I'm in love with Vieques, the Pool Cottage, and the Bravos Boyz! Our vacation experience was a thousand times better than staying at an overpriced resort. Every detail of cottage was so well thought out - it reminded me of something out of an architecture or design magazine (I wish I could hire the Bravos Boyz to design my home!).
The location was also great - close to town, and only a block from the beach. As for Vieques, I feel like I found a perfect paradise. It was laid back, relaxing, lots of unspoiled beaches explore - all to yourself, and such nice people. My only hope is that it doesn't become overrun by resorts and overdevelopment once the word gets out. Vieques is perfect just the way it is.

The Pool Cottage at the Palm Cottages, on the North Shore of Vieques Island in the beach side nieghborhood of Bravos de Boston, is one of the rental cottages at the residential compound which was formerly a church, its rectory, and several small out buildings. Located in the heart of the lovely Vieques Garden District, the cottagesare surrounded by exceptional tropical gardens designed and maintained by the well-known Bravos Boyz, whose offices are also located in the old church building. The well known La Chata beach is a one minute stroll down the road and a Bravos Boyz favorite for a quick morning swim, searching for sea glass or watching the surfers catch a wave. Bravos Boyz were awarded the prestigious "RATED EXCELLENCE FOR 2011" for property managers by Trip Advisor basically giving their golden seal for staying at a Bravos Boyz managed property.
The Pool Cottage sits directly across the pool from the Palm Cottage and was carved out of the stage of the sanctuary as well as church offices and bathrooms. The Pool Cottage is offered fully air conditioned and with two queen bedrooms with two bathrooms en suite. The signature polished concrete counters and sinks are again seen here stylishly simply yet elegant. Both cottages offer acid stained concrete floors and our guests love strolling in and out of the cottages from the pool as the floors can take it all. The Pool Cottage has an inside living room as well as an outside living room and outside pool side dining on our signature polished concrete table for six to eight. One of the two bathrooms offers an outside shower.
The Pool Cottage offers high quality thread count bed linens as well as white fluffy towels and bright colorful beach towels. The upholstered furniture is very comfortable as well as offering full package cable because watching a movie is relaxing, high speed wireless internet no further explanation needed and land line phones with free long distance to the United States just because! Additionally, we offer you washer and dryers and beach chairs and coolers so that you can reasonably stay in a Bravos Boyz house only needing to bring flip flops, a sarong and a bathing suit.
One of the delights are the many tropical plantings the first of which are 30 foot Puerto Rican Royal Palms that Thom planted from seed around 2003. Additionally, there are Areca palms, Mac Arthur palms, Adorneidia palms, Figi Fan palms, Travelers palms, Coconut palms, philodendrums, orchids, scented Ylang Ylang and spider lilies, hibiscus, blooming bromeliads, bananas, pink, white, and red ginger, heliconias, colorful crotons, various ferns, herbs and many other surprises including, night sounds and visiting Iguanas.
At the Palm Cottages the Boyz have thought of everything to make this a vacation of a lifetime for you and if they forgot something they are always there to help. Our goal has been to create a brand with you in mind and to maintain that brand year after year.
