Bohios Retreat

Bohios is a very quiet, gorgeous setting with a nice view of the ocean facing south. Some days we just stayed at the villa and swam in the large pool. Daily visits by a local wild horse herd was a bonus.

Spectacular

My two adult kids and I spent a week at this utterly magical getaway, and are already planning to return. Everything was perfection- the views were stunning, the layout of the main living area and separate sleeping areas was wonderful, and the main house was comfortable and welcoming. It was just incredible to walk right out into the pool, and soak in those gorgeous views. I'm a serious chef, and the kitchen was stocked with anything and everything one might need. We grilled lobsters, made seafood paella, and had many, many delicious breakfasts- I never wanted a tool or appliance- everything was on hand. The sunrises every morning were just beautiful, and cocktail hour was spent in the pool most days. It was a quick and easy drive into Esperanza, and we also enjoyed ice cold beer and bar snacks at Robin's Bar, which was conveniently located at the driveway entrance! Wild horses were often seen outside the fence, we had an occasional cat or iguana visit the pool, and enjoyed watching the diverse bird population fly by. This is a beautiful property, and perfect for a multi generational getaway.

New home away from home.

Cant say enough about this spot. Pictures do not do it justice as it exceeded our expectations. This location made it hard for us to leave each day and explore Vieques as the pool and property were a paradise with in its self. Having separate living quarters made it the best place to invite friends and enjoy their company in the shared living space but enjoy the privacy of our own space. Already planning next trip. Thanks Colleen for making this trip so special and all your recommendations around the island. See you next year.

Blissful Bohios

Thank you to the owner who has shared this piece of island beauty. The getting here is a bit complicated and then there’s the road, ha😁 Definitely need a 4 wheel drive but the road is not too long and then you’re at this incredible hilltop with nothing but views of the Caribbean and a green paradise with horses and roosters wandering by. At night the stars are brilliant and you’ll be serenaded to sleep by the tree frogs especially after a dinner cooked in a well equipped kitchen, and a swim in the pool and using the outdoor showers.

Don’t hesitate to book this house

This house was perfect. Our kids got to stay in their own space and we got to have our privacy. Colleen is so helpful with any information you could need. She was able to get us a car for the whole stay when we booked late. The house opens to a beautiful view and the pool was so nice at the end of the day. When we go back I will try to get this house again.

Most amazing stay EVER

We loved every single detail of Los Bohios and already are planning our trip back. The worst part of it all was saying goodbye! We used the pool and/or hot tub every single day .. it’s the dreamiest most perfect rental imaginable. I will miss waking up to the most amazing views and morning yoga by the pool.

Stay like a local

We love this house. The location is awesome! It’s a quick trip down the town or the end of the driveway stop at a market or get a bite to eat. The pool area it was fantastic! Tons of sitting options and so comfortable. We love the uniqueness of the three buildings of the house. It was great for our family with young children! One thing I would do in the future with this house and bring a baby monitor… As my children are four and five and they usually need some thing in the middle of the night! So we slept in the adjacent queen instead of in the master bedroom, but I would preferred to sleep in the master bedroom with a baby monitor.

Amazing stay!

Los Bohios and the property manager, Colleen, were really great! I visited Vieques for the first time with my husband and my teen daughter and her friend. The separate living areas were perfect for privacy and the shared living areas were great for time together. The house, the property and the view were beautiful. Colleen was great with helpful information and answered any questions we had during our stay. We already want to get back to Vieques and would definitely stay at Los Bohios again. Angie

Phenomenal time at Los Bohios

We arrived at Los Bohios and were thrilled with every aspect of this idyllic spot. We had our two adult children and their partners with us and the accommodations were fantastic - very comfortable, everything you need to enjoy being on the property and to explore Vieques. The pool is gorgeous, super comfy outdoor spaces and the kitchen is great to cook in as a group. Bedrooms are private and beds are terrific. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us! We'll be back!

Amazing vacation!

This was our second time to Vieques and first time staying at Los Bohios. The property is stunning and fit 3 families perfectly. The pool was perfect for the little ones and the hot tub was a bonus! The view from the pool and living room was just beautiful. The property is very private so you don't need to worry about seeing or hearing any neighbors. The kids loved running around the huge yard and seeing the horses surrounding the property. We enjoyed grilling and playing board games at night. There are coolers, snorkel gear, beach chairs AND a beach tent for the kids in the laundry room to use on the beach. The only thing we didn't have were buckets and shovels for the kids, but we made due without. There are plenty of spices and left over condiments from previous guests ( we also left some for the next guests) which was nice. There is no AC but you really don't need it. All 3 bedrooms have ceiling fans (master has 4) which provided enough circulation and the cool breeze kept us comfortable at night. We didn't sleep with the doors open just for fear of getting bit by mosquitos. Unfortunately the heater on the pool wasn't working so we didn't swim at night but the hot tub was perfect. There is a house alarm which we used when we were out but felt very safe the entire time we were there. We ate out a few times in Esperanza but mostly cooked/grilled at the house. We previously stayed in Isabel and enjoyed Esperanza so much more. The strip of shops and restaurants is very cute and has a beautiful view of the ocean. There are also 3 markets close by to buy food and alcohol. The beaches here (in my opinion) are some of the most beautiful in the caribbean. Crystal clear water, white sand and no rocks or shells. Our favorites are Blue beach (la Chiva) and Pata Prieta. We found these to be the least crowded and had the calmest water. We were fortunate to have gone the week when there was no moon so we did the bioluminescent bay tour and really enjoyed it. You definitely need to rent a car to get around the island. The house is located on top of a hill and nothing is within walking distance. Colleen the property manager was very helpful with getting us info on car rentals, ferry times and flight info. We hope to come back again soon!

Location, view, amenities, Los Bohios does it all

We decided to try the island of Vieques for our annual family holiday vacation. Our daughter found Los Bohios on line and after several conversations with Colleen, the property manager, we decided to try the house. It's not easy to get family members residing in different states with different needs and different arrival and departure dates coordinated but Colleen helped with many of the tasks including buying diapers, detergent, beach tents, snorkel gear, etc. Ahead of time for our 6 month old grandson. She also coordinated our rental car pickup and gave us valuable info regarding how to navigate this sleepy island. The property itself was clean, well appointed, the pool area with views was not only lovely but perfect for a baby. The "bohios" being separate bedrooms/bathrooms with a central living/kitchen area were perfect for our grown children in terms of privacy. The games and puzzles were a nice distraction and no one missed television. Being located outside of Esperanza but close for some meals was also great. We loved our stay and hope to go back next year!

Great location with amazing views!!! Perfect for a family getaway!

The pictures on here and on their website do not do this place justice! Los Bohios far exceeded our expectations with it's lush greenery, vast views of the Caribbean ocean, cleanliness, and spacious accommodations. We loved everything about this property and we can't wait to come back. Colleen the property manager was extremely helpful with all of our questions and gave us lots of information about the island itself. You must pick Los Bohios if you are choosing to travel to Vieques! You will not be dissappointed!

Paradise Found!

My family and I just returned from the most amazing vacation in Vieques! Our stay at Los Bohios was, quite honestly, the best part of our time there. Due to our early morning risers, ages 5 and 7, we were all ready to hit the pool by 7am every day. We cranked the tunes, opened up the doors, and enjoyed our daily pool parties. While far enough away from others as to not be a nuisance, we were still close enough to activity to not be completely isolated. Esperanza is about a five minute drive from the house. The kitchen is very well-appointed! Anything you could possibly need is within reach. The three outdoor showers were a highlight as well. There is no air conditioning, but it's really not needed. The only times I wished I had it were when I would wake in the night to the serenade of the coquí. We felt like we were in good hands with Colleen as our contact on the island. She is a great resource for the inside scoop on the island. She was extremely easy to get in touch with both before our vacation, and while in Vieques. She was also able to address any questions or concerns I may have had. Thank you so much, Colleen! We can't wait until we come to visit again!

Couldn't be better

I visited Los Bohios while it was under construction and thought it was an amazing place. Everything was confirmed following our stay. The grounds are magnificent and made for an ideal getaway with the family. There are issues with internet connectivity which should be addressed and I believe there should be satellite TV available.

Los Bohios. . . Good choice

If vacationing on a laid back island with beautiful beaches appeals to you, consider staying at Los Bohios. Our family has been coming back to Los Bohios for many years because we love it. The setting on a hillside affords views of the village of Esperanza and the sea beyond. The outside area around the pool is a great place to watch the sun rise and set. The heated pool and jacuzzi offer relaxation and just enough exercise! The three separate bohios provide privacy which is quite special in a vacation rental. The inside and outside seating options are plentiful. The kitchen is well provisioned, but the location makes the excellent local restaurants accessible as well. Chairs, towels and coolers lend to wonderful trips to the many beaches. Do consider staying at Los Bohios . . .just not when we want to!

Unbelievable property set among stunning scenery -- Daly thought of everything!

I highly recommend this property. Where to begin? From the minute Colleen met us and took us to the property, we were impressed and amazed. Colleen cares meticulously for Daly's property, and provides maps and great info upon arrival. First impression: "WOW!" The view from the main bohio is breathtaking. You see a lovely pool, and a huge green space with views of the Caribbean. Photos can't do that justice. The pool was pristine and refreshing. The pool deck had tons of chairs/lounges and tables. Everything we needed was there - towels, utensils, blenders, pots/pans, spices. The furniture was clean and comfortable, sound system was very nice, and the hot tub was a welcome surprise. I had pretty high expectations for Los Bohios going in, and they were far exceeded. We had 4 adults in one bohio and 2 in the other, and it was very private for each couple. You can certainly take a group trip, and still feel like you have privacy. Something to keep in mind: since there is not air conditioning, we kept the doors open all day to let in the breeze and see the beautiful scenery. This meant that bugs could also come in if the doors were left open at night. However, we just closed the doors at night: there are screens on the "windows" if you are concerned about still getting the breeze. Not a problem at all. I don't like getting hot at night, so I actually bought a fan at WalMart on the mainland and brought it with me. There are fans overhead, but the extra fan was VERY welcomed in the middle of the night -- especially if there was a rain storm and we needed to shut some window slats. We flew to Vieques from Ceiba on VAL, and rented a one-way rental from AVIS. This is THE CHEAPEST option you will find (aside from the LONG ferry ride). I highly recommend it. When we landed, Colleen was there waiting for us in her pickup truck. Couldn't have been more smooth. We also rented from Chepito. He had the rental car in the parking lot with keys at Vieques airport. Super nice guy, couldn't have been easier to work with. Hh's worth the effort to reach him. In closing, I think it's tough to choose a property in Vieques because you never know what you might get, but this property lives up to and exceeds the photos you see here and on the website. It is well worth the expense, and you will love being in your own private paradise
