About Tim & Margaret Gill

Maggie and I met, where else? On a beach but on Long Island when we were just teenagers in 1986. We celebrated our Silver Anniversary in July of 2011. We have a couple of terrific children, Jessica 25, still in medical school and Brian 23, working for Metro North. I inspect buildings for a living and Maggie drives a school bus. When we're not working, we love to get away to our future retirement home in Rincon where we've got the pleasure of making some real nice friends over the years in and around our Puerto Rican home. We enjoy getting away from it all whenever we can on one of those nightly JetBlue flights from JFK straight into Aguadilla-then it's only about a 25 minute drive to our warmer front door. Peace, quite, sunshine and smiles. Ah, Rincon, how we've missed you.

After sailing the Caribbean a few times it was time to find a place in the sun where we could easily get away from the cold northeast and faster lifestyle. After deciding that Puerto Rico is the ideal place for folks from the states, we spent several of our next vacations traveling different areas of the Enchanted Isle. After learning that our real estate agent who serves the entire island of Puerto Rico, has plans on retiring in Rincon, we knew we had to check it out.

While I was looking for a house on its own piece of property (we vacation in upstate New York often), Maggie was looking for a beach-front community with security and plenty of amenities-well, she won out. Don't they say that the woman is always right. Well she certainly was in this case. We've found a terrific second home right at the beach, with great neighbors and friends along with the piece of mind of the 24 hour gated community when we're not able to get away. Punta del Mar Beach Village sits on approx. 145 acres of ocean-front property. The largest of its kind in western Puerto Rico.

Tim & Margaret Gill purchased this villa in 2004
Why Tim & Margaret Gill chose Rincon

This secure and friendly residential complex on the northwestern corner of Puerto Rico is truly paradise. The weather is outstanding, nature is bountiful and time spent just so relaxing. Our Home away from Home. What a find it was to find Rincon.

What makes this villa unique

We know you have many places to choose from in which to spend your vacation, so why choose our property? Our vacation home is located in Puntas along the north side of Rincon so you can surf right 'outside the front door'. The area is also great for boogie-boarding and snorkeling. The home is in a gated community, with a 24 hour security guard and rests on 145 beautifully natural and landscaped acres along the 2 miles of secluded beach. The quiet and private community provides security and piece of mind for adults and especially for your small children-truly a terrific family environment. Our home is a 2-story Mediterranean-styled villa of over 2,000 square feet inside and furnished exterior patios outside. You can watch the water at the same time you're barbequing. You will enjoy comfortable nights on quality mattresses, pillows and sheets. There are plenty of towels and linens along with a nicely furnished kitchen. Central air conditioning on each floor is provided along with a laundry room. There is a 42 inch LCD TV for movie watching along with a stereo with an I-pod port for your favorite music. The villa is nicely decorated to complement the beach-front environment. Ocean views are present from the dining room and master bedroom. Warm, inviting and cozy you will find our home most relaxing for a fabulous vacation stay.While in Rincon, Maggie likes to walk/jog the mile-long driveway from the guard booth. There are tennis and basketball courts as well as an exercise room at the club house near the resort-styled swimming pool. We spend time collecting sea glass on our often secluded beach. We also snorkel one our beach and often relax at night playing dominoes or hanging with our neighbors. When we're out and about during the day, there is always a choice of what to see, where to go or what to buy. Privacy and security are two words we use to describe our vacation getaways at the gated community of Punta del Mar Beach Village.

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by how nice the villa we rented for the week. It was everything the owner had described and more. It had everything you could want with a lot of space and privacy. The villa was located about 100 yards from the beach which was very private. We felt very safe there in the gated community. There was swimming pool and tennis courts for all to enjoy.

Rincon was a very relaxing town with a lot of friendly people. There was plenty of great places to eat and drink. Our favorite place was just a 10 minute walk down the beach to Casa Islena.

West side of Puerto Rico had fantastic beaches. Lots of places to swim, snorkel and surf. Speaking of surfing, Tim's manager was able to get us surf lessons at the last minute with a wonderful instructor (his name is Adrien). That was well worth the time and money!

Overall, this was the best vacation my husband and I have ever taken. Relaxing, good weather, great fresh food and all around fun! We will be back again next year, but with our family this time and we plan to rent from Tim again. Believe me, we cannot stop talking to all of family and friends about what a wonderful place Punta Del Mar was to stay.
Owner's Response: We are so happy you had a terrific stay. Thank you, Tim & Margaret

Any vacation can be perfect when everything goes according to plan, but when a vacation runs into unexpected challenges and still ends up perfect, you know you've found something extraordinary. My family and I encountered an unexpected situation upon our arrival to this property (details of the event are unimportant). What I will share is the unbelievable responsiveness and concern from Tim, the owner of this property. He was accessible and reachable, answering my calls and emails. He was professional and sympathetic. He was resourceful and accommodating. He was exactly the type of person you would hope to deal with in this situation. Because of him, our vacation truly was excellent and we felt confident in our decision to rent his beautiful house.

The villa itself is wonderful. Spacious, clean, comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need for a stay and made cooking at the villa a pleasure. We have a toddler and having the common grassy area in front of the villa was paramount. We could sit out in front of the villa and watch him run and play. There were only a few people at the complex and we felt as if we were the only ones there. The beach out front was beautiful, and although the surf was rough this time of year, the natural tidal pool was a perfect, protected place for our son to splash around and enjoy the sand and sea.

This location was reminiscent of my time living on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The smells, the sun, the trade winds, the beach... everything was perfect.

We would not hesitate to rent here again and I would highly recommend this as a vacation for anyone. Tim was a pleasure to work with as he has great character and will stand by his property!

Owner's Response: Some things will always be out of ones control but to make the very best of a situation as to still provide the best possible vacation for you and your family is of the utmost importance. This is your vacation. This is your time away. This is your time away from work, from the pressures, from the hustle and bustle of this modern all too busy world. You look forward to getting away for that annual vacation months before it comes, so when it does come, it's got to be the very best. Whatever it takes to make it great, that's the only concern we have for our guests. Thank you.

We loved staying at Punta Del Mar. Our villa was clean and well maintained. We were familiar with the area and loved being able to stay in this beautiful family community. My husband was able to surf right down the beach in front of the units which was a major bonus! Our 2 young boys were also able to swim in the tidal pool on calmer surf days. Tim and Margaret are warm, friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend!!!
Owner's Response: We enjoyed sharing our home in the sun with you. Being able to surf right in front of the complex is really convienent and you're right about the tide pool when the ocean isn't too rough. It's a great place for small children without having to go to the public beach on the other side of Rincon. Cleanliness and your comfort are at the top of our list when it comes to our guests. We are happy to have provided you and your family with a most enjoyable stay. Thanks.

My family and I stayed for four days in January. The condo was wonderful, clean and had everything you would need to enjoy the sun, surf and beach. The kids loved the boogie boards, and the coolers came in very handy. Tim was great to deal with and we would recommend this place to anyone!!! It was a very peaceful in the complex, there were never more than 10 people on the beach by the complex. I wish I could give you more than 5 stars!!!!
Owner's Response: We are very happy you enjoyed your stay. Having that once or twice a year vacation is all too short and really requires a seculed and relaxing atmosphere. This gated community provides just that and we are fortunate to have been able to purchase our vacation and future retirement home here. We are very happy to be able to share it with such nice and considerate people.

We stayed at this condo for a week and had a fantastic vacation! The location is perfect, close to everything in rincon yet secluded and secure. The condo was very roomy and the owners thought of everything from snorkel equipment to coffee. I would highly recommend staying here for your vacation. We also enjoyed the restaurant tropical sunset that was reccommended by the owners. If we go back to rincon, punts del mar is the only place we would stay. Thank you for a great trip!

Owner's Response: Thanks for the kind words. The villa offers space which you can't get from a hotel room. When on vacation, who wants to live out of a suitcase or an under-sized closet. The villa at Punta del Mar is a terrific place to unwind and kick off your shoes-being close to nightlife and restaurants but far away for absolute relaxation. We're glad you loved it- we love it too.

What a wonderful family vacation! My parents, brother and I just visited Tim and Maggie's home this week for a last minute family vacation and we were very comfortable here. The property was immaculate, well decorated and had a great layout. The furniture seemed almost brand new and the linens were fresh and clean. We love hanging out on one of the many patios and watching the double rainbows that appeared every morning (it only rained for about 20 minutes in the mornings) or star gazing at night. I also noticed that the staff at the Punta del Mar Village was incredibly friendly and happy to help with recommendations for places to eat and hang out.

The beach in front of the property was narrow, but gorgeous and great for surfing but not swimming. If you take just a 10 minute drive you can get to a perfect swimming beach.

I would most definitely recommend this property to family and friends and hope to stay here again myself!
Owner's Response: Thanks Katie,

As a frequent visitor to Rincon for surfing, I've stayed in a number of different places. This is by far the most beautiful and well-maintained property I've stayed at. Went for the weekend with my grandma and girlfriend, and both loved it there. Grandma really loved chilling on the balconies and my gf and I loved walking on the beach and the close proximity to a number beaches for surfing and snorkeling. The owner was very helpful and easy to reach. The house is stocked with all the things you'd need for beach-going and exploring. Very serene and relaxing property, would definitely recommend and rent again. Thank you for a lovely stay in your lovely house.

Perfect Trip

5 of 5
Submitted: November 19, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
In 13 years of visiting Rincon I have stayed all over the area. From bunk beds in the surf lodge, to friends couches, to luxury rentals in Ensenada Beach - I feel confident saying I know the local offerings well. This condo in Punta Del Mar is easily one of the nicest places to stay in Rincon. All of the basics apply: clean, big, air conditioning, full kitchen, big bedrooms, etc. What sets this place apart is the location. Punta Del Mar is on the fringe of town on the North facing coast of Rincon. The beach out front is practically private. In the course of 7 days, I may have seen 5 people out front on the beach. This is an asset you can't put a value on. Being from the northeast, I sometimes get sick of seeing so many people from NY/NJ every time I visit Rincon. This condo and it's surroundings provides the peace and quiet that none of the other places in town can. There's a nice little wave at the Rivermouth out front that can get fun, and if that get's blown out or too big, you can always go around the corner to the crowded spots in town (by car). A 5 minute drive into Aguada takes you to Guaynabo's Tropical Sunset where we had dinner 3 times during our stay (really a local spot, serving fresh Mahi Mahi and Conch and cold beer). You can also walk to Casa Islena and Tamboo which are traditional Rincon restaurants in the Puntas neighborhood.

To be direct, I would rent here again in a heartbeat. My wife, my daughter and I finally feel like we had a real vacation.

Owner's Response: We are very happy that you found our place so beautiful and the area very relaxing. We strive to make our home as comfortable as possible and with over 2,000 sq. ft. of living area it is indeed spacious. Snorkeling just over the walk bridge is great but there are areas where the floor of the ocean will be sandy and then more rocky in other areas. A good pair of sunglasses will allow one to see the areas of sand and coral from the beach. Of course the coral areas is where all those beautiful fish hang out. We've even have seen seahorses which is kind of neat. Just to the left of the walk bridge, the floor is more sandy and much easier on the feet. A nice thing about our beach is that you can either sunbathe or sit and relax underneath palms trees. Beach chairs are provided in the closet underneath the staircase inside the villa. Thanks for choosing our home for your vacation and for the kind words or your review. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay.

Accommodations were great for a beach/surfing vacation in Puerto Rico. The complex is very secure, with great beach access on the property.

The condo itself was spacious and well-outfitted for a comfortable stay. We'd go back!
