The Palm Cottages, a Vieques vacation rental on the North Shore of Vieques Island, comprises a 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 in the Bravos de Boston neighborhood, the cottages are surrounded by exceptional and mature tropical gardens designed and maintained by the well-known Bravos Boyz, whose offices are also located in the former sanctuary at the street entry of the property.
This Vieques vacation rental compound includes two cottages, the Palm Cottage and the Pool Cottage, which share a beautifully landscaped, private pool with a dramatic fountain. The Palm Cottages Entire Compound is one of our favorite rentals and is very popular for larger groups needing Five bedrooms with Four bathrooms. The tropical oasis and grounds provide your own private sanctuary, and the locally known La Chata beach is just steps down the North Shore Road where Bravos Boyz love to take a morning swim, comb for beach glass or watch the surfers catch a wave.
The Palm Cottage was originally the rectory and having been completely renovated is a chic beach hideaway. The Bravos Boyz used their signature polished concrete counters with concrete sinks fully integrated in both the kitchen and the bathroom. The Palm Cottage has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms within the cottage and another bedroom in a separate garden structure just steps away making this an ideal place for six people to call home. The Palm cottage has a private outdoor shower with your own blooming orchids and surrounding tropical jungle.
The Palm Cottage bedrooms are air conditioned if you require it but it sits high to take advantage of the constant breezes and the sound of the nearby surf will lull you to sleep. There is a living room and dining room all looking out to the tropical pool and fountains.
The Pool Cottage sits directly across the pool from the Palm Cottage and was carved out of the stage of the sanctuary as well as church offices and bathrooms. The Pool Cottage is offered fully air conditioned and with two bedrooms with two bathrooms en suite. The signature polished concrete counters and sinks are again seen here stylishly simple yet elegant.
Both cottages, pool decks, and walkways offer granite tiled floors and our guests love the seamless indoor outdoor flow. The Pool Cottage has an inside living room as well as an outside living room and outside pool side dining on our signature polished concrete table for six to eight. One of the two bathrooms offers an outside shower.
Both cottages offer high quality thread count bed linens as well as white fluffy towels and bright colorful beach towels. The upholstered furniture is very comfortable as well as offering full Dish Satellite TV and high speed wireless internet. Additionally, we offer you a washer and dryer and beach chairs and coolers so that you can reasonably stay in a Bravos Boyz house only needing to bring flip flops, a sarong and a bathing suit.
One of the delights of the cottages 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, gardenias, bright crotons, various types of ferns, a water garden with blooming lotus flowers, herbs and many other surprises including night sounds and visiting Iguanas.
At the Palm Cottages the Boyz have thought of everything to make this a vacation of a lifetime for you and if they forgot something they are always there to help. Our goal has been to create a brand with you in mind and to maintain that brand year after year.
These rental cottages are well appointed, well maintained, and come fully equipped for your island vacation. Contact Bravos Boyz Real Estate and Property Management today and book Palm Cottages for your dream vacation.

Amazing!
Thank you Thom and Bravos Boyz! Once again you've exceeded our expectations and provided my family and I with more vacation memories for us to look back on. Yes we were the first guests at Palm Cottages since hurricane Maria and the entire compound was in excellent shape. Bravos Boyz did a great job restoring and upgrading the cottages. We were a party of 11 and everyone was perfectly comfortable. The pool bringing both cottages together is great and couldn't get enough of the pool especially after the trips to the beaches or our walks to Isabela II. All the best in the upcoming season and you have my BIG Thumbs up for a great job bringing the cottages back even better than before.

A Beautiful Oasis
Our family of six adults and a two year old rented the entire compound and were very satisfied with our accomodations! From the start, the staff at BB helped me select a property that would meet the needs of our group and be child friendly. Their service the entire time was excellent! Pick up at the airport, assistance with car rental, making sure I knew where I could get a car seat, restaurant recommendations, etc. They were very attentive.
Both cottages are extremely well equipped, better than any rental I've every experienced. Beds were very comfy (all queen size) and bedrooms all had individual AC units. In the pool cottage, it was small enough that if you kept everything closed up, the AC in the bedrooms kept the kitchen and the living room cool. In the Palm Cottage, the AC only cools the bedrooms. However, it sits higher on the hill, and the living area enjoys a really nice breeze so it really didn't need AC. I loved the selection of books in the bedrooms!
My husband, child, and I stayed in the Pool Cottage. The first bedroom is the largest of the compound and the only one with en suite. The kitchen was the smaller of the two and there was a small living room with couch and loveseat. The second bedroom had a large closet and the bathroom was right next door with an outdoor shower. Again, no complaints. The pool cottage has the large outdoor living area which we really enjoyed - had several dinners there and grilled. This location was safer for the two year old as the property sits on a hill and the pool was up hill from the cottage, creating about a 2' wall that he couldn't scale.
Up the hill is the Palm cottage where the two couples in our group stayed. It has a larger indoor living space with a dining area and a larger kitchen. The two bedrooms are side by side and smaller than the Pool Cottage bedrooms, but comfortable. The two couples stayed in these rooms. One bathroom is right next to the bedrooms and has an outdoor shower. The other bathroom is across the living space. Both of these bathrooms were large with good natural light.
The folly is a detached structure next to the Palm Cottage and has two super comfy twin beds. We enjoyed hanging out there.
The gardens are beautiful and the property is incredibly well maintained. We loved the pool and it was beautiful at night when we ate dinner on the porch.
The location was wonderful. On previous visits, we've stayed in or near Esperanza. We the cottages to be a fantastic location - we had some great dinners in Isabel and it was nice to be close to the grocery, pharmacy, etc. The neighborhood was very nice and we felt very safe there. I will definitely rent from Bravos Boyz in the future!

This was our 2nd stay with the Bravos Boyz and it won't be our last. This year, we rented the entire Palm/Pool cottages compound and traveled with our adult children. This oasis is just what we all needed after a brutally cold winter and hectic jobs. The cottages are clean, refreshing, comfortable and wanting in nothing. The pool is perfect. The furniture comfortable, especially the beds, and beach chairs, umbrella and grill there for our use. Theresa, always helpful and Thom, Kevin and Alberto (the Bravos Boyz) the perfect hosts. Don, who picked us up at the airport and brought us to the car rental was not only full of dinner suggestions but updated us on happenings sine our last visit. We will be back!

First, the people who run this are terrific. Nice and helpful.
The place is very well kept - we had no issues at all. Clean. Well decorate - a few nice touches. Perfect for a large family - everyone gets their space.

Ideal rental for a big family
this was my third trip to vieques but my first with my kids and their friends (6 kids ages 15-23). the compound was ideal! the older kids were in the palm cottage and the younger kids and myself and my husband in the pool cottage. the place is totally hip, totally equipped and an absolute pleasure to stay in. the location is ideal as its behind the bravos boyz office so we had direct access to their staff whenever we needed it - which wasn't much. would definitely rent it again and look forward to coming back again soon.

Tropical Oasis and Relaxing Paradise!
What a special place. Eight of us rented the entire compound to celebrate my birthday, which consists of the 2 cottages, a screened room with a lounging beds and fans, porches and the pool. Each morning started with coffee on the Pool Cottage porch and breakfast at the large outdoor table. The outdoor showers where a hit for all who took advantage. The staff was amazing, they provided recommendations on everything, and let me just say that we eat at some of the best restaurants I've ever encountered on a Caribbean island. I was a wonderful vacation and birthday!

Paradise!!!
We had an absolutely amazing time on the Island of Vieques while staying at the Palm and Pool Cottages!!! We were so very impressed by the stunning accommodations and greatly appreciate the personal assistance and recommendations the Bravos Boys staff kindly provided us. We just got home and are already looking forward to our return visit to this property. Thanks so much for helping make this a memorable and pleasurable trip for our friends and family!!! P.S. The pictures do not do the property justice...please go visit and experience the magic for yourself!!!

a bit of Paradise
A beautiful space and so much for everyone from 3 years old to 73! The pool was the highlight, surrounded by lush greenery, what a treat to wake up to. The two units were very nicely equipped...all the latest in machines, utensils,plates,glasses,etc.And comfy beds. Everything was perfect...great dcor and a favorite - the screened cottage was the best. Laura and her husband were right there at the ferry to pick us up and give us a ride to the car rental..giving us hints as to where everything was and from then on it was the best vacation ever. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful spot!

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!
The "Cottages" were perfect for our family vacation . The two cottages were separated by a lovely pool which complemented the Vieques beaches so well.
I'm told that the "Cottages" were appointed in typical Bravos Boyz manner. Comfy, stylish and well stocked for those who choose to cook for themselves .
We enjoyed the local restaurants but equally enjoyed the farmer's market, local groceries and home cooking. I highly recommend this or any of the Bravos Boyz properties. And for yoga enthusiasts, ask for Laura !
Rental tip 1: Rent a car. Bravos Boyz might be able to help with this.
Rental tip 2: if you don't rent both cottages, you may be sharing the space with another family/group. We were so happy to have this special place all to ourselves !

Paradise, great place, great people, great service. Bravos Boyz
The rental was beautiful and well maintained. The Bravos Boyz are friendly, responsive and really make you feel at home. The others on the island are equally friendly and responsive. Can't wait to return.

Rolando you said it best and we appreciate all of your kudos. We love living in Paradise and we never stop striving to bring great service to you. We cannot wait to see you again in a Bravos Boyz Managed Property! Ciao.

Great cottages and pool. All expectations were met.
The property and cottages were fantastic. Everything about the property met our expectations. The two cottages and pool were the perfect setting for a family of seven to be together for 10 days. Location of the property made it easy to get to the beach and everywhere else on the island. Our stay was great. No complaints. Bravos Boys staff was always helpful. Would come again to this property if in Vieques again.
Response
We always love hearing from you and of course we are thrilled that we met your expectations and that you found the property to be Fantastic. We will also pass on to our staff that you found them to be helpful! That always makes them smile! We look forward to seeing you on Vieques again one day and it was our pleasure to ensure that your vacation was everything you wanted it to be.

Your own Private Oasis
From the time that alberto met us at the airport until our departure 6 days later we were all completely relaxed and felt very well taken care of. Myself, husband, two teenage daughters and my Mother rented the entire compound and it was just perfect. The cottages are a private oasis in a colorful little neighborhood up the hill from Isabella 11.
The Bravos staff are outstanding, and Tom makes you feel like an old friend. We had a small issue with our rental car when we first arrived and Theresa went out of her way to help us solve it.
The cottages are impeccably decorated, an authentic feeling of old school Caribbean, yet completely modern at the same time.
This was our Third visit to Vieques, and our second time renting with the Bravos Boyz. Their service is 5 star, properties are clean, modern and chic. No reason to rent with anybody else!!
We will be back and I look forward to exploring one of their other properties or going back to our little Oasis.

Awesome place
We rented the Palm Cottages, entire compound, for our family Christmas holiday. We were 8 adults and 2 toddlers. The place is beautiful, clean, and the service outstanding. We had a great time and the place is awesome. We really enjoyed the pool, the bbq, and all the facilities. Loved the outdoor showers! December has a lovely weather, and there are good supermarkets in the area (although you need a car). The cottage has washing machine and dryer, and both houses are well-equipped. It is ideal if you rent the entire compound.
We only rate it as 4 stars because the location is not excellent, although good enough. While there is a beach at walking distance, the beach is not child-friendly - has big waves and currents, and is rocky. Might be good if you are looking for surfing of body boarding. Vieques has beautiful beaches on the other side of the island, at about 15-20 minutes drive.
Overall, we loved the place and the service is excellent. The people were very nice and friendly. We would definitely recommend the place, and hopefully come back in the future.

Enchanting Oasis at Pool and Palm Cottages
Our family of three has just returned from an eight day stay at the Bravos Boyz lovely Palm Cottage (two days) and the Pool Cottage. I can honestly say I do not have a favorite as they were both charming and comfortable. The Palm Cottage has a larger kitchen and interior space while the Pool Cottage has wonderful exterior space and two bathrooms (great when you have a teenage girl)! Both cottages have an outdoor shower and the one at the Palm Cottage is huge (including orchids). The "folly" at the Palm Cottage was beyond charming and a great place to read and nap. The cottages are very comfortable and well decorated. The linens and towels were lovely and there were lots of books in both cottages. The kitchens have everything you could need or want with modern appliances and both have outdoor grills. The cottages each have their own washers and dryers so pack light. Beach chairs, coolers and boogie boards are all there. The Bravos Boyz have thought of everything. We have rented a lot of houses and this was at the top. The beautiful landscaping and stunning pool created a wonderful oasis and it was hard to pull my husband and daughter away for the trips to the beach. There is a nice, small beach a short walk away and I swam there a couple of times. We had some wonderful moonlight swims in the pool. Great restaurants which Olivia in the front office recommended. I felt very safe and secure there with the office in front and everyone was so friendly and helpful. I would recommend this property or any property the bravos Boyz manage. They are a first rate operation!

The Caribbean blue was our perfect color!
Four women, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two kitchens, plenty of relaxing space and a pool. What more could you ask for? Well, whatever we did ask for, we got! The onsite management was happy to help in any way - and did!
We were blessed with great weather and great accommodations.
The Caribbean blue was our perfect color!

This was a perfect getaway!
To describe the Palm Cottages as perfect sounds trite, but our experience there lacked absolutely nothing!! We were three middle-aged adults, who inhabited the Pool Cottage, and two young adults, who inhabited the Palm Cottage. This place is Paradise. No kidding. The Boyz created a luxurious Caribbean retreat within walkable distance (by anyone's measure) of Chata Beach. It is also convenient to town and all Isabel II has to offer.
Our experience on Vieques was fabulous and memorable -- beautiful beach after beautiful beach -- but just lounging at the Palm Cottages was a favorite activity. The compound is in a lush tropical garden that is peaceful and private, and the pool is gorgeous. The cottages are tastefully appointed and decorated in soothing colors with crisp white linens, creating a classic yet also contemporary Caribbean theme. The folly is a perfect place to nap or read. And we thoroughly enjoyed entertaining Oscar the dog and Cali the cat in the comfortable outdoor living areas.
The Boyz do extremely well with the details - from the personal greeting at the airport, the tropical floral arrangements everywhere, the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in the fridge, and the most luxurious bath and beach towels I have ever seen in a vacation rental. In fact, we were complimented more than once a on our beach towels! No skimping.
As fairly competent cooks, we had many enjoyable meals at the compound, and the kitchens were fully and thoughtfully equipped. We did have to pick up a muddler to make mojitos, though, and that made a dandy souvenir.
Will we be back? We sure hope so!

The Palm Cottages - Entire Compound Is A TROPICAL PARADISE
We have stayed at both the Palm Cottage as well as the Pool Cottage. Which one is better you might ask? My answer is both and if you are a larger group rent the entire compound. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained and the pool is just perfect. The units are very well equipped and very comfortable. You couldn't ask for a better location than the Garden District of Bravos de Boston just a minutes walk to La Chata beach at the end of the road. The folly is such a great place to relax reading a book and listening to the coqui frogs in the evening.
The units are close to town, which is convenient for groceries and restaurants and the phenomenal beaches (our favorites are Blue Beach and Navio) are no more than 15 or 20 minutes away.
The Bravos Boyz team is top notch and was friendly and professional from the time they picked us up at the airport until we regrettably had to leave. The Palm Cottages are great value and exceeded our expectations in every way.
Martin Edel
we had a great time once we got to Vieques
We would definitely stay at Palm Cottages again. The place was great, well located and had the Bravosboyz office at the front. That was a great convenience since we had access to Christina, who was great, and Tom and alberto. The rooms were spacious and clean.
The negatives were slight and easily remedied (except one). There should have been mosquito netting in the main house as the mosquitos were fierce. We had our share of strays (cats, dogs) but my wife loved all of them. We arrived in time for New Years and one neighbor had a party that lasted until 3 am with a sound system -- that was the negative that was difficult to remedy.

I felt very safe and secure there with the office in front and everyone was so friendly and helpful. I would recommend this property or any property the bravos Boyz manage. They are a first rate operation!

Awesome place
We rented the Palm Cottages, entire compound, for our family Christmas holiday. We were 8 adults and 2 toddlers. The place is beautiful, clean, and the service outstanding. We had a great time and the place is awesome. We really enjoyed the pool, the bbq, and all the facilities. Loved the outdoor showers! December has a lovely weather, and there are good supermarkets in the area (although you need a car). The cottage has washing machine and dryer, and both houses are well-equipped. It is ideal if you rent the entire compound.
We only rate it as 4 stars because the location is not excellent, although good enough. While there is a beach at walking distance, the beach is not child-friendly - has big waves and currents, and is rocky. Might be good if you are looking for surfing of body boarding. Vieques has beautiful beaches on the other side of the island, at about 15-20 minutes drive.
Overall, we loved the place and the service is excellent. The people were very nice and friendly. We would definitely recommend the place, and hopefully come back in the future.

The Caribbean blue was our perfect color!
Four women, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two kitchens, plenty of relaxing space and a pool. What more could you ask for? Well, whatever we did ask for, we got! The onsite management was happy to help in any way - and did!
We were blessed with great weather and great accommodations.
The Caribbean blue was our perfect color!

Paradise, great place, great people, great service. Bravos Boyz
The rental was beautiful and well maintained. The Bravos Boyz are friendly, responsive and really make you feel at home. The others on the island are equally friendly and responsive. Can't wait to return.

The Palm Cottages - Entire Compound Is a tropical paradise
We have stayed at both the Palm Cottage as well as the Pool Cottage. Which one is better you might ask? My answer is both and if you are a larger group rent the entire compound. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained and the pool is just perfect. The units are very well equipped and very comfortable. You couldn't ask for a better location than the Garden District of Bravos de Boston just a minutes walk to La Chata beach at the end of the road. The folly is such a great place to relax reading a book and listening to the coqui frogs in the evening.
The units are close to town, which is convenient for groceries and restaurants and the phenomenal beaches (our favorites are Blue Beach and Navio) are no more than 15 or 20 minutes away.
The Bravos Boyz team is top notch and was friendly and professional from the time they picked us up at the airport until we regrettably had to leave. The Palm Cottages are great value and exceeded our expectations in every way.

a bit of Paradise
A beautiful space and so much for everyone from 3 years old to 73! The pool was the highlight, surrounded by lush greenery, what a treat to wake up to. The two units were very nicely equipped...all the latest in machines, utensils,plates,glasses,etc.And comfy beds. Everything was perfect...great dcor and a favorite - the screened cottage was the best. Laura and her husband were right there at the ferry to pick us up and give us a ride to the car rental..giving us hints as to where everything was and from then on it was the best vacation ever. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful spot!

we had a great time once we got to Vieques
We would definitely stay at Palm Cottages again. The place was great, well located and had the Bravosboyz office at the front. That was a great convenience since we had access to Christina, who was great, and Tom and alberto. The rooms were spacious and clean.
The negatives were slight and easily remedied (except one). There should have been mosquito netting in the main house as the mosquitos were fierce. We had our share of strays (cats, dogs) but my wife loved all of them. We arrived in time for New Years and one neighbor had a party that lasted until 3 am with a sound system -- that was the negative that was difficult to remedy.

This was a perfect getaway!
To describe the Palm Cottages as perfect sounds trite, but our experience there lacked absolutely nothing!! We were three middle-aged adults, who inhabited the Pool Cottage, and two young adults, who inhabited the Palm Cottage. This place is Paradise. No kidding. The Boyz created a luxurious Caribbean retreat within walkable distance (by anyone's measure) of Chata Beach. It is also convenient to town and all Isabel II has to offer.
Our experience on Vieques was fabulous and memorable -- beautiful beach after beautiful beach -- but just lounging at the Palm Cottages was a favorite activity. The compound is in a lush tropical garden that is peaceful and private, and the pool is gorgeous. The cottages are tastefully appointed and decorated in soothing colors with crisp white linens, creating a classic yet also contemporary Caribbean theme. The folly is a perfect place to nap or read. And we thoroughly enjoyed entertaining Oscar the dog and Cali the cat in the comfortable outdoor living areas.
The Boyz do extremely well with the details - from the personal greeting at the airport, the tropical floral arrangements everywhere, the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in the fridge, and the most luxurious bath and beach towels I have ever seen in a vacation rental. In fact, we were complimented more than once a on our beach towels! No skimping.
As fairly competent cooks, we had many enjoyable meals at the compound, and the kitchens were fully and thoughtfully equipped. We did have to pick up a muddler to make mojitos, though, and that made a dandy souvenir.
Will we be back? We sure hope so!

Tropical Oasis and Relaxing Paradise!
What a special place. Eight of us rented the entire compound to celebrate my birthday, which consists of the 2 cottages, a screened room with a lounging beds and fans, porches and the pool. Each morning started with coffee on the Pool Cottage porch and breakfast at the large outdoor table. The outdoor showers where a hit for all who took advantage. The staff was amazing, they provided recommendations on everything, and let me just say that we eat at some of the best restaurants I've ever encountered on a Caribbean island. I was a wonderful vacation and birthday!

Paradise!!!
We had an absolutely amazing time on the Island of Vieques while staying at the Palm and Pool Cottages!!! We were so very impressed by the stunning accommodations and greatly appreciate the personal assistance and recommendations the Bravos Boys staff kindly provided us. We just got home and are already looking forward to our return visit to this property. Thanks so much for helping make this a memorable and pleasurable trip for our friends and family!!! P.S. The pictures do not do the property justice...please go visit and experience the magic for yourself!!!
This property is great! We booked the entire compound and had an amazing time celebrating New Year’s. The property was in a great location, it was clean, beautiful, and had everything you’d need. The communication with the host was great since the beginning when we booked our stay and then the house manager, Iris was super accessible and quick to resolve any issue that came up. We will definitely come back!
