Considered one of the premier sites on the island by all who know Vieques, The Dacha is a beautiful large new house perched on a cliff above the sea. On this point of land facing north to Culebra and Puerto Rico, you get sweeping ocean views above the breaking waves as well as access to your own private beach. You will find some of the island's best snorkeling steps from the front door.

This five bedroom, four and a half bathroom house is perfect for two or three families, great for entertaining should you have a group of friends on the island, or peaceful for just a few people looking for a quiet retreat. You will find a very spacious master suite with an outdoor shower room and a private balcony, two other large bedrooms (each with private balcony) in the main house, and two small bedrooms in the adjacent casita connected by a bathroom (also with outdoor shower) which we designed especially for children to give them a private space.

You may dine alfresco under the wraparound terrace or beside the horizonless pool.  The area offers some wonderful local restaurants as well such as Media Luna, Blue Macaw and La Campesina. This colorful house full of heavy antique Indian and Indonesian Mahogany furniture features lovely little surprises like a cigar smoking tower and tiny balcony one flight above the house, and a narrow stair to the natural pool in the rocks one flight below the house.

In case you don't want to completely leave civilization, we have satellite TV, a washer & dryer, and an extra refrigerator to keep those extra provisions cold. We have recently added broadband Internet, air conditioning in bedrooms and TV and DVD. We built this home during our stay in Puerto Rico but named it in memory of our time in Russia. Our Dacha, or country house, will be with us for many years and many happy memories. We think it is a great escape from a busy life and hope you will agree.
