The Palm Cottage at the Palm Cottages, on the North Shore of Vieques Island in the beach side neighborhood of Bravos de Boston, is one of the Vieques vacation rental cottages at the residential compound that was formerly a church, its rectory, and several small out buildings. The property has been completely renovated and all new as of Summer 2019.
Located in the heart of the lovely Vieques Garden District, the cottages are surrounded by exceptional tropical gardens designed and maintained by the well-known Bravos Boyz whose offices are also located in the old church building. Ever popular La Chata Beach is a one minute stroll down the road and is a Bravos Boyz favorite for a morning swim, beach combing for sea glass or watching the surfers catch that perfect wave.
The Palm Cottage was the former pastor's house and has been beautifully restored and updated. This rental house offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms making it ideal for two couples or a family. Both have queen-sized beds with quality linens, air conditioning if desired and tropical garden views. The Palm Cottage lives open and airy with vaulted ceilings and ceiling fans with almost constant Trade Winds and the sound of surf crashing.
The cottages share a beautifully landscaped, private pool with an artful fountain. There is also a private screened outdoor living room called the folly which is a great place to lay and read or play cards and enjoy the beautiful garden setting. The Folly is designated only for the use of Palm Cottage. The tropical oasis and landscaped grounds create your own private sanctuary.
Both cottages offer high quality thread count bed linens as well as fresh white towels and bright colorful beach towels. The upholstered furniture is very comfortable as well as offering full package cable because watching a movie is sometimes what you want on vacation, high speed wireless internet no further explanation needed and land line phones with free long distance to the United States just because!
Additionally, we offer you washer and dryer as well as beach chairs and coolers so that you can stay in a Bravos Boyz house and only need to bring flip flops, a sarong and a bathing suit.
One of the delights our customers regularly comment on are the many tropical plantings the first of which are 30 foot Puerto Rican Royal Palms that Thom planted from seed around 2003. Additionally, there are Areca palms, Mac Arthur palms, Adorneidia palms, Figi Fan palms, Travelers palms, Coconut palms, philodendrums, orchids, scented Ylang Ylang and spider lilies, hibiscus, blooming bromeliads, bananas, pink, white, and red ginger, heliconias, colorful crotons, various ferns, herbs and many other surprises including, night sounds and visiting Iguanas.

Simply a great place on a magical island
This was our fourth visit to Vieques over a period of several years. We love this island - its pristine and varied beaches, quirky communities and restaurants, lack of true tourist amenities, and raw and authentic island characteristics (from wild horses, to wild dogs, to endlessly crowing roosters). It's not perfect, it's real, with the exception of its beaches, which are perfectly unreal.
This was our first stay at a Bravos Boyz owned property and it was outstanding. Palm Cottage has the feeling of a space to was designed and lived in by creative people who loved the space. It is full of personality and feels intimate, which is not typical of rental units in our experience. It is on the pricier side of things, and those on a budget may be just as happy elsewhere on the island because virtually everything is close to a great beach, but this is about as good as you could ask for.
I can't imagine anyone would be disappointed with this property or its companion unit, which benefits from a nice outdoor dining space, but doesn't have the outdoor lounging and sleeping area (the folly). Perhaps the only downside for some people would be that AC is limited to the bedrooms only, but it was great in those rooms and the house is equipped with many ceiling fans. Oh - and you will hear dogs and roosters. It's not overbearing as it is in many other places, but that is part of living on this island.

Heaven!!
I could not have asked for a more perfect home away from home for our recent trip to Vieques. My husband and two 20 something daughters loved this beautiful, functional, funky cottage. Everything was perfect! The breezes that come through the wonderful windows afforded no need for aC, the incredibly comfortable beds and pillows made for a great nights sleep,the beautiful pool was wonderful for a quick dip here and there in the little time that we were not at the gorgeous beaches. Hearing the roosters crowing made us feel right at home,having Oscar the dog and Callie the cat around made us miss our pets less, and our younger daughter loved sleeping in The Folly, feeling like she was out in nature. Traveling was made easy with all the helpful suggestions from the Bravo Boyz..from car rental, to airport pick up, to helpful hints about restaurants. I would recommend this place in a heart beat...and hope to some day have the good fortune to return to the Palm Cottage!

Decadent, yet comfortable
Staying at a property managed by The Bravos Boyz guarantees your comfort & happiness with your digs.
We arrived at The Pool Cottage a little late, but the approach up the walk was amazing. The patio lights & pool fountain were on, Puerto Rican salsa music playing, fresh tropical flowers & clippings throughout the home. I was so happy, I actually cried. The cottage itself is tastefully furnished, including cookware, pots/pans, plates, flatware, etc to make meals at home. Honestly, the pool, the relaxed atmosphere make for a tough time leaving to explore. The beds are super comfortable; the outdoor shower is one of my favorite amenities. Charcoal grill, filtered ice & water, beautiful pool with lots of lounge chairs; outdoor dining area made for the best setting for many, many hilarious new memories. I always refer to The Bravos Boyz for the perfect accommodations when visiting the island. We always know it will be our own private slice of the Paradise called Vieques. On a scale of 1-10, I give The Pool Cottage a 37.

Indescribable!
The Palm Cottages were exactly the type of place we wanted, and exceeded our expectations. The grounds are absolutely stunning with tropical trees, flowers, plants, and Coquis! The cottage was clean and welcoming with plenty of cookware, pots, pans, etc, to make meals at home if desired. The open ceilings and breezes that push their way through screened windows is delightful, especially at night after a rainfall and the Coquis chirps sing you to sleep. The screened in porch is a lovely and relaxing getaway to curl up with a book in the morning or to watch the sunrise. One of my favorite aspects of the Palm Cottages were the outdoor showers. It was so cool to wash my hair while watching the meteor shower happening above me. There is even a washer and dryer on premise! The Bravos Boyz have done an amazing job with this place and their hospitality is above and beyond. Betty picked us up from the ferry, took us to The Palm Cottage, dropped our luggage off and took us to pick up our rental. These guys run a tight ship and they and their staff are on hand to make sure you have a the best time possible in comfort, relaxation and class. Thank you guys so much for recommending this beautiful treasure. We can't wait to come back!

We stayed for a week at Palm Cottage and loved it! It had everything we wanted: a full kitchen, laundry, fans (no AC, we like that, but some don't), outdoor shower, pool, TV, internet and tasteful decor. Vieques is a lovely island , but I found it hard to find accommodations that I found visually appealing. The Palm Cottage was exactly what I was looking for. The grounds are beautiful and the vibe reminded me of Bali.
Can't wait to go back!

Our stay at Palm Cootage was fantastic!
Our trip to Vieques was made so simple by dealing with the Bravos Boyz. The cottage was clean and comfortable and exactly what we were looking for - a not so pricey, out of the way place we could call "home" for a week. If you like to travel the "non-resorty" way we like to, this is the way to go. We had everything we wanted, a pool, an outdoor shower and a private cabana for relaxing and having cocktails after the beach without the crowds of people. The guys were great, picked us up at the airport and drove us to the market before we picked up our car the next day. A wonderful experience! Bravo Bravos Boyz!

Absolutely perfect...clean, relaxing, quiet, and private!
Selecting a vacation rental can be a nerve-racking experience. This property is exactly as advertised including the pictures! A dip in the pool each morning was a pure delight after suffering through a cold winter in Maine. No surprises here...a perfect rental.

We as a group haves rented homes all over the Caribbean, this one is special. From the moment we arrived at the property we fell in love with it. The cottages decor is beautiful, artsy and homey. It took us back in time. There was nothing we needed or wanted that was not there. The outside where we spent most of our time was a gorgeous oasis of palms and flowers and a fabulous pool and outdoor livingroom. A great screened house if you want to escape for a nap. The pictures don't do it justice. The Bravos Boyz staff were friendly and helped us with everything we needed. Tom's tips on where to eat and go were spot on. Best beaches and a fun island to just roam around. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We will be back.

The Palm Cottage and Bravoz Boyz is fantastic
The Palm Cottage exceeded our expectations. From the time Thom met us at the airport until we departed, we found the entire stay delightful. The Palm Cottage is bright and clean and nicely decorated. The Folly is a great place for early morning coffee and late night relaxation. The Pool with the fountain is great, even if you spend most of your time visiting the beautiful beaches of Vieques. If you are thinking of staying here, don't hesitate. Book it. If it is not avialable, the Pool Cottage is equally charming!

The Palm Cottage is Heaven and the Bravos Boyz are Awesome!
We stayed at the Palm Cottage from February 13th to 20th. The Cottage is perfectly decorated and the pool is fantastic. The grounds are lush and luxurious and it is located in the garden district of Bravos de Boston.....this is the best area in Vieques. From the time Thom picked us up at the airport until we sadly locked up and departed, the palm cottage truly felt like home. We had a tour of the pool cottage and were equally impressed. By booking either separately, or together as the entire compound you CANNOT go wrong. We cannot wait to go back. This place and the property managers are truly special!!
We have travelled extensively and this place place rates top marks.

Bravos Boyzs compound is a perfect place to relax
The Palm cottage was amazing, the details, the pool, the boys themselves were helpful and friendly. We came here to relax and be left alone and that was exactly what we did. The quiet mornings and peaceful evenings were absolutely wonderful.
Highly recommended.

a wonderful retreat
Palm Cottage was a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay on the island. The accommodations include everything you need and are very beautifully furnished. I loved the outdoor shower, the screened windows and doors, and the big dining table, as well as having a pool. I was lucky that at the time no one else was renting (there is another rental across the pool) so it felt very private, but still with people around during the day since the Bravo Boyz' office is around the front. Best to have a car (though I managed more or less without) to get around more easily. Would love to go back!

My husband, Dick and I were pleased from the "get-go" when Alberto picked us up at the airport and pointed out "targets of opportunity" like the Tuesday morning Farmers Market on 201. We found Palm cottage very clean, the kitchen well equiped and the surroundings filled with lovely plants and flowers. The Bravo Boyz were friendly, informative and helpful. I'd recommend Palm Cottage to any age couple looking for a charming retreat on the island! Joan Fleming

Understated elegance
This is a very cool place, great pool, lovely setting, very tastefully furnished
and well appointed.
Its the perfect decor and construction to take advantage of the climate with
open (screened) windows and beautiful polished concrete floors to keep you
cool and ceiling fans to move the air gently around you.
The Boyz are terrific, from being picked up at the airport to vacating nothing
was too much trouble. You're welcomed, shown where everything is and left
alone - perfect.
The best thing is the sense of calm and slow pace, the worst thing was only
having a week in this tropical paradise.

wonderful vacation home for those who like to relax
We rented both houses for our family and had a fabulous vacation. The kitchen in the Palm Cottage was great for us as we like to cook gourmet meals each night. The pool was luxurious, great to dip into after a day at the beach. Be sure to bring your own books and games, since nothing can be bought on island. There was great yoga, biking and surfing to be found. If I was renting just one house, I'd absolutely choose the Palm Cottage - it sits up high to catch the breezes, has a really nice dining area and kitchen and has a screened outdoor sleeping area where two of our kids camped all week. We would go back to this house every year for a sunny, relaxing stay.
