My partner and I have been coming to Culebra almost every year since 2009 but this was our first time in Ann's house, and we loved every minute of our week-long stay there. Ann was very quick to respond to questions over email before we booked the house and this continued while on the island. She was always available and eager to help.
We knew where the house was, so Ann met us there, showed us around the property and told us about new restaurants since our last visit. Everything was in tip-top shape and she had even left two gallons of drinking water in the frig. (The tap water on the island is safe but can have a funky taste.) The kitchen was fully equipped with plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, paper towels, kitchen utensils etc.... We regularly used the dishwasher, coffee machine, and microwave and everything worked great. There were plenty of towels and soap, and we had use of beach chairs, beach towels, and cooler bag to bring sandwiches and other snacks to the beach.
Be aware that this is one big, undivided space--but there is a door to the bathroom. It is ideal for an individual or a couple but not a group. I would recommend a jeep or 4-wheel drive vehicle to make it up the very very steep roads and driveway. I don't think that a golf car would make it.
Our routine was pretty chill: we got up every morning around 6:00 a.m. , cup of coffee in hand, to watch the sunrise from the deck and were home by 5:30 p.m. every evening to watch the sunset (around 6:30 p.m.) on the deck again with salsa, chips, and a glass of wine. In between, we explored the island's many beautiful and deserted beaches, snorkeled, read on the wrap-round deck, and enjoyed the various eateries on the island.
All in all, a very enjoyable stay with a gracious, friendly and attentive host. We will be renting this house again for sure next year! Thanks, Ann! :)
We were lucky enough to enjoy perfect weather and this spot was just what was in order. It was very comfortable for my husband, our teenage son and me. Lots of space and the views are amazing. The open windows allowed us to experience the expansive vistas and trade winds, which kept the temperature very reasonable and bugs away—not even a mosquito bothered us. After mornings snorkeling and swimming, we came back for naps and then found it hard to go back out as it was hard to justify leaving such a great place!
Thank you Ann for sharing this piece of paradise with us! It was the perfect getaway for our 10th wedding anniversary. Culebra is amazing, and your property made it 1,000 times even more beautiful. It is peaceful, clean, and the service you and Jessie provide is the best! We have recommended this to all our friends, and will definitely be returning. Hugs!
My husband and I could not say enough good things about this property or the owner, Ann, and the caretaker, Jessie. We were able to meet up with Ann on our last night in for some great conversation and a drink, which was a treat. The house sports incredible views of the southern sky over the ocean with Viequez and Isla Grande in the distance. The porch and windows wrap around the entire home so it really makes you feel like you’re outside even if you’re sitting at the dining room table. The bar outside provides a breezy cool spot all the time. We stayed in July and even though there is no AC, the house is comfortable with the constant trade wind breeze and large ceiling fans. This is a true island home owned by someone who has great love for the island and the sea. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a place to unplug. Oh, and sunset on the rocking chairs on the porch is also incredible.
