We want to thank Nancy Renee for sharing her paradise with us. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. The neighbor Sally was very nice and since she was a returning resident rental, she was very helpful in suggestions and reccommendations. Thank you very much.

This is a really nice place to stay (conveniently located), comfortable and cozy!!!!! The view is beautiful and you only have to walk feet to see the sunset. If you like low stress and enjoy the beauty of the tropics then this place is for you. We really enjoyed it and look foward to the next time.
Hasta Luego Mike and Trisha

My friend Kate and I stayed at Casa Serena for one week in January. It was all that we had hoped for and more. A perfect get away from the frigid VT winter, a restful week on the beach and calm nights falling asleep listening to the ocean! I would recommend this vacation spot to anyone!
Owner's Response: Dear Eva and Kate,
It's great to hear from you. I think of you when people ask if they will need a car! You are our "Vermont walkers" Please come back again.

Dear Nancy,
Thanks for the follow up. Our time in Rincon was fantastic and your home and property are so lovely (great kitchen!!). It was extremely comfortable and really felt like home. Loved the neighborhood, the town and surrounding area, just what I was hoping it to be. Laid back and hardly ever anyone on the beach, amazing. I'm so glad I was able to make this connection with you and will certainly recommend your place to the right people I know would appreciate it as much as Charlie and I. Still adjusting back into NYC, always a bit of a shock to the system after paradise, yes? I want to go back to Puerto Rico now, please.....
Thanks again for doing it just right. Casa Serena was a wonderful find and you are a most thoughtful host. We'll be in touch.
All best to you.

We stayed in one of the units at Casa Serena. Me,
my wife, and our two kids who are six and ten. We
had a blast! The place was very comfortable, and
with the terrazzo floors, easy to keep clean of sand
and dirt.
We used the kitchen to prepare breakfast and lunch
most days, and went out to dinner at night. There
were plenty of choices around town. And the Econo
supermarket is right down the street!
The beds were very comfortable and the
furnishings in the living / dining area were very
functional. There was a nice collection of books and
games to play with too.
The beach right outside the back door is paradise.
It looks as good in real life as in the photo on the
web site. It was perfect for little kids - waves
enough for a thrill but actually pretty tame. (We
were there in August - it might be more "energetic"
in surfing season.) At night you could see a million
stars.
We visited other beaches in the area but truthfully,
this one was our favorite!
We would not hesitate to return to Rincon or to
Casa Serena!

Why we return to Casa Serena
Review Submitted: July 21, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
We're headed back to Casa Serena for our third visit next winter. The reasons we return are many -- beautiful secluded beach located right outside your door, gorgeous sunsets, lovely town of Rincon, etc... Last year we celebrated Easter at the church on the downtown square with hundreds of locals and visitors like us. Puerto Rico (Rincon in particular) is a great place for families, American and native Puerto Rican. Try a day trip to a place called Gilligan's Island. While the name makes it sound cheezy, it's anything but. It's a gorgeous natural cove on the south coast about 90 minutes from Rincon.
Casa Serena is clean, impeccably maintained and always comfortable, and my dealings with Nancy have been nothing but a pleasure. Hurry though. The Rincon secret is out.

Tropical paradise -- with kids
Review Submitted: June 26, 2008
Date of Stay: April 2008
We had a wonderful vacation in Rincon, in part because Casa Serena was perfect for our two young boys (age 5 and 7). They were able to roll out of bed each morning and find their way to the beautiful garden and beach -- securely and completely at their own pace. Our children played in the surf, built castles in the sand and forts in the garden, watched crabs scurry endlessly about, climbed the almond tree, and rollicked in the hammock. As the beach outside was perfect for strolling and swimming, and nearby beaches (minutes away by car) perfect for surfing and shelling, my husband and I had plenty to do, as well.
We were surprised to find that the beach in front of Casa Serena was great for swimming, surfing and snorkeling, since it is rare to find such qualities in a single beach. Perhaps because we were visiting in April, the tail end of the surfing season, water visibility was average. However, there is a low shelf of rock coral at the shoreline which harbors beautiful and abundant marine life (we saw an octopus while snorkeling) in relatively shallow water. This shelf also serves as a terrific base for body surfing/boogie boarding. Boogie boards and kayaks can be rented from Villa Cofresi, a short walk down the beach. Villa Cofresi is a good place to visit if you want a roped-off swimming area -- and more of a social scene.
Casa Serena's beach-side garden is what makes it a unique Caribbean vacation home. The palm and fruit tree-filled garden, together with the beautiful, mature almond tree on the beach provided us the perfect respite from sun and surf.
It was a pleasure meeting Gladys, the housekeeper and her husband, Hector, who were extremely kind and helpful. I enjoyed chatting with them about local culture and tropical plants. We were especially touched by their thoughtfulness in bringing us an assortment of fruits (coconut, starfruit, sapodilla!) from their own garden, as they knew we were passionate about tropical and exotic fruits.
Yes, the beach is beautiful and the sunsets are spectacular. But most importantly, the unique amenities of Casa Serena allowed us to enjoy a truly relaxing tropical vacation with our kids.
