Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My family and I, a total of 17 including 7 children, just returned from our amazing stay at Coralina del Mar. I can say that for 6 nights we lived in paradise. The views from the sun deck are breathtaking. Waking up every morning to the sounds of the waves and falling asleep on the hammocks with the cool breeze from the ocean are memories that will keep our family coming back.

The house is gorgeous, well kept, and extremely accommodating. The layout allowed us to enjoy each others' company while simultaneously giving us much needed privacy when needed. The rooms are spacious with sufficient storage space, the bathrooms are sizable and the kitchens are more than enough to put together a delicious family dinner (thanks mom).

Kristine's attentiveness to her guests is a rare commodity. In an era where customer service is left to automated machines it was great to experience extraordinary attention to our needs.

Kristine and Rusty, thank you for making this trip one that will live in our family's history for ever. See you soon. May God bless you and your family.

Our 2nd Trip was even better than the first!

SPEAK2ME Stamford, CT
Review Submitted: November 17, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
This was our 2nd visit to Coralina Del Mar -- and our decision to come back a second time was easy! (This is an annual trip for a group of a dozen friends and we have selected Rincon and this property in 2008 and 2009)
* First, the house is very nicely furnished and well equipped -- everything we needed for a relaxing vacation was there. The 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms gives us plenty of room to spread out, but also has great common areas under the gazebo and on the large upper deck for everyone to hang out together.
* Second, the location and views are outstanding -- it is very convienient to walk just a few steps to Sandy Beach and driving into Rincon for groceries or shopping is also very easy. We walked to several bars/restaurants down the street which were very convenient on the nights we did not want to cook at the house.
* Third, Kristine is easy to work with and she took the time to ensure several special requests for our trip were handled with care.
* Lastly, we love the fact that we can just show up at the house and be ready to relax with friends and enjoy the beautiful house and beach.

I am happy to recommend Kristine and Coralina Del Mar to anyone considering a vacation rental in Puerto Rico.

My girlfriend and I stayed on the top unit of Coralina Del Mar over Labor Day week and had an incredible time.

The house is absolutely beautiful, clean, comfortable and well maintained. The beds were as comfortable as sleeping at home.

We loved being able to go out and have our morning cup of coffee
at the top of the sun deck and take in the incredible view of the ocean and watch and listen as the waves crashed into the rocks right below the deck. Truly amazing!!

You literally can go from a spectacular view of the ocean from the top the deck to walking down the steps and being right on the beach. Very well layed out. We especially loved the huge gazebo and either sitting out there or laying out on the hammocks enjoying the ocean breeze. VERY relaxing!!

Kris and Rusty were very attentive and made you feel as if you were family. They checked on us numerous times to make sure all our needs were met.

Kris and Rusty, thank you both very much for everything. We'll definitely be back to Coralina del Mar and would recommend it to anyone.
Owner's Response: Patrick and Romi,
Thanks so much for coming and spending some time at our little slice of heaven. We look forward to your return soon. Thanks again for everything!

Best,
Kristine

Exquisite property and location

Rum-runners Tybee Island, Georgia, USA
Review Submitted: March 29, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
My husband and our two adult children spent spring break in Puerto Rico and stayed at the Coralina Del Mar home. It was beautiful, impeccably kept and had everything you could ever want or need in a vacation home. First off, the property is built on a point that starts literally at the sand and there is a wonderful deck that rises to a spectacular vista with a 270-degree view of ocean and beaches -- truly amazing. The deck is furnished with great seating and hand-made lounge chairs. I enjoyed the cool breezes up there as well as the quiet. For beach-lovers, the property is literally three steps from one of the prettiest beaches around. We sat on the sand and watched the numerous surfers catch some intense waves.

The property features a wonderful tiled pool to cool off when you get too warm. It has a shaded and thatched cabana with hammocks swinging with the breezes. Perfect for when you've had too much sun for the day and could use a relaxing siesta. The kitchen is fully stocked and well appointed. We stayed in the three-bedroom property and it was so comfortable. Each of our kids had their own rooom and bath. The master bedroom sports rich mahogany furniture and more than enough space to store anything and everything.

We met the owners, Rusty and Kris, and they were incredibly nice and accommodating. They helped us find great snorkeling areas and they called to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they've put a lot of time and energy in making this property the diamond that it is. They're efforts have not gone unnoticed, that's for sure!

I would recommend this property to anyone who adores beautiful views, spacious and clean accomodations and who are used to the finer things in life. This place is amazing.

C and J ( and J and M too!)
Owner's Response: We are so happy that you and your family had a wonderful time. We look forward to having you back again soon!

Can't Wait to Come Back

Jennifer&Paul West Islip, New York
Review Submitted: March 22, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We already loved Rincon, but this home made our stay memorable. It is located right on an ideal stretch of beach, perfect for surfing, sunbathing or swimming (on calmer days). Every morning we would wake up to amazing views from the living room or outside on either the lower or upper decks. The house has everything you could ask for and even came equipped with toys for our young children and a pool. The homeowners also provided us with a pack & play, highchair, and baby gate. We stayed in the bottom half of the house. It is well maintained and large enough to accommodate two couples with one small child each. When you are here you will feel comfortable and relaxed. Your days can be spent sunbathing on the beach or lazing around in the pool.

We ate out most meals, but the house has a great kitchen and dining area. There are many great restaurants in walking distance and others are only a short drive away.

We had such a relaxing and enjoyable vacation and cannot wait to come back. We want to thank Rusty and Kristine for making this experience so amazing!! You have such a beautiful home.

Beautiful and great for kids and adults!

Can't wait to go back. Long Island, NY
Review Submitted: March 13, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We rented the bottom floor of the house with another couple and we each had one young child. The house was perfect for us because it was spacious and equipped with everything we needed, inlcuding highchair, pack and play and even a baby gate! There were also some toys that were much appreciated by the kids. The beach was spectacular and the pool was great too! It was walking distance to fantastic bars and restaurants so we didn't have to get in the car very often. The house was wonderfully quiet and the view from the upper deck accessible from both the top and lower units was amazing. The house was furnished beautifully and comfortably and the outdoor shower was great too. The house was the perfect place for us and we enjoyed our week there immensely!

Perfect family get away

bkerock Reddng, California, USA
Review Submitted: February 26, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Our group consisted of my wife & myself, three adult children, their two spouses, and three grandchildren. The occasion was a celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary. After exhaustive research we settled on Coralina Del Mar. From the first contact with Kristine to the last goodbyes with Elier their property manager, the experience couldn't have been more wonderful. We had great plans to travel and visit several locations. Ultimately we stayed in the Rincon and San Sebastian areas enjoying the shopping, beaches and this beautiful home.

I echo past reviews in that pictures cannot do justice to the home, it's location and the beauty that surrounds it. Our two granddaughters played for hours with the toys and dress-up clothes that Rusty & Kris have in the home. We enjoyed relaxing moments on the beach, on the deck overlooking the beach and ocean, or relaxing in a hammock or even sitting in the home overlooking the beach area. The pool is not large, but perfect to play in. We rented all three areas of the house. The home is built in such a way that you can hardly tell anyone is using the other parts of the house. Great soundproofing.

We took a day to visit a waterfall in San Sebastian with a Puerto Rican friend. Rusty even offered to take us there (he is from San Sebastian.) Highly recommend you take an afternoon and go there. Little bit of a hike, but my wife navigated it just fine and she won't take many moderate trails. May be next to impossible to find if you don't get directions.

Our sons used their time learning to surf. There are great areas to do just that in the area. Elier can help you with contacts.

Steps beach took all of 5 minutes to get to. Great place to play in the water, snorkel or just relax. Of course, since the house is already on Sandy beach, you could spend several days just playing there.

All in all the property was perfect. Kristine & Rusty were awwesome. Elier was always helpful and attentive. Thanks for meeting and exceeding our expectations.
Owner's Response: Bryan,
Thank you so much for choosing our home as your destination to celebrate such a meaningful time in your lives. We are so happy to have worked with you and your family and that you went home with good memories. We look forward to another visit very soon!

All our best,
Kristine and Rusty

Coralina del Mar

Review Submitted: January 2, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We spent a delightful week at this villa over Christmas. We rented the two units on the top floor, which were ample for our family of five. The location is just spectacular, and the owners have done a great job of maximizing the utility of the outside space. If you want a location with dramatic ocean views, yet walking distance to numerous restaurants, this is the place for you.
Owner's Response: To the Scabble addicts,
Thanks so much for finding our home here in Rincon. It was a pleasure working with you and arranging your vacation plans. I truly hope to see you again in the near future. All our best for the 2009 year!

More beautiful than the pictures!

FCM Philadelphia, PA
Review Submitted: December 11, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
Coralina Del Mar is an amazing spot... by far the nicest around! We rented the entire house for a company vacation. The house greatly exceeded our expectations! We were able to accommodate our large group all in one spot without feeling cramped. You are right on the beach and have an amazing view from all of the three decks. The furniture and amenities are even perfect for this place. The house makes you feel like you are in a high end resort that feels like home. The way the house is divided offers all its guests space to all gather together and space to get away from everyone. There are a few places within walking distance for drinks and food, which make this place even more relaxing and convenient. If you are interested in surfing lessons, call Rincon Surf School. They taught our whole group and we had an amazing time!

Kristine, Elier and Laly (not to mention everyone we met in Rincon) were extremely friendly and great to work with. Our group can't wait to visit Coralina Del Mar again!
Owner's Response: Liz and crew,
We are so glad that your company retreat went well. We so look forward to seeing you back soon. Stay warm in PA!

What a getaway!

Jeff's crew Fairfield County, CT
Review Submitted: November 12, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Leave it up to our friend Mike to find this gem of a vacation home. We rented the whole house for a surprise three person birthday getaway. We had enough space to spread out within the grounds but at the same time found the pool, gazebo and cliff side patio a place all eleven of us could easily gather to hang out. To be able to admire surfers from the cliff side, walk easily to a beach, have our own kitchen, sleep soundly to the waves, and relax in a beautiful, clean, eco-friendly home was a vacation we will come back again and again for!
Owner's Response: We are so happy that Mike's hard work paid off. It was a pleasure to have all of you at our home and we hope to see you back very soon.
