Here's a review posted on our HomeAway listing from a guest who stayed at Casa Dos Chivos in March 2012:
Having just returned from a fantastic week on the island of Vieques and Casa Dos Chivos, no photographs can do justice to location overlooking the sea and the north side of the island as well as the thoughtful detail that Michael and Patrick have put into their two-level villa. As one couple, we rented the one-bedroom unit on the top floor and enjoyed sweeping views of sea and sky from our wonderful veranda.
Renee, the manager for the property, greeted us at the airport, helped us collect our rental car and provided us with lots info to get us started. When we arrived the villa was spotlessly clean. Casa Dos Chivos takes your breath away when you step through the door: it is tastefully decorated and so comfy. We love to cook so we appreciated the well outfitted kitchen and gas grille. The set up for our Ipod, WiFi, and DVD collection with flat screen TV are thoughtful touches - but the library is the best with a wide variety of beach reading to please any taste!
We explored many of the beaches (Blue Beach was our favorite) but loved returning to "our home" at the end of our Vieques adventures. We slept so soundly in the quality king-sized bed and woke up with coffee on the veranda every morning. The hosts provided beach chairs, umbrellas, and coolers so lunch on the beach was easy. The washer and dryer are so convenient, too!
Michael and Patrick also have a great guest guide that is an easy overview of getting oriented on the island - beaches, restaurants, activities are all there. The guest comments are also rich in details making it easy to have a great vacation even as first-time visitors.
We fell in love with the island vibe and can't wait to return to Vieques and Casa Dos Chivos. The people are friendly and kind - we gave a local named Pedro a ride to work one morning and when he saw us at the market 2 days later he gave us a big hello like we were long lost friends. It was a nice experience!
We also fell in love with the horses that seem to be everywhere on the island - especially the little foals with their moms. Amazing! This feels like the real Caribbean experience that we all long for when the weather is tough in the Northeast...warm turquoise waters, soft white sand, warm Easterly breeze and swaying palms trees.
We would suggest flying to Vieques as the ferry is unreliable - there are three airlines that fly into Vieques and we had a great experience with Vieques Air (VAL). We will happily return to Casa Dos Chivos again!
