Unbeatable views of sea and surf from this apartment on the ground floor of a grand home, high up on a hill. This comfortable apartment was near-ideal for a tropical getaway for my husband and me. We’re big fans of the laid-back vibe in Rincon, and this proved to be a terrific spot!
We doubt there’s a better location in town to watch the surfers catch waves, take in a sunset, or maybe even glimpse a whale spouting in the distance. At night you can hear the happy sounds of the surf and the coqui if you leave the window open.
I’m an allergy sufferer (allergic to dust mites and mold) and the ability to either let the breezes flow through the windows or use the air conditioning was key to my being able to relax on the vacation. I was comfortable even during the one stormy day we had.
We also really enjoyed the option of walking to The Beach House very nearby at the bottom of the (steep) hill to grab a bite.
While the house has 2 bedrooms, one is a master and the second has a full-size bunk bed setup. This worked fine for the two of us as we didn’t need the bunk bed room.
Be aware that driving up the hill
Is quite steep. You’ll want to go slowly and carefully to avoid the occasional pedestrian or friendly wandering kitty.
Also useful to know: The bed in the master is quite firm. The mattress sits on a slatted base, so this isn’t a cushiony type of bed. Also hot water for the shower was something we experienced only in a short burst or two during our entire stay. Not a deal-breaker for us because the cold water from the tap isn’t truly cold—you’re in Rincon and the weather is warm.
Thank you for a super stay in an
unforgettable spot. We were extremely happy and hope to return!
