Surrounded by a lush tropical garden on a quiet hill above Isabel Segunda, in the main town of Vieques, Casa Elegante faces the Atlantic Ocean with views of the charming harbor below, and in the distance main island Puerto Rico and neighboring Culebra.
The entry hall leads to a large California-style living room and dining room with ocean view and open kitchen and bar counter opening out to the tropical garden. The entire house is tiled with stone slate tiles and is decorated with fine art and regional crafts from local artists.

Quiet, elegant and luxurious near the town and beaches
Highly enjoyable, beautiful house with all the amenities one could wish. The swimming pool is a delight. The tropical garden is impressive and the view from the roof deck is grand and beautiful. Kitchen is fully equipped to make gourmet meals. We enjoyed short trips to the Sunbay beach each morning
Fascinating presence of Indian art in the Caribean
The Kailash Kanna villa is a rare example of discrete union between the elegance of the shapes and colors of Indian and Caribbean nature. The black slate floors, the walls painted with a warm caribbean color enclose a comfortable, high class modern forniture; all this is accented with beautiful pictures and sculptures of Indian art. And this with a pleasant view of the seas around Vieques. The bathing area and the pool are the epitome of refined attention to detail and functionality. From the moment the ferry took us to Vieques to our departure we had a perfect reception of a friendly, bustling Hungarian girl.
Experience truly memorable.
Thanks Ferruccio for a very perceptive and positive review
Lovely Vacation Home!
Casa Elegante is a beautiful home. We felt completely safe and secure staying there. The house had everything we needed and more! High quality linens and bath towels, lovely furnishings. The decorating and attention to details are evident throughout the entire home.
We made good use of the provided beach towels, beach chairs, cooler and the Rav4 pretty much every day. Vieques has some amazing beaches. And when we arrived home after a rough day relaxing or playing in the waves, a quick rinse in the outdoor shower and a refreshing dip in the pool were a wonderful way to spend the rest of the afternoon. After going out for dinner (even though the kitchen is so well equipped, I just couldn’t bring myself to cook on vacation – after all it is vacation!) We enjoyed the rooftop at night listening to the coqui’s and enjoying the breeze.
A very nice touch was that shampoos, conditioner and body wash are provided in all bathrooms. Made packing a little easier.
Leslie and David were on top of answering questions and prompt in picking us up at the airport and dropping us off for our flight home. Super helpful and available for any questions we had while on the island.
Go and enjoy this lovely home on the island of Vieques. We did and will have very fond memories for years to come.
Thank you!
Lives Up to Its Name
Every imaginable amenity, comfort, etc. Thanks so much for lending us the place. We had five fabulous days here - of course, we couldn't get to every beach, but we tried - each more picturesque than the last. You have a marvelous spot - perfectly situated to catch evening breezes; our boys enjoyed swimming in the pool. We sunbathed on the roof, and watched the iguanas eat bouganvilla & the sea. Poking around the house, we all remarked, "What taste! What a great book collection!" The kettle was used for afternoon tea in the garden, after a nap or a walk in the village, or to the fort.
And Leslie & David were so generous with their time in ensuring we were initially oriented & situated.
Thank you again for such a marvelous stay. We hope to return. Rebecca, Ed, Asher, Jacob, Celia, Jack & Paul.
Jan 2014 Stay
House was perfect for 3 couples! Roof deck was wonderful for star gazing at night. Pool was nice since it is a little far from the beach, but having the rental car made up for that, and so did the views. This house has EVERYTHING you need and the caretakers Leslie and David were great.
Perfect Holiday Retreat
Our stay at Casa Elegante turned out even better than we could have hoped. Leslie, the property manager, fielded our many questions about travel logistics, activities, and local restaurants. She was such a gracious host - it would not have been nearly as seamless a trip without her help. Not to mention, the house is lovely, in a really convenient location, incredibly secure, and with about every amenity you could need. The view from the roof deck can't be beat, and the pool is so calm and peaceful (although a little chilly in December). The beach chairs and snorkeling gear were put to good use - it's those types of details that really make for an easy vacation. We are so happy to have found this house and can't wait to visit again in the future.
Location
