About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

On the beach, a private pool, a house all to yourself.

The rare thing about Barefoot Bungalow is the privacy. You don't share a pool or the deck. You have the house, pool, yard and deck completely to yourself. Our Bungalow is located on the tranquil island of Vieques. Our three bedroom, 2 bath home is tastefully furnished in a relaxed, comfortable bungalow style. The property offers an array of amenities, including a pool for your use only, a deck overlooking the ocean, BBQ, washer and dryer, hammock and, of course, the beautiful blue sea a few steps from your doorstep. You can hear the crashing waves from your bedroom and still be surrounded by the tranquility of your own yard. Wake up in the morning and sit outside on your private patio, looking out over the waves at the islands of Culebra, Puerto Rico and on a clear day, St. Thomas, while you sip your coffee. Listen to the sounds of the surf breaking in the evening as the sun sets while you stroll in the sand looking for shells and sea glass, or lie peacefully swinging in the hammock.

Lounge by Pool: What can be more luxurious and refreshing than a dip in your own pool after a long day at the beach? Not much. Lounge in the sun, enjoy the lush tropical foliage, and maybe read a good book. Sit under the fountain and let the water splash over you. Watch the sea gulls and pelicans fly overhead and spot the iguana family that comes to feed on the hibiscus and sun on the wall. Take a night time dip and float on your back and gaze up at the stars.

Easy Living: Two of the things that our guests comment on most frequently are the great night's sleep they experience in our comfortable beds, and the luxurious sheets and towels we provide in abundance. We strive hard to make your experience the vacation you want it to be with a fully equipped kitchen (to help you prepare your fresh-caught seafood), air conditioning in all the rooms, and an outside dining area to enjoy the breeze off the ocean.
Note: Although we suffered some damage from Hurricane Maria, many of the island's inhabitants suffered much more. Three of the cottages next to us were totally destroyed. They are slowly trying to rebuild, and we applaud their positive attitudes and "can do" spirit. On the Island of Vieques, almost all of the cottages on the water, are located on the northern side of the island. Here the coral reef comes right up to the shore. These beaches including our are great for snorkeling, walking, and shelling and sea glass collecting. These are not the swimming beaches that Vieques is famous for. Those beaches are on the southern part of the island and are in protected parks for all to use. There are no beach houses on those beaches. On our beach swimming is possible where there is a break in the reef, but we like to swim at our favorite beaches like Caracas and Chiva on the south side.

We were thrilled with our stay at this beautiful property! The house had everything we needed - comfortable beds, plenty of towels/linens, dishes/cooking utensils, stable Wi-Fi...I can't think of much that we needed that was not provided! The pool was clean, fun, and very well maintained. It was great having a washer and dryer on site. This is the best property we have stayed at. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this home—perfect in every way for a family vacation! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully planned. Nightlights in every room made it easy for the kids to navigate after dark, and the abundance of hooks for towels and swimsuits was such a helpful touch (especially with little ones running in and out of the pool!). Speaking of the pool—it was a huge hit! Crystal clear, the perfect temperature, and very well maintained. We spent hours swimming, relaxing, and making memories that our family will cherish for years to come.There were plenty of towels; bath towels and beach towels were provided. Even laundry detergent was provided for the washer, cause we all know laundry never ends…. Even on vacation!!! The beds were incredibly comfortable, with soft, supportive pillows that made it easy to fall asleep after fun-filled days. Everything was clean, cozy, and set up to make our stay comfortable and stress-free.We can't recommend this home highly enough. It's ideal for families and truly felt like a home away from home. We’re already talking about coming back next year!!!

Relax to the max

Absolutely loved the location! Beautiful beach out the front door, secluded swimming pool in the backyard, far enough from town to have some "quiet", but close enough to get everywhere easily. The house is well equipped with cooking supplies, games and books. The bed was comfortable. We would have been happy just hanging out at the bungalow for our entire stay!

Absolutely Perfect

We loved everything about our stay here. The hosts thought of everything, from the beach chairs and umbrella to the board games. Falling asleep to the ocean every night was wonderful. We made it a point to take a walk along the beach every morning and every morning since it was right there. The house was in a safe area so you felt secure being there.

Tropical Get-a-Way 2025

I would definitely come back to this location. The house is perfect! Just the right size for our party. Pool was nice and sheltered from the constant ocean breeze. Morning coffee or afternoon cocktail on the patio was a treat. Some day's the biggest question was "beach or pool". Great beachcombing on "our" beach if not truly suitable for swimming. The property manager was very friendly and helpful when we arrived. The welcome basket was a nice touch. Plan to return in 2027. Note: if you take the ferry, bring a sweater.

This is our second time renting from Michael and Gail. They are the most hospitable hosts we’ve ever had very responsive. Their house manager was great. The location is perfect.

Perfect location for relaxing and seeing Vieques

We were a party of 3 and the location and house was perfect for us but could accommodate more as well. You really cannot get a better location - you hear the beach at night and sitting on the patio overlooking the ocean was perfect. The house has all the amenities you need and the Wifi worked well for the most part (one day it was spotty but not a huge issue), as did the AC although you don't really need it as there is a breeze. The owners are extremely responsive and the house manager as well. Neighbor is friendly and we felt safe at all times. To be able to get up and walk on the beach cannot be overstated! We realized that we had stayed in this exact location 20 years ago under a different owner but I think this visit was the best yet! We love Vieques and will be back. Thank you!

A BAREFOOT BUNGALOW! Clean! Loved it!

VERY clean house, pristine private pool, well-appointed kitchen, PLENTY of towels and sheets, right on the beach, well-organized, hidden gem. WE WILL BE BACK! We woke each morning to the sound of WAVES and we would make breakfast and eat it outside watching the tide. We felt very secure with the coded fence and the friendly neighbors. We can not say enough for this perfectly groomed 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house. This is a short drive from the grocery store and shops. Perfect for us as we dont care for town-noise. Also! We were usually the ONLY people at the beach behind the house. We felt very priveledged to stay at this gorgeous home on Vieques!femce and the frieny

Beach front cabana needs updating

The beach front location is amazing. Walk right out front yard to a quiet beach, good for waking but a little rocky for swimming. Ocean waves lull you to sleep. But the house is dated and needs updating. The couches had broken springs, a couple window fixtures were broken, the kitchen has old appliances, the place needs TLC to live up to its potential.

Just as Advertised!

Five of us stayed at the house for a week. The house was clean and very comfortable! There is very easy access to the beach and a beautiful view from the patio in the yard. There are beach chairs and a cooler at the house as well as a bbq grill. There are lots of games and puzzles at the house if it rains while you’re there. The beach in front of the house is great for snorkeling, and if you go around the little point to the right, there’s a nice spot to gather sea glass. The hosts are the most responsive I have ever dealt with! They have a property manager if you need anything during your stay but if you need to reach the owners, they will get back to you pretty quickly!!!! We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay there again!

Family Vacation Getaway

The location is great, I really liked listening to the ocean waves it was so relaxing. The pool is nice and private. The living room and bedrooms were ok, the extra linens and towels were just thrown in a closet on top of some house hold supplies. The kitchen is in need of some organizing The pans, dishes and utensils were just kind of placed here and there. The convection oven made some loud nosies and the gas grill knobs were very difficult to turn when lighting and adjusting the flame. We still had a great vacation.
