Dos Palmas Casita-1Bdrm,1Ba in Esperanza, Walk to Malecon, Restaurants, Beaches

Sandy Beaches, Tropical Blue Water, Beautiful Weather, currently averaging in the 80*'s

Dos Palmas Casita-1 BDRM for TWO-
1 Bdrm, 1 Ba, Ground Floor Apt. in the small beach side fishing village of Esperanza. A short 1 Block walk to the Malecon, Restaurants, Beaches, Activities, etc.
WIFI and a Smart TV/DVD & Amazon Fire Stick.
Perfect for a couple, or a single traveler, or those on a budget.
A well stocked kitchen if you decide to eat in. Includes a Refrigerator and Freezer, Gas Stove top and Oven, Microwave, Coffee maker, Toaster, Blender, Pots and Pans, and Utensils. Dining table and chairs in kitchen.
The bedroom has a King size bed and additional seating for two.
Bathroom has a nice sized shower, shelves, and a closet for storage.
A/C is available in the bedroom, if needed, and the kitchen and bedroom each have a ceiling fan and floor fans as well.
Bed linens and Bath towels are provided, as well as Beach towels and Beach chairs, and a cooler is available for use, along with snorkel masks and fins
In the rear of the house in a private nook, is an Outdoor Shower Area surrounded with lush tropical plantings.
Also in the backyard is a covered gazebo with chairs for sitting and relaxing, along with a BBQ grill for grilling your favorites, the local catch of the day, or lobsters from the fish market.

Steps away from Lydia's Colmado, (neighborhood market), which is convenient for any small items.
Steps away from everything in Esperanza, as the whole town is easily walkable. A car rental is not necessary, although you may want one to explore the rest of what Vieques has to offer.

Dos Palmas Casita is located in a nice residential neighborhood with great neighbors, a mix of local residents and rental properties.
There are dogs, cats, chickens, horses, coqui, iguanas, and mongoose that freely roam Vieques, and at times the neighborhood as well. You will undoubtedly see and hear several varieties of Vieques wildlife during your stay. It's totally different than our neighborhood in the states, and that's why we love it as we do

TRAVELING TO VIEQUES-
Vieques can seem to be a little daunting to get to at first glance, the good news is that once you do arrive you won't want to leave!
There are several options in traveling from SJU to Vieques, and the price for each can vary greatly. When guests book with us we send them an email detailing the options available, along with the most up to date pricing to help them decide which option would work best depending on their budget and travel times.

Thank You for considering our vacation Casita.

Misleading
Not as advertised. Found out upon checking in that backyard with grill and outdoor shower were off-limits for our stay. TV in the bedroom of a 2-room apt. Is understandable, if the tv actually works without the help of the owner. AC was unable to maintain less than 76 degrees after the first night. I made 2 requests regarding if there was a secret to getting the tv to work, but owner had other things on her mind I think. She did assist in getting it to work on our last night. We wouldn't return for another stay for half the cost. I'll definitely ask more questions if we elect to use a vrbo facility again.

Lovely stay!
Our stay here was pleasant! We apparently scheduled our vacation during peak hurricane season (our mistake). The rain from tropical storms Danielle and Earl was actually very refreshing. Our stays were in both the bottom and top apartment and both were equipped with the perfect essential utilities and amenities for both kids and adults. I was thankful that they supplied LED battery operated emergency lights because we did lose power and of course we didn’t have our cell phones charged enough to use the phone flash light! Their towels prepped for us smelled so good! The owners and property manager, Miguel were all great! Miguel especially was awesome. He was there to greet us upon pulling up to the driveway as he lives across the street with his lovely wife. Miguel was attentive and so friendly and helpful. His smile was so welcoming! This place was also conveniently located to what is pretty much the only strip of currently open bars and “night life” during this time of year. Everything else was pretty much closed or closed before or by 8pm. The strip was a 5 minute walk and there was always one place open until 2am some nights a little later. Great music and the people here for the most part were so friendly too. If you’re looking for a safe, secure, clean and welcoming stay, these two apartments are it!

Lovely apartment less than 5 minutes from the main strip in Esperanza, but secluded enough for quiet nights. Gated driveway for a rental car/golf cart, outdoor hose and shower to rinse of sand, full-size fridge, plenty of fans throughout and a/c in the bedroom. A plethora of beach chairs and coolers are available for use, along with laundry on-site.

Clean + comfy beach respite
For a couple, it was spacious and very clean. My wife is a bit of a germaphobe and she felt extremely comfortable. It was well stocked with everything from sunscreen and bug spray to shampoo, and even nail polish remover. Even if something isn't there, you are right around the corner from the local store. The neighborhood is great - you are a 5 min walk from the Malecon, near different beaches, and are part of a nice residential community where you feel very safe. There are a lot of stray animals in the neighborhood but they do not pose any danger to you if you don't bother them. Chip and Angie were so helpful with making sure we checked in ok and gave recommendations as to where to go in the area, and were happy to talk to us before we took our trip and when we arrived. Miguel, the property manager, lives right across the street and was very friendly and available to answer questions and help out. If you need an affordable place to go and relax for a week, this is the place to do it.

Amazing stay in Esperanza!
We had an amazing stay at Chip and Angies rental in Esperanza! Great location - the unit is exceptionally clean and has everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was fully stocked (pots, pans, utensils, etc.), and they had everything you'd want for the perfect beach day (snorkels/fins, chairs, cooler, etc). Chip and Angie are extremely quick to respond and were amazing to provide all the details prior to arrival. Miguel the property manager was equally great! He greeted us upon arrival and showed us all around, and just across the street if we ever needed anything. Would highly recommend staying here!

Amazing Experience
Chip & Angie were fantastic hosts! Their communication was the best I’ve ever experienced across all platforms! Miguel (the neighbor) was amazing and checked in with us anytime he saw us outside! The beach & food recommendations of Chip & Angie were spot on. Loved the location & we definitely used the beach chairs & a cooler for our longer beach days! The only downfall was the roosters at all hours of the night, but there were earplugs next to the bed to use! We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Vieques!

Perfect Getaway
This was an awesome place in the beach town of Esperanza. The apartment had all the things we needed to be comfortable. It was super clean. We used the snorkeling gear, beach chairs, coolers and disc golf gear. There were also beach towels. The grilling area in the back patio was like a private secret garden. The bed was super comfortable. We did not use the air conditioner and were plenty comfortable with just the overhead fan. Great water pressure and hot water in the shower. The kitchen had a great set of non-stick pans and the gas stove made cooking easy. I can’t say enough about our hosts. Chip and Angie gave us spot on recommendations for directions and options to get to Vieques. The taxi driver they recommended was perfect. The location in the village was perfect for walking to the store the beach and restaurants. Amazing place, great VRBO experience.

My bucket trip to paradise.
The accommodations where exactly as pictured and described. Vieques has always been a paradise to me. The island has peaceful and serene vistas of the Caribbean that inspires awe and joy to the viewer. However, the real strength of this property is the owners. They where quickly responsive to request from us and unbelievable in their kind offers of help during the early days of the coronavisus and the uncertainties of possible restrictions that might hinder our travel from the island and to home.

Close to the beach and main strip
Chip and Angie were understanding and communicative hosts, providing a smooth checkin process and even letting us know before our trip that the recent earthquakes had no lasting visible effects on Vieques. The space was handy for making simple breakfast and keeping water cold in the fridge and freezer. The available beach chairs and snorkeling gear was a huge convenience. The location on a residential street made for quick and easy walks to the beach and main strip of restaurants in Esperanza. There were also guests in the separate lodging upstairs, but the most noise we encountered was from a neighbor and roosters. There were only shutters and screens on the windows, no glass panes, but the air conditioning unit and fans kept us cool. Thanks Chip and Angie for a wonderful place to stay!
