About this property

Stunning Eco-Luxury Villa on Caribbean Sea Featuring 94 Foot Pool, Sleeps 16

Encantada Vieques is a five acre estate bordering the Caribbean Sea, just west of Esperanza on the southern side of Vieques. This brand new home is an open-air luxury villa designed by famed architect John Hix to maximize your time spent enjoying Vieques natural beauty. The home features absolutely stunning views of the Caribbean from every room, including five outdoor showers. Lounge in the 94 foot infinity pool, enjoy roof deck cocktails and walk down to Coco Beach. Book now, bring camera!

I legitimately believe this is the most beautiful place on the planet! So much so that my fiancé and I are getting married here in February of 2019. So my money is where my mouth is, so to speak. And we would love to host you on your first (or next!) visit to Vieques.

Encantada is an open air, concrete eco-luxury villa that combines indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly together and gives you true enjoyment of nature in a remote island paradise. There is absolutely no glass in the entire house, yet the temperature is perfect.

Featuring a 94 foot infinity pool steps from the kitchen, dining and living space, and a two minute walk down to a gated beach entrance, this home is exactly what you ve been waiting for and reading about experiencing in Vieques.

Before you sleep you ll look up into the night sky and see the Milky Way, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter clearly and you ll realize how everywhere you usually travel has light pollution that ruins your star views. When you wake up in the morning you may see wild horses walking along the beach and hear waves crashing on the shore.

At dusk, AKA "golden hour" you ll see the most beautiful sunsets reflected on the clouds and the coconut palm trees reaching up towards the sky west of the property. You will wonder why you should even leave for dinner at the phenomenal local restaurants when you could just cook hamburgers on the grill and drink beers and frozen drinks while the sun sets.

OK, enough romance. Some quick facts about the house and property:

-Encantada is a 3 minute drive or 10 minute walk to Esperanza, the beautiful, sleepy fishing village on the southern coast that is quickly becoming the hub of tourism on Vieques

-The home features 6,000+ square feet of living space and comfortably sleeps 16. That s using five bedrooms (two of which have sleeper sofas in addition to their king size beds) + one office with a sleeper sofa

-There is a 94 foot infinity pool that sits just off the main living space and faces down towards the Caribbean Sea

-There is a walk way down from the pool to a gated beach entrance that opens onto Coco Beach, one of the most picturesque beaches I ve ever seen. Victoria s Secret Swim 2015 was shot here on this beach.

-There is beautiful landscaping including interior courtyard bamboo gardens, lush pool planters and multiple outdoor showers

-All of our appliances are brand new and high end. Wolf stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, two pairs of washer and drier, etc. Complete luxury.

-Similarly all of our furniture is brand new, primarily Restoration Hardware brought in by containers from the mainland US and designed to be beachy, clean and modern and allow complete post-beach relaxation

I fell in love with Vieques about two years ago and only wish I could spend more time there. I’m more than happy to share my favorite island activities and restaurants with you as helpful. Our goal is to help you experience the best that Vieques has to offer.

*The Casita is currently being renovated & there are no guests staying at the Casita. There is minor interior construction ongoing but no disturbance to Villa guests** There is a Casita on a different part of the five acres (see my other listing). Together, guests from each house can access the entirety of the property outside of the two individual homes, from the electronic gated main entry to the gorgeous beachfront, also accessed by private gated entry. Casita guests cannot access the main villa nor the main villa pool, and Villa guests cannot access the Casita.

Absolutely spectacular! We searched for a venue that would be able to sleep 13 people and be able to host our wedding. From the moment I walked into Encantada my entire spirit was overcome with joy. From the wild horse roaming the beach to the beach itself, they had everything we could possibly want or need, the grounds were magnificent and Playa El Cocal was my favorite beach out of all I visited. We had the most amazing wedding anyone could ask for, it was truly a magical experience. Thank you so much. Jim S

Awesome time in paradise

Beautiful home , wide open and in touch with nature , the view of the ocean, star gazing from each room and the view from the rooftop terrace for sunsets was amazing. The pool is unbelievable , the site of the home is right next to the Mélançon to the right and close to the black sand beach to the left . An overall joyous Easter week-weekend for my family , there was 12 of us in all, we were comfortable, in awe and had a truly great time . 5 star owners who were available for any questions and attentive to our needs, as a villa owner myself I not only give the property 5 stars I give the hosts 10 stars out of 5!

Stunning property in Beautiful Vieques!

We stayed at the property with a group of 13 friends. We had a fabulous time, and Karen was great in helping us prepare for our stay. She was very communicative and made everything very smooth. The temperature was great, and it was nice to be connected to nature. The property is absolutely stunning, I don't think pictures really do the house justice! The pool is HUGE and amazing, and having direct access to a beautiful beach and lots of room to relax and spread out in the house was amazing. Note that the property is completely open air, so it has no windows.

A Dream Property

The views day and night were out of this world. We took our family of 16 people. The house fit everyone extremely comfortably. The kitchen has absolutely everything you may need. There is an ice maker for ice. All beds were comfortable and plenty of supplies for everyone. The third floor views were spectacular. The pool was well kept and huge. The beach in front was perfect for a daily dip. The yard in front was perfect for volleyball , soccer or kites. Karen was attentive each day of our stay. And helped us with anything needed. Thank you so much for an amazing experience that we will never forget! We will surely be back again!Edelweiss

Fantastic beach house

This house is amazing! We flew into San Juan and then booked a shuttle to the Puerto Rico Ferry. You will want to get your online tickets at the beginning of the month. Once there, we picked up our 3 cars from Maritzas. Karen (property manager) greeted us and was wonderful helping us with everything. We had 13 people and a baby. The house was clean and comfortable. Loved the open air throughout the house. Drove to different beaches, did a fishing charter, bioluminescence bay, and enjoyed 2 different chefs that came to the house. Chef Sonia Romero and Chef Beverly Davenport. The grocery stores had enough to have meals at the house. The pool was great. Our boys were able to play some baseball in the large yard. This place is by far the best vacation home on a wonderful island.

Beautiful property and location. Be sure to understand what “Eco” means.

The property is incredible! Great location, stunning view. Karen the property manager is top notch and was easy to communicate with. I couldn’t quite give it 5 stars. For a couple of reasons: 1. It’s an “eco” property so all the windows and doors stay open all the time. This is so it stays cool enough with no A/C. It stayed plenty cool, but because of this there are a fair number of insects, including mosquitos, that enter the house. The mosquito nets were more like little tents you put on top of the bed, rather than a net that goes over the bed. The listing doesn’t mention any of this, so it’s good to be aware of it. 2. For the nightly price we paid we had hoped for hot water. It worked in one shower, but the others were lukewarm at best. Also would recommend better shower heads in the upstairs bathrooms. They were quite cheap and didn’t work well. Not a big deal, but again for the price paid we expected a little more. Other than these two minor issues, we had a blast.

A truly unique and memorable vacation

I will say it was just perfect. The location is exceptional, with a beautiful view, and peaceful environment. The beach in front is very pretty and pleasant, and perfect to go on morning or afternoon walks. It is an open style house to enjoy nature, so it is important that you all go aware and prepared to deal with bugs, midnight sounds, and possible storms, but none of it counteracts all of the amazing experiences this house has to offer. And Vieques is just extraordinary.

Encantada was where our dream wedding took place

Encantada was unbelievably beautiful. Waking up every morning with an open air stunning view was amazing. The concrete style house makes for a fun setting for large gatherings or a wedding. We got married in front of the house which was a gorgeous setting for a wedding ceremony. The beach in front although rocky is also a great setting for pictures. There is an impressive industrial kitchen which was great for cooking for the whole family. The outdoor showers in each room are also a fun touch. We did have an issue that the pool wasn’t fully filtering but that was fixed towards the end of our stay. Also, beware of the bugs. All of the rooms are open air and the house is well equip with candles and off but I got at least 30-40 bug bites (mosquitos and nociums) on my arms the first night. We plan on coming back with a group of people for our anniversary in the future. The town of Esperanza was very friendly and had great food. We also caught fresh grouper on a fishing trip, had a local in town fillet them for us and then grilled them at the house. This was our best meal of the trip! The owners at Encantada are extremely friendly and worked with us throughout several different rescheduling processes for our wedding. People like this deserve the utmost regards and praise.

Encantada Vieques is a dream

We love it so much this is the second year we are back. Encantada is the perfect space to gather responsibility as everything is open and everyone has room to spread out. For sunrise lovers, sunset lovers, nature lovers, beauty lovers, fun lovers, Encantada is your perfect stay with Karen being the perfect hostess making sure all is set up to your needs. Everything ran smoothly at the airport for our flights in and out. If you manage to get out of the enchantment of the house, we recommend three musts: The biobay experience, Red Beach, and Black beach.

We had an amazing time! The property has an excellent location- walk to town, walk to beach. Architecture and design of the house makes you feel in paradise in every single corner with amazing views of the ocean, green scenery, horses cruising by. The pool is something else; we spent most of the days and nights in the pool! Would definitely come back!

very special getaway

My review is similar to the others - first the house and views are better than the photos, truly a very special place. We spent sunsets on the rooftop, as well as star gazing at night (amazing clear sky), and long days in the luxurious pool. The location is also fantastic as it's isolated and private, but walking distance to the mercado. Vieques in general is very lovely and we enjoyed exploring the island and sampling everything from local cuisine (the food truck court is great) to fine dining at Cafe Del Mar. Highly recommend renting a car. And like the others said, mosquitos and bugs are part of the experience. The bugs were hilarious (not abundant but big and scary) and manageable, the mosquitos pretty bad but the house provides lots of fans and sprays to help. Karen is a gem and both Daniel and Tania were wonderful to communicate with. And like someone else said, while the house can sleep many people (sofa beds abound), it's really a 5 bedroom, with 4 ensuite. Also absolutely loved the outdoor showers. Overall a terrific find.

Wonderful place for a group or family vacation!

Karen was so helpful and made checking in easy. The property was just as I thought it would be, based on the photos. Spacious, clean, lots of room for everyone to spread out and not be crowded at all. The pool was perfect! Great for laps and just lounging around. There was a coffee maker, dishwasher, large fridge and freezer, two sets of washers & dryers, and a couple of hairdryers. Having beach chairs, a cooler and plentiful towels was a bonus. Located an easy few minute drive to town, and just a minute to the beach in front of the house. It will be hard to top this place!

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Wallace

Host profile image
I'm an entrepreneur based in Boston with a passion for health, traveling, learning and fitness. I love warm weather and being outside, which led me to create the property I host in Vieques, Puerto Rico. If you plan on traveling to the Caribbean be sure to check out Encantada Vieques! My team located in Vieques is outstanding at what they do and you will truly be in the best of hands from the moment your puddle jumper sets down in paradise until the moment you are sadly forced to leave. Let me know how I can help you have a great trip to Vieques!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Vieques in 2014 when I traveled here for 1 day to visit the bioluminescent bay. I immediately came back a few weeks later and began my search for a property, and when I arrived at Encantada, I knew this was a special place to build a home. The views, the surrounding nature, the beach access, and the proximity to Esperanza are unmatched. I legitimately believe this is the most beautiful place on the planet! So much so that my fiancé and I are were married here in February of 2019. So my money is where my mouth is, so to speak. And we would love to host you on your first (or next!) visit to Vieques.
