My wife and I wanted to get away from it all and Costa Brava seemed like a good fit for us. We never met James nor did that bother us. This place is self sufficient. We stayed in the airstreem and its a blast. When we got back I read some of the reviews and it seemed silly that some... More

Just returned from a fun getaway to Vieques- and a fabulous stay at Costa Brava! If you're looking for a place to chill out, you'll love Costa Brava. You'll feel like a local by the time you leave. We stayed in the apartment which had everything you need. Staying here is like staying with a friend that lives on the... More

This was a super and special weekend! We had a great time, relaxing and having a lot of fun at Vieques and Costa Brava Guest house. Starting with a super host – James- that always is willing to help and give you advice on where to go and help with anything you may need. This host is one in a... More

Wow, were to begin... our trip was absolutely amazing and I am sure that it would not have been as good if not for our stay at Costa Brava Guest House. We stayed in the apartment and found it was perfect for a couple with everything you could possibly need (including a partially stocked fridge). James was a terrific host... More

I can think of no better endorsement of a vacation, especially a short trip down to the Caribbean, than "it felt so much longer than it was." My wife and I had only two nights on Vieques, and we're damn glad to have spent what felt like a week at James' house, Costa Brava. The location is ideal, tucked away... More

Private spot to hang around, nice pool, a very short walk to the beach. James is an excellent host. Our trip was very relaxing and unique. We stayed in an airstream apartment complete with AC and whirlpool tub. Several visitors came and went throughout our stay which added even more personality to our Costa Brava experience!

Costa Brava is THE BEST! I've been a repeat guest at this fanstastic guesthouse. The pool, the view, the house, the vintage airstream, the poolside bar.... I couldn't ask for more. Not to mention the hosts, James and Hila are incredibly helpful. They recommend the best restaurants, beaches, cooked "family" dinners.. they even let us use their car. The most... More

I miss it so much. Life gets so stressful at times and then you go to Jamse's villa and all troubles magically disappear. It's all rainbows and butterflies over there, you reconnect with nature and start remembering again, what truly matters in life. That experience was priceless, for everything else there is Master Card :)))

This place is great, and what makes it the best is James. If you go you have to make sure that he's there. Not because the place will fall down without him but because he is what makes the place better than any other place we've stayed. Tons of hotels have concierges who get paid to tell you stuff and...

It’s Not easy to find the appropriate words to properly describe a stay at Costa Brava, I guess “epic” comes to mind. We’ve never been to a place so chill and yet entertaining at the same time. James the host of Costa Brava truly knows how to live life and keep people happy and entertained. We stayed for 5 nights... More
