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

My extremely experienced property manager, Karen, will be available as desired during your stay. She knows Vieques quite well and has handled every rental issue under the sun for her other properties. She is a truly invaluable resource, dedicated to making your stay on Vieques absolutely amazing. 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.

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.
During your stay at this villa, you're just a quick walk from Coconut Beach. You'll find features like an outdoor pool, a gym, and a spa tub. A private pool and a kitchen are available in the villa.
  • The villa offers a private pool, a kitchen, and a washer/dryer
  • Take a swim in the outdoor pool or soak in the spa tub
  • Onsite recreation includes a gym and a playground
  • 7 minutes by car from Bioluminescent Bay and 12 minutes from Vieques Ferry Terminal
This villa offers its guests an outdoor pool, a spa tub, and a fitness center. The family-friendly villa also features barbecue grills and a garden.

This Vieques villa is smoke free.

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.

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.

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.

Encantada is truly a one of a kind property. Between the open layout, the immaculate views everywhere you turn, the proximity to the water, and the massive lawn, it is like you have your own boutique hotel in paradise. We hosted our wedding here and it was a total dream! Daniel, Tania, and their team made sure that our stay was as perfect as possible. Would love to stay here again one day!

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!

Celebrating friendship @ Vieques, PR
The house is beautiful, comfortable, a DREAM. Location is privileged, close to all beautiful beaches and to Esperanza town. Karen, the manager, was excellent, helpful and always available for our needs. The only drawback (for us) is that the house is ”eco-friendly” :::: no A/C, not that bad because the breeze from the ocean kept the house ventilated and fresh. BUT! having no windows or screens, made us vulnerable to unexpected insect visitors: mosquitoes, spiders, baby cockroaches crawling in our beds, salamanders, lizards, beautiful butterflies... is like being in a concrete tent, completely exposed to nature and, this my friends, is part of the adventure. Believe me, is worth it and you won’t regret renting this house. You will take home beautiful and hilarious memories to share with your friends and families!

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing
This. Place. !!! From beginning to end our experience at Encantada was a dream. Yes, the pictures are stunning but they honestly cant begin to capture everything it really has to offer. The open air layout allowed for this stay to be unlike any other. Waking up, naturally, in the morning with a soft breeze and the sounds of the ocean followed by, coffee in bed watching horses gently run across the beach was a perfect start to every day in Vieques. Never having been to Vieques before we relied quite a bit on Tania and Daniel, to say that they were helpful on all fronts would be a huge under statement! They were more then willing to answer any and all questions, give wonderful recommendations and their welcoming, friendly attitude really helped to set the tone of our whole trip. The PDF they provided served as our guide for all things! Bars (Lazy Jack’s) Beaches (Playa La Chiva) Sailing Charters (Sun Bay Shuffle) just to name a few. I have to say one of my favorite activities was the sailing charter to Sun Bay. Captain McCoy (aka Matthew McConaughey’s island twin) and his first mate Pauly were AMAZING. Captain McCoys wife, Chrissy, was a joy to work with while booking this and prepared a phenomenal lunch for us while we were on board! The views while sailing and when anchored were magical, the rum punch was delicious, and of everything we did on Vieques this would be my #1 MUST DO. Back to the house! The kitchen and living room set ups were on point, perfectly conducive for any size party. We cooked breakfast at the house each morning while we listened to music (1 portable speaker provided) and had mimosas. We grilled in the evening and all ate around the beautiful, community style table. We could all be together and didn’t have to worry about large party dinner reservations, I think this was key! The couches were also clutch after a long day in the sun (and a long night at Lazy Jacks)! My favorite hangout in the house though was definitely the pool. I’m pretty sure we didn’t leave the infinity pool and lounge chairs for the entire first two days. Lastly, I cant talk about Encantada without mentioning the outdoor showers. They were exceptional. Encantada was magic. Vieques was a once in a lifetime vacation for a perfect mixture of relaxation and fun. I would recommend Encantada at the highest level!!!

The Perfect Viecation
To say this trip was worth it is the understatement of the year. I (easily) convinced a group of my girlfriends to go with me for a long weekend. The owners, Tania & Daniel, were SO helpful and responsive as we figured out logistics about where to reserve a rental car, how to get to the island (Plane > Ferry), and what to expect as far as grocery shopping. In fact, only hours after Tania told me she and Daniel had a local chef, Beverly Davenport, cater dinner for them consisting of paella & tropical fruit crumble (YUM), did I connect with Beverly myself to ask about her availability. Another decision I highly recommend, as Beverly was a dream and knew her way all around Encantada–making it a relaxing evening filled with fresh seafood and smiles at the big dining room table. Upon arriving on the island, Karen, the Property Manager, had a cab waiting for us. She met us at the house to answer any questions we had and make us feel right at home. She was the sweetest and answered my text inquiring about island yoga within seconds later that weekend. The pictures on this listing are obviously to die for, but let me tell you, the views are even better in person. We woke up each morning to the sunrise (you can pull down the blinds if you want but I recommend the warm island breeze), spent our days going from pool to ocean (again, the PDF provided was SO helpful here for figuring out which beaches to explore), and ended our nights cuddled up on the couches (with a bottle of wine) watching the sun set before heading up to bed. Concrete floors and walls made cleaning up a breeze. Fans were strategically placed in each room to keep the bugs away. And, the fridge is giant, meaning plenty of room for Medallas (a light local beer). When we wanted to go out for lunch or dinner we ended up referencing the Encantada instagram as it had pictures of food/drinks and helped us decide on where to go. I highly recommend Robin's for a $10, 32 oz. mojito and Tin Box for fresh sushi or BBQ (yes bbq AND sushi). Another thing we did from the PDF was the Bio Bay tour through Abe's. If you haven't seen this phenomenon, it is definitely worth it–although make sure you go during a new moon! I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Encantada (or Vieques)! Never have I ever felt at home so quickly. Counting down the days until we can go back...
