Amazing Vieques base camp

We couldn't have asked for a better spot for our family vacation in Vieques! There are beaches, restaurants, bakeries, etc all within walking distance, and the design of the house was so comfortable with the breezes, lots of space to hang out together, and well-outfitted kitchen. We especially loved the solar shower and spending evenings watching the sunset from the upper deck. We appreciated Mark and Sarah's (and previous guests') beach recommendations.

Excellent location and Hosts

We were three couples and rented the upper floor. It was perfect for our needs. It provided the perfect launching point for our activities around the island. Being a two-minute walk from the ferry was a big bonus. The apartments were perfectly clean and Mark and Sarah could not have been more gracious. We would have no reservation in recommending this accommodation to anyone.

Island getaway

Ecocasa is quite an achievement, and it was interesting to stay in a house with such attention to sustainable living. Sarah and Mark were excellent hosts. They were very responsive and most helpful.

Rejuvenating

Our trip to EcoCasa in Vieques was wonderful. EcoCase is a beautiful property with many design details clearly thought through, well built, and outfitted with everything needed other than our clothes. Congrats and thank you to Mark and Sarah. The house is conveniently located within walking distance to stores, galleries, and restaurants. Mid 80's every day and no need for the AC at night as the EcoCasa natural ventilation design captures the cool ocean breeze. We were fortunate to be there when Mark was in Vieques and he is a wonderful host. Nature is everywhere in Vieques, the beaches are beautiful, and the people are welcoming. We wish we were still there!Paul and Nancy

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Carter

Host profile image
We are a retired couple living in Boston, but we like to spend our winter months in Vieques. Mark is quite a sportsman who likes to swim, sail, row, and play tennis and golf. He travels once a week to play at one of the many great courses on the main island. Sarah enjoys taking walks on the beach and sitting in the shade reading, cooled by the soft Caribbean breezes. We both enjoy entertaining and have made some good friends since we have been here. We enjoy meeting new people and telling them some of the amazing experiences to be had on Vieques.

Why they chose this property

EcoCasa is located in the Bravos de Boston neighborhood, up the hill from the ferry in Isabel Segunda. It is a five-minute walk to town where you will find restaurants, grocery stores, clothing boutiques, art galleries, aqua equipment rental stores, a pharmacy and several souvenir shops. A couple of small secret beaches are a five - ten-minute walk away, and it is a short ride to the ‘Nature Preserve’ where most of the beautiful beaches are located… and there are plenty of them. It is not unusual to have a cove with ¼ mile beach all to yourself.

What makes this property unique

Mark is an architect with 50+ years of experience in high profile international design. In his retirement he has enjoyed designing limited environmentally sensitive residences both in Vieques and New England. The house, which was finished in late 2022, has a simple but elegant feel, commodious living spaces and a breathtakingly beautiful garden. Porches on upper floors have ocean views and each unit has outdoor terraces for dining. The eco-friendly design subtly incorporates photovoltaic solar energy (86% of electrical usage), convection cooling breezeways, rainwater capture for watering gardens/car-wash, etc., organic cotton sheets, and clothes lines for drying laundry. With louvered windows, ceilings fans in all rooms, and through ventilation, make it possible to limit use of AC to only the hottest summer months.
