Not recommended

Property manager did not communicate ahead of time regarding pickup at ferry. He complained about the luggage we had and did not assist in getting it down the driveway to the house. The grounds were littered with beer cans. Lights did not work. The front door was in disrepair and difficult to lock. Stove and washing machine were dirty. Screens were replaced with plastic (great for circulation) in some cases.
There are many affordable rentals on Vieques that surpass this property and certainly more gracious property managers. I recommend you avoid this property.
Most disturbing is the fact the property owners have not responded to two emails since our stay one month ago.

Owner's Response: Based on past reviews, we have done an excellent job of providing a clean and comfortable home away from home for a majority of our guests. In this case, we clearly fell short but the complaints did not fall on deaf ears. Upon receiving feedback from this client, we immediately took steps to make the necessary repairs. Such repairs would have been done during his stay had he brought them to the attention of the house manager rather than waiting til the vacation was over. Our goal is to always exceed the expectations of our guests --reviews such as this just make us try all that much harder.

Comfortable House
Submitted: February 21, 2012
Stayed: February 2012
We enjoyed our stay, though some of the description is a bit over the top in my opinion. The house was very clean and comfortable, with nice towels and linens, and a nice kitchen. The property manager, who lives next door, was just great - very welcoming and helpful. He had many good suggestions of restaurants, snorkeling locations, biobay tours, etc., and was very responsive when something came up (for example, the password to the wireless internet didn't work).
I felt the description in this listing gave an inaccurate impression regarding the view and the fruit available on the property. The view from the house and porch is a nice wedge-shaped view of the Atlantic with some houses in the foreground. It's lovely to sit on the porch and look across the rural hillsides with a neighbor's horse or a wild horse in the distance. However, you cannot see El Yunque, the mainland or St. Thomas from the house. If you continue walking up the road from the house, there are more sweeping views. The other disconnect was the description of the fruit trees on the property. We didn't see any fruit other than some berries. I wrote to the booking agent after our stay and she said there are fruit trees but you need to go through some underbrush to find them, and some were damaged in the hurricane last summer. She gave a thoughtful response to my comments, which I appreciated, and seems to really want people to love the property as much as she does.
I would recommend this house for a family or group that needs/wants three bedrooms and three baths, and wants to be in a rural setting but still close to town. Having the property manager close by made us feel safe and well taken care of. Don't miss the biobay tour. We did a small group kayak trip with Bieques Eco Tours just 2 nights after the full moon. It was amazing - hard to capture in words or photos - and we stayed out on the bay to watch the moon rise. It felt like a once in a lifetime experience.

What an amazingly beautiful place. And what a workout it is to get to the top of the driveway!
The house is beautiful and equipped with snorkeling equipment, very nice lounge chairs for the beach, and gorgeous views of the Atlantic, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas. Walking through the grounds, I found grapefruit, starfruit, and mangos ripe for the picking.
Sheets and towels were soft, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with a coffee maker, smoothie maker, microwave, etc. and there was a grill out on the upstairs deck for fresh grilled fish we bought at the market in town.
Definitely going back!!

I couldn't ask for more from my stay at Casa Mamey from Christmas to New Years. The house is situated atop a hill, offering breathtaking views of the ocean. It's also a perfect distance between Isabel and Esperanza, Vieques' two major towns.
The casa itself is everything you could want from a vacation house - high ceilings, beautiful tiles, terraces, and an airy flow. It begs for the company of small group, as there is space to escape in privacy, as well as areas large enough to comfortable hang out.
If you make it to the fish market, you'll find that Casa Mamey is a joy for cooking. Its kitchen is large and stocked, appliances are in top-notch shape, and the barbeque is convenient. Feast on the large dining table for a meal nobody will forget.
Lastly, the owner offered impeccable customer service. She helped us organize car and bike rentals, provided a bevvy of information about the island, and was totally on call to make our stay the best possible.
Can't wait to return to Casa Mamey!!!!!!

This is a great house, very comfortable, clean and quiet. Awesome to have A/C in all the bedrooms. We stayed for 3 nights with 5 adults and one child. We had plenty of room, and it's nice that each bedroom has its own bath. While it's not super close to the beach, it does have a great ocean view and a nice deck to hang out on. And we spent our time driving around Vieques anyway, stopping at beaches along the way. It was a great value, I would recommend it.

Perfect Set-up for a Family Vacation

What a wonderful house! At first, I was sceptical about being on an island but not on the beach. Boy was I wrong!!! This wonderful house keeps water views front and center no matter where you are in the house. Fold back and patio doors open up wide to let the sea breezes cool the interior.
Each of the three bedrooms has its own bath which is perfect! (The bedrooms are all air-conditioned, but none of us ever felt the need for it) The living , dining area and kitchen occupy one large space which opens onto the terrace for a perfect interior/exterior blend. Great kitchen with everything you need -- including a lobster pot!!! We chose to grill on the terrace almost every night.
For breakfast, we picked bananas, grapefruit, berries.... My daughter declared the smoothies we concocted "the best ever!"
Great sheets, towels, beach towels, beach chairs and even snorkeling equipment. The owners seemed to have thought of everything!
The location was near perfect. We picked up fresh fish in Isabel in the morning , went to a different beach everyday, and had cocktails overlooking the water in Esperanza before heading back for our nightly bbq. Everything was close and easy.
We have already booked for next year. I can't imagine going anywhere else. We have found our vacation home away from home!
We are already planning our trip back. We have found our family vacation home!

“ The accommodations were perfect and the view was great! I have to say, your property managers were absolutely great. They were there when we arrived and provided a wealth of information about the local area. They assured us they would be available to help for anything. We did have to call on them when we managed to get our car keys wet and got stranded on Green beach. They came out and picked us up! It was very comforting to know that they were around. …” Keith, New Hope, Minnesota
