Vacation where there are possibly more free range horses than people. Do a guided night kayak tour to witness the magical and mysterious greenish blue glow of the Dinoflagellates in Mosquito Bay-the worlds brightest Bioluminescent Bay Experience beautiful, secluded tropical beaches that you will most likely have all to yourself!
A short 1 Block walk to the Malecon, but far enough away as not to be affected by the sometimes boisterous late nights. A one block easy walk to several beaches. And an easy 2 block walk to restaurants/bars. A very short walk to Lydia's Colmado, (neighborhood market), which is convenient for many small items. Sit out on the front porch and watch as horses freely roam the neighborhood, looking for the greenest grass to nibble on!
While you don't need a rental vehicle since all of Esperanza and several beaches are within easy walking distance, you may wish to rent one to explore all that Isla Nena has to offer, including the numerous beaches within the Wildlife Refuge.
Dos Palmas is located in a nice residential neighborhood with great neighbors, a mix of local residents and rental properties.
There are dogs, cats, chickens, horses, 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 rental home. Chip & Angie

The house was great, clean had everything we needed. Only wish the whole house had Air conditioning but it wasn’t too hot for us. Having the little grocery store just around the corner was a plus. Very close to restaurants.Chip and Angie were easy to talk to and check in was great. Miguel was there when we arrived and was around if needed. Vieques was amazing .
Great location and plenty of space. The breeze through the house is amazingly effective in keeping it cool and the A/Cs worked great in the bedrooms. Location is perfect - close to the small grocery store and walkable to restaurants. We ended up always driving to the beaches to get to less busy locations. But everything is a short drive so was not a big deal. Chip and Angie were lovely and very responsive and gave us some great recommendations. We’ll be back!

Thank you so much for this review, glad you enjoyed our place!
We fell in love with Vieques and Chip and Angie’s place was the perfect home base. It was easy to walk into town, Miguel and his family across the street made us feel very welcome, and we can’t wait to return and relax on the balcony again after a trip to one of the many gorgeous beaches!

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We're very fortunate to have great neighbors in Miguel & Zaida, and family. Welcome to return anytime!
This was our third time in Vieques, first time at this VBRO. For our family of five this was absolutely perfect - dark and quiet bedrooms ( with in bedroom AC units and earplugs for those that don’t love hearing the roosters, well supplied kitchen , and central location. Walking distance to the ocean / beaches but also close to all the other amazing attractions/beaches this island has to offer. Kids also loved being able to walk to the store a block away to get after dinner ice cream treats , supplies for dinner , etc - a small convenience store so close is a also a big win despite having a jeep.
The place was very nice and exceeded out expectations. The house was well appointed, and the beach chairs/umbrella got good use :) Took a little bit to get used to the AC in the rooms only, but that was expected and we got used to it by the second day. Laundry came in handy and wasn't a bad walk to the restaurants and biobay tour (the outdoor shower was great for the post tour mud lol). Miguel across the street was very nice and welcoming. Also the grocery store was very convenient around the corner and had way more stuff than I was expecting. Would stay here again!

Thank you for your nice review. We're happy to hear that our vacation rental exceeded your expectations!
We had a lovely stay at Angie and Chip's place. The location was convenient for walking to the grocery store and local shops, beaches, restaurants, and excursions. The home had all we needed for cooking and relaxing when not at one of the many amazing beaches. Everything worked well and Angie and Chip were responsive. Vieques is a beautiful place, with a laid back lifestyle. We will be back!

Great accommodations.Very good kitchen set up with everything you need. Very friendly manager across the street.Beautiful front porch, balcony where you can catch an eye of ocean now and then.Great neighborhood at mix of local Puerto Ricans and tourist close to the malecón.
This home has what you need: beach chairs, coolers, backyard seating with a grill with cool party lighting… perfect location to the Malecon. Limbres (a cool frozen treat) sold by a local woman, a convenience store basically across the street, …. Comfortable beds and very good air con for bedrooms.

We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for this review.
House was perfect for our family of 4. Everything was clean and AC worked perfectly. We only ran it at night when we slept. Very close to a small grocery store and a quick drive to the beaches in our rental car. Miguel is their helper and he was very helpful getting check in. Would stay again if we come back.

We're glad you enjoyed our vacation rental home and Vieques. Thank you!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dos Palmas. It's walking distance from the main street with restaurants and shops as well as several local beaches. They had everything you could want from a beach house - outdoor rinse stations, a big front porch for lounging or drying towels, sea breezes in the living area and AC in the bedrooms. The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, utensils, etc. for us to make dinner at home a couple of nights. Miguel met us to show us the house and hand over the keys and made sure to wave goodbye as we pulled out. This was definitely a place I can recommend and would stay at again.

Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and found our location convenient, along with everything provided. Miguel is the best, and good to hear you would return!
It was an excellent, its the way these rentals were before 2020. Clean, comfortable, Kitchen actually has essentials in it (not that we cooked much). Beds were super comfortable, the AC in the bedrooms worked great. I would stay there again if I ever go back and its available. The neighborhood is very quiet after 10pm except for roosters. Very easy walk to all the restaurants, in town .

We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed our vacation rental home, and found everything needed for a great stay-Thank you!
Being a long time visitor to Isla Nena I’m so glad we picked this south shore home! Short walk to the Malecon for amazing sunsets, snorkeling and dining. Also close to Sombe and many other south side amazing beaches. The house had everything we needed with air conditioned comfortable rooms. Chip checked in regularly and the house host Miguel was welcoming and helpful like all beautiful Viequense locals.David Mac

Nice to hear that you enjoyed the house and Vieques. Everyone ends up on the south side, because the south side is the best side! Miguel is just wonderful, we're
fortunate to have him looking after our home. Nice chatting with you, come back any time!
About the host
Hosted by Chip & Angie Hicks
After traveling to various islands in the Caribbean, we knew immediately we had found "Our Island" on our first trip to Vieques. After several trips we found our home, and we hope to share it with others so they may discover the beauty of Vieques for themselves.
In our travels we always stayed at small family owned places with a self contained kitchen for the option of eating in. Our kitchen is well stocked so that could be an option on your vacation as well, though we do recommend sampling some of the many restaurant options Esperanza and the Island have.
Why they chose this property
With the spacious rooms and large front balcony to enjoy the breeze, and being within walking distance to everything in Esperanza, and the proximity to the F&W beaches-it's a great location for a vacation home.
What makes this property unique
Located in a nice neighborhood with great neighbors, a mix of local residents and rental properties. It is within easy walking distance to bars/restaurants, and local activities, and the Esperanza waterfront.
