och utsikten från soluppgång till solnedgång.
Eftersom detta är vår familjs andra hem har vi tagit särskild försiktighet för att göra det mycket bekvämt och estetiskt tilltalande. Den öppna planlösningen på insidan såväl som utanför bostadsområden möjliggör verklig avkoppling. Eftersom vi är designers har vi tagit med oss fantastiska originalverk till huset och kvaliteten på inredningen är kompromisslös.
Varje rum har en takfläkt så att du kan sova till havets ljud och vakna till fågelsång. Men om du känner behov är alla sovrummen luftkonditionerade för extra komfort.

KÖK:
Köket är ett anpassat kockskök med apparater på topp. Propan spis har två ugnar en liten och en stor för olika matlagning behov. Ovanför ugnen finns en mikrovågsugn / avgasfläkt. Den stora kapaciteten sida vid sida kyl / frys rymmer tillräckligt för att hålla familjen lycklig och kompletteras med en vattenbehållare och en ismaskin. Det finns ett överflöd av skåp som innehåller allt som behövs. Körsbärsträet och de kaklade brickorna skapar en professionell look som endast överträffas av det vackra köksredskapet Le Creuset och Revere och de ofördelbara Cabo-diskarna och glasvarorna är alla lätta att tvätta i den rostfria diskmaskinen. Förutom alla redskap som krävs för att laga mat finns det ett nyfylldt kryddstativ och i allmänhet grunderna som olivolja etc. Vårt barnbarn Oscar Waldman målade scenen för Cayo Norte när han besökte i julen.
Av köket finns tvättstuga och kvastskåp. Tvättmaskinen / torktumlaren är avsedd för din användning och har små belastningar.

FAMILJLIVSOMRÅDE:
Sittplatsen är väldigt avslappnad med en Seagrass-soffa fylld med kastkuddar. Fyra stolar, två fåtöljer av teak i Ceylon och två Seagrass-vingstolar, lägg till samtalet eller TV-tittande beroende på dina önskemål. Om du behöver fler sittplatser finns det två Sanibel-bänkar i entrén som kan vara mångsidig. Det finns unika sidobord av kompass- och repspolar och massor av intressant belysning. Stillebenoljemålningen av blommor av Elizabeth Congdon är en slående kontrast till de subtila färgerna på klädseln. Sony TV har surroundljud, en DVD-spelare och med disk-TV finns också Sirius Radio. Den franska dörrenheten lägger till lätt och tvärventilation för en underbar sval plats i skuggan.

MATPLATS:
Det stora rustika tallskörden bordet är omgiven av blå och solbrända bistro stolar och det finns två extra bänkpallar så att du kan hålla kocken företaget eller plats barnen där för att äta. På väggen är en underbar målning av päron av Katie Trinkle-Legg. De två franska dörrenheterna lägger till så mycket kylningsbris att du kanske finner det nödvändigt att stänga dem vid måltid.

MASTER SUITE:
King size West Indies himmelsäng ristad för att se ut som bambu, med två Barbados ungkarl kistor, är centrum i rummet. De två olivmålningarna för varvscenar av David Lazarus och San Juan's Butterfly People-konstbox skapar ett underbart rum att vakna upp i. Utsikten från ena sidan är trädgården och den andra är havet.
Det finns ett stort garderobsområde när du kommer in i rummet.
Badrummet är helkaklat med en tvättställ med dubbla handfat med dörrar och lådor för förvaring. Duschvandringen är komplett med en tvål- och schampohylla, en kaklad bänk och fönster med havsutsikt.

GUEST SUITE:
Havanna mahogny himmelsäng i king size-format har intrikata vända ben och två Islandia ungkarlkistor på vardera sidan. De mörka inramade blommiga oljemålningarna och dorierna mittemot sängen kompletterar utsikten ut genom fönstret mot havet.
Det finns en garderob i rummet.
Badrummet är kaklat och fåfänga har lådor och en dörr för alla dina behov. Fönstret ser ut mot havet. Duschvandringen har schampo och tvålhylla.

BUNKRUM:
Två uppsättningar med naturligt färdiga lönn våningssängar, med klipp på lampor för efter mörk läsning. Det finns en garderob och två whickerbyråer. De stora fönstren har utsikt över trädgården. Djurens tryck på väggarna är lite dårskap.

BAD TILL HALLEN:
Kakel- och glasdörr gör duschen i detta badrum unik. Fåfänga har lådor och en dörr och toppen är kaklad. Det finns till och med en havsutsikt över hallen målad av Loretta Loder.

LANAI DINING AREA:
Det vitkalkade bordet och stolarna i Ceylon är anordnade för utsikten och vinden i öster och söder. Stolarna är dämpade för komfort. Sittplatser för 6.
Det finns en Weber-rostfri propangrill och verktygen för BBQ.

LANAI SEATING OMRÅDE:
Det här är min favoritplats att sitta på morgonen och ta mitt kaffe och titta på fåglarna, båtarna eller läsa. På kvällen kan du titta på solnedgången och underhålla bekvämt på de dämpade fåtöljer och ottomans. Sittplatser för 6.

NEDT EXTERIOR TRAPPEN TILL POOLSIDE SOVRUM SUITE:
Queen size Adeline trä säng och asiatiska hand snidade ungkarl kistor. Blommavtryck, en nyckfull metallspegel och fönstret över havet fullbordar rummet.
Badrummet är kaklat och fåfänga har lådor och en dörr för förvaring. Fönstret ser ut mot havet. Duschvandringen har schampo och tvålhylla.
Skåpet är lämpligt för två.

SIMBASSÄNG:
Poolen är 8 'x 40' inbyggd i sluttningen och ger en underbar utsikt över havet, Vieques Island och Cayo Luis Pena. Koppla av i schäslongerna, äta vid det runda kafébordet eller sitta i svängbara stolarna. Den frodiga tropiska vegetationen och två stora paraplyer håller dig i skugga när som helst på dygnet.

Utomhus-dusch:
Du uppmuntras att tvätta bort salt och sandiga fötter innan du går in i poolen eller huset.

Vi installerade två elektriska muskitfällor: EN PÅ LANAI OCH EN NED AV POOLEN.

Perfect location; too many bugs

This house is in a perfect location with an amazing view. The beds are very comfortable and there are no noisy neighbors. The house needs major updates to prevent bugs and lizards from entering. The windows have gaps and some screens have holes as well. We don’t mind critters, but these bugs bite. Also, the house is not clean and the washing machine does not drain.

Awesome views

Nice family home with room for everyone. Kitchen has everything you need plus a few extras. Pool with incredible views day and during the full moon. Close enough to town and beaches. Bring bug spray as those critters are relentless. The only concern is the house needs a really good spring cleaning and all the screens need fixing and scrubbing Might help with the bugs and critters getting in.

Sibling Getaway

The Raven's Nest property is fantastic. The house was designed with sweeping views of the ocean and Ensenada Bay, viewed from the porch, living room and bedrooms. Its location is close to town in case you need something, but also far enough away to where you can unwind. The kitchen is very well stocked for those who like to cook their meals. The pool made for a relaxing area to gather, either before or after visiting the islands beautiful beaches. The furniture and beds were super comfortable and the wall were decorated with beautiful art work. Our guest group included two siblings with partners and there was plenty of room to gather but also space for alone time. A third sibling and partner visited for evening meals. It was a wonderful place for a long needed sibling getaway.

Amazing location and amazing house!

Culebra is such a beautiful island and this house does it Justice! The views are breathtaking, even from most rooms. The terrace is perfect for both sunrise snd sunsets. The house is well made and well kept. Super comfy beds. Kitchen is the best equipped house we have stayed in any house share program. Also provided beach towels, chairs etc which made our stay even more comfy. Their guide book is also very complete! I was so suprise with everything with Valerie and her house. The whole family enjoyed it, littles and not si little ones. We so enjoyed our stay and magical culebra!

Beautiful views in Culebra

We loved a ton of things about the property: spectacular views of the ocean and sunset from the upper deck, a small but nice pool, a very nicely equipped kitchen, and lots of space to spread out or hang out together. The owner and property manager were helpful and communicative. Culebra itself also played a starring role of course!A few things to note:1. There were a ton of mosquitoes during our visit, mostly outside the house but seemingly unavoidably some inside as well. Countermeasures mitigated but did not eliminate this perpetual annoyance.2. A golf cart will not cut it. Don’t even think about a bike unless you’re Lance Armstrong. You will need a Bronco or similar. However if in good shape and not carrying much the hill is walkable.3. To be a good citizen and guest, you’ll need to limit your water usage. Culebra is an isolated island with limited supplies.4. We suffered through brief blackouts (Puerto Rico-wide) and water outages (due to maintenance worker negligence; quickly corrected once diagnosed). These exact events are of course unlikely to repeat on your visit, but stuff happens.Still, we had a wonderful visit and would not hesitate to recommend the place to anyone comfortable with the issues noted.

The views! The pool!

We are frequent travelers and would rate Raven's Nest as one of the nicest, best located, and real value of all the places we have stayed. We were a family group of eight and found everything to be to terrific. We spent hours on the " L" shaped gigantic deck overlooking downtown Dewey (watching the ferry arrive and depart), Luis Pena, and the entire length of Vieques, as well as Ceiba on mainland Puerto Rico. The house is very clean, modern,and had everything we needed to feel at home (if we had a pool! and those views at home!). The beach towels, the beach chairs & cooler were an incredible plus! It's very close to snorkeling & swimming at Melones beach and very near (by jeep) to downtown Dewey. Communication was great with the owner as well. LOOK no further, BOOK NOW.

Beautiful house and great location

My family of seven adults spent a wonderful week at the Raven's Nest. The house is just like it looks in the photos - beautiful! The view from the veranda was amazing and the breeze kept the bugs away so we could sit outside all evening. We explored and snorkeled at different beaches every day, including Culebrita and Luis Pena. Culebrita is definitely worth a boat ride over, I think the beach is the prettiest one in the Caribbean. We usually picked up a late lunch at Pan Deli and took it back to Raven's Nest ( FYI, they close at 3:00 and we just barely made it on many days). Late afternoons were spent on the veranda or in the pool at Raven's Nest. The house is not far from the town of Dewey which made it convenient to run to the local grocery store, Colmado Milka, for dinner and breakfast supplies. All in all, this is one of the best places we have stayed and will definitely return.

So great to be back!

Two years away from both Villa Raven’s Nest and Culebra was too long. We were so excited to get back after the hurricanes and see that the villa and the island had weathered the storms without major damage. While there are many businesses just beginning to reopen the island is as beautiful as ever and the beaches are still the best. We had an amazing time snorkeling with the turtles fish and coral, exploring new areas of the island, beach combing, body surfing Flamenco and Zoni, just chilling at home, playing in the pool, discovering new businesses and seeing the damage from the hurricanes. The house is the most perfect place to relax, that view will never get old and my morning coffee is not the same anywhere else. I could have used at least another two weeks there but we sadly had to return to work and school but we will make sure we don’t go another two years before returning. The island really needs you so please help them and chose Culebra for your next vacation.

Great location, views, and amenities. Clean, roomy, comfy, and well appointed

Just back from nine nights at Raven’s Nest with my wife and two other couples. The property is as advertised: offers amazing 180-degree unobstructed ocean views, a wonderful, welcome breeze from the veranda, and a spa-like outdoor pool setting. The kitchen is well appointed, and the dining area offers plent of seating for a large family or group. Living room area was comfortable (though the couch is not ideal for napping), and the entertainment system is a nice touch for relaxing at home. Other highlights our group were particularly pleased with included the outdoor grill, outdoor shower for post-beach rinse, beach chairs and umbrellas, cooler, and clean drinking water from the tap. Comfy seating on the veranda, interesting art on the walls, large and clean bathrooms, plenty of plates, glasses, cookware and counter space were also notable. The location is ideal: convenient for a quick trip to the store or shops, but far enough away so that you have complete privacy and quiet. Book your Jeep and your stay at Raven’s Nest today, you won’t be disappointed. We would (and likely will) absolutely return again some day. FInally, the owners, booking procedure, and check-in/out were easy and pleasant. The local property manager is super friendly and helpful. The deposit is certainly warranted given the quality of the property, and was promptly returned after check-out. I recommend this property. Go visit Culebra and experience next-level beaching!!

Beautiful home in an ideal location!

Our family of six adults stayed at the Raven's Nest for two weeks. This was our fourth visit to Culebra and absolutely the best home we have stayed in. The Raven's nest is not just your typical vacation rental. It is truly a home away from home. The home was even more beautiful than the pictures can express. The location is only a mile from town but it is tucked away on the top of a mountain overlooking both Ensenada Honda and the open ocean. The temps stayed in the low 80's the entire time we were there but the breeze blew and we were never too hot. We didn't even have to use the air conditioning in the upstairs bedrooms. Our favorite spot in the morning and evening was the lovely porch where we read books and took in the stunning view. Having a pool at our villa was an added bonus! If you like to cook you will be pleasantly surprised to find a wide assortment of pots and pans, plenty of dishes, glasses and cutlery, a gas stove and a dishwasher!!! Even the knives made us happy as they were very sharp! Oh, and the water in the house is drinkable as there is a filtration system. No buying water! The beds were comfy, and the linens and towels were first rate. We love Culebra and all of the gorgeous beaches! You will love staying at the Raven's nest! The owner, Valerie, was very friendly, kind and informative about Culebra. Thank you for renting us this wonderful home. Sincerely, Kathryn

Spectacular home WAY off the beaten path

Raven's Nest sits high on a hill with jawdropping views to both sunrises and sunsets. We spent countless hours with a coffee or a cocktail watching the boats from the lanai, as our teenagers hung out in the pool or chilling by themselves in one of the many comfortable spots. Keep in mind, this is a real island, not like the tourist islands where the cruise ships land. Getting around the island is roughing it by comparison. You can get some fine dining, but the best part of Culebra is being with the locals and doing what they do; eat in town and go to the beach. While arranging this vacation, which happened to occur during Holy Week, I had some doubts about whether everything would come together. But with the owner's advice and recommendations, our travel came off without a hitch, and we enjoyed an amazing stay at this gorgeous place. This must be one of the best properties on the island. But listen. This is an island. There will be critters. There will be a different style of amenity. But the bedrooms are individually air conditioned and very very comfortable, and you'll have everything you need to enjoy yourself. Every time we wished we had something, we opened a closet and there it was. Beach chairs, umbrella. Here's a travel cooler. Here's a couple of canvas beach bags. Here's the pool guy to clean the filters. Here's a WORKING ice maker for once! World class snorkeling at the bottom of the hill (a 7-minute walk, IF you want to walk back up it). I could go on and on.

Culebra is Magical and the Raven's Nest is Beyond Expectations!

What can I say...the Raven's Nest is absolutely wonderful! Our party of 10 filled it to capacity, but not once did any of us feel we were crowded. The shared spaces - living room, kitchen, lanai/deck area are spacious and so comfortable! The pool is absolutely a fantastic edition to this house! Early mornings on the Lanai sipping coffee watching the sunrise to the East, then a quick drive to the bottom of the hill you are on Melones Beach (which has one of the best snorkeling spots on the island). By mid-morning head out to the the beach of the day (my favorite is Zoni). Spend the day playing in the waves. Grab a bite for a late lunch (Zacos Tacos is delish), then back to the house for late afternoon pool time accompanied by your preferred cocktail of choice (with Rum, of course). Watching the bright blue ocean waves sing and dance from the comfort of your poolside lounge chair - it's perfect. And closing out the day with a finale performance from the sun as it slips beyond the horizon from the west. Dinner at home is easy-peasy - this kitchen is well-equipped, anyone with cooking in their blood would be impressed the cookware, cutlery, and appliances. All but one of our dinners were enjoyed from the comfort of the Raven's Nest! And the Grill!!! What can I say - everyone loves food that has been grilled! My husband and I first came to Culebra 3 years ago on a whim, and quickly fell in love...hurricane Maria left her scars on parts of the island, but she was not able to steal the magic of this enchanted place. We will not be waiting 3 years to return again...and when we do - we will be requesting to spend our stay at the Raven's Nest - thank you Valerie and Rick for sharing your home with my family!

Paradise in Culebra

What an amazing week we had!!! The owners were so wonderful to work with and we appreciated their lovely appointed property. The views were spectacular and we enjoyed them over coffee every morning and enjoyed dining alfresco at the outdoor dining table. Every night we would sit and watch the lights of Vieques and look out at the unbelievable stars. The bedrooms had soft sheets and comfortable mattresses and they had refreshing air conditioners as well. My children loved the bunk room and my mother in law wished she had the same mattress at home for the comfort it gave. The abundance of bathrooms made for a relaxed time— not having to share with my mother in law or children makes for a great vacation. The artwork throughout the house made the home feel so personal. I really enjoyed looking at each piece and you definitely felt like you really were staying at a friend’s home instead of a vacation rental. We loved the spacious kitchen and cooked most breakfasts and a few dinners - it was so helpful to have all the things we needed including a dishwasher! The pool was also wonderful— loved how it was down the staircase and the kids weren’t tempted to get in every time they saw it. This house is the idea set up for families. While we didn’t need or use the room off the pool, it would have been perfect had we brought a babysitter or an additional set of grandparents— maybe next time we will! Of course the beaches and snorkeling in Culebra were awesome- it was nice to shower off the sand in the outdoor shower after each adventure. The location was also ideal— we could be snorkeling from Melones in 5 minutes, or super close to town to pick up a pizza from a Heather’s. But— also removed from noises and the only thing you look out and see is stunning landscape. I only wish we had stayed longer. I can’t wait to plan our next trip back to Raven’s Nest. It’s the perfect property for us.

Fabulous

Raven’s Nest was a perfect place to stay on Culebra with my husband and our friends. The setup of 2 master suites made for equal comfort for both couples. The property provides spectacular views from the wrap around porch with the trade winds providing comfortable breezes all day no evening. The kitchen is well stocked to make meals at home occasionally an easy and enjoyable task. The decor is tasteful and comfortable. Most places on Culebra are a short drive, but it was nice to be close to town for access to restaurants and shopping while still being far enough away to give you the essence of privacy.

Great House Great Island

Loved the house. Perfect for our family gathering. The island has so many beaches to explore. Would highly recommend. And yes, you need a jeep to get to the house due to rough pavement - not golf cart territory.

AMAZING Vacation!!!

The minute you walk into Playa Sardines your mouth will drop open with the view. The pool was outstanding, refreshing after swimming/snorkeling at the beach at the bottom of the hill. We saw turtles and all kinds of fish at Melones Beach. There were 5 adults, beautiful bedrooms with really comfortable bedding. We cooked in 3 nights and ate out the rest of the week. Our favorite restaurants were Susie’s #1 (you need a reservation), Harspoons #2 (also reservations), Dingy Dock #3, very busy place go early. We spent our mornings gazing out onto the beautiful blue waters. You are going to LOVE this vacation home, we’ve rented a lot of homes and this one is at the top. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home Valerie.

Another great vacation in paradise!

This was our 15th year vacationing in Culebra! Our stay at Raven's Nest exceeded our expectations! Their were 4 couples in our group and we found the house most accommodating. The view and breezes from the front porch were amazing!! The property is beautifully landscaped and the interior tastefully decorated. Great memories!!

Great experience!

My family and I had a wonderful stay. We loved our time enjoying the breeze and spectacular views from the porch overlooking the pool and the Caribbean Sea. Highly recommend.

Fantastic villa!

Our extended family of 7 (three generations) just returned from an enjoyable week in Culebra. This lovely house was even better than we expected! The best part about it is the huge shaded deck that wraps around two sides of the house - south-facing and deep, with overhanging roof, there was lots of shade on the deck no matter the time of day. We had fantastic views of the sunset and sunrise from the deck, as it is perfectly situated and high on a hill overlooking the ocean towards Vieques, and several bays. The inside and outside of the villa are entirely on one level, except for the queen (4th) bedroom and pool which are down a flight of steps; this made it easy for the two elderly members of our family to move around comfortably and enjoy the whole house and deck. The inside living-dining area is larger than the pictures make it appear. The large tables outside and inside made family meals enjoyable. The kitchen is fully-equipped with high-quality pans and utensils, spices, and serving dishes - and a large grill on the deck- everything you could want, and much more than the usual rental villa offers. The furnishings throughout the home are of very high quality and beautiful. The décor is tasteful and simple. The artwork is lovely and adds to the beauty of the villa. The bedrooms are spacious and quiet, with good cross-breezes and ceiling fans (there is A/C in all of them but we did not need it). The linens are high-quality, and the house is well-maintained and was spotless when we arrived. Each bedroom has it's own nice bathroom with shower, so we never felt cramped. The pool was refreshing and the teenagers in our group spent a lot of time there. Although some people rent golf carts to get around the island, you will want to make sure you are able to rent a jeep to get up the steep hill to the villa, as carts are not allowed and are not safe on the hill. The location is well worth it for the incredible views, however. Our best snorkeling was off Melones Beach directly below the villa, and the town, with its numerous restaurants, 2 grocery stores, and bakery, was only 5 minutes away. I highly recommend this villa and Culebra for a relaxing vacation. The owner Valerie, and the housekeeper/property manager Jessie, were both extremely helpful in making sure that our stay went smoothly.

Om värden

Valerie & Richard Norton är värd

Värdens profilbild
We live on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts and have a family business of architectural design, construction and property management. We have rented homes throughout the U.S. through VRBO and in addition to our second home on Culebra we have a family cottage on the beach in Nantucket that we rent.

Varför värden valde detta boende

Raven's Nest was purchased in March 2014 as our family's second home after traveling to the island twice for vacation.. We have four grandsons and we wanted to be able to have family get-togethers here on Culebra. You will find the house is not furnished solely as a rental property but as a place where we can all meet and feel as comfortable as our home on Nantucket.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

We decided on this house because we are craftsman and we appreciate all the beautiful features that really make this house special. The well built structure, high wooden ceilings, the large ell shaped porch, the exotic plant life, incredible swimming pool with patio and the most important part of the house is that VIEW!
