AS SEEN IN ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST

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.

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.
