We love Coral Cottage. good vibes, good times. It was a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of busy DC. Thank you for making this a home away from home.
Much love,
Leilani, Stephen, Guillermo, and Marta

All in all, we spent a terrific week here. The cottage was great, the people everywhere were welcoming, the food very tasty, and the beaches empty and beautiful. It's very hard to be leaving.
―Brad & Eileen, Richmond, Vermont
February 12-19, 2010
Can we stay another week? Please...... Vieques is an absolute paradise ― the beaches are amazing, the people so friendly, the food is great. Secret Beach was our favorite, but arrive early to secure a shady palm tree. Sun Bay and Navio are close seconds. Unfortunately, Garcia and Green were closed for road construction. Do NOT miss the Bio Bay ― a magical experience. El Quenepo in Esperanza has amazing food ― the blend of Caribbean flavors in the 4 dishes we had was just out of sight. The best part about being in Vieques is living in the small community. Unlike other islands, it's nice to not have the entire island catering to the needs of the tourists. Very special.
Coral Cottage is perfect. Met all of our needds and more. Bravos Boyz and Thom were very helpful,.
Hope to see this beautiful place again soon.

Mi primera impresio´n de la casa ha sido familiar. Me encanta, a mi novio tambie´n. Nos quedariamos aqui´ por mucho tiempo.
It is so relaxing and peaceful. I really appreciated the fact that Alberto came with Don Oscar to get us. I am a dog lover and he is great.
The house is great, just how I want my space to be. We had a very relaxing stay at Coral Cottage. Lovely experience and we will be back.
―Gabby, Alex
We had a wonderful week in this beautiful little cottage – and exploring the beaches of Vieques. Our favorite spot were Blue and Red Beaches & Playa Prieta too. (is that Secret Beach)? All were not crowded and spectacularly gorgeous. Skip Gringo Beach (the name showed have told us that!) and Green Beach is worth a peek too. We had a few excellent meals- El Quenepo in Esperanza, Topacio, Duffys (fish tacos!) Sadly, Mamasonga was closed all week, so we never had the pleasure that others enjoyed. Did spend some quality time across the street at Al’s Mar Azul. Though! The house is a lovely oasis- Thank you for sharing it with us. We had a lot of fun here cooking here & eating and playing cards on the back deck. Thank you!! will be back. NY, NY
Well what can we say? This place is absolutely amazing. We loved the cat the usually hangs out around here. The Beaches are wonderful, the beds are absolutely comfortable and it almost feels like home. Good to have a TV… don’t have one at home. The house is well supplied. We had a great time here at the Coral Cottage and we hope to come back again. Thank you… NYC, NY
What a wonderful stay at the Coral Cottage! A few haiku’s to describe our experiences. Beautiful Beaches, Red, Green, Blue, fun in the Sun, Vieques, I love you! Million phosphors glow, wet skin and senses sparkle. Love wife, best friend, life. While swimming with fish I feel the reverdecer Isle of Enchantment. Hey lagartijo; el gatito te sigue… corre rapido. Hope to be back soon! P.S. Things not to miss: The Bio-Bay (we use Abe’s) Red, Blue, and Green Beaches were great with good snorkeling. But we heard that snorkeling here in Bravos the Boston is great, so try it. Rome, GA and Charleston, SC
This is our second stay at the Coral Cottage, as we are lucky indeed, to know the owners. Along with good judgment and taste the Bravos Boyz has a heart of gold! We have both enjoyed the amenities of Coral Cottage; the Crisp linens, washer & dryer convenience and the wall kept grounds. The ceiling fans in every room keep the house cool, comfortable and airy. The added touches of various arts on the walls are attention to details to be savored. Coral Cottage is well stocked, but I would agree with other guest comments that some other staples be available such as salt & pepper. I do understand that leaving “food” may attracted bugs, but the salt and pepper could be left in air tight Tupperware. All in all, we are grateful to escape New England’s cold winter and bask in Vieques’ 80 degrees climate in the comfort of Coral Cottage! Thank you kindly, Portland, ME
Loved Coral Cottage and yard. Cooked-in more than ate out. Topacio was good! Had few visits from dog next door, wanted more! We saw spine lobster and star fish @ Mosquito Pier (snorkeling). Saw Sea turtle @ Sunbay.

Feb 15 – March 1, 2006, NYC
Very much like a honeymoon for us! Coral Cottage will always be “our special place”. You can be proud of the quality of everything in the Cottage. It is a great location and comfortable layout. For us it has been heaven.
Thank you so much Tom and Kevin! We’ve had an utterly delightful time. Watched most of the marvelous assortment of movies you have here, enjoyed our meal on the porch, etc. Having the cooler and ideal beach chairs was such fun for our daily beach trips.
Best of luck with all your projects and please let us know when you come to NYC.
Feb 4- 11, 2006-03-08
The Coral Cottage was a great base for our excursions on the enchanted isle. We will miss Mr. Lizard. We hope to be back very soon and we wish the best of times to all who stay here.
Jan 16th to Jan 28th, 2006, Indianapolis, IN
Thanks for a great stay in Vieques. This was our second trip here and we love it. We’ll be back.
Jan 13th – 15th, 2006, Woodbury, MN
Great time in Vieques, Especially at the Overlook (the party). We will be back.
Jan 8th – 13th 2006, Madison, Wisconsin
We had a great time here. The cottage is well appointed and comfortable. Especially liked the garden hammock and outside patio area for grilling and eating. If you have a bigger group like we did you will want to make reservations at the limited amount of restaurants. The beaches here are beautiful. We especially liked Blue Beach and Navio.
28 Dec – 3 Jan 2005, Willamsburg, VA
We had a terrific time here at the Coral Cottage. We got here one day late and had one day of bad weather but the rest of our stay was great. House is comfy – we liked special touches like beach chairs, bag, and towels, VCR and movies, some of which we watched, pina colada fixings, and the personal tour of Isabel II by Tom upon arrival.
We very much enjoy Vieques and hope that the residents keep out the big resorts out. A couple of good restaurants would be nice!
November 10th – December 10th, 2005, Ashville, NC
Kevin and Tom,
Great place you guys have here! Loved the hammock, sounds of the ocean and comfortable beds. Thanks for a great stay! The Coral Cottage is too cute.
October 13 – 20, 2005, Boston, MA
Thanks so much! This place is fantastic. It was wonderful to be able to come here to rest and recharge the batteries. Keep up the great work and hope to see you soon.
PS – Loved the Hammock
Tom and Kevin,
Thanks for the “retreat” at Coral Cottage for the week while working on our house in town. Your cottage is an inspiration for us is comfort here in Vieques.
Aug 1 to 13, 2005, Nashville, TN
This was our second stay on Vieques – what a treasure. A great place to unwind.
July 24 through 29, San Juan Puerto Rico
This is one of the Best experiences ever. Living in San Juan, Puerto Rico sometimes can become a hassle.
At the end of the week you need to quiet down a little bit and get stressed out. My husband and I needed that. I found this place a week before coming here. I thought I could never find a place like this in such a short time but I did. It came right from heaven.
It is such a beautiful place and you don’t need anything just a couple of things from the market and that’s it.
We love the beautiful beaches. It’s like being in paradise.
We are planning our next trip with our family, my dad will love this, and we will definitely come here.
Thanks for everything on our honeymoon. Keep up the good work guys.
July 2 – July 9 2005, New Jersey
Fantastic Island – The Coral Cottage was clean and well appointed. We had a great time cooking and using the grill. Conveniently located next to the Bravo which has great food and great views of the shooting stars.
Blue Beach was the greatest, Navio was also fun and we found the locals to be extremely friendly.
April 15 – April 21, 2005
The Coral Cottage is an excellent place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. We highly recommend Café Espanola and Much Gusto for local food. This place is awesome and we’ll definitely be back.
March 20-28th 2005, San Francisco, CA
We can’t “crow” enough about the Coral Cottage! Thanks for everything – we really had a good time. Blue beach was the best. I’m sure a biobay tour is great, but make sure there’s no moon.
We’ve been so comfortable here, we could just stay for months. The gardens are lovely and we enjoyed an Easter Morning egg hunt out there with our four year old. I’m now addicted to Pina Coladas, so great to have the ingredients stocked on arrival. Mar Azul was our favorite evening hangout – shoot pool and watch the sunset almost every night. Child friendly too. We would whole heartedly recommend the Coral Cottage to anyone. Thank You,
March 12 – 19, 2005
Tom and Kevin,
We had a fabulous time at the Coral Cottage! Very private and nicer than the pictures! Vieques is so enchanting, we will undoubtedly be returning! The biobay was definitely a once-in-a lifetime experience that we won’t forget. Great food and great people. Best Wishes.

Thank you Tom- for picking us up at the airport, guiding us thru town and wonderful Coral Cottage. This is the last week of our three week stay in Puerto Rico – and this is, by far, the nicest place we’ve stayed. Thank you for all the nice extras you have at the Coral Cottage – it made our stay extra special!
Thanks again for every thing!
Long term rental from April 2003 to October 2004
4/7/2003, Israel
We had a great time. The cottage is well equipped which is so important for cook lovers as us. That’s the ultimate vacation for us. We look forward to being here next year.
3/4/2003, Maryland
What a perfectly appointed cottage! We immediately fell in love with your house, yard, view, and ambience. From the fans, to the AC, to the icemaker, to the glass top table, the kitchenware, cd player, every convenience!
We wish we could stay longer! Our two 90 year olds fared well, went on the biobay but skipped the snorkeling.
This place was so excellent. We loved it. Thank you so much we hope to come again.
1/29/2003, Marquette, MI
From being greeted at the airport until our departure, the Coral Cottage and Vieques ended a beautiful two week vacation in this tropical paradise. Tom’s introduction to the cottage and island was very helpful. We beachcombed, swam, explored, as well as ate and drank some wonderful food and beverage. Weather was perferct, especially with reports from the mainland of sub-zero temperatures!
With fairwinds, we’ll return someday!
1/24/03, Province Town
Thanks Tom and Kevin,
The cottage worked out great for us. As you well know, we’ll be back before you even miss us. Thanks again for all your help. Looking forward to being your new neighbors. Hopefully, we’ll give you some landscaping competition in the future. Keep in touch and don’t forget that visit to P-Town.
Jan 10, 2003
Hey Tom and Kevin,
We had a blast this week…..thanks for maintaining such and accommodating cottage! We both feel like we got lucky on our first Caribbean adventure.
November 23 – December 6, 2002
It was beautiful, it was charming, it was peaceful and quaint. It was everything life on the beach should be. Thanks to Tom and Kevin for all the small touches that made this house perfect.
PS – Just three final words: Three Pound Lobster!!!! Amazing
July 12, 2002, Leawood, Kansas
Tom and Kevin,
Such incredibly hospitality we have enjoyed since the moment we stepped off the ferry. From being picked up at the dock to the basket filled with rum, pineapple and coconut for fresh pina coladas. The Coral Cottage offered everything we needed for an effortless vacation. Thank You.
---------------------
Charming house with gracious and tasteful amenities, especially the pina colada fixings. Much thought put into everything here – one could not ask for a better appointed cottage.
Tom and Kevin are thoughtful, kind and generous and we would like to get to know them. We had great Vieqense food at Much Gusto (authentic and very inexpensive) – a short walk into Isabel Segunda.
April 2002, Miami Florida
Thank you for being such gracious hosts! The Cottage is absolutely perfect. Thank you so very much we will stay with you again.
3/28/2002, McCall, Idaho
Had a great time on the Island. Loved the Coral Cottage. Tom and Kevin were wonderful and very helpful. This is our second year here and we will be back again.
3/17/2002 Winchester, PA
A spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped house with real charm in a great neighborhood; one of a kind place. It is also a great benefit on this island to be a friend of Tom and Kevin. Come and see us some time on Cape Cod.
Feb 15, 2001
What a great place to stay. Tom and Kevin you have done a wonderful job with this cottage. Thank you for sharing it with us! Oh, Café Media Luna has great food!
1/12 to 1/16 2002
Thanks so much for the wonderful place to stay. It was great being able to cook and enjoy a place to ourselves. The house works great and the weather was perfect. Hope to be back soon. Thanks Again!
1/5/02, New York City
Hey! Thanks for everything! We had a fabulous time in Vieques and can’t wait to come back.
12/25/01 to 1/10/02 Rhode Island
“Christmas in the Caribbean” is the way to go! Coral Cottage is a little slice of heaven, great job! See you next year.
Dec 17, 2001
We love Vieques. So we must return to collect our hearts.
Maybe it was the beaches, the sea, the beautifully appointed Coral
Cottage or Tom’s hosting skills – whatever we will see
you again.
