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

In 2008, we came to Vieques, stayed across the street, and watched Los Arcos being built. We had a dream of staying at this beautiful place, and 16 years later our dream came true! We stayed here with 6 adults and 2 teens. From the moment we stepped foot on the property we were in awe. There were horses on the front lawn, beautiful flowers, and a breathtaking view. Colleen and Mark were there to greet us. Upon arrival, we had a walk-through with Colleen so we could understand the home's layout, which was incredibly helpful. During our stay, any inquiries we had were answered promptly by Colleen or Mark. The home was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for cooking and going to the beach and detailed instructions for the house were neatly kept in a binder along with details for navigating the island and its activities. Overall, this place was amazing and I would highly recommend it.
This was a great house for our group of 6, with 3 separate sleeping areas & a beautiful view.
The view is amazing and sitting by the pool every morning to soak in the sights was perfect. The house and property are very well maintained, and you can tell a lot of thought was put into the experience of the home - like smart controls for music throughout the house and outside, outdoor showers, and all the amenities you need to cook. We always felt safe (the property is gated) and the house manager gave a great welcome tour and was available if we asked a question. There are 3 separate sleeping areas each with AC, and the home is run on Solar which is great. The only complaint we had was the temperature of the pool. It’s supposed to be solar heated but was cold the entirety of our trip so we couldn’t use it like we would have liked. We would definitely recommend this place!

Paradise found
It is my second time returning to this villa and I couldn't be happier! It is everything you could want from a vacation home. The location is spectacular: on a hill overlooking the bay, across from a horseback riding ranch (super convenient), and right near the heart of Esperanza with all the fun bars and restaurants. As amazing as the view is, the fruit orchard in the back of the house is another easy favorite. You can find all sorts of fresh fruit (mangoes, papayas, bananas, star fruit, coconut, bread fruit, limes, avocados, etc. etc.) that you can pick directly from the trees--such a treat! It is absolute paradise. Inside, the house makes you feel like you have truly escaped to an exotic place. The decor is striking and luxurious throughout (don't miss the beautiful light fixtures in every room!). The owners have really thought of everything. My only words of advice are to not make too many plans as you will not want to leave the house, and there's really no reason to!

My favorite place on the planet
This is my third visit to Los Arcos and it did not disappoint! The house is an amazing place to relax in. It has to be the most spectacular property on the island. I love simply sitting by the pool and taking in the stunning views. It's also great for cooking (in the fabulous kitchen) if you decide to stay in for meals. The whole place is well designed. Every crevice and corner was thought through... and it shows. I can't wait to plan my next visit!!!
