Family fun for all 6 of us...

This beautiful condo is very conveniently located. Even though we rented a van, we could easily walk to shopping, restaurants and the big, public beach was directly across the street. It's a very new building so every thing (furniture, appliances, etc) was clean and in excellent shape. Jose is friendly, helpful and available. Many extras are provided: beach towels, hair dryers, iPod, DVD, kitchen gadgets and beach toys. The upstairs terrace is huge and has a view of the beach on one side and the town on the other. With the BBQ and hot tub, its and instant party. Be advised - there is adjacent construction and the street can be pretty noisy. We, however, were happily entertained by the noise and Holy Week vacationers camping at the beach. The music and activity made us feel like we were crashing a big party. I went running every day, we went on a snorkle trip to Desecheo Island, found good snorkling at Steps Beach/Playa Escalera, and got to know a lot of friendly shopkeepers and restaurant staff. My teen and young adult sons found the local skate park. My daughter loved shopping and the beach. My 70-year old Aunt had fun practicing her limited Spanish with the patient and friendly locals. A big thumbs up for La Promesa (a catering truck with beachside tables) directly across the street. 4.00 got you a delicious main course (fish, empanadas, chicken, tamales) plus rice and beans. Also, big ups to Jose for rescuing us when we got turned around on the road on our way to Rincon. Great property. A fun week.
