Hidden Gem in Esperanza--Easy Walk to Waterfront, Restaurants, Shops & Beach

Enjoy your morning coffee or dinner al fresco on the spacious wrap-around porches of this light and breezy, fully-renovated house close to the Malecon in Esperanza.

Featuring a modern, fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances, a gas stove, dishwasher, eat-in bar, and high ceilings with fans in every room, Casa de Pepito was designed to take full advantage of the prevailing breezes. Sleep soundly in either the Coqui room with king bed, dressing room and private bath, or the Tortuga room's queen bed with private bath, all furnished with pure cotton bedding and thick cotton towels. While the trade winds keep the house cool on most days, the bedrooms are air-conditioned for sleeping comfort on warmer nights.

Numerous fine restaurants, shops, bars and night life, a small grocery and local bakery, as well as water sport rentals and world famous Sun Bay Beach are just a short walk away. There is also a lovely park close by with a children's playground, adult workout equipment, a jogging path, picnic pavilions and public bathrooms.

Casa de Pepito is equipped with beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and coolers; beach toys and snorkel equipment; books, games, puzzles, a flat screen TV with a small DVD library, WiFi/Internet, and a CD player with a collection of CDs.

The two spacious bedrooms with en suite baths make this house ideal for 2 couples or a small family. And because you can walk to just about everything, you won't be stranded at home if someone else takes the car to a remote beach for the day. It's both the perfect central location to explore the island from, and the ideal place to just hang out on the porch reading, or stroll down to the waterfront for lunch, a drink, or a little shopping.

Great stay! The home was centrally located and an easy walk to downtown. It was perfect for two couples, with a well-equipped kitchen and appreciated extras like beach chairs and beach towels.Linda, the house manager, was wonderful and quickly handled a couple of minor issues. The owner was very communicative throughout our stay. Overall, a fantastic experience—Esperanza did not disappoint!

The host's representative, Linda was welcoming and put us in touch with a company that rented cars at a reasonable priceThe house facilities were generally good, except that the water temperature, in spite of Linda's best efforts were never above lukewarm throughout the 16 days of our stay. In addition, a lot of the dinnerware had chips.

Great spot in Esperanza

This is a perfect house for two couples. We loved being within walking distance of the beach and restaurants in Esperanza - it’s a great location for exploring the island. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and we loved sitting out on the porch. We had a great stay.

Small island getaway

The house layout was perfect for two couples. Comfortable living area and kitchen as well as bedrooms. There was always an ocean breeze which enabled us to sit out on the porch whenever we wanted to. We walked to the Malecón restaurants at night. House manager was very attentive to solving a few issues we needed help with.

Vieques

We had a great time at the island. It was nice being just up the road from the main restaurant area but not so close we could hear it at night. We appreciated the fans/a/c for comfort but also to try and block out the roosters that roam and make noise all night. We loved the beach stuff we could use and enjoyed the beautiful beaches each day. Catherine was so helpful for any help we needed!

5 stars!

This property was beyond our expectations! Location was a block from a grocery and two blocks from the boardwalk. The property had beach towels, chairs and snorkel gear and all of the necessities. The property manager was there upon arrival and provided excellent information about the island and the rental. If in Vieques again, I would 110% rent again.

A great stay in Esperanza!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Casa de Pepito! The space was very clean and comfortable for the two of us. It was great being walking distance to all of the places we visited in Esperanza, plus there was a nice driveway for our rental car (for visiting other parts of the island). Communication beforehand was a breeze too — Linda even got us a lovely gift for our honeymoon!The only detractor for us was the neighbor’s dogs: they have three large dogs that live outside and they bark all the time, including all hours of the night. I am only including that note in case you are a light sleeper, in which case I would suggest ear plugs. Thank you Catherine and Linda for the great stay. We will be back again soon!

Close to Esparanza

Convenient location. Short walk to town. Very large and well appointed. Great for 2 couples. Do not recommend for people who want quiet. Roosters are loud all morning and neighbors dogs bark quite a bit. We are not bothered by these things, so we had a fantastic stay enjoying all the beautiful scenery of Vieques..

Wonderful home away from home near the Malecon!!!

My sister, niece and I took a girls trip and we could not have imagined a better place today. Clean, cute and comfortable. The home is nice and airy with big bedrooms and bathrooms and an open kitchen/living room area for socializing. We loved sitting on the porch watching the horses and roosters. The location is 10 out of 10…. close to a market and a quick and safe walk to the Malecon. We plan to go back and will definitely stay here again. The owner and property manager were informative, friendly and responsive. If you want a no stress experience, we recommend you stay here! Thank you for an awesome week.

Perfect getaway home!

A perfect location with all the necessary amenities and super clean!! I appreciated all the extra bathroom towels too! The space was ideal for traveling with our two kids, having two full bathrooms was ideal. The kitchen was perfectly sized and we were able to cook Christmas dinner without a problem. There are helpful notes all over the house - like for fan and light switches, and the quirkiness of the refrigerator. So great to have access to laundry and being external to the house meant not having to hear the noise of the machines. Being around the corner from Lydia’s was a godsend! I was in there picking up odds and ends regularly. And while easy enough to walk everywhere in Esperanza, we did rent a car so the off street parking was also hugely appreciated. One note to first time travelers to Vieques - roosters crow non-stop all day and wild horses are everywhere including sometimes jumping over the fence into the yard. I successfully shooed them away twice but keeping the gate closed is essential to discouraging them. The external photo makes it look like there are a lot of stairs to get to the first floor but it was just a regular stair stoop which was a relief! Catherine is quick to respond and had tons of helpful info for us prior to arrival. Linda (property manager) was great with communication and helpful tips on restaurants and beaches. We could not have had a better stay! I waited too long for a return trip to Vieques and can’t wait to stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay here. The host was very accommodating. The location is nice, the house was clean, the AC worked great. We picked some star fruits from the tree in the front yard, they are actually good fresh, unlike the ones we get in the grocery stores where we live. Walking to the restaurants and bars on the malecon is very close. We would stay here again for sure.

Great space to live like a local while on vacation. Convenience store close by was great. Two loud dogs next door that bark non stop were a minor negative. Roosters are a nice natural alarm clock every morning. Recommend ear plugs if you plan to sleep in one day. Local food supply shortages due to over tourism and long term effects of hurricane damage (I assume). Recommend bringing groceries from main island over before boarding ferry to Viequez. House was clean and comfortable. Beds were comfy and bedrooms were great size. Loved the tasty star fruit and guanábana trees on property!

Fantastic stay! House was as advertised. Great a/c's in the bedrooms and plenty of fans in the kitchen/living room to keep things cool. Easy to park the rental car.Literally a 7-10 minute walk (in flip flops) to a small grocery store that had almost everything we needed at any given time.Walking distance to two beaches, and also to where most of the tours meet up (snorkeling and bio-bay tours), as well as restaurants. Great hosts! Non-obtrusive but super responsive if we ever needed anything. We look forward to staying here again!
