About this property

On the beach, a private pool, a house all to yourself.

The rare thing about Barefoot Bungalow is the privacy. You don't share a pool or the deck. You have the house, pool, yard and deck completely to yourself. Our Bungalow is located on the tranquil island of Vieques. Our three bedroom, 2 bath home is tastefully furnished in a relaxed, comfortable bungalow style. The property offers an array of amenities, including a pool for your use only, a deck overlooking the ocean, BBQ, washer and dryer, hammock and, of course, the beautiful blue sea a few steps from your doorstep. You can hear the crashing waves from your bedroom and still be surrounded by the tranquility of your own yard. Wake up in the morning and sit outside on your private patio, looking out over the waves at the islands of Culebra, Puerto Rico and on a clear day, St. Thomas, while you sip your coffee. Listen to the sounds of the surf breaking in the evening as the sun sets while you stroll in the sand looking for shells and sea glass, or lie peacefully swinging in the hammock.

Lounge by Pool: What can be more luxurious and refreshing than a dip in your own pool after a long day at the beach? Not much. Lounge in the sun, enjoy the lush tropical foliage, and maybe read a good book. Sit under the fountain and let the water splash over you. Watch the sea gulls and pelicans fly overhead and spot the iguana family that comes to feed on the hibiscus and sun on the wall. Take a night time dip and float on your back and gaze up at the stars.

Easy Living: Two of the things that our guests comment on most frequently are the great night's sleep they experience in our comfortable beds, and the luxurious sheets and towels we provide in abundance. We strive hard to make your experience the vacation you want it to be with a fully equipped kitchen (to help you prepare your fresh-caught seafood), air conditioning in all the rooms, and an outside dining area to enjoy the breeze off the ocean.
Note: Although we suffered some damage from Hurricane Maria, many of the island's inhabitants suffered much more. Three of the cottages next to us were totally destroyed. They are slowly trying to rebuild, and we applaud their positive attitudes and "can do" spirit. On the Island of Vieques, almost all of the cottages on the water, are located on the northern side of the island. Here the coral reef comes right up to the shore. These beaches including our are great for snorkeling, walking, and shelling and sea glass collecting. These are not the swimming beaches that Vieques is famous for. Those beaches are on the southern part of the island and are in protected parks for all to use. There are no beach houses on those beaches. On our beach swimming is possible where there is a break in the reef, but we like to swim at our favorite beaches like Caracas and Chiva on the south side.

This is the second year we have stayed at the Barefoot Bungalow and we were very happy! Great, easy beach access, beautiful ocean view from the yard! The home is very clean and plenty of room for the 5 of us adults. And can’t forget to mention our pet for the week, Hey Hey the chicken! Lots of fun and we will be back!!!!

Absolutely Perfect

We loved everything about our stay here. The hosts thought of everything, from the beach chairs and umbrella to the board games. Falling asleep to the ocean every night was wonderful. We made it a point to take a walk along the beach every morning and every morning since it was right there. The house was in a safe area so you felt secure being there.

We loved the house , the pool and the location. The house was very comfortable and Charming . Michael's property manager took very good care of us. She responded very quickly if we had any questions or concerns .the air conditioners were a must and kept us very comfortable. The disappointing part was the beach. We thought we were going to have a Sandy Beach and what we got was a beach with some sand and mostly rocks. We did not find out till we got there that you needed water shoes to get in the water because of sea urchins that if you stepped on them could send you to the hospital. Consequently we did not use the beach at all. We had an amazing time on Vieques ! loved the authenticity of the town, the people, the island, loved the horses, the crazy roads, the drivers, the chickens but if you think you're going to go and sunbathe and get in the water on a sandy beach close by this is not for you

Barefoot Bungalow in Paradise

The Barefoot Bungalow is a sweet cottage in a perfect location. Being able to watch and listen to the ocean from anywhere on the property - inside and out - was amazing! Especially relaxing in the afternoon or going to sleep. Communication with the owners was easy and prompt, and meeting Elizabeth - the house manager - was an absolute delight!

A BAREFOOT BUNGALOW! Clean! Loved it!

VERY clean house, pristine private pool, well-appointed kitchen, PLENTY of towels and sheets, right on the beach, well-organized, hidden gem. WE WILL BE BACK! We woke each morning to the sound of WAVES and we would make breakfast and eat it outside watching the tide. We felt very secure with the coded fence and the friendly neighbors. We can not say enough for this perfectly groomed 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house. This is a short drive from the grocery store and shops. Perfect for us as we dont care for town-noise. Also! We were usually the ONLY people at the beach behind the house. We felt very priveledged to stay at this gorgeous home on Vieques!femce and the frieny

Such a delight

Comminication with the owners and on location manager was exceptional. The property was clean and as advertised. It was clear that the owners took extra steps to make certain those who stay feel welcome and at home. The kitchen was very well stocked as was the house. Our family had everything we needed. The beach, view and pool were such a delight. There wasn't a day that went by that we weren't enjoying them all. The island was easily accessible and we enjoyed exploring all that Vieques had to offer.

Charming Caribbean Cottage on the Beach

We really enjoyed staying at this cottage located right on the beach. The neighborhood is very quiet. You will need a jeep to get here as it is a little far from town but it is no problem driving. The house was clean and well equipped and the beds were comfortable and the pool was very nice. There has been a lot of work done on the landscaping after the hurricane. We grilled lobsters and enjoyed walking on the beach and collecting glass and having wine on the patio in the evening overlooking the ocean. It is a perfect and vey private getaway.

Beach front cabana needs updating

The beach front location is amazing. Walk right out front yard to a quiet beach, good for waking but a little rocky for swimming. Ocean waves lull you to sleep. But the house is dated and needs updating. The couches had broken springs, a couple window fixtures were broken, the kitchen has old appliances, the place needs TLC to live up to its potential. Also there property shares

Wonderful relaxing stay!!

we had an incredible week long stay at this lovely cottage. Elizabeth was lovely and a great manager who communicated with us very well and answered any questions we had. The cottage is a little more dated than the profile photos but it really was a joy to be there. The house had everything we needed to cook and be really comfortable and relaxed. Having the beach right there and the pool for our kids to play in after a long day exploring other parts of the island. We enjoyed making our own pina coladas in the kitchen and drinking them in the front yard while playing with the hermit crabs and lizards that visit everyday. I was initially unsure if the location on the north side compared to Esparanza but it was so peaceful. I would book here again in a heartbeat.

Just as Advertised!

Five of us stayed at the house for a week. The house was clean and very comfortable! There is very easy access to the beach and a beautiful view from the patio in the yard. There are beach chairs and a cooler at the house as well as a bbq grill. There are lots of games and puzzles at the house if it rains while you’re there. The beach in front of the house is great for snorkeling, and if you go around the little point to the right, there’s a nice spot to gather sea glass. The hosts are the most responsive I have ever dealt with! They have a property manager if you need anything during your stay but if you need to reach the owners, they will get back to you pretty quickly!!!! We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay there again!

Great bungalow on private beach

The home is very Well kept and right on the beach. We were 3 adults and We had plenty of room. Enjoyed coffee on the oceanfront patio every morning and a dip in the pool after a day at the beach. Each room had its own AC for easy temp control. Great beds and lots of towels. The people we met all over the island were so helpful and friendly. Great food at Bananas and lazy jacks as well as a elegant evening at El blok (sunset views). We LOVED seeing all the horses, chickens, and dogs that roam the island. Lots of baby horses too! Biobay tour was great- jaks water sports-we had a moonless night so it was perfect conditions to see the twinkling plankton and the stars. The only thing that is needed in the description of the property is a note on the condition of some of the surrounding properties. They were hit hard and were not rebuilt. It would have been good to know that before driving in to the property and seeing the abandoned buildings. Nonetheless we got used to seeing them and even contemplated getting a bunch of friends to go in on buying the compound to rebuild because the beach was so amazing! We spent the last day snorkeling and walking the beach and wondering up the hill to the old horse ranch for an even more Amazing view. I will come back and will be sure to tell other about this gem !

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this home—perfect in every way for a family vacation! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully planned. Nightlights in every room made it easy for the kids to navigate after dark, and the abundance of hooks for towels and swimsuits was such a helpful touch (especially with little ones running in and out of the pool!). Speaking of the pool—it was a huge hit! Crystal clear, the perfect temperature, and very well maintained. We spent hours swimming, relaxing, and making memories that our family will cherish for years to come.There were plenty of towels; bath towels and beach towels were provided. Even laundry detergent was provided for the washer, cause we all know laundry never ends…. Even on vacation!!! The beds were incredibly comfortable, with soft, supportive pillows that made it easy to fall asleep after fun-filled days. Everything was clean, cozy, and set up to make our stay comfortable and stress-free.We can't recommend this home highly enough. It's ideal for families and truly felt like a home away from home. We’re already talking about coming back next year!!!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Gordon

Host profile image
My husband, Mike grew up in the quiet town of Houlton, Maine but his family vacationed each year at Wells Beach, Maine. I grew up in Stratford, Connecticut where the beach was always 10 minutes away. We met in San Antonio, while we were each pursuing our individual careers. We both love the ocean and can't ever get enough of it.

Why they chose this property

Vieques has something to offer all beach lovers. I like quiet waters to wade in and Media Luna on Vieques is perfect for that. Mike likes to sit under the palms, drink an adult beverage while he listens to the waves, and Red Beach is perfect for that. My daughter and son-in-law love to snorkel and Green Beach offers hours of snorkeling adventures. The people of Vieques are great! The Malecon in Esperanza is fun!

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of our bungalow are: 1) You have the whole house to yourself. 2) with a pool all to yourself, 3) on the beach 4) air conditioned through out 5) with a view of the ocean from the master bedroom and dining area 6)for less than $300 per night.
