We first came here back in 2010 and we have returned many times, most recently in December of 2018. The amazing thing is that Vieques hasn't changed much since we first came. If anything, we love coming here even more now, post-hurricanes. The island has rebounded well, Los Arcos is even better appointed (solar panels and other energy saving features are new!), the people on Vieques are warm and welcoming to tourists, and it's a paradise. Vieques is a special place. The beaches are protected, so they can't get overdeveloped. You have space to chill, nothing feels overcrowded here. This home has everything and more. The location, first of all, is perfect. Set up high, there are views of sky and sea, and you feel breezes all day and night. It is hard to leave the house, for this reason. We spend a lot of time reading by the pool. My son loved swimming and playing in the large yard out front and in the back, which even has fruit trees. We cook meals in the open kitchen, eat at outside by the pool on the deck or in the large open main room which has a big circular dining table, great lighting and a sound system. If you like watching TV and movies while you're on vacation you can do that here too. We prefer to sit outside and watch the sea and sky, or get in the rental car and go to Esperanza (which is walking distance from the house, actually) for really great food and drink al fresco, or drive to Isabella which has some great bars, restaurants and shops. There are so many beautiful beaches to visit, all a short drive away. A fave is Black Beach, which is near the house. The Bio Bay is a must-see. My son loved that so much. There is even more Bioluminescence now than there was Pre-Hurricanes, they say. And I could see it. It was magical. Also, the owners of Los Arcos are wonderful folks, and the property feels safe. It's very relaxing, staying here, and beautiful. And I feel great giving my money to the people of Vieques, who have been through a lot of disasters and are good people.

Los Arcos, completed in 2008, overlooks the Caribbean Sea and Esperanza Bay from one of the most beautiful Vieques vacation rental estates.
The design was inspired by the great castles of Spain, with 18-inch thick concrete walls and huge, thick archways that separate the open-plan interior spaces. Los Arcos is a new home but looks like it could have been sitting on this hill for centuries.
Amenities include perhaps the nicest view on the island of Vieques and one of the best in the Caribbean, complete with the outdoor living spaces. Deep, wide, shaded, travertine-tiled balconies face the ocean with comfortable furniture and natural seating areas exposing views through arched openings and receiving constant breezes from the trade winds.
Step off the balcony from the main house or the guest villa and step right into the solar heated pool, with a bench and tables built in, also facing the views. Cushioned lounge chairs dot the balcony offering comfort and serenity to enjoy the vistas.
Throughout the house the walls facing the ocean have folding glass doors that open to bring the outside in. Although the furniture is high-end, it is not fussy or delicate or uninviting. The owners brought in pieces from India, Morocco, China and Mexico to fill the house with color and texture reflecting their interest in world craftwork and a comfortable, casual island lifestyle.
To the old they added the new with every possible convenience and comfort. There's a huge, fully outfitted "cook's kitchen", a large-screen plasma TV with NETFLIX and other television program options and a Blue Ray DVD player, air conditioned bedrooms, wireless Internet, and a whole-house audio system that lets guests select their own music and volume from the digital house library, and hear it in any, or every room at the same time.
This Vieques Island rental house has three "master/guest suites", each with a king bed, private bath, indoor and outdoor shower, and folding glass doors that open to the ocean views. Two of the suites are in the separate Guest Wing and the third is within the Main House and all are of a similar quality with similar amenities. There are also wooden hangers for your clothing in all of the closets, and in-room safes for any valuables you wish to store. Other spaces include the living room, media room, office, dramatic center-domed-cathedral-ceiling dining room, and pool bar.
The grounds are magnificent with many varieties of palm trees and colorful, tropical flowers galore. There is an orchard at the rear of the property where you are invited to pick fresh bananas, mangoes, star fruit, limones, and anything that might be in season during your visit.
Beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and thermoses are provided if you do decide to leave your private paradise to visit one of the many nearby sandy Vieques beaches. Los Arcos is a house that our guests return to year after year because of the magical design and location. There are many havens within the estate where views of the Caribbean are perfect, the breeze is sublime, and you feel lucky just to be here.
So not only will your vacation include the best house, views, and breezes in the Caribbean, but you’ll be running off of the sun and doing your part for the environment.
This elegant Caribbean Estate on six acres overlooking the southern Caribbean coast is the perfect place to relax with friends and families creating lifelong dreams...

WE LOVE THIS PLACE
OrangeFoxEventing
No need to look for anywhere else to stay, this is THE place to go.
What a beautiful place to stay.
The villa is located near the town of Esperanza on a 6 acre plot with fruit trees in the back orchard, an infinity pool to cool off or chill in the sun with a drink on the seat and tables in the water where you look across at the fabulous views.
There is a veranda where you can sit in the shade or sun depending on your preference on very comfortable seating and just marvel at the beautiful view.
The beds are very comfortable, I normally find my back to be bad when I stay away but not here, huge comfortable beds and each room looks out over the view of the sea so you can open the doors and lie in bed looking at the view!
There is an indoor and outdoor shower for each room, I loved the outdoor shower!
You may have guessed from my review that I loved the view! It is spectacular looking out at the Caribbean sea, with the small island of Caya Real and Caya de Tierra in view. Across to the left you can see right over to Sun Bay, and the blue seas stretch out in front of you forever. Have a look up and you may also see some beautiful Red Tailed hawks enjoying the warm air.
Eating locally is so easy with several places to go in Esperanza - El Bloc was my favourite - although the villa has a fabulous kitchen so its just as lovely to sit in and eat a home cooked meal.
The Bio bay tour and riding with the Esperanza riding centre across from the villa are worth doing too!
Magical, Highly recommend.
