The island-municipality of Vieques is colloquially known as Puerto Rico’s ‘little sister’, and it has many beautiful and charming qualities to earn this endearing nickname. It’s a nature refuge full of wild horses and interesting plants on its more deserted east side. Its beauty is enhanced with the bioluminescent bay of Vieques Bio Bay situated in the south, while its west is dedicated to posh, luxurious private beach houses.
The island’s untouched beaches are perfect for snorkelling, the wild horses running free a fascinating sight, and the bioluminescence will leave the moodiest of souls glowing with excitement. With that, it is no surprise that Vieques inspires many to build their own interesting homes here, in tandem with nature. In this modern age, it is now possible for us to all share in the delights Vieques has. Here are 5 HomeAway and Vrbo vacation rentals that combine modern architecture with the unspoilt island’s charms.

To add to the feeling of being at one with nature, the two bathrooms have outdoor showers, which are enclosed for privacy. Cool water and cool winds make for a rather refreshing experience. If you do need to cool down though, there is a pool on the second floor for you to have a good splash in.
