MOUNTAINTOP VILLA WITH SPECTACULAR SUNSET VIEW OF CARIBBEAN

I was sick for quite a while,my doctor said I needed to relax and get away from everyday stress, I went on line and looked for just a perfect getaway. I got in touch with 4 of my girlfriends and began to plan my get away. This home was so warm and welcoming, clean, close to stores, the beaches 10 minutes away and some very fine resturantes . Just as described, the sunsets were amazing, I found myself wanting to be home when the sun went down, to enjoy them. Cell phones all worked which made all of us ladies quite happy. I am booking another trip in november, I would highly recommend this beautiful home in beautiful Rincon Puerto Rico as the perfect getaway.

When my husband and I booked this trip, we were a little hesitant because we had never been to Puerto Rico and didn't really know what to expect. Our little trepidation melted away instantly when we turned the key to this fabulous vacation rental. The staircase beckoned us with welcoming arms and we immediately felt the love and tender loving care that the owners of this house have poured into it. It is impeccably decorated and outfitted. The view from the veranda is spectacular and the outdoor shower is to die for. The owners gave us tips and pointers on transportation to and from the shore and guided to the best restaurants. This is definitely someplace we want to go back to.

About the house: Breathtaking. The pictures listed do not even do this house justice. One can see the ocean from almost every room in the house, even while laying in bed in the two downstairs bedrooms (the beds are on platforms with french doors leading to a veranda; one can see the ocean past the gigantic banana-tree leaves). The outdoor shower WITH HOT WATER allows you to rinse off from the beach as the sun sets; that itself is worth a million dollars to me. At night, the tradewinds blow across the top of the mountain and it becomes so cool and refreshing that we almost wanted sweatshirts. The veranda is also a perfect place to sunbathe during the day, 20 minutes is all you need for a golden tan.The grounds are well-kept and we were able to pick grapefruits off of a tree on the property for breakfast.

Nightlife: we rented a car but did not want to drive around at night after going to dinner and bars (we are in our 20s) The house is about 15 minutes away from the main nightlife (Casa Verde, Tamboo) but the owners left a phone number for a driver that they trust. He ended up driving us every night for about 15$ each way for the group-- it took a lot of stress off of us and allowed us all to indulge in the fun nightlife.

I give the house and the experience five stars and will be booking it again next year. The owners were very friendly and helpful, suggesting many places for us to go (tequila tuesday at Pancho Villa!). Rincon is a gem.
