Welcome to Villa Sandcastle and Casitas, a distinguished property in the exclusive Martineau Beach Estates, once part of the W Hotel enclave on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico. This is more than just a home; it's an invitation to embrace the coveted Caribbean lifestyle, surrounded by the allure of Vieques properties and the enchanting beauty of Puerto Rico. Villa Sandcastle stands as a beacon of luxury living, offering an unparalleled experience in Caribbean life. Imagine waking up each day to the gentle sound of waves from the secluded beach across the street, where the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea stretch as far as the eye can see. The villa, situated on a cul-de-sac of eleven exclusive residences, with a path to the beach across the street, boasts a grandeur that is both inviting and impressive. The heart of this property is the 3-bedroom villa, accentuated by two separate casitas, each a private retreat with its own bedroom, ensuite full bathroom, and air conditioning. The sense of privacy and exclusivity is palpable, as the villa perches 10 feet above street level, its lush gardens and expansive patio area offering sweeping ocean views and an exceptional outdoor living experience. The centerpiece, a 20x40 foot tiled pool, invites relaxation and entertainment, complemented by a well-equipped exterior kitchen, pool bar, and gas grill for unforgettable alfresco dining. The casitas themselves are a testament to the property's versatility, boasting an excellent rental history that presents you with the opportunity to enjoy your Caribbean dream while generating income. The main villa, used exclusively as a primary residence, remains untapped potential for those looking to explore rental opportunities, promising exponential revenue growth when fully utilized. As you ascend the steps to the main villa, you're greeted by a grand foyer that introduces the elegance and scale of this magnificent residence. Each bedroom, with its ensuite bathroom, air conditioning, and high ceilings, offers a sanctuary of comfort. The villa's design maximizes natural light and ocean vistas, particularly evident in the open-plan second floor, where entertaining comes to life. The kitchen, equipped with premium Viking appliances, is a focal point for social gatherings, seamlessly flowing into the living area and out onto the large balcony, where the Caribbean Sea beckons. The master suite, with its direct balcony access, walk-in closets, and luxurious bathroom featuring a jacuzzi tub and separate shower, epitomizes the villa's refined approach to Caribbean living. Additional comforts include split air conditioners throughout the villa and casitas, ensuring optimal comfort. A private library and office, perched high above, offer panoramic views that capture the essence of Vieques – a blend of natural beauty and architectural grace. Designed by EDK Designs and built to perfection in 2008 by Claritza Navarro of M&M Construction, this compound is a solid testament to quality and style, with a footprint of 4,691 square feet of concrete construction, encompassing 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. Amenities such as a propane Generac generator, cistern, satellite TV, security cameras, and internet enhance the living experience, ensuring comfort and connectivity. With property taxes at $6,500 per year and a modest monthly HOA of $205 covering security, trash removal, beach, and common area maintenance, the villa offers both luxury and practicality.
