Beautiful Property

Overall, the property was a decent fit for my family. Not worth the over 6,000.00 I paid for the week. In a decrepit neighborhood! The pool was the shining star of the whole place. The property is in need of some TLC. There are several areas in different rooms that had leaks constantly dripping which we had to keep applying paper towels to, These leaks seem to have been going on for some time as there is damage to the floor tiles.We were getting dripped on continuously in several different places. We bought several rolls of paper towels because of these leaks. Definitely not going back to this property.

Amazing House

My family had an amazing vacation in Vieques! Villa Altamira was absolutely beautiful and even better than the photos. The house was very clean and well stocked with plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, kitchen supplies etc. The beds were very comfortable with very nice linens and bathrobes in every room. The outdoor space was absolutely incredible and the perfect private oasis to relax. The pool and view was beyond expectations. The sunsets and views by the pool or outdoor fire pit can't be beat. It's an absolutely stunning and private space to relax and the views will take your breath away! The owners, Annette and Dennis were very responsive, accommodating and helpful during the booking process and Melyssa, the caretaker was extremely helpful throughout our stay. She had great recommendations for activities, restaurants and even was able to get us ferry tickets when we were unable to purchase them. This is an absolute gem of a property and we would love to return. Thank you for an amazing family vacation!

Perfect Stay in Paradise

This home was the perfect place for our week stay in Vieques! It was beautiful inside and out. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking our own meals. The location was convenient. Dennis was very helpful throughout, and Melyssa was available to answer questions during our stay. We are looking forward to returning.

Villa Altamira Vieques

Mine was a three and a half week stay and my fifth at Villa Altamira. Melyssa and Hector are the caretakers and they are wonderful, helpful, friendly. The house, the pool, the view and the Isabel community and town are superb not to mention friendly people, cats, horses, chickens and dogs. Great restaurants and beaches nearby. Vieques is my favorite vacation spot. Thank you !

Villa Altamira

Lovely location overlooking the town of Isabel Segunda. Recently updated in bright colors which we felt really captured the mood of the Island. The rooms are spacious, and the kitchen was appointed well enough we could cook. This was our 6th trip to Vieques and plan to return again.

We loved Villa Altimara! Our family of 5 had a great time on the island and got exactly what we went there for. We wanted to unplug, unwind and relax... We did just that. Thanks for a offering such a wonderful place for rent!

Awesome Christmas

Spent the holidays at Villa Altamira and loved it! Beautiful views which we stared at from the covered porch, even sat through rain showers. The pool was amazing and someone was in everyday. The beds are hard but that doesn’t even warrant one less star because everything else was great!

All that one needs to relax and enjoy a vacation!

Great property and house with all the amenities a family could need. House had wifi, beach toys, pool toys, snorkel, cooler, umbrella, beach chairs, PLENTY of beach towels, BBQ grill outside and more. Great stay and would highly recommend though would not consider it walkable to downtown Isabel. Property is up on hill and drivers are a bit crazy. ;)

Villa Altamira is exactly as described

Five of us had a great experience at Villa Altimira. The three en suite bedrooms on three different levels worked well for us. The views from the terrace overlooking the ocean between Vieques and Puerto Rico were incredible reminding me of a scene from a movie. The only caution is the parking, though off street can be difficult to manage. The house was clean and well equipped, everything you need is available at Altamira. It really was hard to leave, as the swimming pool really is perfect.

Exactly as described!

We had an amazing week in Vieques and Altamira, and the property manager Melyssa was a big reason. We had inconvenient arrival and departure times, and Melyssa was great about doing her best to accommodate. The house is beautiful and exactly as described. The teens walked to town most nights for an ice cream and my husband and I would sit on the pool terrace with a cocktail and watch the sunsets. We were a group of 6 - 4 older teens and 2 adults and the house worked great for us. Everyone found their space to retreat to, but the common spaces worked great when we all wanted to watch a movie or eat dinner. Lastly, the beaches in Vieques were beyond compare. They were so beautiful and deserted. We went to a different one each day, and they all were incredible. But, a 4 wheel drive is required for almost all. A great vacation at a great house. Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent location and extremely private.

Location was great to walk to down and minutes from ferry. The pictures were deceiving. The place is great but needs some TLC and kitchen could be cleaner. Grill was missing a grease pan and grease was spilling on the deck and I did not find the washing machine. They should leave a manual for guest. If you want a no frills get away with privacy THIS IS THE PLACE.

Paradise

We can't say enough good things about the house and the island. The house was very clean and accommodated our group of 10 with lots of elbow room! The property is beautiful with plants, trees, and flowers. It feels private. I loved getting up early to have coffee on the deck with the view of the water. Walking around town was a favorite as well as snorkeling at Mosquito pier. The beaches are amazing and so few people that you feel like you have the beach to yourself. We rented a 4wd Jeep so we could get to some remote beaches. It was hard to leave...

Amazing views, outdoor space, comfortable vacation spot!

We had 2 adults and 3 teenagers on our trip and we all loved every minute of our stay at this property. The house was well equipped with coolers, beach chairs, towels and everything we needed in the kitchen to make some simple meals. The decks and pool area were amazing and we watched every sunrise and sunset from one of the comfortable outdoor spaces. Meylissa was extremely responsive and a great resource for help with transportation and any other question we had. The roads around the property are a little tricky if it's your first time to the island, but easy to navigate with 4 wheel drive (which you will want to get to green beach anyway :)) We would love to stay in this property again. Thanks for opening your beautiful home to our family.

Beautiful View

We had a family vacation at Villa Altamira last week. It was perfect for six adults. Our young adult grandson enjoyed the down stairs with his good friend. The house had everything we needed for our stay. The beach chairs, towels and cooler really made our beach trips easy and fun. The beaches are great we really enjoyed the snorkeling. We enjoyed looking at the water and sky at night. The pool is very nice as well as the lawn furniture around the pool and porch. We enjoyed eating most of our meals on the porch. It was a plus to have a washer and dryer. You you do need a car to get to the beaches. We had a wonderful week.

Lovely!

We stayed in Villa Altamira this past week and we couldn't have been any happier with the home. At first, we were bummed not to be ocean front. As soon as we got to the villa and took one look off of the deck, we knew we made the right decision. This home has AMAZING views of the entire island and the house is so beautiful. We enjoyed the pool the whole week and made some fond memories here. John and Karen were very helpful throughout the whole planning and booking process which made us thankful. The property managers were also helpful and super friendly. Our overall experience was 100% positive. The only thing I would change is not staying longer.

wonderful.....

We stayed at villa Altamira for a week, not long enough. The house is great. Clean and comfortable. There were 5 adults and 1 teenager. Plenty of room for all of us to have our own space. The view and pool were fantastic as well as the large porch where we ate breakfast and dinner very day. It was nice to have some staples left in the kitchen, ie: spices, oil, etc..... we left some as well for the next group. Parking was challenging but once we figured it out it went well all week. Annette and Dennis were great, very prompt and friendly. The property is beautifully planted with lovely plants and flowers. Easy walk to town but you will need a car to get around the island. Our 4rd time to the island and we will be back....

A Great Vacation!

We came to Vieques for the second time and brought 2 of our best friends for the week. The house was everything that we expected and more. The weather has been picture perfect with only a few occasional showers. We have been to several beaches and have had some great snorkeling. Was disappointed that we couldn't see the Biobay and hopefully the problem will be resolved in the future. Villa Altamira is a beautiful and very cozy house. Annette and Dennis were great and really helped when we found out that our return flight was cancelled on 2/12 due to bad weather in Atlanta. Fortunately , we have been able to get a flight back to Atlanta on 2/14. No complaints from us for several more days in paradise. Thank you John and Karen for sharing your home! We will definitely be back! Marty, Jenny, Chris and Jeannine

Wonderful house with a great view

Went from Sweden to get some sun and bath after a Cold and dark Winter. Vieques and Villa Altamira really lived up to our needs. This is a beatiful Villa with a great view, fully equiped. We spent most evenings on the terrass making our own food in the sunset and it was really relaxing and nice. The temperature is perfect in the evenings. We also enjoyed the pool in the afternoons after having visited some of all nice beaches. Great service around the house and everytime we had a question we got a quick and satisfaying answere. We also rented a car for the whole time we were there to explore Vieques all beaches during the days, and I really recomend that yor hire a jeep, since the roads are gumpy ande sometimes filled with water after a short rain. I also recommend that you go on a snorkeling tour som that you can snorkel on the reefs, Beautiful and Amazing to snorkel among turtels and other fish. I can really recomend the Villa Altamira. Its beatiful and nice!
