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.

Vacation where there are possibly more free range horses than people.
Do a guided night kayak tour to witness the magical and mysterious greenish blue glow of the Dinoflagellates in Mosquito Bay-the worlds brightest Bioluminescent Bay
Experience beautiful, secluded tropical beaches that you will most likely have all to yourself!

A short 1 Block walk to the Malecon, but far enough away as not to be affected by the sometimes boisterous late nights. A one block easy walk to several beaches. And an easy 2 block walk to restaurants/bars. A very short walk to Lydia's Colmado, (neighborhood market), which is convenient for many small items.
Sit out on the front porch and watch as horses freely roam the neighborhood, looking for the greenest grass to nibble on!

While you don't need a rental vehicle since all of Esperanza and several beaches are within easy walking distance, you may wish to rent one to explore all that Isla Nena has to offer, including the numerous beaches within the Wildlife Refuge.

Dos Palmas is located in a nice residential neighborhood with great neighbors, a mix of local residents and rental properties.

There are dogs, cats, chickens, horses, 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 rental home.

It was an excellent, its the way these rentals were before 2020. Clean, comfortable, Kitchen actually has essentials in it (not that we cooked much). Beds were super comfortable, the AC in the bedrooms worked great. I would stay there again if I ever go back and its available. The neighborhood is very quiet after 10pm except for roosters. Very easy walk to all the restaurants, in town .

Comfortable and great location! Exactly like the pictures and description. A/C in bedrooms works perfectly. We had 5 adults and plenty of room. Chip and Angie have thought of everything including beach chairs, well stocked kitchen and double sink in the hallway bathroom. Miguel was wonderful, we miss seeing him!

My husband and I stayed here with our four children. It had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay and more-including games, beach towels, beach chairs, a place to clean up when we returned from the beach, and even shampoo and conditioner! We loved how close it was to beaches and restaurants while also being in the neighborhood where we connected with locals. Some perks: the little grocery store around the corner where we got our morning coffee, the restaurant Rancho Choli, and above all Miguel the property manager who is a delight. We did rent a car which was helpful to explore all the different beaches around

My girlfriends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Esperanza. It was the perfect location for us as our main interests were bioluminescent bay and getting in some beach time. The grocery store is just around the corner and it is a 2-3 min walk to malecon where local restaurants are. Jak sports is a 10 min walk or 2 min drive and. Caracas and La Chiva beaches were very drivable, maybe 15 min away. The ACs in the bedrooms were fantastic. Great communication and easy checkin were pluses. Thank you!

The house is very walkable to restaurants in Esperanza and is modern and clean. We didn't realize that only the bedrooms and not the living area in the house has AC, but this seems very normal for all PR VRBO rentals. (This was our very time in PR.) The check-in process was good - a very friendly neighbor walked us through the house, but he didn't show us the washer/dryer (texted the owner for this information) and the AC units in the bedrooms were a little finicky to get turned on and set to temp - an extra instruction sheet for the AC units would be helpful. Overall, a positive experience with very responsive owners.

My family and I loved staying at Dos Palmas! The hosts were very communicative and responsive. They shared information about arriving to their place and about things to do on the island. The house was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen is very well stocked. We especially loved the location: very close to a little grocery store and minutes from the beach and shops and restaurants of Esperanza. Vieques was our favorite part of our time in Puerto Rico, and we would definitely look to stay at Dos Palmas again when we return.

The house is in a great location on the island, easy walk right to the beach, and grocery store just around the corner. It had everything you could need for your stay, was well stocked and clean. We loved it!

Everything was as described in the listing. Our favorites were the front porch and the outdoor shower. There was always a nice breeze on the front porch, so it was a nice place to cool down with a drink in hand. The outdoor shower was perfect after a long day at the beach too!

The location is excellent to walk to market, The Malecon and has water views. The home was outfitted with everything you can possibly need for a short or long term stay and is super cozy and comfy. We cooked most meals as the kitchen had everything and more that we needed to feel at home. The owners were exceptional in timeless and good communication. Look no further for a place to stay if your planning an amazing vacation in Vieques!

We had such a wonderful time. The home ‘s location was ideal because everything is within walking distance. The manager is so kind and courteous. The owners are incredibly responsive and made us feel right at home. I would highly recommend this home and sincerely hope to return to it in the future. Thank you!!

Excellent location. Sparklingly clean. Every detail was covered. Kitchen equipped with everything you could ever want. Outdoor shower and grill outside near the covered patio were so fun. Communication was excellent. Simply perfect in every way.

10/10

The house was a great launching point to everything Vieques has to offer. We rented a golf cart and visited a different beach every day and we loved how different each one was. The tour of the bio bay was the highlight of the trip!! The house had everything we needed to cook a few meals, and was walking distance to a small grocery store, several nice restaurants and the beach. The neighborhood was nice and all of the neighbors seemed friendly. I’d recommend this place highly!

House was well stocked. Even had reusable grocery bags to minimize plastic bags and trash, which also was helpful to tote the scuba equipment in. Very easy walk to grocery store, and restaurants. The beds were not as comfortable as I would prefer, but the A/C worked very well and the rooms were not hot. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.

We stayed here four days and nights and it is a beautiful location. Very comfortable house with plenty of provisions. We sat on the porch plus stars and enjoy the evenings. The owners were excellent communicators. The price was great and it was walking distance to numerous restaurants and shops. We did rent a car so we could go to all the beaches that we wanted to all over the island and we could park that in a gatedcarport in front of this house which was very helpful. It has beautiful gardens and an outdoor shower for washing after swimming, and indoor shower of course as well.3 big bedrooms, 1 with an onsite bath in addition to the big bathroom and shower we shared. Large dining room table and kitchen. Overall, I highly recommend this vrbo and would rent it again if I was coming back to Vieques!

Everything we needed, check in was a breeze and great communication with the owner. There was a person across the street who checked us in, his English was not very good but he showed us everything we needed and was very friendly. Nice kitchen and dining table for making meals and groceries were right around the corner. We rented a jeep and visited every beach we could, nice beach chairs/coolers and equipment available for use in the carport storage area. Many horses, chickens and dogs in the neighborhood, always gave us something to smile about. Only downside was construction happening in the two house on each side of us, made it a bit noisy but it didn’t bother us much as we were usually out exploring the island.

We really liked this property. It was nicely appointed and air worked great. Good location too. You can walk to the Melacon easily. Grocery store down the street. We really enjoyed Manuel the caretaker and his dog Nico across the street. Everyone enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the deck chairs. We always felt safe. The only down side was that the washing machine was not working and no 'hot' water in shared bath (my wife and I still showered there as the water was luke-warm). The owners are refurbishing the shared bath and it is not quiet finished. Once completed a new washer and dryer will be available upstairs instead of in the back of the garage. Owner was on-site waiting for us to leave.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this delightful vacation rental in Esperanza, and it exceeded all our expectations. The property is a short walk from the main strip, offering the perfect blend of convenience and seclusion. The apartment was incredibly clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully stocked kitchen, beach gear, and even some emergency LED lights in case of power outages. We spent many evenings on the front deck, sipping cocktails and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. The gated driveway provided a secure parking spot for our rental car, and the outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. The property managers, Chip, Angie, and Miguel, were all incredibly helpful and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay, offering local tips and checking in with us regularly. The neighborhood was friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We cannot recommend this rental highly enough. It was the ideal spot for our vacation, and we look forward to returning to this piece of paradise in the future

First time to Vieques and we were so happy with Chip and Angie’s home! The location was wonderful, the house has everything, and the neighborhood is great to sit on the porch or enjoy an evening walk. The storage closet is full of wonderful beach chairs, hammock, snorkel items, coolers. It makes daily outings a breeze. We enjoyed the outdoor shower and playing outback looking for lizards and hermit crabs. Even though we had a car we walked to the Malecon several times during the week- so close! We cooked many meals and the kitchen was perfectly stocked. The bluetooth speaker was great for music and our daughter loved the sound machine provided in the bedroom. We didn’t need Air Conditioning but it’s there if you do which is also great! Chip and Angie were quick and thorough with communication. Can’t wait to visit again. Thanks guys!!

We can't say enough good things about our stay at Dos Palmas in Esperanza, Vieques. We were 3 couples traveling together and the house was perfect for us. Chip and Angie couldn't have been more helpful with all of our questions before we left. The house had everything that you could need. There were beach towels and chairs, coolers, beach bags, etc. The kitchen, dining room and living room were open and easily accommodated all of us. We really enjoyed the big front porch where we had coffee in the mornings and cocktails at night and could watch the wild horses and chickens walk by. The laundry facilities were great, it allowed us to pack lighter. The location couldn't be better. We used the market and bakery around the corner everyday. We were a very short distance to the Malecon where we could walk to the restaurants, bars and shops. Suca was very helpful letting us in when we arrived. We were 4 hours early and she left work to bring the keys to us and show us around. We can't say enough good things about our first time using VRBO at Dos Palmas. We would recommend this place to everyone and can't wait to return! (We also enjoyed the visits from the neighbor's dog, Nico. He made us feel very welcome.)

8/10

Upon check-in, we encountered several pre-existing issues requiring attention that, unfortunately, were not communicated to us beforehand. Prior knowledge of these matters would have empowered us to make more informed decisions about our stay and potentially cancel our reservation. The identified problems ranged from three non-functional light switches in the main hallway and bathroom, a broken soap tray in the master shower, the presence of ants in the bathrooms, the unavailability of bedroom keys for the kids' room (resulting in an incident where the kids accidentally locked themselves inside overnight), a temporarily installed cosmetic towel rod under the double vanity (which fell when we removed a towel), and an unsafe sliding bathroom door lacking a lower track or a fixed handle. Instead, the door relied solely on a suction cup door handle that fell several times due to humidity or regular use. Given the challenges we faced, we kindly requested the hosts to consider refunding one day (with full transparency; unrelatedly, a month in advance we decided to leave a day early, making it a neutral proposition). Despite these issues, it's important to note that we appreciated the location and the remainder of the house and genuinely enjoyed meeting the host, Chip. Before posting this review, we attempted to address these concerns via email with Angie and Chip in a non-public forum. We acknowledge the possibility that the hosts may not have seen the email.

My family (spouse + 4 kids) stayed here for three nights in June 2022. We LOVED our time in the home and in Vieques. It was so great being greeted by their property manager, Miguel. You won't find a more friendly and helpful guy. I'd see him daily (he lives across the street) and he and his family would always warmly greet us. You immediately feel like you are part of the neighborhood. The owners have set this house up with everything you'll need for a fun stay. We really appreciated having access to the snorkel equipment, beach chairs, and coolers! Having these items saved us money and helped us make the most of our daily excursions to the amazing beaches that the nearby wildlife refuge has to offer. The owners also sent helpful suggestions before our trip and were quick to respond to questions during our stay. There is a small grocery store just around the corner from this property ("Comado Lydia") that had everything we needed to prepare meals and to fill our cooler for lunches on the beach. There are reusable grocery bags in the home that are handy for carrying your purchases back to the house. Side note: Comado Lydia closes at 6pm (as of this writing). If you need to do your shopping a little later you can head to Tienda Verde (Green Market) that is a little further away but stays open until 9pm. Just 2-3 blocks away (and on your way to El Malecon) there is a lady who sells "limbers" from her home for $1.50 each. You'll see her sign in front. We loved stopping by there each day for an inexpensive treat. (Limbers are frozen fruit juice, sugar, and chunks of fruit. I highly recommend the pineapple limber.) Finally, you may have already discovered this but Esperanza is a great home base for your Vieques adventures because of the nearby beaches and because the Malecon is a starting point for many different tours.
