| The interior of Casa Soleada was recently redecorated to reflect the fun and color of the Caribbean. San Juan gold, tropical green and deep sea blue make each room a stimulating experience. The gracious porch provides a shady retreat mid-moring to dusk while providing the perfect place to relax and take in the spectacular view. A tiled bathroom is equipped with modern fixtures and showers. In the comfortable well-ventilated bedroom and sleeping area, all beds are new. Five ceiling fans supplement the wonderful tropical breezes that cool the home, making it comfortable all day long. House has ample parking, and a large yard with citrus, palm and flowering trees. If in season, feel free to pick your morning grapefruit and oranges. |

Looking across our home from the kitchen to the living areas shows the vaulted 12-foot ceilings, the dining area, the living room and doorway to the pool. Framed historic posters advertising Spanish Festivals provide spots of color and the reminder that you are away in a tropical paradise for fun and relaxation. White tile floors throughout the house provide a clean, cool atmosphere. |
|
| The comfortable living room with white archways surrounded by faux stucco finish reflects the architecture of modern San Juan. Twin love seats are grouped with two banquettes to provide a wonderful conversation area. During the evenings you can relax in comfort and enjoy one of 50 movies from the house library. A TV receives stations from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands...or turn on the Radio/CD/Tape player for local music, play music from the CD collection or listen to disks you've brought along. |

| A white wicker dining set is in the center of the house with double doors opening to the eastern view. Enjoy breakfast with the sun rising over Vieques Island. Later, open the door for lunch and let the breezes drift through, as hawks and eagles soar through your view on updrafts off the Caribbean. Night dining includes an incredible "light show" from the streets and houses far below. |

The master bedroom features a queen-size bed, side chairs and built in dresser cabinets for your belongings. Painted tropical green in a faux stucco style, the room opens into the garden through the bedroom's french doors. The bedroom is cooled by an over head fan. Swing arm lamps provide light for reading in bed on both sides. With the louvred door closed your bedroom becomes a private, romantic hide-away. |

|
| A separate sleeping area, provides a comfortable day bed with twin matress and trundle bed twin below. A third person or child may be accomodated with an inflatable cot. During the day, the sleeping area becomes a pleasant reading area, away from the rest of the house. |

The generous dipping pool just outside the door offers complete privacy and fantastic views of the Caribbean and surrounding mountains. While you swim look one way and your in "Colorado". Turn your head and see a 20 mile shoreline from Naguabo on the north to Yabucoa in the south. At night, swim under the stars and look out over a thousand lights along the eastern shore of the island. The gradual pool is approximately 4 feet deep with gentle steps down from the deck. Slip in, relax, cool off and enjoy a drink, but be careful...you may never want to leave the house. |

| Casa Soleada is owned by Marilyn and Jim Meighan of Dunbarton, New Hampshire. When Jim and Marilyn retire, they plan to use the property as a winter home.
Jim says," Casa Soleada is the perfect getaway cottage for couples and small families. You'll always be content to stay there, but will be close to many wonderful activities, attractions and services when you leave.
Marilyn says,"I love the feel of the bright colors and clean white surfaces throughout Casa Soleada. You feel refreshed and stimulated by a true Caribbean house." |
