About this property

Hidden Gem in Esperanza--Easy Walk to Waterfront, Restaurants, Shops & Beach

Enjoy your morning coffee or dinner al fresco on the spacious wrap-around porches of this light and breezy, fully-renovated house close to the Malecon in Esperanza.

Featuring a modern, fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances, a gas stove, dishwasher, eat-in bar, and high ceilings with fans in every room, Casa de Pepito was designed to take full advantage of the prevailing breezes. Sleep soundly in either the Coqui room with king bed, dressing room and private bath, or the Tortuga room's queen bed with private bath, all furnished with pure cotton bedding and thick cotton towels. While the trade winds keep the house cool on most days, the bedrooms are air-conditioned for sleeping comfort on warmer nights.

Numerous fine restaurants, shops, bars and night life, a small grocery and local bakery, as well as water sport rentals and world famous Sun Bay Beach are just a short walk away. There is also a lovely park close by with a children's playground, adult workout equipment, a jogging path, picnic pavilions and public bathrooms.

Casa de Pepito is equipped with beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and coolers; beach toys and snorkel equipment; books, games, puzzles, a flat screen TV with a small DVD library, WiFi/Internet, and a CD player with a collection of CDs.

The two spacious bedrooms with en suite baths make this house ideal for 2 couples or a small family. And because you can walk to just about everything, you won't be stranded at home if someone else takes the car to a remote beach for the day. It's both the perfect central location to explore the island from, and the ideal place to just hang out on the porch reading, or stroll down to the waterfront for lunch, a drink, or a little shopping.

Wonderful home away from home near the Malecon!!!
My sister, niece and I took a girls trip and we could not have imagined a better place today. Clean, cute and comfortable. The home is nice and airy with big bedrooms and bathrooms and an open kitchen/living room area for socializing. We loved sitting on the porch watching the horses and roosters. The location is 10 out of 10…. close to a market and a quick and safe walk to the Malecon. We plan to go back and will definitely stay here again. The owner and property manager were informative, friendly and responsive. If you want a no stress experience, we recommend you stay here! Thank you for an awesome week.

Vieques
We had a great time at the island. It was nice being just up the road from the main restaurant area but not so close we could hear it at night. We appreciated the fans/a/c for comfort but also to try and block out the roosters that roam and make noise all night. We loved the beach stuff we could use and enjoyed the beautiful beaches each day. Catherine was so helpful for any help we needed!

Close to Esparanza
Convenient location. Short walk to town. Very large and well appointed. Great for 2 couples. Do not recommend for people who want quiet. Roosters are loud all morning and neighbors dogs bark quite a bit. We are not bothered by these things, so we had a fantastic stay enjoying all the beautiful scenery of Vieques..

Small island getaway
The house layout was perfect for two couples. Comfortable living area and kitchen as well as bedrooms. There was always an ocean breeze which enabled us to sit out on the porch whenever we wanted to. We walked to the Malecón restaurants at night. House manager was very attentive to solving a few issues we needed help with.
