About this home

Casa El Palomar is a charming and welcoming home which has been family owned for decades. The striking purple and sea blue building flanked by a massive and colorful bougainvillea has become a landmark in Isabel II, captured by countless photographers and painted by many local artists. It is located on a quiet street at the heart of town and within a 6 minute walk to Sea-glass beach, and the hustle and bustle of some of Vieques’ best coffee shops, restaurants, and markets. The core of the property is private courtyard similar to a Moroccan Riad. The garden contains a collection of orchids and a wall-mounted seahorse sculpture created by locally renowned artist, Brooke Grant. The encompassing tropical greenery provides a pleasant shade and privacy to the winsome jewel toned pool. The architecture and decor is an eclectic mix of country chic meets the Caribbean with plenty of highly sought after outdoor living space. On the lower level, a bright entry/receiving room connects with a marble and travertine tiled kitchen with garden side dining and a guest 1/2 bath. On the second floor is the home’s main living room and adjoining screened in balcony with traditional decorative rejas that look over the courtyard. The adjacent sitting room features a built in reading nook/day bed. The quarters also have a private meditation/guest bedroom lined with ornamental breeze blocks and a full bathroom. On the upper level master suite, the north facing bedroom and sun room have views to the ocean and has a large sun lit dressing room and full bathroom. The south facing office/study and balcony have views of the fort. Another guest room and balcony overlooks the charming street, where a spiral staircase can easily be added to have spectacular 360 degree views of the fort and ocean. Meticulously maintained, AC throughout, a solar powered pool, 2 outdoor storage areas, and additional storage beneath the lower level stairs, this appealing home also provides convenience and comfort.
