Before you go confirm with owners that construction of the new villa is complete (we think it should be done by this summer). ON the first day there we were bothered by some jack-hammering which the owners put a quick stop to. From then on there was some construction noise but hardly a distraction from the pouding surf, sweet neighbors and overall value-laden benefits of this property. Those who fancy the "pampered resort" lifestyle need not apply. Those that wish to immerse themselves in the culture, people, cats, dogs and roosters of Rincon, should by all means consider these villas. We stayed at Lower 1, but had the run of the place to ourselves. Accordingly, we napped in just about every splendid outdoor area at all three villas. Long walks on the beach, great parasailing outfitter, best sunsets ever. Pretty good, pretty good.

We stayed here with extended family--brothers, sisters, parents, in-laws, and had the time of our lives. The Caribbean is right there, access to all things is easy, and the home is in excellent condition. I will be back!

Stayed in unit 1 upper with my wife .Well equipped .Clean and sunny Nice porch with good support staff. Moved to upper3 when the rest of the family came.Just as nice of a unit.These villa"s are on the beach in a communityRemember this is not a resort.There are many who would not like the area.However it has a sense of community. All the local neighbors were friendly.It was fun seeing the Little league playing games during the evening.

Too much to list: The beach, the surf, the living space, the rooftop pool, the laid back atmoshphere of the town of Rincon; everthing was exactly as advertised and exactly what we were looking for. We stayed in the lower level of Villa 1 from Dec 27 to Jan 1, 2013. There is one review on TripAdvsor from the summer that is pretty critical. Do not ignore it. Rather, read it and see if it sounds like you. If your idea of "the beach" is Since we are from the States, we wanted to experience what it would be like to live in the English countryside. A more perfect spot we could not have found! Thea Sandals resort, or a condo in Naples in a gated community, then this place is not for you. This place is for you if you want to hang out in a real Puerto Rican village on the sea that happens to have a fair, but not huge, amount of tourism. We saw and talked to nothing but friendly locals.
I have spent some time on the east side of the island for work, and had prepared my family for the daily cloudbursts and showers. Never happened. The west coast of the island is much drier. We used open windows and ceiling fans for most of our climate control. We did some shallow water snorkeling and saw tons of fish, and a couple rather large barracuda! But we left them alone, and they returned the favor.
I have two collge students, one is 21, the other 19, and they had just finished fall semester at the University of Minnesota. This trip and this villa and this spot on the beach were the perfect decompression chamber for them. We loved this place and will be back.

Starting with the online reservations and website to the end of the stay checkout, everything about this Vacation Villa is done well. The descriptions and pictures on the web site are accurate and booking a stay is easy. Once you get to Rincon (rent a car) the directions to the Villa are spot on. Then the relaxation and fun begin. Very nicely furnished inside and out, our stay in Upper Villa 1 was nearly perfect. New fully functioning appliances made cooking, dining and cleaning up after, a snap. The front loading W/D allowed you to pack extra light and have plenty of beachwear for a week. The bedding is excellent, you awake ready for another great day. An entertainment center supplied the musical background for the whole stay. Nice TV and DVD also, but who needs it with the view from the large deck overlooking the crystal blue Caribbean Sea. This property is right ON the beach. You step off the back deck and onto the clean sand. From there swimming, body surfing, snorkeling or just catching rays is at your feet. During our stay the surf was up and longboards were being deployed just 15 minutes north by car and catching huge waves. We also spent a morning on horseback doing beach and trail rides. But the beauty of this stay was the comfort and views from the Villa itself. Upper 1 has a third level deck that offers privacy and all day sun, again with amazing vistas. Steps away are Villa's 2 and 3 which have an upper level infinity view pool and sauna which are available to all guests. We were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves and spent many hours cooling off there from the abundant sunshine. The only issue we had was very spotty internet service, however this was a temporary community problem and not related to the Villa itself. This property is managed well and has everything the web site promised. Looking forward to spending some days there in the future, next time with more family to share the fun.
