About this property
Luxury Eco-Friendly Villa with Stunning Pool and View
Spectacular views of the Caribbean greet you as you walk through the gated entry of this private tropical estate. Beautifully landscaped grounds provide a peaceful sanctuary to enjoy the breathtaking views from both levels of this large two story villa. Inside, the 5 double doors open to the pool area, making for seamless indoor/outdoor living. Villa Destino also boasts a state of the art solar energy system featuring the Tesla Powerwall II Battery. This is to ensure that our guests have consistent and reliable eco-friendly power during their stay.
ABOUT THE SPACE
The first floor features a well-appointed kitchen, living room, indoor and outdoor dining and full bath, all open to the 30 foot pool. The upper level has 3 bedrooms, each with its own full bath. Also on the second floor is a den/study for watching movies or lounging with a book, and a generous covered porch that provides a peaceful place to enjoy the incredible views. The covered porch leads to the garden terrace where you will find a secluded tropical garden with banana and papaya trees.
Our 3 bedroom villa is designed to comfortably sleep up to 6 people.
Main Guest Room
The large main suite has a queen bed, ensuite bathroom and french doors leading to the private garden terrace.
Second Guest Room
The second guest room with Queen bed and ensuite bath offers dramatic Caribbean views.
Third Guestroom
The large third guest room has a private bath and includes a king-size bed (which can also be set up as 2 twins), a separate sitting room with sofa that converts to sleeping space, and views of the Caribbean and pool area.
Villa Destino has all of the amenities you would expect to find in a luxury rental including a gated motor court with security camera*, Wi-Fi, flat screen satellite tv, quality appliances, four burner gas outdoor grill, washer/dryer, and so much more. It also has everything you need to enjoy Vieques' spectacular beaches . . . plush beach towels, beach umbrella and 6 beach chairs, coolers, toys, and some snorkeling equipment.

We suggest you secure your rental car as soon as possible as they do run out during busy months.

* Please note the outdoor security camera overlooks the motor court, electronic gate and street for security purposes.
** Once you reserve, we will send you a link to our rental agreement which must to completed within 48 hours of booking.

About the host
Hosted by Mary Kay Lee
When we moved to Wisconsin in 1998, we started visiting the Caribbean to escape the cold winters and enjoy the serenity and beauty of the beaches. During our many visits, mainly to the US Virgin Islands, we started dreaming of owning a vacation home in the Caribbean. Then, in 2014, we visited Vieques for the first time, fell in love with the island, and knew the time was right to make our dream come true. We started looking at homes for sale during that very first trip, and purchased Villa Destino one year later in March 2015. Since that time, we have come to appreciate the many things that make Vieques such a special place. From the incredible bio-luminescent bay, to the spectacular beaches in the National Wildlife Refuge, to the wild horses that roam the island, Vieques is a true vacation destination. We want Villa Destino to be a special place on this special island... and we are off to a good start as Villa Destino has received the highest 5-Star "Exceptional" rating based on guest reviews. We will continue to do everything possible to make sure that these high standards are maintained.
Why they chose this property
Vieques is a beautiful unspoiled Caribbean island. The harder choice was which side of the island was better suited for the perfect vacation experience. Initially, we were tempted to buy a house in the Bravos de Boston neighborhood, where most of the vacation rentals are located. These properties are generally situated on the north side of the island (Atlantic Ocean side) close to the ferry and the main town of Isabel Segunda. While the Bravos de Boston neighborhood is relatively close to the water, the area is more congested and the north shore beaches are not very good for swimming because of the waves and rocky shoreline. During our visits to the island, we learned that the best swimming beaches are located in the 18,000 acre National Wildlife Refuge on the south side of the island (Caribbean side). Imagine calm blue and turquoise waters and miles of remote white sand beaches. Villa Destino sits on the edge of the wildlife refuge overlooking the south side of the island and it is perfectly positioned to take advantage of these breathtaking views. Even better, it is just a short 2-3 minute drive to the entrance to the wildlife refuge.
What makes this property unique
What is truly unique about Villa Destino is that the villa opens to the outdoors on both levels and allows you to really enjoy the warm tropical breezes, sparkling pool, vibrant gardens and abundant sunshine, whether indoors or out.
Villa Destino has also installed a state of the art solar energy system featuring two Tesla Powerwall II Batteries. With minimal energy conservation practices ,Villa Destino is able to run completely off grid. However, the property remains connected to the grid to offer back up energy when needed.
Villa Destino provides an incredible luxury experience at a fraction of the cost of a stay at a hotel or other high end vacation home. When you consider that Villa Destino has its own private pool, incredible views, private gardens, full amenities, with better access to the south side beaches, Villa Destino is an easy choice.
