Casa Alyssa in Puerto Rico

For more details on both Vieques and Casa Alyssa, please visit our website, which is listed below. 

Casa Alyssa is a gorgeous new hilltop vacation villa on the Isla de Vieques, 10 miles off the coast of Puerto Rico’s main island. As a small island of which 2/3 is nature preserve, with no cruise ship ports or all-inclusive resorts, Vieques is one of very few remaining spots to have escaped the corporate development that is typical of just about every other Caribbean destination. As such, it maintains its unique local charm, near deserted beaches and, most importantly, a remarkably stress-free, relaxing environment for your soul.

As Elle Magazine eloquently described it: “Vieques' main attraction is its unspoilt beaches. [We] went days without seeing anyone. …this is how Vieques trumps most of the rest of the Caribbean: rather than being a place to come for flag-in-sand service […] it feels like your very own desert island, and there really is no sexier place to play at being stranded.” In other words, Vieques is for those seeking a more authentic, pristine and peaceful Caribbean vacation experience, although you will still find many of the amenities you expect, such as water sports and fine dining, etc. 

CASA ALYSSA IS NOW BABY-FRIENDLY! We have a crib and stroller that are suitable for babies and toddlers, and 2 car seats suitable for newborns and for up to 4 years old. 

Casa Ayssa is located 240 feet above sea level with a view of the Atlantic Ocean and the Isla de Culebra. It has 3 large bedrooms (plus fold-out sofa-bed in the living room sleeps 2 more), each come with linens, towels and their own full bathroom. Air conditioning, ceiling fans or soothing ocean breezes will keep you comfortable under the sun or in the shade. The large, open dining room and living room offer ocean views from 2 windows and open out onto a large covered patio with another dining area and a good ocean view. 

The kitchen is fully equipped for gourmet cooking, including stainless steel appliances, espresso machine, and a BBQ outside. The house also has a washer and dryer, yoga mat, satellite TV and surround sound entertainment system (including iPod hook-up) and high speed internet (bring your cell phones – they work on the island too!). You will also enjoy the added relaxation benefit of watching the island’s wild horses mill about around our property all day long!

Located just a 4-5 minute drive from Isabel Segunda, where you will find all the amenities (grocery stores, banks, gas stations, post office, restaurants, & bars, etc), and just 10-15 minutes from numerous, often deserted beaches. It's also just 8-10 minutes from the Malecon (boardwalk) in Esperanza, where you will find all the water sports (kayaking, sailing, scuba diving, including bio-bay) as well as cycling excursions and many more restaurants, bars and shops. 

Casa Alyssa also provides folding beach chairs, coolers, beach towels and body boards – everything you need to spend a relaxing day on the untouched beaches of Vieques from the first moment you arrive! 
Owner/hosts, Gerry & Francine, are available during most of the high season (they live in the downstairs apartment, but solid concrete construction ensures complete privacy and noise insolation) to offer any information, advice or assistance you may require to make your stay in Vieques as pleasant and fulfilling as possible. In their absence, we have a property manager who is always on call to answer any questions or solve any problems. Nothing makes them happier than to share their love of this incredible island with first-time visitors like you!
