Unique Qualities of casa vieques
Location, Location , Location
Even locals marvel that there are still places like this on Vieques. Situated on 2 acres on the south side of the island with a view of the sloping hillsides and the ocean. All the surrounding properties are also 2 acre tracts. The feeling of spaciousness and the views are a unique quality of this home.
Because there are few homes in the area, light pollution is minimized. You can actually see the Milky Way on clear nights.
Situated 2 miles from Esperanza and only a short distance up the driveway to 201 which will take you around the island quickly. Many homes on the island do not have easy access. It takes a lot of time and toll on your car to get almost anywhere.
Casa Vieques is built strong and is insulated
In September of 2016 Casa Vieques was hit head on with a Category 5 hurricane. It was the only house in the area that had no serious damage. Only one wall needed to be painted.
The structure of the home was designed to withstand hurricanes and earthquakes. It took months and a lot of money for other homes to make repairs . The walls are 11 inches thick and are insulated on the inside and outside. There is only one other home on the island that has this amazing construction.
peaceful and quiet surrounded by nature
Even though your are close to a main road the hillside blocks the noise and you feel like you are all alone on the island. Everyday the horses visit. This is one of the great features of Casa Vieques. We designed the house so that the runoff from the roof empties into a water trough for the horses. There are also monarch butterflies, hummingbirds, hawks, white herons, gecko's and more. There is a very large mango tree and a tamarind tree on the property. The mangoes are some of the best on the island.
If you are a nature lover Casa Vieques is the perfect place to call home. We have a rating of 9.8 out of 10 on VRBO which is considered excellent.
