Stayed ten days with three kids ranging from 5-12. Kids loved the games. Adults loved the views. Rental car is a must unless you only go to the small beach at the bottom of the hill. That beach was really nice for little kids. House provided chairs cooler and towels. They donât leave leftover toiletries sunscreen or any kitchen basics so youâll need to bring or buy.
We had a great stay on the island. The house was just like the pictures and we had plenty of room for a family of 6. So items were not available like a wine bottle opener, a baking sheet, but those were minor and we were able to adjust. The view and ocean breeze were amazing and property manager was great checking in to see if we needed anything. Canât wait to come back.
Short walk to a great beach. The house was clean and had a great porch to set and enjoy the view with morning coffee and breakfast. Our host was friendly and helpful. If I ever get back to Vieques I would definitely stay there again!
The whole family really enjoyed our stay in the casa azul in Vieques. Car is absolutely needed to visit the island (reserve well in advance!) but the house is very close to a very nice and wild beach and well equipped.
Overall experience was very good. Host is freindly and willing to help you with everything you need for your stay. I will stay here again for my next trip to Vieques. 100% recommended to anyone.
Unit was ok. Old unit that could use updates. Couch falling apart. Wouldnât have been to bad except the second night we had several cockroaches in the unit. Upstairs group was great but if you had bad neighbors upstairs it could be real loud.
Some tips to help future travelers:
-The blue house is out of walking distance from the ferry port, plan to have a rental car or planned transportation.
- Thereâs minimal things in the kitchen: no oven, no spices, a glitchy microwave, no dishwasher. Plan on cooking everything stove stop & doing dishes.
- The closest market is pricey, watch expiration dates, closes early. Watch for people hanging around out front looking to take advantage of tourists, stay alert.
- Thereâs a GORGEOUS beach walking distance down the hill from the house. Small, but so beautiful. We loved it!
-The shower was lousy & water filter didnât work on the sink.
- The property manager Berto was THE best. He picked us up from the ferry when we missed our rental car window, took us to the market to get food, then brought us to get settled. The next day he called to see if we needed anything and let us know that the adjacent property had checked out and invited us to use the pool belonging to that property- kids loved it!
-Know that this is a 2 family house so there might be folks staying above/below you, depending on where you stay. Our upstairs neighbors were super nice and offered to share the game room that goes with that level.
- Thereâs an open porch w/2 hammocks and a large table/chairs w/ ocean view. We spent a lot of time out there.
- The beaches on Vieques made this trip worth it- so amazing, we traveled around and went to a bunch.
- Biobay tour w/Salty Spirit company was awesome! Didnât get to snorkel due to rip currents.
Overall this house will do for a few nights stay to explore the island, but I wouldnât want to stay very long. Berto was great and we only met nice, helpful people on the island for the days we were there. We loved exploring the small island and throughly enjoyed our Marriott resort in San Juan afterwards.
We loved staying at the Ocean View Blue House. We stayed in July of 2022 with our family of 4 and another family of 5. It fit all of us comfortably. Bierto, the host was awesome! When our rental car didnât start on the morning of our departure, and we were close to missing the ferry back to the mainland, he was super nice and picked us up! What a guy!!
I loved the wild horses, and the hammocks the best. Very comfortable with a wonderful view of the beach. Thank you for hosting!!
