Communication with host was prompt and attentive from the booking date throughout our stay. HOWEVER, she stopped communicating a week later when I tried to discuss feedback regarding the rental. No response to 3 VRBO emails and 1 text. She then reviewed me. The unit is quite basic. (Another reviewer mentioned it could use a refresh, yet that reviewer gave the unit a 10/10 review.) Be aware that there are no A/C, washer/dryer, TV monitor, beach umbrella. Host did not promise those things, so no misrepresentation; bad on me for lack of due diligence. Windows must be open at all times, so quite humid and very noisy at night. Kitchen table plastic. "Closets" rusty wire racks. Same with bathroom shelving. Bathroom lights dim when hot water is turned on. Toilet "flapper" needs to be replaced; toilet runs constantly unless you are on top of it. Top and sides of refrigerator rusty. Towels and pillows not quite threadbare, but leave a lot to be desired. Sofas stained, dirty, or both. CO or smoke detector on wall with its wires hanging out. Only one outdoor pathway light worked, so dangerous entering at night. We pivoted to find alternate accommodations (during Christmas week), and only spent 3 of our planned 9 nights in unit. The cleaners are lovely people, and I want to be clear this is not about the unit being dirty or not cleaned. It is a matter of basic expectations being unmet and the accommodations not being maintained.

The location is very convenient. A convenient store is less than a 1 minute walk away. The main waterfront street, with restaurants and shops is also walkable. The bathroom has a shower and worked just fine. Do know there is no A/C, but there were ceiling fans and an oscillating fan, and with those on, along with the breeze through windows, it was actually often chilly. The view from the very top is clear to the sunset (in December), just be careful as the railing is not fully enclosed on the roof. We did not use the kitchen, so cannot speak to those items.

The outside deck was our favorite. To sit outside and feel the warm breeze is just so healing. It felt like a getaway from life, not just a vaca. I really appreciated the no tv, very relaxing. Cant decide if it's the locals, wildlife on every corner, sunbay beach or the food. If i had to sum it up, i made a new friend while healing in the ocean.

Our dream vacation

Everything was what we hoped for.Comfortable space, beautiful veranda, awesome roofdeck, close by Lydia’s market and other great restaurants and bars.We rented a car and I am glad we did. Eileen is very helpful and responds to questions quickly. We used the beach chairs, snorkel gear and cooler every day. It was always great to come back, and walk by the beautiful plants along the house and by the back patio.Love to come back

A Little Piece of Paradise

The home is in a great location as it is a short walk to Esperanza, but far enough to be quiet. The host was welcoming, kind, and helpful from the start. A large outdoor space with a view of the ocean and town was incredible. A small store was a very short walk away. We didn’t have much opportunity to use it, but the view from the roof rooftop was insane.

Paradise Found!

Eileen and Tony offer a lovely home base for exploring Vieques. Located in a neighborhood in Esperanza, it is outfitted with everything you need for a low-key beach vacation, including an upper 360-degree view deck that we promise you’ll want to watch every sunset from. From the moment you stroll down the fragrant garden path to your little “treehouse oasis,” or enjoy the covered veranda, you probably (like us) start planning your next trip to this unique island. Close to the south beaches and maledon strip of shops/restaurants. Small grocery store an half block away. Eileen is just a text away from answering all your questions. She also offers beach chairs and snorkeling gear — plus great recommendations of where to snorkel. Highly recommend!

Wonderful visit to Esperanza Vieques

We were so lucky to find this location! It offers beautiful views from the roof top, a great outdoor veranda, a well-stocked kitchen, and is close to the Malecon. It is also quiet (except for the roosters). We rented a golf cart but probably would have been better off bringing our rental car over on the ferry (we didn't know we could). One beach is more beautiful than the next. Snorkeling was good as well. It is a great place to stay, especially compared to pictures we saw online of some of the hotels on the Malcone.

We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Casa Almendro! The location is perfect, in walking distance to the beach and amazing restaurants. There is a bodega a block away that sells anything you might need from food to sunscreen. Eileen and Anthony were the ultimate hosts!

Great to be back in Vieques

Returned to Vieques to this great space and location. Eileen was a great host and the space was so good we ended up cooking meals and enjoying the terrace and roof deck all week. Great neighborhood, so much better than a hotel room…Lydia’s market has nearly everything and the beaches and Esperanza vibe relaxes and resets you. Sad to leave….

BEST VIEWS + BEST HOSTS in Vieques

AMAZING home & equally amazing hosts! Best views & sunsets on the island. It was the perfect place for my first solo travel experience & to unplug. The location is unmatched & the rooftop has the best views on the island. House is well equipped with all essentials, great location and lots of multi-levels outdoor space + stunning garden. It is a quick drive to the national wildlife refuge lined with beautiful beaches like La Chiva beach (highly recommend) as well as the black-sand beach and bars & restaurants. I booked last minute after I started a sabbatical & knew very little about Vieques— the host Eileen, was so informative, kind, responsive and caring. She responded to calls or texts immediately, provided info & recommendations for everything whether it was where to rent a car or groceries, things to do etc. By the end it felt like Eileen was an acquaintance and not a host. I would 100% stay here again.

Just what we needed. Rooftop deck and patio were great. Walk to little grocery store for essentials and dinners in Malecon. Followed my daughter's advice in renting a car to check out more of the island. Thankful that we did, although one of our favorites was Sun Bay within walking distance. BioBay and horseback riding were amazing.

Fell in love with Vieques

Owners were very, very helpful and hospitable. Apartment was large, airy and clean. Location was not too close, not too far from everything. Truth be told, if you rent a Jeep or a Kia, nothing on the island is far from anything. Unit doesn’t have a tv or a/c but it does have a couple of good fans, a large kitchen, a large porch on the ocean side of the building and a large roof deck. Parking out front, a small but well appointed grocery store two stone throws away. Ocean, beach, restaurants and bars too close to bother with a car. Wild horses come and go as they please, and there are enough roosters to make you throw away your alarm clock. Toto, you’re not in Kansas anymore.

Great stay overall

The roosters took some getting used to! Bring a speaker for a noise machine app; the roosters start at 3:30am!!!! It was also really warm when we stayed (to be expected in July). Location was great. Eileen's restaurant reccomendations were spot on! Decent snorkeling around the island. The fans could use a serious cleaning and the light bulbs should be awitched to led, since the incandescents provide unnecessary heat. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend! Thank you! Also: !'m glad we rented a car instead of a golf cart!
