Recently discovered but still unspoiled, Vieques Island, off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico, offers scores of gorgeous, pristine beaches, friendly residents, and a wonderfully relaxed and healthy lifestyle. Island activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, horseback riding, fishing, hiking, wind surfing, kayaking, bicycling, and night-time boat trips to the bioluminescent bay. In addition, you will enjoy watching the wild Paso Fino horses and grazing Brahmin cattle that dot the island. Eating and drinking are also high on the list - Vieques has assembled a wide array of delightful restaurants and bars, each with its own unique character.

Wonderful Villa - Enjoyed our stay

Sherry and Steve Madison, NJ USA
Review Submitted: June 22, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We loved Casa Dos Chivos for many reasons: Excellent location (almost center of the Island). The interior was spotless and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was well lit with plenty of hot water. The a/c worked well in bedroom with ceiling fans throughout. It was very thoughtfully stocked, with books, games, first aid kit, washer/dryer and beach supplies. Karen (the manager) was willing to offer any advice needed about the Island, and the owners were very professional with booking and internet welcome package. We thought this villa was a great value in Vieques and we highly recommend it!

We recently got back from staying at Casa Dos Chivos and could not have asked for a better experience. This was our third trip to Vieques and our first time staying in a rental property - this house far exceeded our expectations. From the gorgeous terrace and view to the wonderful accomodations, everything was perfect. Micheal and Patrick were so gracious, and Karen was a great resource - she even brought us fresh grapefruit our first morning there! We would highly recommend Casa Dos Chivos to anyone!

We just returned from a delightful stay at Casa Dos Chivos. The photos on the web don't do it justice. The minute we arrived we felt at home and on the last day, it was hard to leave. I could see myself living in the casa. It had everything you could need for a vacation. I loved the tropical decor, papaya and mango colors, art and furniture. We loved sitting on the deck and looking at the Atlantic and surrounding neighborhood, listening to the sounds of the island. We grilled whole snapper and lobster from the fish market and found a small fruit market for papaya, grapefruit, mangoes, bananas and limes and even a gal selling her fresh baked bread and citrus marmalade that was out of this world. Driving was an adventure (a rental car is a MUST), natural speedbumps (culverts, potholes, a mare standing in the road nursing a foal and iguana crossings can make the going scenic and slow. The beaches are gems, deserted, white, fine sand, aquablue. We loved Red Beach. The Bio bay was unique, the night we went our guide had a megalaser and pointed out the constellations...amazing. Our flight over was quick and laid back..our pilot was eating Doritos and licking his fingers while flying. Hopefully, Vieques can remain unspoiled, some good came out of the naval base in that all that land is now wildlife preserves with beautiful beaches. There is no light pollution, so the stars are incredible. Many thanks, Michael and Patrick for sharing your lovely, island home. Karen B.

What a beautiful spot. We have been coming to Vieques for years, but this is the first time we rented a house. We loved it, even better than we had expected. It is in a great location, beautifully furnished and decorated, has every convenience/ammenity you could possible want, great view and oh so comfortable. A massage on the balcony with Ingrid Bergman is pure heaven. I highly recommend Casa Dos Chivos.

Review Submitted: December 8, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
We stayed at Casa Dos Chivos in mid-November 2008. We had never been to Puerto Rico or Vieques before so it was all new and we weren't exactly sure what to expect. All I can say is that we are already planning our next trip back and we would not think of staying anywhere else on Vieques as long as Casa Dos Chivos is available. It is fantastic!

We had never tried a VRBO before either, so I was a little apprehensive, but Casa Dos Chivos turned out to be the highlight of our trip. We especially enjoyed the large balcony with far-reaching view and the huge comfy bed. You really could not ask for a more private setting or a more relaxing atmosphere. Having all the amenities of home while in paradise made for a perfect stay.

The owners and property manager are great to work with and are obviously pros.

Casa Dos Chivos exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to anyone without reservation.
