About this property

Located on Vieques, PR Pool, Panoramic Ocean Views & 5-minute Walk To The Beach!

Luxury villa located on the island of Vieques, 10 miles southeast of the main island of Puerto Rico. The villa offers spectacular ocean views and modern accommodations with 5 deluxe bedrooms on 2 ocean-view levels that is fully equipped and great for large groups. Beautiful pool with ocean views from both the pool deck and within the pool! A terrace on the upper level has an additional living and dining area with sweeping views of St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, and Culebra. There is always a lovely breeze blowing and at night the other islands sparkle in the near distance.

Hilltop Hacienda is less than a 5-minute walk to quiet, secluded Bastimento beach where wild horses often roam. Take your morning coffee or practice your yoga down there, but be sure to return for the spectacular sunsets over the water, which can also be seen from the villa.

There are fully-equipped kitchens and a television on the downstairs living room as well as wi-fi. All 5 bedrooms have split-unit air conditioners and there is a washer/dryer on premises. Beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and towels are all available for your daily adventures.

The villa is in a very quiet section of Vieques -- you will not hear roosters crowing! However, town is merely 2 miles away and the famous unspoiled, white crescent beaches on the south side of the island are reachable in a 10 or 15-minute drive.

Picture yourself enjoying the villa's "million-dollar" views as a warm Caribbean breeze blows through the coconut palms, bougainvillea and hibiscus that surround the property. The perfect Caribbean getaway!

Felt right at home

Cozy, comfy and very pretty. This house was perfect for our 3 couples. We enjoyed the pool, the nearby beach for sea glass hunting, the snorkeling equipment, the view (!), the board games, grilling etc! Something for everyone!Sean was super helpful and friendly and we’d definitely stay here again if we return to Vieques.

Sibling gathering

Great house that served our family of eight adults well. Beautiful view from the upstairs porch. Nice deck and pool on lower level (albeit, no view unfortunately). This is two separate units, so to go between you go outside. Not a big deal given the climate and provided some nice privacy when needed. Sean kindly met us at the ferry to take us to the home. He was responsive with some issues with leakage and one non-working fan, coming within 2 days to fix.The kitchens are well stocked and the downstairs kitchen and dining areas are ample for a large group. There is some snorkel gear, beach chairs and towels for beach going. The beach below the house is lovely for short walks, and an occasional dip depending on the tide and wind. All in all, a great stay.

Wnderful views of the north coast of Vieques

My family enjoyed pool and the ready access to the beach (two block walk). Access to either Isabella II and Esperanza was fairly easy. Along with all of the beaches on both north and south sides of the islsnd. I would avoid visiting the "bunkers" - expected WWII military bunkers, not storage bunkers.

Hilltop hacienda was magnificent! The location was super convenient to get into Isabel Segundo and a short walk to the beach. Very quiet and the air conditioning in the bedrooms was fantastic. The patio overlooking the pool was so nice. Can’t wait to come back! Sean was super responsive before and during our stay.

Awesome house!

We were three couples on vacation together and this house couldn’t have been more perfect! The large kitchen downstairs was great for cooking up food, the upper deck was a great lounge spot, the pool and washer and dryer were bonuses and of course the icing on the cake was the ocean and sea breeze! Bastimento beach was a fun beach to explore and beach comb. Sean even had snorkels and water shoes for us to use and we did! We’d definitely come back! Bring bug spray; if you’ve got sweet blood you’ll get hit in the mornings and evenings!

amazing location and home

My family and I love our stay Villa Borinquen! Everything was provided for us - beach towels, chairs, snorkeling equipment as well as everything in the kitchen. The location was perfect, just a quick walk to an amazing beach - so much sea glass! There was a bit of a hiccup when we checked in but all was taken care of fairly quickly. Just be sure to stay in contact with the owner. He was very nice and made sure we felt welcome ...

Family getaway

Our first trip to Vieques with a family of 10. Sean is an amazing host. He was readily available for suggestions, assistant, and guidance throughout our stay. The upstairs balcony was perfect for the family to hang out with morning coffee and horse watching or evening sunset's. There’s reviews about a farm near by but wasn’t close enough to be a loud enough to bother us. We did have iguana visit and get in the pool but we thought it was quite entertaining. House comes with beach toys, chairs, googles and washer and dryer. The island was delightful and everything with in reasonable distance. Again Sean was super helpful and the home was perfect for a variety of ages.

Great place, host, vacation

My partner and I and our 4 adult kids had a fantastic time in Vieques. We had the whole house so everyone had space. The view from the 2nd floor porch is amazing. The beach is a 5 minute walk. Town is a 5 minute drive. The house is incredibly well equipped--starter provisions, beach chairs, towels, water shoes, dishes, pots and pans. The washer/dryer is so handy. Sean couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. The kids spent a morning surfing with Sean and his friend. Communications were easy, prompt and helpful. We'll definitely be back!

Lovely views and well equipped

We had a great time at the villa. The views are spectacular and the location close to the ferry was convenient. The pool was a great amenity. The house was clean and well equipped. They are basically 2 separate apartments and they don’t connect inside which we didn’t know so keep that in mind when planning especially if there are children. They would have to go outside and walk by the pool to go up and down between the 2 levels. There is a TV only in the downstairs apartment so because we were 2 separate families one family basically didn’t have a TV. Sean has snorkeling equipment and chairs available which were useful. We had a great stay!

Great Week

Our family had a great week in Vieques. The property is in a great location with an amazing breeze blowing most of the time. The evening views were great. We had 3 generations of our family on the trip with us and the house was perfect. Close to beaches, town, gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores. Everything you would need for a great trip. Sean, the property owner was fantastic. He was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, including great recommendations for our stay on the island. Our family created a lot of great memories on our trip, and I would highly recommend this house. Thank you Sean! My 2 girls are gonna be talking about it for a long time. They couldn’t get over waking up to the horses near the beach every morning!

Lovely views marred by some noise issues

This is a simple but lovely villa, featuring nearly a 180-degree view of the Atlantic, cool breezes, and the soothing sounds of pounding surf. We began every day with a walk on the long, nearly-empty beach just a short stroll away. Unfortunately, the other sounds in the neighborhood are less soothing. Several nights we had to close all the windows, turn on the AC, and wear earplugs – and even then, the multiple dogs in the neighborhood (including one next door that is a mere 15 feet from the rear bedrooms) interrupted our sleep. In sum, by day we loved it; at night not so much.

Great house with stunning view and breeze

We loved our time in Vieques at Sean's house. Beautiful home with everything we needed, and a stunning view with a breeze that felt great at all times. As with any place on an island where you open the windows a lot, the house showed evidence of the salty air but, again, that is very normal and what we expected. Sean is a very nice guy, and was super on top of anything we asked or needed of him. He also had great recommendations for local guides and places, which we really appreciated. Also want to note that the wifi/internet was really good /fast overall / definitely good enough to support zoom calls. Sure, it went out for a few hours one day but it was almost certainly an area wide outtage - again something that comes with being on an island like vieques, and our cell service was good enough to create a hotspot. We were able to work remotely when we needed to. Would highly recommend this place

Now THIS is how you visit Vieques!

Hilltop Hacienda was a magical home-base for our couples' beach trip to paradise. The accommodations and hospitality exceeded our wildest expectations, and we can't wait to come back! What the pics here can't show are the sweeping, spectacular ocean views that are visible from just about every inch of this gorgeous home -- views from the on-site private pool, the huge outdoor dining/lounge area, and from the wall-to-wall windows in many of the spacious rooms in both the upper and lower units. Blue ocean everywhere! The units were each discreetly appointed with modern amenities (AC in the bedrooms, flat-screen TVs, washer/dryer, WiFi) that ensured a most comfortable stay -- but the place still had an easy, beachy, away-from-it-all vibe throughout. The perfect balance. We also found everything on-site that we could have possibly needed to enjoy Vieques to the fullest and we were able to jump right in -- coolers and towels for beach days, snorkel gear and fins for exploring the reefs, an awesome BBQ and modern kitchens to make the most of the local fish and farmers markets, and lots of helpful (insider) tips from the awesome hosts. The ambience, the thought put into each detail of the space, the incredible views, the easy access to beaches and local life, and the incredible hosts attending to our every comfort made our visit to Hilltop Hacienda the most wonderful vacation we have ever had.

Well worth the trip

Vieques is an amazing place - a very unique and refreshing spot to get away from the madness of life in the States. The property was great. It’s not the right house if you’re expecting to stay at the Ritz...nothing is on Vieques. It’s simply a great comfortable beach house - beds are solid, place is clean and well equipped for those meals you end up eating at home. The pool is perfect. We have a 6, 10 and 13 year old who all spent a lot of time in it. The beach right down the road is one of the best on the island - and we ventured out to a lot of them. The location of the house was perfect for us...reasonably remote, but close enough to Isabel Segunda, one of the two major towns on the island - the quieter of the two, but still the place for several really good restaurants. Eddie, our host, was way above average throughout our stay. The ferry to Vieques was delayed by five hours and so we were at wits end by the time we finally arrived. He kept in touch with me while we were dealing with the uncertainty of arrival time and then ordered a pizza for us prior to arrival, which was just what we needed when we finally arrived. Eddie also picked up some other essentials for us that made the first several hours less stressful than they could have been. He checked in with us several times throughout our stay... The only negative that we had was with the dog at the house directly behind us. He barked fairly frequently throughout the night which is not what we were hoping for a given that we were there to relax and recharge. A bit of travel advice – the ferry is suspect at best. When it’s running great, it’s worth using; the only problem is that it’s very inconsistent. We were gringo’d out on the way there...Puerto Ricans get priority and the have no problem telling you this fact. There is a way that you can fly from Cieba for $40 per person. My recommendation would be to use this on the way over and then take the ferry back whatever morning you’re leaving. If you’re renting a car, go with the local service. Avis is bad in the States. Worse here. In closing, if you’re looking for unique vacation and you are willing to get off the grid a little, you owe it to yourself to make a trip to Vieques. This place was perfect for us.

About the host

Hosted by Sean O'Brien

Host profile image
I am a fly fishing outfitter in Hamilton, Montana. I discovered Vieques in August 2021. After spending 2 weeks there, I realized Isla Nena is a beautiful and special place. I returned October 2021 and spent the winter through March exploring and falling in love with the island and her people. During that time I became good friends with Edwin, the previous owner of Hilltop Hacienda, and purchased the property from him. Edwin had 38 VRBO reviews with an average rating of 4.8 stars. I am maintaining the villa at that same level of excellence.

I now spend every October through June on Vieques, at a different property. I plan to move to Vieques full time in 2024. Once you visit Vieques it will change your life. Two-thirds of the island is a nature preserve, there is not a single traffic light, and about 3,000 horses wander freely. There are so many deserted beaches and forest-canopied mountain roads, too. But, honestly, more than anything, Vieques is a state of mind. Whether you're walking on her pristine beaches, feeling the refreshing ocean breeze, diving deep in her crystal waters, or smelling the many colorful, fragrant flowers, Vieques helps you to remember what's really important in life . . .

Why they chose this property

Hilltop Hacienda's 180-degree water views are truly stunning. You cannot forget for a moment that you're on a small island surrounded by turquoise seas. The villa's close proximity to the water and its perch high up on a hill keeps it blessed with cooling sea breezes 24/7. Just watching the giant sky roll by, affecting the light and the ever-changing hues of the sea, is thoroughly enthralling. One needn't do more.

Hilltop's pool played a big part in my choosing this property. It's new and beautifully done, finely-tiled and edged by coral stone. There is a built-in seat from which you can see the turquoise water! Plus, I love to stargaze at night and, I must say, there is no better way than on your back floating in a perfectly-temperate pool!

Besides being in excellent condition, Hilltop Hacienda is located in one of Vieques' quieter neighborhoods. Even though the villa is at the far east end of the island, it's a very quick drive to town and an easy and pretty drive to the beaches in the nature preserve and Esperanza. Oh, and the wonderful reviews the prior owners received from their guests had a little something to do with my choice!
