We were in Vieques for a 9 day stay and wanted to find a place that was affordable and had a pool. Coconut Cay was the PERFECT place. The hosts were super helpful with all of my questions and the house did not disappoint!
Not to mention it had the most gorgeous view from the pool on the patio. We could not have chosen a better home. And, we will be back.
Million dollar views, for a two thousand dollar budget
We stayed here for 6 days at the end of April 2024.
And this property is the definition of balling on a budget.
The pool was great!
The views were great!
The house was good…
It was basic, with ac in the bedrooms, basic kitchen,
Basic living room, basic bathrooms.
With all the beach items you could need included!
Hope this helps.
We had an amazing time using Coconut Cay as our base of operations in Vieques. Beautiful location, great pool to cool down after a long day at the beach. Give yourself a break and stay here. Great host, great place. Great vibe.
When we weren't out somewhere in our the Jeep, we loved watching the ceaseless ocean waves from the back patio and hearing them all night. And when the quarantine kept us from leaving the property, the pool was fantastic. This house has everything you need and is a great value.
A peace of heaven, a trip of a lifetime!! Coconut Cay is a beautiful property and Lucy , Nikki and the crew were fantastic!! It’s all we expected and much more!!! Cannot say enough good about Coconut Cay and Vieques Island!!! We shall return!!!
Our stay at Coconut Cay was beyond amazing! The house was clean and spacious, the bedrooms were comfortable, and the kitchen is huge --- just perfect for entertaining a group of friends. The listing was accurate --- although, I have to say, the pictures don't do it justice, the views from the property are astonishing! Communication was great at all times, and Lucy, the house manager, was very helpful and attentive. We are looking forward to another stay at Coconut Cay!
Loved the pool and outdoor areas right on the water! Went to sleep each night to the sound of the waves. Location is in a neighborhood just outside Isabel, which has a few places to eat, grocery stores, the ferry, and shops. 15-minute drive to Esperanza and 15-20 to a variety of stunning beaches. Beach in front of house didn’t look like a good place to swim, but you can’t stay on the nicer beaches anyway. Wild horses meander by the house from time to time. House has quality beach chairs/umbrellas and some nice floats for the pool. AC in bedrooms was appreciated and worked well/quiet. Beds comfortable! House is an excellent value and we were very comfortable there!

Okay
Getting to the house is not the a nice scenery, but the property is great. The only down side is that the property is an oven . It was hotter inside the house than outside. After a hot day all you want is to cool off and it's impossible to do that with out A/C. Also the microwave didn't work. Other than that it was. Great place to stay

Beautiful view
The property has a great view of the ocean. It’s close to town and has beach items like lawn chairs and boogie boards…
It was raining when we arrived, and two of the ceilings were leaking water and there was water seeping in one of the back doors.
The cleanliness of the house was lacking. I walked from the shower to my room and my feet were black. The floor in the kitchen was sticky as was the microwave handle and the edges of several plates and bowls.
If maintenance was done on a regular basis and an occasional deep clean the place could be a gem.
This is a beautiful property and the pool alone is worth the stay. The local "grocery" is only a 5-10 minute walk from the house. (I suggest the Family Market over the Supermercado.) We had a problem with mosquitoes when we arrived due to the previous renters leaving doors open but the owners and property manager (Amanda) were quick to fix the problem and were warm and inviting.
A few tips before you arrive: Purchase your Ceiba to Vieques (and return) ferry tickets well in advance. They sell out quickly and your can't purchase them on the same day. Also, rent any vehicles (car or golf cart) before your arrival (We used UTV rentals). Finally, the beach in front of the property is very rocky and not great for swimming. Playa Caracus (Red Beach) was the best for our family. Some waves, pristine beach and friendly locals.
Our stay was unbelieveable and I highly recommed it! The house has all of the amentities of home (WiFi, TV, new kitchen, A/C) but we spend 90% of our time in the pool and enjoying that sunset. We LOVE this house!!

Amazing location - mediocre amenities
There is no better location. But the property itself is in need of some maintenance and repair. Windows and doors that don't open/close/lock properly, kitchen appliances that don't function properly, a ceiling fan with 1/2 the blades missing. A clogged bathroom drain that the prop mgr refused to address. The worst part is that the owner was made aware of most of these issues when I was last there in Aug, but the issues remained 5 months later when I returned.
Pros:Pool was the gem of this rental. We were excited to jump in and cool off and just enjoy the amazing views and calming sounds. Walking distance to town and ferry. Lots of local shops with great food, coffee and drinks. Horses stop by each morning what a beautiful sight. Very spacious check in process easy Cons: Listed as beach/ocean front however no actual access to beach on the property. Air conditioning only in the bedrooms the house was very hot. Roosters woke us up every day at 4 am . Definitely need a vehicle to get to any of the beaches this should be listed on the website. Order tickets for the ferry online ahead of time. They give priority to residents so if you don't have a ticket and ferry is booked you may be bumped and potentially will not get on. We ended up having to rent a private charter boat at 800.00 to make it to the island for our reservation. The place could use some TLC The microwave has duct tape on it and one of the patio doors was not able to be opened to let in the fresh breeze.The house manager was not available when we called her she was at a Dr. Appt on the mainland told us nothing she could do about ants, roaches, and water pressure and we never heard from her again. We are pretty easy going /adaptable so enjoyed our vacation / home regardless.
The best thing about the property is the location on the beach and pool/back deck. The property is in need of a lot of maintenance. The first few days we were there we were in contact with the property manager. Initially there was no dishwasher detergent. They then dropped some by. We then realized the dishwasher didn't work and the only time they could come fix anything was around 4PM as the handyman had another job. Which never worked for us as we were always out at the beach. So that is our fault as they were willing to fix things but the timing didn't work for us and they required us to be present to enter the property. So we stopped complaining but there was lots that needed fixing. The kitchen counter is tile and has multiple cracked and broken tiles. (It is hard to have a clean surface when things are broken). The bedroom doors are swollen from the moisture. You could force any of the doors closed or open but every time I would open the door to the primary room I would run into the door as it catches on the tile floor. I got very tired of this by the end of the vacation. The primary room window slats don't all fully close, so even with the ac on at night that room is hot. The light to the front bathroom is tied to the light in the front bedroom so if you wanted to use that bathroom in the evening you have to have the light to the bedroom on, which didn't work well with children sleeping. The fence around the trash is too short, the horse got in still and threw trash
The space worked well for our family, and bedrooms were all great for A/C. Everyone loved having the pool with the view, and honestly the pictures didn't quite do it justice IMO. Beaches on the island were amazing and they had so much gear available to make the beach day better (chairs, cooler, umbrella, ect.) We would stay here again!
This home is convenient to town & near the ferry terminal, as well as a variety of local amenities such as markets and restaurants. Although the main living area isn't air conditioned (which is common in the Caribbean), the AC in the bedrooms work great. The pool is as beautiful as it looks in the listing and provides views of amazing sunsets.
We stayed for 3 nights, there were 8 of us; 4 adults, 2 13 year olds and 2 10 year olds. Kids enjoyed the pool. We appreciated the short walk from the ferry. (less than 10 minutes and doable with rolling suitcases).
We stayed here for a few days to relax and enjoy Vieques. Easy walking distance from the ferry or to town. Quiet neighborhood with beautiful views. Pool was terrific but no direct beach access. That's not a problem with easy car/golf cart rental. Got one for two days and visited some beautiful beaches. Definitely able to wind down and relax!
Coconut Cay is a charming home and perfectly located on the ocean in a friendly (but quiet) residential neighbor just outside of the vibrant town of Isabel Segunda. The home is well equipped for long stays. The endless view of the ocean from the swimming pool is hard to beat. We loved it here and have already planned our return.
A beautiful house about a 5-10 minute walk from the ferry to Ceiba. Little grocery stores and restaurants. Pleasant to walk around. El Yate was great for food, a 5 minute walk from the house. Beaches and party places are about a 20 minute drive from the house. You have to rent a vehicle. It is wonderfully quiet. The bedrooms have AC, but not the main rooms of the house. Washer and dryer are great!!
We stayed at Coconut Cay with our family of 5 (3 kids - ages 15, 14, and 11). This ended up being a great home base for our 4 day stay in Vieques.
Positives:
Great communication with owners before arrival.
Very close to the ferry - 10 minute walk. The ferry was right on time and so economical - book tickets ahead of time for $2 each.
View from pool deck is very picturesque with the waves crashing in the distance.
The home is bigger than it appears in the pictures - lots of space for larger families to relax in the living room, patio area, around the pool.
The pool is also much larger than it looked and great for relaxing after exploring.
Wild horses come to greet you at the property and we always felt safe in the area.
Walkable distance to Black Beard sports where we took a Bioluminescent Bay tour.
Beach chairs and umbrella being provided was really convenient.
Challenges
Many tiles missing from the pool bottom and sides. I wasn't too worried about it at first, but then my son ripped his hand open pretty good on the sharp edges - we luckily avoided stitches and stopped the bleeding but it was a pretty bad cut. This seems like a fixable problem that would greatly enhance the pool experience.
There were multiple areas of cleanliness that were overlooked when we had arrived - moldy coffee remaining in the coffeemaker; two grease filled pans that hadn't been washed in the oven; the counter was sticky with something sweet - lots of ants and it caused any paper that was put on it to peel off. We ended up cleaning all of these areas ourselves but they seemed like basic things that could have been improved.
Also, the microwave didn't work.
Recommendations
We thought we could get away with our three days without a car but we ended up renting a Ford Bronce and are very glad we did so. With the vehicle, we could access the more remote beaches so much more easily. La Playa de Chiva (Blue Beach) is awesome for a secluded beach for young kids. If you park at spot 9 or 10 you can even walk across to the small island on the sandbar.
Snorkeling - bring your own snorkel gear (although there is some basic gear provided) and drive to Punta Arenas (Green Beach). If you're good swimmers you can swim out near the white buoy (or just follow the snorkel tour groups). We saw sea turtles, sting rays, tons of tropical fish, and there was even a nurse shark (harmless).
Overall, it was a great place to stay on Vieques for our family.
The property was well maintain, needs some TLC on the shower tiles, where not to clean.
Everything else was in really good shape, and was well equipped we didn't need to bring to much stuff.
We will rent it again
I cannot say enough about Coconut Cay. The house is very well kept and the attention to detail makes it feel like a home away from home. The rooms are spacious with powerful air conditioner units that cool things down quickly for a peaceful sleep. The washer and dryer were super helpful. It was also very convenient that quality beach chairs and towels are at the house to use. The view from the back patio is incredible. The pool was a welcome oasis after days of exploring the island. I would recommend this house to anyone and would love to go back again!
