QUATTRO (4) CAMERE DA LETTO E QUATTRO (4) BAGNI SU MOLTO PRIVATO 1 IMPOSTAZIONE ACRE.
ELEGANZA CASUALE E FANTASTICO VIVERE ALL'APERTO CON PISCINA, PATIO E PORTICO COPERTO.
BREZZE TERRIFICHE DELL'OCEANO. E VICINO ALLA CITTÀ E SPIAGGE!
TUTTI I MOBILI SONO NUOVISSIMI. IMMACOLATO, LUMINOSO E FRESCO!

PER FAVORE, GUARDA IL VIDEO DELLA VISTA PANORAMICA DALLA LANAI ... UN MORSETTO DI UN VENTO COMMERCIALE CHE SOFFIAMO QUEL GIORNO! (Fai clic sul simbolo del video nella parte superiore della pagina).

La nostra casa è situata in cima alla collina sopra la spiaggia di Punta Melones, con vista sulla baia a est e sull'oceano a sud e ovest. La posizione della casa ti offre la fresca brezza dei Caraibi e la vista dall'alba al tramonto.
Poiché questa è la seconda casa della nostra famiglia, abbiamo prestato particolare attenzione a renderla molto confortevole ed esteticamente piacevole. L'open space degli spazi abitativi interni ed esterni consente un vero relax. Dato che siamo designer, abbiamo portato a casa meravigliose opere d'arte originali e la qualità degli arredi è senza compromessi.
Ogni camera ha un ventilatore a soffitto in modo da poter dormire al suono del mare e svegliarsi al canto degli uccelli. Tuttavia, se senti la necessità, tutte le camere sono climatizzate per un maggiore comfort.

CUCINA:
La cucina è una cucina da chef personalizzata con elettrodomestici di alta gamma. La stufa a propano ha due forni uno piccolo e uno grande per diverse esigenze di cottura. Sopra la stufa c'è un forno a microonde / aspiratore. La grande capacità fianco a fianco del frigorifero / congelatore è sufficiente per soddisfare la famiglia ed è completata da un distributore d'acqua e un fabbricatore di ghiaccio. Vi è abbondanza di ebanisteria che ospita tutto ciò che è necessario. Il legno di ciliegio e i contatori piastrellati creano un aspetto professionale che è solo enfatizzato dalle bellissime pentole Le Creuset e Revere e i piatti infrangibili Cabo e bicchieri sono tutti facili da lavare nella lavastoviglie inossidabile. Oltre a tutti gli utensili necessari per preparare il cibo c'è una griglia per le spezie appena riempita e in genere le basi come olio d'oliva, ecc. Il nostro nipote, Oscar Waldman, dipinse la scena di Cayo Norte quando visitò a Natale.
Fuori dalla cucina si trova la zona lavanderia e l'armadio delle scope. La lavatrice / asciugatrice è per il vostro uso ed è in grado di caricare piccoli carichi.

AREA ABITATIVA FAMILIARE:
L'area salotto è molto rilassata con un divano Seagrass pieno di cuscini. Quattro sedie, due poltrone in teak Ceylon e due poltrone Seagrass, si aggiungono alla conversazione o alla visione della TV in base ai propri desideri. Se hai bisogno di più posti a sedere, ci sono due panchine Sanibel nella hall d'ingresso che possono essere utilizzate più volte. Ci sono tavoli laterali unici con bussola e rocchetto di corda e molte luci interessanti. La natura morta dei dipinti ad olio di Elizabeth Congdon è in netto contrasto con i colori tenui del rivestimento. La TV Sony ha un suono surround, un lettore DVD e con la Dish TV c'è anche la radio Sirius. L'unità porta-finestra aggiunge luce e ventilazione incrociata per creare un posto meravigliosamente fresco all'ombra.

AREA DA PRANZO:
Il grande tavolo rustico in legno di pino è circondato da sedie da bistrot blu e marrone chiaro e ci sono due sgabelli aggiunti in modo da poter tenere compagnia al cuoco o far sedere i bambini lì per cenare. Sul muro è un meraviglioso dipinto di pere di Katie Trinkle-Legg. Le due portefinestre aggiungono tanta brezza di raffreddamento che potrebbe essere necessario chiuderle durante i pasti.

CAMERA MATRIMONIALE:
Il punto focale della stanza è il letto a baldacchino delle Indie Occidentali king size intagliato per assomigliare al bambù, con due bauli da scapolo delle Barbados. I due dipinti ad olio della scena del molo di David Lazarus e la scatola d'arte Butterfly People di San Juan creano una meravigliosa stanza in cui svegliarsi. La vista da un lato è il giardino e l'altro è l'oceano.
C'è una grande area armadio quando si entra nella stanza.
Il bagno è completamente piastrellato con un doppio lavandino con ante e cassetti per la conservazione. La cabina doccia è completa di una mensola per sapone e shampoo, una panca piastrellata e una finestra con vista sull'oceano.

SUITE PER OSPITI:
Letto a baldacchino in mogano Havana king size con intricate gambe tornite e due scrigni di scapola Islandia su entrambi i lati. Le pitture a olio floreali incorniciate scure e i dhories di fronte al letto completano la vista dalla finestra sull'oceano.
C'è un armadio nella stanza.
Il bagno è piastrellato e la vanità ha cassetti e una porta per contenere tutte le vostre esigenze. La finestra si affaccia sull'oceano. La cabina doccia ha un ripiano per shampoo e sapone.

CAMERA A PIEDI:
Due set di letti a castello in acero con finitura naturale, con clip su luci per una lettura dopo il buio. C'è un armadio e due uffici più vili. Le grandi finestre offrono una vista sul giardino. Le stampe animalier sui muri sono un po 'folli.

BAGNO ATTRAVERSO LA SALA:
Le porte in piastrelle e vetro rendono la doccia unica in questo bagno. La vanità ha cassetti e una porta e il piano è piastrellato. C'è persino una vista sull'oceano attraverso la sala dipinta da Loretta Loder.

AREA DA PRANZO LANAI:
Il tavolo e le sedie imbiancati di Ceylon sono disposti per la vista e la brezza verso est e sud. Le sedie sono imbottite per il massimo comfort. Posti a sedere per 6.
C'è una griglia in acciaio inossidabile propano Weber e gli strumenti per barbecue.

ZONA DI SEDUTA LANAI:
Questo è il mio posto preferito per sedermi la mattina e prendere un caffè e guardare gli uccelli, le barche o leggere. La sera puoi guardare il tramonto e divertirti comodamente sulle poltrone e sui pouf imbottiti. Posti a sedere per 6.

GIÙ LA SCALA ESTERNA ALLA SUITE CAMERA DA LETTO POOLSIDE:
Letto queen size in legno Adeline e cassapanche asiatiche intagliate a mano. Stampe di fiori, uno specchio di metallo stravagante e la vista della finestra sull'oceano completano la stanza.
Il bagno è piastrellato e la vanità ha cassetti e una porta per riporre. La finestra si affaccia sull'oceano. La cabina doccia ha un ripiano per shampoo e sapone.
L'armadio è dimensionato in modo appropriato per due.

PISCINA:
La piscina è 8 "x 40" costruita sulla collina e offre una vista meravigliosa sull'oceano, sull'isola di Vieques e Cayo Luis Pena. Rilassatevi nelle chaise longue, cenate al tavolo del caffè rotondo o sedetevi sulle sedie girevoli. La lussureggiante vegetazione tropicale e due grandi ombrelloni ti tengono all'ombra in qualsiasi momento della giornata.

DOCCIA ESTERNA:
Si consiglia di lavare via i piedi di sale e sabbia prima di entrare in piscina o in casa.

Abbiamo installato due trappole elettriche per mosquito: una sul LANAI e una giù dalla piscina.

TELI MARE E PISCINA, SEDIE DA SPIAGGIA, COOLER E BORSE DA SPIAGGIA.

C'È UN FILTRO DELL'ACQUA PER TUTTA LA CASA, quindi NON È NECESSARIO ACQUISTARE ACQUA IN BOTTIGLIA.

Beautiful views in Culebra

We loved a ton of things about the property: spectacular views of the ocean and sunset from the upper deck, a small but nice pool, a very nicely equipped kitchen, and lots of space to spread out or hang out together. The owner and property manager were helpful and communicative. Culebra itself also played a starring role of course!A few things to note:1. There were a ton of mosquitoes during our visit, mostly outside the house but seemingly unavoidably some inside as well. Countermeasures mitigated but did not eliminate this perpetual annoyance.2. A golf cart will not cut it. Don’t even think about a bike unless you’re Lance Armstrong. You will need a Bronco or similar. However if in good shape and not carrying much the hill is walkable.3. To be a good citizen and guest, you’ll need to limit your water usage. Culebra is an isolated island with limited supplies.4. We suffered through brief blackouts (Puerto Rico-wide) and water outages (due to maintenance worker negligence; quickly corrected once diagnosed). These exact events are of course unlikely to repeat on your visit, but stuff happens.Still, we had a wonderful visit and would not hesitate to recommend the place to anyone comfortable with the issues noted.

Perfect location; too many bugs

This house is in a perfect location with an amazing view. The beds are very comfortable and there are no noisy neighbors. The house needs major updates to prevent bugs and lizards from entering. The windows have gaps and some screens have holes as well. We don’t mind critters, but these bugs bite. Also, the house is not clean and the washing machine does not drain.

Awesome views

Nice family home with room for everyone. Kitchen has everything you need plus a few extras. Pool with incredible views day and during the full moon. Close enough to town and beaches. Bring bug spray as those critters are relentless. The only concern is the house needs a really good spring cleaning and all the screens need fixing and scrubbing Might help with the bugs and critters getting in.

Sibling Getaway

The Raven's Nest property is fantastic. The house was designed with sweeping views of the ocean and Ensenada Bay, viewed from the porch, living room and bedrooms. Its location is close to town in case you need something, but also far enough away to where you can unwind. The kitchen is very well stocked for those who like to cook their meals. The pool made for a relaxing area to gather, either before or after visiting the islands beautiful beaches. The furniture and beds were super comfortable and the wall were decorated with beautiful art work. Our guest group included two siblings with partners and there was plenty of room to gather but also space for alone time. A third sibling and partner visited for evening meals. It was a wonderful place for a long needed sibling getaway.

Spectacular home WAY off the beaten path

Raven's Nest sits high on a hill with jawdropping views to both sunrises and sunsets. We spent countless hours with a coffee or a cocktail watching the boats from the lanai, as our teenagers hung out in the pool or chilling by themselves in one of the many comfortable spots. Keep in mind, this is a real island, not like the tourist islands where the cruise ships land. Getting around the island is roughing it by comparison. You can get some fine dining, but the best part of Culebra is being with the locals and doing what they do; eat in town and go to the beach. While arranging this vacation, which happened to occur during Holy Week, I had some doubts about whether everything would come together. But with the owner's advice and recommendations, our travel came off without a hitch, and we enjoyed an amazing stay at this gorgeous place. This must be one of the best properties on the island. But listen. This is an island. There will be critters. There will be a different style of amenity. But the bedrooms are individually air conditioned and very very comfortable, and you'll have everything you need to enjoy yourself. Every time we wished we had something, we opened a closet and there it was. Beach chairs, umbrella. Here's a travel cooler. Here's a couple of canvas beach bags. Here's the pool guy to clean the filters. Here's a WORKING ice maker for once! World class snorkeling at the bottom of the hill (a 7-minute walk, IF you want to walk back up it). I could go on and on.

Fabulous

Raven’s Nest was a perfect place to stay on Culebra with my husband and our friends. The setup of 2 master suites made for equal comfort for both couples. The property provides spectacular views from the wrap around porch with the trade winds providing comfortable breezes all day no evening. The kitchen is well stocked to make meals at home occasionally an easy and enjoyable task. The decor is tasteful and comfortable. Most places on Culebra are a short drive, but it was nice to be close to town for access to restaurants and shopping while still being far enough away to give you the essence of privacy.

AMAZING Vacation!!!

The minute you walk into Playa Sardines your mouth will drop open with the view. The pool was outstanding, refreshing after swimming/snorkeling at the beach at the bottom of the hill. We saw turtles and all kinds of fish at Melones Beach. There were 5 adults, beautiful bedrooms with really comfortable bedding. We cooked in 3 nights and ate out the rest of the week. Our favorite restaurants were Susie’s #1 (you need a reservation), Harspoons #2 (also reservations), Dingy Dock #3, very busy place go early. We spent our mornings gazing out onto the beautiful blue waters. You are going to LOVE this vacation home, we’ve rented a lot of homes and this one is at the top. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home Valerie.

Fantastic villa!

Our extended family of 7 (three generations) just returned from an enjoyable week in Culebra. This lovely house was even better than we expected! The best part about it is the huge shaded deck that wraps around two sides of the house - south-facing and deep, with overhanging roof, there was lots of shade on the deck no matter the time of day. We had fantastic views of the sunset and sunrise from the deck, as it is perfectly situated and high on a hill overlooking the ocean towards Vieques, and several bays. The inside and outside of the villa are entirely on one level, except for the queen (4th) bedroom and pool which are down a flight of steps; this made it easy for the two elderly members of our family to move around comfortably and enjoy the whole house and deck. The inside living-dining area is larger than the pictures make it appear. The large tables outside and inside made family meals enjoyable. The kitchen is fully-equipped with high-quality pans and utensils, spices, and serving dishes - and a large grill on the deck- everything you could want, and much more than the usual rental villa offers. The furnishings throughout the home are of very high quality and beautiful. The décor is tasteful and simple. The artwork is lovely and adds to the beauty of the villa. The bedrooms are spacious and quiet, with good cross-breezes and ceiling fans (there is A/C in all of them but we did not need it). The linens are high-quality, and the house is well-maintained and was spotless when we arrived. Each bedroom has it's own nice bathroom with shower, so we never felt cramped. The pool was refreshing and the teenagers in our group spent a lot of time there. Although some people rent golf carts to get around the island, you will want to make sure you are able to rent a jeep to get up the steep hill to the villa, as carts are not allowed and are not safe on the hill. The location is well worth it for the incredible views, however. Our best snorkeling was off Melones Beach directly below the villa, and the town, with its numerous restaurants, 2 grocery stores, and bakery, was only 5 minutes away. I highly recommend this villa and Culebra for a relaxing vacation. The owner Valerie, and the housekeeper/property manager Jessie, were both extremely helpful in making sure that our stay went smoothly.

Wonderful Property

We had a very pleasant stay in Culebra. Our hosts were accurate in the description of their property. The house was perfect for our needs. It had everything that we needed for a wonderful vacation. Do be prepared that then road to get to the property is a little steep, you will want to rent a Jeep. However the payoff is a beautiful scenery you can view from the back lanai. I would highly recommend this property. The owners do a great job.

Paradise in Culebra

What an amazing week we had!!! The owners were so wonderful to work with and we appreciated their lovely appointed property. The views were spectacular and we enjoyed them over coffee every morning and enjoyed dining alfresco at the outdoor dining table. Every night we would sit and watch the lights of Vieques and look out at the unbelievable stars. The bedrooms had soft sheets and comfortable mattresses and they had refreshing air conditioners as well. My children loved the bunk room and my mother in law wished she had the same mattress at home for the comfort it gave. The abundance of bathrooms made for a relaxed time— not having to share with my mother in law or children makes for a great vacation. The artwork throughout the house made the home feel so personal. I really enjoyed looking at each piece and you definitely felt like you really were staying at a friend’s home instead of a vacation rental. We loved the spacious kitchen and cooked most breakfasts and a few dinners - it was so helpful to have all the things we needed including a dishwasher! The pool was also wonderful— loved how it was down the staircase and the kids weren’t tempted to get in every time they saw it. This house is the idea set up for families. While we didn’t need or use the room off the pool, it would have been perfect had we brought a babysitter or an additional set of grandparents— maybe next time we will! Of course the beaches and snorkeling in Culebra were awesome- it was nice to shower off the sand in the outdoor shower after each adventure. The location was also ideal— we could be snorkeling from Melones in 5 minutes, or super close to town to pick up a pizza from a Heather’s. But— also removed from noises and the only thing you look out and see is stunning landscape. I only wish we had stayed longer. I can’t wait to plan our next trip back to Raven’s Nest. It’s the perfect property for us.

We enjoyed a family reunion of 8 in this beautiful home.

Upon arrival we were taken on a tour of the home. Jessie, the caretaker, was quick to rescue us when we lost power. We really enjoyed the great lanai which had beautiful trade winds blowing almost always. The roads to get there are terrible! We would not recommend a golf cart. We traded ours in for a jeep! we really enjoyed sightseeing and the Beautiful Flaminco beach. we enjoyed taking the ferry to the island. It was well run being very prompt timewise!

Culebra is Magical and the Raven's Nest is Beyond Expectations!

What can I say...the Raven's Nest is absolutely wonderful! Our party of 10 filled it to capacity, but not once did any of us feel we were crowded. The shared spaces - living room, kitchen, lanai/deck area are spacious and so comfortable! The pool is absolutely a fantastic edition to this house! Early mornings on the Lanai sipping coffee watching the sunrise to the East, then a quick drive to the bottom of the hill you are on Melones Beach (which has one of the best snorkeling spots on the island). By mid-morning head out to the the beach of the day (my favorite is Zoni). Spend the day playing in the waves. Grab a bite for a late lunch (Zacos Tacos is delish), then back to the house for late afternoon pool time accompanied by your preferred cocktail of choice (with Rum, of course). Watching the bright blue ocean waves sing and dance from the comfort of your poolside lounge chair - it's perfect. And closing out the day with a finale performance from the sun as it slips beyond the horizon from the west. Dinner at home is easy-peasy - this kitchen is well-equipped, anyone with cooking in their blood would be impressed the cookware, cutlery, and appliances. All but one of our dinners were enjoyed from the comfort of the Raven's Nest! And the Grill!!! What can I say - everyone loves food that has been grilled! My husband and I first came to Culebra 3 years ago on a whim, and quickly fell in love...hurricane Maria left her scars on parts of the island, but she was not able to steal the magic of this enchanted place. We will not be waiting 3 years to return again...and when we do - we will be requesting to spend our stay at the Raven's Nest - thank you Valerie and Rick for sharing your home with my family!

Great location, views, and amenities. Clean, roomy, comfy, and well appointed

Just back from nine nights at Raven’s Nest with my wife and two other couples. The property is as advertised: offers amazing 180-degree unobstructed ocean views, a wonderful, welcome breeze from the veranda, and a spa-like outdoor pool setting. The kitchen is well appointed, and the dining area offers plent of seating for a large family or group. Living room area was comfortable (though the couch is not ideal for napping), and the entertainment system is a nice touch for relaxing at home. Other highlights our group were particularly pleased with included the outdoor grill, outdoor shower for post-beach rinse, beach chairs and umbrellas, cooler, and clean drinking water from the tap. Comfy seating on the veranda, interesting art on the walls, large and clean bathrooms, plenty of plates, glasses, cookware and counter space were also notable. The location is ideal: convenient for a quick trip to the store or shops, but far enough away so that you have complete privacy and quiet. Book your Jeep and your stay at Raven’s Nest today, you won’t be disappointed. We would (and likely will) absolutely return again some day. FInally, the owners, booking procedure, and check-in/out were easy and pleasant. The local property manager is super friendly and helpful. The deposit is certainly warranted given the quality of the property, and was promptly returned after check-out. I recommend this property. Go visit Culebra and experience next-level beaching!!

The views! The pool!

We are frequent travelers and would rate Raven's Nest as one of the nicest, best located, and real value of all the places we have stayed. We were a family group of eight and found everything to be to terrific. We spent hours on the " L" shaped gigantic deck overlooking downtown Dewey (watching the ferry arrive and depart), Luis Pena, and the entire length of Vieques, as well as Ceiba on mainland Puerto Rico. The house is very clean, modern,and had everything we needed to feel at home (if we had a pool! and those views at home!). The beach towels, the beach chairs & cooler were an incredible plus! It's very close to snorkeling & swimming at Melones beach and very near (by jeep) to downtown Dewey. Communication was great with the owner as well. LOOK no further, BOOK NOW.

So great to be back!

Two years away from both Villa Raven’s Nest and Culebra was too long. We were so excited to get back after the hurricanes and see that the villa and the island had weathered the storms without major damage. While there are many businesses just beginning to reopen the island is as beautiful as ever and the beaches are still the best. We had an amazing time snorkeling with the turtles fish and coral, exploring new areas of the island, beach combing, body surfing Flamenco and Zoni, just chilling at home, playing in the pool, discovering new businesses and seeing the damage from the hurricanes. The house is the most perfect place to relax, that view will never get old and my morning coffee is not the same anywhere else. I could have used at least another two weeks there but we sadly had to return to work and school but we will make sure we don’t go another two years before returning. The island really needs you so please help them and chose Culebra for your next vacation.

Culebra is back and all is well!

If you are contemplating a Caribbean vacation Culebra and Raven's Nest is where you want to go! First the house is more splendid than shown in the photos. We loved every minute on the lanai enjoying morning coffee or our rum drinks after a great day in the water. My wife loves to cook and the kitchen is totally set up for any "chef". And the pool with that view!! Each day we went to a new beach location. Whether it was to snorkel or swim there is no shortage of locations on this fantastic island. The fish, coral and turtles were outstanding. We even lucked out on witnessing a leather back turtle hatch on Zoni Beach. Never seen anything cuter than that. Watching those tiny turtles waddle to the ocean as if they had done it the year before. What a delight! The island has power and water and most restaurants and stores are taking credit cards. (It's still a good idea to bring some cash though) Valerie lowered the rental rate temporarily as we are asked to conserve energy. So the air conditioners are only run at night. (Which by the way we never used them anyway as the air at night was so soft and cool) And some minor hick-ups like the dishwasher was damaged by the power fluctuation during the two hurricanes. But to be honest those are minor problems, when you are there to enjoy all the beauty the island has to offer. This is our second stay at Raven's Nest and we are already planning our next trip, as Culebra is now our Go-To vacation spot.

Informazioni sull’host

Host: Valerie & Richard Norton

Immagine del profilo dell’host
We live on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts and have a family business of architectural design, construction and property management. We have rented homes throughout the U.S. through VRBO and in addition to our second home on Culebra we have a family cottage on the beach in Nantucket that we rent.

Perché ha scelto questa struttura

Raven's Nest was purchased in March 2014 as our family's second home after traveling to the island twice for vacation.. We have four grandsons and we wanted to be able to have family get-togethers here on Culebra. You will find the house is not furnished solely as a rental property but as a place where we can all meet and feel as comfortable as our home on Nantucket.

Cosa rende unica questa struttura

We decided on this house because we are craftsman and we appreciate all the beautiful features that really make this house special. The well built structure, high wooden ceilings, the large ell shaped porch, the exotic plant life, incredible swimming pool with patio and the most important part of the house is that VIEW!
