Description

Vacation "at home" in this great house, Casa Orquidea, one block from the calm Caribbean Sea, on the wonderful, tropical island of Vieques, Puerto Rico.  This completely renovated home sleeps 8 (with a pull-out sofa) with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen, beautiful landscaping, a large weather-protected patio and outside shower enclosed by flowering vines.  On the south coast of Vieques, you'll be staying in the village of Esperanza.  It's just a two-block walk to groceries, a bakery, charming stores, delicious restaurants, happening bars, baseball field with batting cages, a basketball court, huge playground, Catholic chapel, Methodist church...and Internet...if you must.  Vieques is, of course, part of the United States -- no Passports needed! -- and includes the largest National Wildlife Refuge in the Caribbean.  Vieques has a "basker's" dozen magnificient beaches, including two within walking distance of Orquidea, where refreshments and facilities are only steps away, as well as literally miles and miles of other beaches where you'll be all alone...except for the abundant birds and sea life all around.  Click on the website below to discover all you can see and do in the area and come to the auction ready to bid to win this idyllic place!
