A Bit of Heaven

What a beautiful home. This was the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. The biggest decision was "Do we go to the beach, or sit by the pool?" We usually did both. The home was fully equipped with everything we needed. Just needed to make a stop at the local store for groceries. Weather was ideal, sunsets were beautiful. Make sure to go for a "Happy Burger"....just down the road a bit. We did take a side trip to Ponce...a couple of hours away. Beautiful countryside. We will come again.

A very beautiful home in a great location! My husband and I along with 4 teens (ages 15-17) really enjoyed the home and property. The house was clean, beautifully landscaped, very comfortable and spacious. Don't expect high-end amenitites, as the plates were mostly plastic (fortunately had some nice wine glasses), but the beds were comfortable and linnens acceptable. We also felt very safe in this location.
It's a five minute walk to the beach, which is also the only marina in Rincon, so many other activities are close (Katarina sailing, parasailing, snorkeling, Shipwreck Restaurant and horseback riding on the beach). The swimming is ok there, and the beach was deserted. Found some cool shells and sea glass. Unfortunately the parasailing boat had been shipped away for the low season the week before we got there. The local restaurants are fabulous - we ate at Pool bar sushi, Parrot Inn/Rum Shack, Shipwreck - and all were very good and quite fun.
The house is not easy to find the first time, particularly at night. Our rental car and phone GPSs didn't get us there, but with some help from the local police (who don't speak english), we were able to find the road but not the house. When the property managers didn't answer, we called the owners, and John picked up immediately and was very helpful and kind. I would recommend getting good directions to the house before driving there.
All in all a wonderful stay. When we weren't out exploring, we all spent our time not only around the beautiful pool, but also on the 2nd (main) floor balcony - great views of the pool, of a nicely landscaped neighborhood and a peek at the ocean. The roof top space is also great for early morning sunrises or late night star viewing. In PR, it's all about being outside, and this house provides a beautiful place to do that when you're not out exploring. This house was a high point for all of us on this great vacation. Highly recommended.

Our Family Vacation Could Not Have Been Better
Submitted: April 9, 2013
Stayed: March 2013
My family and I spent four days at Casa Ensenada. My fiance and I traveled from Washington DC and the rest of the crew from Minnesota. We were celebrating my Dads 60th birthday so I was a little hesitant about booking something like this for the first time.
I must say though, with all sincerity, that this vacation is one we will never forget.
The house, was over the top clean and perfect for our group of eight people. We could have fit at least another 2-3 if we had chosen to. All the amenities where there. We went out to enjoy the local cuisine and cooked at home. We never felt that we were missing anything.
We used the pool everyday and there was beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc.
We ere about a 5 minute walk to the beach, which was the best one to swim at and hang with the locals. It was a beautiful property. Hands down, would visit again.
Thank you so much for helping create memories for me and mi familia!
All the best-
Maria Steelman

We all loved Casa Ensenada in Rincon! It's a great place to relax and to spend quality time with friends and family. I rented the place to celebrate my 27th birthday and I felt like I was on my own vacation home; it's completely equipped. Pool was my favorite part of the house, from morning 'til dawn, we didn't miss the beach at all, and I'm from Puerto Rico and as a local I love the beach. I've been in many vacation houses in the Island, Vieques and Culebra and I have to say that Casa Ensenada is my favorite one. Can't wait to go back!
Excelente lugar; limpio, completamente equipada, comoda y perfecto para pasar tiempo relax con familiares y/o amistades cercanas. La piscina fue mi parte favorita de la casa! De todos los lugares que hemos alquilado en Puerto Rico, Vieques y Culebra, esta es mi favorita. Me sentia en mi propia casa. La pasamos divino!
Gracias John!

Family Vacation

We stayed at this house for four nights and had a very good time. The house photos accurately reflect the furnishings and what is available for guests. We enjoyed the pool and the porches, especially in the evenings. Make sure you get an accurate map when driving from San Juan...tough to find the first time! Air-conditioning, water heaters, everything worked just great. The only improvement we could think of is the house could be cleaned a bit more thoroughly. Crumbs were found in the couch cushions and the shower drains were not cleaned upon arrival. All in all, a good home. John was very helpful and responsive. Thanks

Beautiful Rincon, PR, cool house

Our stay in Rincon, Puerto Rico was wonderful. There are many neat attractions in Rincon. Wonderful snorkeling and beaches and the light house was beautiful, too. We took a pottery class at Rincon Pottery and it was fun and therapeutic for my 4 children and my husband & myself. We also travelled an hour or so north & south to see some other attractions. Old San Juan is about 2 hrs away and also zip lining adventures, so spending a few days on the NE side of puerto rico is also a good idea. All of the people in puerto rico were polite and welcoming. If you don't speak much Spanish, most people at least speak some English or there are also many fluent Enlish speaking people in most places that we went. We loved shopping at the Econo grocery store right in Rincon. There are some great restaurants in Rincon as well. Our stay at Colinas Ensenada (our rental house) was wonderful. The pool was warm & clean. The house was very nice. There were lots of noisy birds that sang even during the night, so if you are a light sleeper, ear plugs might be helpful. We found Rincon & Puerto Rico very safe and had no problems with theft or security. The house is surrounded by tall walls and has a locking gate at the driveway entrance, so this also added a sense of security - although we didn't ever feel unsafe. We went to a beautiful lighthouse with cliff/ocean views in Cabo Rojo to the south. We also went to Arecibo to visit the radiotelesope/observatory which was a little scientific/techie, but it was also amazing & interesting - especially to view the telescope on the observation deck. There is also a cool cave that you can enter & walk thru to the end which is open on the side of a cliff with breathtaking views near Arecibo (called cuervo ventana i think). We also stayed about 1 day in San Juan to visit the old forts in Old San Juan which was amazing. Another day in San Juan area would have been nice to be able to take advantage of some zip lining opportunities. We had never snorkeled before & the locals at Steps Beach in Rincon (part of tres palmas marine reserve) were so helpful & also had snorkel gear for rent. Loved the house. Loved Puerto Rico. Hope to vacation there again! We have 4 children ages 7-14 & they had a blast.

Returned for another great vacation

I returned to this great home vacation after being there on July with a group of friends but this time I went with my family. They loved the house and love even more the private pool. This is the perfect place to get away from stress. The house was very clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, again the downstairs air conditioner and television did not functioned. But everything else was great and the sunny weekend was the perfect getaway for my sister who came from San Francisco to enjoy a family weekend at this beautiful rental home. The owner always answered my emails rapidly and was very nice. We just had a hurricane pass our Island last week and the home was in perfect condition in the weekend when we got there so the company that gives maintainance does a very great job. Hope to be back again soon.

Owner's Response: Thank you for the review. We had the maintenance company check to find out what was happening with the air-conditioners and it turned out to be a breaker switch which had the wrong amps on it. We have fixed it and please always let us know if something is not properly working.
We have also installed new LCD Flat Screen TV's upstairs and downstairs and switched from the local cable company to Direct TV to avoid any further interruptions with service.
