About this property

Private Pool Bar in Paradise with Panoramic Caribbean View! a/c, WiFi, perfect!

Designed as a private paradise for two adults only, Bonita Vista is centrally located and easy to get to, yet very private. There are no other rentals on the property. This new hillside retreat features a large, covered pool bar with breathtaking views overlooking the Vieques National Wildlife Refuge and Caribbean Sea.

A relaxing afternoon poolside slips easily into sunset cocktail hour and dinner from the grill. Perhaps a swim under the stars or a magical moonrise over the bay!

Just steps away to the cottage where your luxurious queen bed awaits and A/C or soothing tropical breezes lull you to sleep. Awake to a spectacular sunrise and enjoy a 'rainfall' shower in your en-suite bathroom. Savor your morning coffee from the fully equipped kitchen while you plan the days adventure!

Turnkey Paradise!

There have been countless favorable reviews of Kris and Barbara's place in recent years, and we are now proud to say each and every one is 100% accurate! Every 'box is checked' from the views to the amenities and tranquility. If I had one concern all week, it was that the blender motor would hold out! LOL. Thank you again gracious hosts!

Peaceful retreat

Four days was not long enough! I agree that photos do not do this property justice. That view!! Plus stargazing at night, lush surroundings, comfortable well equipped studio. The location between Isabel Segundo and Esperanza was convenient to everything. Communication with the owners was seamless from start to finish. We would gladly return!

Extraordinary Hillside Paradise

We just returned from a 4 day stay at Bonita Vista and I wish we had stayed longer! The property has expansive views over the wildlife preserve to the sea,enjoyed from either your sitting area outside your cabin or from the lounge chairs of your private pool cabana. I found it very hard to leave the property and explore the island! The landscaping is just a tropical paradise. We had everything we needed, lots of beach towels, beach chairs and even a cooler was provided for our outings. Kris and Barbara are very thoughtful hosts, the map marked with special spots was very appreciated. Thank you again for creating such a perfect place to stay!

Vieques Getaway

My wife and I spent a wonderful week in Vieques. Kris picked us up at the airport in his car, which we rented for the week, which was extremely handy. Communication prior to our arrival was excellent and the check-in process seamless. The casita was perfect for two. Clean, private, well-equipped, with an amazing ocean vista over the green of the island. Kris was available whenever necessary but gave us our complete privacy otherwise. Wonderful property, we'd stay again without hesitation!

Amazing!

Stayed at Bonita Vista for 10 days. Been coming to Vieques for now our 12th year. Barbara said that the property was "a labor of love " for her husband Kris. No doubt they put in a lot of hours of hard work and it really shows. We absolutely loved it there! From the perfect little cottage to the very cool bar and pool area. The view was spectacular as well. Pretty much located between Esperanza and Isabel so getting around was easy with "Matilida" our somewhat old but feisty little golf cart! It is the perfect place for a couple to enjoy time together. We hope to go back next year. Thank you Barb and Kris!

This is a perfect place to stay on Vieques. The cottage is lovely. The pool and pool bar are delightful. Everything you need to enjoy a stay is at hand, from cooking at home to cooling off after a day exploring or at the beach. Hosts Kris and Barbara have thought of everything and are incredibly responsive and helpful. You'll delight in listening for roosters, horses, and birds from your exceptional perch above the preserve overlooking the Caribbean. Truly among the best.

Absolutely Lovely

The pictures do NOT do it justice. This place is breath taking. Lush, green, nature all around you. Full and total privacy even though they live right on the property. Accessible via golf cart. The house is small but perfect for a short stay. We were there for 7 days. All the things you need for cooking. And we can’t say enough how wonderful Barbara and Kris are. We loved loved our stay and would come back again anytime!

Prettier than the pictures

An extraordinary property, and as others have reviewed, the views are amazing. Morning with the roosters, birds, and horses, and star gazing at night. We rented the vehicle from Kris and Barbara, and roamed the island which has a variety of road conditions. Entry and exiting the cottage is a challenge due to a steep and slanted grade as well a a sharp turn. We prepared most of our meals at the cottage, and ate at the pool bar. Gas grill was clean, and WiFi was good. The bioluminescent tour at Mosquito Bay is a must do. Highly recommend this property. Kris and Barbara are fabulous hosts.

Private and Spacious

This place was great for us. It's definitely much more spacious than the pictures imply, at least for us two. An amazing view overlooking the Eco Reserve, plus an outdoor covered area with a grill and bar where we cooked a few dinners. Also, this spot is central and is maybe a 7 minute drive to Esperanza and Isabel II, or any of the many beaches. We are coming back to the island and staying here next winter. K&B will give you total privacy but will also be available as soon as you text or call them.

Beautiful View and Central location

This is well appointed clean studio and the view is fantastic from the pool bar!!! I would book it if you are looking at it! We enjoyed it every day - eating outside with the view, relaxing with a book by the pool. The hosts were very nice and gave a great overview at the beginning and then we felt like we had the view, pool and of course the studio all to ourselves. We used the kitchen and fridge - well appointed for cooking with everything you need and spices/condiments that folks left behind. Thanks for sharing your wonderful place!

Just what we were looking for!

We were looking for a place to completely relax with a beautiful view, kitchen, pool and privacy. This was the perfect choice. Access to their car was a great benefit, including airport pick up and drop off. We had everything we needed to make our own meals, pack lunches, beach chairs and towels, cooler, etc. Shower was awesome - warm and great pressure which you don't always find with a rainfall shower. Everything is so close, yet we were often the only people on the beaches and hikes. Highly recommend it if you are looking for privacy, relaxation, pool, and amazing views!

Two Weeks in Paradise

We loved this place! Kris & Barbara were so responsive and helpful. They really have created a fun little cottage and work hard to keep it spotless. It was hard to leave when the time came to go. Renting their car was a great decision, as a vehicle is really needed in this location. Vieques was fun to explore, and we went all over. Be sure to spend time in both Isabelle II and Esperanza. (By the way, we loved the Bananas restaurant in Esperanza.) My husband had served in the Navy in Puerto Rico in the 70's and enjoyed seeing some of the places he had been way back then. Thanks for a lovely vacation!

Best Location/Vacation!

Kris & Barbara are great hosts... we just spent 14 nights there and may have seen them twice I think the whole time. Relaxing and beautiful place!! The forethought by Kris & Barbara for all the basics at the cottage was taken care of. You unpack, (or wait til later) :) and go! My wife and I are looking forward very much to returning and would love to stay at Bonita Vista again! The pics don't do it justice, they have a wonderful setting and view there. A little piece of paradise for sure!! Thank Again to both of you :)

Truely Paradise!

We spent 5 nights here and I did shed some tears leaving, it was so wonderful! The pictures do not do it justice. It is truly paradise. Barbara and Kris have created a wonderful escape here. They were the perfect hosts. We appreciated the map with all the information on it, very helpful! We also appreciated using the beach chairs, cooler, and snorkel equipment. Everything we needed was provided. We loved watching the sun come up over the ocean. We spend part of the day relaxing by the pool and part of the day exploring the island. We loved sailing, the bio bay, and horseback riding. We truly enjoyed every moment of our time there and hope to return some day!

Paradise Found

Thank you Barbara and Chris for being a part of our introduction to Vieques! Bonita Vista worked perfectly for us. It is the ideal place to relax and leave the work world behind - we even didn't mind the internet access being down during our visit! Everything was as advertised except the website photos don't give you the full 180° view that spoiled us while we were there. The entire place was spotless and Chris' landscaping is amazing. Being able to have the grill helped us enjoy some excellent eating (as well as a fine assortment of restaurants around the island). Everyone we met (locals and other travelers) added to a most pleasant experience. Truly a beautiful place. Our idea of a perfect Caribbean vacation!

Our Own Slice of Paradise!

Our first 5 nights in Puerto Rico were on the island of Vieques. We enjoyed our own modern, air conditioned, cottage and even had a pool and pool house adjacent to the cottage. The view over the wildlife refuge to various Caribbean bays and beaches was really wonderful. The setting had a rural feel that made us feel at home. The owners made sure that we got to the cottage and provided a map of the island with recom-mendations. We enjoyed being able to cook breakfast in the cottage though we had to try out a different restaurant each evening. The world's best bioluminescent bay is on Vieques, almost in view of the cottage. It is truly a "must do" experience! This property was a great place to call home for 5 nights. We were in need of that slower pace. Thanks for blessing us with your special place.

Beautiful and Magical!

Wonderful rental property!!!! My husband and I traveled for 5 days to Vieques and traversed the island commenting on how the location of this casita was PERFECT!!!! The view of the refuge is beautiful, calming and magical. The most gorgeous and non-populated beaches of white soft sand and calm, warm, bright blue waters are less than 10 minutes away, and the location is central and tucked away in quiet, peace and stillness. The room is equipped nicely, big fridge, stovetop, coffee and spices, lots of towels, etc.. The A/C is very powerful and beds/pillows extremely comfortable. The owners are thoughtful, and helpful. The bar/pool is perfect to grill up dinner and relax to the sounds of the birds (which we did!). Rental of the SUV from owners was more than convenient. We had not one complaint, and will plan to come back to this very same little piece of heaven. Thank you, Kris and Barbara. Tom and Tracy (late April/early May '22)

Private couples retreat!

Kris picked us up from the airport and gave us a quick run down of the town, Isabel Segunda, on our way to the property. Once there, his wife, Barbra, greeted us with a map and showed us around the property and the little bungalow. Their map was very useful when looking for restaurant ideas and beaches. They were kind and friendly and answered questions (text) promptly. The views from the covered “porch” area are even better in person. Star gazing from the pool was one of my fave nightly activities! The bungalow is well stocked for kitchen needs, the shower was so nice after a hot and exhausting day at the beach. The bed was really comfortable as well, that’s one of the biggest risks I think when renting is the bed, and they sure passed the test with theirs! AC worked like a champ! Curious little lizards come up around the porch area, we seen iguanas in the tree tops being clumsy, that was fun for us! Vieques is definitely one of the most magical places I have ever been, it is worth the trip to get there. This little bungalow was absolutely perfect for my husband and I, we’re grateful to have the memories we do of Vieques and this special property!

our unfortunate stay!

The moment we arrived to the airport in Viques, the property owner was late and we felt from the beginning some discomfort and attitude. When we got to the cottage, she started explaining the rules at her rental property and was very reluctant to help or answer questions we asked. We felt uneasy and unwelcomed. Then she showed us the cottage, on the outside it had a beautiful view but inside it wasn't very clean. The place didn't have any hot water or a wi fi according to the description. We had to check out the very next morning, the owner agreed to issue us a refund but it never happened after we had turned our keys. We paid for the whole entire stay and only got $324.00 back. Never back again!
