GREAT EXPERIENCE
E. Oller
Beautiful Home!
I Stayed in the Seaside Villa in Vieques. The house itself is absolutely Beautiful and Diego from Bravos Boyz was great. When we arrived on the island he picked us up at the Ferry and took us to the grocery store to pick up supplies before taking us to the villa. The villa was lovely and the views breathtaking. We did have an issue with the air conditioning in the upstairs bedroom on the third day, which meant the power needed to be shut down in order to do repair. The Bravos Boyz did then treat us to lunch while repairs were being done and offered to move us to another property for the night to ensure we were comfortable. We did opt to stay in the seaside villa and just adjust the rooming situation. I did receive a call from Thom today who apologized for the inconvenience. Even with this A/c hick-up we had a wonderful time in Beautiful Vieques and made memories to last a lifetime. Highly recommend Bravos Boyz and the spectacular Seaside Villa.
Stay 8/2/19

Beautiful secluded beaches with free range horses. A very unique island experience!
Bravos Boyz were great to work with. Good communication and worked with us changing our dates after the hurricanes hit. So glad we did not cancel our reservation. We wanted to help support Vieques Island tourism. The house has a beautiful view of the water. The sunsets were amazing. We walked to town for meals as it was so close and convenient. The home was comfortable with nice Island decorating touches throughout. The washer and dryer were a big asset. Personally I enjoyed the cats. I already miss them ! The roosters....not so much. They wake you up quite early but that is part of the charm of the house and location. Just bring ear plugs and turn on your a/c in the bedrooms. You are very close to the ferry which is very convenient if you ferry in. We flew in but might consider the ferry on the next trip if we return. Bravos Boyz and all living on this little piece of paradise have worked so hard. What a comeback ! Go visit ! Beaches are beautiful and secluded. The free range horses on the island were amazing. And many great restaurants to choose from.

Great house and management
House was great and the managers were very responsive and proactive. Location by ferry is convenient but a bit noisy. View is gorgeous. Be prepared for the wandering island chickens that make a racket at all hours.

Fabulous !
The Villa sits right on the water and surrounded by a reef. Few doors down is the fresh seafood market where we bought live lobster. Also conveniently located is the ferry however we used an auto rental arranged by Diego our property manager. The staff was beyond accommodating as Thom met us at Cape Air and drove us to our villa. The following day our rental car was delivered to the villa. Our stay was 8 days and all week, Diego and Thom were so helpful as we had questions about local activities and locations. Must see : bio luminescent bay evening kayak excursion on a moonless night! Fantastic snorkeling all around although the area around the villa has strong currents, I recommend going further south . Vieques is charming and the locals are very friendly! Much more relaxing and serene vs the hustle and bustle of San Juan. I can’t say enough about Bravos Boyz and how much we loved the villa as well as the floor plan. We plan to book again! The house has been thoughtfully designed and great artistic features. Even the beds were cozy with premium linens! You won’t regret booking this jewel on a little hidden piece of paradise!

Excellent House & Service
We have stayed in Vieques about 10 times over the past 12 years or so but this was our first visit staying at Seaside. This trip had an initial delayed start due to a missed connection from San Juan to Vieques. I called Laura somewhat upset but she dealt with the news very professionally and set our mind at ease immediately. The delay turned out to be a good thing as we were able to spend an evening in Condado which we had not done in about 5 years. The next morning I called Laura as we were boarding the plane and she meet us at the airport to take us to our Island Car Rental. (When I initially made the reservation I had been told that even though our flight came in 5 minutes before they closed for the day that we would have to wait until the next morning to pick up our car - this had happened to us before with this company so I was prepared for such a response from them.) Even though we arrived just at the time we were told the car would be ready we were told it would take them an hour to clean our car even though there were two gentlemen just sitting at the desk not doing anything. When I returned to Laura's car and told her we would get a taxi and return in an hour to get the car she suggested that I go back in the office and tell them to bring the car to us as it was there fault our car was not ready. IT WORKED!!!! I would not use this company as they simply do not care about customer service at all - they have a really do not care attitude in general.
When we finally arrived at Seaside our relaxation began. Laura did a wonderful job of going over the house with us so that we would know all there was to know. Also, she provided us great tips of the Island (especially useful if you have not been there before). We have stayed at other vacations rental houses that were NOT managed by Bravos Boyz and they never have done such an excellent job of making us feel comfortable and welcome!!!!!!!! The house is an excellent location - easy to walk to town, right on the water with excellent views of sunset. The pool is great for a cool off and there are many spots to have a cocktail and enjoy the laid back island life!!!!!!!!! The kitchen is very well equipped and the house is extremely comfortable. It was just the two of us but the house will work very well with two couples as there is plenty of privacy since each bedroom is very separated from the other. On our day to checkout Laura arrived and again made the process easy and stress-free ----
I cannot say enough positive of the experience we had at this property and the excellent team at Bravos Boyz ---- you will not regret staying at this particular house or another property managed by this professional company!!!!!!!!!!
We are looking forward to our next visit to Vieques - and we definitely will be using Bravos Boyz to book our next trip!!!!!!!

Seaside was perfect for us; definitely coming back!
The house set-up was perfect for two couples, with both private and shared space. Loved the airiness of the house, and the gorgeous view of the water from the balcony and terrace. The compound felt like our own little world.....great to just lounge around.
Did a lot of our own cooking, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Having the fresh fish market so close by was really convenient, and the fish was yummy! Great to be so close to town as we walked everywhere. Be sure to sample the fabulous smoothies across from the ferry!
Enjoyed feeding the resident cats, the singing from the Pentacostal Church, and the view/sounds of the ferry.......felt like we were part of the local scene.

This house was perfect for us.
Location, location, location! Seaside was perfectly located for our vacation. We enjoyed walking into town for groceries and restaurants, fishing for tarpon right in our own backyard, and watching beautiful sunsets each evening. It was a short drive to Vieques' most beautiful beaches. The house has an unusual layout, with two bedrooms separated at either end of the living space and accessed from outdoors. This worked very well for our family of adults, but might be a concern if staying with children younger than teens. The furnishings were comfortable and attractive. The outdoor living spaces were a highlight - great view of the bay, large table, comfy lounge chairs, impressive grilling area, and warm, sparkling soaking pool. The barking neighborhood dogs were annoying at times (we came to enjoy the crowing roosters and climbing iguanas). Guests with cat allergies might have an issue with the resident cats, who sometimes sleep on the lounge chairs, but the cats were an enjoyable addition to us. We had great service from David, who met us at the airport late at night and even stopped in town so we could pick up groceries for the morning. He gave excellent recommendations about restaurants, beaches and getting around. We fell in love with relatively undeveloped Vieques and Seaside was a perfect place for enjoying the local flavor and beauty.

Awesome Place
This place is simply awesome. The house sits right on the water overlooking the harbor. The view is amazing at sunset! The patio and pool are great for relaxing and soaking up the beauty of the island. The house is really interesting and seems much bigger because of its open design.
My wife and I loved this place and the privacy that it provided. The small dipping pool was a huge plus! We loved having our own private pool, and the pool area is really set up perfectly for just hanging out and relaxing. Again the view is amazing!
A huge plus about this place is that it is so close to the local fish market. We bought fish and lobster while we were there, and were able to use the grill that was provided at the house. The grill area is really neat as well with outdoor furniture so you can hang out while grilling.
The kitchen and living room are beautiful, comfortable, and have glass doors that look out over the bay. This area quickly felt like home to us, and we enjoyed spending time in this part of the house. When we wanted to beat the heat we came to this area and closed the windows and turned on the AC. It worked great and cooled off quickly. The TV also worked great, and it was nice to watch a little football in the AC. The room is also great because you can open all the windows, and the fans really make it comfortable when it's not too hot outside.
Everything in the house was great. The house was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the sheets and towels were nice and clean. The house was very comfortable and very clean. The kitchen was well furnished with everything we needed for cooking dinner. Also there was a coffee maker, and the local coffee I bought was really great.
The house is in walking distance to restaurants and several convenient stores. We actually stayed during the slow season so there were several restaurants that were not open, but we never had trouble finding a place to eat.
We rented a Jeep for a few days to explore the island. Definitely do this if you can. There are so many awesome secluded beaches to check out! Also it is a short drive to Esperanza, which is a town on the other side of the island. There you will find more restaurants because it is the touristy part of the island. This island is very unique and very beautiful.
We recommend checking out Vieques and also staying at Seaside. It was an unforgettable and awesome experience.

Seaside in Vieques
We had a wonderful time in Vieques. The beaches were some of the nices in the world. The food was amazing! The locals were gracious. The Bravos Boys could not have been more accommodating. The house looks just like the pictures. It was beautiful. We loved walking right down into Isabell for some tacos, empanadas, fresh seafood and cocktails. I would recommend this to anyone. There was on the other hand a few quirks with staying so close to the ferry and visiting on Easter week. The ferry blows its horn at 6:30 and 7:30 every morning (kind of tough on vaction) and the house is located 2 doors away from a Pentecostal Church. They have permits to stay open until 2 am and they chant (actually scream) a few times during this week. Besides the noise factor I could not have asked for a better vacation. We will definately be back.

Loved Seaside!
Seaside is a great place to stay if you're looking for comfort and relaxation. The views are gorgeous and the house is nicely furnished. It is walking distance to restaurants, the grocery, and the ferry, all of which is very convenient.
Laura with Bravos Boyz was great and so helpful - she really went above and beyond during my stay.
I, personally, really enjoyed the resident cats. They were sweet as can be and I didn't have any problems with them begging or fighting. I think the free-roaming animals are part of the island's charm and the cats and iguanas that stopped by the house are part of it.
While the ferry and church were loud, closing the windows shut out all the noise if I didn't want to hear it. Just because I am on vacation doesn't mean that other people's lives need to stop - the ferry still needs to run and people still want to get their worship on. That's one of the things I liked best about this location - it makes you feel part of the community, not just like you're staying at a resort that could be anywhere.

Did not live up to expectations
Nice house, although strange layout. Not as nice as the pictures make it look online. Could have been cleaner, but beds and bedding were very comfortable. Kitchen was well-equipped. It was close to town, which was nice. On the down side, 3 stray cats that we were told 'lived there' but no food was left so they begged us at every meal and left cat hair on all of the furniture. Very close to ferry and fish mart so got woke up every morning and smelled bad sometimes. Church across the street sounded like they were staging a revolution. At least half of the nights they used a microphone to project their service, which included very bad singing and loud declarations in Spanish, along with moans from the audience. Very strange and extremely disruptive. Also kept us from being able to open the windows in the evening. They only left us one roll of toilet paper and paper towels and not enough garbage bags or dishwashing detergent for the week. When you are paying this much for a place, you expect at least 7 garbage bags and shouldn't have to go out to buy toilet paper. The woman from Bravo Boyz acted like she was doing us a favor by letting us stay there. The pool pump broke on our second day there, although she did send someone to fix it after the second call. Had a lovely vacation in spite of the negatives. Loved Vieques but would not stay here again. Just too many things and not worth the money paid.

A Candid Review...
House is nice. View is great. Right in town. If you are looking for quiet, peaceful and relaxing, this place is not for you. The house is in the residential area of the town Isabel Segunda, or Isabel II.
I reserved this house based on the previous reviews. Why no one gave a balanced review, I don't know. No one mentioned the Pentecostal church two doors down with the loud, annoying, nonstop preaching. Sunday morning I thought "oh this is nice, I'm in the "real" Puerto Rico." But, then it occurred every night of the week for 3 hours straight each time.
Then, there were the resident cats. Two cats that apparently have been encouraged to hang around by the owners and previous renters. The cats would dart in the doors anytime we opened them. They were a huge nuisance. One climbed on the front door screened trying to get in, damaging the screen. By the 5th day of the trip I just gave in and didn't try to chase the cat out of the house. He laid on the couch as if he was accustomed to it. I like cats. But, I have asthma. So, having the cat dander in the house kept my asthma flared the entire week. Oh, and let's not forget the cat fights outside the bedroom window every night in the middle of the night. The house is very close to the ferry and a fish market. So, starting at 6 am every morning the ferry horn would start blowing, every hour on the hour. The fisherman at the fish market talked so loudly at 5 and 6 am it woke me up every morning. The house's architecture is in the West Indies style. It is essentially a small compound with the living areas in divided sections. The main house (living room & kitchen) is on the ground level. You have to go outside and walk down a flight of concrete stairs to get to the master bedroom. Then another walk/stairs to the grill. The second bedroom/bathroom and laundry room are in another building about 15 feet from main house, along the street. Nice house. Great party house. Floor plan not comfortable.

Thank you for taking the time to review Seaside! We are glad you found the house to be nice and the View Great as well as a Great party house. We agree! Bravos Boyz Management and The Owners take your comments seriously and we are committed to making our guests stay a wonderful experience. We are very sorry the house did not live up to your expectations. The Pentecostal Church down the street has been a responsible part of our neighborhood and community for many years. However, we are currently working with local authorities to make sure that Puerto Rico's noise ordinances are observed, ensuring the peace and quiet desired by our guests and neighbors.
Like the rest of the island and one of the unique things about Vieques, Isabel II has roaming cats, dogs, roosters, horses and iguanas. While we care about the well-being of our island animals, we ask that our guests not feed them on the property. Bravos Boyz and the owners are committed to working with the Humane Society

Relaxation
We visited Vieques to attend a family wedding.We enjoyed our stay at Seaside and we were very pleased with our decision.This rental was within walking distance from food, bars, coffee,and the grocery store.We rented a jeep so to get us around the Island and get to view the entire island and its exceptional beaches. We rented Seaside with another couple and it still felt like it was our own. The neighborhood was friendly and kept to themselves. We felt safe during our stay at Seaside. Laura who picked us up from the airport with Bravo Boyz was very helpful and briefed us on the island on places to shy away from and better yet provided with us with a little tour of the island on our way to Seaside.She made herself available for any help needed during our stay. The rental was clean with modern furnishing.The a/C worked wonderful!Seaside has an amazing view of the sunset and sunrise so we highly recommend sticking around for these times to witness it!The dipping pool was great and we used daily after coming back from the beach and at night. Minor things to know is their are 4 wild cats on the property that we were encouraged to feed outside with the cat food that was left for us, and we did to keep them happy.If you are allergic to cats this may pose an issue but it didn't bother us and come to find out most of our family who had rentals had stray cats roaming around.If you do not wish to have them running in and out of the rental just keep an eye out for them when you are opening and closing your doors!For the most part, not an issue.We enjoyed our stay and hope to someday to return to Vieques and would like to try and stay in Esperanza.We definitely got a feel for the culture and Seaside is right in with the locals. If you are someone who loves to explore and get taste of the culture this is the place for you!Our best experience was the all-in-one Bio-Bay Tour through abes Snorkeling and Bio-Bay Tours.Wonderful guides which it an even more unforgettable experience.

Great Location and Excellent Service
Bravos Boyz were positively wonderful to work with- I would absolutely rent through them again. Their service was stellar, start to finish. This home is in a great location, right on the water with incredible sunset views. Although many folks recommended staying in Esperanza (and we subsequently stayed there as well), I actually preferred Isabel. There were comparatively more stores and restaurants nearby and it was less "touristy" than Esperanza, for a much more authentic experience. As others have noted, the house is constructed in an unusual manner, consisting of several different levels and living spaces,including 1 of the 2 bedrooms accessible via outside stairs. Each of these spaces has it's own personality and we actually enjoyed transitioning among them. It is a bit of a hassle to deal with securing the space when you come and go- closing all the louvered windows, locking the various rooms, setting the alarm- but that is minor downside in light of the how much fun it is to enjoy the many unique attributes of this house. The nearby church was not the disturbance to us that others have noted; while their projected sermons were loud, they were infrequent and closing the windows reduced the noise significantly. The beds were wonderful as were the linens and towels. Water temperature and pressure were great and having laundry facilities was a real convenience. The kitchen is very well equipped in terms of quality of cookware, etc. One minor exception was the corkscrew; the cheap waiter's knife was a frustration. We loved the plunge pool and sitting outside at the end of the day, enjoying a drink and the sunsets as well as the adjacent lighthouse. The house affords a lot of privacy although it is proximate to many conveniences and even the busy ferry dock. All in all, a fabulous venue supported by five star service from Bravos Boyz.

Awesome House with true Island Feel
Perfect Vacation Rental for 2 Couples as sleeping areas seperated. Beautiful furnishing and Decor. Parking was bit of a challenge on a narrow road and serious noise at time from the Church cross the street but only on random nights. Bring ear plugs and enjoy this house with amazing location to town and water views. Bravo Boys staff Laura and Theresa were very responsive and great to deal with!Will back for sure!

Awesome vacation rental for 2 couples
My boyfriend and I traveled with another couple to Vieques last month and stayed for 5 nights at the Seaside rental. It was a very nice place, tastefully done and with no problems. There was air conditioning in every room and worked like a champ (a little too well actually). The bed was super comfy and HUGE!
We made full use of the kitchen and gas grill - making breakfast and dinner almost every day. The house is located next to a fish market supposedly, but every time we went there it was locked up :-(
My only recommendation is that the house provide a beach umbrella (which everyone would appreciate. That Vieques sun is sizzling!) We made use of the cooler and beach chairs that were provided.
All in all, it was an awesome property and we would definitely stay there again.

One of the Best!!
This was one the best experience i've had in a vacation rental. Absolutely hassle free.. right next to the Ferry terminal and beautiful location and superb amenities.
Everything put together, it was just a treat to be staying here for our time in Vieques.

Seaside Paradise
Seaside looks exactly like the pictures in person! It's a very nice house. The little dipping pool is nice to cool off in. It's pretty deep, like 4.5' I'd guess, and about 4-6 adults could sit in it comfortably. The beach in front is beautiful, but not really a beach you would go to for a beach day. All of the islands great beaches are on the opposite side of the island from Seaside, but the island is tiny so it takes you 15-20 minutes to drive there. Most of the beaches are in the National Parks so you're not missing out on beachfront properties.
You can walk from the ferry to the house. It's only 2-3 blocks away from the ferry dock. This was nice when we had to get up really early for the ferry on the way home. The property mgmt team was really helpful and nice.
We stayed in august which is hurricane season and it rained a little bit each day then stopped. The rain didn't impede our outdoor activities or beach time, but the locals said it was unusual that it wasn't raining more.
The house has separate living spaces within one compound so it's ideal for two couples to share the house. I am not sure I'd feel comfortable having kids sleep in the separate bedroom because you have to lock yourself into your room at night. Also, there are some stairs down to the pool so if mobility is an issue keep that in mind.
Overall the house is well worth the money! If I come back I am staying here. I hope this helps!

perfect!
seaside was a lovely house. the view of the fishermen, the walk to town, the amazingly comfortable beds and linens...plus
the fact that we were in a real neighborhood...all added up to a perfect way to experience vieques. even the singing from the pentacostal church across the street, gave us the feeling that we were living in puerto rico. the bravo boyz were Very buttoned up and dealt with anything that came up immediately! we can't wait to go back.

How to make a week long vacation feel like a month.
I was very pleased with all aspects of this vacation. It was our second time in Vieques, but first time for our boys; ages 17 and 14. Laura met us at the airport and she was amazing, she transported our luggage to the home as it would not fit in our jeep rental. She was available throughout our stay, ready to provide suggestions and offer help as needed. The home was exactly what we anticipated and expect, clean, tasteful, well organized, and very well stocked. We took advantage of their recommendations for car rentals (Maritzas)and local taxi on the mainland (Julian) and I cannot stay enough good things about both. I loved the convenience of the location and felt comfortable sending my youngest to the grocery store for items. The fish market is a couple doors down, this allowed us to monitor when the boats came in so we took advantage of first pick. Excellent lobster, grouper, and snapper. We loved spending days at the beaches; swimming, snorkeling, walking. In the evenings we would cook a wonderful dinner and relax at the poolside. I fell instantly in love with the comfort of the bed. We very much enjoy hot weather, however, its not fun to sleep in. The bedrooms are very comfortable and feel like you are retreating to an ice cold hibernation cavern. The air conditioner worked great. The view in the morning waking from the master suite is unbeatable. Overall, the location, amenities available, support from Laura, and other services used worked so well that our week vacation at Seaside felt as if it lasted a month...and there is no topping that! Thank you.

Amazing view, private location yet close to a variety of activities! Loved it!
Beautiful location! Shopping at the local gourmet grocery and dinner on the patio while over looking the ocean sunset was awesome! We really enjoyed all the adventure, swimming, kayaking, biking and just relaxing at the beach!

5/2013 - Perfect Romantic Getaway
Saw a Travel Channel program on Vieques and decided we needed a romantic getaway and Vieques looked like the place. We have toured the main island and this turned into a great Idea! I did a lot of research thru Tripadvisor and HomeAway. This property is listed in both and we decided to splurge a little and the Seaside was perfect. Laura picked us up at the airport and walked us thru the home; she is great! The pictures don't really give it justice. I can't add much to what the other reviews say. We throughly enjoyed the dipping pool outside the master bedroom, and the gas grill. The grill area has its own seperate sitting area and sink, coupled with another excellent view of the harbor. The owner must be a foodie, as the cookware is AllClad (we have at home) which we have never seen in any other rental. However, as with all rentals the cutlery was badly in need of sharpening. Not a problem for us as we always bring our own. The constant breeze and ceiling fans were enough so that we did not use the AC. Misquitos and no-see-ums must be guarded against. The early morning ferry horns just tell you that you have two more hours to sleep. (:) There are quite a few stairs, so the physically challenged migh have trouble. The only negative: the Homeaway advertisement reflected two kayaks included in the package, however, they were locked up in the pool equipment house and not available for use. We ask Laura about this and she was not aware of the kayaks. I mention this as the kayaks were central to our decision to rent the Seaside. Not to worry, we took tours instead. We had a great time here. Do got to Al's, and buy your lobsters down the street. This property is great for a small family or two couples, but fantastic for a romantic twosome!

Fantastic rental!
This is a wonderful rental property. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. Having a full kitchen and gas grill were incredibly convenient. It's a very comfortable and private residence. I felt very safe in the house and couldn't have asked for better views. It was great to make coffee, bring it outside to enjoy and then steps away go for a morning swim.

Seaside Beach House - Beautiful home!
We were very pleased with Seaside and Bravos Boyz. We were met at the airport and Bette brought us to our car rental place then to Seaside where she showed us all around the house. It was perfect for us two couples! The house has a very unique layout. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our fresh lobster we bought from down the street and all the other meals we prepared. The pool was great, outdoor seating was abundant and the view was wonderful! I highly recommend staying at this beautiful home and would most certainly stay again if we go to Vieques again with another couple. House is in great location for walking to local bars and restaurants - Als Mar azul was one of our favorites.
We were back and forth from Isabel to Esperanza for beaches and entertainment - Navio and Blue Beach were my favorites!! Snorkeling was great! Horse back riding with Esperanza Riding Company, Abe's Bio Bay and fishing with amity Charters - Captain J Ferguson was excellent!
I did not want to leave and I can not wait until I get back there ;)

El servicio prestado por Bravos Boyz fue excelente en todo momento. Sabamos que Seaside era bonita por las fotos pero nuestro asombro fue an mayor al llegar y poder disfrutar de la casa, no le faltaba ningn tipo de detalle, hasta tal punto que no daban ganas de salir de ella. Buena situacin con unas vistas inmejorables, sobre todo los atardeceres acompaados de unos buenos mojitos " homemade". A 3 minutos del Ferry y a 8 a pie del centro de Isabel II. Lo nico a tener en cuenta es que a pesar de estar en primera lnea de mar y playa, no se puede disfrutar de ella pues es pequea y no muy atractiva. Pero no muy lejos hay algunas totalmente paradisiacas.

Vacation of a life time at Seaside House!
The house is perfect! It's a 2 minute walk from the Ferry and al's bar/restaurant. The setup is perfect for two couples. It is hard to grasp the setup of the house based on the pictures. Once you enter the front door you are not in the house but more like the entrance to 3 separate sections of the house. To your right you will find one of the bedrooms with its own bathroom and a separate laundry room. Straight ahead are the stairs leading to the second floor. This is the better of the 2 rooms and has its own bathroom, a small dipping pool, and more stairs leading to your beach! Across from the first bedroom is the common area with an amazing view from the balcony as well as living room and fully stocked modern kitchen. You have a small lawn area with a total separate spot that has a grill, sink, and seating area not connected to the rest of the house. In the morning the lawn is covered with iguanas! I would live there in a heartbeat! Just so you know (and this has been mentioned previously) The Ferry is close enough to hear its arrival horn and a church is nearby and they love to sing! Neither of these affected us but I knew about them ahead of time and enjoyed it as part of the island! I can't wait to come back! The Bravo Boyz are friendly and we worked mostly with Tom while there and he was as honest and friendly as they come! Enjoy your stay!!!

Amazing seaside location, great kitchen & fabulous views. An ideal place for couples.
We just returned from a week at Seaside Vieques. Wow, what a fantastic property. The views are incredible as it is located right on the water. You can watch the ferry and the fishermen come and go. The house is right up the hill from the local fish market where we bought fresh lobsters and cooked them in the large and well-equipped kitchen. If you like fresh seafood and cooking (with breathtaking views), this is an ideal property. In addition to the modern kitchen, there is an outdoor covered patio separate from the pool area that hosts a grill and a large sink that was perfect for cleaning and preparing the fresh seafood from the market.
The location is fantastic and just blocks away from a variety of delicious restaurants. While you are very close to town (about a 5 minute walk) the house is located on top of a small hill next to the light house, so although you are in walking distance to everything (including the grocery store, liquor store, pharmacy, surf shop, local & fine dining), it feels very private and removed.
We rented a jeep and spent many days exploring the amazing and remote beaches that Vieques offers. It was pretty hot and humid (August weather) so returning home for a dip in the pool as we watched the sunset over the water became our daily routine. The dipping pool and views were so great that we simply spent two days reading by the pool instead of venturing out. Very, very relaxing.
Air conditioning worked well and was a real bonus for hot August days; however, there was always the option to open up all of the double-doors and windows and let the sea breeze through. It's a bright and architecturally well-designed property that was mindfully designed to compliment the seaside location. It's perfect for two couples who want privacy; the two bedroom units are separated making it feel like two distinct units joined by a lovely common living room & kitchen area. There is a large kitchen table that can seat about 10.
We enjoyed many sunrise and sunset kayaking trips from the beach below. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the large king size bed was super comfortable. The large rain shower-head was great! Falling asleep to the sounds of the sea was very relaxing.
The property has wireless internet that works well and it was easy to connect all of our devices. There were beach chairs and coolers provided, which were a total bonus. The property also has brand new washer and dryers, which we used to wash our beach ware.
Overall, we can't wait to go back again next year. Definitely a true gem if you are looking for luxury and relaxation in a killer location.

Beautiful spot on the water
One of our most relaxing vacations ever. The comfortable outdoor seating areas were great for lounging and watching the water. Amazing sunsets! We appreciated being able to walk into town for drinks and dinner but really did feel away from it all when we were inside the property.Comfortable bed, great kitchen, fun dipping pool. Already booked reservation for next year!

Cool Layout, Has Some Challenges
The house layout is unique. All areas are separate from each other so to get from one room to the next, you have to go outside through the courtyard or downstairs. Once you walk in from the street, you enter into a courtyard that gives you access to the laundry, kitchen, & extra bedroom as well as a corridor to the lower level. Taking the corridor brings you to the dipping pool as well as the entrance to the master bed room.
The windows are also covered with security blinds on the outside. There is actually no glass in any of the windows & doors except the upstairs balcony doors. This is cool but it can get exceptionally loud on the weekends from Isabel & some nights, the wildlife can get very loud if you are a light sleeper.
Upon arrival, our escort warned about crime. He may have overdone it though as I felt like we needed to use the Bedroom as a safe room. It kept us on pins & needles until I talked to a few locals. They said there is a lot of theft but if you kept the house locked while you were away (including walks on the beach), there would not be a problem.
My biggest complaint is it can be louder than I expected. Parking can also pose a challenge as there is a church 50 feet up the road & they seem to congregate every other day. On Sunday, you will feel like you are in the service if you try to sleep in. We were also told where we could & could not park due to the garbage truck needing to make a turn from a perpendicular street. This turned out to be inaccurate. You need to park past the house in front the empty lot to the right.
All in all, the house is nice, offers a lot of features especially if you like to cook. At the end of the day, you will feel like you live on the island due to the location. I rated this place 4 stars, but others could possibly give it a 1 if they want seclusion & a Ritz Carlton experience.
Bravos Boy's would get a 5 star rating as they are accommodating, quick to resolve any issues & a great organization.

A Lovely Vieques Retreat
The villa was lovely, extremely well-appointed, tasteful and very private. The beds, in particular, were so comfy! The view from the villa is phenomenal and the location was highly convenient. The Bravos Boyz team were terrific and gave us a spot-on review of the beaches and restaurants we should visit. We'll be back.

Wonderful property managed by the Bravos Boyz - perfect in every way. Well equipped, clean, great location near town of Isabella. On street parking, but once inside the gate of the villa you enter another world. Lovely overlook onto fishing cove and views of main island of Puerto Rico. We loved our week there!

Seaside was perfect for us; definitely coming back!
The house set-up was perfect for two couples, with both private and shared space. Loved the airiness of the house, and the gorgeous view of the water from the balcony and terrace. The compound felt like our own little world.....great to just lounge around.
Did a lot of our own cooking, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Having the fresh fish market so close by was really convenient, and the fish was yummy! Great to be so close to town as we walked everywhere. Be sure to sample the fabulous smoothies across from the ferry!
Enjoyed feeding the resident cats, the singing from the Pentacostal Church, and the view/sounds of the ferry.......felt like we were part of the local scene.

This house was perfect for us.
Location, location, location! Seaside was perfectly located for our vacation. We enjoyed walking into town for groceries and restaurants, fishing for tarpon right in our own backyard, and watching beautiful sunsets each evening. It was a short drive to Vieques' most beautiful beaches. The house has an unusual layout, with two bedrooms separated at either end of the living space and accessed from outdoors. This worked very well for our family of adults, but might be a concern if staying with children younger than teens. The furnishings were comfortable and attractive. The outdoor living spaces were a highlight - great view of the bay, large table, comfy lounge chairs, impressive grilling area, and warm, sparkling soaking pool. The barking neighborhood dogs were annoying at times (we came to enjoy the crowing roosters and climbing iguanas). Guests with cat allergies might have an issue with the resident cats, who sometimes sleep on the lounge chairs, but the cats were an enjoyable addition to us. We had great service from David, who met us at the airport late at night and even stopped in town so we could pick up groceries for the morning. He gave excellent recommendations about restaurants, beaches and getting around. We fell in love with relatively undeveloped Vieques and Seaside was a perfect place for enjoying the local flavor and beauty.

Loved Seaside!
Seaside is a great place to stay if you're looking for comfort and relaxation. The views are gorgeous and the house is nicely furnished. It is walking distance to restaurants, the grocery, and the ferry, all of which is very convenient.
Laura with Bravos Boyz was great and so helpful - she really went above and beyond during my stay.
I, personally, really enjoyed the resident cats. They were sweet as can be and I didn't have any problems with them begging or fighting. I think the free-roaming animals are part of the island's charm and the cats and iguanas that stopped by the house are part of it.
While the ferry and church were loud, closing the windows shut out all the noise if I didn't want to hear it. Just because I am on vacation doesn't mean that other people's lives need to stop - the ferry still needs to run and people still want to get their worship on. That's one of the things I liked best about this location - it makes you feel part of the community, not just like you're staying at a resort that could be anywhere.

A Candid Review...
House is nice. View is great. Right in town. If you are looking for quiet, peaceful and relaxing, this place is not for you. The house is in the residential area of the town Isabel Segunda, or Isabel II.
I reserved this house based on the previous reviews. Why no one gave a balanced review, I don't know. No one mentioned the Pentecostal church two doors down with the loud, annoying, nonstop preaching. Sunday morning I thought "oh this is nice, I'm in the "real" Puerto Rico." But, then it occurred every night of the week for 3 hours straight each time.
Then, there were the resident cats. Two cats that apparently have been encouraged to hang around by the owners and previous renters. The cats would dart in the doors anytime we opened them. They were a huge nuisance. One climbed on the front door screened trying to get in, damaging the screen. By the 5th day of the trip I just gave in and didn't try to chase the cat out of the house. He laid on the couch as if he was accustomed to it. I like cats. But, I have asthma. So, having the cat dander in the house kept my asthma flared the entire week. Oh, and let's not forget the cat fights outside the bedroom window every night in the middle of the night. The house is very close to the ferry and a fish market. So, starting at 6 am every morning the ferry horn would start blowing, every hour on the hour. The fisherman at the fish market talked so loudly at 5 and 6 am it woke me up every morning. The house's architecture is in the West Indies style. It is essentially a small compound with the living areas in divided sections. The main house (living room & kitchen) is on the ground level. You have to go outside and walk down a flight of concrete stairs to get to the master bedroom. Then another walk/stairs to the grill. The second bedroom/bathroom and laundry room are in another building about 15 feet from main house, along the street. Nice house. Great party house. Floor plan not comfortable.

Thank you for taking the time to review Seaside! We are glad you found the house to be nice and the View Great as well as a Great party house. We agree! Bravos Boyz Management and The Owners take your comments seriously and we are committed to making our guests stay a wonderful experience. We are very sorry the house did not live up to your expectations. The Pentecostal Church down the street has been a responsible part of our neighborhood and community for many years. However, we are currently working with local authorities to make sure that Puerto Rico's noise ordinances are observed, ensuring the peace and quiet desired by our guests and neighbors.
Like the rest of the island and one of the unique things about Vieques, Isabel II has roaming cats, dogs, roosters, horses and iguanas. While we care about the well-being of our island animals, we ask that our guests not feed them on the property. Bravos Boyz and the owners are committed to working with the Humane Society

Awesome vacation rental for 2 couples
My boyfriend and I traveled with another couple to Vieques last month and stayed for 5 nights at the Seaside rental. It was a very nice place, tastefully done and with no problems. There was air conditioning in every room and worked like a champ (a little too well actually). The bed was super comfy and HUGE!
We made full use of the kitchen and gas grill - making breakfast and dinner almost every day. The house is located next to a fish market supposedly, but every time we went there it was locked up :-(
My only recommendation is that the house provide a beach umbrella (which everyone would appreciate. That Vieques sun is sizzling!) We made use of the cooler and beach chairs that were provided.
All in all, it was an awesome property and we would definitely stay there again.

One of our most relaxing vacations ever. The comfortable outdoor seating areas were great for lounging and watching the water. Amazing sunsets! We appreciated being able to walk into town for drinks and dinner but really did feel away from it all when we were inside the property.Comfortable bed, great kitchen, fun dipping pool.

We had a wonderful time in Vieques. The beaches were some of the nices in the world. The food was amazing! The locals were gracious. The Bravos Boys could not have been more accommodating. The house looks just like the pictures. It was beautiful. We loved walking right down into Isabell for some tacos, empanadas, fresh seafood and cocktails. I would recommend this to anyone. There was on the other hand a few quirks with staying so close to the ferry and visiting on Easter week. The ferry blows its horn at 6:30 and 7:30 every morning (kind of tough on vaction) and the house is located 2 doors away from a Pentecostal Church. They have permits to stay open until 2 am and they chant (actually scream) a few times during this week. Besides the noise factor I could not have asked for a better vacation. We will definately be back.

Did not live up to expectations
Nice house, although strange layout. Not as nice as the pictures make it look online. Could have been cleaner, but beds and bedding were very comfortable. Kitchen was well-equipped. It was close to town, which was nice. On the down side, 3 stray cats that we were told 'lived there' but no food was left so they begged us at every meal and left cat hair on all of the furniture. Very close to ferry and fish mart so got woke up every morning and smelled bad sometimes. Church across the street sounded like they were staging a revolution. At least half of the nights they used a microphone to project their service, which included very bad singing and loud declarations in Spanish, along with moans from the audience. Very strange and extremely disruptive. Also kept us from being able to open the windows in the evening. They only left us one roll of toilet paper and paper towels and not enough garbage bags or dishwashing detergent for the week. When you are paying this much for a place, you expect at least 7 garbage bags and shouldn't have to go out to buy toilet paper. The woman from Bravo Boyz acted like she was doing us a favor by letting us stay there. The pool pump broke on our second day there, although she did send someone to fix it after the second call. Had a lovely vacation in spite of the negatives. Loved Vieques but would not stay here again. Just too many things and not worth the money paid.

Seaside Paradise
Seaside looks exactly like the pictures in person! It's a very nice house. The little dipping pool is nice to cool off in. It's pretty deep, like 4.5' I'd guess, and about 4-6 adults could sit in it comfortably. The beach in front is beautiful, but not really a beach you would go to for a beach day. All of the islands great beaches are on the opposite side of the island from Seaside, but the island is tiny so it takes you 15-20 minutes to drive there. Most of the beaches are in the National Parks so you're not missing out on beachfront properties.
You can walk from the ferry to the house. It's only 2-3 blocks away from the ferry dock. This was nice when we had to get up really early for the ferry on the way home. The property mgmt team was really helpful and nice.
We stayed in august which is hurricane season and it rained a little bit each day then stopped. The rain didn't impede our outdoor activities or beach time, but the locals said it was unusual that it wasn't raining more.
The house has separate living spaces within one compound so it's ideal for two couples to share the house. I am not sure I'd feel comfortable having kids sleep in the separate bedroom because you have to lock yourself into your room at night. Also, there are some stairs down to the pool so if mobility is an issue keep that in mind.
Overall the house is well worth the money! If I come back I am staying here. I hope this helps!

Awesome House with true Island Feel
Perfect Vacation Rental for 2 Couples as sleeping areas seperated. Beautiful furnishing and Decor. Parking was bit of a challenge on a narrow road and serious noise at time from the Church cross the street but only on random nights. Bring ear plugs and enjoy this house with amazing location to town and water views. Bravo Boys staff Laura and Theresa were very responsive and great to deal with!Will back for sure!

How to make a week long vacation feel like a month.
I was very pleased with all aspects of this vacation. It was our second time in Vieques, but first time for our boys; ages 17 and 14. Laura met us at the airport and she was amazing, she transported our luggage to the home as it would not fit in our jeep rental. She was available throughout our stay, ready to provide suggestions and offer help as needed. The home was exactly what we anticipated and expect, clean, tasteful, well organized, and very well stocked. We took advantage of their recommendations for car rentals (Maritzas)and local taxi on the mainland (Julian) and I cannot stay enough good things about both. I loved the convenience of the location and felt comfortable sending my youngest to the grocery store for items. The fish market is a couple doors down, this allowed us to monitor when the boats came in so we took advantage of first pick. Excellent lobster, grouper, and snapper. We loved spending days at the beaches; swimming, snorkeling, walking. In the evenings we would cook a wonderful dinner and relax at the poolside. I fell instantly in love with the comfort of the bed. We very much enjoy hot weather, however, its not fun to sleep in. The bedrooms are very comfortable and feel like you are retreating to an ice cold hibernation cavern. The air conditioner worked great. The view in the morning waking from the master suite is unbeatable. Overall, the location, amenities available, support from Laura, and other services used worked so well that our week vacation at Seaside felt as if it lasted a month...and there is no topping that! Thank you.

We visited Vieques to attend a family wedding.We enjoyed our stay at Seaside and we were very pleased with our decision.This rental was within walking distance from food, bars, coffee,and the grocery store.We rented a jeep so to get us around the Island and get to view the entire island and its exceptional beaches. We rented Seaside with another couple and it still felt like it was our own. The neighborhood was friendly and kept to themselves. We felt safe during our stay at Seaside. Laura who picked us up from the airport with Bravo Boyz was very helpful and briefed us on the island on places to shy away from and better yet provided with us with a little tour of the island on our way to Seaside.She made herself available for any help needed during our stay. The rental was clean with modern furnishing.The a/C worked wonderful!Seaside has an amazing view of the sunset and sunrise so we highly recommend sticking around for these times to witness it!The dipping pool was great and we used daily after coming back from the beach and at night. Minor things to know is their are 4 wild cats on the property that we were encouraged to feed outside with the cat food that was left for us, and we did to keep them happy.If you are allergic to cats this may pose an issue but it didn't bother us and come to find out most of our family who had rentals had stray cats roaming around.If you do not wish to have them running in and out of the rental just keep an eye out for them when you are opening and closing your doors!For the most part, not an issue.We enjoyed our stay and hope to someday to return to Vieques and would like to try and stay in Esperanza.We definitely got a feel for the culture and Seaside is right in with the locals. If you are someone who loves to explore and get taste of the culture this is the place for you!Our best experience was the all-in-one Bio-Bay Tour through abes Snorkeling and Bio-Bay Tours.Wonderful guides which it an even more unforgettable experience.

Fantastic rental!
This is a wonderful rental property. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. Having a full kitchen and gas grill were incredibly convenient. It's a very comfortable and private residence. I felt very safe in the house and couldn't have asked for better views. It was great to make coffee, bring it outside to enjoy and then steps away go for a morning swim.

Great Location and Excellent Service
Bravos Boyz were positively wonderful to work with- I would absolutely rent through them again. Their service was stellar, start to finish. This home is in a great location, right on the water with incredible sunset views. Although many folks recommended staying in Esperanza (and we subsequently stayed there as well), I actually preferred Isabel. There were comparatively more stores and restaurants nearby and it was less "touristy" than Esperanza, for a much more authentic experience. As others have noted, the house is constructed in an unusual manner, consisting of several different levels and living spaces,including 1 of the 2 bedrooms accessible via outside stairs. Each of these spaces has it's own personality and we actually enjoyed transitioning among them. It is a bit of a hassle to deal with securing the space when you come and go- closing all the louvered windows, locking the various rooms, setting the alarm- but that is minor downside in light of the how much fun it is to enjoy the many unique attributes of this house. The nearby church was not the disturbance to us that others have noted; while their projected sermons were loud, they were infrequent and closing the windows reduced the noise significantly. The beds were wonderful as were the linens and towels. Water temperature and pressure were great and having laundry facilities was a real convenience. The kitchen is very well equipped in terms of quality of cookware, etc. One minor exception was the corkscrew; the cheap waiter's knife was a frustration. We loved the plunge pool and sitting outside at the end of the day, enjoying a drink and the sunsets as well as the adjacent lighthouse. The house affords a lot of privacy although it is proximate to many conveniences and even the busy ferry dock. All in all, a fabulous venue supported by five star service from Bravos Boyz.

Cool Layout, Has Some Challenges
The house layout is unique. All areas are separate from each other so to get from one room to the next, you have to go outside through the courtyard or downstairs. Once you walk in from the street, you enter into a courtyard that gives you access to the laundry, kitchen, & extra bedroom as well as a corridor to the lower level. Taking the corridor brings you to the dipping pool as well as the entrance to the master bed room.
The windows are also covered with security blinds on the outside. There is actually no glass in any of the windows & doors except the upstairs balcony doors. This is cool but it can get exceptionally loud on the weekends from Isabel & some nights, the wildlife can get very loud if you are a light sleeper.
Upon arrival, our escort warned about crime. He may have overdone it though as I felt like we needed to use the Bedroom as a safe room. It kept us on pins & needles until I talked to a few locals. They said there is a lot of theft but if you kept the house locked while you were away (including walks on the beach), there would not be a problem.
My biggest complaint is it can be louder than I expected. Parking can also pose a challenge as there is a church 50 feet up the road & they seem to congregate every other day. On Sunday, you will feel like you are in the service if you try to sleep in. We were also told where we could & could not park due to the garbage truck needing to make a turn from a perpendicular street. This turned out to be inaccurate. You need to park past the house in front the empty lot to the right.
All in all, the house is nice, offers a lot of features especially if you like to cook. At the end of the day, you will feel like you live on the island due to the location. I rated this place 4 stars, but others could possibly give it a 1 if they want seclusion & a Ritz Carlton experience.
Bravos Boy's would get a 5 star rating as they are accommodating, quick to resolve any issues & a great organization.

Awesome Place
This place is simply awesome. The house sits right on the water overlooking the harbor. The view is amazing at sunset! The patio and pool are great for relaxing and soaking up the beauty of the island. The house is really interesting and seems much bigger because of its open design.
My wife and I loved this place and the privacy that it provided. The small dipping pool was a huge plus! We loved having our own private pool, and the pool area is really set up perfectly for just hanging out and relaxing. Again the view is amazing!
A huge plus about this place is that it is so close to the local fish market. We bought fish and lobster while we were there, and were able to use the grill that was provided at the house. The grill area is really neat as well with outdoor furniture so you can hang out while grilling.
The kitchen and living room are beautiful, comfortable, and have glass doors that look out over the bay. This area quickly felt like home to us, and we enjoyed spending time in this part of the house. When we wanted to beat the heat we came to this area and closed the windows and turned on the AC. It worked great and cooled off quickly. The TV also worked great, and it was nice to watch a little football in the AC. The room is also great because you can open all the windows, and the fans really make it comfortable when it's not too hot outside.
Everything in the house was great. The house was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the sheets and towels were nice and clean. The house was very comfortable and very clean. The kitchen was well furnished with everything we needed for cooking dinner. Also there was a coffee maker, and the local coffee I bought was really great.
The house is in walking distance to restaurants and several convenient stores. We actually stayed during the slow season so there were several restaurants that were not open, but we never had trouble finding a place to eat.
We rented a Jeep for a few days to explore the island. Definitely do this if you can. There are so many awesome secluded beaches to check out! Also it is a short drive to Esperanza, which is a town on the other side of the island. There you will find more restaurants because it is the touristy part of the island. This island is very unique and very beautiful.
We recommend checking out Vieques and also staying at Seaside. It was an unforgettable and awesome experience.

We enjoyed the experience and space! Perfect for couples and possibly with families with older kids. Diego picked us up at the airport and gave us a tour of the home to acclimate us. Throughout our trip, we appreciated Diego’s timeliness and willing to help us. We rented a vehicle through them and it was great! The vehicle got us to some tucked away beaches that we enjoyed and we explored the island. Thanks again for letting us stay!”
