About this property

Dos Palmas Casita-1Bdrm,1Ba in Esperanza, Walk to Malecon, Restaurants, Beaches

Sandy Beaches, Tropical Blue Water, Beautiful Weather, currently averaging in the 80*'s

Dos Palmas Casita-1 BDRM for TWO-
1 Bdrm, 1 Ba, Ground Floor Apt. in the small beach side fishing village of Esperanza. A short 1 Block walk to the Malecon, Restaurants, Beaches, Activities, etc.
WIFI and a Smart TV/DVD & Amazon Fire Stick.
Perfect for a couple, or a single traveler, or those on a budget.
A well stocked kitchen if you decide to eat in. Includes a Refrigerator and Freezer, Gas Stove top and Oven, Microwave, Coffee maker, Toaster, Blender, Pots and Pans, and Utensils. Dining table and chairs in kitchen.
The bedroom has a King size bed and additional seating for two.
Bathroom has a nice sized shower, shelves, and a closet for storage.
A/C is available in the bedroom, if needed, and the kitchen and bedroom each have a ceiling fan and floor fans as well.
Bed linens and Bath towels are provided, as well as Beach towels and Beach chairs, and a cooler is available for use, along with snorkel masks and fins
In the rear of the house, which is a common area, in the backyard is a covered gazebo seating area for relaxing, along with a BBQ grill for grilling your favorites, the local catch of the day, or lobsters from the fish market.
Also in the rear of the house, in a private nook is an Outdoor Shower Area surrounded with lush tropical plantings.

Steps away from Lydia's Colmado, (neighborhood market), which is convenient for any small items.
Steps away from everything in Esperanza, as the whole town is easily walkable. A car rental is not necessary, although you may want one to explore the rest of what Vieques has to offer.

Dos Palmas Casita is located in a nice residential neighborhood with great neighbors, a mix of local residents and rental properties.
There are dogs, cats, chickens, horses, coqui, iguanas, and mongoose that freely roam Vieques, and at times the neighborhood as well. You will undoubtedly see and hear several varieties of Vieques wildlife during your stay. It's totally different than our neighborhood in the states, and that's why we love it as we do

TRAVELING TO VIEQUES-
Vieques can seem to be a little daunting to get to at first glance, the good news is that once you do arrive you won't want to leave!
There are several options in traveling from SJU to Vieques, and the price for each can vary greatly. When guests book with us we send them an email detailing the options available, along with the most up to date pricing to help them decide which option would work best depending on their budget and travel times.

Thank You for considering our vacation Casita.

Perfect!
Love the coziness of villa. Had all the necessities and the location was perfect being close to all the activities to walk but quiet from the night life. The onsite property manager was so very helpful and pleasant. The information provided by hosts for directions car rentals, check in, etc. was so much needed and very much appreciated. Will be staying here again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Perfect location!!
The casita was perfect for us. Like many others have mentioned, it is a short walk to the Malecon with its many bars and restaurants. Also just around the corner from a grocery store. Just two rooms, kitchen and bedroom, but it doesn’t feel small. Great front patio for our morning coffee. Off street parking was not available to us because the upstairs was occupied also. The a/c in the bedroom kept us comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Everything for a great stay was available although many of the beach chairs were broken. I would have liked hot water in the bathroom sink for shaving. Would absolutely stay here again.

Misleading
Not as advertised. Found out upon checking in that backyard with grill and outdoor shower were off-limits for our stay. TV in the bedroom of a 2-room apt. Is understandable, if the tv actually works without the help of the owner. AC was unable to maintain less than 76 degrees after the first night. I made 2 requests regarding if there was a secret to getting the tv to work, but owner had other things on her mind I think. She did assist in getting it to work on our last night. We wouldn't return for another stay for half the cost. I'll definitely ask more questions if we elect to use a vrbo facility again.

Lovely stay!
Our stay here was pleasant! We apparently scheduled our vacation during peak hurricane season (our mistake). The rain from tropical storms Danielle and Earl was actually very refreshing. Our stays were in both the bottom and top apartment and both were equipped with the perfect essential utilities and amenities for both kids and adults. I was thankful that they supplied LED battery operated emergency lights because we did lose power and of course we didn’t have our cell phones charged enough to use the phone flash light! Their towels prepped for us smelled so good! The owners and property manager, Miguel were all great! Miguel especially was awesome. He was there to greet us upon pulling up to the driveway as he lives across the street with his lovely wife. Miguel was attentive and so friendly and helpful. His smile was so welcoming! This place was also conveniently located to what is pretty much the only strip of currently open bars and “night life” during this time of year. Everything else was pretty much closed or closed before or by 8pm. The strip was a 5 minute walk and there was always one place open until 2am some nights a little later. Great music and the people here for the most part were so friendly too. If you’re looking for a safe, secure, clean and welcoming stay, these two apartments are it!

Piece of Paradise
Lovely apartment less than 5 minutes from the main strip in Esperanza, but secluded enough for quiet nights. Gated driveway for a rental car/golf cart, outdoor hose and shower to rinse of sand, full-size fridge, plenty of fans throughout and a/c in the bedroom. A plethora of beach chairs and coolers are available for use, along with laundry on-site.

Clean + comfy beach respite
For a couple, it was spacious and very clean. My wife is a bit of a germaphobe and she felt extremely comfortable. It was well stocked with everything from sunscreen and bug spray to shampoo, and even nail polish remover. Even if something isn't there, you are right around the corner from the local store. The neighborhood is great - you are a 5 min walk from the Malecon, near different beaches, and are part of a nice residential community where you feel very safe. There are a lot of stray animals in the neighborhood but they do not pose any danger to you if you don't bother them. Chip and Angie were so helpful with making sure we checked in ok and gave recommendations as to where to go in the area, and were happy to talk to us before we took our trip and when we arrived. Miguel, the property manager, lives right across the street and was very friendly and available to answer questions and help out. If you need an affordable place to go and relax for a week, this is the place to do it.

Amazing stay in Esperanza!
We had an amazing stay at Chip and Angies rental in Esperanza! Great location - the unit is exceptionally clean and has everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was fully stocked (pots, pans, utensils, etc.), and they had everything you'd want for the perfect beach day (snorkels/fins, chairs, cooler, etc). Chip and Angie are extremely quick to respond and were amazing to provide all the details prior to arrival. Miguel the property manager was equally great! He greeted us upon arrival and showed us all around, and just across the street if we ever needed anything. Would highly recommend staying here!

I HIGHLY recommend it and would absolutely book here again. Ps Miguel, who watches the property, lives across the street and is SUPER HELPFUL!

About the host

Hosted by Chip & Angie Hicks

Host profile image
After traveling to various islands in the Caribbean, we knew immediately we had found "Our Island" on our first trip to Vieques. After several trips we found our home, and we hope to share it with others so they may discover the beauty of Vieques for themselves. In our travels we always stayed at small family owned places with a self contained kitchen for the option of eating in. Our kitchen is well stocked so that could be an option on your vacation as well, though we do recommend sampling some of the many restaurant options Esperanza and the Island have.

Why they chose this property

Located close to the Malecon and beaches, and being within walking distance to everything in Esperanza, it's a great location for a vacation home.

What makes this property unique

Located in a nice neighborhood with great neighbors, a mix of local residents and rental properties, within easy walking distance to bars/restaurants, and local attractions.
