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 was the first time I took my family on a big vacation. I was so blessed to find this property. The location is amazing being right on the beach and its in a quiet neighborhood. The service and support from the property manager and the owners was excellent. The house itself is beautiful, clean and cozy. Its everything I wanted the vacation of a lifetime to be for my family. Having coffee and reading my Bible on the patio with the beach a few yards away was one of the many highlights for me.
Amazing place! The home was perfect for our family of five. It was windy with rough waves while we were there; having the pool for the kids to safely swim in was a life saver! Michael and Melyssa were both friendly and great to work with. I walked into town one morning and felt very safe. Everyone I encountered on the island was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!
The property surpassed our expectations. It was so nice to be right on the beach - while the beach is shared with a few other houses it feels like it’s your own private beach. While it’s not a swimming beach it’s perfect for walks, sea glass, shell, and rock hunting. Some of the best swimming beaches we have been to are less than a 15 minute drive across the island. The house is well appointed and accommodating to travelers. Having things like a cooler, ice packs, beach chairs, and lots of beach towels available for guest use are really nice touches. The kitchen has everything you need and the welcome basket is a very nice touch. The beds, pillows, and linens make all the difference in a rental and this one did a great job with their selections. We slept amazing- listen to the waves at night was a highlight. We took our teen daughter and elderly mother - we all very much enjoyed the week we spent on the island. There is a small amount construction going on next door, but they are very considerate of guests and did not bother us at all. The island is still rebuilding from the hurricane, while the progress feels slow it’s great to see the community investing in repairs and we look forward to seeing the progress when we return in a few years.
We had another outstanding time, second year now. The location is incredibly beautiful and the house is very comfortable and complete with everything needed to make yourself at home. We cooked the majority of our meals in the kitchen and ate them on the outdoor patio. The pool is perfect and having in-house laundry is such a plus for a week-long trip.
Highly recommend this unit. The host and on island representative were very helpful and respond immediately. The unit is as pictured on a beautiful beach that was perfect for setting up a chair and reading(no swimming however). And the pool and outside area were great for relaxing.
The Barefoot Bungalow was simply amazing. We had everything we needed and more. The pool and beach were fantastic and the property manager was very responsive with any question we had. I highly recommend this little piece of heaven!Definitely would love to visit again.Tricia - from Michigan
The property manager (Melyssa) met us and showed us exactly how to get to the house. The Internet went down after the storm the day we arrived. Melyssa was able to get it fixed quickly the next day. Everything was clean and as described. Would stay here again!
We were thrilled with our stay at this beautiful property! The house had everything we needed - comfortable beds, plenty of towels/linens, dishes/cooking utensils, stable Wi-Fi...I can't think of much that we needed that was not provided! The pool was clean, fun, and very well maintained. It was great having a washer and dryer on site. This is the best property we have stayed at. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Wow! We are so thankful when our guests enjoy the Bungalow. We stay at the Bungalow ourselves so we furnish it with everything that we think people will need and enjoy. We bake so there are baking pans. We cook so there are kitchen tools and appliances. We sleep there for weeks so the beds have to be comfortable. We want our guests to feel as comfortable as if they were home. Thank you Monara for the kind words and please come again.
The property was amazing! Our family of 4 had more than enough space to relax. The accessibility of the beach was so great for morning and evening strolls. The house had everything we needed to enjoy the island!

Chris and his party were amazing guests and we hope they come and stay again
We had a great stay this week- family of 5 with 3 teens. Beach and views are awesome. Quiet location but short drive to town for groceries and restaurants. Host very responsive. Would stay here again!
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!!!!
Everything about this property was wonderful! Just the right amount of space, clean, and had everything we needed. Beach walks, snorkeling on the beach, horses everywhere, and the perfect jumping off point for Vieques adventures! We hope to be back!

We are always thrilled when Barefoot Bungalow can provide our guests with the perfect vacation. We look forward to having Emily back.
Great property with both beach and pool! The place was cozy any well maintained. Walking distance to town/restaurants (20mins) was also very nice. Host and property owners were all very helpful, would recommend.
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!!!
We had so many questions and so much help from the property manager. The service and the home was impeccable. Thank you for having me and my family. It’s a beautiful place!
Absolutely loved the location! Beautiful beach out the front door, secluded swimming pool in the backyard, far enough from town to have some "quiet", but close enough to get everywhere easily. The house is well equipped with cooking supplies, games and books. The bed was comfortable. We would have been happy just hanging out at the bungalow for our entire stay!
The rooms are exactly as the photos! I loved EVERY MINUTE of my vacation. The Property Manager is so helpful and available when needed, The pool was such an added plus!!!
We had a great week in Vieques. This property has such a cozy cottage feel. Very good communication. Very well stocked.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Gordon
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.
