El Castillo de Bella: Vieques, Puerto Rico vacation rental

01/04/2024

Considering we'd just opened the calendar early March, we were quite pleased to round out the month with two 8+ night stays! Now April is looking a bit lonely so we've reduced rates for the month. Anyone looking to book a last minute get-away? 🌴

El Castillo de Bella - a Vieques gem

22/03/2024

Current Reality: It’s 12 degrees Fahrenheit and 8 inches of snow is expected tomorrow! 🥶

Reminding myself that I could be soaking up the sun on the gorgeous beaches of Vieques, toes in the sand and refreshing cocktail in hand. Are you our next visitor? 😎🏝️🥥

Great opportunity to help an organization doing great things for the animal population in Vieques. 🫶🏻

We had to replace one of our A/c units. The one in our surgical space. Here in Vieques, A/C is not a luxury, it’s mandatory! We got hit with a $5000.00 bill. We know donating towards an AC unit doesn’t bring the same joy as donating to save a pup or kitten, but without that AC, we could not keep working. Can you help us towards this unexpected expense? Thank you for helping us, help them. Please consider a donation here: ourbigfatcaribbeanrescue.org/ or Link in bio on instagram.

Ever ridden a horse on the beach before?! Highly recommend a ride with Esperanza Riding Company, Inc. Thanks for a fun morning yesterday!🐴 We all had a blast and enjoyed our tour of Coconut Beach, Playa Negra, and areas not previously explored. The farm is a mere 5 minute drive away which makes it very convenient. Make a reservation today!

No visit to Vieques is complete without a visit to the crown jewel - the Bioluminescent Bay. Many different tour companies exist here, be sure to book on a day with the lowest amount of moonlight for the best viewing. ✨ It is an experience you won’t soon forget!
